Committee Organization: Committee as a Whole
Committee Accomplishments:

The Committee considered the course drop procedure in regard to
bypassing the instructor after the first 30 days. The Committee
originally voted to change the current policy to make the student
consult the instructor and follow channels even if the instructor
did not approve. At the next meeting the committees, based on
information from Deans and Department Heads, voted to rescind the
original action and leave the policy as is. Deans and Department
Heads did not want to be consulted after the first 30 days.

The Committee also discussed possible editorial changes for the
catalog sections on transfer credit. Further action awaits a re-
wording from the Vice Chancellor's Office.

Resolutions initiated: None

to

Unfinished business: A request to reconsider the entire drop
policy as a result of the large number of students attempting
drop through the Vice Chancellor's Office.

Evaluation of the Committee:
