Report of the Admissions Committee

1984

Committee Organization, Sub-Committees, Research Activities, etc.

During most of the 1983-84 academic year a sub-committee was used to
handle the small number of appeals that occasionally arise needing prompt
attention. The sub-committee consisted of the Director of Admissions,

the Committee Chairman, the Vice Chairman and the representative from
Continuing Education. The main function of the committee is to serve as
an appeals board for students who have not met admissions and/or retention
requirements and who have falsified admission documents. In addition,
much time has been spent by the full committee discussing committee functions,
regulations, revised charge, potential policy changes, appeals procedures,
pre-college admissions, Special Talent Waivers, international student
admissions and TOEFL requirements for international students.

Committee accomplishments including recommendations to agencies other than
the Faculty Senate

A. The Admissions Committee has acted on appeals from 228 persons durin
the 1983-84 academic year.

February 13, 1984 - Recommendation that the University support the
General Administration's proposal policy draft on minimum admission
criteria for the University System.

Citation of Resolution Numbers of Senate Resolutions: None ey

Proposals and/or Business to be Carried Over to Next Year:
A. Recommendations for quoto on admission of international students.

B. Recommendations on the use of TOEFL examination for international
students transferring within the United States to ECU.

Evaluation of Committee:

Structure, Duties, Functions: All satisfactory. The dedication of the
members of this committee is shown by the attendance at meetings when the
University is not in session. Personnel have performed exceptionally well.

Suggestions for Improving the Effectiveness of the Committee:

Allow those who request, to serve a second term on the committee since one
term is generally required before members have a clear understanding of
catalogue requirements and retention periods as related to admissions.
