Attachment 3
MOTION TO THE CREDITS COMMITTEE
WHEREAS East Carolina University's policy on transfer credit admits of no special-case
exceptions to its prohibition on transferring credit for a course completed elsewhere
when the student previously was enrolled in the course at East Carolina University,
and

WHEREAS disallowing any possibility of granting exceptions to the above-mentioned
prohibition can create an unnecessary and unreasonable hardship on students who
withdraw from East Carolina University courses, and

WHEREAS, given the other specifics of East Carolina University's policy on transfer
credit (1988-1990 Undergraduate Catalogue, P. 45), allowing exceptions to the
above-mentioned prohibition would not result in a student's receiving credit for a
less academically rigorous course, and hence would not create an incentive to drop
difficult courses,

THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the oe Senate Credits Sai capi considerkeevising

enretted, and that the committee report its recommendations on this matter to the
on at the November 1990 meeting.
