ACTION

• Approved minutes of March 23, 2004 meeting with correction. The following sentence from the March 23, 2004 minutes will be amended by adding the phrase that is indicated in bold: “After discussing the dates currently used in allowing withdrawals (for example, that students are allowed an “automaticW” roughly through the first half of a semester or term), Committee members (with two exceptions) found these dates appropriate.”
• Affirmed the College’s time frame policy on grade changes: grades will not be changed when more than a year has elapsed from the end of the semester in which the course was initially taken. (Grades of incomplete are excluded from this policy.)

DISCUSSION

• Minutes The minutes of the March 23, 2004 meeting were approved with correction.
• Updates Dean Larson provided the Committee with updated information regarding the Global Village, Computer Science and the proposed move to the School of Informatics, the Senior Year Task Force, math course articulations between IUB and Ivy Tech State College Bloomington, and PeopleSoft implementation issues and challenges.
• Grade Change Time Frame Policy The Committee discussed and then affirmed the College policy that grades will not be changed when more than a year has elapsed from the end of the semester in which the course was initially taken. Grades of incomplete are excluded from this time frame policy. Dean Larson will send a Frequently Asked Questions page to faculty regarding grades and other policies early in the fall 2004 semester to help clarify these issues for faculty members.
• Overlap Issues Discussion of this issue was continued from the last meeting with additional information provided on policies at other CIC institutions. The committee defined problem areas that will need decisions about appropriate overlap. A proposal based on those considerations will be put forth in fall 2004 for CUE discussion and decision.
