·      Which courses are applicable to the program?

·      Will it include transfer courses only?

·      How to indicate the honors courses?

·      The transcript needs to indicate the honors courses.

·      Workload issues?

·      Articulation concerns with the UC and the consistency of the content.

·      Need contract between the instructor and student indicating the criteria.

 

Once CRC has decided on the needs/requirements for the Honors Program, it will be forwarded to MC Academic Senate for approval.

 

b.   Course Revision Form Change – All changes made on curriculum forms/manual will be submitted to MC Academic Senate for approval.

 

c.   ENGL*075 and BUS*078C – Dianne McKay inform CRC the overlapping issue was brought to the MC Academic Senate for discussion.  CRC decided unanimously that if Academic Senate wants to be involved, their role is to question how the process took place and not the final outcome decided by CRC.  It was pointed out that the issue between ENGL*075 and BUS*078C spanned over a 3-week period, where both sides were given many opportunities to address there case and concerns.   This overlapping discussion was redundant and should have not be brought to the MC Academic Senate.
