Academic Deans Council Minutes : February 27, 1968

Abstract

The meeting discussed issues with registration and Dean Coffield made the following points: 1. The deans will take much of the responsibility of seeing that their departments adhere to the rules which will be set up. 2. On the first day of classes, each instructor will have a roster. If the student is not on the roster or does not have an admit card, he does not belong in the class. 3. Department heads and deans must notify the Registrar if a class has been canceled. 4. No instructor is to move his class to another room until such move has be approved by Mr. Leonelli the Physical Plant Director. 5. There is no definite control of class shrinkage. Dean Dykema suggested the limit for a class should be set at several higher than the class will actually take so as to account for suspensions and drop-outs. 6. All deans must look at class shrinkage and make an estimate. 7. Changes in registration are allowed with WP up until 4 weeks, but it is possible to drop a class at any time. Students may drop classes the first week of class with no penalty.
