Academic Deans Council Minutes : May 09, 1972

Abstract

Dr. Edgar indicated that he received complaints from three students whose names were not on the tentative June graduation list despite the fact that they had paid the graduation fee. A brief discussion ensued with regard to conditions under which approval would be given to students to allow them to transfer credit to this University if these hours were within the last 45 hours. The "Add-Drop" form (Change of Registration form) did not provide a copy for the advisor or dean. Dean Aurand reported that the School of Music proposal for "credit by exam" (without tuition payment) was discussed with President Pugsley. In regard to Vice-Chancellor Lerner's article "Definition of Associate Degree," the deans felt that the requirement of "12 q.h. in laboratory science" be modified to exclude the word "laboratory" (to be consistent with our general university requirements). Dr. Edgar pointed out that President Pugsley's reply to Professor Dykema regarding the offer of the Faculty Affairs Committee to suggest guidelines for possible faculty cutbacks contained a statement that the Deans Council would be asked for input in this regard. Dean Miller brought up a difficulty that prevented anyone from taking a graduate course without being formally admitted to the graduate school. Dean Aurand indicated that a problem existed in getting certain faculty approved for "Associate membership on the Graduate Faculty."
