Bruce Abbott, Chair
DATE: November 5, 2003
SUBJ: Amendment to Academic Regulations, Section 10.2, Requirements for Degrees
DISPOSITION: To the presiding officer for implementation
Whereas, there has been some student confusion about the applicability of Section 10.2 of the Academic Regulations to pre-major program requirements,
And whereas, the intent of Section 10.2 has always been to include pre-major programs,
Therefore, EPC recommends that Section 10.2 of the Academic Regulations be amended as follows:
10.2
Requirements for degrees. Any student entering a degree or certificate
program degree, certificate, or pre-major program will be required
to fulfill the requirements in the Bulletin or its supplement or departmental
regulation current at the time of most recent entry or re-entry into that
program at IPFW, or with the written acknowledgment of the academic advisor,
the requirements in any subsequent Bulletin or supplement.
Any new
requirement for a degree or certificate program degree, certificate,
or pre-major program may not be applied to currently enrolled students in
these programs if it would increase the number of semester hours or the number
of semesters required for completion of the program.
The school/division/department committee in charge of curriculum matters may refuse to accept as credit toward graduation any course which was completed 10 or more years previously. Former students shall be notified of all such decisions upon reentering or when the credit is determined to be unacceptable.
