text from the proposal form into this field.
7. Justification for course change.
Revise course title to reflect current and appropriate focus (apparent typographical error
previously). Pre and co requisite changes to better align with the SLPA requirements; add
SST 251, 301, 302, 303, 304 as pre-requisites or co-requisites because these courses are taken
prior to or concurrently with SST 460. Remove SST 350 because it is not part of the SLPA
certification program.
8. Effective BEGINNING of what term and year?
Fall 2013
See effective dates calendar.
