Action on Minutes
Minutes from the Eighth Meeting, dated February 8, 2005, were approved as presented.
ACCY 310
The committee approved Accountancy’s request to separate the lecture and lab in ACCY
310 (currently a four-hour course). This results in a three-hour lecture (ACCY 310A) and a
one-hour lab (ACCY 310S). (See pages 1-2 of 3)
OMIS 310X
As a result of the change in ACCY 310, the committee approved the OMIS Department
proposal to delete OMIS 310X. The necessity of crosslisting the course in the OMIS
Department no longer exists. (See page 3 of 3)
MKTG Items
Revisions to graduate marketing courses were approved. (See pages 2-3 of 3)
Continuation of
Retention Policies
It was brought to the committee’s attention that the Marketing Department (at its February
8, 2005 curriculum committee meeting) reviewed its retention policy in compliance with
Program Review mandate. Based on current resources and effectiveness of the retention
policy, the department unanimously approved continuing its retention requirements.
Likewise, the Department of Finance (at its January 6, 2005 curriculum committee
meeting) endorsed the continuation of the limited retention policies for the finance major.
Academic Compliance/
Athletics
An update was provided regarding compliance requirements with respect to athletes.
Faculty/staff members seeking additional information on this topic are encouraged to
contact the Athletics Department Compliance Officer.

611. ADVANCED ACCOUNTING INFORMATION SYSTEMS (3). … PRQ: ACCY 310 ACCY
310A and ACCY 310S both with at least a C or consent of department.
Rationale: Currently ACCY 310 is taught as a four hour class that consists of three hours of lecture and one hour of lab.
This proposal breaks the lab into a separate course. This configuration:
1) Provides more focus of educational directives (lecture time was often used to cover lab questions);
2) Allows for independent evaluation of lecture material in ACCY 310A and skills and techniques in ACCY 310S which
better reflects educational objectives of the curriculum;
3) Provides more consistency in lab material (a lab coordinator will be assigned to ensure consistency of material);
4) Provides more flexibility of registration for students (students may sign up for any combination of lab and lecture.
Currently lectures are tied to specific labs).
Additionally, course copy was modified to reflect changes in course material.
