
Chair DeBoer met with ECOS and discussed the Dual Credit Guidelines. ECOS would like the policy to be simplified in favor of a modified one page document.
The draft also received quite a lot of additional feedback from the OCHE Dual
Enrollment Coordinator, Amy Williams. She wanted the document to be more administrative. OCHE is also planning to change some content in their guidelines and create a policy manual.
ASCRC disagrees with ECOS and is in favor of the longer document that involved quite a lot of input with those currently involved with overseeing the program at Missoula College. There is good reason for the document to be specific.

ASCRC briefly discussed the proposal for a Hospitality Management Certificate.
Chair DeBoer will follow-up with the requestor regarding the following items: o The courses should use the HTR (Hospitality, Tourism, and Recreation) rubric currently in the CCN matrix o Course forms are needed for the new courses o Justification for the 180 hours of internship is needed. Will the internship be paid? Will need to check with Academic Enrichment to see whether there is a precedent for this many hours. This is taken in the third semester, but is shown in the second semester on the table in the proposal. o PSYX 100 and M 115 don’t seem to be necessary skills for the certificate o The requestors could consider allowing the Principles of Accounting 201 and 202 as an option

o Certificates under 30 credits do not require Board of Regents approval

Suggested revisions to Policy 201.60 Effective Date of Approval were considered.
The committee agreed that only new degrees offered by Missoula College, new certificates, new minors, and new options (to existing majors) should be an exception to the following fall rule.
Professor Vonessen will revise the draft for vote at the next meeting.
With regard to added general education designations the Graduation Appeals
Committee will consider maintaining a precedent list of courses that are approved, but are already in the schedule without the designation. Students wishing to appeal would need to complete an appeal form, but not the justification narrative.

Incomplete grade policy was revised with the following language:
The instructor sets the conditions for the completion of the course work, and communicates them to the departmental office.

ASCRC approved the following policy to address transfer issues from quarters to semesters.
In order to determine if transfer course work satisfies General Education requirements, the credits for each course are rounded. For example, if a student transfers in two N-courses each worth 2.66 credits, each course counts as 3 Ncredits towards the Group XI requirement. On the other hand, an L-course worth
2.49 credits does not satisfy the Group V requirement of 3 L-credits.

The Experimental Course list and Dormant Course list will be sent to members to review. The courses on the list will be removed from the catalog.

The following paragraph in the General Education for Transfer Students section of the catalog will be removed because it is outdated.
Students governed by the 2006-2007 catalog or later catalogs must earn a traditional letter grade of C- or better in courses used to satisfy General Education
(except English composition and the Mathematical Literacy course must be a C or better). Students enrolled in a post-secondary institution prior to autumn 2006 may be eligible to choose an earlier governing catalog. Refer to the Governing
Catalog information in the previous section. See index.

ASCRC will not meet next week. Members were encouraged to bring any catalog language that needed to be clarified forward for consideration.
The meeting was adjourned at 3:34 p.m.
