College of Arts and Sciences
BIO 110: Introductory Biology I prereq/coreq revision
Motion to approve (Motion passes; 6-0-0)
Comment: Paperwork should be edited so that all biology minors should reflect this change
as well.
PHY 380: Introduction to Computational Physics new course proposal
Comment: The paperwork reflects that this course is available for a grade and “credit/no
credit.” These are either/or options in Banner, so you cannot have a class that is actually
both. Need to decide which would be appropriate for this class.
Motion to approve with comment: (Motion passes; 6-0-0)
PSY 370: Applied Behavior Analysis for Children with Autism new course proposal
PSY 371: Applied Behavior Analysis for Children with Autism Lab Experience new course
proposal
PSY 374: Applied Behavior Analysis Field Experience new course proposal
Motion to approve these courses (PSY 370, 371, and 374) as a package (Motion passes;
6-0-0)
PSYD Clinical Psychology Doctoral Program program revision
Motion to approve (Motion passes; 6-0-0)

OCTH 5xx: Clinical and Professional Reasoning in Occupational Therapy new course proposal
OCTH 5xx: Therapeutic Relationship Skills in the Occupational Therapy Profession new
course proposal
OCTH 6xx: Current Issues in Occupational Therapy new course proposal
Comment: Program of study not attached so that we may see where these courses fit into
the program as a whole
Motion to approve with comment (Motion passes; 6-0-0)
College of Technology (response date May 6)
LEGL 213: Advanced Spreadsheet Applications new course proposal
Comment: Question 8 on the form does not list the course number that should be
considered a prerequisite course (only the subject code is listed). Also, the paperwork
reflects that this course is available for a grade and “credit/no credit.” These are either/or
options in Banner, so you cannot have a class that is actually both. Need to decide which
would be appropriate for this class. Lastly, we suggest that you change the title of the
course to reflect that it is for the paralegal profession.
Motion to approve with comments (Motion passes; 6-0-0)
Meeting adjourned by Chair Amy Johnson at 4:30pm.
