*if there has been a previously approved UCC/UGC/ECCC change since the last catalog year, please copy the approved
text from the proposal form into this field.
7. Justification for course change.
The public health program in the department of Health Sciences has determined through past
enrollment and student success data that the pre-requisite used for many of the upperdivision PH courses (HS 200 with a B or better) should be change to HS 200 with a C or better.
The previous requirement of an earned B was not necessary to promote or predict success in
future courses. The requirement was also creating advising complications when students
earn a C and needed to repeat a course that was not eligible for grade replacement.
Therefore we are removing a barrier to student progress while maintaining the standards of
the program.
8. Effective BEGINNING of what term and year?
See effective dates calendar.
