- VP of Instruction: Veronique Tran. Dr. Tran will be sending out an email with a Pathway update. It has been decided that we will have a mandatory First Year Experience course at 0-credit hours. This is for all first-year students starting Fall 2020. We will still have the EDUC 1200 (2 credit hour) course only for Dual Credit, Impact and Stewart Career because in order to offer it as dual credit it has to carry college credit. There will be a “First Year Experience” Committee who will help to develop curriculum for the 0-credit hour course. Valerie Holland will Chair the Committee. We are going to have two working groups “Enter the Path” that Scott Bennett is going to Chair and “Stay on the Path” that Victoria Marron is going Chair. Since the course will be mandatory, students will be able to use Financial Aid. There will no longer be an LSSS course.
The target is to get everything to CAAC in November, but some teams may need more time. It may flow over to February. CAAC agreed to have a Consent Agenda which only needs deliberation.
General Studies students must declare a major by 12 semester credit hours. Ray Whitlow is going to Chair a committee to look at Interdisciplinary Studies Associate of Arts.
Dr. Combs shared an annalist of the program completions for the certificates and degrees. Dr. Tran will share it with the Division Chairs.
