| Decision Date: | 2010-03-02 |
| Decision: | The committee voted to forward its recommendations to the SEC for consideration. |
| Actions: | Over the past two years, the APAS Committee researched and revised the University's policy on resident credit/residency requirements. The 2009-2010 APAS Committee submitted a proposal to make changes to the UMCP Policy III-7.00(A) UMCP DEGREE REQUIREMENTS in November 2009. The Senate approved this proposal on November 12, 2009, and it was approved by the President on November 19, 2009. In February 2010, the committee identified a redundant statement using the old language in a second policy, III-6.00(A) UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND POLICIES CONCERNING ACADEMIC TRANSCRIPTS AND CALCULATION OF GRADE POINT AVERAGE. At its meeting on March 2, 2010, the APAS Committee voted unanimously to recommend removal of the first paragraph from III-6.00(A) UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND POLICIES CONCERNING ACADEMIC TRANSCRIPTS AND CALCULATION OF GRADE POINT AVERAGE and replacement with a reference statement to the updated policy text. While considering this recommendation, the committee consulted with representatives of the Office of Undergraduate Studies and the President's Legal Office. |
