Approval
of Minutes. The minutes of
the regular meeting on November 2, 2004, were approved as published.
Report
of the Registration, Calendar and Scheduling Committee. Michael
George presented two proposals.
The committee asked that the
2005-2006 academic calendar be reconsidered. The change proposed was driven by the
implementation of the MyMav Student Information system. The proposal is to change the date Current
and former student registration begins for Maymester
& Summer from April 3 to April 17. A
motion was made and seconded to accept the amendment to the 2005-2006 academic calendar. The motion
was approved unanimously.
For the 2006-2007 academic calendar, the committee explored the issues of delaying the
start of the fall semester a week to give two weeks after Thanksgiving before
the last day of class and to reinstate Good Friday as a holiday in the spring
semester.
The Regents Rules and Regulations
dictate to the components what the holiday schedule is. To accommodate Good Friday as a holiday, one
of the optional holidays (winter holidays) would have to be deleted. The other concern was that if the university
honored Good Friday, there would be other religious holidays that would have to
be considered as well. The committee
recommends not scheduling Good Friday as a holiday.
Concerning the start date, the
current formula is that the first day of the fall semester starts on the fourth
Monday of August and that dictates the calendar for the remainder of the
year. If the start date is moved too far
into August, it raises contractual issues with faculty appointments. There is also the concern of the dates being
too far apart from the Arlington
Independent School
District calendar. If the date was delayed, there would a major
overlap of semesters. Winter session
starts the Monday after the end of the fall semester. The committee, therefore, recommends the
calendar attached below be adopted as originally proposed in November. A motion was made and seconded to adopt the
2006-2007 academic calendar as originally
proposed. The motion was approved
unanimously.

Report
of the Academic Standards Committee. David Gray presented two
proposals.
After much discussion, a motion
was made and seconded to approve the following amended proposal on Schedule
Changes. The motion passed unanimously.
I. Schedule Changes (Add/Drop)
A.Proposed Rule
Effective Fall
2006 adds and drops may be made through late registration either by SAM, eSAM,
or in person in the academic department offering the course. Drops may continue in person until a point in
time two-thirds of the way through the semester, session, or specific course
offering period. Students are
responsible for adhering to the following regulations concerning adds and
drops.
- A
student may not add a course after the end of the late registration
period.
- No
grade is posted if a student drops a course before the Census Date of that
semester.
- A
student entering the University for the first time in Fall 2006, or
thereafter, may accrue no more than a total of 15 semester credit-hours of
coursework with a grade of “W” during his or her enrollment at the
University.
- A
student may drop a course with a grade of “W” until the two-thirds point
of the semester, session, or course offering period. A student may drop a course after that
point only upon approval of the appropriate official.
- Exceptions
to this policy may be entertained because of extraordinary non-academic
circumstances. Under such
circumstances, approval must be received from the instructor, department
chair, dean, and the Office of the Provost.
- Students
wanting to drop all courses for which they are enrolled must withdraw from
the University. (Students should
follow the procedure in the Withdrawals section.)
·Exceptions
to this policy may be entertained because of extraordinary non-academic
circumstances. Under such circumstances,
approval must be received from the instructor, department chair, dean, and the
Office of the Provost.
B.Current Rule
Adds and drops may be made during late registration either
by SAM, by the Web or in person in the academic department offering the
course. Drops may continue in person
through the 12th week of class.
Students are responsible for adhering to the following regulations
concerning adds and drops. These rules
apply to regular semesters and to equivalent time limits in summer sessions as
noted on the summer session calendar.
- A
student may not add a course after the end of late registration.
- No
grade is given if a student drops a course before the Census Date of that
semester.
- A
student may drop a course with a grade of W during the first six weeks of
class.
- From
the seventh week of class through the 12th week of class, a
student may drop a course with a grade of W if passing or a grade of F if
failing.
- A
student may not drop a course after the 12th week of class.
- The
dean of the college or school in which the student is majoring may require
a student to drop a course at any time upon the recommendation of the
instructor and the concurrence of the department chair.
- Students
wanting to drop all courses for which they are enrolled must withdraw from
the University. Students should
follow the procedure below in the Withdrawals section.
David Gray presented the second
proposal on Grade Exclusion. After much
discussion, a motion was made and seconded to table the Grade Exclusion
proposal. The motion failed.
After further discussion, a motion
was made and seconded to approve the amended proposal listed below. The motion passed with 22 for and 4 opposed.
II. Grade Exclusion
A. Proposed
Rule
An undergraduate student, entering UTA for the first time in
Fall 2006 or thereafter, may elect to have grades of
“D” or “F” for courses taken during his/her first 30 semester credit hours at
UTA excluded from the undergraduate cumulative GPA calculation. This action will be subject to the following
conditions:
1.1. This rule may be applied to a maximum of three – 1000 or 2000 level courses. Of the courses excluded, no more than one may
be at the 3000 or higher level.
2.
Exclusion of a grade removes course credit but the course hours will still be
counted as attempted (towards the floating 45 hour policy and the two attempt
rules, etc.)
3. This rule
does not apply to courses in which the grades of D or F resulted from
disciplinary action.
4. This rule
applies only to courses taken at this university. An excluded course may be repeated for credit
only at this university, unless approved by the student’s dean.
5. Once a
course has been excluded, a student may not later have the exclusion removed.
6. Grade
exclusion may only be used for a first D or F in a course.
7. Excluded
grades will be included in a calculation of GPA for Latin Honors.
8. Students
seeking grade exclusion must receive counseling from the following as
appropriate:
a. Academic Advisor to determine effect on
completion of degree requirements and probation requirements.
b. Financial Aid Office if receiving a scholarship or
financial aid administered by that office.
c. Athletic Department if a student
athlete.
d. International Office if an
international student.
Grade exclusion requests must be
done using a grade exclusion form. The
request must be approved by the academic dean.
Individual colleges and schools may limit this policy.
B. Proposed Companion Rule
Dealing with Repeatability
Undergraduate students who have
received a grade of “F” in a course at this university may repeat the course
for credit. Undergraduate students who
have received a grade of “D” in a course at this university may repeat the
course for credit only upon the recommendation of the authorized representative
of the dean or director of their enrollment unit. Additional courses may be repeated if
approved and determined to be essential for maintaining the academic integrity
of a student’s degree program. The
semester credit hours for a repeated course shall in no case be counted more
than once in meeting graduation requirements.
When a student repeats a course, both grades appear on the student’s
record and both are used in computing the grade point average. Note:
This rule does not apply to Graduate students enrolled in either
undergraduate and/or graduate courses.
C. Current Rule
Upon receiving a grade of D or F
in a course, a student may, after filing intent to do so, replace the grade by
repeating the course. The second grade
earned, whether higher or lower, will be used in calculating the grade point
average unless the second grade is a W.
This policy applies only the second time a course is attempted. Both grades received will be shown on the
student’s transcript. This policy will
apply to a maximum of 10 credit hours at U.T. Arlington. Students must file their intention to replace
a grade with the registrar by the Census Date of the semester in which the
student is repeating the course. All
withdrawals after the Census Date will be considered an attempt, and the
initial grade will be used. This policy
will not apply to courses that may be repeated for credit or to courses taken
on a pass/fail basis. This policy is not
applicable to Nursing and Graduate students and is not retroactive in that a
grade in a course taken prior to adoption may be replaced, but a grade earned
in a course prior to adoption (fall 1995) may not be used as a replacement. Individual colleges and schools may limit
this policy. Students may not apply this
policy to grades of D or F which result from disciplinary action.

awards credit for successful performance in the International Baccalaureate
(IB) program. This program, a rigorous
pre-university course of study, is offered through certain high schools. Starting with the 2005-2006 academic year,
any student admitted to the University
of Texas at Arlington may earn college credit for IB work
in one of two ways:
1. UTA will award 24
credit hours to students who earn the IB diploma with a minimum score on each
exam of four (4) and an overall score of 24 or higher. The Office of Assessment Services will award
credit for the appropriate courses based on IB courses completed and the IB
test scores. Students earning an IB
Diploma with overall scores higher than 24 and individual test scores of at
least 4, may receive additional course credit as
determined by the Office of Assessment Services.
2. For students who
either do not earn the IB diploma or earn an IB diploma but do not achieve the
minimum requirements above, UTA will award course credit following the Office of
Assessment’s published IB equivalency table in effect at the time the student
completed the IB tests.
Subject to the minimum exam-score levels set forth above,
the standards for the awarding of course credit (including determining what
thresholds must be met, for which courses credit shall be provided, etc.) shall
be determined by Office of Assessment following the recommendations from the
appropriate academic departments . Any
credit granted under this policy that does not receive corresponding course
credit shall be treated by UTA as elective credit.
No tuition will be charged to the student for credit hours
earned under this IB policy, and no grades will be granted for any course
credit earned as a result of IB performance.
Students cannot earn credit for AP and IB exams on the same topic. Further, UTA does not provide credit for
overlapping courses; and no credit shall be awarded or accepted in transfer
that duplicates other credit being awarded or accepted in transfer.

Dana Dunn said a member of the academic standards committee
has expressed interest in looking at proposed class schedule times. One schedule in particular offers
Monday-Thursday and Tuesday-Friday courses, each an hour and twenty minutes,
and using Wednesday for predominantly three-hour course blocks. She would like to put together a task which
would have at least one representative from each college or school to explore
the options. Anyone interested in
serving on the task force was asked to contact her.
Adjournment. The
meeting adjourned at 3:58 p.m.
