JUSTIFICATION:
The Network Technology and Business
Multimedia (NTM) CIL classes and exams are a WSU general education
requirement for Computer Literacy.
The CIL general education requirement should
reflect the grading for all core and general education requirements at WSU.
We are asking that the NTM general education classes listed on page 2
be changed from a C- to a C to match the English, history, and math general
education grading requirement.
Copy the present program from the current
catalog and add the required changes (exactly as you wish them to appear in
the catalog). Use
strikeout (strikeout) when deleting items in the program and
highlight (highlight)
when adding items.
If multiple changes are being
proposed, please provide a summary. The
NTM Department policies will not change nor be affected by the change.

Office, MC 1033, and 22

The Network Technology and Business Multimedia Department offers testing
options for those who have transfer credit over the seven-year limit.

have on program requirements or enrollments in other departments including
the Bachelor of Integrated Studies Program.

The library CIL classes as of today offer a C- and Joan Hubbard agrees with
our decision to change the grade to a C.
Her note is attached

Hi
Carole,
As of now, the library classes require a C- as a passing grade, but we
absolutely agree with what you intend to do in the Fall regarding changing
all of the CIL classes to a C, rather than C-. As the time comes
closer, please let me know what, if any, paperwork you need from us.
Regards, Joan
(#2)
The IS&T department uses an 80% pass rate so this will not affect the IS&T
CIL requirement, which has a prerequisite of NTM 1700 or equivalent before
taking IS&T 2010
This will have no effect on other departments
