MINUTES 
John Sohl: Moved to approve the minutes from the March 30, 2000 meeting.
Second: Judith Mitchell
Outcome: The minutes were approved.

FALL BREAK 
Jeremy Hall presented the Student Senate recommendation for a Fall Semester break to begin Fall Semester 2001-2002. The Executive Committee suggested that a proposed calendar be included with the recommendation. The recommendation needs to come from Kathleen Lukken, Winslow Hurst and a representative of the Student Senate. It was suggested that faculty and students be polled regarding the recommendation, a tentative calendar prepared, and the rational for the proposal. President’s Council will need to review the recommendation and discuss academic ramifications.

WSU ONLINE 
Peg Wherry presented the document "WSU Online Standards of Good Practice." This committee is composed of veteran faculty who have been teaching for three years online. Committee members include: William Clapp, Betty Damask-Bembenek, Charles Davidson, Tom Day, Bruce Handley, Levi Peterson, Prasanna Reddy, and Gene Sessions. Tamara Aird and Scott Allen are WSU online staff.

The document was prepared to give guidelines to faculty who will be teaching online. It was also prepared for department chairs and deans so that when academic departments review and verify the academic credibility of their online courses, there is some framework from which to do the review.

The Executive Committee suggested several revision for the "WSU Online Standards of Good Practice" document. It was suggested that the document be entitled "guidelines" rather than "standards." Sally Shigley and John Sohl were asked to work with the committee on making revisions to the document. These standards can begin to be applied as instructions for online course development. The document will be presented to the Faculty Senate fall semester 2000.

Gary Godfrey, Chair of the Research, Scholarship, and Professional Growth Committee, presented the accomplishments of the committee.

ASSA 
Georgine Bills, Chair of the Admissions, Standards, and Student Affairs Committee.

Additional Charge: Credit by CLEP, Special Examination, and Petition
Recommendation:
1) The committee has fully explored and discussed the current policy and does not recommend any changes at this time; and

2) The committee recommends the language in the catalog (which describes these processes for students) should be revised and enhanced so students will be informed that "W" precludes their opportunity to obtain credit but that courses which are dropped within the first three weeks of the semester have no transcript entry and therefore are within the policy.

Additional Charge: Disclosure of Services for Students with Disabilities
Recommendation:
1) The committee endorses the two-sentence statement (p.4 of the SSD booklet, "Any student requiring accommodations or services due to a disability must contact Services for Students with Disabilities [SSD] in room 181 of the Student Service Center. SSD can also arrange to provide course materials in alternative formats if necessary.") suggested by the office of Services for Students with Disabilities for inclusion on course syllabi; and

2) The committee recommends a similar statement be included in the main body of information provided in the "header" of the catalog section "Student Affairs Services, and Information (p. 22)

MOTION 
John Sohl: Moved to forward to the Faculty Senate for the April 20, 2000 meeting the recommendations from the ASSA Committee for Credit by CLEP, Special Examination, and Petition, and the disclosure of Services for Students with Disabilities.
Second: Alden Talbot
Outcome: The motion passed unanimously.

Charge 6: Review policies for grade changes, late registration, late withdrawals, etc. and provide training for policy enforcement and consistency.

Following are proposed changes, rearrangements, and restructurings for various sections in the PPM dealing with matters of registering and withdrawing from classes:

1. Update PPM 6-3 - Registration in conformity with semester credit hour levels. (Reference: General Catalogue, 1999-2000, pg. 20). Refine some wording.

2. Add a new paragraph to PPM 6-3 Registration governing registration for courses after the beginning of class work.

3. Remove Section 6-17a — Student Registration and Class Load from its current position under Student Affairs and add it to 6-3 — Registration, where it more properly belongs.

4. Revise this new section on student registration and class load (now Section 6-3.III) to clarify the policy for summer registration and to specify the appeals procedure for overload registration

5. Collect policies on Withdrawal from Courses (4-19h - Withdrawal from Individual Classes and 6-7 - Withdrawal from the University) and place them together in the currently empty section 6-4. In this manner, "Registration" and "Withdrawal" will be conveniently located side by side. Refine some wording for clarity and consistency with General Catalogue.

6. Remove the policy on Academic Renewal from Section 4-19 and put it on its own in Section 4-20, currently empty.

The Executive Committee suggested that the percentages listed in item #5, PPM 6-4, B, be listed in weeks for fall and spring semesters and as a percentage for summer term.

PPM 6-4, B. No entry will appear on the transcripts of those students who drop individual classes courses during the first 30% of the term three weeks of fall or spring semester, or during the first 20% of summer term. A "W" grade will appear on the transcripts of students who withdraw from individual classes courses during the period between 30% and 60% of the term of the fourth to the eighth weeks of fall or spring semester, or during 21% to 53% of summer term.

These changes will be reflected in the information sent to Faculty Senate members.

MOTION 
John Sohl: Moved to forward to the Faculty Senate for the April 20, 2000 meeting the above proposed changes for section 6 and section 4 of the PPM.
