Academic misconduct

During this time, the student withdrew from the course following the regular schedule of dropping a class. Dr. Cho made the motion to approve the statement and Dr. Faw seconded the motion. Discussion was held by the committee. The motion was approved. This statement will be added to the next issue of the undergraduate catalog.
A-100 guideline changes (AD Program)
Ms. Wheatley recognized Prof. Tolbert. Prof. Tolbert explained that the A-100 guidelines are for the Academic Development Program. Prior to this semester if a student failed an ADP course, he/she was placed on academic probation. If the student failed the second attempt of the course, the student was suspended from the University. The guideline now simply states "There is no probation or suspension." Students must complete the ADP courses in their first sixty hours. These courses do not count for graduation but they do count toward retention. Discussion was held by the committee. No action needed to be taken by the committee.
