- L.

Curriculum changes made after February 23, 2006 will be added to the online catalog and will be marked as “update” with the effective date of the change.
- D. Coltraine conveyed a request from the College of Education concerning what was characterized in the request as the inadvertent deletion of SPED 4010 from the catalog. Committee decided that since the catalog minutes indicated that the course was supposed to be deleted and such minutes had already been approved by the Chancellor and unfortunately the changes have already been incorporated into the 2005-2006 Course Catalog. Therefore, the College of Education will need to submit a new course proposal if they want to have the course reinstated.
The catalog minutes submitted by the unit were altered to remove two occurrences of SPED 4010 since the course was not in the catalog and we did not receive a course proposal. The UCC Chair will notify the unit of these changes and procedures for re-instating the course.
