The meeting
was called to order at 10:00 am in Rawl 142 by Shanan
Gibson. Rodney Roberts moved (Kathleen
Row seconded) approval of the October 15, 2008 minutes as written. Motion passed. Gibson reminded the group that handouts
distributed via email relating to future meetings should be printed and brought
to the meetings by individual members. These handouts will no longer be
provided in print format by the chair.
Gibson
distributed handouts related to agenda items.
The committee revisited the deadline for submitting appeals based on a
request from the Student Academic Appellate Committee. Gibson asked
The
committee next discussed changing the date in which the late payment fee is
applied based on the request from Student Financial Services.
In
conjunction with the previous discussion, Gibson asked the committee to review
the ECU drop dates based on the relevancy to other UNC schools referring to the
distributed handout with comparison of schools in ’07 and ’08. Crammer noted that there is a committee
responsible for reviewing and making changes for drop dates. The committee proposed that this subject be
given to Linda Wolfe for consideration by the Academic Standards Committee.
A copy of
the fall 2008 and spring 2009 Final Exam Schedule was distributed by Crammer
for discussion of the Common Exam schedule.
The committee revisited this schedule in order to review the schedule to
avoid overlapping exam schedules. Once
again, a discussion followed concerning the common exam schedule and possible
conflicts with 5:00 pm classes. Gibson noted the four possible solutions
discussed at the October 15th meeting as follows: 1) educate
departments on the examination schedule referring to it as class scheduling is
done, 2) request that Banner set up class schedules in order to avoid conflicts
when possible, 3) move common examination schedules to a 7:30-10:00 time period
instead of the current 5:00-7:30, and 4) change common examination schedules to
a Saturday schedule.
The next
meeting will be in January. Date and
time will be determined based on spring semester schedules. Gibson will send out time and date. The meeting will approve the minutes, hear
Meeting
adjourned at 11:05 am.
