COMMITTEE:		Admissions and Recruitment

MEETING DATE:  	2/2/98		

PERSON PRESIDING:	John Cope

ACTIONS OF MEETING

Description of action:
Approval of minutes of 12/1/97.

Description of action:
Discussion of Administrative Memorandum 379, "Policy 
Regarding Uniform UNC Admissions Requirements for Non-
public School Students."  John Cope noted that the last 
sentence,  "Whenever a student applies from a high school 
where class rank or grade point average is not available or 
readily assessable, the applicant is encouraged to submit 
supplemental test scores."  He said that the wording in the 
previous paragraph leaves the choice of "which supplemental 
scores" to submit up to the applicant.

Tom Powell said that this does not specify which (italics 
original) supplemental test scores.  An applicant may submit 
scores, but if we don't have enough information from them to 
decide whether we should accept the applicant, we can ask 
them to submit additional information.  We cannot subject an 
applicant to capricious or arbitrary scores that we would not 
ask of anyone else.  Our standard operating procedure is to 
request scores from standard tests. 

Follow-up action required:
No further action was considered necessary.

Description of action:
Discussion of General Administration's memorandum on
transfer of credit between institutions, January 1, 1997.  John 
Cope said that this was nothing that we haven't already dealt 
with.  He called for comments.   There were none.

Follow-up action required:
No further action was considered necessary.

Description of action:
Discussion of international student admissions and recruitment. 
Umesh Gulati said that not much has been done until now for 
recruiting international students, but that this effort and 
assistance with immigration matters has been transferred to the 
Office of International Affairs.  He said that there are more 
efforts forthcoming in this matter and that we should invite the 
Director of International Affairs to tell us more in detail about 
what he is doing and where we are going.

Follow-up action required:
John Cope said that we would invite the director to a future 
meeting.

NEXT MEETING:	March 2, 1998

ITEMS TO BE DISCUSSED:	
Director of International Affairs:  recruitment and admission of 
international students.
