This committee shall develop policy and changes in policy in matters related to instructional support services and facilities involved in delivering direct educational experiences. It shall conduct evaluations of instructional support services in order to make recommendations to improve such support and to make recommendations for corrective action, as necessary.
The committee shall develop and recommend to the Faculty Senate new policies or changes in policies relative standards to qualify students for the Dean’s List, degree with honors, and other appropriate recognitions of scholarly achievement, academic advising, grading structures, overloads, residence requirements, and other matters pertaining to academic standards.
In addition, it is empowered to make certain exceptions regarding academic matters when the undergraduate student, faculty member, or administrator involved suggest that unusual circumstances may make such exceptions proper. Possible cases include requests of undergraduate students to be admitted when admissibility to the University is questionable, to remain after being automatically dropped for academic reasons, to return after being dropped, to appeal a course grade, or to graduate without fulfilling residence requirements.
The committee shall be responsible for administration of the Interdisciplinary Studies major as described in the University Catalog. Changes to the major will be initiated by the committee, and will follow normally established procedures (e.g., submission to the Undergraduate Curriculum Committee).
