Revalidation
The School requires that certain courses that are over 10 years old must be revalidated. The policy on Revalidation was reviewed and it was agreed to go with a seven year limit. It was thought that it was now either 8 or 10 years. Mike will check on this and write the new policy in conjunction with the other Schools.
Approved: April 5, 1990
Upper Level Science Electives
A motion was made to have a School policy to state that our upper level science elective courses must be at the 200 level or higher and relate to both degrees.
It was seconded and voted unanimously.
Approved: October 24, 1991
Revalidation Courses
The School requires that certain courses that are over 10 years old must be revalidated. Revalidation will occur when:
- The course is part of the concentration for a major or minor in the School.
or
- The course is a prerequisite to courses in the School required as part of another program, e.g.: The general biology prerequisite for Anatomy and Physiology.
- A test designed to revalidate credit in the specific course.
- Students must receive 70% or higher to pass.
- The test may be repeated once, but may be taken only once in a given semester.
- Students who wish to revalidate course work must contact the School Dean one month prior to the registration date for the next semester.
- The School Dean will make arrangements with the appropriate faculty to provide the student with the revalidation test.
- A School form will be filled out and placed in the student's file. The form will include:
- date of test,
- pass or fail,
- recommendation for revalidation,
- signature of faculty assessing test, and School Dean,
- exams will be designed and graded by the appropriate faculty in the department.
- date of test,
- Students must receive 70% or higher to pass.
- Students who are unsuccessful in passing the revalidation exam must enroll in the course to receive credit.
Revalidation will not be required for courses in the department used to fulfill distribution and/or elective credits.
NOTE:
- Starting Spring, 1989, students who graduate with a major or minor in a School degree program must meet the revalidation criteria.
- Effective May 15, 1987, prerequisite courses will fall under this policy.
