5. Old Business
It was recommended that UCC policies and the curriculum
preparation guide be placed on the Web.
This would allow departments to access directions on how to fill out the LX
forms when the department is in the process of completing the LX forms.
It was suggested that samples of completed LX forms be placed on the Web
as well for extra assistance.
The
Undergraduate Curriculum Committee has no special charge this year.
UCC will continue to operate as it has been.
