11. BUSINESS

A. Action: New Prefix MAT – Janet Lyle Janet Lyle stated that they are asking for this new prefix so that students can identify

the credit course separate from the noncredit course, since they plan to offer both.

Dee Near inquired if EDU-112B will be switching over to the MAT prefix. Several people said no. Patrick Mitchell stated that EDU-112 series is used for various tutorials on campus. The MAT prefix will be used for noncredit mathematic instruction.

Approve New MAT Prefix.

M: P. Mitchell S: T. McDonald Y: 15 N: 0 A: 0

B. Information: Update on Program Investigations

Julie Clark stated that since our last Curriculum Committee meeting we have had one meeting for the Addiction Studies program Investigation. At that meeting the committee voted to recommend to the senate to discontinue the program, once all the changes to Human Services can be implemented.

Julie Clark informed everyone that a Program Investigation does not mean we are necessarily going to eliminate a program. In talking with one of the Deans they thought that since they are going to create a 2 course local certificate and eliminate the current associate’s degree and certificate that they did not have to go through a Program Investigation. Since this will result in the elimination of courses this is required to go through a Program Investigation.


Page 13 of 30

C. Discussion: Credit by Exam Senate Resolution Dee Near presented the senate resolution and the changes that need to be made to

the Academic Procedure 4235. Dee Near stated that item number 2 may need to change since it states the Curriculum Committee with be approving the Credit by Exam list on a semester by semester basis.

Dee Sigismond stated that the resolution will need to change to state the “Academic Senate recommends the following revisions to AP 4235 …” instead of “Academic Senate adopt the following revisions to AP 4235 …” Once this gets approved by Senate, Dee Sigismond would take this to College Council and then to the Board of Trustees for information before it can be implemented.

Diane Spork stated that the 2+2 Articulation agreements come in all the time, which might explain the semester by semester basis for the Curriculum Committee to approve.

Patrick Mitchell recommended that under item number 2 it stated “Replace Academic Senate Resolution 12-08 ...” instead of “Revise Academic Senate Resolution 12-08 …”

Carolyn Kreide inquired on when this would go into effect. Dee Near stated this would not go into effect until next school year, due to the approval process for these changes.

D. Discussion: Review of Associate GE Breath if Denied CSU-GE/IGETC Breadth

Dee Near suggested that we consider taking a second look at the courses in our local Associate Degree Breadth Requirements if denied CSU-GE Breadth or IGETC Breadth. Julie Clark stated that we get these results typically around the first of April and we could add a discussion topic about the results on an agenda in late April or early May.

Julie Clark stated that at some schools when a course gets modified it gets resubmitted for CSU-GE and IGETC Breadth. Currently we do not have a process in place for that.

Dee Near stated that she thought that courses get resubmitted for articulation when ever it gets modified. Lou Ferguson stated that courses do get resubmitted for articulation for transfer. Julie Clark stated that we do not take it a step further to have the courses resubmitted for CSU-GE and IGETC Breadth. One example is with the Art courses being approved for CSU-GE probably in the 90’s but they were never resubmitted after that.

Dee Near suggested adding a link to the CSU-GE and IGETC Breadth Handbook on CurricUNET.

10. COMMITTTEE REPORTS A. Articulation Officer – Lou Ferguson

Lou Ferguson reported that she has resubmitted the courses that requested a second submission to UC-TCA.

indicate 3-5 elective units needed, please recalculate and revise where needed. 5. Narrative – Item 1 Goals & Objectives – This item needs to list the goals and objectives,

identify the baccalaureate degree programs for which students will be prepared to enter at a CSU and include the primary focus of the law. Example statement, ‘The Associate in Arts in Kinesiology for Transfer degree is designed to prepare students for a seamless transfer into the CSU system to complete a baccalaureate degree in Kinesiology or similar major… Upon completion of the AA-T in Kinesiology, students will/ be able to……(list goals & objectives &/or SLOs).

6. Narrative – Item 2 Catalog Description – is missing the purpose of the SB1440 law, ‘The Associate in Arts in Studio Arts for Transfer degree is designed to prepare students for a seamless transfer into the CSU system to complete a baccalaureate degree in Studio Arts or similar major.’

7. Narrative – Item 3 Program Requirements (PR) – update the elective units in PR summary table to match the TMC Template.

Academic Senate of

MERCED COLLEGE

3600 M Street Merced, CA 95348-2898

Telephone (209) 384-6095

RESOLUTION

First Reading:

Second Reading/Action (Date): Pass/Fail

RESOLUTION NO.

Subject: Credit By Exam

Mover: Division/Area:

Seconder: Division/Area:

Whereas, the Merced College Academic Senate resolution 12-08 and Merced College AP 4235

were written to establish procedures for administration of Credit By Exam by faculty and for

students at Merced College, and

Whereas, gaps in our wording for Credit by Exam guidelines were identified by the Curriculum

Task Force on Credit by Exam in Spring, 2014 . and

Whereas, the Academic Senate Paper “Awarding Credit where Credit is Due” states:

“Per Title 5 the assessment used must measure mastery of content as set forth in the

Course Outline of Record, so discipline faculty should come to consensus about whether

or not to allow students to earn CBE for a course and the means of assessment. In other

words, the nature and content of the assessment used cannot be specific to an individual

instructor teaching a particular section of a course.” (page 13)

Therefore be it resolved, that the Merced College Academic Senate recommends the following

revisions to AP 4235

a. No credit by examination will be offered if a student has previously taken the class and

received any grade other than a “W.” In addition, no credit by exam will be offered for a course at a lower level than one a student has received credit for either at Merced College or another accredited institution. A student may petition this rule.

b. The grade obtained through credit by examination will be recorded on the transcript

with a descriptor CE (Credit by Examination.) If the student fails the exam, it must be


Page 29 of 30

noted on the transcript. This attempt counts as part of the number of times a student

may enroll in the course.

And be it further resolved that portions of Senate Resolution 12-08 be replaced or updated with

the following language to clarify the faculty procedure for Credit by Exam:

(Update the language): Programs will need to establish a Credit by Exam policy, by consensus, and make that information available to their area dean and counselors in advance of each semester. The Curriculum Committee must be notified of the courses to be offered by Credit by Exam on a semester by semester basis for 2+2 Credit by Exams, and annually for internal Credit by Exams, in advance of the offering. These lists for 2+2 Credit by Exam will be included on the Curriculum Agenda each semester, and annually for internal Credit by Exams, and the lists will be provided to the counseling cohort and Admissions and Records. If the course is usually taught by an adjunct professor, the area dean will coordinate with the adjunct about courses to be listed as eligible for credit by exam.

(Replace the language “A CE must test for the ESO’s of the course. There should be a

collaboratively developed common or standard exam for each course approved for CE.)

Faculty must create a comprehensive exam mapped to Student Learning Outcomes (SLO’s) and the assessment rubric. Validation will be through SLO assessment done during the regular cycle of assessment.

Add the language:

Faculty should provide the student a copy of the course outline of record prior to administering the credit by exam to help them determine whether or not they should attempt taking credit by exam.
