A. Associate Vice Provost Bart Quimby Assessment committee met this morning Made motion to change relationship by taking committee it out of curriculum process Programs needed opportunity to work on assessment without having to go through the curriculum process Want to be a consulting body, rather than approving process

B. Registrar John Allred (pg. 6) Policy Issues: • Incomplete grade

An incomplete grade (I) is assigned only at the discretion of the instructor. It is used to indicate that a student has made satisfactory progress in the majority of the work in a course, but for unavoidable absences or other conditions beyond the control of the student, has not been able to complete the course. Students assigned an incomplete grade are not entitled to complete the remaining coursework within the classroom/lab, to any additional instruction; nor may they participate in the class/lab during a future semester without re-registering, paying tuition, and retaking the course. An Incomplete Grade Contract form between the student and the faculty member stipulating the assignment(s) required to finish the course and the timeframe for submission is required and should be filed with the department or dean’s office when an Incomplete grade is assigned. Coursework must be completed by the date specified in the contract, not to exceed one year. Upon completion of the required course work, the faculty member must submit a Change of Grade form to the Office of the Registrar. If coursework is not completed by the contract deadline and the faculty member does not submit a Change of Grade form at that time, the Incomplete will become a permanent grade. The student has until the last day of class of the first full semester following the end of the contract to resolve any grading discrepancies. Approved

The student has until the last day of class of the first full semester following the end of the contract to resolve any grading discrepancies. Approved

• Graduation with Honors

To be eligible to graduate with honors, associate’s and baccalaureate degree-seeking students must first earn a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or higher in all college work attempted at UAA. A transfer student who is earning an associate’s degree must complete a minimum of 15 resident credits with academic letter grades to be eligible to graduate with honors. A transfer student who is earning a baccalaureate degree must complete a minimum of 30 resident credits with academic letter grades to be eligible to graduate with honors. All transfer students must have a cumulative GPA of 3.50 or higher in all college work attempted both at UAA and at all other accredited institutions attended and for all courses used to fulfill the degree program in order to graduate with honors. At UAA, graduation with honors represents the students’ entire academic history. All grades and credits earned will be included in determining eligibility to graduate with honors (Ds, Fs, retaken courses, courses lost in academic bankruptcy, etc). In addition, a student transferring coursework and grades from an international institution must have a minimum of 70% of their coursework submitted with letter grades to be eligible to graduate with honors. Honors are awarded to associate’s and baccalaureate degree students with cumulative GPAs as follows: Cum Laude 3.50 to 3.79 Magna Cum Laude 3.80 to 3.99 Summa Cum Laude 4.00 Approved

Dear Curriculum Committees and Office of Academic Affairs:

Our current AAS, Dental Hygiene degree has 73 credits plus additional prerequisites to meet the American Dental Association’s accreditation standards. New legislation has increased the scope of practice for hygienists, necessitating additional curriculum to comply with the new statutes. The proposed Bachelor of Science, Dental Hygiene program will articulate with the current AAS degree and provide curricula to cover the new restorative duties. Program outcomes are as follows:

At the completion of this program, students will be able to:

1. Critically evaluate research studies. 2. Assess, plan, implement, and evaluate complex community oral health projects to diverse

populations. 3. Perform advanced dental hygiene skills beyond the associate degree level, e.g. restorative

functions and/or clinical instruction.

Students will be required to take STAT A252 or A253 as their computational general education requirement (GER), and will need to complete their GERs by taking 3 credits of Fine Arts and 6 credits of Humanities. A dental hygiene integrated capstone GER will be included as a required course. All other GERs are met through the AAS degree requirements and prerequisites. Students will also be required to take the laboratory components for all science courses. I have corresponded with the biology and chemistry departments on this matter, and students should be able to take the laboratory courses separately if they have already completed the lecture courses required for the AAS degree.

The state dental hygiene community has been supportive of a BSDH program for many years. Both the American Dental Hygiene Association and the American Dental Educators Association support bachelor level dental hygiene programs. We have requested funding for the restorative courses in the FY11 budget, and do not anticipate other significant expenditures in faculty or facilities for this degree. The education component, mostly using existing courses, can proceed at minimal additional cost.

Thank you for considering this program.

Sincerely,

Sandra Pence Program Director, Assistant Professor UAA Dental Hygiene Program

DENTAL HYGIENE Allied Health Sciences Building (AHS), Room 160, (907) 786-6929 www.uaa.alaska.edu/ctc/alliedhealth/dh The registered dental hygienist is a licensed oral health educator and clinical operator who, as part of the dental team, uses preventive, educational, and therapeutic methods which aid individuals and groups to attain and maintain optimum oral health. Dental hygienists can work as clinicians, educators, researchers, administrators, managers, preventive program developers, consumer advocates, sales and marketing managers, editors, and consultants. Clinical dental hygienists may work in a variety of health care settings such as private dental offices, schools, public health clinics, hospitals, managed care organizations, correctional institutions, or nursing homes. The Dental Hygiene Associate of Applied Science program is accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association, a specialized accrediting body recognized by the Council on Postsecondary Accreditation and by the United States Department of Education. The Associate of Applied Science degree is a three-year endeavor comprising one year of science and general education courses and two years of coursework in dental hygiene. The program prepares graduates clinically and academically to take the National and Western Regional Examining Boards (WREB) for licensure. Once enrolled as an AAS dental hygiene student, the student can anticipate a four-semester, 40-hour-per-week endeavor. Some evening classes and clinics are scheduled. Clinical dental hygiene requires the ability to sit for long periods of time, good to excellent eye-hand coordination, and excellent fine hand motor skills. Dental hygienists are exposed to bacteria and viruses. Use of protective glasses, face masks and surgical type gloves is required. A professional appearance must be maintained during preclinical and clinical sessions. Transfer of credits may be possible for graduates of an American Dental Association (ADA) accredited dental assisting program. Contact the Dental Hygiene program advisor for details. The Bachelor of Science Dental Hygiene program articulates with the UAA Dental Hygiene AAS degree. It provides hygienists advanced education in restorative dental hygiene and/or educational methodology. Students earning a BSDH degree may be eligible for a commission in the US Public Health Service and for teaching opportunities. The BSDH also prepares students for entry to graduate programs in dental hygiene and public health. Some expenses beyond tuition generally include activity fees, instruments, uniforms, lab fees, student organization membership, graduation pin, immunizations, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) class, board exam fees, licensure fees, student health insurance, and malpractice insurance for the Western Regional Examining Boards and professional liability insurance. Please refer to the dental hygiene program website for expense estimates.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS Due to the nature of the work, dental hygiene students are not permitted to work in the classroom, laboratory, or clinic when under the influence of intoxicants, drugs, or medication affecting psychomotor responses. Guidelines for Infection Control in Dental-Health Care Settings from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will be followed for students with, or exposued to, infectious diseases. As a condition of participation in the Dental Hygiene program students must abide by the university's Student Code of Conduct, the Dental Hygiene program

's Policies and Procedures, and the American Dental Hygienists' Association Code of Ethics for Dental Hygienists.

Application for obtaining an Alaska dental hygiene license or restorative certification requires disclosure of information concerning illegal activity, crimes, hospitalization history regarding emotional or mental illness, drug addiction, alcoholism, and contagious diseases. If a student has a history with any of the aforementioned, it is highly recommended the applicant contact the Alaska Department of Occupational Licensing or a similar government agency in any state in which the applicant wants to practice. The UAA Dental program

application requires information concerning disciplinary actions taken at any university or college.

PRECLINICAL AND CLINICAL REQUIREMENTS Once admitted to the Dental Hygiene program, students are required to provide the following:

70

1. A signed application form indicating the understanding and acceptance of the Dental Hygiene program requirements regarding health screening, and immunizations.

2. Current Health Care Provider (American Heart Association) or Professional Rescuer (American Red Cross) certification in CPR/AED for infants, children, and adults. First-year students must present proof of certification by the first day of class. Certification must be kept current until graduation.

3. Professional liability insurance that must be maintained throughout the duration of the student's enrollment in Dental Hygiene courses. Specific information regarding acceptable professional liability insurance policies may be obtained directly from the program.

DENTAL HYGIENE Allied Health Sciences Building (AHS), Room 160, (907) 786-6929 www.uaa.alaska.edu/ctc/alliedhealth/dh The registered dental hygienist is a licensed oral health educator and clinical operator who, as part of the dental team, uses preventive, educational, and therapeutic methods which aid individuals and groups to attain and maintain optimum oral health. Dental hygienists can work as clinicians, educators, researchers, administrators, managers, preventive program developers, consumer advocates, sales and marketing managers, editors, and consultants. Clinical dental hygienists may work in a variety of health care settings such as private dental offices, schools, public health clinics, hospitals, managed care organizations, correctional institutions, or nursing homes. The Dental Hygiene Associate of Applied Science program is accredited by the Commission on Dental Accreditation of the American Dental Association, a specialized accrediting body recognized by the Council on Postsecondary Accreditation and by the United States Department of Education. The Associate of Applied Science degree is a three-year endeavor comprising one year of science and general education courses and two years of coursework in dental hygiene. The program prepares graduates clinically and academically to take the National and Western Regional Examining Boards (WREB) for licensure. Once enrolled as an AAS dental hygiene student, the student can anticipate a four-semester, 40-hour-per-week endeavor. Some evening classes and clinics are scheduled. Clinical dental hygiene requires the ability to sit for long periods of time, good to excellent eye-hand coordination, and excellent fine hand motor skills. Dental hygienists are exposed to bacteria and viruses. Use of protective glasses, face masks and surgical type gloves is required. A professional appearance must be maintained during preclinical and clinical sessions. Transfer of credits may be possible tofor graduates of an American Dental Association (ADA) accredited dental assisting program. Contact the Dental Hygiene program advisor for details. The Bachelor of Science Dental Hygiene program articulates with the UAA Dental Hygiene AAS degree. It provides hygienists advanced education in restorative dental hygiene and/or educational methodology. Students earning a BSDH degree may be eligible for a commission in the US Public Health Service and for teaching opportunities. The BSDH also prepares students for entry to graduate programs in dental hygiene and public health. Some expenses beyond tuition generally include activity fees, instruments, uniforms, lab fees, student organization membership, graduation pin, immunizations, cost of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) class, board exam fees, licensure fees, student health insurance, and malpractice insurance for the Western Regional Examining Boards and professional liability insurance. Please refer to the dental hygiene program website for expense estimates. Once enrolled as a dental hygiene student, the student can anticipate a four-semester, 40-hour-per-week endeavor. Some evening classes and clinics are scheduled.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS Due to the nature of the work, dental hygiene students are not permitted to work in the classroom, laboratory, or clinic when under the influence of intoxicants, drugs, or medication affecting psychomotor responses. Guidelines for Infection Control in Dental-Health Care Settings from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention will be followed for students with, or exposured to, infectious diseases. As a condition of participation in the Dental Hygiene program students must abide by the university's Student Code of Conduct, the Dental Hygiene program

ENGLISH Administration/Humanities Building (ADM), Room 101, (907) 786-4355 http://english.uaa.alaska.edu/ The programs offered by the Department of English provide an opportunity for a truly liberal education, one that encourages both self-discovery and an exploration of enduring ideas. The curriculum includes courses in composition, rhetoric, literature, linguistics, and thinking strategies. The composition program provides courses that fulfill the university’s General Education Requirement in written communication. More advanced writing courses offer opportunities for students to develop skills in electronic communication, disciplinary writing, and research. Students who major in English choose one of three options: literature, rhetoric and language, or education. The literature option focuses on significant examples of literature from different periods and genres, as well as the social and cultural forces that shape them. The rhetoric and language option focuses on rhetorical strategies and techniques of composition, emphasizing historical and theoretical perspectives in contemporary settings. The education option prepares students for teaching literature and writing at the middle school and secondary levels, and for admission to UAA’s Master of Arts in Teaching program. All three options prepare majors to conduct research in the discipline and to write for a variety of purposes and audiences. In addition, all three options offer the opportunity to earn honors in English. The Literature minor enhances the experience of students majoring in other subjects by providing a study of significant authors and literary works, as well as by developing skills in writing and critical analysis. The Professional Writing minor prepares students to interpret and present complex information in a readable form to various audiences using a variety of media, including written words, illustrations, digital multimedia, online help systems, websites, and videos. The minor develops strong language, visual, and analytical skills, as well as aptitude for technical information, particularly in the industry in which students plan to work: computer science, engineering, medicine, aerospace, or business. The Linguistics minor is designed for non-English majors who wish to build a foundation in linguistic studies for complementary majors, such as Anthropology and Languages, and for those who are interested in the study and teaching of languages. The minor includes two introductory courses and four elective courses which are offered through the Anthropology and English departments. Most courses emphasize the structure of the English language. For information on English placement tests, challenge exams, transfer credits, petition procedures, or special registration, contact the English Department.

HONORS IN ENGLISH The Department of English recognizes exceptional undergraduate students by awarding them departmental honors in English.

Two of the major certifying agencies used different titles to designate laboratory professionals that were certified by their organization. This led to a great deal of confusion for employers and the public. In October ASCP and NCA are merging to form the ASCP Board of Certification and a single title for each level of practice will be used. The table below lists the previous and new titles. The catalog has been revised to eliminate the titles clinical laboratory scientist, clinical laboratory technician and medical technologist and to add the title medical laboratory scientist.

American Society for

Clinical Pathology Board of Registry (ASCP)

National Credentialing Agency for Laboratory Personnel (NCA)

ASCP Board of Certification

Bachelor of Science Degree

Medical Technologist Clinical Laboratory Scientist

Medical Laboratory Scientist

Associate of Applied Sciences Degree

Medical Laboratory Technician

Clinical Laboratory Technician

Medical Laboratory Technicians

2. The Medical Laboratory Technology Department has been using a blanket petition for AAS-MLT

graduates who return to complete the BSMT. The petition allows MEDT A295 Clinical Practicum to meet the requirements for one semester of MEDT A495 Medical Technology Practicum. Students are advised that they may need additional upper division credits to meet the requirements for graduation. The catalog has been changed to 24 credits of MEDT A495 or 12 credits of MEDT A295 and 12 credits of MEDT A495 eliminating the need for a petition.

3. Addition of departmental honors for students majoring in medical technology.
