November 11, 1988:
MOTION PASSED AS AMENDED (Unanimous Approval)
==========================
Amend policy on full, part-time status/study load as exists in
catalog to the following:
Full and Part-time Status/Study Load [[for Undergraduates]] (PJOR)
1. An undergraduate student who registers for 12 or more
semester credits at 蜜桃影像 is classified as a full-time student;
a graduate student registered for nine or more credits at 蜜桃影像
is considered as full time. All other [[undergraduate]] students
are consider as part-time.
2. FOR UNDERGRADUATES (PJOR) To enroll for 19 credits or more,
a student must have a 3.0 cumulative grade point average and
an overload approval by the advisor, department head, and dean
of college/school in which the student is majoring.
3. Credits carried at any unit of 蜜桃影像 are considered in the
determination of study load hours and for full-time or part-
time classification in any one semester.
EFFECTIVE: [[Upon Chancellor's Approval]] FALL 1989
RATIONALE: Specifies who approves overloads and
removes petition process (and thus Vice Chancellor level
approval) from the procedure. Also requires a certain
grade point average for students desiring an overload.
Note: Amendment to motion passed (l nay) to retain the
current statement on graduate student status as it
appears in the catalog.
Signed: David M. Smith, President, 蜜桃影像 Faculty Senate
APPROVED WITH MODIFICATION(S) INDICATED: Pat O'Rourke Date: 1/4/89
N.B. The changes are editorial in nature and seek to add greater
clarity to the policy. I believe the graduate full-time student
definition was inserted by amendment from the floor, thus changing
the policy from undergraduate to both graduate & undergraduate.

THE SEMESTER OR SESSION HAS ELAPSED.
Total withdrawal from 蜜桃影像 must be initiated by the dean of the
college/school where the student is majoring. The Dean of Students
must initiate the withdrawal for non-majors.
The dean initiating the withdrawal will immediately notify the
course instructors and the student's advisor of the withdrawal.
Withdrawal from 蜜桃影像 is the official discontinuance of attendance
prior to the end of the semester or session.
Withdrawals, after the second week, regardless of type, will appear
on the student's permanent record as the letter "W" but will have no
effect on the student's GPA or any reference to the student's

SIGNATURE FROM HIS/HER ADVISOR IN ORDER TO WITHDRAW FROM A
COURSE.
AN INSTRUCTOR IS NOT REQUIRED TO SIGN THE WITHDRAWAL FORM
WHEN A STUDENT IS WITHDRAWING FROM HIS/HER COURSE.
The above withdrawal policy deadlines are adjusted for courses
shorter in time than the regular semester.
The appeals route for students or faculty regarding the dean's
decision is the Chancellor's Office, and then to the Fairbanks
Grievance Council.

graduation if he/she performs at a "C" level or above. If
performance falls below that level, the course will not be recorded
on the student's transcript. In either case, the course will not be
included in any GPA calculations. Courses for which credit is
awarded may be counted toward the fulfillment of degree
requirements. The student may change from credit-no-credit status
during the first two weeks of the semester by informing the
Director of Admissions and Records.
EFFECTIVE: [[Upon Chancellor's Approval]] FALL 1989

MOTION PASSED AS AMENDED (Unanimous Approval)
==========================
Amend policy on transfer of credit as exists in catalog to the
following:
Transfer of Credit
-----------------
Credit accepted for transfer to 蜜桃影像 which has been earned at other
accredited institutions, through military educational experiences or
credit accepted by special approval shall be considered as transfer
credit. Where possible, transfer credit will be equated with 蜜桃影像
courses.
The following regulations apply to transfer of credit:
1. Only persons accepted as degree or certificate candidates at
蜜桃影像 are eligible for transfer of credit.
2. The applicability of any transfer credit to major and/or minor
requirements is subject to approval by the appropriate major
and/or minor department. Transfer students must fulfill the
graduation and residency requirements of 蜜桃影像, including those
which may be required for a particular program. Baccalaureate
degree candidates must complete 30 of the last 36 credits in
residence, including 24 credits of upper-division work, and
associate degree candidates must complete 15 of the last 30
credits in residence. A maximum of 60% of required course
work to earn a certificate may be accepted in transfer.
3. Credits earned at the 100-level or above with a grade of "C" or
higher at accredited institutions will be considered for
transfer.
4. Transfer credit is not included in 蜜桃影像 grade point computation.
5. The class standing of the entering transfer student is based
upon the number of credits 蜜桃影像 accepts of his/her previous
college work.
6. Credits may be awarded for formal service schooling and
military occupational specialties (MOS) as recommended in the
"Guide to the Evaluation of Educational Experience," published
by the American Council on Education. A maximum of 49
credits combined from these sources can be applied toward an
associate or bachelor's degree. Credit completed through the
Community College of the Air Force is considered to be in this
category and is subject to the same regulations, as is credit
accepted for the completion of Defense Activity Non-
traditional Education Support (DANTES) tests.
7. Special review for approval of the transfer credit not meeting
the requirements stated above may be requested from the
Director of Admissions and Records.
EFFECTIVE: [[Upon Chancellor's Approval]] FALL 1989
RATIONALE: To provide for consistent transfer policy for
the restructured university system.
Note: Motion was amended to delete "at other units of the
University of 蜜桃影像 system" for clarification

Amend policy on credit compressibility to the following:
Credit Compressibility
---------------------
For short courses and classes of less than one semester in duration,
course hours will not be compressed into fewer than three days per
credit. [[This limitation may be waived for selected courses upon
approval of the department head and the appropriate dean.]] (PJOR)
EFFECTIVE: [[Upon Chancellor's Approval]] FALL 1989
RATIONALE: To enable the University to provide short,
intensive vocational workshops as well as professional
seminars to a population that will not normally be served
in more traditional settings.
Signed: David M. Smith, President, 蜜桃影像 Faculty Senate
APPROVED WITH MODIFICATION(S) INDICATED: Pat O'Rourke, Date:
12/16/88
N.B. The second sentence of the above policy is struck for it would,
in essence, negate the policy enunciated in the first sentence.
Additionally, the awarding of credit is university wide and
should not be nullified by the discretion of any individual
department head and dean. Finally 3 days is a high degree of
compression and permitting the shortening of it would tend to
devalue the credit earned.

DISTANCE DELIVERY COURSES, (PJOR) or in individual study or
research through any unit of 蜜桃影像. Transfer credit, advanced
placement credit, formal service school credit, military service

Amend policy on correspondence study as exists in catalog to the
following:
Correspondence Study
--------------------
蜜桃影像 Correspondence courses are included in the determination of
full-time status for the purpose of consolidated tuition and
eligibility for financial aid when enrollment occurs during the
regular registration period and the course is completed within the
same semester. The student may enroll in correspondence courses at
other times of the year but these courses will not be included in the
determination of full-time student status. Academic responsibility
for correspondence courses will reside in the discipline whose
designator they carry.
蜜桃影像 will allow a total of 32 credits of correspondence study to
apply toward a baccalaureate degree and 15 credits toward an
associate degree.
EFFECTIVE: [[Upon Chancellor's Approval]] FALL 1989
RATIONALE: This motion provides increased access to
courses for students l) in rural areas, 2) students unable
to attend during scheduled hours on campus and 3)
students whose required classes are full. This motion
also reconfirms the academic housing of correspondence
courses while indicating that mode of delivery of
courses will not be a factor in determining the cost to
students for courses taken as part of their full-time
load.

The 蜜桃影像 Faculty Senate approved the following at its Meeting #7 on
November 11, 1988:
MOTION PASSED (Unanimous Approval)
==============
Accept the following current 蜜桃影像 incomplete grade policy
university-wide:
Incomplete Grade Policy
----------------------
The letter grade "I" (incomplete) is a temporary grade used to
indicate that the student has satisfactorily completed (C or better)
the majority of work in a course but for personal reasons beyond the
student's control, such as sickness, has not been able to complete
the course during the regular semester. Normally, an incomplete is
assigned in the case when the student is current in the class until at
least the last three weeks of the semester or summer session.
Negligence or indifference are not acceptable reasons for an "I"
grade. The deferred grade (DF) should be used for those cases when a
student is unable to complete a course due to institutional reasons,
such as breakdown of laboratory equipment. THE NO BASIS GRADE
(NB) MAY BE USED SOLELY AT THE DISCRETION OF THE INSTRUCTOR IF
THERE IS INSUFFICIENT BASIS FOR EVALUATION TO OCCUR. (PJOR)
[[The assignment of an incomplete grade can only be made by the
instructor after consultation with the Dean of the school or college
in which the course is given. Deans are encouraged to consult with
the Dean of Students in questionable cases.]] The instructor will
also include a statement of the work required of the student to
complete the course at the time the "I" grade is assigned AND A COPY
OF THE NOTICE OF INCOMPLETE GRADE WILL BE SENT TO THE DEAN OF
THE SCHOOL OR COLLEGE IN WHICH THE COURSE IS GIVEN. (PJOR)
An incomplete must be made up within one year or it will
automatically be changed to an "F" grade by the Records Office. The
"I" grade is not computed in the student's grade point average until it
has been changed to a regular letter grade by the instructor or until
one year has elapsed at which time it will be computed as an "F". A
senior cannot graduate with an "I" grade in either a University or
major course requirement. To determine a senior's grade point
average at graduation, the "I" grade will be computed as a failing
grade.
EFFECTIVE: [[Upon Chancellor's Approval]] FALL 1989
RATIONALE: Former community colleges utilized a
permanent "I" system for incompletes after one year.
This motion would remove the permanent "I" as an option
within the system.
Signed: David M. Smith, President, 蜜桃影像 Faculty Senate
APPROVED WITH MODIFICATION(S) INDICATED: Pat O'Rourke Date:
1/4/89
N.B. The reference to the NB grade is added at the suggestion of the
President-Elect of the Senate.
Neither the Deans, nor I can think of any reason why it is
necessary for the faculty member to consult with the Dean
prior to assigning an "I" grade. However, a copy of the notice
of Incomplete grade should be sent to the Dean so that he or
she is aware of practices within the college and because at
times, a faculty member leaves the University and other
arrangements for removing the I must be made.

The 蜜桃影像 Faculty Senate approved the following at its Meeting #7 on
November 11, 1988:
MOTION PASSED AS AMENDED (Unanimous Approval)
==========================
Amend policy on "pass" and "fail" as exists in catalog to the
following:
P Pass - The grade "pass" indicates satisfactory completion of
course requirements at either the undergraduate or graduate level.
A "pass" grade does not affect the grade point average but credits
earned with "pass" grades may apply toward meeting degree
requirements and may be used as a measure of satisfactory progress.
Satisfactory performance is the equivalent of a grade "C" or better
in undergraduate coursework and "B" or better in graduate courses.
The entire class must be graded pass/fail and the grading system is
to be noted in the course schedule.
F Fail - Indicates failure (no grade points). All "F" grades, including
those earned in pass/fail courses, are included in the GPA
calculations.
EFFECTIVE: [[Upon Chancellor's Approval]] FALL 1989
RATIONALE: The option to have a pass/fail option should
be linked to the nature of a course offering. Students
have credit-no-credit options in courses where they
desire choice as to grading.
Note: Amendment to motion unanimously passed changing
requirement for the grading system to be noted in course
schedule instead of being announced at the beginning of
the semester.

MOTION PASSED AS AMENDED (16 ayes, 7 nays)
==========================
An instructor has the option of awarding a No-Basis grade, "NB", if
there is insufficient student progress and/or attendance for
evaluation to occur. No credit will be given nor will the "NB" be
calculated in the GPA. THIS IS A PERMANENT GRADE AND MAY NOT
BE USED AS A SUBSTITUTE FOR THE INCOMPLETE (I). IT MAY NOT BE
REMOVED BY SUBSEQUENT COMPLETION OF OUTSTANDING WORK
(PJOR)
EFFECTIVE: [[Upon Chancellor's Approval]] FALL 1989
RATIONALE: This grade will give an instructor the option
to not grade students who have not completed
assignments or who were absent from class for a
significant portion of that class. The "NB" grade was a
grade used by certain units within the system. This
motion would make that grade available university-wide.
Note: Amendment to motion unanimously passed giving the
instructor the option of awarding the No-Basis grade.

Amend policy on academic advising as exists in catalog to the
following:
(( )) = deletion

Academic Advising
-----------------
蜜桃影像 considers advising to be an integral part of the educational
process; therefore, the objective of the advising program is to
assist students in maximizing their responsibilities for their own
academic program and in setting and achieving academic and
postgraduate goals. Effective academic advising is perhaps the
highest form of service that the individual faculty members can
render to students and to 蜜桃影像.
DEGREE AND CERTIFICATE CANDIDATES ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE AN
ACADEMIC ADVISOR. Most of those students who have declared
majors will be advised by the faculty in the department of the
major. Undeclared students, those without majors, will be assigned
advisors from the faculty at the 蜜桃影像 campus or unit where they are
enrolled. ADVISOR CONSULTATION IS DESIRED BEFORE CLASS
SELECTION IS APPROVED AND REGISTRATION IS ALLOWED FOR NON?
DEGREE STUDENTS WHO PLAN TO ENROLL IN MORE THAN 9 CREDITS OR
WHO HAVE ACCUMULATED 30 蜜桃影像 CREDITS.
EFFECTIVE: [[Upon Chancellor's Approval]] FALL 1989

==============
Amend policy on scholastic standards as exists in catalog to the
following:
(( )) = deletion
CAPS = addition
Scholastic Standards FOR UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE Students,
CERTIFICATE STUDENTS, AND NON?DEGREE STUDENTS ENROLLED IN
MORE THAN 9 CREDITS:
蜜桃影像 has set scholastic standards so undergraduate, CERTIFICATE
AND NON-DEGREE students ENROLLED IN MORE THAN 9 CREDITS
earning less than satisfactory grades will examine their objectives
carefully before continuing. The scholastic standards are designed
so that action is taken before a student's record deteriorates to the
point that readmission to 蜜桃影像 or to another college or university
becomes a problem. In all cases involving poor scholarship, students
are encouraged to consult with their advisors, instructors, or deans.
At the end of a semester, an undergraduate, CERTIFICATE OR NON-
DEGREE student ENROLLED IN MORE THAN 9 CREDITS failing to earn a
GPA of 2.00 in courses at 蜜桃影像 will be subject to scholastic action.
Depending upon the circumstances, scholastic action may result in a
student being placed on probation, continued on probation or
disqualified from the university.
Probation - Academic probation will occur when the semester grade
point average of an undergraduate degree student ((or a full-time)),
CERTIFICATE DEGREE STUDENT, OR A NON-DEGREE STUDENT TAKING
MORE THAN 9 CREDITS falls below 2.00 A student previously on
probation whose semester and/or cumulative GPA is less than 2.00
may be continued on probation if circumstances warrant. The
probation determination, which is made by the dean of the college in
which the student is m majoring, may include conditions and/or
credit limitations which the student is expected to fulfill during
his/her next enrollment at 蜜桃影像. Probation students may be referred
for developmental advising/education and/or to a counseling center.
In order to be removed from probation, a student's cumulative and
semester gaps must be 2.00 or higher. Academic probation will be
noted on a student's 蜜桃影像 transcript.
Academic Disqualification - If a student's cumulative record
indicates poor scholarship, the dean of the college in which the
student is majoring may recommend that the student be not
permitted to enroll in credit courses at 蜜桃影像 for the next regular
semester following disqualification. After one regular semester, a
student may enroll at 蜜桃影像 as a special student, limited to six
credits or less per semester for any remainder of the
disqualification period. A student under academic disqualification
must reapply for admission to 蜜桃影像 when he/she wishes to be
considered for readmission as a regular student. The application for
readmission should include evidence that the student now has a high
probability for success in college. A STUDENT MAY CONTINUE
ENROLLMENT AT 蜜桃影像 ONLY AS A NON?DEGREE STUDENT, LIMITED TO
ENROLLMENT TO 9 CREDITS OR LESS PER SEMESTER, UNTIL
REINSTATED. A STUDENT MUST APPLY FOR READMISSION WHEN
HE/SHE WISHES TO BE RESTORED TO DEGREE SEEKING STATUS.
ACADEMIC HISTORY ENTRY - ACADEMIC PROBATION AND REMOVAL
FROM DEGREE SEEKING STATUS WILL BE NOTED ON A STUDENT'S
ACADEMIC HISTORY RECORD. NO NOTATION WILL APPEAR ON AN
OFFICIAL TRANSCRIPT OF THAT RECORD; HOWEVER, PROBATION AND
REMOVAL FROM DEGREE SEEKING STATUS WILL APPEAR ON INTERNAL
DOCUMENTS SUCH AS UNOFFICIAL TRANSCRIPTS AND COUNSELING
REPORTS.
Good Standing - ((To be in good standing, an undergraduate 蜜桃影像
student must maintain an overall and most recent semester GPA of
2.00 or better.)) AN UNDERGRADUATE STUDENT IS IN GOOD STANDING
WHEN HIS/HER 蜜桃影像 CUMULATIVE GPA AND MOST RECENT SEMESTER'S
GPA ARE 2.00 OR BETTER.
EFFECTIVE: [[Upon Chancellor's Approval]] FALL 1989

CAPS = addition
A financial award program recognizing faculty for meritorious
performance OR IN SUPPORT OF PROPOSED PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES
OF MERIT shall be instituted based on the following principles:
a) A fixed number of awards shall be given within each
College or School based on the total number of full time
faculty members (or equivalent).
b) Awards shall be ((made in the form of a bonus check)) of
substantial amount (say $1000 or $2000) annually (not a
continuing percentage increase).
c) The method of nomination of award recipients, criteria
for awards, and the selection of recipients within each
College or School shall be determined by a committee of
four faculty members nominated and elected by the
faculty within that College or School, and one student
from that College or School appointed by ASUA. Awards
shall be made by the cognizant dean from a pool of funds
provided to the school or college by the Office of the
Chancellor.
EFFECTIVE: Upon Chancellor's Approval
RATIONALE: This amendment would permit the faculty of
a school or college to go ahead with an award program in
precisely the manner originally set forth, it would also
give the faculty in each school and college the option of
using the funds to underwrite or help underwrite small
proposed projects. In the latter case, incentive is
encouraged and the criteria could be designed to
encourage collaboration. The proposed amendment
simply authorizes, rather than mandates, such an option.
The words "made in the form of a bonus check" assume a
program of awards to individuals and are not compatible
with the proposed option; however, the deletion of those
words does not prevent bonus checks from being
awarded, if a particular faculty chooses that route. If
the motion is silent on that matter, it would be
internally consistent with whichever option a faculty
might choose.
If the amendment is approved, the three principles set
forth in the motion would apply to either option chosen
by a faculty.

RESOLUTION PASSED (Unanimous Approval)
==================
WHEREAS, The World Health Organization recommends that care
during normal pregnancy, birth, and afterwards should be the
duty of midwives, and the 蜜桃影像 State Legislature has
legalized lay midwifery in 蜜桃影像; and
WHEREAS, Home birth and birthing-center births are an accepted,
legitimate and significant childbirth alternative for healthy
women in 蜜桃影像, and are an alternative for which University
of 蜜桃影像 employees should enjoy freedom of choice without
financial penalty; and
WHEREAS, The University of 蜜桃影像 inhibits the freedom of choice of
its employees and also inhibits free-market competition in
childbirth services by excluding the services of lay midwives
in its benefits package; and
WHEREAS, The World Health Organization can see no justification for
any specific geographic area to have more than 10 to 15
percent cesarean-section births, and because in nations such
as Holland, where home birth for healthy women is considered
superior to hospital births and where the rate of cesarean-
section births is among the lowest in the industrialized world,
and because in many 蜜桃影像 hospitals, the cesarean-section
rate hovers around 25 percent; and
WHEREAS, Some 125 babies a year in Fairbanks alone are born at
home or in non-hospital birthing centers attended by lay
midwives who are certified by the Midwives Association of
蜜桃影像;
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, That the University of 蜜桃影像
Fairbanks Faculty Senate supports a benefit package that
includes the appropriate payment of services provided by lay
midwives who are certified by the Midwives Association of
蜜桃影像.
