Section AII: Changes in Generic Degree Requirements

AII.1: The following revisions are proposed to Exemption Policy and Degree Requirements in the Codification of the BCC Academic Rules and Regulations.

Proposed: Revise codification to eliminate the 30-credit maximum credits by exemption (e.g., transfer credit). Replace with a 30-credit residency requirement for associate programs.

Current Codification: Proposed Revised Codification: Exemption Exemption 10.1.4 Maximum credits by exemption 10.1.4 Maximum credits by exemption Credits by exemption are limited to a maximum of 30 credits whether earned at Credits by exemption (whether earned at another college or by other another college or by other acceptable method listed above. They are also subject acceptable method listed above) are limited by the BCC 30 credit to the specific limitations applying to their specific category. residency requirement. That is, students must complete at least 30 credits at BCC to earn a BCC associate degree. The balance of credits required for the degree (typically 30 credits, but sometimes more, depending on the degree) may be satisfied by exemption credits. Note, however, that exemption credits are also subject to the specific limitations applying to their specific category.

Degree Requirements 11.2 Credit requirements Degree Requirements 11.2.1 Minimum credits required for degree 11.2 Credit requirements Students shall be considered for a degree when all course and grade point 11.2.1 Minimum credits required for degree average requirements for their curriculum have been met. The minimum Students shall be considered for a degree when all course and grade point average number of degree credits required for a degree shall be the number stated requirements for their curriculum have been met. The minimum number of degree in the College Catalog for his/her curriculum at the time the student credits required for a degree shall be the number stated in the College Catalog for entered the College. his/her curriculum at the time the student entered the College. Students must complete at least 30 credits at BCC (30-credit residency). Effective Semester: Fall 2019

Rationale: The proposed change would increase the number of credits potentially eligible for exemption credit (e.g., transfer credit) for BCC degree programs like Medical Lab Technician (MLT) that require more than 60 credits to graduate with an associate degree. The MLT program requires 66 total credits and, therefore, would accommodate up to 36 transfer credits under this proposed policy. While this number of transfer credits is typically rare, the MLT program has, in recent years, admitted a number of students with bachelor’s degrees. When these students are transferring with a science degree, like the BS Forensic Science from John Jay, they sometimes have more than 30 credits that could transfer directly toward the MLT degree requirements. With the current limit of 30 credits, these students are put in the position of needing to retake courses for which they already have the equivalent, take a course not applicable to the degree, or take an independent study. Note that these students must pay out of pocket as they are no longer eligible for grant-based financial aid (having already earned a bachelor’s degree).

While this change is proposed to address a recurring issue for the MLT program, it would apply to any BCC degree program (e.g., Nursing, Radiologic Technology, Nuclear Medicine Technology, and Electronic Engineering Technology) that requires more than 60 credits. This change would afford these additional programs more flexibility in accommodating student transfer credit, but would obviously not require them to accept more credit.

The proposed change would have no impact on degree programs that require 60 credits.

AII.2: The following revisions are proposed to Substitution Policy in the Codification of the BCC Academic Rules and Regulations.

Proposed: In order to clarify the existing language regarding course waivers and substitutions as well as to recognize the potential Pathways core requirements of such waivers and substitutions, the following proposed revision to 10.5.2 is offered.

Current Codification: Proposed Revised Codification: 10.5.2 Exemptions by equivalent course or substitute course 10.5.2 Exemptions by substitute course a. Exemptions made under this policy are those permitting a student to forgo a a. Exemptions made under this policy are those permitting a student to forgo required course in his or her curriculum by reason of exceptional a required course in his or her curriculum by reason of exceptional circumstances. Students receiving such exemptions shall by responsible for circumstances. Students receiving such exemptions shall be responsible for completing the credits that are exempted. These credits are replaced by taking completing the credits that are exempted. These credits are replaced by either an equivalent course or a substitute course. taking a substitute course. b. An equivalent course is one that is substantially equal to the required course in terms of depth, difficulty, content and contact hours. For equivalent courses at Bronx Community College, a list of such courses shall be compiled by each department and forwarded to the College Curriculum Committee. Curriculum coordinators may approve the use of equivalent courses without the necessity of other approvals since such courses have been previously approved by the College Curriculum Committee. Since these courses have been approved by the College Curriculum Committee as being equivalent to the required courses both credit and index value (quality points) will be awarded in these cases. b. A substitute course is a course to be taken in place of a required course within a curriculum and needs approval of the Chair of the Department in which the required course is given as well as from the Chair of the Department offering the curriculum in which the course is required. (Note: Chairs may create a “designee” for purpose of substitution approvals.) A student should make the request for a substitution first to the Chair of the Department offering the curriculum in which the course is required. If c. A substitute course is a course to be taken in place of a required course approved, the Chair or student may then make a request to the Chair of the within a curriculum and needs approval of the Chair of the Department in which Department in which the required course is given. Both Department Chairs the required course is given. The curriculum coordinator who receives a must agree regarding the substitution. Please note the following: request for a substitution shall ask the Department Chair of the required course for approval to substitute a course. The Department Chair acts on individual i. The Department Chairs act on individual requests of students, and their requests of students, and the Department Chair's action is not to be actions are not to be considered as setting a precedent upon which decisions considered as setting a precedent upon which decisions concerning future concerning future requests are based. requests are based. It is recognized that these substitutions should be granted ii. It is recognized that these substitutions should be granted only for only for exceptional and unusual situations. The Chair of the Department in exceptional and unusual situations. which the required course is given must give his/her approval for the iii. The Chair of the Department to which the curriculum belongs and the substitution in writing to the Registrar prior to the CAS graduation meeting. Chair of the Department in which the required course is given must give their approval for the substitution in writing to the Registrar prior to the CAS graduation meeting. iv. If the required course is also located within the Pathways core, the Pathways Appeals Officer must also be consulted to ensure the substituted course is acceptable under Pathways. If it is not, the student is responsible for taking another appropriate class in that core area to meet the Pathways requirements. Effective Semester: Fall 2019

Rationale: The language regarding the department that holds/owns the curriculum lacked clarity that could lead to inappropriate courses being substituted should that department not be consulted in substitution situations. Additionally, with the change to the Pathways curriculum, in cases where the class in question is also a Pathways course, that aspect of the waiver and/or substitution needs to be addressed to ensure students also meet their Pathways core requirements. Finally, the language regarding equivalency is primarily covered by the substitution language given that no current list exists and such a list could be problematic as equivalencies should be listed in the college catalog.

Total 66 Total 66 Rationale: Currently, both MLT and Allied Health (primarily Nursing) students take BIO 28, which is oriented toward the health field. We have found that MLT students who complete BIO 28 are ill-equipped to continue into MLT 89 (Formerly BIO 44): Diagnostic Microbiology. Changing the requirement to MLT 88, which will only be available to MLT students, will allow us to focus the curriculum on the skills and concepts that MLT students require. Program-specific courses are also being changed to “MLT” in order to clearly designate program-specific courses and improve advisement.

AIII.2 The following revisions are proposed for the Licensed Practical Nurse program: Program: Licensed Practical Nurse Certificate Program Code: 91041 Hegis Code: 5209.20 Proposed Changes: Remove COMM 11 from required courses in Pre-Clinical Sequence; Increase PNR 201 from 5 credits to 7 credits; Reduce PNR 301 from 8 credits to 7 credits; Reduce PNR 401 from 8 credits to 7 credits; Reorder courses in the Pre-Clinical Sequence and each of the three semesters.

Total 47 Total 44 Rationale: NYSED has charged nursing programs (both practical and registered nursing) to streamline curriculums by reducing the number of credits and time it takes for qualified applicants to get through the program. In a memo to the BCC Nursing Department, NYSED wrote “Our framework for review of the proposed curriculum change is based in regulation and precedent. The regulations require that a credit- bearing program leading to the LPN license must be a minimum of 2 academic semesters, approximately 30 credits. By precedent, most programs in NYS based on a 1+1 model have been registered with a credit load of 37-42. Review of the curriculum shows an excess of LAS that are not necessary for LPN level education. Similar type LPN programs generally require approximately 14 credits of LAS including English, A & P, and Intro to Psychology. The other LAS courses required for the RN program can be taken when and if the student is admitted and enrolled in the RN program.” The memo also stated “Please determine a consistent clock to credit ratio for all components of the course especially lab and clinical. The supervision of students by an RN with a minimum of a BS in nursing is required for all LPN students regardless of the course level, clinical learning activity, or setting. This is required by law and regulation. Clinical in NYS is defined as direct care provided by the student under the direct supervision of an RN, the same is required for observation. The contact ratio for clinical is generally 3:1 and for lab and simulation 2:1.” Section AIV: New Courses

However, the Biological Sciences Department has recognized that MLT students are not being adequately prepared for passing the national accrediting examination, and thus continuing on to a career in Medical Laboratory Sciences, by taking BIO 28, primarily because this course is geared toward Allied Health majors. The learning outcomes and required skills for these two student populations is differten enough that a standalone Microbiology course for MLT majors is required. This new course would be reserved for MLT students only, and would focus on the content and skills they need in order to pass the national exam and establish a career in Medical Laboratory Sciences.

City College City College Chancellor’s University Report – Part A: Academic Matters

February/March 2019 AI. 1

Department of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences The City College Center for Worker Education BS in Early Childhood Education Request for a Waiver to Specify Courses within Pathways

Rationale

The BS in Early Childhood Education Program in City College’s Department of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences requests a waiver to specify particular courses students must take to meet Pathways Common Core and College Option requirements. BS students must complete specified courses in Pathways in order to remain in compliance with our accrediting body (NCATE) as well as the New York State Department of Education (NYSED), the party responsible for maintaining State requirements for licensing our candidates.

Currently, a student in the BS in Early Childhood Education is not able to complete Pathways without taking specified courses (or their equivalents) that are required for certification because the total number of credits required for the major, along with prerequisites for the major plus the Pathways credits courses EXCEEDS the total number of credits (120) required for the BSED degree. This will address the issue of transfer students who come in with an Associate’s degree but must still take prescribed Liberal Arts courses for certification. (Students who take the specified courses can complete all requirements within 120 credits.)

This waiver will allow the Early Childhood Education Program in the Department of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences to more effectively manage and address the issue of transfer students (our main student group) who come in with an earned Associate’s degree and for whom the Liberal Arts general education (Pathways) is deemed satisfied in DegreeWorks. These students must still take specific Liberal Arts courses for certification. This action typically disadvantages students who receive financial aid (i.e., TAP) as the additional courses prescribed by faculty are disallowed in the Financial Aid Certification Tracking System (FACTS). Scribing Degree Works with the specific Pathways courses BS in ECE students must complete will address these problems.

Given that BS in ECE students’ financial aid has been impacted by this issue since the implementation of Pathways in Fall 2013, we are requesting this waiver be retroactive to Fall 2013.

NB: The Department of Interdisciplinary Arts and Sciences at The City College Center for Worker Education has previously received a waiver from the CUNY office of Academic Affairs to offer a 40-credit Pathways General Education curriculum that integrates both the Pathways Common Core and the College Option. Students take ten four-credit courses that fulfill all the areas of the Required and Flexible Core and the College Option (with some adjustments for transfer students). The existing waiver specifies SPAN 12104 (OR approved World Cultures and Global issues substitute if language requirement met) as the College Option requirement for transfer students with Associate Degrees in all majors. In addition to requesting a waiver for certain Pathways courses for BS in ECE students, we are requesting that the College Option for BS in ECE transfer students be changed as indicated below. *courses in red font are those for which we are requesting a waiver

The foundational course for Calculus I (MATH 20100) is Pre-Calculus (MATH 19500), and this course must be passed with a grade of C or higher in order to proceed to the next level. The foundational course for General Chemistry I (CHEM 10301) is Pre-Calculus (MATH 19500), and this course must be passed with a grade of C or higher in order to proceed to the next level.

RATIONALE: DRA 219, 375, and DRA 480 are being removed from the degree requirements (Required Courses) because our major’s numbers do not support running these courses and they are therefore an obstacle to graduation. DRA 375 is not being offered at this time. DRA 305 is being moved to the list of Required Courses because we feel that its content and goals should be central to the education of our majors rather than one of several possible choices they can make.
