Wilson and M. Mazzeo will be presenting the new pre-core requirements for undergraduate admissions to UCAP and would like UPC’s input on if there is any flexibility on these requirements if UCAP has an issue with having a 300-level course in the pre-core (STT 315). UPC recommends that IF necessary to pass this initiative, STT 315 could be removed and instead be made a prerequisite for select courses as a backup plan.

Old Business None.
