During this time all departments on campus received an email stating the change and were to contact Angela if there was a challenge. She never received an email challenging. </p><p>3.2 Catalog and Pre-requisite Change- CL - Math 141- Fundamentals of College Algebra</p><p>The waiver is done by the math placement score through PeopleSoft. </p><p>The committee discussed why the proposal listed the course component as “Seminar” for 4 credits. Angela Harlan commented she put it in this way due to the way 25 Live looks for classrooms based on class and room size. Jodi Hare-Paynter brought a copy of the PeopleSoft Course Section description and coding. Jodi will be requesting a meeting with FP&M (Facilities Planning and Management) to discuss creating a setup of guidelines for class and room size based on requests received from the Higher Learning Commission. After further discussion, the committee and Angela asked Becky Pfeifer to change both Math 140 and 141 currently set as seminars in CourseLeaf now should be changed to Lecture. </p><p>4.

Adding Cross-Listing, Catalog and Grade Basis – CL - SOCWORK 321 – Immigration Today: Individual, Community, and Global Perspectives</p><p>V. Other Curricular Items </p><p>VI. Discussion of CourseLeaf: progress, feedback, workflows, consultation process, other?</p><p>Becky Pfeifer discussed the graduate workflow updates that will be put into effect this next week. CourseLeaf developers are currently working on the following: effective term is currently being set to where it appears at the “Curricular Committee Secretary,” Special and Travel Courses are showing as dual-listed, we have items coming through as red boxed/required that shouldn’t be, and the unrequisites field is going to be allowed for use since we found that the unrequisites are being pulled in the cross-listening area of the form and are being marked in red and lined out when editing a course. Becky also informed every one of the findings of the Mac Laptop/CourseLeaf testing using Chrome. Chrome seems to work the best for people using Mac Laptops. </p><p>Liz talked about using the course picker in the Program form and how it can be used to move courses from one category to another within the program, but she noticed after moving items there is no red and green markup. Liz plans to follow-up with Melissa Thoma regarding this matter. Angela Harlan is working on a program for Math and is going to test this theory, will notify Melissa Thoma and Becky Pfeifer of her findings. </p><p>VII. Other questions or comments?</p><p>Page 4 of 5 A. Suggestion for relocating UCC meetings to a more comfortable room (Richard Cummings). This is an item for discussion for this meeting with possible decision in one of the next UCC meetings.</p><p>Richard Cummings presented pictures of Hyland 4303 and another room we could use for our meeting. The rooms are already scheduled for us to use for the year. Richard said tours are available and we can discuss more at next meeting. </p><p>VIII.
