Section One: Baccalaureate Degree Curriculum – Senate Procedures Concerning Majors, Options, and Minors

1. Certificates

Certificates are issued in the name of the University for the successful completion of a degree program or a baccalaureate minor. The certificate to be awarded will be of standard format and will be provided by the Office of the University Registrar.

Transcripts will include a notation that a certificate was issued, where appropriate.

2. Consultation with Adviser Statement

Effective with the 1982-83 University Baccalaureate and Associate Degree Bulletins (currently called the Undergraduate Degree Programs Bulletin), the reference to “approval of the adviser” was reworded to read either “consultation with the adviser” or “departmental approval.” The change is consistent with Senate legislation regarding the role of the adviser. (SR:5/5/81; see also, Senate Policy 34-27)

3. Retention and Transfer Requirements

The request for more stringent entrance, transfer, and/or retention requirements must be submitted to the dean of the college. If approved by the dean, the Retention and Transfer Proposal Form (docx) is submitted to the University Curriculum Coordinator at the University Faculty Senate Office, 101G Kern Graduate Building, for review by the Subcommittee on Retention and Transfer. If approved, the more restrictive requirements are published in the Senate Curriculum Report and will be included in the Bulletin.

When enrollment controls are needed for administrative (resource based) purposes, Administrative Policy P-5 should be followed. If the administrative enrollment control is to be published in the Bulletin, the information must be sent to the University Curriculum Coordinator for publication in the Senate Curriculum Report. After being published to the University community for 30 days, the enrollment control information will be incorporated into the Bulletin listing.
