The Registrar’s Office is permitted to use a five-digit numbering system beginning with the digit 9 to list transfer courses that transfer in as generic courses.
For current 200 level, general education courses not open to sophomores that will be listed at the 3000 or 4000 level under the new numbering system, the following line may be added by departments “open only to juniors or higher” when this change is consistent with current course requirements. Schools and Colleges may submit a list of courses requiring this addition to catalog copy directly to the Registrar’s office, submitting a copy to the Senate Curricula and Courses committee for informational purposes only.
Procedures will be as follows: Once approved by the appropriate School or College, each department is to send to the Office of the Registrar a list of all courses for which they want to preserve the current restrictions on the status of the student population who may register for a course. The Office of the Registrar will preserve these settings in the computer system and will add any necessary wording in the print and on-line catalog.
Senate actions relating to academic records, 2005-2006

October 10, 2005

The Senate recommended that the Provost consider revising the requirements for Minors by removing the existing 3-credit restriction placed on the application of transfer of credits for courses equivalent to University of Connecticut courses towards Minors. This recommendation was subsequently accepted by the Provost.
The Senate adopted the recommendation of the Second Language Report from the General Education Oversight Committee regarding University's second language requirement: “A student meets the minimum requirement if admitted to the University with three years of a single foreign language in high school, or the equivalent. When the years of study have been split between high school and earlier grades, the requirement is met if the student has successfully completed the third-year high school level course. With anything less than that, the student must pass the second semester course in the first year sequence of college level study in a single language.”
Senate actions relating to academic records, 2004-2005
Skill codes applied under the previous General Education System that were not approved for the new General Education System will be removed from all courses beginning with the 2005-2006 Catalog. The Registrar's office may choose to attach temporary skill code designations to courses or modify catalog copy to indicate their role in the old system, for the benefit of students selecting courses to fulfill the previous general education requirements.
All students entering the University or changing school or college within the University beginning with the Fall semester 2005 are expected to meet these General Education Requirements. Bearing in mind the principles outlined in this document, the Dean of the admitting School or College may make substitutions to the requirements for students who entered higher education prior to fall 2005 and on a continuing basis for other students. Each Dean will submit an annual report summarizing this activity to GEOC by the end of the Spring semester each year
Degrees will be conferred three times annually: on Commencement Day in May and December, and on August 24 following the summer sessions . Students who do not complete work for the degree by one conferral date may qualify for the next conferral date by satisfactorily completing all graduation requirements. Students who are candidates for May or the following August may participate in the May Commencement. Students who are candidates for December and those who will complete their requirements in the following January may participate in the December Commencement.
When a student repeats a course after receiving a degree, the student's transcript will indicate a grade, but no registered credit, for the repeated course. The grade and registered credit recorded for the course prior to receipt of the degree shall continue to be included in the GPA and credit calculations.
The Senate approved the new course numbering system. Departments are to submit the new numbers to the Registrar by November 2005. The new numbers will go into effect with the 2007-2008 Catalog. See the Course Renumbering web site for more details.
GEOC approval is required before offering a General Education course for a duration of four weeks or less.
