Chair Andries observed that most of the admissions process should have already occurred for spring 2017. He also noted that the university has been discussing the restoration of deans. Dr. Obielodan responded that if deans return, we can update the catalogue. The reason for removing them now has to do with forms that need to be completed."

Based on feedback the committee received at the last Senate meeting, APC went back to the 2010-11 catalogue and added a couple paragraphs from that policy. President Sipes asked if adding in these paragraphs were the only differences from the item brought to the last Senate meeting. Dr. Kumar answered yes and pointed out that this addition gives control to instructors if they want to implement more stringent policies. A senator asked if it has been the university’s practice to fail students after three unexcused absences. A guest pointed out that APC’s addition says the instructor “may” fail the student, not “shall” fail the student. Chair Andries pointed out the policy is for unexcused absences, so students missing for issues such as sports would not be affected by this addition."
