Chair Andries explained that two items from Math are returns: 16-17.18 MAT 111 Contemporary Mathematics The department is taking away MAT 172 and rolling it into MAT 111 instead of having two courses.
16-17.20 MAT 176 Accelerated College Algebra to MAT 115A Accelerated College Algebra The first time around, there were questions about whether or not the system could handle 115 and 115A, but the Registrar's Office has confirmed it could.
The items passed by unanimous vote.

The item passed unanimously.
This is a 12 credit hour certificate related to a grant. Classes had been created for it but were never offered.

The items passed unanimously.
