Statement of Faculty Senate Action:

 

APC Document  25:                              Changing Advanced Placement Credit for Chemistry

 

 

Effective Date: Fall 2006

 

1.         Delete: On page 28, the entry for Chemistry

 

            Add:     On page 28, in place of deleted entry:

 

                        Chemistry         4, 5            3                 CHEM 132

                                   

Impact:  Saves department resources and improves the student experience by preventing unprepared students from advancing into the curriculum too quickly.

 

Rationale:  Too many students who are currently placing into or out of CHEM 144 are not doing well because they are not adequately prepared for chemistry at UNCA. This change prevents students from advancing beyond their abilities when they arrive at UNCA.
