THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH CAROLINA AT ASHEVILLE
                         FACULTY SENATE 

                                                             
Senate Document Number   3496S
Date of Senate Approval  2/8/96

Statement of Faculty Senate Action:

   APC Document 32:  Catalog Changes for Second Baccalaureate
                      Degree Requirements

Effective Date:  Because this is a clarification of the existing 
     policy, it is effective pending approval by the APC and
     Faculty Senate.


Add:      In Catalog 1995-96, on page 36, at the end of number 3
          of        the GRADUATION entry, the following:    

          UNCA graduates must complete 30 additional hours after
          the initial degree was awarded.


Delete:   In Catalog 1995-96, on page 54, the first sentence of the
          entry Second Baccalaureate Degree, which reads:

          This student is considered a transfer student and must
          meet all the conditions of transfer students, with the
          additional stipulation that at least two-thirds of the
          courses required in the major department must be taken at
          UNCA.



Add:      In place of the deleted sentence:

          This student is considered a transfer student, even if
          the initial degree was earned at UNCA, and must meet all
          the conditions of transfer students, with the additional
          stipulation that at least two-thirds of the courses
          required in the major department must be taken at UNCA.


Rationale:  Many of our students are returning to UNCA to
     complete the requirements for a second baccalaureate degree. 
     These students have had some difficulty interpreting the
     graduation requirements for this classification.  This is an
     attempt to clarify the current practice.

     
Impact:  None.  These additions are in response to student and
     faculty requests.
