Statement of Faculty Senate Action:

APC Document #35 Removing Restriction on Converting a Minor into a Major

Effective Date: Fall, 1999

Delete: on page 44 under the heading "Declaration of Optional Minor," second paragraph, the last Sentence which reads

"Once a student has earned a minor in a particular department and graduated with that minor designation, he or she may not later earn a major in that same department."

Rationale:
The policy imposes an unfair restriction on UNCA graduates as the same restriction is not imposed on post baccalaureate students with degrees from other institutions.
