Remarks IMPLEMENTED - Memo from University President Amacher dated April 7, 1993, states that this is "a viable solution."
Whereas It is essential that a university educate its students in a timely manner; and
Whereas Students who are forced to unexpectedly delay graduation stand to lose jobs and/or considerable income; and
Whereas The addition of one or two students to a single class results in a relatively small increase in workload for an instructor; and
Whereas Some departments on campus currently refuse to extend class sizes to allow graduating seniors to take a class that is needed to graduate.
Be It Further Resolved That All departments extend class size as required to allow graduating seniors to take a class that is required for graduation; and
Be It Further Resolved That To be allowed to add a class that is already full, the student must present the department with a Degree Plan Check form, signed by the Graduation Office, which indicates that the class in questions is required for graduation during the current semester.
