Committee Business

/ Review minutes from April 2015
Minutes are good and are located in MyMCC, under the Resources tab
Clarify SS category for both the AA and AS degrees
Confusion throughout the system regarding the SS requirements for the AA and AS degrees. To clarify, for both degrees the requirement for two additional courses in SS can include on course from HI1. This means that they can have their required history course AND a history course can meet one of the course requirements for the additional SS category.
New form preview
Everyone approves of the new form format that uses pages and will make it easier to review the forms.
English test score cheat sheet?
The Matrix hasn’t been created yet, but Carol did make a great list of our programs and what their English/Math requirements are. Everyone is asked to look at that list and send us any changes or errors that you find. We need to make sure this information is accurate so we can update it in our catalog and other areas.
Next meeting, September 2015
