b. Schedule
i. Marty invited Selase to come to UCF to discuss changing the course schedule beginning in fall 2011. We discussed earlier start to days, M/W and T/TH classes with Fridays saved for 2.5 hour classes, and more Saturday offerings.
c. LEP
i. Concern that changes are not funneling out to campus community.  Confusion persists regarding items including double dipping, capstone courses, and department role/participation.  Departments need notification that Tier I and Tier II courses cannot count towards the major. Clarification about how Tier III courses do or do not count towards a major is also needed.
ii. New Degree Evaluations for fall 2011 with LEP. Kim needs these early Feb.  Departments need to fill out the Degree Evaluation for Departments form found on the LEPC website and turn them in to Kim Laing.  UCF members should talk to chairs and encourage them to submit them their degree evaluations.
iii. LEP link under UCF shows courses being approved for LEP and is updated on a regular basis.
iv. Caps on Tier I/II - 23 proposed cap for Tier I (document called for 20), but no cap for Tier II released yet.
III. Approval of UCF minutes of December 16, 2010
