I. Call to Order

The meeting was called to order at 9:40am.

II. Old Business

The standing committee consulted with Linda Cunningham and determined that there would not be a contractual issue requiring a side letter for the new HON 494 course to carry .5 credit for instructors.

The standing committee also determined that HON 494 (Honors Prospectus) carrying .5 credits should be created and replace departmental 499's.  HON 495 would then be
re-titled (Honors Thesis).  The standing committee determined to forward these recommendations to UCF.

III. New Business

The standing committee then discussed the topic of using electronic forms to monitor undergraduate majors, minors, and areas of concentrations and specializations within programs of study and majors.

The standing committee also discussed what would be the process of how the elections for the FYE committee would be conducted and then moved on for approval by the Faculty Senate.

IV. Adjournment

The meeting adjourned at 10:35 am.
