I. Call to Order

The meeting was called to order at 9:35am.

II. Old Business

The standing committee met with Dr. Stephen Joyner from Academic Student Services and Kimberly Laing from the Registrar's Office to further discuss the issues involving the declaration of university minors and majors.

The standing committee was informed that it is possible for the Registrar's office to compose a query and generate a list of students with 9 credits of courses from a particular department through BRIO and notify departments for future advisement.  Also the standing committee was informed that first year students upon registration would declare an intended university major.  This intended major would eventually (if left unchanged by the student) extend to an actual declaration of a university major, making it unnecessary for students to fill out the change of major form to switch from an intended major to an actual declared major.

III. New Business

No new business was on the agenda

IV. Adjournment

The meeting adjourned at 10:50 am.
