OGRAM OF STUDY.
\par 
\par Only degree requirements in effect within five academic years prior to your graduation date for a certificate may be used.  You are considered enrolled in your degree program when you complete the appropriate degree student registration pro
cedure.  If you do not enroll for a semester or more, or if you enroll through the non-degree process, you are not considered enrolled as a degree student during that time.  IF YOUR DEGREE PROGRAM IS DELIVERED COLLABORATIVELY WITHIN THE UA SYSTEM THEN THE
 CREDITS YOU EARN FROM EACH UA INSTITUTION WILL BE COUNTED TOWARD FULFILLMENT OF THE DEGREE REQUIREMENTS AND FULFILLMENT OF THE MINIMUM INSTITUTIONAL RESIDENCY REQUIREMENTS.

\par ======
\par 
\par The UAF Faculty Senate moves to endorse the Core Review Committee's recommendation for a university's Writing-Across-the Curriculum Program and curriculum specialist and recommends that the Provost council explore implementation of the proposal.
\par 
\par 
\par        EFFECTIVE:    \tab FY 2003
\par 
\par        RATIONALE:   \tab There has been a very high turnover of faculty 
\par \tab \tab teaching Writing Intensive courses, especially in the 
\par \tab \tab aftermath of the RIP program.  Examination of course 
\par \tab \tab syllabi this spring indicated that about half the "W" courses 
\par \tab \tab did not meet the minimum expectations for "W" \endash  at least 
\par \tab \tab not on paper.  Transitioning between instructors (passing 
\par \tab \tab of the baton) in these courses apparently has not gone 
\par \tab \tab smoothly.  The Core Review Committee believes quite 
\par \tab \tab strongly that students and instructors should not be 
\par \tab \tab punished for this oversight.  Instead, UAF needs to nurture 
\par \tab \tab faculty who are new to "W" requirements.  The best way 
\par \tab \tab to do this is through faculty development.  The 
\par \tab \tab establishment of this position would help mitigate the 
\par \tab \tab problem we have identified.

\par \tab WRITING-ACROSS -THE-CURRICULUM PROGRAM PROPOSAL
\par 
\par The Core Curriculum Review Committee recognizes the importance of the university's Writing-Across-the-Curriculum program and the need for students to work on their writing in all disciplines and at all grade levels.  Thus, to improve the effectiveness of 
t
his program, the Core Review Committee proposes that a faculty member from the English Department specifically be designated as the Writing-Across-the-Curriculum specialist.  This individual will receive a course-load reduction for coordinating the Writin
g Intensive courses (W), promoting Writing-Across-the-Curriculum on a university-wide basis, and providing workshops to faculty teaching these courses.
