Hello everyone,

 

The System Rules Committee met last Friday, April 15, in Versailles.  The agenda included seven action items, all of which passed.

 

  1. Proposed Change Section VI Appendix A Guide for CLEP General Exams. The chart had not been updated for several years and the revisions are more in line with current curriculum.
  2. Proposed Change Section VI Appendix B Guide for Advanced Placement.  This change brings the KCTCS Senate Rules into compliance with Kentucky State law which requires all Kentucky public colleges to award credit for scores of 3 or higher on the Advanced Placement Exams.
  3. Proposed Change Section VI Appendix E d. Academic/Career Mobility Nursing Program.  This change affects Southeast Kentucky Community and Tech College who offer a bridge course.  The revision was submitted in order to be in compliance with the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission. 
  4. Proposed Change Section IV 3.9.1 Physical Therapist Assistant Program.  Among the several changes in this rule were the inclusion of the SAT (previously students who had only the SAT could not apply for the program); name changes for several colleges to reflect their new names, and course number changes to reflect their new numbers and prefixes.
  5. Proposed Change Section III 6.0 Courses Offered in Both the University of Kentucky and Lexington Community College.  This change reflects the agreement stating that LCC students who complete the associate degree program on or before August 31, 2010, shall have their degrees conferred by the UK Board of Trustees.  Lexington is “grandfathered in” (as we were before KCTCS) until 2010.  
  6. Proposed Change Section III 2.2. New Curriculum or Curriculum Modification.  This rule states “A list of all courses not offered by any KCTCS community college during a two-year period will be submitted to the Curriculum Review Committee for approval to be removed from the KCTCS catalog.”  This rule change came from Council.
  7. Proposed Change Section IV 3.19 Nuclear Medicine Technology Program.  The system guidelines for NMT that originated at Jefferson passed.  There was a question as to where the local guidelines were located, and I informed the committee that they will be voted on by our faculty at our next faculty meeting.

 

All of these proposals will be voted on by System Council in May.  In addition, the Nursing Rules Change for Jefferson (previously voted down by System Council) has been amended and will be before council again in May.

 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.  Thanks for your support this year; I have placed my “two-year dot” on E-bay if anyone is interested.  Opening bid is $1.J

 

Respectfully,
