Developed Campus-wide Procedure for Handling Emergency Withdrawals
This issue was discussed, and it was determined that a campus-wide policy would be
inappropriate. The consensus was that a written procedure would be more appropriate to assist those in need of an emergency withdrawal in completing the process. The new procedures was proposed and approved by the IFC at the May 2012 meeting.
Campus “Dead Week” Policy The issue was discussed, and representatives from the student government were invited to share their concerns. The student government indicated that they were not interested in pursuing this issue further, so no further action was taken or is warranted in the next year.
