CHANGES IN GENERAL REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION FROM
THE COLLEGE OF COMMERCE AND BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
(5) The Urbana Senate recommends adoption of the following general requirements
for bachelor's degrees from the College of Commerce and Business Administration
to replace existing requirements:
A total of 126 semester hours, excluding credit for physical education and basic
military, to be effective for all students entering the College after January
I, 1958.
A 3.0 or above average in the sophomore, junior, and senior courses (i.e., the
200- and 300-level courses as numbered in University catalogs) in the field
of concentration, to be effective for all students entering the College after
January 1, 1958.
A two-hour course in hygiene other than Hygiene 101, to be effective for all
students entering the College after January 1, 1958.
Each student's requirements for graduation shall be those in effect when he
first entered the College, provided he graduates within ten years of his
first entrance.
I concur.
On motion of Mr. Williamson, these changes were approved.
CHANGES IN REQUIREMENTS FOR GRADUATION FROM THE
COLLEGE OF FINE AND APPLIED ARTS
(6) The College of Fine and Applied Arts has recommended that graduation
requirements in all curricula be officially stated as follows:
Bachelor of Architecture —157 hours plus the required work in military training
and physical education
Bachelor of Fine Arts (in advertising design, industrial design, history of art,
painting, landscape architecture) — 122 hours plus the required work in
military training and physical education
Bachelor of Music—124 hours plus the required work in military training and
physical education
Bachelor of Science (in landscape operation, city planning) — 122 hours plus
the required work in military training and physical education
The effect of this is to reduce the number of credit hours required for
graduation, but without changing the military training and physical education
requirements, which stand. This is consistent with previous authorization of the
several colleges and schools to revise the statements of their graduation requirements
accordingly. Senate action is not required but the statement of the College
of Fine and Applied Arts has nevertheless been approved by the Urbana
Senate Committee on Educational Policy.
I concur.
On motion of Mr. Swain, these changes were approved.
FEE FOR REGISTRATION OF CANDIDATES FOR DOCTOR'S DEGREES
(7) A candidate for the doctor's degree who has passed the preliminary examinations
is required to continue his registration in the Graduate College until
he has passed the final examination, even though he may have completed the
total unit requirements and is taking no more graduate courses.
The Committee on Fees has recommended, and the Vice-President and
Provost has authorized, subject to confirmation by the Board of Trustees, the
establishment of a flat fee of $6.00 each semester ($4.00 each term at the Chicago
Professional Colleges) to be assessed each doctoral candidate, resident or
nonresident, who registers for zero credit in accordance with the Graduate
College requirement.
I concur.
On motion of Mrs. Holt, this fee was authorized.
SPECIAL APPROPRIATIONS FOR NONRECURRING EXPENDITURES
(8) The Committee on Nonrecurring Appropriations recommends assignments of
funds from the General Reserve for the following purposes:
i. Department of Zoology, remodeling in Vivarium Building $19 000 00
