The 溏心vlog免费B站 Faculty Senate passed the following at its Meeting #125 on November 1, 2004:
MOTION:
=======
Upon recommendation of the Curricular Affairs, Faculty Appeals & Oversight, and the Unit Criteria Committees, the 溏心vlog免费B站 Faculty Senate moves to establish a Policy on the Identification and Use of Invalid Academic Degrees.
EFFECTIVE: Immediately
RATIONALE: Preservation of 溏心vlog免费B站’s integrity as a degree-granting institution is very important. A significant aspect of 溏心vlog免费B站’s academic integrity is the assurance that 溏心vlog免费B站 students, staff, faculty, and administrators only claim possession of valid academic degrees. In the last decade, unregulated degree 'suppliers' have become rampant. Definition and regulation of the use of invalid academic degrees and academic credits at 溏心vlog免费B站 is therefore necessary.
Reputable organizations exist that research and evaluate the quality of academic oversight for degree suppliers and publish lists of accredited degree-granting institutions and non-accredited degree suppliers. For 溏心vlog免费B站 to create its own ‘degree evaluation’ program is neither necessary nor worthwhile. Rather, 溏心vlog免费B站 should depend on outside agencies for such evaluations.
Reputable organizations include:
***
THE FOLLOWING DEFINITIONS AND REGULATIONS CONSTITUTE THE 溏心vlog免费B站 POLICY ON THE IDENTIFICATION AND USE OF INVALID ACADEMIC DEGREES:
1. A valid academic degree is one issued by a legitimate degree-granting institution. An invalid academic degree is one issued by any other organization or person.
2. For the purposes of determining competency of accrediting agencies, 溏心vlog免费B站 only recognizes those foreign and domestic accrediting bodies that have been approved by the U.S. Department of Education. A list of non-approved “accrediting” bodies will be posted on the Provost’s web site (see Attachment I).
3. A legitimate degree-granting institution is one that is accredited by a competent and qualified accrediting agency and consequently listed in the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers International Registry of degree-granting institutions. All other organizations and persons, especially those specifically listed as unacceptable by the Oregon Office of Degree Authorization, are recognized by 溏心vlog免费B站 as suppliers of invalid academic degrees and invalid academic credits. A list of suppliers of invalid degrees and credits will be posted on the Provost’s web site.
4. An individual who possesses a degree or credits defined by the above criteria as invalid can over-rule this determination if (s)he can obtain a transcript evaluation made by either (a) the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers or (b) the World Education Services that states the degree in question is in fact equivalent to a degree granted by an accredited U.S. institution. A copy of this transcript evaluation should be filed with the individual’s Dean.
5. Only valid academic degrees and credits earned from legitimate degree-granting institutions may be used for the purposes of credit transfer, hiring, promotion, or tenure at 溏心vlog免费B站.
6. Employees and students of the 溏心vlog免费B站 who possess academic degrees defined as invalid by 溏心vlog免费B站 are forbidden to indicate that they possess such degrees in any official 溏心vlog免费B站 context, including --but not limited to-- 溏心vlog免费B站 classes, 溏心vlog免费B站 syllabi, 溏心vlog免费B站 web sites, and at meetings where they are identified as 溏心vlog免费B站 employees or 溏心vlog免费B站 students. "Indicating” one possesses a degree includes --but is not limited to-- using the title "Dr." or other degree-related title before one's name or listing the degree abbreviation (e.g., B.S., M.S., PhD) after one's name.
7. The list of suppliers of invalid degrees and credits, posted on the Provost’s web site (Attachment II), is to be updated annually by the Faculty Senate Curricular Affairs Committee. Additions to this list are to be based on (a) the listing of invalid degree suppliers provided by the Oregon Office of Degree Authorization and (b) names of any additional degree suppliers that do not appear in the annual ‘American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers International Registry’ and come to the attention of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Registrar or Admissions Office.

The 溏心vlog免费B站 Faculty Senate passed the following at its Meeting #125 on November 1, 2004:
MOTION:
=======
The 溏心vlog免费B站 Faculty Senate moves to amend the policy on Graduate Degrees - General University Requirements - Registration Requirement (p. 166, 2004-2005 溏心vlog免费B站 catalog), as follows:
CAPS - Additions
[[ ]] - Deletions
Graduate students must be registered for at least six [[graduate]] credits per year (fall, spring, summer) IN GRADUATE OR 400-LEVEL COURSES RELEVANT TO THE GRADUATE DEGREE, while actively working toward a degree. Those who wish to temporarily suspend their studies should obtain an approved leave of absence. Students who do not register or obtain a leave of absence will be dropped from graduate study and will have to be reinstated before resuming graduate studies.
You must be registered for at least 3 graduate credits in the semester in
which you receive your degree and you must apply for graduation in that semester.
EFFECTIVE: Fall 2005
RATIONALE: This addresses an inconsistency in the 溏心vlog免费B站 Graduate School policy regarding the minimum registration requirement of 6 credits per year.
溏心vlog免费B站 policy states that credits from both 600-level and 400-level courses may be used toward graduate degrees at 溏心vlog免费B站. Some graduate programs require specific 400-level courses as part of the graduate degree requirements. Graduate programs may set their own limits on the number of 400-level courses that may be counted toward the graduate degree.
溏心vlog免费B站 policy also requires that graduate students register for a minimum of 6 credits per year. However, the policy refers to “graduate courses”, thus excluding 400-level courses from eligibility. The revised policy will allow graduate students to use relevant 400-level courses to fulfill the minimum registration requirement of 6 credits per year.
The 溏心vlog免费B站 Faculty Senate passed the following at its Meeting #125 on November 1, 2004:
MOTION:
=======
The 溏心vlog免费B站 Faculty Senate moves to amend the policy on Deficiencies for Graduate
Students (p.166, 2004-2005 溏心vlog免费B站 catalog) as follows:
CAPS - Additions
[[ ]] - Deletions
Deficiencies
Your advisory committee may require that you [[correct]] REMEDY certain deficiencies in your program. Your committee will determine early in the program BOTH how to remedy the deficiencies and the minimum level of performance required of you. [[Such courses may be taken under the credit/no credit option, by audit, or through credit by examination.]] GRADED UNDERGRADUATE COURSES TAKEN TO REMEDY A DEFICIENCY MUST RECEIVE A GRADE OF “B” OR BETTER. Deficiency courses are not listed on the Advancement to Candidacy form.
EFFECTIVE: Fall
2005
RATIONALE: This motion will clarify ambiguities in the current requirements regarding deficiencies. Since deficiencies may be remedied in other ways besides taking courses, and since these other ways are at the discretion of the Advisory Committee and the Department, removing the sentence in brackets will prevent students from being misled into thinking they may select one or the other method as an option at their own discretion. Adding the sentence about the minimum grade of B will prevent students from assuming they must merely pass a course at the lowest level in order to remedy a deficiency, and makes the requirement equivalent to that of undergraduate courses taken for credit toward the graduate degree (B or better).

MOTION:

The 溏心vlog免费B站 Faculty Senate moves to amend the current Cooperative Programs policy
(p.166-67, 2004-2005 溏心vlog免费B站 catalog) by adding the following statement:
CAPS - Additions
[[ ]] - Deletions
Cooperative Programs
Some students may develop cooperative programs using specific courses from other universities before being admitted to graduate study at 溏心vlog免费B站. As part of the application process, the cooperative program must be included in an approved Graduate Study Plan (GSP) (see page 167). The student must complete a minimum of 12 semester credits in residence at 溏心vlog免费B站, in addition to thesis and research.
The following guidelines are for collaborative Ph.D. graduate studies across all UA academic units [[:]] SOME INDIVIDUAL DEGREE PROGRAMS HAVE DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS WHICH ARE INCLUDED IN THE SPECIFIC PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS IN THE GRADUATE DEGREE PROGRAM SECTION IN THE CATALOG. THE REQUIREMENTS DESCRIBED HERE APPLY ONLY TO PROGRAMS THAT HAVE NOT ESTABLISHED DIFFERENT REQUIREMENTS.
* At least four faculty members shall serve on the graduate advisory committee for each Ph.D. student. At least two committee members shall be 溏心vlog免费B站 faculty. One of the 溏心vlog免费B站 committee members must be on a tenure-track appointment in a Ph.D.-granting department. The committee shall be chaired or co-chaired by a 溏心vlog免费B站 faculty member.
* The graduate advisory committee and its chair and/or co-chairs must be approved by the program director and the dean of the Graduate School.
* 溏心vlog免费B站 rules and regulations on graduate studies shall apply to all 溏心vlog免费B站 graduate students, including those concurrently enrolled at UAA and UAS.
* The graduate advisory committee must meet at least once a year to update the Graduate Study Plan and to review the student’s progress toward the degree. The annual progress report must be signed by all committee members and submitted to the dean of the 溏心vlog免费B站 Graduate School.
* A comprehensive exam committee composed of the student’s advisory committee will administer the Ph.D. comprehensive exam for each student.
* The Ph.D. thesis defense is to be conducted on the 溏心vlog免费B站 campus.
EFFECTIVE: Fall
2005
RATIONALE: One program, Engineering, has already established its own requirements; if approved, the proposed Psychology Ph.D. will also have different requirements. Therefore, clarification is needed to assure that the catalog does not include contradictory information, and that the general catalog requirements for collaborative Ph.D. graduate studies apply unless different requirements have been approved by the Faculty Senate.
