CHAPTER FOUR: 4220 ACADEMIC POLICIES AND REGULATIONS July 2002 4220
ACADEMIC CO-OPERATION BETWEEN UI AND NEIGHBORING INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION
PREAMBLE: This section outlines academic co-operation between UI and neighboring institutions of higher education: Washington State University and Lewis-Clark State College. Pertaining first only to Washington State, it was added to the Handbook in May of 1984 and in June of 1985 section D was added. In July 2002 the policy was generalized so as to include Lewis-Clark State College as well. For further information, contact the Provost's Office (208-885-6448) or the Registrar's Office (208-885-6731). [ed. 7-00, rev. 7-02]
CONTENTS:
C. Catalog Designation of Co-operative Courses D. Co-operative Offering of Standard-Numbered Courses
A. GENERAL POLICY. Departments are encouraged to establish and maintain cooperative academic efforts with comparable units at neighboring institutions of higher education: Washington State University (WSU) and Lewis-Clark State College (LCSC). The efforts may include, but are not limited to, the cross-listing of courses in the catalogs of the two universities, the inclusion of cross-listed courses in degree programs, and the exchange of faculty members on a semester basis.
B. PROCEDURES. B-1. Catalog Listing of Cooperative Courses.
a. Consult the appropriate faculty member or departmental administrator at WSU or LCSC.
b. Obtain approval for the cross-listing from the UI and WSU/LCSC departmental faculties concerned.
c. Send information on the course to be cross-listed to the UI associate registrar/catalog editor, who will submit it to the provost and, if appropriate, the vice provost for research and graduate studies for approval. Once approved, information on the course will be circulated to the UI faculty in a general curriculum-policy report and the cross-listing will be posted for inclusion in the next catalog.
d. Follow up as necessary to make sure that the request for cross-listing has been processed at WSU or LCSC in accordance with their regular procedures.
B-2. Including a WSU or LCSC Course in a UI Curriculum.
a. Get the cross-listing of the course approved as outlined in B-1.
b. Process the proposed curriculum change through the usual departmental, college, and university channels. C. CATALOG DESIGNATION OF COOPERATIVE COURSES. Cross-listed courses are designated in UI catalogs by the following prefixes to the course numbers:
D. COOPERATIVE OFFERING OF STANDARD-NUMBERED COURSES. Any course in the seminar, workshop, or special-topics categories (e.g., 400, 403, 404, 501, 503, 504) may be offered for a single term as a cooperative course with WSU or LCSC without specific approval. Moreover, a particular section of such a course may be offered cooperatively while other sections are not. (Each "section" of these courses is individually subtitled, i.e., is equivalent to a "subcourse.") The department offering the cooperative course or section notifies the registrar who will then have it appropriately identified in the Time Schedule.
