The UAF Faculty Senate passed the following at its Meeting #37 on
October 19, 1992:
MOTION PASSED (unanimous)
==============
The UAF Faculty Senate moves to amend the Transfer of Credit
policy as follows:
[[ ]] Deletions
CAPS Additions
Credit accepted for transfer to UAF which has been earned at other
regionally accredited institutions, through military educational
experiences or credit accepted by special approval, is considered
transfer credit. Where possible, transfer credit is equated with UAF
courses.
THE UNIVERSITY WILL AWARD COURSE CREDIT FOR SPECIFIED
NATIONAL AND STATE AUTHORIZATIONS, CERTIFICATES,
CREDENTIALS, AND/OR EXAMINATIONS. THE OFFICE OF ADMISSIONS
AND RECORDS WILL MAINTAIN AN APPROVED LIST OF THESE TOGETHER
WITH APPROPRIATE COURSE EQUIVALENCIES.
EFFECTIVE: Spring 1993
Upon Chancellor's approval
RATIONALE: The proposed change in Credit for Prior
Learning policy which implements an accreditation
recommendation from the Northwest Association of
Schools and Colleges would jeopardize existing
agreements with state and national programs which
award credit for certain certificates and exams. This
change in transfer policy removes credit earned from
these agreements from the Credit for Prior Learning
category to Transfer Credit classification and thus
preserves the agreements.

EFFECTIVE: Immediately

modifications in the list of professional programs
qualified for transfer credit maintained by the Office

Date: 10/20/92
Approved: J. Wadlow, Chancellor Date: 10/21/92
APPROVAL PROCESS FOR AMENDING LIST OF
PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS QUALIFYING FOR TRANSFER CREDIT
The Office of Admissions and Records shall maintain a list of
national, state and professional certificates, examinations,
authorizations and/or credentials (hereafter collectively referred to
as "certifications") which are approved for transfer credit under
revised University Transfer Credit Policy. Each such certification
shall be accompanied by a listing of appropriate course
equivalencies.
The initial list of authorized programs will be approved by the
Senate on recommendation of the Curricular Affairs Committee.
Thereafter, the following process will be utilized for amending the
list:
Proposed amendments shall be forwarded by cognizant deans
to the Senate where they will undergo review identical to
that for substantive undergraduate program and course
changes, i.e., unanimous approval by the Curriculum Review
Committee subsequent to publication and an appropriate
comment period (currently 10 days). Irreconcilable
disagreement on the part of this committee or between the
committee and the proposers shall be referred to the
Curricular Affairs Committee for final resolution. Proposals
will then be forwarded to the Office of the Vice Chancellor
for Academic Affairs.
Proposals for additions to the list shall include:
A. Complete name of sponsoring professional organization
and titles of specific certifications qualifying for
transfer credit.
B. Rationale, including types of training and/or experiences
required for each certification and its relationship to
university studies.
C. Expected budgetary impact.
D. List of UAF course equivalencies and corresponding
credit hours to be used in awarding transfer credit.
