Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): An issue arose as students went to register for this course (offered Winter term, annually). For the Winter of 2012 we added pre-requisites (ASL 8 and Introduction to Interpreting). Unfortunately, this eliminated the eligibility of transfer students who were already accepted into our interpreting program, as well as Deaf students who may not have taken ASL 8 as they are native users of the language. Additionally, it was set up to be a co-occurring pre-requisite, wherein students could be enrolled in ASL 8 and Deaf-Blind Interpreting at the same time, but Introduction to Interpreting is only offered fall and spring--further limiting the access some students would have in their ability to register for the course. We would like to have it state: Pre-requisite: Introduction to Interpreting. Co-occurring: ASL 8, or by instructor approval. I hope that clarifies it! |

Comments: This proposal, intended as a clarification of prerequisite/co-requisite requirements, needs to be rewritten as a prerequisite & course description change proposal. The Current Course Description field should provide the existing catalog description and the New Course Description field should contain the revised description (with the new statement of prerequisites and co-requisites) to be included in the catalog. |
