Page 3 of 4

Note: 60-‐104 or 60-‐106 and 60-‐205 count as a ‘science pair’ (see requirement Major (b) above) and will be included in the calculation of the major average. A.2 MINOR COURSE CHANGES REQUIRING ADDITIONAL RESOURCES OR AFFECTING DEGREE REQUIREMENTS If this is a minor course and calendar change (usually noted on a Form E) requiring additional resources or affecting degree requirements, please provide the current course information and the proposed new course information by cutting and pasting from the current undergraduate or graduate web calendar and clearly marking deletions with strikethrough (strikethrough) and additions/new information with bolding and underlining.

Examples of minor course changes include: deleting courses, course description changes, pre/anti/co-‐ requisite changes, contact hour/lab requirement changes, course title changes, renumbering courses, and/or cross-‐listing courses. Minor course calendar changes, which do not require additional resources or do not affect degree requirements, should be submitted on a Form E. N/A B. RATIONALE Please provide a rationale for the proposed change(s). Other requirement (b) changes -‐ The list of courses not able to count towards a BSc was updated to remove 59-‐110 (course description does not state that it cannot count toward a BSc) and to add 59-‐191, 59-‐201, 66-‐110 and 66-‐111. Calculation of the major averages changes – The course list has been updated here to be consistent with the current undergraduate calendar as courses that cannot be used to fulfill the major requirements of the Department or School offering the course. A note was added to make it clear that 60-‐104, 60-‐106 and 60-‐205 count in the major average because they are listed on the DARS as a ‘science pair’ under the major requirements (see Major requirement (b) in the program description).
