voting member of the Council from the

Two-Tries Policy in the College of Engineering (D
1271). The item was introduced as emergency legislation
at the regular meeting of the 2000-2001 Faculty Council
on May 7, 2001. The Council voted to approve the legislation
after deleting the second (and last) sentence: "No student
may enroll in any such course more than twice." Thus the
approved policy consisted of the following sentence: "An
undergraduate in the College of Engineering may not enroll
in any course required in his or her engineering degree
plan more than once without written consent of an adviser
in his or her department." Transmitted to the president
through the provost on May 9, 2001. Approved by the president

Two-Tries Policy in the College of
Engineering Chapter of The Undergraduate Catalog, 2000-2002.
Posted on the Faculty Council web site on April 20, 2001.
On May 4, 2001, Katy B. Zarolia, a voting member of the
Council from the Cabinet of College Councils, filed a
protest to the proposed Two-Tries Policy in the College
of Engineering (D
1271). The item was introduced as emergency legislation
at the regular meeting of the 2000-2001 Faculty Council
on May 7, 2001. The Council voted to approve the legislation
after deleting the second (and last) sentence: "No student
may enroll in any such course more than twice." Thus the
approved policy consisted of the following sentence: "An
undergraduate in the College of Engineering may not enroll
in any course required in his or her engineering degree
plan more than once without written consent of an adviser
in his or her department." Transmitted to the president
through the provost on May 9, 2001. Approved by the president
through the provost and transmitted to the executive vice
chancellor for academic affairs on June 15, 2001.
