See the BA Degree (#3) and Non-BA Degree (#2) Requirements in the current Catalog, <a href="http://catalog.arizona.edu/2012-13/policies/secondlang.htm">http://catalog.arizona.edu/2012-13/policies/secondlang.htm</a>. This “C” grade requirement has been in the Catalog since 1998, but it hasn’t been programmed in our Academic Advisement Reports. Those BS-Degree students who earn a “D” in SPAN 102, for example, are satisfying the requirement. The UWGEC believes this is wrong—members want the “C” grade enforced per the policy.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Before enforcement begins, members want to find out how many currently enrolled students have satisfied the Second Language Requirement with a “D” grade. Would you please run a query on this for UWGEC? <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><b>Those students who have already satisfied the requirement with a “D” should NOT be penalized by the policy enforcement—effective with courses taken in Fall 2013, regardless of the student’s primary Catalog. <o:p></o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><o:p> </o:p></b></p><p class=MsoNormal>UWGEC also wants to add the “C” grade requirement to the 4<sup>th</sup> semester-level courses that satisfy the BA Degrees. Members believe that this was an oversight that needs rectifying. Therefore, I’ll add the “C” grade to the BA Degree Requirement #2, effective with the 2013-14 Catalog, so this change won’t apply to currently enrolled students following earlier catalogs.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Roxie Catts will distribute this policy enforcement update to UAAC members, who can then notify their students who haven’t completed the Second Language Requirement. Non-BA Degree students who take the 2nd-semester course at UA and earn a D in Summer 2013 should satisfy the requirement, as should BA Degree students who take the 4<sup>th</sup> -semester course.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>If you have questions about the enforcement of this policy, please let me know. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thank you,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Celeste<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>..............<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Celeste F.
