Both PHED 1506 and PHED 2506 were pulled from consent for corrections to the memo. There is a minor typo. Under “justification for a request,” the second instance of “2506” has been changed to “1506.” The corrected sentence now reads as follows: “There is an error in [the COR of] PHED 2506 in which it listed the prerequisite as PHED 1505 rather than 1506.”

On a motion by K. Bandy, seconded by M. Mayfield, and unanimously carried by all, the course revisions were approved.
