- Late-Start Classes Working Definition DISCUSSION
- Committee members had a robust conversation writing a working definition of late-start classes. Some topics of concern were what term to use for late-start classes, using the term class versus course, and whether a semester-length course is 16 or 17 weeks in length.
- The committee chair will bring another working definition in April.
Other:
- Videos highlighting student success classes are in the works, and the committee looks forward to reviewing them.
