WWU Course Challenge (Language Courses) - Removal of Advanced Placement Language

Effective Date

ACC approved on October 22, 2024. Faculty Senate accepted on November 12, 2024.

Background

Last year, there was an interpretation of the Credit by Exam, Prior Learning and Advanced Placement policy that did not meet the letter of the rule. The WWU Advanced Placement provisions under the policy was only being used by the LLC department. The impacts on LLC students who enter at a 300 level could be addressed through a revision to the course challenge policy, as discussed at the October 8 ACC meeting. The revision requires concurrent removal of University Advanced Placement and Course Challenge language in the University catalog.

ACC Action

A motion was made of October 22, 2024 by Rebekah Paci-Green, and seconded, to remove the relevant language in the University catalog. The motion passed unanimously.
