MONTANA
BOARD OF REGENTS OF HIGHER EDUCATION
Policy and Procedures Manual
SUBJECT:
ACADEMIC AFFAIRS
Policy 301.5.2 - Outdated
Coursework
Effective March 17, 2005; Issued April 15, 2005
Board policy:
2)
guarantee that any postsecondary coursework taken within fifteen (15)
years of being admitted or readmitted to the campus will be included in the
transfer analysis of general education coursework.
3) guarantee that any postsecondary coursework taken within fifteen (15) years of being admitted or readmitted to the campus will be included in the transfer analysis of elective coursework.
Coursework that falls outside these guarantee periods may be included in the evaluation, at the discretion of the individual campuses. Since it is a discretionary decision, it cannot be challenged by students.
Individual programs in the Montana University System
may request a stricter standard for outdated coursework.
1) Such requests must be
approved by the Montana Board of Regents.
2)
If a program is duplicated throughout the Montana University System, all of
those duplicated programs must agree to the stricter standard as part of the
documentation submitted to the Board of Regents for approval. For instance, if one computer degree program on a campus
requests a stricter standard, all computer degree programs of a similar nature
must request the same standard.
The
provisions of this policy will also govern the evaluation of “outdated”
classes that have been completed at the institution doing the evaluation.
