ACADEMIC STANDARDS COMMITTEE

Chair

Any Member - Recommendation elected by Committee - Two Year Term

Committee Membership:

Administrators (1) Classified (1) Faculty (3)

The administrator shall be the VP of Instruction or his/her designated representative. Faculty representation shall include the articulation officer and two other faculty members appointed by the academic senate. The classified member shall be a Miramar College evaluator.

Goals & Issues

The mission of the Academic Standards Committee is to review and adjudicate student petitions pertaining to college-wide academic requirements and requirements for majors without corresponding departments (e.g., selected studies, transfer studies.) The committee also serves as the reviewing and recommending body for the Academic Affairs Committee and Academic Senate on issues related to the implementation of college- and district-wide academic policy and procedure, evaluation of coursework from other institutions, and awarding of college credit for previous educational experience.

Procedures & Calendar

The committee meets as requested by the Miramar College evaluators, but at least twice per semester. The committee reviews all outstanding student petitions and acts on other matters related to its goals/issues at each meeting. Copies of student petitions are distributed to all committee members prior to the meeting at which they are reviewed. Student petitioners are invited to address the committee during the meeting in which their petitions are considered. The committee discusses and votes on each student petition individually. Decisions on student petitions are made by majority vote. As petitions, by definition, are requests for exceptions to existing college policy, there is no inherent right to appeal committee decisions.
