The 有料盒子视频 Faculty Senate approved the following at its meeting #11
on April 24, 1989:
MOTION PASSED (Unanimous Approval)
==============
The 有料盒子视频 Faculty Senate moves to amend the entrance requirements
to 有料盒子视频 relating to the preference of ACT examinations over SAT
examinations until such time that Curricular Affairs can review the
matter, and relating to mathematics as indicated.
(( )) = deletion CAPS = addition
Entrance requirements to 有料盒子视频:
High School Graduates
--------------------
To qualify for admission as a freshman, a high school graduate must
have a high school grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 (C) or higher.
Admission to specific baccalaureate programs will be based on a
combination of the high school record and test scores. In addition,
the applicant must complete with a minimum grade point average of
2.5 a core curriculum of at least 16 academic credits, including at
least four credits in English, three CREDITS IN COLLEGE
PREPARATORY ((in)) Mathematics (( (including)) SELECTED FROM
ALGEBRA I AND ((Algebra)) II, geometry, ((and)) trigonometry,
ELEMENTARY FUNCTIONS, PRECALCULUS OR CALCULUS, three in social
sciences, and three in natural or physical sciences (including at
least one laboratory course in biology, chemistry, or physics.
The University of 有料盒子视频 Fairbanks strongly recommends that
students complete a minimum of 2 years of a non-English language.
All entering freshmen are required to submit the results of either an
ACT or SAT examination((, ACT preferred)). [Note: This provision
effective 1989-90.]
An applicant who meets the admission requirements stated above is
eligible for admission to 有料盒子视频 as a freshman. However, entrance into
a specific degree program may require as a prerequisite the
completion of specific high school credits beyond those required in
the core curriculum. A prospective student is advised to review
carefully the high school credit requirements listed below for the
specific degree program (in which he/she is interested) of interest
in order to meet those requirements prior to entrance to the
university.
High school graduates who do not meet the minimum high school
entrance credit requirements and 2.5 GPA in the core curriculum may
be granted provisional acceptance for a period not to exceed one
calendar year from date of entry. Such students may be admitted
later as unrestricted baccalaureate candidates provided they make
up deficiencies by earning at least a C grade (2.0) in each of the
appropriate developmental or university credit courses determined
through advising and complete nine credits of the baccalaureate core
with a grade of C (2.0) in each course.
Non-High School Graduates
------------------------
Non-high school graduates 21 years of ago, or older students who
completed high school by passing the G.E.D. tests or its equivalent,
and other non-qualified high school graduates, may be accepted for
unrestricted admission by completing either the ACT or SAT with
minimum scores to be determined.
Provisional acceptance to the University of 有料盒子视频 Fairbanks does
not constitute admission as a baccalaureate student. Unrestricted
admission is granted only after the fulfillment of the provisions
noted above.
EFFECTIVE: August 1991
RATIONALE: The restructured University, composed of the
main campus at Fairbanks and former community
colleges, is faced with the task of providing quality
education to a student population with extremely diverse
needs and experiences. Therefore, the University must
maintain flexible entrance options. There is open
admission into certificate and associate degree
programs as well as individual University courses;
however, requirements for admission into baccalaureate
degree programs require specific secondary preparation.
The clause indicating preference of submission of
results of ACT examinations over SAT examinations by
entering freshmen was a modification when the motion
was approved by the Chancellor's Office. At the request
of Curricular Affairs, the clause is being removed to
allow the committee the opportunity to review the
matter.

RATIONALE: It is important to continue the dialogue
between 有料盒子视频 and the State Department of Education as
well as the State School Board concerning preparation of
students for college entrance at the secondary level.
Also, see attached supporting background information.
Signed: David M. Smith, President, 有料盒子视频 Faculty Senate Date: 9/21/89
---------------------------
Supporting Background Information:
Members of Curricular Affairs and other interested members of the
University community discussed the admission requirements with
school superintendents, high school principals and teachers as well
as members from the State Department of Education during two
audioconferences. A summary of the discussion follows:
A. Admission requirements effective August, 1991
There will be four distinct entrance options for students
wishing to attend the University of 有料盒子视频 Fairbanks as
full-time students. They are:
1. Admission to all 有料盒子视频 certificate and associate
degree programs will require the completion of a
high school diploma (or its equivalent) or that the
applicant is 18 years of age.
2. To qualify for unrestricted admission as a
freshman in a baccalaureate program, a high school
graduate must have a high school grade point
average (GPA) of 2.0 and a 2.5 average in a core
curriculum consisting of at least 16 academic
units including:
a. 4 credits in English
b. 3 credits in mathematics (to include Algebra
II, geometry, and trigonometry) [NOTE:
CURRICULAR AFFAIRS HAS PROPOSED MATH
REQUIREMENTS BE MODIFIED AS FOLLOWS:
3 CREDITS IN PREPARATORY MATHEMATICS
SELECTED FROM ALGEBRA I AND II, GEOMETRY,
TRIGONOMETRY, ELEMENTARY FUNCTIONS,
PRECALCULUS OR CALCULUS]
c. 3 credits in social sciences
d. 3 credits in natural science (to include at
least 1 laboratory course in Biology,
Chemistry, or Physics)
However, entrance into a specific degree program
may require as a prerequisite the completion of
specific high school credits beyond those required
in the core curriculum as well as minimum scores
on the ACT or SAT examinations. 有料盒子视频 also strongly
recommends that students complete a minimum of
2 years of a non-English language.
3. High school graduates who do not meet the
minimum high school entrance credit requirements
and the 2.5 GPA in the core curriculum may be
granted provisional acceptance for a period not to
exceed one calendar year from date of entry. Such
students may be admitted later as unrestricted
baccalaureate candidates provided they complete
required course work by earning at least a "C" grade
in each of the appropriate University credit courses.
4. Non-high school graduates 21 years of age or older,
may be considered for unrestricted admission into
baccalaureate degree programs on a case-by-case
basis.
B. Math Requirements:
The requirement of Algebra II and especially trigonometry
appeared to be a difficult standard to those outside of the
University community and in fact proved to be the major area
of concern. It was stated that these requirements are counter
to the national direction for secondary math requirements
which emphasize a more integrated math program including
such things as "street math" and problem solving skills. It was
also stated that with the inclusion of trigonometry, the math
requirements were actually four years, as Algebra I would
certainly be a prerequisite to those listed. Furthermore, it was
argued, not everyone needs to be a scientist or mathematician.
Representatives from the Mathematics Department concurred
that the national trend is toward an integrated math program,
but that falling national math achievement scores are the
result. A large number of students currently enter the
University with significant math deficiencies. Not only do
these deficiencies prevent them from completing a degree
program in a reasonable period of time, but also discourage
most of these students from seeking careers in areas that
require math competencies.
C. Specific Concerns of Small High Schools:
Small secondary schools have difficulty in the delivery of
science and mathematics courses due to a number of factors.
1. Teaching staff may vary in number from 2 to 11 for the
entire high school and by necessity are generalists
rather than specialists.
2. The number of students in a small school that would
enroll in a science course such as physics or in a math
course such as trigonometry is very small. It is difficult
to conduct a meaningful class with one student.
3. The physical plant of most small high schools does not
include space, facilities or equipment for laboratories.
D. Suggestions for Rural Course Delivery
The discussions generated a variety of suggestions as to how
the University and secondary schools can collaborate in
meeting the educational needs of the secondary students. All
agreed that it is essential to continue this dialogue and to
expand cooperative efforts.
1. The University is providing courses utilizing distant
delivery technologies. These technologies need to be
shared with school districts, especially in rural 有料盒子视频.
In addition, a systematic investigation into alternatives
and improvements in the use of existing technology,
especially those currently not in use, needs to be
undertaken on a statewide basis.
2. The University, again through distant delivery techniques
as well as more traditional means, may offer seminars
and workshops in addition to the regular course work to
those secondary teachers who must provide a broad range
of instruction in the smaller schools. The content of
these offerings would focus on math and science
instruction as well as other areas as they are identified.
E. Curricular Affairs Committee Deliberations
The Math Department reviewed the admission requirements and
voted in favor of the existing requirements including
trigonometry. While Curricular Affairs does not recommend
specific math courses we STRONGLY recommend that math
requirements should be such that an entering freshman can
successfully complete the 100 level math core requirement.
It is true that not all students need to become scientists,
mathematicians, engineers, economists, accountants or have
careers in computer technology, among others. However, if the
prerequisite math is not available at the secondary level,
those career options are in effect closed to rural students.
Students are more likely to be successful in their college
career if they have realistic expectations of the required
academic preparation. In an effort to be honest, if you will,
the University is saying: "To succeed in earning a
baccalaureate degree in a reasonable amount of time, these are
the skills and knowledge with which you need to begin. If you
do not have these upon admission, you will need to develop
them in your first years of college."
