December 13, 2005. Revised January 6, 2006.
The "Proposed pre-requisites" (the rightmost column below) was adopted by the CSS faculty, January 13, 2006.
Currently, there are inconsistencies between the prerequisites for "new curriculum" courses in the documents that voting faculty used in passing this new curriculum, official catalog copy of undergraduate courses, and the registrar's CSS course descriptions on the UWT website.
This document has two purposes. The first is to reconcile the differences in the documents that the voting faculty approved. The second is to place additional prerequisite on some of the entry level courses that were assumed to be in place due to admissions requirements for a junior/senior institution that can no longer be taken for granted when freshmen begin to be admitted.
The documents that are taken as "source" or "primary", i.e. those documents that contain policy as voted on by CSS faculty, are the prerequisite chart from page 1 of the powerpoint slides written by Donald Chinn, 2) the syllabi for each of the courses in the Core for the new curriculum, and 3) the new/change course forms submitted to the UWT Curriculum committee. All of these primary documents can be found at: S:\Institute_of_Technology\General\Curriculum\New BS Curriculum and S:\Institute_of_Technology\General\Curriculum\New BS Curriculum\curriculum committee. Unfortunately, there are discrepencies between these documents. These discrepancies are noted below. Further, these documents assume that all entering students satisfy all admissions requirements for entering juniors, which is not always the case.
Policies currently in the official catalog and UWT website are taken as "derived" documents; where they diverge from the source documents, they are considered in error.
