EPCC POLICY STATEMENTS

University Restrictions on “Double-Dipping”

There is no University-wide policy prohibiting the double use of courses.   Programs may or may not allow “double-dipping” between their major and a second major, between their major and a minor, between their minor and a major, or between their minor and a second minor.

University Major and Minor Residency Requirement

All EOU minors require a minimum of 10 EOU credits in the minor; all EOU majors require a minimum of 20 EOU credits, at least 10 of which must be upper division, in the major.

Policy on Selected Topics courses (X10)

A Selected Topics course is, by definition, an experimental course to be offered a limited number of times.   In general, a Selected Topics course may be offered for up to 2 years, after which the program faculty must fill out an EPCC New Course Request form to add the course to the permanent curriculum. The request must then be approved by the Division (if appropriate), College, EPCC and Assembly.

A Selected Topics course with a specific discipline prefix (e.g., MATH, PHIL) does not need formal approval and is usually determined by the program faculty within program considerations.

A Selected Topics course with a prefix that is not specific to one discipline (i.e., HUM, SSCI, SCI) must have the Dean’s approval prior to listing the course in the schedule or offering the course.   The Dean will then have the course reviewed by the appropriate program faculty or Division.

Requests for General Education credit for Selected Topics courses must follow the same procedures as for all courses.
