Other committee business:

1- The Sustainability group spoke to the committee about the process of applying for sustainability status for a course.

2- There was further discussion on the additional 24 credit limit for a second degree but since there was not a full committee present at the meeting it was tabled to the January meeting.

3- Deb Hupcey wanted to discuss the course revison in credits/contact hours form and whether or not we need to include a section for course overlap as we have on the new or revised course form. The meeting ran over so this also has been tabled for discussion at the January meeting.
