The following are changes as of the date indicated (changes approved through Curriculum and Standards, Faculty Senate and approved by NMMI)
Changes are the result of adds or adjustments from the initial catalog and will identify date effective and responsible individual(s). However, working with faculty and departments over this year to update the course descriptions from course syllabi’s, which means course descriptions will change (to be more descriptive) over this school year.
Initial changes:
1. 8/11/2011 effective immediately: All college students must take an English course (0993/1033/1113) their first semester at NMMI based on the placement test unless they have completed Freshman Composition at another college. They must earn a “C” grade or better to meet graduation requirements and move on to courses that require ENGL 1113 completion. Cadets taking 0993 or 1033 must earn a “C” grade or Compass retest equivalence to move on to ENGL 1113.
2. 12/1/2011 Correction: high school marching band (Fall 2011) received 1/2 credit which included a physical education waiver. It was incorrectly entered as 1/4 credit marching band and 1/4 credit physical education credit. It was intended for 1/2 credit marching band/P.E. combined.
3. Curriculum and Standards and Faculty Senate added GVT 031 as a Capstone course, however, reversed that decision after the catalog was printed. GVT 031 is no longer a Capstone course (required to take from NMMI) for graduation.
4. Curriculum and Standards, and Faculty Senate changed the high school lab science requirement, effective immediately back to 3 years of science all of which must be a lab science.
5. All divisions are in a process of review of all course descriptions. New descriptions will appear in the 2012-2013 catalog.
