III.            Flag Proposal Deadline

Flags to be effective Summer 2015 or Fall 2015:  December 16, 2014

Lack of sufficient QR flags on courses intended for majors outside of Natural Sciences:

Current QR-flagged courses for non-science majors include:

CH 304K

M 302, 303D, 408K, 316, 316L

PS 303, 304 

PHY 302K, 302L

SDS 302, 328M

Suggest we consider adding QR flags to other courses on the Natural Science & Technology Part I and II lists. Candidates include:

AST 301, 309G, 309L, 309N, 309R, 309S (AST 307 has QR flag already)

BIO 301D, 301E, 301L, 301M, 305E, 305F, 307D, 309D, 309F

CH 305

CS 302

MNS 307, 308

NSC 306J, 306K, 306L, 306M

NTR 306

Flag proposals do not go through C&C committee. They are proposed online by faculty.
