Graduate Course Proposal Form Submission Detail - PHY6645
Tracking Number - 2907

Edit function not enabled for this course.

Current Status: Approved by SCNS - 2012-12-12
Campus: Tampa
Submission Type: Change
Course Change Information (for course changes only): The only change here is to make PHZ 5115 a pre- or co- requisite. Students have been taking the present course before our "math methods" course. This negatively affects their performance in the present course. The change at hand is therefore designed to streamline student success, by ensuring they take PHZ 5115 prior to or while taking the present course.
Comments: to GC 10/31/12. Update Pre-Req only. GC approved 11/15/12. To USF Sys 11/15/12. to SCNS 11/26/12. Approved effective 1/1/13

  36. Attendance Policy: Course Attendance at First Class Meeting – Policy for Graduate Students: For structured courses, 6000 and above, the College/Campus Dean will set the first-day class attendance requirement. Check with the College for specific information. This policy is not applicable to courses in the following categories: Educational Outreach, Open University (TV), FEEDS Program, Community Experiential Learning (CEL), Cooperative Education Training, and courses that do not have regularly scheduled meeting days/times (such as, directed reading/research or study, individual research, thesis, dissertation, internship, practica, etc.). Students are responsible for dropping undesired courses in these categories by the 5th day of classes to avoid fee liability and academic penalty. (See USF Regulation – Registration - 4.0101,

    http://usfweb2.usf.edu/usfgc/ogc%20web/currentreg.htm)

    Attendance Policy for the Observance of Religious Days by Students: In accordance with Sections 1006.53 and 1001.74(10)(g) Florida Statutes and Board of Governors Regulation 6C-6.0115, the University of South Florida (University/USF) has established the following policy regarding religious observances: (http://usfweb2.usf.edu/usfgc/gc_pp/acadaf/gc10-045.htm)

    In the event of an emergency, it may be necessary for USF to suspend normal operations. During this time, USF may opt to continue delivery of instruction through methods that include but are not limited to: Blackboard, Elluminate, Skype, and email messaging and/or an alternate schedule. It’s the responsibility of the student to monitor Blackboard site for each class for course specific communication, and the main USF, College, and department websites, emails, and MoBull messages for important general information.
