A list of students who are eligible for refunds has recently been obtained from the Cashier's Office and the Graduate School is working with that office, as well as the Financial Aid Office, to refund the tuition in the next few weeks to the students, colleges or financial aid sources that originally paid it. Dr. Michael J. Kocurek, Department Head in Wood and Paper Science, and Dr. Hasan Jameel, also a Professor in that Department, presented a proposal for a non-thesis, distance education master's program in Wood and Paper Science, to be effective Fall, 1999. A copy of the proposal was distributed, however, Dr. Kocurek brought a list of additions and corrections to be incorporated into the current draft. He will provide the Graduate School with a final version of the proposal prior to the next Board meeting. After the presentation, Board members discussed the proposal.
Action is scheduled for the next meeting.
