On a motion by Dr. Chambless, seconded by Dr. Wilder, the catalog changes for the School of Education, Department of Exercise Science and Leisure Management, were unanimously approved.

An even number indicates that a course so numbered is the second part of a two-course sequence and normally should be taken after the course to which the immediately preceding and adjacent odd number is assigned.
Course numbers have no reference to the semester in which the courses are taught.
Dr. Mattern reported that current course numbering does not follow this prescribed sequence in the catalog and moved the removal of this paragraph. The motion was seconded by Dr. Conlon and unanimously approved by the Council. Mr. Helmert suggested that the University accept academic restarts from other colleges and universities if the student transferring into the University officially invoked the academic restart policy and would have qualified for an academic restart at the University of Mississippi. Mr. Helmert agreed to draft a statement to be included on the agenda for the next meeting. Dr. Mattern pointed out that in the 2000 catalog, correspondence courses will be included in the computation of GPA for honors.
