Guidelines on w88 slot courses

All of the following criteria should be met for w88 slot to be approved as crosslisted w88 slot between two or more departments:

• All departments have faculty members actively involved in the planning of the content and scheduling of the course. Exceptions will be granted only if adequate justification is provided. w88 slot should generally be reserved for courses taught alternately or co-taught by the w88 slot departments.
• All departments use the w88 slot as a requirement or an elective in their majors or minors.
• The w88 slot of the course is requested by, and approved by, all departments through the courses and curricula procedures applicable for the departments and colleges.
• The crosslisted w88 slot are identical in title, content, description, and where possible, course number. All w88 slot in the cross-list must have the same course numbering division classification, i.e. lower-division (100- and 200-level) or upper-division (300- and 400-level).
• Student Learning Outcomes should be the same for all offerings of a cross-listed w88 slot.

Independent study and special topics cannot be crosslisted with regular courses. However, departments offering special topics may take advantage of an existing course in another department by using the title of that course as title for a specific section of their special topics course. The department must notify the Office of Admissions and Records of the title of the specific section of the special topics course using AdAstra. This does not constitute a w88 slot.
