or group primarily concerned with any examination will be asked to suggest to
the Administrative Committee of the Graduate Council the names of persons to be
included on such examining committees, but appointment shall be made by the Dean
of Graduate Studies, who will advise all parties concerned. (Am. 1/26/71; 1/24/72;
Renum. 12/80) (B) Advancement to Candidacy. Immediately following the successful completion
of the qualifying examination, each student should apply on the form provided
by the Dean of Graduate Studies for advancement to candidacy for the degree of
Doctor of Philosophy. If the department or group so recommends, a student who
has been officially advanced to candidacy may be awarded the degree, Candidate
in Philosophy. (App. 1/26/71; Renum.
12/80) (C) Dissertation and Final Examination. (Renum.
12/80) (1) A dissertation on a subject chosen by the candidate,
bearing on the principal subject of study and of such character as to show ability
to prosecute independent investigation, must receive the approval of the special
committee in charge of the dissertation and of the Graduate Council before the
degree is recommended. Special emphasis will be placed upon this requirement,
and the degree will in no case be given merely for the faithful completion of
a course of study, however extensive. (2) The dissertation must be in a form acceptable
to the Graduate Council. (3) Not later than three weeks before the proposed
date of the final examination under Plan A (see (4) below) or not later than three
weeks before the end of the quarter in which the degree is to be conferred under
Plan B or Plan C, the candidate shall file with the Dean of Graduate Studies one copy of
the dissertation (the original if typewritten) approved by the committee in charge.
An abstract of the dissertation must be filed by the same date. The Administrative
Committee of the Graduate Council may, in special cases under Plan A, authorize
the taking of the final examination before the dissertation is completed. (4) The candidate shall be subject to the provisions
of either Plan A or Plan B or Plan C, as outlined below, depending upon the department or
group primarily concerned with his or her field of study. Each department or group
is required to adopt one of the two plans. Plan A. The Administrative Committee of the Graduate
Council shall appoint a committee of five members, which shall determine whether
the candidate has met the requirements for the degree, in accordance with the
following procedure. (a) Three of the members of the committee shall be
designated to guide the candidate in his or her research and to pass on the merits
of the dissertation. (b) The entire committee shall conduct a final oral
examination, which shall deal primarily with questions arising out of the relationship
of the dissertation to the general field of study in which the subject of the
dissertation lies. (c) Admission to the final examination may be restricted
to members of the committee, members of the Academic Senate, and guests of equivalent
rank at other institutions. Plan B. The Administrative Committee of the Graduate
Council shall appoint a committee of three members, which shall guide the candidate
in his or her research and shall pass upon the merits of the dissertation. This
committee shall arrange for such conferences with the candidate as may be necessary
for the complete elucidation of the subject treated in the dissertation. After
presentation of the dissertation, but before the final action has been taken on
it, the candidate may, at the discretion of the committee, be required to defend
it in a formal oral examination. (App. 1/26/71) Plan C . 521. Initiating, changing and canceling courses of instruction shall require the approval of the Faculty of the College/School initiating the action and the Committee on Courses of Instruction. Graduate courses shall, in addition, require the approval of the Graduate Council. 522. Baccalaureate Degree Requirement in General
Education. (A) Each candidate for a baccalaureate degree in
the College of Agricultural and Environment Sciences, the College of Engineering,
and the College of Letters and Science at UCD shall satisfy a General Education
requirement: (1) The three components of General Education shall
be: Topical Breadth, Social-cultural
Diversity, and Writing Experience. (2) The topical breadth component shall be separated
into three subject matter areas; science and engineering, social sciences, and
arts and humanities. (3) A candidate shall satisfy the topical breadth
requirement in each subject matter area that does not include the candidate's
major. (4) A minor or second major in a subject matter area
that does not include the first major shall satisfy the General Education requirement
in the area to which it is assigned. (5) Multidisciplinary individual majors may satisfy
the General Education topical breadth requirement
in one or all subject matter areas, as determined in each case by the faculty
of the undergraduate colleges. (B) The General Education
requirements shall be satisfied as follows: (1) Each candidate shall satisfy this requirement
by passing three approved General Education topical breadth courses in each subject
matter area (specified in A.2) that does not include the major, three approved
courses in writing experience, and one approved course in social-cultural diversity. (2) A course offered toward satisfaction of the General
Education requirement in one component (specified in A.1) may also earn
credit toward satisfaction of requirements in either or both of the other components. (3) Courses that satisfy requirements in the candidate's
major may also earn credit toward satisfaction of the General Education requirements
in the subject matter areas of social-cultural diversity and writing experience.
Courses taken to complete major requirements may also earn credit toward
satisfying the requirement in the area of topical breadth when they are classified
in subject matter areas that do not include the major. (C) Transfer students who have successfully completed
the Transfer Core Curriculum (TCC) or the Intersegmental General Education Transfer
Curriculum (IGETC) prior to entering UCD are exempt from all General Education
requirements. (D) Students transferring to UCD who have completed
neither the TCC nor IGETC curriculum shall satisfy all General Education requirements,
but may offer previously completed course work toward satisfaction.
The Committee on Courses of Instruction may delegate to the Deans of the
undergraduate colleges the authority to determine the suitability of previously
completed course work for satisfying General Education requirements. (E) The faculties of the undergraduate colleges shall
determine the appropriate subject matter area classifications of their respective
majors and minors. (F) All courses offered in satisfaction of the General
Education requirement shall be taken for a letter grade. (G) No course passed prior to satisfaction of the
University Subject A requirement shall be offered toward satisfaction of the General
Education requirement in the writing experience component. (H) A course in the topical breadth component is
characterized by the following features: (1) It addresses broad subject matter areas that
are important to a student's general knowledge. (2)
It takes a critical analytical perspective on knowledge, considering how
knowledge has been acquired, and the assumptions, theories, or paradigms that
guide its interpretation. (3) It requires readings from a range of sources. (4) The Committee on Courses of Instruction may certify
for General Education credit a course that does not embody all these features
if, in its judgment, the course has other qualities that make its inclusion in
the program desirable. (I) A course in the social-cultural diversity component
is any course that deals with issues such as race, ethnicity, social class, gender,
sexuality, or religion. (J) A course in writing experience normally requires a minimum of five pages of writing in a block, which will be evaluated not only for content, but also for organization, style, use of language, and logical coherence. The Committee on Courses of Instruction may, however, approve for General Education credit some other form of satisfying the writing requirement if, in its judgment, the alternative meets the goals of encouraging students to think critically and communicate effectively.
523. Substitution of Course
Sequences and Clusters in the General Education Requirement. (A) The Undergraduate Council's
Committee on General Education may approve introductory sequences of courses that
are not approved General Education courses as a substitute for any single introductory
course in the same area of General Education. Necessary features of such sequences
are: (1) The sequence must extend over at least two quarters; (2) The courses in the sequence
must have explicit methodological and conceptual content; and (3) The courses in the sequence
must present material that is coherent and cumulative. Normally, the courses involved
will bear the same number, and course A will be prerequisite for course B, and
so on. (4) The Undergraduate Council's
Committee on General Education may authorize substituting clusters of two or three
certified introductory General Education courses for the three General Education
courses required in a given area, as specified in DDR 522, provided that: (a) At least two courses demand
the levels of student participation and expository writing that characterize non-introductory
General Education Courses. (b) The instructors in charge of the courses certify that there is substantial and explicit coherence of content and approach among the three courses, and that instructors will remain in active consultation to assure that coherence is maintained. 524. Assignment of Majors
to General Education Areas (A) The faculty of each college
offering a baccalaureate degree shall assign each of its major programs to one
or more of the three areas of General Education. The Undergraduate Council's Committee
on General Education must approve the assignment of a major to more than one General
education area. In each case in which the area of assignment may vary, depending
on the particular courses selected by the student, the college shall indicate
to which areas the majors may be assigned, and shall determine the particular
area for each student in their major programs. (B) A student's General Education
requirement shall be based on his/her major at graduation. In a case in which
a student is certified as meeting the requirements of majors assigned to two separate
General Education areas, the student shall meet the General Education requirement
in the third area and any additional requirement imposed by the college(s). (C) The colleges shall provide,
for dissemination and publication, list(s) showing the assignment of their majors
to General Education areas (En. 6/7/83). 525. Certificate of Completion
The Department of Education, in the College of Letters and Science, and
the Department of Human & Community Development, in the College of Agricultural
and Environmental Sciences, with the approval of the Davis Division Graduate Council
are authorized to issue Certificates of Completion to persons who have fulfilled
the requirements of the various curricula for candidates for teaching credentials.
A typical form of the certificate to be issued is as follows: UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA DAVIS This is to certify that ____________________
has completed in this institution all requirements including the course of study
and training prescribed by the California State Board of Education and by this
institution for the ___________________ and is recommended to the
California State Board of Education for such credential. Major or Principal Field of
Study: Minors: Date:
_____________________________ Chairperson, Dept. of Education ______________________________ Chancellor at Davis _______________________________ President of the University
(A) The instructor in charge
of a course is responsible for determining that enrolled students have completed
the prerequisite course(s) listed in the General Catalog. Students who have completed
equivalent work may be admitted to the course at the instructor's discretion. (B) The instructor in charge of a course may request that the Registrar drop from the course any student who has enrolled without completing the published prerequisites if, in the judgment of the instructor, failure to have completed that work seriously reduces the probability that the student will successfully complete the course. An instructor who intends to exclude a student for this reason must notify the student before taking action. (Am. 4/19/99; effective 9/1/99). 528. Credit by Examination (A) The privilege of taking
an examination for credit usually will be granted only to students (undergraduate
and graduate) who are in good standing and are registered in the current quarter
(Academic Senate Reg. 540 and 542). Application shall be made on a petition form
available from the Registrar. (B) Credit by examination
may be applied for in any course listed in the current General Catalog. The application
must be approved by the instructor who will administer the examination and by
the dean of the student's college or school, in the case of an undergraduate student,
or the Dean of Graduate Studies, in the case of a graduate student. The instructor
will specify the examination date. (C) The application, if approved
by the appropriate dean, is forwarded to the Registrar, who issues to the student
a permit for the examination and sends notice of the action to the instructor
or examiner by whom the examination is to be conducted. The examination may not
be taken until the permit has been issued. (Am. 6/9/81) (D) Credit by examination
is not available (a) if such credit would duplicate credit presented by the student
for admission to the University; (b) in elementary courses in a foreign language
which is the native tongue of the applicant; or (c) in subjects for which the
University has no competent examiner. (E) Credit earned by examination
may not be applied toward satisfaction of the General Education requirement. (En.
10/28/86) (F) The final result of a
student's work in an examination for credit shall be reported to the Registrar
in terms of the following grades: A, B, C, D, F, P, NP, S, U The "I"
grade (incomplete) is not acceptable. Optional P/NP or S/U grading is subject
to approval by the appropriate dean. If a student does not take the examination
on the specified date and has not made prior arrangements with the instructor
to change the date, the instructor shall write "Enrolled - No Work Submitted"
on the grade report. (Renum. 10/28/86)
530. The instructor in charge
of a course shall normally have primary responsibility for determining the use
and appropriateness of guest lecturers. In the event a guest lecturer is to appear
on several occasions in a course, the Davis Division Committee on Courses of Instruction
shall be notified and shall determine whether such participation involves substantial
responsibility for the content and conduct of the course.
If such is the case, the quest shall participate only if the Chancellor
authorizes an appropriate academic title for the guest. (En. 5/29/69) 531. Each variable-unit course
must be actively supervised by an officer of instruction who holds a lecturer
or professorial title. (Am. 1/24/72) 532. Academic Credit for Internships (A) A maximum of 15 units
of internship courses, whether taken in this Division or elsewhere, may be counted
toward the 180 units required for graduation (Am 1/14/72; 4/23/79; 4/25/83; 6/05/01).
Internships for which academic credit toward the baccalaureate degree may be earned
shall have the following features: (1) Students are able to apply the concepts and methods of at lest one academic discipline to an appropriate work experience or setting. (2) Students are able to grow intellectually by the extension of general intellectual tools of one or more academic disciplines to the workplace. Work that is clerical in nature or that involves routine maintenance or service responsibilities shall not be judged appropriate for awarding academic credit. (3) Faculty sponsors are able
to assess the quality of academic work completed by the student. (B) A student for whom academic
credit earned in an internship may be awarded: (1) Possesses a suitable background in the discipline in which academic credit is sought; (2) Possesses the background or skills necessary to successfully complete the requirements of the internship; (3) Will experience significant intellectual growth as a result of the internship and the associated academic work, and; (4) Has completed at least
84 units toward the degree. No student shall receive University credit for an
internship numbered 192 unless he/she has completed a minimum of 84 units. (C) When it is determined
that an internship and student are appropriate for academic credit, arrangements
for receiving it shall include the following elements: (1) Prior approval by the appropriate Program Manager in the Internship and Career Center (ICC) certifying that the internship situation is appropriate for awarding academic credit. The student shall submit a written description of the proposed internship to ICC, accompanied by a letter from the sponsor that describes the student's duties and responsibilities, hours, and the sponsor's expectations. Evidence must be provided that the student intern will be directly supervised by a career professional that is aware of the University's standards for earning academic credit. (2) Prior approval by a faculty sponsor whose background and expertise are related to the area of the internship and appropriate for supervision of the student's activities. (3) Adherence to departmental guidelines that set forth requirements for granting academic credit. Requirements may vary depending on the nature of the discipline, but generally it is expected that a student will complete reading assignments and a research paper or project that requires the student to relate the academic discipline to the internship experience. The paper/project shall demonstrate the student's ability to perform critical reasoning and/or methods of research appropriate to the discipline. Student participation in a concurrent seminar or discussion section may also be required, but student achievement must be documented. (4) Appropriate faculty/student
contact that includes a preliminary conference to set forth the faculty member's
expectations and requirements for satisfactory completion of the internship. (D) The number of units awarded
shall be contingent on the degree of commitment to the internship project, and
departmental requirements shall adhere to that principle (EN. 6/04/85). The basic
formula is one unit of credit per three hours per week commitment for a ten-week
period; thus: A533. A student registered in the Independent
Study Program may enroll for a maximum of 15 units of special study courses in
one quarter. (App. by Assembly 11/28/79) 534.
Registration in variable-unit courses for undergraduate students must be
approved by the chairperson (or his or her equivalent) of the department concerned.
The approval must be based on a written proposal submitted to the chairperson
by the instructor in charge. (En. 1/24/72) (A) Special Study courses
are research-oriented, variable unit courses of study designed for one student
under the supervision of one faculty member. No student shall receive academic
credit for a special study course numbered 194H or 199 unless he/she previously
has completed at least 84 units of credit toward the degree. (B) With the approval of the
Department Chair an instructor may provide a special study course to an interested
student. The content of the course shall not duplicate the content of an existing
course, and the amount of work proposed shall at least equal that required for
a regularly offered course of corresponding academic unit value. Grading in undergraduate
special study courses shall be on a "Passed/Not Passed" basis unless
the instructor has approval for letter grading from the Committee on Courses of
Instruction of either the college or school and the Division. (C) Requests for letter grading
in special study courses must be received by the Divisional Committee on Courses
of Instruction no later than the fifteenth day of instruction in the quarter in
which the course is offered. (D) Special study courses
for undergraduates shall be numbered 99, 199, or 194H (En. 1/24/72) 536. A student who has completed
a second or more advanced year of high-school-level course work in a foreign language
in tenth, eleventh, or twelfth grade shall be awarded credit for Course 1 (or
its equivalent) in that language only if he or she takes the course on a Passed
or Not Passed basis under the option authorized by Davis Division Regulation A545(A),
subject to the limits specified in Davis Division Regulation A545(B). (Am. and
effective 2/14/78) 537. Undergraduate Course Outline
Requirement (A) By the end of the first week of instruction, the
instructor will provide students with a course outline containing information
regarding the anticipated: topical
content of the course, amount and kind of work expected, and examination and grading
procedures. (B) By the end of the first week of instruction, the
office hours of the instructor will be made available to the students. (En. 3/13/95
and effective 9/1/95) 538. (A) Except under certain specified circumstances,
Senate Regulation (SR) 772 requires that final examinations be given in all undergraduate
courses. Final examinations may be
given in graduate courses. (Am. 4/26/82) (B) At the instructor’s option, a final examination in any course other than an on-line course may be wholly or in part of the take-home type. All examinations for on-line courses must be proctored to ensure that the person taking the examination is the student receiving credit. In accordance with SR 772(A) in undergraduate courses, the writing time of a take-home final examination and an in-class final examination together may not exceed three hours. (Am. 5/4/04) (C) In each course for which a final examination is required, each student shall have the right to take a final examination (or, when the instructor has so opted, to submit a take-home examination) at the time and on the date published in the Class Schedule. For on-line courses, the University Registrar will offer to the instructor of each on-line class the option to have the final in the last time slot on the last day of finals or at a time on dead day to be negotiated between the University Registrar and the instructor. Students shall be notified of the time and place of the final on or before the first day of instruction. (Am. 5/4/04) (D) In each course (other than in an on-line course) for which a midterm examination is required, each student shall have the right to take a midterm examination (or, when the instructor has so opted, to submit a take-home examination) during one of the scheduled meetings of the class published in the Class Schedule. (Am. 4/26/82; 5/4/04) |
