The Committee on Courses of Instruction, at its meeting on March 18, 1988, resolved to delegate authority to the deans to approve waivers of up to 0.50 of the required 120 graduation unit requirement, for unit shortages caused by any conversion of quarter units to semester units. (This authority had until then been restricted to shortages of 0.50 semester units at UCB as a direct result of the 1984 semester conversion.) The new policy expands the dean’s authority to accommodate transfer students.
