FS 11/12-20*

PROGRAM IMPACTION FOR 2012-13, SUPPLEMENTAL CRITERIA – CRIMINAL JUSTICE

The Faculty Senate endorses the supplemental admissions criteria to be used by the Division of Criminal Justice during the 2012-2013 admissions cycle, contingent upon the Division of Criminal Justice presenting a viable plan to the Provost for implementation of those criteria, including the criteria pertaining to first generation college status, socioeconomic factors, or historically disadvantaged status. If such a plan does not include viable implementation of those specific criteria, the Faculty Senate endorsement is restricted to the other, objective supplemental criteria (those pertaining to academic standing, units, pre-requisite grades, and GPA) only.

Eligibility for admission to the Criminal Justice major is based on academic achievement. Before admission to the major, all applicants must meet the requirements described below:

a. Overall GPA of 2.6 or higher

b. Completion of 45 units

c. Completion of the following courses:

Criminal Justice courses completed with a grade of “C” or better:

CRJ 1, Introduction to Criminal Justice

CRJ 2, Law of Crimes

CRJ 4, General Investigative Techniques

CRJ 5, The Community and the Justice System

Applicants will be rank ordered based on their overall GPA and the department will admit as many students as there are slots available. For a small percentage of applicants, eligibility may be weighed alongside other criteria such as: first generation college status, socioeconomic factors or historically disadvantaged status. These supplemental criteria were developed and approved by the Division of Criminal Justice faculty at large on December 10, 2010 and are endorsed by the Chair, Dean and the Provost.

Carried.

FS 11/12-21A/Flr.

WAIVER OF FIRST READING OF FS 11/12-21

FS 11/12-21*

PROGRAM IMPACTION FOR 2012-13, SUPPLEMENTAL CRITERIA – HEALTH SCIENCE PROGRAM

The Faculty Senate endorses the supplemental admissions criteria to be used by the Health Science Program during the 2012-2013 admissions cycle, contingent upon the Health Science Program presenting a viable plan to the Provost for implementation of those criteria, including the criteria pertaining to first generation college status, socioeconomic factors, or historically disadvantaged status. If such a plan does not include viable implementation of those specific criteria, the Faculty Senate endorsement is restricted to the other, objective supplemental criteria (those pertaining to academic standing, units, pre-requisite grades, and GPA) only.

To be considered for admission to the Health Science program, all applicants must meet the following requirements:

(1) a 2.0 minimum GPA in overall Sacramento State units (for continuing Sacramento State students) or overall transfer units (for transfer students), and

(2) the completion of 45 units, and

(3) a course grade of C or above in all required pre-requisite Health Science major courses including BIO 25, BIO 26, CHEM 6A, PSYC 2, HLSC 50, and STAT 1 or the equivalents.

(4) HLSC 98, ProSeminar, can be taken prior or as a co-requisite to all required upper division HLSC courses, except for those HLSC courses that are designated as a GE offering.

All pre-requisite health major requirements must be completed prior to admission into the BS program. Eligible applicants will be admitted for available spaces within a specified concentration based on overall GPA rank ordering of such applicants. For a small percentage of applicants, eligibility may be weighed alongside other criteria such as: first generation college status, socioeconomic factors or historically disadvantage status.
