Code	Field	Old Value	New Value
APBAGC	Effective Catalog Year	Fall 2020	Fall 2021
APBAGC	Description and justiﬁcation of the request	1. Changed from 6 to 7 courses\\n2. Added SPED 6463 (new courses currently in approval sequence). Replaced SPED 6893 with SPED 6453.\\n3. Updated language about program requirements.\\n4. Added program goals and objectives\\n5. Added learning outcomes \| \\n 1. These changes are in response to the Association for Behavior Analysis International (ABAI) changing certiﬁcation requirements. These new requirements, specify that students must complete 315 content hours (or seven, three credit courses). \\n2. A seventh course to this sequence is being added in response to those new requirements. This new course (SPED 6463 Concepts and Principles in Behavior Analysis) will include the increased hours requirement for "Philosophical Underpinnings; Concepts Principles" now required by ABAI. SPED 6453 replaced SPED 6893 to align with requirements.\\n3. ABAI will accept a master's degree in any ﬁeld as a qualifying graduate degree, therefore, the text specifying a degree was changed.	Adding dismissal policies based no ethical/ professional grounds. \| Per Grad School's policy, these dismissal policies will have to be approved by Graduate Council and Faculty Senate. This will ensure that these policies are vetted and approved.
APBAGC	Reviewer Comments	agrifﬁn - Mon, 09 Sep 2019 14:07:53 GMT - Inserted 3 hours for SPED 6463, in order to total hours of program to reflect 21 credit hours. Also inserted scheduled program review date. ggunderm - Mon, 09 Sep 2019 17:34:00 GMT - CIED may want to consider changing the CIP Code on this program to (42.2814 - Applied Behavior Analysis - A program that focuses on the application of principles of learning and behavior to enhance the development, abilities, and choices of children and adults; and that prepares individuals to address the behavioral needs of individuals, especially those with developmental disabilities and autism. 42.2814 is a "psychology" CIP Code rather than an "education" CIP Code, but the department may consider this change. I'm not sure if that would change this from a "minor change request" to a "major change request". calison - Wed, 19 Feb 2020 21:24:23 GMT - Minor style changes.	agrifﬁn - Fri, 04 Dec 2020 14:13:49 GMT - The addition of the dismissal policy will require campus approval. agrifﬁn - Mon, 11 Jan 2021 16:09:14 GMT - Inserted appeal statement on behalf of the college. agrifﬁn - Mon, 25 Jan 2021 16:06:39 GMT - UCPC passed a motion to amend the program requirements statement of "Students who have been dismissed on the basis of unethical or unprofessional conduct may appeal the decision following the procedures outlined under the Academic Grievance Procedures for Graduate Students section of the Graduate Catalog of Studies" and replace it with: “Students who have been dismissed by the program on the basis of unethical or unprofessional conduct may appeal the decision following the procedures outlined under the Unethical and Unprofessional Conduct policy contained in the Graduate Catalog of Studies.”

ATTRMA	Description and justiﬁcation of the request	Deleted program prerequisites: EXSC 3393 and EXSC 3353\\nAdded program prerequisites: BIOL 1543/1541L, CHEM 1103/1101L or CHEM 1203/1201L, PHYS 2013/2011L, and PSYC 2003. \\n\\nAdded ATTR 5253 and increased overall program hours by 3 credit hours. \| These additional prerequisites are mandated by the commission on accreditation for athletic training education (CAATE).\\n\\nAddition of ATTR 5253 is also mandated by CAATE. The course is going through the approval process. The course is intended to provide content on professionalism and transition to practice in athletic training that is required by our accrediting body CAATE.	Drug test statement added application process. \| One clinical site used by the ATTRMA program now requires all of their employees to take a drug test. Upon review of best practices in Athletic Training and similar to other programs around the nation, it was decided that a drug testing policy for all students regardless of clinical site requirements is warranted. Retention policy revised. \| The revised retention policy will provide ATTRMA students with a clear pathway to resolve policy infractions.

CDISMS	Description and justiﬁcation of the request	Editing date of application deadline \| Date was changed from Feb. 1 to Jan. 15.	We added only the following to the degree requirements: All candidates are required to obtain a license for an electronic software program to track clinical experience throughout the program.\\n\\nWe added an academic retention policy as well as requirements for state licensure and ASHE certiﬁcation. \| This addition is needed so that the purchase of the software program to track clinical experience is reflected as a degree requirement. This will also assist our international scholars because this will allow for sponsors to be able to cover this cost. All students are required to complete 400 hours of clinical experience to meet ASHA standards for certiﬁcation. The software program to track their progress of clinical experience across the scope of practice of a Speech-Language Pathologist is a necessity.\\n\\nAcademic retention policy and requirements for state licensure and ASHA certiﬁcation are not new. They were already included in the student handbook. But in an effort to be transparent and to make sure that students are aware of all degree and licensure requirements, we thought it was necessary to add them to the catalog.

SPTSGC	Description and Justiﬁcation for this request	Teaming for Transition is an interdisciplinary training program enhancing the discipline and transition speciﬁc competencies of special educators and related service providers serving students will signiﬁcant disabilities. The focus of the graduate certiﬁcate is to provide opportunities to become a transition specialist by learning alongside students across disciplines; shared graduate courses in characteristics, transition process, family/ professional relationships, and legal aspects of special education; shared internship semester in a high need high school; participation in state-level and University transition summits; and collaborative, interdisciplinary assignments. Therefore, we are requesting a graduate certiﬁcate in transition. \| AR teachers are wanting coursework on how best to work with special education students who are transitioning out of high school. This graduate certiﬁcate will provide transcript veriﬁcation that they have completed 15 hours in teaching preparing people with disabilities for transition. \\n\\nThe Ofﬁce of Special Education (OSEP) has determined there is great need for professionals across disciplines that are prepared to work with young adults and adults with disabilities. OSEP has funded 1.1 million dollars to UA to educate professionals on the needs of people with disabilities transitioning to adulthood. This grant will fund professionals taking this coursework for 5 years. \\n\\nThe state of Arkansas has determined there is a great need for this program. Currently, the ADE employs transition specialists across the state; however, they have difﬁculty-ﬁnding professionals with transition credentials. Currently, Bonnie Boas is discussing the possibility of an endorsement in transition at the state teacher licensure level. Our program would be a model for endorsement.\\n\ \nArkansas is closing out the Promise Grant. Recommendations from the ﬁndings of the grant suggested that schools and teachers need education to assume the roles of the Promise grant connectors. The professionals we educate will be prepared to assume these roles.\\n	None
