3. Old Business:  
 
Follow-up discussion on the Council’s interpretation of two questions on the program proposal form in CourseLeaf.
 
i. “Is this program interdisciplinary?”
 
Programs are interdisciplinary when an agreement exists between at least two departments/programs across multiple colleges/schools to collaborate on determining and managing curriculum requirements for an academic program.
 
ii. “Does this proposal impact any courses from another College/School?”
 
The current working definition for this question is when a course from another college is added or removed from core program requirements.
 
Should this also include:
a. Courses from another college added or removed from a list of electives?
b. Courses from another college rescheduled from one semester to another in the 8 Semester Degree Plan?
c. Another situation?
