Committee for College-wide Requirements (CCR)

In fall 2011 the Provost, working with the Executive Committee of the Faculty Council, initiated formation of a body that would compile, review, and synthesize material generated for the Integrated Core Curriculum (ICC) in order to develop the final details of the ICC structure. This committee, approved by the Faculty Council in September of 2011, was named the Committee for College-wide Requirements (CCR). Point one of the CCR charge reads: “Proposals for college-wide requirements would normally be developed by a task force appointed by the Provost/VPAA or Faculty Council. In some instances CCR may be asked to develop a program that has been designed conceptually by such a task force and approved in principle by the faculty.” In other words the CCR is tasked with taking curricular designs and suggestions from faculty in all schools, individually and through their respective curriculum committees and deans, and proposing a detailed implementation plan including associated academic policies. One member of the CCR serves as a faculty liaison to the Academic Policies Committee in part to help articulate the curriculum approval process. The CCR represents all schools through its elected members, who have the responsibility for defining the final curricular elements of the (ICC). The CCR compiles, reviews, and synthesizes college-wide general education requirements and structural elements of the ICC based on input from faculty committees and task forces from all schools. The CCR has authority to approve (or recommend to the Academic Policies for approval) elements of the implementation of the ICC.

ICC Policies

AP/IB/CLEP Policy

This policy was accepted by the APC-P on November 16, 2012. The policy was amended and approved by the full APC on December 14, 2012 and passed by Faculty Council in January, 2013.

II. Credit from Other Institutions and Through Advanced Placement/International Baccalaureate/College Level Examination Program

This policy does not apply to students admitted to Ithaca College as transfer students.

Students may apply credits earned at other institutions or granted on the basis of AP/IB/CLEP scores to fulfillment of the following ICC components: First Year Composition, Quantitative Literacy, Diversity, and Writing Intensive. Such credits may also apply to the 12 Complementary Liberal Arts credits depending on school and department requirements. The degree to which such credits could apply to a specific ICC requirement is dependent on a match between the Ithaca College courses meeting the requirement and the credit granted for courses completed elsewhere and on program-specific requirements for the 12 Complementary Liberal Arts credits.

Students may not apply credits earned at other institutions or granted on the basis of AP/IB/CLEP score or any other standardized examination program from which Ithaca College awards credit toward fulfillment of the Themes and Perspectives or ICC Capstone components of the ICC.
