588 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [June 19 1. A minimum grade of C must be earned to receive credit under the option. This option may not be exercised in courses used to satisfy the University's general education requirements, or in courses specifically required by the student's college for graduation, or in courses specifically designated by the curriculum as satisfying the student's major or field of concentration; also, it may not be used for a fourth semester foreign language course when taken to fulfill the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences graduation requirement. 2. Part-time students are eligible to participate in this option, taking a maximum of one course in any one semester. 3. Full-time students are permitted to take a maximum of two courses in any one semester under the option. 4. The revised option will be designated the credit/no credit grading option to become effective in the fall 1974, or as soon thereafter as possible, with the current regulations continuing until that time. Due to the nature of the changes and the date at which the changes were presented for approval, the Chancellor atUrbana-Champaign recommends that the earliest possible date for implementation of the revisions be January 1975. The Vice President for Academic Development and Coordination concurs in the recommendation. The Executive Committee of the University Senates Conference has advised that no other Senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval. In the discussion of this recommendation, it was understood that the administration would prepare a full evaluative report of pass/fail options on a University-wide basis at the end of a two-year period ending March 20, 1976. On motion of Mr. Howard, this recommendation was approved. ADDITIONAL HOSPITAL AFFILIATIONS FOR THE SCHOOL OF BASIC MEDICAL SCIENCES.

On April 21, 1971, the Trustees authorized the execution of affiliation agreements with Burnham City Hospital in Champaign; Carle Foundation Hospital and Mercy Hospital in Urbana; and the United States Veterans Administration Hospital in Danville — and agreements were executed with these institutions. Sixteen medical students were enrolled in the School of Basic Medical Sciences at Urbana in the fall of 1971, and the hospitals listed above were used by these students for part of their educational experience.
