O n motion of Mr. Howard, this recommendation was approved.

Board of Trustees minutes, July 21, 1983, pages 299-300.

Subject Requirements, Admission of Freshmen, Chicago

(16) The University Center Senate, Chicago, has approved the reestablishment of two high school subject requirement patterns for the admission of freshmen. Currently, beginning freshmen must present 16 units of high school credit for admission to University Center, three of which must be in English. No other high school subjects are required for admission; rather, each of the colleges recommends to its applicants the completion of certain high school courses that will best prepare them for the academic programs of their chosen college. The reestablishment of required high school subject patterns is consistent with the steps University Center has taken over the last few years to enhance the possibility of academic success for a larger percentage of its undergraduate student body. These steps anticipate the nationwide trend, as reflected in the recent reports of national studies of the state of education in the public schools. Upon the senate's recommendation and with the concurrence of the chancellor, I propose that the patterns of college preparatory subject requirements as presented in the following be approved effective fall 1986 and published in the University of Illinois at Chicago Undergraduate Study. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no further senate jurisdiction is involved.

On motion of Mr. Stone, this recommendation was approved. High School Subject Patterns
