Modifications in Deadlines for Payment of Tuition a n d for W i t h d r a w a l , Summer Session, Urbana (5) The chancellor at the Urbana-Champaign campus has recommended modifications in the summer session time schedule for the payment of tuition and fees and for withdrawal from the University. These modifications would be effective for the 1981 session. Essentially, the changes are to reduce slightly the allowable time for payment of tuition and fees and to increase slightly the time for withdrawal from the summer session. (At present deadlines are equivalent to those used for the fall and spring semesters even though the length of the summer term is approximately onehalf that of a semester.) The modifications are as follows: 1. Summer session students would be given six and one-half class days (presently ten) in which to provide for payment of their tuition and fees. However, their provisional registration status would be allowed for an additional seven calendar days (presently fourteen) to arrange for payment of tuition and fees with the payment of an additional $25 late registration charge. 2. Students would be allowed seven class days in which to withdraw from the summer session and still receive a full refund of tuition and fees assessed, except for the nonrefundable charge (present policy allows five days). This revision equalizes the refund consequences for those students leaving school either before or after paying tuition and fees. The executive vice president concurs in the recommendation. I recommend approval. O n m o t i o n of D r . D o n o g h u e , these m o d i f i c a t i o n s w e r e a p p r o v e d . Designation of Electrical Engineering Concentration, Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Chicago Circle (6) The Chicago Circle Senate has recommended the designation of an electrical engineering area of concentration for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering. The new designation is a combination of two existing areas of concentration now offered in the College of Engineering: communication engineering and electromagnetic and electronic engineering. The specialization in electrical engineering is, therefore, not a new offering of the college, but a "reasonable and moderate extension" of existing programs involving a somewhat different combination of current offerings. The new designation is in keeping with a recommendation made by the official accreditation body in engineering. (The two existing areas of concentration will continue to be offered until the combined area now recommended is accredited.)
