628 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [May 17 paring for study in the College of Medicine. However, major fields may be_ in the humanities, the fine arts, behavioral, biological or physical sciences. Mathematics through calculus is especially recommended for those anticipating advanced work in basic or clinical research. The proposed revision would become effective for students seeking admission in September of 1973. The University Committee on Admissions has endorsed the proposal. The Chancellor at the Medical Center and the Executive Vice President and Provost concur. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no other Senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval. On motion of Mr. Pogue, this recommendation was approved. CHANGE IN NAME OF T H E C U R R I C U L U M IN MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY, MEDICAL CENTER (24) The Senate at the Medical Center campus has approved a recommendation from the School of Associated Medical Sciences that the name of the Curriculum in Medical Technology be changed to the Curriculum in Medical Laboratory Sciences. The change is proposed in order to provide an administrative mechanism whereby the School of Associated Medical Sciences can respond to the increasing demand for specialists as well as generalists (medical technologists) in clinical laboratory medicine. Examples of specialties to which immediate attention would be given are cytotechnology and nuclear medicine technology. Other possible specialty areas are immunohematology, clinical microbiology, and clinical chemistry. These several specialty areas would be incorporated into a single administrative unit designated "Curriculum in Medical Laboratory Sciences," with appropriate options to be selected by students. The Chancellor at the Medical Center and the Executive Vice President and Provost concur. The University Senates Conference has indicated that no other Senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval. On motion of Mr. Swain, this recommendation was approved. REFUNDS OF T U I T I O N AND FEES (25) The University Committee on Fees recommends a change in the present policy concerning refunds of tuition and fees to students who withdraw from the University or reduce their programs to a lower fee assessment range. Board of Trustees action on February 21, 1962, specified that a refund of the full amount of tuition and fees assessed — except for a nonrefundable charge — be made to students who withdraw during the first ten days of instruction, and that a refund of one-half of the amount of tuition and fees — less the nonrefundable charge —be made to students who withdraw after the tenth day of instruction but during the first half of the term. The Committee now recommends that, effective for the Fall 1972 term and thereafter, full refund minus the nonrefundable charge be continued for students who zvithdraw during the first ten days of instruction, but that no refunds be made thereafter, except in case of withdrawal for active service in the Armed Forces or other approved National Defense Service. Special refund policies are now in effect, and would be continued, for "withdrawal for active service in the Armed Forces or other approved National Defense Service," relating the amount of the refund to the amount of credit for which the student is eligible. The Trustees' action of 1962 also stated that a student who reduces his registration to a lower fee assessment range would receive a refund of the full amount of the difference if the change was made during the first ten days of instruction, and one-half of the difference if the change was made after the tenth day of instruction but during the first half of the term.
