• Draft Crosslisting Policy [The COSCC requested that the following be incorporated into the draft: The rationale; provide undergraduate and graduate-specific wording; address cross-college crosslists. It was also asked that we look into providing due-diligence that learning will not be harmed with any particular crosslist- this might include a narrative in the “Justification” section of the CIM form. These revisions will be brought back to the COSCC at a future meeting.]
