Many situations and new developments may cause a given department or faculty member to vary from the guidelines listed above in the assigning of credit. If this situation should arise, a Registrar Form 40 should be submitted creating or revising the course, specifying the type of variance to be applied, and the expected benefit. This formal notification will allow the Office of the Registrar to document such variances, continuously synchronize the faculty’s pedagogical expectations, and will assist in acknowledging interdepartmental preferences that may logically be converted to needed revisions of the guidelines and policies
