Proposal 1
Each department has the sole responsibility of determining if a specific course offered at another institution can be accepted for the purposes of transfer of credit as being equivalent to a course offered by said department. Neither an adviser, administrator nor other individual in a College office is entitled to determine the equivalence of courses for the purpose of transfer. Each department is responsible for maintaining, reviewing and revising the information contained in WSU Transfer Guides                                    
(see, for example,http://secure.wichita.edu/registrar/transguides.asp)
to ensure that these are accurate, appropriate and current; each department is also solely responsible for determining course transfer equivalence for individual courses which are not listed in the Transfer Guides.

Each department at Wichita State University shall review every three years each course offered by another institution and listed as being equivalent to a course offered by said department in a WSU Transfer Guide. Each year a subset of the external courses listed in a WSU Transfer Guide shall be reviewed by the  appropriate departments; ideally this subset should consist of approximately one third of these external courses. In consultation with the Faculty Senate Academic Affairs Committee, the Offices of Academic Affairs
and the Registrar shall devise and implement a procedure to assist departments in conducting these reviews; in particular, this procedure shall include the timely notification of departments of upcoming reviews, a process for obtaining course, instructor or other information required by a department to conduct its review and assistance with other issues related to these reviews.
