This policy was combined with 14.001 to create a singular Acceptable Use policy. Language updates to the definition of email and its usage at UNT as well as minor editorial changes were made.
This policy was combined with 04.009. The policy changed its name from "Fraud" to "Reporting Suspected Wrongdoing" (which was the title of the now retired 04.009).
The required score was shifted from 26 to 25 on the Speaking Section of the TOEFL iBT. The Speaking Section of the TOEFL iBT is required for teaching personnel and will qualify them for any duty assigned by a department. The previous title of the policy was “Program of Assistance for Teaching Personnel Whose Primary Language is Not English”. The title of the policy has been modified to remove the words “of Assistance”. The current title of the policy is “Program for Teaching Personnel Whose Primary Language is Not English”.
Faculty are only able to modify their payment election prior to the first day of work of the new fiscal year. Any decision to modify annualized compensation must be made in writing and submitted to Academic Resources prior to the first day of work for the new fiscal year. The annualized compensation agreement will be automatically renewed each fiscal year without submission of a new pay option form unless there are changes in the annualized compensation program or related laws that require participant renewal.
This policy has been revised to reflect the change regarding who the approver is for face-to-face courses that contain fewer contact hours or are delivered in shortened time periods.
The approver shifted from the responsibility of the dean to the responsibility of an academic administrator with responsibility for the program in which the course is delivered.
Clarification was provided to specify which institutions UNT accepts transfer credit from and the application of those courses towards baccalaureate degrees.
Vocational/technical transfer credits may be applied to academic baccalaureate degrees upon evaluation by qualified faculty and confirmed through the curriculum approval process.
A requirement was added to specify that prior learning experiences must be comparable in rigor, substance, and proficiency as a UNT course and include an assessment of student attainment of learning to be considered for UNT credit.
