3.	Jointly approved proposals for cross-listing current courses.  (Requires approval of both departments and deans involved.  Add lines at end of form for additional signatures.)  
	(Stacking of 400/600 level courses is NOT considered a minor change.)
4.	Change in course number that does not involve a change in lower/upper division status. 
5.	Internal departmental changes in NON-CORE course prerequisites.  Changes MUST NOT affect courses (or degree programs) offered by other departments.

JUSTIFICATION FOR ACTION REQUESTED
The purpose of the department and campus-wide curriculum committees is to scrutinize course change applications to make sure that the quality of UAF education is not lowered as a result of the proposed change.  Please address this in your response.  This section needs to be self-explanatory. If you drop a prerequisite, is it because the material is covered elsewhere?  Use as much space as needed to fully justify the proposed change and explain what has been done to ensure that the quality of the course is not compromised as a result.
