Policy 2:038 was revised to align with the 3.0 high school GPA, thus reducing the APSU minimum GPA for dual enrollment from a minimum 3.2 high school GPA to a minimum 3.0 high school GPA.<\/li>\n<li>Admission requirements were added to the University\u2019s certificate programs.<\/li>\n<li>APSU publishes Policy 2:038, and the policy language is also published in the Undergraduate Bulletin. APSU does not have a companion policy for graduate admissions. To be consistent at the graduate level, Policy 2:038 was revised to include graduate admissions in the policy name and the policy language.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li>APSU has a policy on undergraduate academic retention standards (Policy 2:010), but the University did not have a companion policy for graduate academic retention standards. To maintain consistency at the graduate level, Policy 2:010 was revised to include graduate academic retention standards in the policy name and the policy language.<\/li>\n<li>The University\u2019s proposed 2018-2019 budget was revised from $153,394,700 to $154,954,000. The original budget, submitted to the Tennessee Board of Regents in May 2018, included a variety of estimates. The revised budget is based on new information, such as the impact of Austin Peay\u2019s fall enrollment.<\/li>\n<li>University Policy 1:021 was revised to comply with state legislation that calls for refunding tuition for military reserve and national guard personnel called to active duty.<\/li>\n<li>A list of factors was developed for University officials to consider whenever they are looking to increase tuition or mandatory fees. The list includes:<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ol>\n<li>Tennessee Higher Education Commission (THEC) binding tuition and mandatory fee increase ranges;<\/li>\n<li>Level of state support;<\/li>\n<li>Total cost of attendance;<\/li>\n<li>Efforts to mitigate the financial effect on students;<\/li>\n<li>Higher Education Price Index (HEPI);<\/li>\n<li>Other factors deemed appropriate by University administration such as:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul>\n<li>Student demand;<\/li>\n<li>Campus enrollment goals;<\/li>\n<li>Market factors;<\/li>\n<li>Cost factors related to general campus operations, programs of study, or<\/li>\n<li>Individual courses.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[320center]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The APSU Board of Trustees will host its next meeting this spring.<\/p>\n<p>To view an archived video of the winter meeting, which should be available soon, or for more information on agenda items, visit <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.apsu.edu\/president\/board-of-trustees\/\" >http:\/\/www.apsu.edu\/president\/board-of-trustees\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Austin Peay State University (APSU) Clarksville, TN &#8211; The Austin Peay State University (APSU) Board of Trustees hosted its winter meetings on November 29th and 30th, 2018 on the APSU campus.
