2.1 Correction

>>> Judy Chapman 7/15/2008 10:23 AM >>> Please correct minutes from the meeting (this is notice that this will be changed at the next meeting): 4. Old Business

4.1 Report from Academic Schedule Sub-Committee Incorrect: "It is expected there will be a formal motion to eliminate classes during the WOW event...."

This is incorrect. The Week of Welcome event held on the first Thursday during the Fall term may or may not continue in the future at the call of the University of Regina Student Union and Student Affairs. The WOW event is not linked to the cancellation or elimination of classes. The WOW event was scheduled on University Celebration Day but is not listed specifically in the policy or any recommendation by the committee.

The Academic Schedule Sub-Committee will recommend to Council committees at the GR and UG level that the "University Celebration Day" - a day where classes are cancelled to provide an opportunity for Faculty, Colleges, and the University community to host events that celebration the start of the Fall term - cease to exist. This does not affect event planning. It only affects the Academic Schedule. Events will be planned by URSU and by your Faculties/Colleges. Classes will continue during events.

Should the "University Celebration Day" policy no longer exist, activities and events will not form part of the Academic Schedule. To keep in touch with the work of the Sub-Committee, review documents under the 2008 Meeting Schedule at: http://www.uregina.ca/registrar/ccuas.shtml

APPENDIX I

Report to Council Committee on Undergraduate Admissions and Studies

from the Registrar’s Office re: Bachelor of Health Studies Hood Color

______________________________________________________________________ The following error has come to the attention of the Registrar’s Office and requires a correction for the record. Details of the error are as follows: Background: 1. On November 7, 2007, CCUAS, and, on November 28, 2007, Executive of Council

approved the following motion from the Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies:

MOTION: TO approve the Bachelor of Health Studies hood: shamrock green inside (as per request from FNUC – signifies mother earth), Ultra white outside (as in Arts hoods) and silver cord (as in KHS hoods)

2. On December 5, 2007, CCUAS, and on January 23, 2008, Executive of Council

approved the following motion from the Faculty of Arts:

MOTION: that the convocation hood for the Bachelor of Health Studies be trimmed with shamrock green outside trim, ultra white inside trim, and silver cord. Rationale: This trim represents the unique partnership of this program: First Nations University of Canada - shamrock green outside trim, to represent the Earth; Faculty of Arts - ultra white inside trim; Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies - silver cord.

3. Not realizing there was a discrepancy in what was approved, on February 2, 2008,

Senate approved the description submitted by the Faculty of Arts, which was in fact the erroneous one. The correct description has been verified by the Health Studies program co-ordinators and it is their desire that the error be corrected to reflect the desired and originally approved hood color.

Recommendation: That the hood for the Bachelor of Health Studies be verified as “ultra white OUTSIDE trim, shamrock green INSIDE trim, and silver cord.” Bev Liski Associate Registrar, Academic Policy Services and Ceremonies September 4, 2008

APPENDIX II

FACULTY OF ENGINEERING M E M O R A N D U M To: Bev Liski, Associate Registrar, Academic Policy Services and Ceremonies From: S. Sharma, Associate Dean (Academic) Date: 7-July-2008 Re: Report from the Faculty of Engineering to Council Committee on

Undergraduate Admission and Studies ITEMS FOR APPROVAL The Faculty of Engineering has approved and recommends approval of the following motions. 1: Engineering Admission from Canadian Universities and Colleges (Including

Transfer From Other University of Regina Faculties)

MOTION to revise additional requirements for students transferring into Engineering, 2008-2009 Undergraduate Calendar, page 15, Section 2.4.2 to include:

FACULTY OF PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS BY FACULTY ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS

ENGINEERING (U of R) See also §2.3.4.2

Applicants must meet high school admission requirements (see §2.4.1) with a minimum 70% average, and must also have a minimum GPA of 60% on all post -secondary courses attempted. See also §13.2.

Applicants who have failed more than 15 credit hours of university courses are not admissible except by permission of the Faculty. Applicants who have failed a core requirement of the Faculty of Engineering after the maximum number of repeat attempts are not admissible except by permission of the Faculty.

Rationale: Currently, the Admission Office of the Registrar’s Office automatically processes a transfer if

the requirements by Faculty are met. However, there are instances where students with extremely poor academic records may be transferred into Engineering. In one specific instance, a student who had been required to discontinue from Campion College twice as well as being on University Probation for seven semesters was automatically transferred to Engineering. He/she had the required high school requirements as well as his/her UGPA was over 60% thus satisfying the current requirements of the Faculty. This is a similar rule to that of the Faculty of Science.

2: Evaluation of Academic Performance

MOTION to revise the following academic performance regulation, 2008-2009 Undergraduate Calendar, page 165, Section 13.5.2.1 to include:

5

APPENDIX II

Students on faculty probation who achieve the 60.00% TGPA but who still have a PGPA of less than 60.00% will remain on faculty probation. Students will be reviewed at the end of their next academic semester subject to the faculty probation conditions outlined above. Students will be permitted two continuations of their probationary semesters to increase their PGPA to the required minimum of 60.00%. Failure to achieve this minimum in three probationary semesters will result in a required to discontinue for at least 2 semesters from the Faculty.

Rationale: There is no timeline specified as to how long a student can remain on probation continued.

3: Co-operative Education Internship Program

MOTION to approve the Co-operative Education Internship Program. Rationale: The Co-operative Education Internship Program was approved as a 3 year pilot project. It has proven to be very successful for both employers and engineering students. The University of Regina Career Centre (Co-op Education) is supportive of the Co-operative Education Internship Program.

3: Course Deletions

A). Deletion of ENGG 103, ENGG 113 and ENEV 320.

Rationale: ENGG 103, ENGG 113 and ENEV 320 have been deleted from the Engineering calendar with major topics covered in the newly created ENGG 123 and ENEV 223.

16

APPENDIX II 4: Faculty Name Extension - Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science

Rationale: This name is consistent with many other universities, among which are Toronto and Ryerson. Other examples of the use of the term “applied science” are Queen’s University and UBC. The name extension will better reflect the academic mandate of the Faculty of Engineering as follows:

1) Consistency: the degrees conferred by the Faculty of Engineering are “Bachelor of Applied Science in

[name of program] Systems Engineering.” This name extension will further rationalize the connection between the Faculty of Engineering and the degree it confers.

2) Continued Professional Development: the Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board and Engineers

Canada places great value on the continuous professional developers of engineers in Canada. However, current undergraduate program in Engineering are not suitable for professional development due to the needs for accreditation. The name extension will allow the teaching of Engineering basics and the addition of Applied Science for professional development.

3) Innovative programs: multidisciplinary, collaborative undergraduate and graduate programs, such as

Process Engineering, Engineering Management, and Design, are being developed and offered through the Faculty of Engineering. The inclusion of Applied Science clarifies this additional aspect of the Faculty of Engineering, and allows it to provide support for professional development programs.

4) Accreditation: interdisciplinary programs with a home in the Faculty of Engineering may yield

graduates who are not necessarily engineers (e.g., industrial designers). These programs would fit under the Applied Science denomination and as such would not require accreditation.

5) Growth: to allow the Faculty of Engineering to grow and support the new programs with the inclusion

of specialized professional figures.

Memorandum Date: August 21, 2008 To: Bev Liski, Associate Registrar, Academic Policy Services and Ceremonies From: Michelle Beitel, Manager Re: Report from Student Development Centre, Student Affairs to CCUAS ITEMS FOR APPROVAL The Student Development Centre, Student Affairs recommends approval of the following motions: MOTION to create the following course:

ACAD 100 3:3-0 Academic Discourse: Writing, Research, and Learning Strategies This course provides first-year students with tools for successful communication across the disciplines by emphasizing ele ments of effective writing and academic research. Topics include rhetorical considerations for effective writing, process-oriented writing and revision, critical reading skills, approaches to group collaboration, research tools, bibliographies, academic integrity, and citation methods.

MOTION to delete the following course:

UNIV 101 3:3-0 Strategies for Academic Success This course provides first-year students with tools for successful communication across the disciplines by emphasizing elements of effective writing and academic research. Topics include rhetorical considerations for effective writing, process-oriented writing and revision, critical reading skills, time management skills, approaches to group collaboration, research tools, bibliographies, academic integrity, and citation methods.

Rationale: ACAD 100: Academic Discourse: Writing, Research, and Learning Strategies will replace UNIV 101: Strategies for Academic Success. One recommendation of the University’s recent Enrolment Management Plan to improve student retention is to “enhance and develop new curriculum-based transition courses.” Building on the first year’s offerings of UNIV 101, the course syllabus has been significantly modified. The intent of the course remains to assist students in their transition to university by encouraging the development of foundational academic skills, particularly in writing, research and communication. However, new textbooks, revised assignments, the use of on-line writing tools, and more focused content will allow the course to more effectively meet its goals. Changing the numbering of the course from UNIV 101 to ACAD 100 will clearly signify the academic rigor of the course and assist in clarifying the departure of the course from its 1.5 credit hour predecessors UNIV 100 and 110. Further, the new title reflects the predominate role of writing in the course. The updated course syllabus is available on-line at www.uregina.ca/sdc/courses/.

18

APPENDIX III

Seven sections of UNIV 101 were offered in the 2007-08 academic year to 108 students. A descriptive study of UNIV 101 was conducted by Dr. Cyril Keston of SIDRU in the Spring of 2008. The findings of this study are available on-line at www.uregina.ca/sdc/courses/. For Fall 2008, four sections of UNIV 101 are being offered with 96 registrants. Also, the Student Development Centre and the Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies are offering a discipline specific version of this course, KHS 181AB: Academic Success in KHS, to 59 students.

DATE: September 3, 2008 TO: Council Committee on Undergraduate Admissions and Studies FROM: Jason Vogelsang

Associate Registrar, Admissions RE: Proof of Citizenship This document proposes changes to procedures only, not policy and is information only for the Council Committee on Undergraduate Admissions and Studies. SEM Target: Improve Undergraduate admission procedures RO Objective: Implement procedural changes: Reviewing what documentation is

required as part of the application process Goal: Increase the speed in which applicants are admitted by reducing the number of

documents required before an application is reviewed and processed while maintaining academic, financial, and data integrity.

Current Practice/Process Citizenship status determines if a student is assessed standard or international tuition/fees. Canadian citizens and permanent/landed immigrants are assessed standard tuition/fees. Students with study permits are assessed international tuition/fees. Applicants are asked to declare the following on their Application for Undergraduate Program Admission:

- Citizenship: choice of ‘Canadian Citizen’, ‘Permanent Resident (Landed Immigrant)’, ‘Study Permit (Student Visa)’, or ‘Other’

- Country of Birth - Country of Citizenship - If not born in Canada, Date of Entry

By signing the application form, applicants are certifying that the information is correct and complete and that if it is not their admission to or registration in the university may be revoked.

20

APPENDIX IV If the applicant indicates Permanent Resident/Landed Immigrant, the Admissions Office requests proof of status (landing documents, permanent resident card). If the applicant indicates a mismatch of Citizenship and/or Country of Birth and/or Country of Citizenship, the Admissions Office requests proof of citizenship.

- Example: Canadian Citizen, Country of Birth other than Canada - Example: Canadian Citizen, Country of Citizenship other than Canada

The Admissions Office does not review or process an application until the required proof of citizenship has been received. This causes delays in the applicant’s admission. Proposed Change Change current procedures such that we deem the information provided by the applicant is correct and do not request documented proof of citizenship status. Documented proof may still be requested if other information indicates and/or is discovered that suggests misinformation on the application form. Documented proof will still be required when a current student wants to change their citizenship status (i.e. a current student on a study permit obtains permanent residence status). Establish procedures that allow for a set of consequences if the student is discovered to have provided false information related to citizenship status.

1. Retroactively assess international tuition/fees for any term for which the student has registered. This is recommended in all discovered situations.

2. Require the student to discontinue from the University of Regina based on academic misconduct. The student must follow existing petition processes to be re-admitted to the University of Regina. This is recommended in select situations, depending on the severity of the falsified information.

3. Revoke the student’s admission at the University of Regina. The student is no longer able to continue their studies at the University of Regina. This is recommended in only the most severe of situations.

Background To date, documented proof has been required at the front end of the application process because citizenship status affects tuition and fees of the institution and there have not been consequences available to apply if falsified information was discovered after admission or registration. Requiring documentation often causes frustration due to the time delay in the process. Furthermore, it is often difficult to obtain documentation for some applicants due to the young age at which citizenship was obtained. Other post-secondary institutions do not require documented proof of Citizenship or Permanent Resident/Landed Immigrant status. They rely on the signed declaration that is part of the application form that all information is correct.

21

APPENDIX IV To obtain an entry visa and a study permit to enter Canada, international students are required to provide the Government of Canada a University of Regina acceptance letter and a “visa letter” that summarizes key program information. The visa letter is provided only to students indicating ‘study permit’ status on the application form. Therefore if a student who indicated Canadian citizenship or Permanent Resident/Landed Immigrant status requests this letter for immigration purposes, further investigation will occur and proof may be requested. This will minimize the number of students registering incorrectly as a Canadian citizen or Permanent Resident/Landed Immigrant. The University Secretary and Financial Services have been consulted and both are supportive of the proposed change.

PHONE: (306) 585-4584 FAX: (306) 585-5203 MEMORANDUM DATE: September 5, 2008 TO: Council Committee on Undergraduate Admissions and Studies FROM: Bev Liski, Associate Registrar, Academic Policy Services and Ceremonies RE: Procedure for Approving Academic Hoods for New Degrees ______________________________________________________________________ The procedure for submission of academic hoods for new degrees is hereby provided for information. Current Policy / Procedure The current policy / procedure for approving a hood for a new degree lies with the faculty. At the graduate level, the procedure is that the hood proposal forms part of the degree submission, which is approved at all levels (faculty, FGSR Council, Executive of Council and Senate) along with the program details. At the undergraduate level, although this was the desired procedure, it has not always been complied with and has, on more than one occasion, been omitted from the report received by the CCUAS. When the hood is approved separate from the degree program, problems can arise, such as those which occurred with the Bachelor of Health Studies hood. Proposed Procedure The recommendation for the hood associated with a new degree MUST form part of the degree submission. For the assistance of faculties, the following procedure should be followed in determining the hood color and design:

23

APPENDIX V • When the degree program is in the final stages of development and it is determined

to be a new degree (the faculty should consult with the Associate Registrar, Academic Policy Services and Ceremonies if they are in doubt about this), the faculty must develop the recommendation for a new hood.

• Samples of fabric colors will be provided to the faculty, along with the list of current hood descriptions.

• The faculty will review the list, and, in consultation with the Associate Registrar, APSC, select a color and sometimes a new design, and prepare the motion for inclusion in the degree program report for submission through the approval levels. Program consideration may be delayed in the program submission is incomplete.
