5.1 Report from the Faculty of Social Work Appendix I

Items for Approval

Motion 1: 17.8.1.1 in the Undergraduate Calendar be changed to state:

Deadlines for Application for Practicum (SW 348 and SW 448) in Saskatchewan and Canada:

Fall practicum - March 1

Winter practicum - October 1

Effective immediately.

Rationale: To facilitate the processing of practicum applications in a timely manner, as well as

consistency with the Social Work website. Currently the Undergraduate Calendar (page 281) states:

“17.8.1.1 Regina, Saskatoon and Prince Albert Deadline Dates for application for SW 348 and SW 448

Fall semester - March 1

Winter semester - October 1

Motion 2: Deadlines for International Application Practicum (SW 448 only):

Fall practicum - March 31

Winter Practicum - June 30

Effective immediately.

Rationale: To facilitate the processing of practicum applications in a timely manner, as well as

consistency with the Social Work website. 17.8.1.2 Out-of-Province Deadline Dates for application for

SW 448

Fall practicum - March 31

Winter Practicum - June 30

Motion 3: Part 1: That the following changes be made to section 17.8.3 of the Undergraduate Calendar:

a) Add SW 202 [Critical Issues/Critical Thought] as a required course in the CSW (into Year 1). b)

Remove SW 440 [Counselling Theories and Skills] as a required course in the CSW (from Year 2). This

course will be offered as an elective course for future use toward the BSW. Part 2: That SW 350 [Anti-

Oppressive Social Work Practice] be moved into Year 2, replacing the current SW 440 [Counselling

Theories and Skills]. Effective 201630.

Rationale: The CSW curriculum was negotiated between Aurora College and the University of Regina

to prepare northern students for practice after two academic years. The curriculum was developed before

SW 202 was listed as a required course for the BSW degree. SW 440 is currently a required course in the

CSW program, but is not required for the BSW degree. CSW students currently take a majority of third

and fourth year BSW courses in a two-year program (see Course Schedule and CSW Curriculum Proposal

below). They do not have four years in which to develop their writing, researching and critical thinking

skills as they would in a four-year BSW program. This presents many challenges in terms of sequencing

and skill development (writing and critical thinking). In 2015, Aurora College offered SW 202 as a new

elective for post-CSW students who continue to work towards their BSW degree. Many current CSW

students also enrolled in the course. Students received it extremely positively and noted how important it

was to develop their critical thinking skills for third and fourth year courses delivered in the CSW

program.

Motion 4: A paragraph in section 17.3.2.1 of the 2015-2016 undergraduate calendar was deleted in error.

This paragraph read “transfer credit may be granted for SW348 upon presentation by the student of

evidence that their previous practicum experience is equivalent and from a Social Work program”. This

motion is to reinsert this paragraph with revisions to read as follows: For the BSW and CSW programs,

the Faculty of Social Work may grant transfer credit for SW348 if a previous practicum experience, from

another educational institution, is evaluated to be equivalent. Transfer credit equivalence is determined

through assessment by the Faculty of Social Work of practicum course syllabi and/or other relevant

practicum documents. Students also have the option to have previous experience, which is not from

another educational institution, assessed for Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) as

outlined in section 17.3.3. Effective immediately.

Rationale: This motion is to reinsert information that was deleted in error and then to revise this

information so that is clearer for the student. This motion also helps to clarify the difference between

transfer credit and PLAR for SW348.

Items for Information:

1. That the pre-requisite of 30 credit hours on 300- and 400- level Social Work courses be removed.

Effective immediately.

Rationale: Registration in 300- and 400- level social work courses is restricted to BSW, BINSW, CSW

(Aurora), and CINSW students [see section 17.6.4 of the Undergraduate Calendar]. The 30 credit hour

pre-requisite is redundant for BSW students, given the program restrictions in place, because for BSW

admission students must complete 30 credit hours. For BINSW and/or CINSW admission, students must

complete 24 credit hours, including 4 INSW courses. CSW (Aurora) students are exempted from the 30

credit hour pre-requisite, so a manual override must be performed by University staff. Approval of this

proposal will allow students to register for courses according to their program of study, and streamline the

registration process for students. Note: SW 405 and SW 479 are also open to students in the Certificate

of Inclusive Education program, a post-degree certificate, so these students have completed 30 credit

hours.

5.2 Report from the Faculty of Business Administration Appendix II

Items for Approval:

The Faculty of Business Administration Council approved the following changes to the requirements for

the Majors in Finance, Human Resources Management, and Marketing in the Bachelor of Business

Administration (BBA) program and presents the changes to CCUAS for approval.

MOTION 1: Move to revise the requirements for the Major in Finance as follows, effective 201630.

BUS 395, BUS 494, BUS 495, BUS 497

One of: BUS 491, BUS 498

One of: BUS 390-399, BUS 472AA-ZZ, BUS 490-499

Rationale:

Current requirements:

BUS 395, BUS 494, BUS 495, BUS 497

One of: BUS 491, BUS 498

One of: BUS 394, BUS 472AA-ZZ, BUS 491, BUS 492AA-ZZ, BUS 493, BUS 498

Two new finance courses, BUS 392 and BUS 393, need to be added to the list of courses that can be used

towards the Major in Finance. These courses are currently offered through BUS 492AA-ZZ.

This is an opportunity to revise how the requirements for a major are presented to allow new finance

courses to be added in the future without requiring a change to the major.

The course numbers BUS 390-399 and BUS 490-499 will be reserved for 300-level and 400-level finance

courses.

Currently BUS 390-399 includes BUS 392, BUS 393, BUS 394, and BUS 395 and BUS 490-499 includes

BUS 491, BUS 492AA-ZZ, BUS 493, BUS 494, BUS 495, BUS 497, and BUS 498.

MOTION 2: Move to revise the requirements for the Major in Human Resources Management as

follows, effective 201630.

BUS 453

Three of: BUS 301, BUS 350-369

One of: BUS 450-469, BUS 473AA-ZZ

Rationale:

Current requirements:

Five of: BUS 301, BUS 355-358, BUS 361-364, BUS 453, BUS 455, BUS 461, BUS 473AA-ZZ

The proposed changes add BUS 453 as a required component of the major and a requirement for an

additional 400-level course. BUS 453 is a case-based course which draws on the broad range of

disciplines in the major. Including BUS 453 as a required component is in keeping with the other majors

in Business Administration that all require at least one 400-level course. Specifying courses from both

300 and 400 levels adds structure and logic to the major.

The course numbers BUS 350-369 and BUS 450-469 will be reserved for 300-level and 400-level HRM

courses.

Currently BUS 350-369 includes BUS 355, BUS 356, BUS 357, BUS 358, BUS 361, BUS 362, BUS

363, and BUS 364 and BUS 450-469 includes BUS 453, BUS 455, and BUS 461.

Page 6: University of Regina · Five of: BUS 301, BUS 355-358, BUS 361-364, BUS 453, BUS 455, BUS 461, BUS 473AA-ZZ The proposed changes add BUS 453 as a required component of the major and

6

MOTION 3: Move to revise the requirements for the Major in Marketing as follows, effective 201630.

BUS 310, BUS 312, BUS 413

Two of: BUS 311, BUS 313, BUS 315-319, BUS 374AA-ZZ, BUS 410-419, BUS 474AA-ZZ

Rationale:

Current requirements:

BUS 310, BUS 312, BUS 413

Two of: BUS 314, BUS 410, BUS 414-417, BUS 435AM, BUS 474AA-ZZ

The requirements for the Major in Marketing are changed to add two new courses (BUS 317 and BUS

374AA-ZZ), remove BUS 314, and remove BUS 435AM.

The Marketing Area Group has proposed removing BUS 314 – Entrepreneurial Marketing from the list of

courses acceptable for the major. BUS 314 and BUS 310 – Strategic Marketing (a required course for the

major) have a significant amount of overlap in terms of their content, with the primary difference being

the number of resources available to the firm. The Marketing Area Group does not believe that BUS 314

adds enough value beyond BUS 310 to allow students to count both courses towards the major.

BUS 435AM is listed in the current requirements but the course has never existed. ADMN 435AM was a

course which was offered before we changed to the BBA degree and introduced majors. ADMN 435AM

was carried forward as BUS 435AM but was never offered (and was replaced by BUS 474AB).

Removing the course from the list of courses for the major is a housekeeping item.

Notes:

BUS 311 and BUS 313 are numbers for future marketing courses.

BUS 315-319 includes BUS 317 (new)

BUS 410-419 includes BUS 410, BUS 413, BUS 414, BUS 415, BUS 416, BUS 417

Items for Information:

The Faculty of Business Administration Council approved the following new courses and course changes,

effective 201620, and presents the changes to CCUAS for information.

NEW COURSES

1. BUS 317 – Social Media Marketing (new)

This course examines the impact of social media on the marketing of products, services, and

corporate image, as well as consumer empowerment. The focus will be placed on the use of social

media tools and platforms to increase effectiveness, efficiency, and competitiveness and to improve

customer relationship management. *** Prerequisite: BUS 210 (or ADMN 210)*** *Note: Students

may only receive credit for one of BUS 317, BUS 417, ADMN 417, and ADMN 435AC.*

Rationale:

The current course BUS 417 – Internet Marketing is outdated and requires updating.

The course title is changed to Social Media Marketing and is expected to be more appealing and

attractive to students and marketing professionals than the current title Internet Marketing.

The course number is changed to a 300-level from a 400-level. The Marketing Area Group proposes

Page 7: University of Regina · Five of: BUS 301, BUS 355-358, BUS 361-364, BUS 453, BUS 455, BUS 461, BUS 473AA-ZZ The proposed changes add BUS 453 as a required component of the major and

7

that courses with BUS 210 as the only prerequisite should have 300-level numbers and courses with

31x-level prerequisites should have 400-level numbers – a principle to distinguish between 300-level

and 400-level courses. Thus BUS 417 is renumbered as BUS 317.

The revised calendar description puts emphasis on the use of social media tools in the marketing of

products, services, and corporate image, as well as consumer empowerment. These topics are timely

and relevant to the marketing field. Of particular interest is the use of metrics in assessing social

media effectiveness in marketing activities (e.g. boosting sales through social media tools, designing

a campaign to raise funds, etc.).

2. BUS 354 – Occupational Health and Safety

This course focuses on the effective management of occupational health and safety (OHS). Beginning

with a survey of the history of OHS, current statistics, and the legal environment for OHS, the course

turns to the role of leadership, culture, and a safety management system in enhancing the physical and

mental wellbeing of employees. *** Prerequisite: BUS 250 (or ADMN 250) *** * Note: Students

may not receive credit for both BUS 354 and BUS 473AC. *

Rationale:

The proposed BUS 354 has been offered as BUS 473AC. The calendar description is expanded to

better describe the course content. BUS 354 may be used to satisfy the requirements of the Major in

Human Resources Management.

3. BUS 374 – Selected Topics in Marketing – an AA-ZZ series

Courses in selected topics in marketing are designed at the 300-level. *** Prerequisite: Dependent on

each course offering. (Please see Faculty of Business Administration General Office). *** *Note:

Students may not receive credit for both BUS 374AA-ZZ and an equivalent BUS 474AA-ZZ or

ADMN 474AA-ZZ course covering the same topic.*

Rationale:

Currently any new special topics or trial courses that we would like to offer as part of the Major in

Marketing must hold a 400-level course number. We propose that it is appropriate to offer new

courses at the expected level of the course rather than having to offer them as 400-level by default.

In order to distinguish between 300-level and 400-level courses, we propose that a BUS 374AA-ZZ

course will require only BUS 210 as its prerequisite.

4. BUS 392 – Financial Modelling

This course covers the implementation of financial theories, using actual data and software such as

spreadsheet programs. Relevant topics include portfolio selection, security analysis, corporate

finance, fixed income securities, options, and financial simulations. *** Prerequisite: BUS 395

(concurrent enrolment is allowed) *** * Note: Students may not receive credit for both BUS 392 and

BUS 492AB. *

Rationale:

The proposed BUS 392 has been offered several times as BUS 492AB. The course title has been

updated and the course description revised to better reflect course content. Concurrent enrolment in

BUS 395 (Finance: Theory and Application) is deemed to be sufficient for the course (BUS 395 has

BUS 290 as its prerequisite).

Page 8: University of Regina · Five of: BUS 301, BUS 355-358, BUS 361-364, BUS 453, BUS 455, BUS 461, BUS 473AA-ZZ The proposed changes add BUS 453 as a required component of the major and

8

5. BUS 393 – UR Investing

The course will manage the UR Investing Fund. Students taking this course will learn about financial

decision-making from the real-world perspective of the institutional investor. Students will perform

the following duties: 1) develop Investment Policies and Guidelines; 2) conduct industry and firm

level research to identify stocks and bonds that fit the fund’s investment objective; 3) trade

stocks/bonds and monitor the performance of the fund; 4) meet with investor clients and provide them

with regular reports. *** Prerequisite: BUS 290 (or ADMN 290) and permission of the Faculty *** *

Note: Students may not receive credit for both BUS 393 and BUS 492AD. *

Rationale:

The proposed BUS 393 has been offered several times as BUS 492AD. The prerequisite for BUS 393

is changed to allow students to join the UR Investing Program after completing BUS 290 –

Introduction to Finance. Students are selected for the UR Investing Program and require Faculty

permission to register in BUS 393. BUS 393 is graded as P/F – pass/fail.

6. ADMN 235 – Selected Topics in Administration I – an AA-ZZ series

Courses are designed at the 200-level as required for individuals or groups of undergraduates. ***

Prerequisite: Dependent on each class offering. ***

7. ADMN 335 – Selected Topics in Administration II – an AA-ZZ series

Courses are designed at the 300-level as required for individuals or groups of undergraduates. ***

Prerequisite: Dependent on each class offering.***

Rationale for ADMN 235AA-ZZ and ADMN 335AA-ZZ:

Adding these two courses creates a sequence of selected topics AA-ZZ series courses at the 200, 300

and 400-level (similar to the BUS X35AA-ZZ series courses). Adding courses at the 220 and 300-

level allows for courses to be piloted at the 200 or 300-level. When ADMN 435AA-ZZ has been used

to pilot courses intended to be 200 or 300-level courses, the course may be viewed by students as a

400-level course and they may be reluctant to register in the course. Adding 200 and 300-level AA-

ZZ series will allow for a clearer signal of the level of a selected topics course. Academic Council at

First Nations University of Canada has approved these new courses.

Notes:

Each course in an ADMN X35AA-ZZ series will have a specific title, calendar description, and

prerequisites.

REVISED COURSES

1. BUS 302 is revised as shown below, effective 201620.

BUS 302 – Entrepreneurship: Small Business Modeling and Feasibility Analysis

This course addresses early stage elements of starting up and operating a small business on a

conceptual level. Using cases, competitions and experiential exercises, students will learn opportunity

alertness and identification, building a value proposition, testing business hypotheses, creating

competitive advantage, setting up financials, analyzing break even, charting growth and planning for

exit. Students develop, build and test an entrepreneurial opportunity they identify, and assess its

feasibility. The course applies to all business start up including non profit, for profit, for benefit and

corporate or institutional intrapreneurship. *** Prerequisite: Completion of a minimum of 60 credit

hours of university studies. *** * Note: Students may only receive credit for one of BUS 302, ADMN

302, and ENGG 436. *

Page 9: University of Regina · Five of: BUS 301, BUS 355-358, BUS 361-364, BUS 453, BUS 455, BUS 461, BUS 473AA-ZZ The proposed changes add BUS 453 as a required component of the major and

9

Rationale:

The course title, course description, and prerequisites are changed. The current BUS 302 is as

follows.

BUS 302 – Small Business Management

This course explores small business as a career alternative and addresses the nature of

entrepreneurship and the elements of startup: opportunity identification, feasibility analysis,

integration of marketing and operating strategies, venture finance, and the business plan. ***

Prerequisite: Students of the Faculty of Business Administration and the FNUC School of Business &

Public Administration: BUS 210 (or ADMN 210), and BUS 250 (or ADMN 250); Science,

Engineering, Indian Communication Arts, and Education students: Completion of a minimum of 60

credit hours of university studies. *** * Note: Students may only receive credit for one of BUS 302,

ADMN 302, and ENGG 436. *

Revision of course content:

Recently BUS 302 has been taught with the new content and we should update the course title and

calendar description. The course focuses on feasibility analysis so that would-be entrepreneurs can

avoid investment in potentially unsuccessful businesses (this reflects current practice at major

business schools). BUS 402 – New Enterprise Creation is built around students further examining

the opportunity and then completing the business plan. BUS 302 is a prerequisite for BUS 402.

BUS 476AB – Small Business Startup and Management is a course that has been piloted and uses

a simulation to focus on the management and operation of the small business. This aspect of running

the small business had received minimal coverage in the revised BUS 302 content. BUS 476AB is

targeted at students in their second year for the university at large, including business students.

Reduce prerequisites and open across campus:

BUS 302 has been offered to students with the 60 hours minimum from Science, Engineering, and

Education. They have been enrolled for many years and perform about the same as business students.

As some students have little exposure to financial statements before the course, we provide additional

information on the website about interpreting and creating them including cash flow analysis and

proforma financial Statements. We are developing a standardized web-based Introduction to

accounting and financial statements for use in BUS 302 and BUS 476AB.

2. The prerequisites for BUS 413, BUS 414, BUS 415, and BUS 416 are changed as shown below,

effective 201620.

BUS 413 – Marketing Research:

Change the prerequisite to STAT 100 and any BUS 31x course or BUS 374AA-ZZ from STAT 100

and any one of BUS 310 (or ADMN 310) or BUS 312 (or ADMN 312) or BUS 314

BUS 414 – Management of Promotion:

Change the prerequisite to BUS 312 from BUS 210 (or ADMN 210)

BUS 415 – International Marketing:

Change the prerequisite to any BUS 31x course or BUS 374AA-ZZ from BUS 310 (or ADMN 310)

BUS 416 – Sales Management and Personal Selling:

Change the prerequisite to BUS 312 from BUS 210 (or ADMN 210) and BUS 250 (or ADMN 250)

Rationale:

The Marketing Area Group proposes that courses with only BUS 210 as a prerequisite should be 300-

level and courses with a BUS 31x-level prerequisite should be 400-level – a principle to distinguish

between 300-level and 400-level courses.

10

For BUS 413, experience with any of several marketing concepts and theories provided at the 300-

level will better prepare students to understand the complexities of marketing research.

For BUS 414, a minimum understanding of consumer psychology is the foundation of integrated

marketing communications (otherwise known as promotion) and is essential to understand the best

ways to communicate with customers. BUS 312 provides this understanding.

For BUS 415, experience with any of several marketing concepts and theories provided at the 300-

level will better prepare students to understand the complexities of international marketing.

For BUS 416, a minimum understanding of persuasion, customer attitude, motivation, purchasing

decision process, and consumer psychology in general is essential to understanding key topics such as

customer interactions and buyer-seller relationships. BUS 312 provides this understanding.

Note: 300-level marketing courses include BUS 310-319 and BUS 374AA-ZZ (new).

Note: the other 400-level marketing course already has 300-level prerequisites (BUS 310 and BUS

312 for BUS 410).

3. The prerequisites for BUS 453 – Strategic Human Resource Management are changed as shown

below, effective 201620.

New prerequisites: Three of: BUS 301, BUS 350-369 and a minimum of 90 credit hours

Rationale:

Current prerequisite: BUS 250 (or ADMN 250)

The course requires a comprehensive knowledge of business and HR/OB material commensurate with

BUS 400 and capstone courses in other majors. Requiring at least three 300-level HR/OB courses and

a minimum of 90 credit hours will ensure that a student has the necessary background for the course

material.

4. The course title and prerequisites for ADMN 435 – Selected Topics in Administration are changed

as shown below, effective 201620.

ADMN 435 – Selected Topics in Administration III – an AA-ZZ series

Courses are designed at the 400-level as required for individuals or groups of undergraduates. ***

Prerequisite: Dependent on each class offering. *** *Note: Students may not receive credit for

both ADMN 435AA-ZZ and an equivalent BUS 435AA-ZZ covering the same topic. *

Rationale:

ADMN 435AA-ZZ is changed to reflect the addition of ADMN 235AA-ZZ and ADMN 335AA-ZZ.

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

and Applied Science after the maximum

number of repeat attempts are not

admissible except by permission of the

Faculty.

Rationale: With the increased enrollment and demand in specific programs, the direct entrance average is

being increased to 90%. Based on Fall 2014 admission data, 106 students were admitted with high school

admission averages between 80 – 89.99% that would be placed into Engineering general. The average for

all Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science high school admissions averages was 84.07% in fall 2015

and 84.1% in fall 2014.

Effective: Winter 2017

Motion 3: To delete the following section from the calendar:

12.2.2 U OF R TRANSFERS TO ENGINEERING

Students transferring into Engineering from other University of Regina faculties must have minimum

undergraduate GPA of 60.00% and must have completed all high school requirements. Alternatively,

applicants may apply for transfer by completing the following three University of Regina classes:

MATH 110, CHEM 104, and PHYS 109. To meet the transfer requirements, a minimum grade of 60% in

each of the courses is required in addition to a minimum UGPA of 60% on all post-secondary courses.

See also §2.4.2 for details and additional requirements.

Rationale: This change simplifies the requirements for external and internal post secondary transfers,

previously different regulations applied. Wording has been modified slightly to create consistency with

other Faculties in this section of the calendar. Transfer students will be required to apply for specific

majors by the same process that general engineering majors are considered.

Social Sciences and Humanities Elective: choose any Faculty of Arts course. Humanities Elective (one is required): ENGL 110, PHIL 100, PHIL 241, PHIL 242, PHIL 272, PHIL 273, PHIL 275, RLST 100, WGST 100 or an approved Humanities course. Natural Science Elective (one is required): from astronomy, biology, chemistry, geology and physics.

Open Elective (one is required)

Rationale: The Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board accepted the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science request for permission to expand the approved courses that meet the social sciences and humanities requirement. This will provide students with increased flexibility in course selection. Effective Term: Winter 2016

Motion 6: to update the requirements for minors outside Engineering as follows:

12.10.9 SCIENCE MINORS FOR SYSTEMS ENGINEERING PROGRAMS OPTIONAL NON-ENGINEERING MINORS

Students may complete up to two minors in total in a subject other than, and distinct from, their major. The minor is a concentration of at least six courses in a discipline from any of the Faculties of Science, Arts, Fine Arts, La Cité or Kinesiology and Health Studies. The applications to graduate with a minor are ultimately approved by the Faculty offering the student’s first major. The specific courses required for a minor in a given discipline can be found under the relevant departmental listing. Only one course that is required for the completion of the major may also be used in the minor. A minimum of four (4) courses from outside the major are required.

Rationale: La Cité has been added as a new Faculty in which a minor will be accepted. This

modification will address the fact that minors in other Faculties have varying amounts of course overlap

between the major and minor and total credit hours required for the minor. Several programs have

minors with six courses, so the requirement will be consistent that at least four new courses are

completed.

Effective term: Winter 2016

Items for Information:

Equivalencies – KIN 261 and KIN 262 vs BIOL 110 and BIOL 111 MOTION: To approve the following equivalency recognition as it pertains to KIN 261, KIN 262, BIOL

110, BIOL 111:

Recognize that KIN 261 (Human anatomy and Physiology I) is equivalent to BIOL 110 (Human

Anatomy and Physiology I) and KIN 262 (Human anatomy and Physiology II) is equivalent to

BIOL 111 (Human anatomy and Physiology II)

Students with KIN 260/267/268 will not receive credit for KIN 261 and KIN 262

Students with KIN 261 and KIN 262 will not receive credit for KIN 260/267/268; substitution

will be allowed for programs requiring KIN 260 and KIN 267

Students with BIOL 110 and BIOL 111 will not subsequently receive credit for KIN 261 and KIN

262

Students with KIN 261 and KIN 262 will not subsequently receive credit for BIOL 110 and BIOL

111

Rationale/Background

KIN 261 (Human Anatomy and Physiology I) and KIN 262 (Human Anatomy and Physiology II) were

developed as online courses to primarily assist the Faculty of Nursing in the delivery of their program off

site, although there may be benefits and options for our other programs (ie. Therapeutic Recreation).

BIOL 110 (Human Anatomy and Physiology I) and BIOL 111 (Human Anatomy and Physiology II) are

core requirements of the BSCNur.

Page 22: University of Regina · Five of: BUS 301, BUS 355-358, BUS 361-364, BUS 453, BUS 455, BUS 461, BUS 473AA-ZZ The proposed changes add BUS 453 as a required component of the major and

22

Students in the nursing program look to find online courses that they can use to fill the elective

requirements of their program and that will fit into the few available times in their busy schedule.

We have encountered some situations where students have found a course that is delivered online

but the effect is of "double dipping" when the course is one of our anatomy and physiology courses

and students have already completed BIOL 110 and BIOL 111 as part of their required courses in

the nursing program. More specifically, this semester saw a rise in students wishing to take KIN

262 after taking BIOL 110 in the fall. Recognition and inclusion in banner for the proper

equivalencies will provide more efficiency for students and staff.

Through instructor consultation and discussion with the Faculty of Nursing, the above equivalencies are

recommended.

MOTION: To change the course description and prerequisite of INHS 250 (Indigenous Language

Concepts of Health) to the following:

INHS 250 3:3-0 Indigenous Language Concepts of Health An exploration of Indigenous words, terms, phrases and concepts for health, illness and well-being, within Indigenous languages. This course will include understanding, recognizing and practicing words for describing anatomy, health, well-being, imbalances (mental, emotional, physical, spiritual), healing treatments or therapies, healing ceremonies, and herbal medicines. This course explores how Indigenous worldviews and concepts of health, illness, and well being are embedded within Indigenous languages. It will focus on theory that outlines connections between language, culture, and health. Words, terms and phrases in Indigenous languages will be utilized to further understand the connections between health and language. ***Prerequisite/Corequisite: INHS 210 200 and 3 credit hours in an Indigenous Language***

Rationale: Indigenous Health Studies 250 builds on the underpinnings provided in Indigenous Health

Studies 200 and from Indigenous language courses. This course will strive to provide a foundational

understanding of the theories and concepts of health and well being embedded within Indigenous

language.

MOTION: To change the course description and prerequisite of INHS 350 (Application of

Indigenous Concepts of Health) to the following:

INHS 350 3:3-0 Applications of Indigenous Concepts of Health This course will apply Indigenous concepts of health and well-being by working with community-based health leaders, student understandings of Indigenous knowledge, and discussions of: ethical practice, protocols, health governance, integration of traditional healing services, cultural continuity, better practices, trauma interventions (e.g. for historical trauma, post-traumatic stress disorder, and intergenerational trauma), healthy coping strategies, community strengths and socio-economic supports; and through supervised projects within Indigenous communities. This course applies Indigenous concepts of health and well being through engaged learning in the community. It focuses on connecting theory learned in the classroom to practical situations in the health field. Students will consider various models of health, policies, and programs through practical examination and reflection of their experiences, and through a focus on reciprocity, indigenizing institutions, and social justice. ***Prerequisite: INHS 300 250***

Rationale: Indigenous Health Studies 350 builds on the foundations of Indigenous Health Studies 210

and 300. The course will focus on applying Indigenous concepts of health and well being, ethical practice,

and appropriate community level supports through supervised projects with Indigenous communities.

MOTION: To change the course description of INHS 450 Community Based Traditional Healing

Practices to the following:

INHS 450 3:3-0 Community Based Traditional Health Practices Taught through exposure to traditional teachings and practices within community settings, students will develop an advanced understanding of traditional healing, sacred knowledge and practices, and helping and facilitation roles. Students will be guided and challenged to respectfully explore these practices, while maintaining the integrity of their own beliefs.

Page 23: University of Regina · Five of: BUS 301, BUS 355-358, BUS 361-364, BUS 453, BUS 455, BUS 461, BUS 473AA-ZZ The proposed changes add BUS 453 as a required component of the major and

23

This course focuses on exposure to traditional health teachings and practices within community settings, and engages students in experiential learning and reflection. Students will be guided and challenged to respectfully explore and support these practices, while maintaining the integrity of their own beliefs. The course will involve preparation, participation in a cultural camp and follow-up studies. ***Prerequisite: INHS 350***

Rationale: Indigenous Health Studies 450 will build on the practicalities of Indigenous Health Studies

350 as well as the language concepts from Indigenous Health Studies 250. Students have the opportunity

to work with Traditional Elders within community settings to gain an understanding of traditional

principles, protocols, and philosophies of traditional healing.

65% GPA required in program

Rationale: When admissions to the BA in Arts and Culture were suspended it was always with the

understanding that the Faculty of Fine Arts would replace that program with another option for students

who were interested in an interdisciplinary approach to studying contemporary culture. After

consultation and discussion with faculty members it was decided that a concentration in pop culture

creates an ideal platform for students wishing to pursue this area of study with the least amount of

resources being required to establish and continually offer the courses in the program. With the exception

of the introductory course the concentration is populated with courses already being offered by faculty

members teaching in the Faculty of Media, Art, and Performance as well as the Faculty of Arts.

Rationale: This minor responds to several initiatives at the University of Regina (including several

threads within peyak aski kikawinaw [our current strategic plan] as well as initiatives within the Faculty

of Fine Arts/Media, Art, and Performance including the establishment of the Michele Sereda Artist in

Residence as well as as current pedagogical trends and research interests being undertaken by current

faculty members. The opportunity to link the artist(s) in residence more fully with students and faculty is

desirable (and quite necessary) while providing a niche program that is unique in the prairie provinces. A

variety of minors across the Faculty of Fine Arts/Media, Art, and Performance helps students make

stronger/better use of electives and this minor provides students with the opportunity to focus their artistic

and scholarly work beyond the confines of studio and institution.

Rationale: This minor is open to all students enrolled at the University of Regina and its partners. It is

comprised of courses already being offered at the University of Regina and responds to several threads

within peyak aski kikawinaw [our current strategic plan] as well as to growing student interest and current

pedagogical trends and research interests being undertaken by current faculty members. A variety of

minors across the Faculty of Fine Arts/Media, Art, and Performance helps students make stronger/better

use of electives and this minor provides students with an informed understanding of Canadian culture.

One Art 430-480 (6 hours) 6.0 credits of 400-level ART courses (excluding ART 400 and

ART 401)

ARTH 204 ARTH 301

Rationale: These changes are both housekeeping to reflect current offerings, for brevity, and to reflect an

equal range of choices for students in their program requirements. It also corrects an error of including

ARTH 204 in the ARTH requirement. ARTH 301 is more appropriate.

th centuries, such as the

economic lives of artists, histories of patronage, the art market, wonder and curiosity, print culture and

popular culture, artistic techniques, the body, and portraiture and identity. ***Prerequisites: ARTH 212 or

213 or permission of Department Head***

*Note: Cultures of Display Option*

Rationale: The new title and description reflect the actual content of the course as it is currently taught,

and the revised description, by removing chronological references, enables art history faculty to teach the

course in rotation, according to their individual expertise. We have been removing all prerequisites in the

past three years, to promote enrolment.

Item 4: To change the description and title of ARTH 380AI Curating Time-Based Art, and make the

course a permanent offering.

Old title and description:

ARTH 360 Curating the New

This course offers students a practical course where theoretical concepts related to the display, curation,

and engagement with time-based and new art processes are put into practice in gallery, museum, or site-

specific contexts. *Note: Cultures of Display option.*

Rationale - Make the course a regular feature within the calendar and to update the title to enable the

course to include a larger scope of practice more in line with evolving contemporary processes. The

removal of prerequisites follows the current Art History policy.

Item 5: To regularize CTCH 210 AA Digital Studio Tools to CTCH 211. CTCH 210AA will be made

historical. (Effective 201620)

CTCH 211 Digital Studio Tools 3:1.5-3.0-3

This studio course explores the creative opportunities available when working digitally in the areas of fine

art, illustration and graphic design. Throughout this course students will work towards the production of a

portfolio of digital works that will include digital painting, digital collage, vector illustrations,

typography, layout design and photographic manipulations. Modules will include introductory and

intermediate skills in Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe InDesign as well as learning how

to incorporate scanned artwork or photography into works for both print and screen. *Note: Students may

only receive credit for one of CTCH 210AA and CTCH 211.*

Rationale: Assigning Digital Studio Tools a regularized course number within the Creative Technologies

Concentration and Minor is necessary to having this course designed and made available as an online

option for students in the Creative Technologies program.

30

Item 6: To create the following new course

FILM 286 AA-ZZ – Selected Topics 3:3-0

Selected Topics in Film Studies at the 200 Level

Rationale: To provide flexibility for teaching Film Studies topics at the 200 level.

Item 7: That all regularized courses currently coded as FA as well as FA 300 AA – ZZ, FA 400 AA-ZZ

be re-coded as MAP.

These include:

FA 001 Strategies for Success

FA 201 Global Migrations

FA 202 Indigenous Issues in the Arts

FA 203 Musicals on Stage and Screen

FA 301 Mapping Illness

FA 302 Queer: Cultures and Theories

FA 401 Arts Administration

FA 402 Theory and Photo-Based Practices

All courses named above will have the following at the end of the description: *Note: Students may only

receive credit for one of FA XXX and MAP XXX.

Rationale: With the Faculty’s impending name change from Fine Arts to Media, Art, and Performance

and in order to avoid confusion across the campus it is imperative that the nomenclature in the

undergraduate calendar matches the faculty name.

Item 8: To create the following new courses effective 201620

MAP 100AA-ZZ Selected Topics 3:3:0

Selected topics in interdisciplinary studies in Media, Art, and Performance at the 100 level.

MAP 200 AA-ZZ Selected Topics 3:3:0

Selected topics in interdisciplinary studies in Media, Art, and Performance at the 200 level.

Rationale: To ensure we can create experimental or topical interdisciplinary courses at the 100 and 200

level.

Item 9: To make the following courses historical.

FA 169 AA-ZZ Selected topics

FA 269 AA-ZZ Selected topics

Rationale: We have created MAP AA-ZZ courses at the 100 and 200 level. These are no longer required.

Item 10: To make the following courses historical.

FA 100 Fine Arts and Ideas

FA 200 The Arts and Everyday Life

Page 31: University of Regina · Five of: BUS 301, BUS 355-358, BUS 361-364, BUS 453, BUS 455, BUS 461, BUS 473AA-ZZ The proposed changes add BUS 453 as a required component of the major and

31

Rationale: These courses have not been offered in a long time and are not a required part of any program.

Item 11: To create a new course MAP 499 AA-ZZ Professional Placement and make FA 499

Professional Placement and AA-ZZ series historical.

The Professional Placement option is an experiential learning course giving students the opportunity to

further their knowledge and skill set(s) within an institution related to their major. Typically the field

work is done off campus. The project or terms of the placement will be developed through consultation

between the home department, the student and the institution. Supervision is jointly undertaken by the

host institution and a faculty member from the student's home department. Can be taken as a Pass/Fail

only. ***Prerequisites: Successful completion of 60 credit hours and permission of Department Head.***

3.000 TO 15.000 Credit hours

0.000 TO 15.000 Lecture hours

0.000 TO 15.000 Other hours

Rationale: The new MAP 499 makes this FA 499 AA-ZZ series redundant. As this program has grown

over the years, we have determined creating a Special Topics for every single placement is

administratively heavy. The details of the placement for each student position can be outlined in a job

description and is not required in catalogue.

Item 12: That effective 201620 the following new courses be created.

MAP 101 Introduction to Pop Culture (3:3:0)

This course will begin to map the terrain that is Pop Culture. The changing ground of pop culture has

been mapped by different theoretical and methodological approaches in ways that are not historically

fixed. This course provides an introduction to the theories, practices and evolving legacy of pop culture.

Rationale: When the arts and culture program was suspended it was agreed that the faculty would replace

that program option with another interdisciplinary program. The pop culture concentration is being

proposed but it requires the development of an introductory course that currently is not offered. This

course will be that important course.

Item 13: That effective 201620 the following new course be created.

MAP 299 – AA - ZZ – Community Engaged Practice (1-3:0-3)

This course gives students the opportunity to work in collaboration with the Michele Sereda Artist in

Residence on an artistic/cultural project focused on social and community engagement.

***Prerequisites*** Completion of 30 credit hours or permission of Associate Dean (Undergraduate)

Rationale: This course supports the work being done by the Michele Sereda Artist in Residence by

giving students an opportunity to work closely with the individual(s) selected for any particular academic

year. The residency and this course also support new curricular development around social and

community engagement as found in the University of Regina Strategic plan.

Item 14: That effective 201620 the following new course be created.

MAP 102 – Exploring Cultural Regina (3: 1-3)

Page 32: University of Regina · Five of: BUS 301, BUS 355-358, BUS 361-364, BUS 453, BUS 455, BUS 461, BUS 473AA-ZZ The proposed changes add BUS 453 as a required component of the major and

32

This course focuses on experiential learning. Students will visit a wide variety of cultural institutions

across the city, exploring and critically interacting with many of Regina’s creative organizations. *Note:

Students cannot receive credit for both MAP 102 and MAP 212*

*Note: Pop Culture Option*

*Note: Cannot be taken after a student has completed more than 60 credit hours in residency at the

University of Regina.*

Rationale: – This course fulfills a growing demand for experiential and participatory experiences for

MAP students early in their university careers and is seen as valuable tool for ongoing retention

initiatives.

Item 15: That effective 201620 the following new course be created.

MAP 204 Prairie Gothic (3:3-0)

This course will explore themes and tropes of prairie gothic across a variety of visual, performative and

written texts.

*Note: Pop Culture Option*

Rationale: This course responds to student interest as well as current pedagogical trends and research

interests being undertaken by current faculty members.

Item 16: That effective 201620 the following new courses be created.

MAP 205 Fashion and Hollywood (3:3-0) From the earliest days of movie making Hollywood positioned itself as the epitome of style. This course

examines the connections between fashion and Hollywood and how with the rise of mass entertainment

Hollywood became the runway of the people.

*Note: Pop Culture Option*

MAP 206 Shoes: The Power of the Heel (3:3-0)

From foot binding to platform heels to the bird inspired stilettos of Alexander McQueen and Cinderella’s

glass slipper, this course examines the meaning of shoes as an outward signifier of personal identity and

as social construct.

*Note: Pop Culture Option*

MAP 207 Underwear and Social Meaning (3:3-0)

From corsets and crinolines to thongs and briefs, underwear has played a major role in the construction of

personal and social identity. This course will examine major trends in the development of underwear with

a special focus on its historic role as framing, exploiting and containing sexual and gender roles.

*Note: Pop Culture Option*

Rationale: Several years ago Costume History was offered through the Theatre Department. These

courses have developed from a complete re-thinking of that course and are all being offered as a way of

making content more appealing and accessible. These classes also respond to the new area of popular

culture studies focused around critical costume studies.

Item 17: That effective 201620 FA 300 AM The Politics and Performance of Food:

Spectacle/Revenge/Abstinence be recoded as MAP 303 The Politics and Performance of Food:

Spectacle/Revenge/Abstinence

Course description and all attributes to remain the same except for the addition of the following notes.

Page 33: University of Regina · Five of: BUS 301, BUS 355-358, BUS 361-364, BUS 453, BUS 455, BUS 461, BUS 473AA-ZZ The proposed changes add BUS 453 as a required component of the major and

33

*Note: Pop Culture Option*

*Note: Students cannot receive credit for both FA 300 AM and MAP 303.*

Rationale: FA 300 AM has successfully been offered twice and now is an appropriate time to regularize

the course. The recoding follows the necessity of recoding all FA courses as MAP

Item 18: That effective 201620 the following NEW course be created –

MAP 212 – Engaging Cultural Regina (3:1-3)

This course focuses on experiential learning. Students will visit a wide variety of cultural institutions

across the city. Students will explore, respond, and critically engage with a number Regina’s

creative/cultural organizations.

***Prerequisites – completion of 30 credit hours.***

*Note: Pop Culture Option*

*Note: Students cannot receive credit for MAP 212 and MAP 102.*

Rationale: This course fulfills a demand for experiential and participatory experiences for students across

the university who want to critically engage with cultural makers and places.

Item 19: That the Music Department create the following new course, effective 201620.

MUCO 217 The Art of Music Composition 3:3-0

An introduction to composing music in a variety of styles in use since c. 1800. Students will write their

own short pieces and hear them rehearsed and performed by the Students’ New Music Ensemble.

***Prerequisite: Music reading ability***

*Note: Students who have taken MUCO 317 or MUCO 318 cannot take MUCO 217 for credit.*

Rationale:

This course at three credit hours will replace two 1.5 credit hour courses, MUCO 317 and MUCO 318.

Music reading ability is required so as to prepare students for more advanced courses in composition.

(Students who cannot read music may be able to take CTCH courses, which offer creative options without

the necessity of reading music).

Item 20: That MUCO 317 and 318 be made historical, effective 201620

Rationale:

These two 1.5 credit hour courses are being replaced by the single, 3 credit hour MUCO 217.

Page 34: University of Regina · Five of: BUS 301, BUS 355-358, BUS 361-364, BUS 453, BUS 455, BUS 461, BUS 473AA-ZZ The proposed changes add BUS 453 as a required component of the major and

Rationale: The After Degree Nursing Program (ADNP) is a variation of the regular SCBScN program.

Advanced standing is provided for individuals accepted into the program based on completion of a

university degree. The program provides an alternate path for individuals that maximizes previous post-

secondary education and gives them the opportunity to complete the SCBScN program in a shortened

period of time. It also provides an option for individuals in southern Saskatchewan that has not been

previously available but has been highly anticipated. 28 seats will be available in Regina only; Saskatoon

already has an after degree option offered by the College of Nursing, U of S. And finally, establishment

of this program addresses the staffing needs of Regional Health Authorities and provides opportunities to

Page 35: University of Regina · Five of: BUS 301, BUS 355-358, BUS 361-364, BUS 453, BUS 455, BUS 461, BUS 473AA-ZZ The proposed changes add BUS 453 as a required component of the major and

35

hire new graduates at various times throughout the year.

A student is this program will be able to complete the ADNP in 6 terms or two calendar years. With the

exception of CNUR 211 and CNUR 212, which are only for students in this proposed program, all of the

courses are already taught in the regular SCBScN program. The ADNP makes use of courses that are

already in place and scheduled in the same term. One course (CNUR 201) is scheduled for a different

term than the regular SCBScN program. This course will be offered to facilitate access in the alternate

term for students enrolled in the After Degree Nursing program.

In addition to the Faculty of Nursing Faculty Council, approval for this program has been received from

the Saskatchewan Registered Nurses’ Association, the regulatory body for Registered Nurses in

Saskatchewan. SNRA program approval is mandatory in order for graduates of the program to be eligible

for licensure in Saskatchewan, a requirement to work as a Registered Nurse.

This program was on the agenda for the CCB meeting on December 21, 2015 and was to have been

presented for approval. However, the meeting was cancelled due to lack of quorum. It will therefore be

presented at the next meeting. The Provost recommended that the program be presented to CCUAS for

approval “pending approval from CCB”. Approval by Senate in February is necessary to ensure that the

program can be advertised and enable potential applicants to complete the pre-requisites in time for the

initial intake in Sept, 2017.

Motion 2: Admission requirements (submitted as a joint motion from Enrolment Services and the

Faculty of Nursing):

To approve the admission requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) After Degree

program as noted below, effective for the 2017 Fall intake.

Admission to the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) After Degree program is competitive entry. To

be considered, applicants must have an approved university degree with a minimum UGPA of 70%. In

addition, applicants must meet the Faculty of Nursing’s ELP requirements. The following courses (or

combination of courses) must be successfully completed by August 15 of the year of admission:

BIOL 110 and BIOL 111 (with a minimum grade of 60%); or

KIN 261 and KIN 262 (with a minimum grade of 60%); or

KIN 260, KIN 267 (with a minimum grade of 60%) and KIN 268 (with a minimum grade of

60%); and

ENGL 100 level; and

STAT 100 level; and

INHS 100 or INDG 100 level

Rationale: The completion of a university degree will help to ensure that these applicants have the

academic background and scholarly experience associated with completion of a university degree, thus

enabling completion of the nursing program in a more condensed timeline. Based on students in the

regular SCBScN program who already have a completed university degree, our experience suggests that

these students are able to understand and grasp concepts more quickly and utilize critical thinking skills

that have been acquired in their previous degree programs. The Biology requirements are pre-requisite to

the majority of courses in the first term of the program, and therefore require completion prior to the

beginning of the program. There are three options available for completion of the biology requirements

which will provide maximum flexibility, enabling students to use courses for which they may already

have credit (ie. Kinesiology graduates may have already completed KIN 260 and KIN 267, and so they

Page 36: University of Regina · Five of: BUS 301, BUS 355-358, BUS 361-364, BUS 453, BUS 455, BUS 461, BUS 473AA-ZZ The proposed changes add BUS 453 as a required component of the major and

36

would only need to complete KIN 268 to meet the Biology requirement). It is anticipated that the

majority of applicants will have already completed the ENGL, STAT and INHS/INDG requirements

during their previous degree program.

II Items for Information:

The Faculty of Nursing offers the following new courses, effective 201730 term, for information:

CNUR 211 Alterations in Health & Assessment I 6:4-3

This course will introduce holistic assessment and nursing care associated with alterations of health of

adults. Learners will take a critical inquiry approach to decisions about practice, integrating learning from

other courses.

***Prerequisite: BIOL 222***

*Note: BIOL 222 can be taken concurrently*

Rationale: This course will be developed for students admitted to the BScN After Degree Program (After

Degree Nursing Program) and will contain the competencies normally taught in CNUR 107 and CNUR

203 in the SCBScN program. Because of the types of theory and competencies within these two courses,

it makes sense for them to be combined for this cohort who often tend to be more focused and able to

move more quickly through some concepts. This takes into account the life and academic experience,

prior learning and readiness for university courses that these students bring to the program.

CNUR 212 Theory & Practice Education: Foundations of Care 6:3-13 This course introduces the provision of holistic care of adults as the basis for understanding the profession

of nursing. Learners will develop fundamental nursing skills required to practice in an interprofessional

care environment. The practice education component of the course will provide an opportunity for

students to demonstrate application of nursing knowledge, informatics, and critical inquiry to inform

clinical judgment and decision making in an acute care setting.

***Prerequisite: CNUR 202; CNUR 211***

*Note: CNUR 202 and CNUR 211 can be taken concurrently*

Rationale: This course will be developed for students admitted to the BScN Program (After Degree

Nursing Program) and will contain the competencies normally taught in CNUR 103 and CNUR 205 in

the SCBScN program. Combining these two courses make sense as the skills learned in the lab and class

can be integrated into the clinical experience. This takes into account the life and academic experience,

prior learning, and readiness for university courses that these students bring to the program.

Orientation and Placement Testing as noted below, Effective May 1, 2016.

RATIONALE: To add English Language Proficiency (ELP) scores for AEAP 050 for tests also

accepted by International Admissions at the University of Regina.

The Kuwaiti students are more likely to have TOEFL scores and the students from Maple Leaf

schools* have CAEL scores. Both are valuable partners likely to send students to the ESL

program.

The suggested AEAP 050 entry scores are based on them being "one step down" from the U of R

requirements, test equivalences and what can be found for pathway program entrance scores at a number

of schools that offer ESL and credit courses.

* Quick Sheet- Maple Leaf School System

The University of Regina opened up recruitment activities with the Maple Leaf School System three years ago.

The Maple Leaf School System teaches off shore British Columbia school curriculum certified by the Ministry of

Education, Province of British Columbia.

Over the past three years we have been very engaged in recruiting at their 8 locations. Each year we attend their

schools post secondary fair which takes Canadian Universities on tour to each of their high schools. In addition to

this, we also return to each school in the Spring to follow up with the students directly.

In only three years we have had a large cohort of students gain interest in our school. We expect to receive

approximately 800 undergraduate applications this year from the fair. Currently we have a total of 79 students

attending Undergrad courses here at the U of R.

It should be noted that the school strongly recommends students attend ESL training when coming abroad.

Students do have the ability to get direct entry into Undergrad as most have satisfied this ELP requirement:

Completion of grades 11 and 12 English, in sequence, as part of two full academic years, in a high school using a

provincially- or state-accredited Canadian or U.S. curriculum OR a grade of 80% or better in a grade 12

provincially-examined English course, as part of one full term of study.

Maple Leaf has requested that students who do not meet this requirement take the CAEL test. They would like to

know what level would allow them direct entry into ESL 050.

5.8 Report from Council Committee on Budget Appendix VIII

/Council Committee on Academic Mission

Motion: To create the Bachelor of Science in Indigenous Environmental Science degree as follows Effective

Date: 201630

1. The Degree

1.1 Rational

A new Indigenous Environmental Science (IES) degree program will be developed at the University of Regina (U

of R) and the First Nations University of Canada (FNUniv). It is well-known that Indigenous people have an

important connection with the natural world and are often considered stewards of the land. As such, the Bachelor

of Science in Indigenous Environmental Science degree program will incorporate the strengths at the U of R and

the FNUniv and the unique needs of Indigenous communities, taking into account holistic Indigenous

perspectives and cultures. The Bachelor of Science in Indigenous Environmental Science degree will provide

students with tools to become experts in multi-faceted disciplines in the sciences, environmental assessment,

environmental resource management, mining, land development, natural resource exploration, and health impact.

To take advantage of these opportunities, students will take a variety of courses in sciences, focusing on

environmental and ecological topics with an indigenous worldview. Students will also acquire important

knowledge in environmental economics and community development.

The model used to develop the Bachelor of Science in Indigenous Environmental Science program is the Bachelor

of Health Studies, which is a partnership between the FNUniv and the U of R Faculty of Kinesiology and Health

Studies. Consequently, the Bachelor of Science in Indigenous Environmental Science program has five sections:

Basics and Breadth Courses, Environmental Courses, Indigenous Courses, Economics and Law Courses, and

Approved Electives.

The Bachelor of Science in Indigenous Environmental Science program will be hosted in the Department of

Biology, Faculty of Science at the U of R. Once the degree is approved, our next step is to develop a proposal for

the Indigenous Environmental Science Certificate and/or Diploma. This will target various groups of students

who are interested in short-term education, want to take a condensed version of the degree to update their skills in

indigenous environmental science and/or promote professional development.

1.2 The Need

According to the Conference Board of Canada, there is a relationship between the number of science, math,

computer science, and engineering graduates and future economic prosperity (2015). Unfortunately,

Saskatchewan is the second-to-last province with the lowest number of graduates in these disciplines (Conference

Board of Canada, 2015). Moreover, Aboriginal peoples in Canada are under-represented in science, technology,

engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Increasing the number of Aboriginals in STEM-related sectors would

bring individuals with diverse perspectives, experiences, ideas, and talents and could broaden Canada’s STEM

skill supply (Council of Canadian Academies, 2015). Improving the quantity and quality of STEM skills can be

important in sustaining Canada’s productivity and growth (Council of Canadian Academies, 2015). Not

surprisingly, STEM graduates often have higher employment rates and higher wages than non-STEM graduates

(Council of Canadian Academies, 2015). Students are picking up on the advantages related to science degrees

and Biology is one of the disciplines that have seen the fastest enrollment growth between 2002 and 2007

(Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, 2011). The demand for employment related to the energy

and utilities sector, such as those found in the natural resources industry, exploded by 77% from 2012 to 2013 in

Page 40: University of Regina · Five of: BUS 301, BUS 355-358, BUS 361-364, BUS 453, BUS 455, BUS 461, BUS 473AA-ZZ The proposed changes add BUS 453 as a required component of the major and

ACO 10-400-10 Page 40

Saskatoon (Canadian Business, 2014).

1.3 The importance of a complete Bachelor of Science compared to a Bachelor of Science minor

The Bachelor of Science in Indigenous Environmental Science degree is needed in order to attract more

Aboriginal students to the sciences. Currently, the Aboriginal students are underrepresented in the STEM

disciplines. This is certainly the case at both the U of R and FNUniv. The purpose of the degree is to address the

low number of Aboriginal science students at FNUniv. Aboriginal students interested in the sciences represent our

target market, however, the degree is open to non-Aboriginal students as well. The degree provides the U of R

and the FNUniv with the opportunity to include both indigenous and western science content in a new, innovative

degree program that will attract both Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal students to this degree. A minor would

barely scratch the surface in terms of the Indigenous content. This degree is meant to be a bridge between

indigenous knowledge and science. It is believed a minor would provide too few courses to make a meaningful

contribution. There is also hope that through the degree, cohort students and mentorship models will be developed

and serve as retention strategies for students pursuing this degree. Such strategies would be more difficult to

implement if only a minor were to be offered.

As we can see from Table 1, the number of students in science at the First Nations University of Canada

plummeted to only two students in 2010 when the institution experienced a management crisis. This number,

however, has been increasing at a steady rate over the last four years.

FNUniv sent out a survey this spring and fall to post-secondary counselors, guidance counselors and other

administrators at First Nations secondary schools throughout Saskatchewan and Manitoba. Results show that 67%

of respondents have indicated that students in their communities would enroll in the new Bachelor of Science in

Indigenous Environmental Science degree program and that this degree program would provide students in their

communities with good employment prospects. 80% of participants who responded to our survey question

regarding projected enrolments in the Bachelor of Science in Indigenous Environmental Science degree indicated

that an average of two students from their bands would enroll in the degree. If an average of two students from

each Saskatchewan First Nation enroll on a yearly basis once the degree has been firmly established and

advertised, the enrolments could potentially be as high as 140 annually if we were only to target Saskatchewan

First Nations. However, the degree is open to Aboriginal peoples outside of Saskatchewan, Aboriginal peoples

not located on reserve and non-Aboriginal people as well. These potential students are not accounted for in our

Page 41: University of Regina · Five of: BUS 301, BUS 355-358, BUS 361-364, BUS 453, BUS 455, BUS 461, BUS 473AA-ZZ The proposed changes add BUS 453 as a required component of the major and

projections. For example, if we are able to market the program effectively across the prairies and apply our survey

results thus far to Manitoba and Alberta, we are potentially looking at a pool of 126 students in Manitoba and 90

students in Alberta. The hope is to expand beyond the prairies in terms of recruitment as the degree grows.

However, for now, given the recruitment resources available at the U of R and the FNUniv, we will focus our

recruitment efforts on Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Alberta.

We are confident that the degree will attract new students to the sciences and not simply divert current students.

We hope that a science degree with a significant amount of indigenous content will appeal to Aboriginal students

who are generally not well-represented in the STEM fields. Science and indigenous knowledge often have a

dualistic relationship. This degree will demonstrate to students that these two areas need not be in opposition to

one another; they can complement one another. We believe this degree is quite unique in the sciences and will

attract new students because of this distinctiveness.

As stated in the federated agreement, all U of R, Luther and Campion students are welcome to take

classes/programs at the FNUniv. In fact, most of the students enrolled in the FNUniv science courses are non-

FNUniv students.

3. Program Costs and Staffing - instructional support, advising, advertising -- for University of Regina

and First Nations University of Canada

3.1 Instructional Support

The degree courses will be delivered by the U of R and FNuniv faculty members through the Regina campus.

Students living in the north can take certain introductory courses at the Prince Albert FNUniv campus, but would

eventually have to transfer to Regina to complete the degree. All the proposed courses, except two, are currently

offered at the university. These courses are offered through other programs and are not specific to the Bachelor of

Science in Indigenous Environmental Science program. As such, they don’t require additional expenses. This

means that professors from different disciplines have the opportunity to teach in this degree program. Faculty

will teach in the degree program based on the already existing courses we have outlined in the degree.

Only the two courses found below are new and involve costs. These two new courses do not require a laboratory

component and are online courses, so no new facilities are needed. These two new courses will be funded

through the FNuniv e-learning committee. The remaining courses within the degree are already courses being

offered.

ENVS 100

The FNuniv e-learning committee has approved the development of this new online course and has committed

$8,000 to its development with the objective of delivering it for the first time during the fall of 2016. The course

is being developed this fall (2015) by Dr. Malin Hansen. The Department of Indigenous Science, Environment

and Economic Development will budget a lecturer stipend ($6,100) during the fall of 2016 to teach this course.

Malin Hansen will work with the Center for Continuing Education to develop the online components of the

course. ENVS 100 will replace another biology course that used to be offered in the fall.

ENVS 200

DISEED will submit a proposal to the FNuniv e-learning committee to approve the development of this new

online course that would be taught in the fall of 2017.

Admission standards for the Bachelor of Science in Indigenous Environmental Science program match those of

Page 42: University of Regina · Five of: BUS 301, BUS 355-358, BUS 361-364, BUS 453, BUS 455, BUS 461, BUS 473AA-ZZ The proposed changes add BUS 453 as a required component of the major and

ACO 10-400-10 Page 42

the Faculty of Science.

3.2 Advising

Academic advisors at the U of R (Faculty of Science) and the FNUniv will help students with the degree.

The coordinator for the Bachelor of Science in Indigenous Environmental Science program will be the

Coordinator of Science (Dr. Fidji Gendron) at the FNUniv. The Department of Biology has accepted to host the

Bachelor of Science in Indigenous Environmental Science degree program within the Faculty of Science. The

Department of Biology is the best fit for many reasons. Dr. Gendron is a biologist and the FNUniv has a well-

established relationship with the Department of Biology because it already offers many courses in Biology.

Furthermore, because the Bachelor of Science in Indigenous Environmental Science degree is a Science degree,

we feel it is more appropriate to have it located in the Faculty of Science. The FNUniv already has a Bachelor of

Resource and Environmental Studies which is an arts degree; and wants to provide the opportunity for its students

to graduate with a science degree.

Science faculty members from FNUniv can attend Faculty of Science meetings and their respective U of R

departmental meetings.

FNUniv will pay for an external review if needed during the approval process.

3.3 Advertising

The FNUniv has a well-established recruitment team who will market the new degree. The Department of

Indigenous Science, Environment and Economic Development at the FNUniv is finalizing a new pull-up banner

for its indigenous science program, which the new degree is a part of; the cost of this banner is $1,338.75 and has

already been paid for out of last year’s budget. Any additional printed materials in order to advertise the new

degree will come out the 2016-17 Department of Indigenous Science, Environment and Economic Development

budget at the FNUniv. FNUniv faculty and sessionals will be responsible for the development of the two new

courses and their delivery. Faculty will help with other supports such as advising and the development of

advertising materials. All advertising materials will be shared with the Faculty of Science and Department of

Biology once they have been developed and produced.

4. Facility Requirements for University of Regina and First Nations University of Canada

The degree courses will be delivered by the U of R and FNUniv faculty members. All the proposed courses,

except two, are currently offered at the university. These courses are offered through other programs and are not

specific to the Bachelor of Science in Indigenous Environmental Science program. The two new courses (ENVS

100 and ENVS 200) do not require a laboratory component and are online courses, so no new facilities are

needed.

This new degree may increase student numbers in existing courses and existing courses with a laboratory

component. FNUniv science courses with labs (BIOL 100, BIOL 101, CHEM 104, and CHEM 140) have been

increasing significantly this last year and we have been fully able to accommodate this increase. FNUniv has the

lab space to increase the number of students in first year biology and chemistry courses and will hire more lab

instructors if necessary.

5. Program fit with the University of Regina Strategic Vision and Objectives

The degree meets all three strategic priorities highlighted in the strategic plan: Student Success, Research Impact

and Commitment to our Communities. The degree also meets the two overarching areas of emphasis that are

Page 43: University of Regina · Five of: BUS 301, BUS 355-358, BUS 361-364, BUS 453, BUS 455, BUS 461, BUS 473AA-ZZ The proposed changes add BUS 453 as a required component of the major and

ACO 10-400-10 Page 43

threaded through each core priority in the University of Regina’s strategic plan: Indigenization and Sustainability.

In terms of Student Success, we believe we are creating a degree that creates a challenging and stimulating

learning environment through the courses and labs that we offer. Furthermore, the degree provides increased

relevance for Aboriginal Students.

We believe the degree will lead to more of a research emphasis on environmental studies and sustainability,

particularly within a First Nations context, amongst the faculty in indigenous science. As more students pursue

the degree, we hope to provide opportunities for them to pursue research assistant opportunities in this research

area.

The Bachelor of Science in Indigenous Environmental Science degree came to be through a commitment to

community. The degree was created in order to address the interests in and importance of environmental studies

and sustainability, particularly in a First Nations context, amongst so many First Nations. As resource

development increasingly becomes an avenue of economic development for First Nations in Canada, the degree

provides an opportunity for students to examine the environment, the impact of human activity on the

environment, and how we can find alternative and more sustainable ways to interact with the environment.

Furthermore, students will graduate with a Bachelor of Science. We believe this type of degree will provide more

avenues of employment for students who wish to pursue careers in the sciences or in industry. FNUniv is

committed to providing academic programs that are relevant to and needed by First Nations communities. We

believe this new degree does just this.

In terms of Indigenization, the degree supports the success of Aboriginal students on campus through the content

we have incorporated into the degree and its relevance to Aboriginal students and communities.

In terms of sustainability, the courses that comprise the degree emphasize not only environmental sustainability,

but also economic, cultural and social sustainability. We believe this degree will further prioritize sustainability as

not only an academic area of interest amongst FNUniv and U of R students, but also an institutional area of

interest that staff and faculty will embrace.

6. Program fit with the First Nations University of Canada Strategic Vision and Objectives

6.1 Strategic Theme One: Indigenous Languages, Cultures, and Traditions

6.1.1 Enhance the use of traditional Indigenous methodologies and content in the classroom.

- The Bachelor of Science in Indigenous Environmental Science requires students to take a number

of Indian language courses and Indigenous Studies courses. The reason why an Indigenous

language is a degree requirement is because it helps to demonstrate Indigenous worldview, which

is important through this degree. We wish students to have a basic understanding of an

indigenous language in order to impart indigenous worldview.

- ENVS 100 is being developed this fall semester and the goal is to include indigenous science in

all sections. This will be done through videos with Elders and community members, study cases

highlighting First Nations stories and interviews with faculty members promoting indigenous

science in their research.

- The development of ENVS 200 will follow ENVS 100 and its content will be intertwined with

several First Nations examples.

Page 44: University of Regina · Five of: BUS 301, BUS 355-358, BUS 361-364, BUS 453, BUS 455, BUS 461, BUS 473AA-ZZ The proposed changes add BUS 453 as a required component of the major and

ACO 10-400-10 Page 44

6.1.2 Increase the awareness of the University’s unique Indigenous research, programming and

services.

ENVS 100 will showcase short video clips of First Nations University of Canada faculty

members engaged in indigenous science.

6.1.3 Engage communities on an ongoing basis and extend outreach and awareness of the cultural

initiatives of the University.

The Department of Indigenous Science, Environment and Economic Development at the FNUniv

has engaged communities by sending a survey to post-secondary counselors, guidance counselors

and other administrators at First Nations secondary schools throughout Saskatchewan. The intent

of the survey was to let these community leaders know about the new Bachelor of Science in

Indigenous Environmental Science degree and to gather information about the interest for such a

program. We will continue to engage with communities regarding the degree through surveys

and other initiatives this department is currently pursuing with secondary schools.

6.1.4 Strengthen the University’s unique advantage by continuing to build its cultural capacity.

The Department of Indigenous Science, Environment and Economic Development at the FNUniv

has been consistently working with Elders in both the classroom and through research initiatives.

The IES degree will also expand indigenous science’s opportunities to work with Elders in the

classroom and through research.

6.1.5 Strengthen the number of partnerships with Indigenous organizations, institutions, and

communities.

In the last year, the Department of Indigenous Science, Environment and Economic Development

at the FNUniv has been strengthening its relationships primarily with First Nations secondary

institutions in Saskatchewan both through its Indigenous Science Showcase workshops and

through the surveys it has been sending out to secondary institutions in an effort to bridge many

of the gaps that exist in science at the secondary level. We hope that this new degree will help us

to further strengthen these partnerships and expand the number of partnerships we currently have.

6.2 Strategic Theme Two: Innovative Learning Experience

6.2.1 Develop new innovative and relevant academic programs and delivery options.

The Department of Indigenous Science, Environment and Economic Development at the FNUniv

has developed a Bachelor of Science in Indigenous Environmental Science degree that will be

launched in the fall of 2016.

Two new online courses (ENVS 100 and ENVS 200) will be developed for the new degree

program.

6.2.2 Improve the quality of student services and retention to enhance the student experience.

Science faculty members are in the process of developing more of a cohort feeling amongst its

students. One meet and greet was scheduled with FNUniv science students in September 2015.

We also have one in Prince Albert where we attended by videoconference. We will continue to

hold this type of events for students throughout the upcoming year and beyond. We believe such

student-focused events throughout the academic year will improve the quality of student services

and retention for our science students.

Page 45: University of Regina · Five of: BUS 301, BUS 355-358, BUS 361-364, BUS 453, BUS 455, BUS 461, BUS 473AA-ZZ The proposed changes add BUS 453 as a required component of the major and

ACO 10-400-10 Page 45

6.2.3 Increase student enrollment by 10% year-over-year for the duration of the plan.

This new degree program will increase the number of students in our courses, especially our

science courses. We also anticipate a significantly increase in our science courses because of

videoconference and distance education initiatives this next year.

6.2.4 Take steps to strengthen relationships with K-12 schools.

The Department of Indigenous Science, Environment and Economic Development at the FNUniv

is offering a series of Indigenous Science Showcase workshops to schools on-reserve and schools

with predominantly Aboriginal students within the cities of Regina and Prince Albert. These

workshops are offered free of charge during the school year and are a great opportunity to

highlight the new Bachelor of Science in Indigenous Environmental Science degree.

6.2.5 Increase the number and variety of student scholarships targeted at the needs of students.

Science is working to develop an indigenous science entrance scholarship in order to attract more

FNUniv science students. We believe more scholarships will increase the number of science

students at FNUniv and will also attract more students to the degree and sciences in general.

6.3 Strategic Theme Three: Sustainable Growth

6.3.1 Identify sustainable funding sources that will expand and diversify the University’s revenue

streams.

Increase in student numbers will increase the FNUniv’s tuition revenue. We also hope the new

degree will attract funding sources from industry and other relevant academic and research

funding bodies.

6.3.2 Attract, develop and retain excellent staff and faculty.

The FNUniv hired Dr. Vincent Ziffle as its chemistry faculty member. He began on August 1st,

2015. He will play a critical role in this new degree.

6.4 Strategic Theme Four: Enhanced Stakeholder Engagement

6.4.1 Enhance the mutually beneficial relationship between the University of Regina and the First

Nations University of Canada to increase the number and depth of partnerships in the areas

of program development, student service and research collaboration.

The Bachelor of Science in Indigenous Environmental Science degree will be hosted in the

Faculty of Science and the Department of Biology. It is a joint partnership between the U of R

and the FNUniv.

6.4.2 Develop a marketing campaign targeted at prospective and existing students and other

stakeholders.

The Department of Indigenous Science, Environment and Economic Development at the FNUniv

sent out a survey in the spring to numerous post-secondary counselors, guidance counselors,

principals and others who work at First Nations schools on reserve and in urban centres in

Saskatchewan. The point of this was to better understand science’s target markets as we develop a

marketing campaign for promoting the new degree and our other science programs. We have

received some excellent feedback thus far.

Page 46: University of Regina · Five of: BUS 301, BUS 355-358, BUS 361-364, BUS 453, BUS 455, BUS 461, BUS 473AA-ZZ The proposed changes add BUS 453 as a required component of the major and

ACO 10-400-10 Page 46

The Department of Indigenous Science, Environment and Economic Development at the FNUniv

has also developed a new science logo that will be placed on its banner and on all marketing

materials. This banner will help to better promote the new degree and its other science programs.

6.4.3 Actively engage Elders and Alumni to increase their participation at FNUniv.

The Department of Indigenous Science, Environment and Economic Development at the FNUniv

is actively engaging Elders. For example, it has launched a number of initiatives— Indigenous

Science Showcase workshops, medicine walks, increased indigenous science content in its classes

and lab—that require significant engagement with Elders at the FNUniv. Elders and community

members will be involved in the teaching content in ENVS 100 and ENVS 200.

6.4.4 Identify and implement ways the University can engage and collaborate with Indigenous

communities with a focus on community-based programming.

The Department of Indigenous Science, Environment and Economic Development at the FNUniv

is in the process of creating a number of new online/distance education courses in an effort to

provide more community-based programming for Indigenous communities. Several courses in

the Bachelor of Science in Indigenous Environmental Science degree are already offered online.

6.4.5 Establish and strengthen mutually beneficial relationships with industry that will lead to

additional funding and the continued development of relevant programming.

The Department of Indigenous Science, Environment and Economic Development at the FNUniv

will develop relationships with industry to provide work place opportunities to Bachelor of

Science in Indigenous Environmental Science degree graduates. We are hopeful that such

relationships with industry will lead to funding.

6.4.6 Establish and strengthen mutually beneficial relationships with other post-secondary

educational institutions within the context of the existing federation agreement.

In terms of future plans, the Department of Indigenous Science, Environment and Economic

Development at the FNUniv is looking to build partnerships (largely 2+2 partnerships), within the

context of the existing federation agreement, with the following post-secondary institutions in the

next year:

--Akwesasne Iohahi:io Adult Education Centre

--Anishinabek Educational Institute

--Assiniboine Community College

--Blue Quills First Nations College

5.9 Report from the Registrar’s Office Appendix IX

Motion: To remove Section 21. History and Government, and the Faculty and Staff listings from

the respective Faculties, Colleges and Academic Units from the printed Undergraduate Calendar.

Effective Date: 201620

Rationale: In order to transition from a printed publication to an online Undergraduate Calendar, the

undergraduate calendar will need to be redefined. Before the internet, the printed calendar was the only

reference for students and administration. It was a historical record, a listing of important dates and

deadlines, a telephone directory, a promotional tool, a student services handbook, a course catalog, and a

listing of program templates and regulations. As we move towards an online undergraduate calendar, the

web will be the medium in which students and administration will access all of this information. It will no

longer be necessary to have all of this information compiled together as the undergraduate calendar.

Instead, information beyond program templates and regulations, (such as the University’s History and

Governance) can be found via links to the existing information on the web. Deciding what is necessary to

be included in the Undergraduate Calendar, will streamline the production process of the calendar; align

with the strategic plan area of environmental sustainability, and limit unnecessary duplication of efforts

across campus; therefore ensuring accuracy.

The print calendar is static and does cause confusion for readers who may find the name of a faculty or

staff member in the print calendar but is unable to find that same person on our website. Utilizing the

website as the single source of all faculty and staff information will allow administrators to update only

one information source in response to the hiring and departure of personnel. Faculty and Staff Listings are

also available in the University of Regina Telephone Directory. For the 2016-2017 edition we will ensure

the links are live in the .pdf version (online) for ease of reference.

The History and Governance of the University can be found online at the following links:
