Rationale

This program was envisioned as a joint offering with the U of S. Resource constraints at that

institution preclude further investment in the program’s development. The required resources for

the U of R to run this alone exceed those available, especially in the absence of student demand.

As First Nations University was an original partner in this program, they have also been

consulted and have no objection to deletion of this program.

B. Departments of Economics and Geography

MOTION to amend the concentration electives to joint Econ and Geog majors.

Amendment of concentration electives to joint Econ and Geog majors to read as follows:

Students may select an optional concentration by choosing one of the following sets of courses to meet their elective requirements within the major:

Environment and Resource Management: three of ECON 233, 273, 372 and 396AC; and three of GEOG 221, 309, 322, 325, 326, 328. Urban Planning and Regional Development: three of ECON 237, 277, 296AI, 354; and three of GEOG 322, 324, 422, 424. Economic Development: ECON 211, 277, 311; and three of GEOG 316, 322, 328, 330, 422.

Rationale: The Department of Economics has archived both ECON 233 and 277, and will not

bring either ECON 296AI or ECON 396AC into regular rotation, due to enrolment and resource

constraints.

II ITEMS FOR INFORMATION

The Faculty of Arts approved the following action on courses and offers them for

information.

A. Courses Created

1. Department of History

HIST 113 3:3-0

Issues in Canadian History An exploration of major themes, periods and events in Canadian History, this course introduces students to the methods and sources of historical study and familiarizes them with significant historical developments from the Canadian past. HIST 114 3:3-0 Issues in the History of the Americas An exploration of major themes, periods and events in the history of the Americas, this course introduces students to the methods and sources of historical study, familiarizes them with significant developments in the history of the Americas and encourages them to compare the historical experiences of various American peoples.

5

APPENDIX I

HIST 115 3:3-0 Issues in Western Civilization An exploration of major themes, periods and events in the history of Western Civilization, this course introduces students to the methods and sources of historical study, familiarizes them with significant developments in the history of Western Civilization and places that civilization in a global context.

HIST 116 3:3-0 Issues in World History An exploration of major themes, periods and events in World History, this course introduces students to the methods and sources of historical study, familiarizes them with significant historical developments in global history, and encourages them to make comparisons between civilizations.

Rationale:

The decision by the Department of History to drop History 101 through 112 and to replace these

courses with four new courses, entitled "Issues in World History/Canadian History/Western

Civilization/the History of the Americas," is the result of lengthy deliberation which followed the

Department's Unit Review of 2009. The Unit Review judged that there were too many first year

courses, a judgement with which the Department concurred in its Response to the Unit Review.

The Department's Strategic Plan (April, 2010) stated the intention "to improve the first-year

experience of our students by reducing the number of first-year courses available to students and

ensuring that these are subjected to careful scrutiny to ensure that they meet the needs of those

students." The "Issues in..." structure is designed to provide students with a reasonable range of

options at the first year level and to fulfil the objectives laid out in the Department's teaching

guidelines for the 100 level. These are as follows:

Courses at the 100 level introduce students to the ways in which historians think about the past,

and to some part of the variety of approaches and subjects that characterize the discipline. These

courses are designed to provide students with an introduction to some of the major topics, events

and controversies in particular fields of History, including Canadian, European, Latin American,

Asian and World History. The subject matter of courses at the 100 level is broad, but allows

within it occasions of narrow focus, to facilitate and demonstrate an examination of scholarly

debates and interpretations. The methodological and theoretical elements of courses at the 100

level prepare students for the Department’s upper level offerings in all fields. Courses at the 100

level allow an important opportunity for the recruitment of students: those who wish to pursue a

major in History, those who may take History courses as part of other programs, and those who

are driven by curiosity. Courses at the 100 level are lecture courses, but also incorporate other

ways of teaching and learning. These courses have an in-class final examination that is worth at

least 25% of the final mark.

The following are the learning outcomes of courses at the 100 level:

The development of a basic understanding of historical methods

The development of a basic understanding of key problems of historical interpretation –

the role of personal and impersonal forces, causation, the balance of change and

continuity – and the nature of historical debate

The development of a basic appreciation of a variety of historical sources

The beginning of the development of the critical and analytical skills necessary to study

primary sources

The development of a basic level of research and writing skills

The beginning of the development of oral communication skills through discussion.

6

APPENDIX I

The new courses proposed offer enough flexibility for most members of the Department to adapt

the content of courses they have already developed and to allow for a reasonable diversity in

content and approach among different instructors teaching the same course. The course

descriptions reflect the different areas of expertise among faculty. In addition, the development

of a first year course in World History reflects a trend that is apparent in History departments

across the country.

B. Courses Revised

2. Department of Religious Studies

RLST 388 379 3-6:3-6-0 Study Abroad I – an AA-ZZ series This course immerses students within the cultural landscapes of particular religious traditions through lectures, assigned readings and study abroad trips. First-hand experience of religious institutions will facilitate students’ ability to evaluate how religious sites (e.g., churches, synagogues, temples, pilgrimage destinations) have functioned among their religious contexts. *** Prerequisite: Completion of 30 credit hours. RLST 100 is recommended. ***

RLST 488 479 3-6:3-6-0 Study Abroad II – an AA-ZZ series This course immerses advanced students within the religious and cultural landscapes of particular religious traditions and includes a minimum of a two-week study abroad trip. Specific topics in the study of religion as it is practiced on-site will be addressed. *** Prerequisite: Completion of 60 credit hours. RLST 100 is recommended. ***

Rationale:

An error was made in the initial numbering of these classes when they went through the approval

process last year. RLST reserved its X80 classes (180-189; 280-289; 380-389) classes as

language classes (sanskrit, coptic, etc) AND does not accept these classes in the RLST major or

minor. The newly numbered RLST 379 and 479 are permitted in the major and minor.

C. Courses Deleted

1. Department of History

HIST 101 3:3-3 Rebellion and Resistance in Canadian History An introduction to history through a thematic study of rebellion and resistance in Canada's past. The course will extend from New France to the twentieth century. Certain historical events within Canada as well as Canadian attitudes and reactions to the great revolutions of the modern age will be studied. HIST 102 3:3-3 Canada's Wars: Early Times to the Present An introduction to the study of history that looks at the theme of war and society. The focus is on the Canadian experience from early conflicts in New France to the war in Afghanistan, with emphasis on the transformative impact of World Wars I and II. HIST 103 3:3-3 Canadian Lives: Biographical Perspectives Is there history without human agency? In seeking the answer this course examines the contributions of individuals who have effected change in the understanding of what it is to be Canadian. In culture, politics and society it is the personal commitment and passion of people which make the difference. HIST 104 3:3-3 Introduction to American Life An introduction to American life and the challenges of people who sought to understand, claim and uphold the rights and obligations of U.S. citizenship. A particular emphasis on race and gender themes in the United States will help students gain an appreciation of history as a critical and interpretive discipline. HIST 105 3:3-3 Modernization and Its Impact in 20th-Century China and Japan This course aims to impart an understanding of modernization processes in East Asia from the nineteenth century to the 1980s. Attention is focused on how China and Japan addressed the western-led challenge of modernization. Emphasis is also placed on social and economic change.

7

APPENDIX I

HIST 106 3:3-3 Life & Death in Middle Ages This course examines what it was like to live in Europe during the Middle Ages (400-1400). The themes will concern the everyday realities of ordinary people in this period: for example, childhood; love and marriage; family structures; religious beliefs; housing; diet; health, medicine, and disease; burial practices and death rituals. HIST 107 3:3-3 Contact, Conquest and Colonies: Europe and the World This course deals with European exploration and empire-building.

HIST 108 3:3-3 Culture and Conflict in Modern Europe This course looks at four periods in the history of modern Europe - the Wars of Religion, the Enlightenment, the Age of Revolutions and the 20th Century - from the perspectives of the military conflicts, the ideological commitments and the religious, class, national and supra-national allegiances that characterized them. HIST 109 3:3-3 The History of Things An introduction to the study of history that looks at the way in which historians use non-written sources in the study of the past. Examples will include: coins, images, insects and tombs. A variety of periods will be considered, from ancient times to modern. HIST 111 3:3-3 Confederation and Constitution-Building An introduction to the study of history that examines the building of Canada from Confederation in the 1860s to the present. The focus is on the Confederation process in the mid-19th century and the subsequent constitutional evolution of Canada. HIST 112 3:3-3 Latin American Revolutions of the Twentieth Century Revolution struck Latin America frequently during the twentieth century. This course explores the reasons why.

APPENDIX II

FACULTY OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION

Date: November 30, 2010

To: Council Committee on Undergraduate Admissions and Studies (CCUAS)

Re: Report from Faculty of Business Administration Council

ITEMS FOR INFORMATION

The Faculty of Business Administration submits and offers for information the following

changes to courses which were approved by the Faculty of Business Administration Council.

Changes in Prerequisites (See Appendix A for revised calendar descriptions)

BUS 205 and BUS 260

Add a prerequisite for BUS 205 (Management Communication) of AE 019 (Essentials of

Writing and Research) or ENGL 100 (Critical Reading and Writing I) or EPS 116

(Communications Skills).

Delete the prerequisite for BUS 260 (Introduction to Organizational Behaviour) of AE 019 or

ENGL 100 or EPS 116 be deleted.

Rationale

These two changes move ENGL 100 (or equivalent) as a prerequisite from BUS 260 to BUS

205. Currently there are no prerequisites for BUS 205.

ENGL 100 is more closely related to the content of BUS 205 than to BUS 260.

The change will address a difficulty with students who receive transfer credit for BUS 260

without ENGL 100. For example, students in the Hunan or Xiamen 2+2 programs complete

BUS 260 but not ENGL 100 prior to entering the Faculty and may delay taking ENGL 100

until near the end of their program because there are no courses in the last two of their

program that require ENGL 100 as a prerequisite. BUS 205 is a course normally completed

in the Faculty.

BUS 260 is a course required in some other programs (such as Certificate programs in CCE)

that do not require ENGL 100. The program requirements are increased by one course if

ENGL 100 is a prerequisite for BUS 260. BUS 205 is not a required course in other programs

and the change will eliminate this problem.

9

APPENDIX II

BUS 375, BUS 388, BUS 395

Change the prerequisites for BUS 375 (Managing Information Systems) as follows:

Current prerequisite:

BUS 210 (or ADMN 210), BUS 250 (or ADMN 250), BUS 275 (or ADMN 275), BUS 288

(or ADMN 288), and BUS 290 (or ADMN 290), and BUS 007

Revised prerequisite (changes in bold):

BUS 205 (or ADMN 205 or ADMN 265), BUS 210 (or ADMN 210), BUS 250 (or ADMN

250), BUS 275 (or ADMN 275), BUS 285 (or ADMN 285), BUS 288 (or ADMN 288), BUS

290 (or ADMN 290), and BUS 007

Change the prerequisites for BUS 388 (Cost Accounting) as follows:


BUS 288 (or ADMN 288)


BUS 285 (or ADMN 285) and BUS 288 (or ADMN 288)

Change the prerequisites for BUS 395 (Finance: Theory and Application) as follows:


BUS 290 (or ADMN 290) or ACSC 216 with a minimum grade of 60%


BUS 290 (or ADMN 290) or ACSC 216 with a minimum grade of 60% and BUS 285 (or

ADMN 285)

Rationale:

These changes add BUS 285 (Introduction to Financial Accounting) as a prerequisite to BUS

375, BUS 388, and BUS 395 and add BUS 205 (Management Communication) to BUS 375.

The prerequisites for BUS 375 are intended to require students to complete all 200-level core

Business courses prior to taking BUS 375. BUS 205 should be included on this list.

It was not considered necessary to include BUS 285 as a prerequisite for these courses

because BUS 285 is a prerequisite for BUS 288 (Introduction to Management Accounting)

and BUS 290 (Introduction to Finance) which are prerequisites. However some students

receive transfer credit for either BUS 288 or BUS 290 but do not receive transfer credit for

BUS 285. Adding BUS 285 ensures that all students have completed the necessary

prerequisite courses before taking these 300-level Business courses.

10

APPENDIX II

BUS 405

Change the prerequisites for BUS 405 (Business, Government and Society) as follows:


All required business administration courses and a minimum of 90 credit hours.


A minimum of 75 credit hours.

Rationale:

BUS 405 is no longer a core Business class and there is no longer a need for students to complete

all required Business courses prior to taking BUS 405. The 75 credit hour requirement is

intended to be sure that a student has a broad exposure to Business courses prior to taking BUS

405.

BUS 413

Change the prerequisites for BUS 413 ((Marketing Research) as follows:


BUS 210 (or ADMN 210) and STAT 200 (or STAT 152)


BUS 210 (or ADMN 210) and STAT 100 (or STAT 151)

Rationale:

BUS 413 is a required course in the Major in Marketing. It’s thought that the STAT 200

(Intermediate Statistics for Applications) prerequisite is making it difficult for some students to

complete the requirements for the Major in Marketing and the number of students choosing the

Major in Marketing is declining. It is proposed that the prerequisite be changed to STAT 100

(Elementary Statistics for Applications).

What is the effect of the change on the Major in Marketing?

STAT 100 is part of the BBA qualifying program and changing the prerequisite from STAT 200

to STAT 100 will enable more students to take BUS 413, allow them to take BUS 413 earlier in

their program, and allow them to complete the requirements for a Major in Marketing.

What is the effect of the change on BUS 413?

Those with experience teaching BUS 413 believe that STAT 100 offers a sufficient statistics

foundation for a student to learn the principles behind conducting and evaluating sound

quantitative market research, particularly as one type of research design being taught within the

context of a wide variety of methods of marketing research. The textbook that is used in the

course focuses primarily on descriptive statistics, bivariate comparisons, and correlation.

11

APPENDIX II

Change in Grading Mode for BUS 473, BUS 474, BUS 489, and BUS 492

Change the grading mode for BUS 473 (Selected Topics in Human Resource Management),

BUS 474 (Selected Topics in Marketing), BUS 489 (Contemporary Issues in Accounting), and

BUS 492 (Topics in Financial Management) to allow EITHER “Normal” grade mode OR

“Pass/Fail” grade mode. The default grade mode would be “Normal”.

Rationale:

Currently these BUS AA-ZZ series courses contain a “Normal” grading mode, which is a

percentage grade. We are finding that there are cases (and may be more in the future) where a

P/F grading mode would be more appropriate for the BUS AA-ZZ series courses.

Rationale: These revisions facilitate a captured preinternship semester for Arts Education students who are expected to participate in an arts education experience located in Melville, SK. These changes allow for students to participate fully in the experience and not be penalized for missing classes outside of Education.

3. Revisions to Arts Education Minors MOTION #3

APPENDIX III

4. Revision to ECS 200 in the Secondary After Degree (BEAD) Templates MOTION #4 In the secondary subject area BEAD templates where ECS 200 is named, that the course be replaced by one of ECS 100, ECS 110/(ECSF 110 - Core French), ECS 200 or ECS 210, effective Fall 2011. Rationale: The Board of Teacher Education and Certification recognizes Inclusive Education and Assessment and Evaluation as psychology courses for purposes of certification; therefore, it is not necessary to name ECS 200 as the required course in the BEAD templates. Rather, subject areas should be able to counsel After-Degree students to include one of the ECS 100 or 200-level courses as appropriate to each student’s background. 5. Revision to Secondary BEAD Templates (with exception to Core French – needs to be translated) MOTION #5

That §11.11.4 Two-Year Secondary BEd After Degree (BEAD) Program be replaced by the following, effective Fall 2011:

11.11.4 TWO-YEAR SECONDARY BED AFTER DEGREE (BEAD) PROGRAM To be considered for the Secondary BEd After Degree (BEAD) Program, a student must have an approved university degree which includes at least 21 credit hours of approved courses in a school teaching major and 12 credit hours of approved courses in a school teaching minor. The program normally requires completion of a minimum of 60 credit hours. Depending on courses taken in the undergraduate degree, students may be required to take additional courses, or advanced standing may be granted. Students should have their transcripts evaluated by the Faculty of Education Student Program Centre and will be assigned a faculty advisor from their teaching major. In addition to satisfying major and minor requirements, students must complete EPS 100 or ECS 100 and EPS 200 prior to the pre-internship semester. While students may, under special circumstances, take these two courses concurrently, they are urged to take EPS 100 or ECS 100 either as part of their first degree, or before they begin the BEAD program. Appropriate professional development and an average of 70% in the major are required for entrance into internship. Refer to §2.3.1.1. Students may apply to the Ministry of Education - Student Services for teacher certification (refer to §11.1.3 for contact information) after completing 48 credit hours of education coursework (including internship) and major and minor requirements. Application forms are also available from the Faculty of Education Student Program Centre, Room 354.

Rationale: These BEAD programs already exist; however, there is only one generic template listed in the undergraduate calendar for all of these programs. The Faculty of Education would like the generic template to be removed and to be replaced with each specific major BEAD template to assist students and provide clearer information for program planning. The Core French template will be included at a later date as it has yet to be translated.

II. ITEMS FOR INFORMATION

1. New Course ESST 360 & Deletion of ESST 351

ESST 360 3:3-0 Special Topics in Social Studies Education This course explores a variety of contemporary topics in the teaching and learning of social studies. *** Prerequisite: ESST 300 *** ** Corequisite: ESST 350 ** ESST 351 3:3-0 Evaluation in Social Studies Theoretical and practical consideration of ways of evaluating student achievement in a variety of learning objectives: understanding, enquiry skills, critical thinking and valuing. ***Prerequisite: 3rd year standing in Secondary Education and 36 credit hours of social science requirements.*** *Note: Normally offered in winter semester only.*

Secondary BEd Program Social Studies Major (ESST)

Semester 6 ECS 310 (3) ECS 350 (3) ECS 410 (3) ESST 350 (major instr. course) (3) ESST 351 360 (major educ. course) (3)

Rationale: As a result of program renewal, ESST 351 became redundant with the creation of ECS 410 (Assessment and Evaluation) which became a required course. The premise for developing ESST 360 was that it had to include a blend of qualities and allow for some flexibility to reflect that Social Studies is not a static field of study and it had to include evaluation techniques that students would find invaluable.

2. Community-Based Bachelor of Education Program Consistent with the University’s strategic plan, and in response to evidence of high demand and real needs, the Faculty of Education has partnered with North West Regional College to offer a Bachelor of Education program in Meadow Lake Saskatchewan commencing in Fall, 2011. This cohort delivery model of the Bachelor of Education (Elementary) program will support students wishing to become teachers in their home communities. It is an approved program which has been offered for many years, including in our teacher education partnerships in SUNTEP, NORTEP, YNTEP and NTEP. It is anticipated that approximately half of the students accepted into the program will be of First Nations or Métis ancestry. Regular high school admission requirements will be in effect as well as the possibility of admission of mature students with appropriate experience. A U of R Master’s of Education program is currently in its second iteration in conjunction with North West Regional College and the local school divisions. This program and partnership will build on this success, and substantiate our position as a provincial university wishing to be “greater in community”.

To: Council Committee on Undergraduate Admission & Studies (CCUAS)

Re: Report from the Faculty of Engineering & Applied Science Council

I. ITEMS FOR APPROVAL

1) MOTION to revise admission requirements from a Saskatchewan high school

a) to include Pre-calculus 30 and Foundations 20 as acceptable mathematics courses.

This pair of classes would replace the requirements of Math B30 and C30 in Fall

2013.

b) to delete immediately (Winter 2011) the provision of a wait list for applicants with

averages between 65.0% and 69.9%

Rationale: The addition of Pre-calculus 30 and Foundations 20 is necessary to respond to

the upcoming math curriculum changes being implemented by Sask Education. The

addition of these two courses was done in consultation with the Department of

Mathematics and Statistics. The Faculty has reviewed the admission averages of first

year students and as there are very few under 70%, the waitlist has no advantages. In

addition, at the time of accreditation of our programs in 2009, the national accreditation

team was concerned about this requirement. This revision will add transparency to the

admission requirements.

2) MOTION to revise the quota program for the Faculty of Engineering & Applied Science

to delete the waitlist for averages less than 70%.

The Faculty has a first-year enrolment limit of 200 students. Applicants will be accepted

if they have an average of 70% or higher on required high school subjects; those with

averages between 65% and 70% will be placed on a waitlist and may be accepted if space

is available.

Rationale: The Faculty has reviewed the admission averages of first year students and

as there are very few under 70%, the waitlist has no advantages. In addition, the national

accreditation team was concerned about this requirement. This revision will also add

transparency to the admission requirements.

3) MOTION to revise admission from Canadian universities and colleges (including

transfers from other University of Regina Faculties) to include an alternative path for

transfer as indicated below:

Alternatively, applicants may apply for

transfer by completing the following

three University of Regina classes:

school average have no defined pathway that will enable them to transfer into the

Faculty.

II. ITEMS FOR INFORMATION

The Faculty has approved the following course revisions and offers it for information.

1) Revised sequencing of classes for ESE & SSE programs:

Move PHYS 201 (Electricity and Magnetism) from semester 3 to semester 5 and ENEV

223 (Engineering, Environment, and Society) from semester 5 to semester 3.

One additional 200 level production course from the designated list: Film 203

(Animation), Film 205 (Photography), Film 208 (Digital Imaging), Film 207 (Audio),

and a new option ART 280 (Intermedia).

One film production elective requirement at the 400 level removed.

Film Studies requirement reduced by one.

Two additional Fine Arts electives will be required but they can be filled by any courses

including Film courses. This change to the Fine Arts outside your major component is

applied to Film and video Production Students only. This

is achieved by reducing Film 300 by 3 credits hours and the removal of one film studies

requirements.

(Course Inventory forms for courses impacted or new courses created by these changes –

413, and 460 – follow this motion for information.)

RATIONALE

The changes noted above and in the rubric and explained above are designed to give Film and

Video Production majors more flexibility. The students will now have the option to take courses

from the growing list of approved 200 level production/studio courses, without needing to use

their limited open electives. This initiative will provide students with the opportunity for greater

study within their major or to work more interdisciplinarity within other fine arts areas.

31

APPENDIX V

ITEMS FOR INFORMATION – Course Changes, Additions and Deletions (Items 1 and 4

have been approved, the remaining items have been submitted for information pending approval

at Faculty Council on December 8th

.)

Fine Arts Interdisciplinary Courses:

1. The course description for FA 499 AA-ZZ will change to the following:

FA 499 AA-ZZ 3-15: 15 – 15

Professional Placement

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 hope department, the student and the institution.

Supervision is jointly undertaken by the host institution and a faculty member from the student’s

own department.

Can be taken as a P/F only.

Pre-requisites – Successful completion of 60 credit hours and permission of department Head.

2. The following two courses be deleted:

FA 170 3:0-3 Introduction to Movement/Dance

FA 470 3:0-3 Movement/Dance V

Rationale:

These were courses created specifically for particular students who were enrolled in the Musical

Theatre Summer Intensive that was held in 2006. The classes should never have been published

in the calendar (as they were created to address specific registrations concerns around the

Musical Theatre Intensive) and, if a similar initiative is ever undertaken again they will not be

catalogued as FA courses.

3. The following courses : FA 169, FA 269, FA 369 & FA 469 (currently all entitled

Experimental Course and inventoried as 3:3-0), be revised as follows:

FA 169 AA – ZZ 0-6:0-6

Selected Topics

This series of courses is designated selected topics courses within the Faculty of Fine Arts.

Selected topics courses are those requiring pilot offerings prior to finalization of course content.

FA 269 AA – ZZ 0-6:0-6

Selected Topics

This series of courses is designated selected topics courses within the Faculty of Fine Arts.


32

APPENDIX V

FA 369 AA – ZZ 0-6:0-6

Selected Topics

This series of courses is designated selected topics within the Faculty of Fine Arts. Selected

topics courses are those requiring pilot offerings prior to finalization of course content.

FA 469 AA – ZZ 0-6:0-6

Selected Topics

This series of courses is designated experimental courses within the Faculty of Fine Arts.


Rationale: As currently described in the calendar, all FA courses ending in 69 are to be

innovative and yet as all the courses are inventoried (based on a 3 credit hour lecture model),

they are NOT very innovative. Changing the FA courses to Selected Topics as outlined above

would allow for the opening up of possibilities in how these classes might be structured and/or

offered.

4. The following courses be deleted:

FA 179 3:3-0 Experimental Course




Rationale:

The X69/X79 were created to allow the possibility of 2 ‘experimental’ FA courses being

timetabled in the same semester. The creation of the X69 AA – ZZ series makes the X79

courses redundant.

Department of Media Production & Studies Courses:

5. Film 255: World Cinema – New Film Studies Course

Course Description: Examines international world cinemas with a focus on comparing the work

of prominent contemporary directors from around the globe.

Rationale: It has been requested by the Faculty that departments make renewed efforts to work

with CCE in offering Spring-Summer courses that could be popular elective options for our own

students and students in other faculties.

6. A change to the name and description of Film 208 – to Digital Imaging ( to be cross-listed

with Film Art 223).

Course Description: An overview of digital photography and graphics.

.

Note: Students may not receive credit for both Film 208 and Art 223.

33

APPENDIX V

Rationale: Cross-listing this course will enable both MPS and Visual Arts to develop a much-

needed course in digital imaging/digital photography, as well as create interdepartmental

synergies and resource sharing while giving our students opportunities to share classroom

experiences.

Department of Music Courses:

7. Deletion of the following Music courses:

• MU 281 Opera workshop

• MU 282 Opera Workshop

• MU 332 Vocal Literature

• MU 333 String Literature

• MU 334 String Literature

• MU 351 Keyboard Literature

• MU 352 Keyboard Literature

• MU 355 Wind Band Literature

• MU 356 Elementary Orchestration

• MU 392-393 AA – ZZ Directed Studies in Music Theory

• MU 425 Fugue

• MU 456 Advanced Orchestration

Rationale: Deleted courses will either be replaced or are no longer program-required.

Department of Visual Arts:

8. Indian Art and Indian Art History – Prerequisite Changes.

Removed the pre-requisites (INAH 100) and requirements (Permission of the department head)

from Indian Fine Arts INA 210 (Traditional Indian Art I), INA 220 (Two-Dimensional Design in

Indian Art) and INA 230 (Three-Dimensional Design in Indian Art).

Rationale:

There is no pedagogical reason for the prerequisites and requirements to be in place.

34

APPENDIX V

9. Art 223 – Digital Imaging. New course cross-listed with Film 208.

Course Description: An overview of digital photography and graphics.

Note: Students may not receive credit for both Film 208 and Art 223.

Rationale: To better use human and other resources in both departments and to contribute to the

development of interdisciplinarity in the Faculty.

10. Deletion of ARTH 361: Gender, Race, and the Histories of Art.

Rationale: At the present moment, ARTH 361 and ARTH 320 Visual Culture of Women are

duplications; therefore ART 361 should be deleted.

11. The description of ARTH 222: Critical Histories of Photography will changed to the

following:

The aim of this course is to understand the technical and creative aspects of

photography organized in a semi-chronological manner in relation to the

theoretical interpretations, beginning with ancient uses of the camera obscura,

leading up to digital media in contemporary times.

Rationale: This is a more accurate description of current course content.

Faculty of Social Work

Re: Faculty of Social Work – Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) progam changes

Effective September 2011, the following motions have been approved and passed by the Faculty and Student Council, Faculty of Social Work. They are being submitted to CCUAS for approval.

MOTION 1: To add SW 100 as a Qualifying requirement for admission to the BSW. Subsequently, the three open electives for Qualifying requirements will be reduced to “Two open electives (SW 202 is recommended)”. Rationale: Adding SW 100 as a Qualifying requirement ensures students taking advanced SW courses will have a basic social work knowledge foundation. The adjustment of three open electives to two open electives maintains the current “Minimum Qualifying Requirement” of 30 credit hours. Undergraduate Calendar 2010 to 2011

17.8.2.1 Qualifying Requirements for Admission to the BSW.

36

APPENDIX VI MOTION 2: To add ENGL 110, under the “GENERAL UNIVERSITY STUDIES” section of the BSW program. Subsequently, the “Twelve Electives - university courses at the 100 level or higher” would be reduced to “Eleven Electives - university courses at the 100 level or higher”. Rationale: Adding ENGL 110 as a BSW program requirement better enables students to develop solid writing skills in advance of their professional studies in Social Work. The adjustment of “Twelve Electives - university courses at the 100 level or higher” to “Eleven Electives - university courses at the 100 level or higher” maintains the current “TOTAL General University Studies credit hours:” of 60 credit hours.

MOTION 3: To add SW 202, under SOCIAL WORK STUDIES section of BSW program. Subsequently, the “Five SW electives (Recommend one of five SW electives to be SW 202)” would be reduced to “Four SW course electives”. Rationale: Adding SW 202 as a BSW program requirement ensures social work students graduate with and essential skill for the professional practice of Social Work - Critical Thinking. The adjustment of “Five SW electives (Recommend one of five SW electives to be SW 202)” to “Four SW course electives” maintains the current “Total credit hours for BSW” of 120 credit hours.

Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) After consultation with Mr. Darrel Lawlor of CCE, and careful consideration by the Undergraduate Studies Committee of the Faculty of Social Work, the Faculty Student Council has passed three motions in regard to PLAR. PLAR MOTION #1: That SW 348, Practicum I, may be eligible for 6 credit hours of recognized prior learning credit, for prior learning obtained through a supervised practicum, employment experience in a social work setting, and/or completion of professional development courses, without having to take 2 additional classes. 38

APPENDIX VI Rationale: This change enables actual PLAR recognition as an alternative to the current waiver provision for SW 348, in which students are required to do 6 credit hours of course work if they are excused (via the granting of the waiver) for having to do SW 348, Practicum I. The completion of SW 448, Practicum II, at the University of Regina remains a requirement. PLAR MOTION #2: A student may apply for Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition, which may be obtained through a supervised practicum, employment experience in a social work setting, and/or completion of professional development activities, to be considered for social work course credit where their knowledge, skills and abilities meet the goals and objectives of that course. Rationale: This motion identifies the commitment in principle of the Faculty to PLAR, and sets the parameters to guide PLAR assessment process in the context of social work professional educaton. PLAR MOTION #3: Students may be granted a maximum of fifteen (15) social work credit hours for recognized prior learning towards the social work portion of the BSW program Rationale: This motion affords ample recognition of prior learning of certain incoming students, while maintaining the requirement of a strong academic preparation for the professional practice of Social Work.

APPENDIX VII

CCUAS Matters from the Registrar’s Office. (Dec. 2010)

1. Letters of Permission including International Students.

Current policy does not allow the university to admit students studying at foreign universities on Letters of Permission. Our policy is as follows:

2.5.9 VISITING (INCLUDING CAMPUS SASKATCHEWAN)

The Visiting Student Program allows students of another accredited Canadian university, college, or technical institute (the "home institution") to take courses at the University of Regina towards their program at the home institution.

Visiting students are admitted and registered by the Registrar's Office. Applicants must submit (by mail or in person) a completed Application for Visiting/Accelerated Admission & Registration, with the application fee (§2.1.1), and a letter of permission from their home institution that lists the courses that they have permission to take. The letter of permission will be accepted either directly from the home institution or from the applicant.

The University of Regina allows its students to study at foreign universities on a Letter of Permission. This makes it difficult to understand the, possibly unintentional, restriction on admitting students who are matriculating in other countries. It should be noted that these student will not receive a degree from the University of Regina. We therefore move,

THAT the university amend its regulations so as to allow for the admission of students on Letters of Permission created at legitimate post secondary institutions outside of Canada.

Rationale: This corrects the current peculiar situation which allows our students to study in foreign institutions on our Letter of Permission, but does not allow students from those institutions to study here.

2. Undergraduate Research Associate Program.

Although the university has been informally hosting international undergraduate students who are not registered in courses or academic programs, we have no clear authority to do so. We have such authority with respect to graduate students. We need a mechanism by which undergraduate students can also receive university identity cards and access to certain facilities.

The policy governing our Visiting Graduate Research Student Program is as follows:

Visiting Graduate Research Student. Research has become increasingly interdisciplinary and networked, and as well, research equipment has become more specialized and costly. Accordingly, graduate students from one university may seek opportunities to spend time at

40

APPENDIX VII

another university in order to complete or enhance their research. The Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research (FGSR) encourages graduate student mobility nationally and internationally in order to foster the exchange of ideas, specialized training, research collaboration, and interdisciplinarity [sic]. The visiting graduate research student category is available to graduate students who are enrolled in a degree program at an accredited university. Students register in GRST 995AG each semester, and other than incidental fees, including the $500 fee for international students, no other fees apply. Visiting graduate research students will be afforded access to basic research services and to basic student services. Access to health and other benefits plans, transit passes, etc. will need to be arranged separately. Please note that visiting graduate research students may not enroll in, or audit, courses at the University during their stay.

To allow for a similar program aimed at undergraduate students, we move,

THAT the university create an Undergraduate Research Associate Program, similar to the Visiting Graduate Research Student Program. This new program will allow the university to welcome and host undergraduate students who are not registered in courses. Students with this status will have access to the basic student services such as the university’s library and

recreational facilities. Health insurance and the like will not be provided or organized. Students will pay $100 each time they apply. A letter of sponsorship and recommendation from the University of Regina’s hosting faculty will be a requirement of acceptance to the program. If accepted, such persons will pay an annual fee of $400 that includes all incidental fees.

Rationale: The university needs the authority to host undergraduate students, who are invited by various faculties to participate in research and other related activities.

3. Duplicate and Replacement Degrees.

In some parts of the world, degree certificates are used like transcripts: originals must be submitted to authorities. In response to this, some Canadian universities with significant numbers of students who have international aspirations have developed flexible policies concerning their degree certificates. These universities also have more stringent controls on replacement certificates. Currently, the University of Regina has no authority to issue duplicate degree certificates. The university has only the following policy on replacement certificates:

41

APPENDIX VII

6.8.3 REPLACEMENT DIPLOMAS

A replacement diploma will only be produced if the original has been damaged or lost (replacements are identified as such), by applying to the Registrar’s Office using the “Replacement Diploma” order form on the Convocation home page (www.uregina.ca/convocation), accompanied by the processing fee. A damaged diploma must be returned to the Registrar’s Office in exchange for its replacement.

Given the increasingly global aspirations and involvement of our graduates, moved,

THAT the university issue duplicate diplomas marked as such, upon request by a graduate and receipt an appropriate fee.

AND THAT, the university require a statement sworn before a notary or commissioner of oaths in support of a graduate’s claim that a diploma has been lost or destroyed.

Rationale: This addresses our university’s inability to offer its graduates duplicate degree certificates. These motions maintain the distinction between duplicate and replacement degree certificates. The current regulatory framework rewards graduates who misrepresent the condition of their original degree certificate. We currently rarely receive damaged certificates. And alumni receive replacement degrees based on only their informal declarations on our request form.

4. Appeals Concerning International Fees.

Current university policy concerning tuition and fee appeals is unresponsive to the location of relevant expertise within the university. In s. 4.2 we state the following, in recognition of the role of UR International:

Students who are living in Canada as authorized workers or as part of a family unit dependent on an authorized worker, and who have applied for permanent resident status, may be charged fees at the domestic student rate. Students apply for this exemption at the International Student Success Office, and must provide the originals of all supporting documentation, which will be returned to them after a copy has been made.

However, appeals regarding the applicability of all fee rates are directed to the Registrar’s Office per s. 4.13.

Students may make a written appeal to the Registrar with respect to the outcome of their application for an adjustment of fees. The Registrar’s decision is final.

APPENDIX VII

This is the result of failing to distinguish between the tuition and fees attached to registration in courses, and the tuition rates applicable to various kinds of students. The expertise regarding the status of students with respect to international fees lies in the office of UR International. Hence, we move,

THAT appeals regarding the application of the differential tuition rate for international students and related differential fees be directed to UR International, who shall be responsible for adjudicating such appeals within the framework of natural justice.

Rationale: UR International has the expertise necessary to assess evidence relating to the applicability of international differential tuition rates.
