Rationale: Dr. Jeffrey Burwell, S.J. has been appointed the new Director of Catholic Studies at Campion College as of July 2019. His rationale follows:

As the Director of the Catholic Studies program at St. Paul’s College on the University of Manitoba campus between 2008 and 2016, I frequently collaborated with academics connected to the various Catholic Studies programs across Canada; the Catholic Studies course offerings and subsequent academic methodologies found at many of our Canadian universities were frequently discussed. My sense is that there is a clear and standard Catholic Studies framework used by most institutions, and this exciting interdisciplinary program has a certain national homogeny.

All the same, when I arrived to Regina in 2017 to begin my work, it was clear that the Catholic Studies program at Campion College on the University of Regina campus did not conform to other programs of similar scope across the nation. In particular, there was a 15-credit hour prerequisite for all 200 level Catholic Studies courses and a 30-credit hourprerequisite for all 300 level Catholic Studies courses. This made very little sense ascourses taken outside the discipline do not provide the required foundational material toseriously engage the course, so having a minimum credit hour prerequisite was notuseful. To this end, I abolished the credit hour prerequisites and recategorized the CATH200 course so it formally serves as an introductory course (with no prerequisite itself) forall other Catholic Studies courses unless the instructor’s permission has been given. Thisintroductory course will provide all the material necessary to engage all other higher levelCATH courses.

In addition to having no formal introductory course, a second concern that I noted is that there was no particular scaffolding methodology for the Catholic Studies minor. Students could — in theory — complete the entire minor by only taking one CATH designated course and a haphazard selection of unconnected electives. This approach is unusual when compared to other Catholic Studies programs across Canada. As such, I changed the program so every student seeking the minor must take the CATH 200 course as an introductory course as well as a minimum of two other CATH courses to complete the minor. The other courses in the minor could be selected from various other related interdisciplinary electives offered through other departments.

Concerning these electives, I initially noted that a wide variety of them did not actually have much to do with Catholic Studies. A clear distinction is normally made between Catholic Studies and Theology, and experts in the field recognize that Catholic Studies is an academic engagement of the Catholic tradition—not a course in Theology. As such, I deemed it inappropriate to include courses such as Philosophy and Greek in the Catholic Studies minor as these are more useful and connected to schools of Theology. In addition to this, many of the other courses that were initially included as electives were not useful for Catholic Studies students. For example, the inclusion of RLST 100 as a requirement in the Catholic Studies minor seemed somewhat arbitrary as Religious Studies and Catholic Studies are different disciplines. To this end, I streamlined the elective courses and deleted all courses that both were not directly related to Catholic Studies and would be considered dubious by Catholic Studies scholars at other institutions. The deletion of a number of electives standardizes the Catholic Studies program in Regina and helps it more fully comply with the interdisciplinary standards adopted by other departments across Canada.

Finally, the number of courses needed for the minor in Catholic Studies was reduced from 7 to 6 in order to make the program more accessible to students. As well, some of the wording in the CATH 200 introductory course was changed in order to simplify it and ensure that it is more easily understood by students seeking an elective.

Motion 2: German Programs – Admission Suspension

To suspend admissions to the major, minor and certificate in German, effective 202020.

Rationale: These changes are being made in order to reduce the financial footprint of the German program, given the current teaching resources. The revised certificate will require three fewer German language courses than the current certificate. Reducing the language courses required will affect the course rotation and allow students to complete their requirements more quickly.

Objectives: To maintain some German programming at the University of Regina, but to reduce

its financial footprint, given the reality of current teaching resources To increase interest in the programme To address the issue of course minima

Modifications to Programme: The major and minor would be discontinued The certificate has been redesigned to make it more attractive. It would require

three fewer German language courses than the current certificate and two fewerthan the current minor.

The number of German “language” courses in the programme would be reduced by42.8 % (from seven to four). This would affect the course rotation substantially.Because language courses must be taken in sequence, having fewer requiredwould allow students to complete the requirements more quickly.

The language courses offered would be: GER 111, 112, 211, and 212. Thesecourses, would be modified to cover fewer grammatical concepts and emphasisegreater mastery of skills. Specifically, the current textbook and online materials(Treffpunkt Deutsch), which covers the first four courses (four chapters per course),would now cover the entire range of language courses and cover three chaptersper course. This de-emphasis on grammar would also allow for the inclusion ofmore cultural content.

To preserve balance in the certificate, one additional German course would berequired. Language learning would not be the focus of such a course.

Examples: 1.) Introduction to the Cultures of German (GER 2xx) 2.) Reel German Culture through Film (GER 2xx) 3.) German Cities (GER 2xx) 4.) German Culture in Saskatchewan (2xx)

By reducing the number of language-centred courses to four and increasing thenumber of approved electives to five, less emphasis is placed on attaining fluency inGerman and more emphasis placed on breadth of knowledge in related subjectmatter. By the end of German 212, students will have achieved proficiency in therange of CEFR A2/B1, straddling the categories of Basic/Independent User. Thetextbook Treffpunkt Deutsch, like other introductory programmes, introducesstudents to most of the basic concepts in German.

International experience (e.g. Berlin course, CSSG, other) would be stronglyencouraged to satisfy requirements of the programme and address the objective ofinternational experience. The Department would seek recognition for students goingabroad in terms of enrollment (or lack thereof) in our own classes. In other words, if astudent obtains credit abroad, and uses it in completing a certificate, the creditobtained abroad and ultimately transferred could be counted in our enrollmentstatistics.

More advanced-level courses could be offered as directed reading courses if there isdemand.

Motion 3: Creation of Certificate in German Language and Culture

To create the Certificate in German Language and Culture as outlined below, effective 202020.

Rationale:

To maintain some German programming at the University of Regina, but to reduce itsfinancial footprint, given the reality of current teaching resources

To increase interest in the programme

To address the issue of course minima

Modifications to Programme:

The major and minor would be discontinued.

The certificate would be redesigned to make it more attractive. It would require three fewerGerman language courses than the current certificate and two fewer than the current minor.

The number of German “language” courses in the programme would be reduced by 42.8 %(from seven to four). This would affect the course rotation substantially. Because languagecourses must be taken in sequence, having fewer required would allow students to completethe requirements more quickly

N.B.: In the first version of this proposal ENGL 100 was not included in the 30 credit hours,as it is in the current certificate. I have added this to the proposal, with the effect that reducesthe approved electives by 1 (to 4).

Rationale: JS 384 Advocacy Strategies and Skills is being revised to JS 484 Community Advocacy and Public Policy (these revision are noted under Items for Information). The change in the name of the course better reflects what is actually, currently being taught. Core concepts of advocacy/social change, the role of communities and non-profit organizations working together, and the focus on changing unjust public policies for the common good, are taught. Further, moving this course from a 300-level to a 400-level, creates a more logical flow of content for students in our program; they are introduced to these core concepts in JS 280, then examine these more deeply in JS 317 and finally, undertake critical analyses of case studies and develop actual public policy recommendation in JS 484. Essentially, by raising it to a 400-level, we’ll better facilitate the knowledge and skills development of our senior students.

Motion 5: Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics Revision

To revise the Philosophy requirements within the Bachelor of Arts in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics, effective 202020.

Rationale: The basic reason for these changes is to allow students more flexibility in choosing the courses needed to complete the Philosophy side of the major. Also, we want to ensure that a sufficient number of these courses is taken at the 300-level or above.

Rationale: The small number of open electives in the Psychology BSc program and the absence of open electives in the Psychology BSc Hons program is causing a problem for a number of students in these programs, in addition to discouraging those who are interested in transferring into these programs. Many students have taken courses from outside of Science, Arts, or MAP that do not fit into these degrees. This is especially problematic within Psychology’s own programs for BSc students who decide to pursue Honours and now can't use their completed open electives, and for BA/BAHons students who decide the BSc might be a better fit, but similarly can't use most or all of their completed open electives to form part of their degree. In short, this is making it so that students are having to take extra courses to complete their degrees thereby extending their time in the program, or discouraging them from pursuing these programs entirely, particularly the BScHons which currently has no open electives at all. Further, there are a number of courses outside of Science, Arts, and MAP that would be quite relevant for psychology students (e.g., anatomy in KIN for neuro-focused students) that do not fit anywhere within the current BSc Hons degree, since there are no open electives.

The proposed changes fall within the BSc and BSc Honours guidelines as outlined in the Academic Calendar (i.e., a minimum of 18CH in Arts/MAP; a minimum of 66CH in Science, which includes PSYC courses; and a maximum of 18CH that are not in Science/Arts/MAP), and improve flexibility in regards course selection and potential minors.

Appendix II

4.2 Faculty of Business Administration

The Faculty of Business Administration has approved and recommends

for approval the following motions.

Item for Approval

Motion 1: Admission Requirements

That requirements for undergraduate admissions to the Faculty of Business Administration and its undergraduate programs be amended as described below, effective 202030.

(a) Admissions to the following programs would be suspended effective 202030:

Bachelor of Administration Qualifying Program

Bachelor of Business Administration Qualifying Program

Diploma of Administration Qualifying Program

Diploma of Business Administration Qualifying Program

(b) Minimum requirements for admission to specific Faculty of BusinessAdministration undergraduate programs would be removed and the minimumstandards for undergraduate admission to the Faculty of Business Administrationwould apply to all the Faculty’s programs. Effective for admissions for the 202030term.

(c) The minimum high school average for eligibility for undergraduate admission tothe Faculty of Business Administration would be changed from 65.00% to 70.00%.Effective for admissions for the 202030 term.

(d) Applicants who have attempted 15 credit hours or more of approved post-secondary courses with a minimum UGPA of 65.00% on those courses would beeligible for undergraduate admission to the Faculty of Business Administration.Effective for admissions for the 202030 term.

(e) The criteria for designation as an “Excellence Student” would be maintained(BBA program applicants with a 85.00% Canadian High School average or greater),but the meaning of the designation would be changed to refer specifically to theapplicant’s eligibility to receive a Faculty of Business Administration ExcellenceScholarship. Effective for admissions for the 202030 term.

Undergraduate Calendar Impact follows the rationale.

Rationale: Background. The Faculty of Business Administration (FBA) has four undergraduate degree/diploma programs:

Bachelor of Administration--4 year degree (First Nations University)

Bachelor of Business Administration--4 year degree (U of Regina campus)

Diploma of Administration--2 year diploma (First Nations University)

Diploma of Business Administration--2 year diploma (U of Regina campus)

Since 2007, the FBA has also had four undergraduate non-degree programs, each of

of 82


which is embedded within a degree or diploma program:

Bachelor of Administration Qualifying Program – 10 courses (First NationsUniversity)

Bachelor of Business Administration Qualifying Program – 10 courses (U ofRegina campus)

Diploma of Administration Qualifying Program – 5 courses (First NationsUniversity)

Diploma of Business Administration Qualifying Program – 5 courses (U ofRegina campus)

The 10 (or 5) qualifying courses are part of the degree (or diploma) program—not a separate set of courses. Most applicants to FBA undergraduate programs are not allowed direct entry into their desired program, but rather are placed initially into a qualifying program. Specifically, students with a high school average of 65.00-84.99% pursuing a BBA are placed in the BBA Qualifying Program. All students seeking a BAdmin are placed into the BAdmin Qualifying Program. To get into the actual degree program, qualifying students must earn a PGPA of at least 65.00%. All students seeking a DipBA or DipAdmin must first complete the DipBA Qualifying Program or the DipAdmin Qualifying Program with a PGPA of 65.00%. Only the Excellence students (those applicants to the BBA program with an 85.00% Canadian high school average or greater) are admitted directly into an FBA program.

The qualifying programs fulfil both a screening and a preparation purpose for the degree/diploma programs. Specifically, the criteria for the BBA and BAdmin qualifying programs prevent FBA students who have not successfully completed ENGL 100, ECON 201, MATH 103, STAT 100, CS 100 and BUS/ADMN 100 (plus four other courses where there is some choice) from taking 300- and 400-level business classes and delay their ability to take 200-level classes until very late in the registration period. A similar system exists in the Diploma qualifying programs except with 5 qualifying courses. Those students who make it through the qualifying program will have learned important preparation material for the remainder of their diploma or degree program. Those students who do not successfully complete the qualifying program will ultimately be required to discontinue studies (RTD) in the Faculty of Business Administration.

Norms within U of R. The practice of placing students with a less than 85.00% high school average (and all applicants from those with a post-secondary background) into a qualifying program is atypical at the University of Regina. Other Faculties at the U of R typically accept students directly into their programs. However, there are other qualifying programs at the U of R. The Faculty of Science and the Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies (KHS) have qualifying programs as well--but only for students who do not meet their admissions requirements (i.e. these students are unqualified for admission; therefore, they must take a qualifying program). Typically, these students are placed in the Science or KHS qualifying program because they did not meet the required 70.00% minimum admission high school average or they were missing one or more required high school classes. The Indigenous Social Work program is a little more like the FBA approach. In this case, all eligible applicants are initially placed in the qualifying program and demonstrate eligibility to enter the certificate or degree program on that basis.

Norms of western Canadian business schools. The FBA is at odds with neighbouring business schools with respect to its approach to admissions. Most Western Canadian business schools admit students directly to their business degree program (Manitoba, Winnipeg, Saskatchewan, Calgary, Lethbridge, SFU, UBC, Victoria). However there are generally options for transferring in to the business program after taking post-secondary in another faculty (or another university). An

of 82


exception is the University of Alberta which requires all applicants to take a pre-professional year (similar to our old Pre-BUS/ADMIN program). Theoretically, there is nothing wrong in itself with being different from one’s peer group. But, as a practical matter, it may not serve us well to diverge too much from neighbouring business school admissions practices in ways that are not attractive to students.

Student and applicant experience. We are concerned that placing a large majority of our students in a qualifying program rather than the program that the student is interested in may have the perverse effect of deterring the better students from registering (or even applying) at the University of Regina. The students with good high school or post-secondary marks are the students that will have options to go elsewhere and who will likely to be offered direct entry by other Western Canadian business schools. Those students on the lower end would be more likely to consider placement in the qualifying program to be fair.

Many qualifying students who do choose to register here do accept their situation and go through the qualifying program experience without complaint. But many students who visit our FBA front desk find their situation as a qualifying students confusing and their lack of access to FBA courses frustrating. From their perspective, they are students in the Faculty of Business Administration, so have difficulty seeing why they are barred from registering in nearly all business classes even while paying the same premium tuition as those in the degree or diploma program.

The approach that we are proposing is to shift from limiting access to business classes through the qualifying program to using a prerequisite structure to ensure academic readiness and success. Undoubtedly some students will still dislike being prevented from taking a class because they don’t have the prerequisite. But a prerequisite based restriction is linked to academic readiness. In addition, in a prerequisite based restriction, the restriction applies to the course, and not to the person. Every student would be equally subject to prerequisite restrictions – and access to classes would no longer be based on the classification that a student is in.

Staff time associated with qualifying programs. The FBA currently has 500-600 students in its qualifying programs. These qualifying students need to be monitored for eligibility to be transferred to a degree or diploma program. Specifically, any student with a PGPA of 65.00% or more on qualifying courses as well as other program-relevant courses taken, will need to be manually transferred from their qualifying program to their degree/diploma program. (The criteria for transfer are complex enough that this cannot be accomplished automatically.) All of this takes up a good deal of staff time. Moreover a component of program advisor time goes into coaching students on getting their qualifying program classes completed in order to be transferred from being a FBA qualifying student to an FBA degree or diploma student. As the number of students admitted annually increases, the time devoted to the qualifying student monitoring, advising and transferring process is also increasing.

Minimum high school entrance standard. We are also rethinking our minimum high school entrance standard. There has been a concern that, through the qualifying programs, applicants with rather low high school averages are admitted into the FBA. The data available to us suggest that students admitted to a qualifying program with a high school average of 65.00-69.99% have tended to do poorly in the program: Of the early conditional admits in this range during the period 2014-18, approximately 90% have either dropped out (or never registered), or have a GPA that is insufficient for graduation (<65.00%). The original idea had been that, through the qualifying programs, even marginal students (65.00-69.99% high school

of 82


average), could be admitted to the FBA and then earn their way into the BAdmin/DipAdmin/BBA/DipBA, but the data described above indicate that this is not working out well for a large majority of this group of students, and their admittance into the FBA with a high school average as low as 65.00% may be giving them a false signal about their potential for success in our programs.

The data available to us suggest that students with an early conditional high school average of 70.00- 79.99% have a somewhat greater likelihood of success. However, these data do not suggest a clear dividing point within the 70.00-79.99% high school average range that one could use to predict future success. We note that several other Faculties at the University of Regina (Engineering and Applied Science; Kinesiology and Health Studies; Nursing, Science, and Social Work) have a 70.00% high school admission average in some form. It is being proposed that we change the minimum high school entrance average to 70.00% for now, consistent with several other U of R Faculties. We would continue to provide an opportunity to be able to earn FBA admittance through taking classes in another Faculty or other Post-Secondary Institution. We would plan to continue to collect data on this matter to consider whether any further adjustment to the minimum admission average would be necessary.

Explanation of the motion. The above motion would put in place an approach to undergraduate admissions that is more similar to the norms of surrounding universities and of other University of Regina Faculties. Under this system, students who meet the criteria for admission to the Faculty of Business Administration (FBA) would be directly admitted to their desired degree/diploma program. The proposal is that the high school standard for admission to the FBA would be a high school average of 70.00% or greater. In the case of students who have attempted 15 hours or more of approved post-secondary courses, it is proposed that the admission standard to the FBA remain at a UGPA 65.00% on those courses (but those individuals would now be given direct entry to their desired degree/diploma program).

Part (a) of the motion proposes to suspend admissions to the qualifying programs. However, the qualifying program itself would remain in place for up to five years to accommodate students who have not met the requirements for the BBA program in the transition period. We believe that our prerequisite structure that has recently been enhanced will provide the preparation currently provided by the qualifying programs.

Part (b) proposes removing the program specific undergraduate admissions requirements that were placed on FBA programs in 2007 and moves us to a Faculty wide admission standard that relates to all of our programs.

Part (c) proposes that the high school average required for undergraduate admission to the FBA be 70.00%, as discussed above.

Part (d) relates to students applying for undergraduate admission from other universities or colleges or other Faculties of the University of Regina. The current calendar provision is: “Applicants who have attempted 15 credit hours or more of approved post-secondary courses with a minimum UGPA of 65.00% will be admitted to the Qualifying Program.” If the motion were carried, eligible post-secondary applicants would obtain direct access to their desired FBA degree or diploma program.

Part (e) proposes to redefine the term “Excellence Student” to restrict this category of student to those eligible to be awarded an excellence scholarship.

We have identified a set of fair transitional provisions to determine how students who are currently in the qualifying program will be dealt with. Admissions, page 7 (online calendar)

Early Conditional Admission to the Faculty of Business Administration – for current high school students

The Faculty of Business Administration admits applicants from Canadian high schools who are applying for early conditional admission, and who present an 85% or higher early conditional admission average, directly into the Business Administration degree program through the Excellence program. International (study permit) high school students will be considered on an individual basis for the Excellence program. Other Early Conditional applicants with an early conditional admission average of 65.00%-84.99% are admitted to the Faculty of Business Administration as Qualifying Students.

The Faculty of Business Administration Council approved the following course changes and presents the changes for information.

Prerequisite change

That prerequisites for BUS 491 be changed to allow for concurrent enrolment with BUS 395 as

follows, effective 202030.

BUS 491 3:3-0 International Financial Management This course develops a broad conceptual framework for making international financial decisions. Topics include purchasing power parity, spot and forward exchange rate fundamentals, and foreign exchange risk. *** Prerequisite: BUS 395 (or ADMN 395) (concurrent enrolment is allowed)*** * Note: Students may not receive credit for both BUS 491 and ADMN 491.*

Rationale: In a review of courses and prerequisites it was determined that the material covered in BUS 395 is not essential material to prepare students for academic success in B491. However, BUS 395 serves as a gateway course towards obtaining a major in Finance. There is a minimum requirement of obtaining 60% in BUS 290, Introduction to Finance, to be able to enroll in BUS 395. This ensures that only students who possess the necessary quantitative and financial skills to succeed in advance finance courses, are able to enroll in the 400 level finance classes. On the flip side, having BUS 395 as a prerequisite to all finance courses is unnecessarily restrictive for students wishing to pursue a finance major. Allowing concurrent enrollment in BUS 395 will remove this hurdle towards achieving a finance major, while maintaining the rigor of the program.

Prerequisite change

That BUS 395 be removed and BUS 290 added to the prerequisite for BUS 494 as follows,

effective 202030.

BUS 494 3:3-0 Derivatives and Risk Management This course introduces students to the derivatives tools used in risk management. Topics will include the mechanics of futures, options and other derivatives markets; pricing; and strategies for using these instruments for risk management. *** Prerequisite: BUS 395 (or ADMN 395) (concurrent enrolment is allowed)*** * Note: Students may not receive credit for both BUS 494 and BUS 492AE.*

Rationale: In a review of courses and prerequisites it was determined that the material covered in BUS 395 is not essential material to prepare students for academic success in B494. However, BUS 395 serves as a gateway course towards obtaining a major in Finance. There is a minimum requirement of obtaining 60% in BUS 290 to be able to enroll in BUS 395. This ensures that only students who possess the necessary quantitative and financial skills to succeed in advance finance courses, are able to enroll in the 400 level finance classes. On the flip side, having BUS 395 as a prerequisite to all finance courses is unnecessarily restrictive for students wishing to pursue a finance major. Allowing concurrent enrollment in BUS 395 will remove this hurdle towards achieving a finance major, while maintaining the rigor of the program.

Prerequisite Change

That BUS 335AC Business Analytics be added as a prerequisite for BUS 488 as an alternative to BUS 270 as follows, effective 202030.

of 82


BUS 488 3:3-0 Advanced Managerial Accounting This course is designed to integrate and evaluate managerial planning and control concepts. System design, control in large organizations and the impact of internally generated information on capital markets are emphasized. *** Prerequisite: BUS 270 (or ADMN 270 or BUS 335AC), and BUS 388 (or ADMN 388)*** * Note: Students may not receive credit for both BUS 488 and ADMN 488. *

Rationale: BUS 270 is currently a prerequisite for BUS 488 because it teaches quantitative techniques that provide an important background to BUS 488. BUS 335AC Business Analytics also covers quantitative techniques, e.g. regression analysis. Therefore taking either of these courses will provide the students with the quantitative skills required to succeed in BUS 488.

Prerequisite Change

That prerequisites be added to BUS 260 and ADMN 260 as follows, effective 202030.

BUS 260 3:3-0 Introduction to Organizational Behaviour This introductory course addresses the basic concepts and processes of organizational

behaviour. Topics will include: individual level variables, such as perception, personality,

attitudes, and motivation; interpersonal and group processes, such as communication, teams,

leadership, and power; and, organizational level factors such as organizational design, culture,

and change.

**Prerequisite: ENGL 100 or ACAD 100 or KIN 101**

* Note: Students may not receive credit for both BUS 260 and ADMN 260.*

ADMN 260 3:3-0 Introduction to Organizational Behaviour This introductory course addresses the basic concepts and processes of organizational behaviour. Topics will include: individual level variables, such as perception, personality, attitudes, and motivation; interpersonal and group processes, such as communication, teams, leadership, and power; and, organizational level factors such as organizational design, culture, and change. **Prerequisite: ENGL 100 or ACAD 100 or KIN 101** * Note: Students may not receive credit for both ADMN 260 and BUS 260.*

Rationale: In a review of courses and students’ academic readiness it was determined that in

order to better prepare students for academic success in BUS 260 students need to have a

baseline skill set and knowledge in University level writing and academic expectations. The

prerequisite of ENGL 100 or ACAD 100 or KIN 101 will better prepare students for success in

BUS 260.

Prerequisite Change

That prerequisites be added to BUS 285 and ADMN 285 as follows, effective 202030.

BUS 285 3:3-2 Introduction to Financial Accounting This course presents the fundamentals of financial accounting theory and practice at the

introductory level. Basic accounting principles, their application in modern business

organizations, and the preparation of business records and financial reports are considered.

**Prerequisite: ECON 201 or ECON 100**

*Note: Students may not receive credit for both BUS 285 and ADMN 285.*

ADMN 285 3:3-2

of 82


Introduction to Financial Accounting This course presents the fundamentals of financial accounting theory and practice at the introductory level. It considers basic accounting principles, their application in modern business organizations, and the preparation of business records and financial reports. **Prerequisite: ECON 201 or ECON 100** * Note: Students may not receive credit for both ADMN 285 and BUS 285.*

Rationale: In a review of courses and students’ academic readiness it was determined that in

order to better prepare students for academic success in BUS 285 it would be helpful to provide

them fundamental knowledge of economics, as economics is foundational to accounting.

Therefore, the prerequisite of Econ 201 or ECON 100 will better prepare students for success in

BUS 285.

Equivalence of Courses

That students not be able to receive credit for both NSLI 310 and BUS 250 / ADMN 250 effective 202030.

BUS 250 3:3-0 Introduction to Human Resource Management and Industrial Relations This introductory course addresses basic concepts and processes of the field of human

resource management. Topics include: human resource planning, job analysis, recruitment,

selection, orientation, training and development, performance management, compensation

management, workplace health and safety, and employee and labour relations.

*** Prerequisite: BUS 100 (or ADMN 100) and BUS 260 (or ADMN 260).***

*Note: Students may not only receive credit for both one of BUS 250, and ADMN 250 or NSLI

310.*

ADMN 250 3:3-0 Introduction to Human Resource Management and Industrial Relations This introductory course addresses basic concepts and processes of the field of human

resource management. Topics include: human resource planning, job analysis, recruitment,

selection, orientation, training and development, performance management, compensation

management, workplace health and safety, and employee and labour relations.

*** Prerequisite: BUS 100 (or ADMN 100) and BUS 260 (or ADMN 260).***

*Note: Students may not only receive credit for both one of BUS 250, and ADMN 250 or NSLI

310.*

Rationale: There is a significant overlap in the course content of BUS 250/ADMN250 and NSLI 310, therefore students should not get credit for both these courses. Course description for NSLI 310 from the catalogue is provided below.

of 82


NSLI 310 3:3-0 Nonprofit Human Resources A focus on human resources fundamentals and management for both paid staff and volunteers

in nonprofits, including recruitment, screening, orientation, evaluation, retention,

supervision/mentoring, job descriptions, policies and procedures, records management,

communication and recognition, confidentiality, relationships, conflict resolution and self-care.

Labour, human rights and cultural diversity standards are examined.

***Pre-requisite: NSLI 200 or IDS 290AA or permission of the Department.***

* Note: Students may only receive credit for one of NSLI 310, BUS 250, or ADMN 250.*

Prerequisite Change and Course Equivalence

Change the prerequisite and course equivalence for BUS 364 as follows, effective 202030.

BUS 364 3:3-0 Managing a Diverse Workforce This course concerns the increasing diversity of the work force and the major challenges and

opportunities faced by organizations and their managers. Topics will include: maintaining

fairness and justice, making effective decisions for performance improvement, allowing

flexibility, and managing in the global environment. The course also examines the legal

frameworks in place that value and protect employee and employer rights related to gender,

race, age, religion, sexual orientation, ability, etc.

*** Prerequisite: BUS 250 (or ADMN 250) or NSLI 310***

*Note: Students may only receive credit for one of BUS 364, ADMN 364, ADMN 435AP and

NSLI 390AA.*

Rationale: The NSLI program plans to terminate offerings of NSLI 390AA and have their students take BUS 364 instead. However, BUS 364 has BUS 250 (or ADMN 250) as a prerequisite and NSLI students would not likely have taken that class. However, students in the NSLI program have access to NSLI 310. As provided in the rationale of Motion 6, NSLI 310 has significant overlap with BUS 250, therefore allowing NSLI 310 as an alternative to BUS 250 and ADMN 250 in the prerequisite list for BUS 364 would allow the NSLI students to take BUS 364.

Furthermore, there is a significant overlap in the course content of BUS 364 and NSLI 390AA,

therefore students should not get credit for both these courses. Course description for NSLI

390AA from the catalogue is provided below.

NSLI 390AA 3:3-0 Managing Diversity in Nonprofit Organizations This special topics course is concerned with the increasing diversity of the workforce and the

major challenges and opportunities faced by organizations and their managers. Topics will

include: maintaining fairness and justice, making effective decisions for performance

improvement, allowing flexibility, and management in the global environment. The course also

examines the legal frameworks in place that value and protect employee and employer rights,

related to gender, race, age, religion, sexual orientation, and ability.

* Note: Students may only receive credit for one of NSLI 390AA, BUS 364, ADMN 364, or

ADMN 435AP.*

Prerequisite Change

Change the prerequisite for BUS 302 and ADMN 302 as follows, effective 202030.

BUS 302 3:3-0 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 nonprofit, for profit, for benefit and corporate or institutional intrapreneurship.

*** Prerequisite: Completion of a minimum of 60 30 credit hours of university studies. ***

* Note: Students may only receive credit for one of BUS 302, ADMN 302, and ENGG 436.*

ADMN 302 3:3-0 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 nonprofit, for profit, for benefit and corporate or institutional intrapreneurship.

*** Prerequisite: Completion of a minimum of 60 30 credit hours of university studies. ***

* Note: Students may only receive credit for one of BUS 302, ADMN 302, and ENGG 436.*

Rationale: The existing prerequisite requirement of 60 credit hours was placed so that students

have enough university study experience before they take these courses. In a review of courses

and prerequisites, it was determined that while it is necessary for students to have some

university grounding to prepare them for academic success in BUS 302/ADMN 302, it is

unnecessary to have two full years of course work. As a result the proposed changes will

ensure students will be adequately prepared without creating unnecessary barriers to access

the course.

Prerequisite Change

Change the prerequisite for BUS 303 as follows, effective 202030.

BUS 303 3:3-0

Small Business Start-Up and Management

Using a multi-period entrepreneurship simulation, students establish and manage a small

enterprise. Topics include: characteristics of successful entrepreneurs, recognizing

opportunities, legal forms and environments, financing, marketing, financial management,

operations, human resources, using boards and advisors, deciding to start up, buy or franchise,

and managing growth, transfer or exit.

***Prerequisite: Completion of 6030 credit hours of university studies.***

*Note: Students may receive credit for one of BUS 235AB, BUS 335AB, BUS 476AB and BUS

303.*

Rationale: The existing prerequisite requirement of 60 credit hours was placed so that students

have enough university study experience before they take these courses. In a review of courses

and prerequisites, it was determined that while it is necessary for students to have some

of 82


university grounding to prepare them for academic success in BUS 303, it is unnecessary to

have two full years of course work. As a result the proposed changes will ensure students will

be adequately prepared without creating unnecessary barriers to access the course.

Prerequisite Change

Change the prerequisite for BUS 403 as follows, effective 202030.

BUS 403 3:3-0 SME Consulting Experience

This course introduces the practice of management consulting, through applying undergraduate

program knowledge to critical issues in the small business sector. Students will understand the

consulting process, develop problem-solving skills, apply new tools and techniques, and learn to

work and communicate effectively in consultant-client relationships, and gain consulting

experience through a consulting assignment.

***Prerequisite: One of BUS 302(or ADMN 302), BUS 303 or BUS Two of BUS 302 (or ADMN

302), BUS 303 or BUS 304.***

*Note: Concurrent enrolment is allowed with BUS 304.*

Rationale: In a review of courses and prerequisites it was determined that the material covered

in BUS 302, BUS 303 and BUS 304 is not essential material to prepare students for academic

success in BUS 403. If the students have taken at least one 300 level Entrepreneurship course,

they will be better prepared to be successful in BUS 403. Moreover, two of BUS 302, BUS 303

or BUS 304 as prerequisite is unnecessarily restrictive for students wishing to pursue an

entrepreneurship major. The proposed changes will ensure students will be adequately

prepared without creating unnecessary barriers to access the course.

Appendix III

4.3 Centre for Continuing Education

The Centre for Continuing Education’s Career & Professional Development Division submits the following motions for consideration:

Motion 1: Admission, Readmission and Faculty Transfer

To include the following language in the ‘Admission, Readmission, and Faculty Transfer’

section of the CCE section of the General Calendar, effective 202020.

“Students in the Academic Recovery Program (ARP) may not transfer to undergraduate certificate programs at the Centre for Continuing Education until they have successfully completed ARP. Students who wish to transfer to CCE will follow regular procedures for admission, readmission, faculty transfer, and appeals as outlined in the Admissions section of the U of R General Calendar.

CCE students in ARP are not eligible to graduate before successful completion of ARP. In exceptional circumstances, students may appeal to the Director of CCE for special consideration.”

Background: We have seen many students

recently wanting to transfer to CCE or

graduate from a CCE program while they are

not in good academic standing according to U

of R policy.

Rationale:

CCE students face some unique situations due to the brevity of their program of study, especially for those students in ARP. Often students will meet graduation requirements for CCE certificates before they have completed ARP.

Students in a faculty outside CCE on ARP who wish to petition for admission to CCE may do so by appealing to the Director for discretionary admission. The language in this motion reflects the current policies as set out by the University of Regina generally and clarifies how those policies impact CCE students specifically.

(End of Motion 2)

The following motion was presented and approved at First Nations

University of Canada’s (FNUniv) Academic Council at their September 20,

2019 meeting.

Background: The University of Regina (U of R) and the First Nations University of Canada (FNUniv) jointly offer an Indigenous Environmental Science degree program. Both institutions also offer their respective Bachelor of Business Administration and Bachelor in Administration degree. These four year degree programs, however, might be challenging for students who are not ready to commit to long term programs.

Moreover, many students are interested in Science but don’t feel they have the necessary educational background to succeed, especially Indigenous students. With this new option, students who successfully complete the certificate might be willing to explore a four year degree in Science or Administration.

Rationale: The FNUniv at the U of R, in partnership with the Centre for Continuing Education (CCE) will offer a new Certificate in Indigenous Environmental Management. In this stepping stone certificate, students will complete foundational courses and will have the option to branch out into other degrees, especially Science and Administration degree programs. It is a good first year preparation option for students who will learn time management and organization skills and attain achievement and success in higher education. Completion of this certificate is also valuable for students who want to work in environmental management and science.

No new courses need to be developed. All of the courses are offered at the Regina campus. Some courses are offered at the FNUniv Prince Albert campus (ADMN 100, ENGL 100, MATH 103, STAT 100, STAT 160, ) while others are offered online (ACAD 100, ADMN 100, ADMN 225, ENGL 100, ENVS 100, ENVS 200, INDG 100, Indigenous Language 100 Level).

3. How does this program compare to similar programs (Provincial/National)?

First Nations University of Canada Online Certificate of Administration (Indigenous Management): This certificate serves a national audience of First Nations organizations, band administrators and other Indigenous learners. Different from other online business certificates, FNUniv's Certificate in Administration (Indigenous Management) is designed from an Indigenous worldview, with content and methodologies drawn from First Nations cultures and experiences in Canada.

University of Saskatchewan Kanawayihetaytan Askiy Certificate: Let us Take Care of the Land: This certificate accommodates students' professional work lives, as well as their desire to not leave their home communities, by offering blended learning opportunities. This certificate was designed to benefit: land managers, land and economic development staff, executive and leadership (chief and council), and federal and provincial government staff.

University of Alberta This Aboriginal Community-Industry Relations Certificate is designed to prepare students for work as a business professional in the environmental sector. This is a noncredit program comprised of five required 20-hour courses and 100 hours of a selection of electives available from Faculty of Extension's Business and Leadership programs.

Yellowhead Tribal College in Edmonton The Indigenous Environmental Stewardship and Reclamation Technician Certificate Program is a full-time program that prepares students for entry-level environmental stewardship and reclamation jobs.

The above certificates are mostly designed for students already in the workforce or students who want to work as technicians. The Certificate in Indigenous Environmental Management is designed to encourage students to complete foundational courses successfully and branch out into other degrees, especially Science and Administration ,degree programs.

It is hard to calculate revenue as this Certificate is targeting students who would usually register as Non Declared students. These students would take some courses but would probably not end up completing any degrees. The Certificate gives them the opportunity to be successful in a few courses and complete a Certificate. With this success and these credit hours, it will be an easier step for them to commit to a degree program.

Courses required in this Certificate are regularly offered in various degrees so no new expenses are expected.

5. What additional Library holdings are required and what is the cost?

No additional library holdings are necessary.

Course Revision

Effective Date: 202020

PR 203: Media Relations Students will learn how to navigate all contemporary forms of media and the complexities around traditional, social, and online media. This course also provides a comprehensive analysis of the media and the development of skills to accommodate the needs of different media and stakeholders.

*** Prerequisites: PR 100 and PR 200 or PR 201.***

*Note: Students may not receive credit for both PR 203 and PR 39.

Background: The five-course Public Relations Certificate program offered through the

Centre Continuing Education includes four required courses and the completion of one PR

elective. Currently we offer five electives, all of which require completion of PR 100 as a

prerequisite. PR 203 is the only elective that requires completion of PR 200 or 201 as well

as PR 100. The additional prerequisites for this course are a residual piece from changes

that were made to the program when the PR courses changed from 1.5 credit hours to 3

credit hour courses.

Rationale: Students will have the required foundational knowledge after successful

completion of PR 100 without having taken PR 200 or 201. Changing the prerequisite will

align the requirements for all the PR elective courses and allow students to register for this

popular course sooner in their program.

Appendix IV

4.4 Report from the Faculty of Education

Items for Approval

The Faculty of Education has approved the following items and offers these items for approval.

Motion 1: Bac en éducation

That the following changes be made to the Bac en éducation section of the Undergraduate Calendar, effective 202020.

Bac en éducation (élémentaire, secondaire et français de base) Pour passer de l’année pré-internat à l’internat (début de la 4e année)

1. maintenir une moyenne d’au moins 65% en 3e année

2. réussir les cours EPSF 315/325 ou 300/350 (incluant le pré-internat)

3. maintenir une moyenne d’au moins 70% dans les cours de français

4. recevoir une évaluation positive de l’équipe du Bac

5. avoir atteint le niveau requis en français oral et écrit (Avancé moyen ou plus àl’examen TCOF) et écrit (70% ou plus à l’examen TCEF).

Bac en Éducation Après Diplôme (BEAD) élémentaire, secondaire ou français de base

Pour passer de la 1re année à la 2e année après diplôme (BEAD), il faut: 1. avoir maintenu une moyenne d’au moins 65.00% dans la 1re année

2. réussir les cours EPSF 315/325 ou 300/350 (incluant le pré-internat)

3. recevoir une évaluation positive de l’équipe du Bac

4. avoir atteint le niveau requis en français oral et écrit (Avancé moyen ou plus àl’examen TCOF) et écrit (70% ou plus à l’examen TCEF).

Rationale: Translation of the revised point 5 and 4: To have reached the required level in oral French (Advanced middle or better on the TCOF exam) and written (70% or more on the TCEF exam).

These modifications to the academic calendar are to clarify the nature of the required level in oral and written French. In the Bac program, students need to reach the level of Avancé moyen or Advanced-middle in their TCOF/oral French exam or better. Bac students also require a mark of 70% or more on their TCEF/written exam. The required levels may not have been obvious in the prior iterations.

Rationale: The terminology of land-based education is a better representation of the subject area content and purpose. To reflect the practice and nature of the EIOE courses the course names need to be revised. These courses are based on land-based education philosophy. Land-based education involves learning from the land and on the land, and from Elders

(End of Motion 2)



MOTION 3: Degree Name Change

To change the name of the Bachelor of Education (Indigenous Education) degrees, to Bachelor of Indigenous Education as listed below, effective 202020.

Four-Year Elementary BEd Bachelor of Indigenous Education Program Four-Year Elementary BEd Bachelor of Indigenous Education Cree Immersion Program Four-Year Elementary BEd Bachelor of Indigenous Education Dene Immersion Program Elementary BEd Bachelor of Indigenous Education After Degree (BEAD) Program Four-Year Secondary BEd Bachelor of Indigenous Education Program Four-Year Secondary BEd Bachelor of Indigenous Education Program, Indigenous Studies Major Secondary BEd Bachelor of Indigenous Education After Degree (BEAD) Program Secondary BEd Bachelor of Indigenous Education After Degree (BEAD) Program, Indigenous Studies Major Secondary BEd Bachelor of Indigenous Education After Degree (BEAD) Program, Visual Arts Major

Rationale: This name change aligns with our Faculty's commitment to honoring and

recognizing Indigenous ways of knowing as part of our commitment to the TRC's Calls to

Action. The move shifts Indigenous education from being a subject area with a Bachelor's

of Education to being its own program area, affirming the unique lens that informs and

underpins the program and its offerings.

Motion 4: Certificate for Internationally Trained Educators - Creation

That the Certificate for Internationally Trained Educators be created as outlined below, effective 202020.

Certificate for Internationally Trained Educators

Credit Hours Required courses

3.0 ECS 100 or ECS 110 or Approved Ed elective

3.0 EPSY400 Working with Difference and Diversity

Admissions Criteria: Saskatchewan Teacher’s Certificate Assessment letter from the Saskatchewan Professional Teachers Regulatory Board and Proficiency in English, according to the University of Regina Language Proficiency Regulations. Admission is available in all terms and will align with the University of Regina deadline dates.

of 82


Rationale: Saskatchewan Professional Teachers Regulatory Board (SPTRB) by-laws call for Internationally Educated Teachers (IET) (with degrees that have less than 48 credit hours in education) to complete a bridging certificate to be eligible to be certified in Saskatchewan. This 18 credit hour certificate serves in the same capacity as the IET certificate at the U of S, to better serve the IET's who live in the Regina area. The certificate draws on existing courses, while also providing opportunities to gain field experience in the Saskatchewan context. The certificate is supported by SPTRB and meets their criteria for IET bridging certificates.

Motion 5: Yukon Native Teacher Education Program Revision

That EFLD 060 (0) be removed from the Yukon Native Teacher Education Program (YNTEP) Elementary BEd After Degree (BEAD) Program, effective 202020.

Appendix VIII

4.8 Faculty of Nursing

Item for Approval

The Faculty of Nursing is submitting the following motion, approved at the November 17, 2019 Faculty of Nursing Faculty Council meeting, for approval to CCUAS:

Motion 1: Time Limits

That the revisions to Time Limits section of the Faculty of Nursing section in the calendar be approved, effective 202020.

Students not actively enrolled in nursing courses for three consecutive terms who wish to return to the nursing program must reapply for admission to the program. Credit for nursing courses successfully completed will be given if the course was taken within seven (7) years of admission into the program. Other courses that have been taken ten (10) or more years prior to admission may be considered ineligible to be used for credit inthe program. Students may be required to repeat one or more courses if one (1) year or more has passed since the student last completed a clinical course.

Students must complete the program within the maximum seven year allowable time frame. A student who is unable to complete the program within this time frame will be RTD from the program indefinitely.

Rationale: While there is a regulation addressing nursing courses and stale-dating, there is no reference to non-nursing courses. In addition, we have now had the experience where a student is at the end of their time limit for the program. The student will be taking CNUR 206 for the last time in the 202010 term. Should they be unsuccessful or withdraw from this or any subsequent term, their 7 year time limit will be exceeded. Following consultation with the Registrar, it is recommended that we have a regulation indicating that a student would be RTD if they can’t complete the program within the 7 years.

Rationale: The small number of open electives in the Psychology BSc program and the absence of open electives in the Psychology BSc Hons program is causing a problem for a number of students in these programs, in addition to discouraging those who are interested in transferring into these programs. Many students have taken courses from outside of Science, Arts, or MAP that do not fit into these degrees. This is especially problematic within Psychology’s own programs for BSc students who decide to pursue Honours and now can't use their completed open electives, and for BA/BA Hons students who decide the BSc might be a better fit, but similarly can't use most or all of their completed open electives to form part of their degree. In short, this is making it so that students are having to take extra courses to complete their degrees thereby extending their time in the program, or discouraging them from pursuing these programs entirely, particularly the BSc Hons which currently has no open electives at all. Further, there are a number of courses outside of Science, Arts, and MAP that would be quite relevant for psychology students (e.g., anatomy in KIN for neuro-focused students) that do not fit anywhere within the current BSc Hons degree, since there are no open electives.

The proposed changes fall within the BSc and BSc Honours guidelines as outlined in the Academic Calendar (i.e., a minimum of 18CH in Arts/MAP; a minimum of 66CH in Science, which includes PSYC courses; and a maximum of 18CH that are not in Science/Arts/MAP), and improve flexibility in regards course selection and potential minors.

Motion 3: Diploma in General Science Creation

To create the Diploma in General Science as outlined below. Students may be admitted to the Diploma in General Science as fully qualified or science qualifying students, effective 202020.

Diploma in General Science The Diploma in General Science is designed to introduce students to the methods and values of scientific inquiry. It encourages students to identify a field of study that interests them and to develop a deeper understanding of that field. Eligibility requires that students complete courses representative of core science competencies and a concentration of courses in a particular field of study offered by the Faculty of Science. A maximum of 30.0 credit hours of eligible transfer credit may be used to meet the program requirements, and transfer credit may not be used to meet greater than half of the credits required to complete the concentration. (At least half of the credits used to meet the concentration requirements and program requirements must be completed at the University of Regina, as outlined in the Faculty of Science Residency Requirements). Students who hold a previous Canadian academic credential in Science and/or Engineering, or who have completed the required courses for a higher level credential at the University of Regina are not eligible to complete the Diploma in General Science.

Appendix X

4.10 Faculty of Social Work

Social Work Faculty Council met on November 27, 2019 and approved and recommends the following motions for approval.

Items for Approval

Motion: Social Work – Undergraduate Practicum Application Deadlines

To change Undergraduate Practicum Application Deadlines and update them in the Undergraduate Calendar as outlined below, effective 202020.

Social Work Practicum Information for U of R BSW Students

The following practicum information pertains to students taking the U of R (Saskatchewan-based) BSW program, and does not apply to students in the Yukon College BSW or Aurora College CSW programs. Instructions to apply for a practicum placement are on the Social Work website. https://www.uregina.ca/socialwork/programs/presw- bsw/practicum.html. SW 348 placements must be completed in Saskatchewan. SW 448 may be completed internationally or outside of Saskatchewan in Canada. Students taking SW 448 internationally must submit an international practicum portfolio as part of the placement process. International students taking practicum in Canada are required to obtain a co-op work permit, in addition to their study permit.

SW 348 and SW 448 are available in the fall and winter terms only. Limited Spring/Summer practicum placements for SW 348 and SW 448 may be available for special projects offered through the Faculty of Social Work. In extenuating circumstances, Faculty approval for Spring/Summer practicum may be considered for placements in rural or northern Saskatchewan, or out- of- province/international placements. SW 448 may be completed on a part-time basis over two terms, starting in the fall term only.

Practica have enrolment limits. Priority for placement will be given to students following our recommended course sequencing, in which SW 348 is completed in the second last term, and SW 448 is completed in the final term of the program. Therefore, practicum placements in any given term are not guaranteed simply by meeting the application deadline, and are subject to the availability of approved placements.

Mandatory Preparation Workshops will occur prior to the commencement of the practicum placement and details on how to register for these sessions will be made known to students each term by Social Work Student Services.

Deadlines for Practicum Application (SW 348 and SW 448) in Canada Fall practicum – March 1 January 15 commencing 202110 Winter practicum – October 1 May 15

Deadlines for International Application to Practicum Practicum Portfolio Submission (SW 448 only) Fall practicum – March 31 Winter practicum – June 30

Rationale: The change in dates will provide more time for Placement Coordinators to

complete the process for placing students. This includes information workshops, placement interviews and the matching process to an agency. This change will also assist us in the competition with other programs who also have students complete field placements. Addition of the statement that ‘Practicum is not guaranteed simply by applying as it is subject to availability of placements’ will inform students that we cannot guarantee that we will have enough placements available if the number of students applying is too high.

(End of Motion 1)


A. Course Creation

SW 413 (202030) Child Welfare ad Immigrants (Child Welfare Systems and Immigrant Families)

The course will explore the various forms of social work knowledge, theories, values and skills when working with newcomer/immigrant and refugee families. The course emphasis will be to explore ways to support immigrant and refugee families, using both micro and macro approaches. ***Prerequisites: 30 credit hours***

Is this replacing another course: SW 480AP Equivalent Course(s): SW 480AP Mutually Exclusive Course (s): n/a Restriction(s): n/a Course Attribute(s): n/a Grade Mode(s): N Schedule Type(s): A, X Credit Hours: 3 Lecture Hours: n/a Lab Hours: n/a Other Contact Hours: n/a

Rationale: Now that SW 480AP has been taught a number of times, we would like it to be listed as SW 413 in our course catalogue as a permanent offering.

Appendix XI

4.11 Registrar’s Office

The Registrar’s Office submits the following items for approval:

Motion 1: Tuition and Fees Revision

That the Tuition & Fees section (page 33) of the Undergraduate Calendar include the addition of a section defining fee assessment for Diplomatic, consular, or other representatives as outlined below, effective 202020.

To be inserted in “Tuition & Fees” section of the calendar, after International Tuition Deposit.

Diplomatic, consular, or other representatives

Diplomatic, consular and other representatives of foreign countries, the UN and other international agencies, their spouse and dependents are exempt from international tuition by holding diplomatic status or by being dependents of those holding such status.

For purposes of exemption, a dependent of a person includes: a) spouse, b) unmarried child, or c) spouse's unmarried child. Dependent status must be fully documented and must have been established for a minimum of three years.

Students must present a valid diplomatic visa or a certified copy of the diplomat’s diplomatic visa as well as proof of dependent status to the diplomat,

Rationale: Many schools across Canada have policies that allow for the waiving of international student differential fees for the diplomatic, consular, or other representatives of foreign countries and their dependants. The total number of students that this regulation would apply to, is limited to one every couple of years so the impact to revenue would be minimal.

(End of Motion 1)

Motion 2: Repeating Courses Addition

That the Class Registration and Withdrawal section (page 39) of the Undergraduate Calendar be updated as presented below, effective 202020

Repeating Courses With the exception of ENGL 100, a course may be repeated once only. When a course is repeated, the grade obtained in the final authorized attempt becomes the grade of record for that course and used in the student’s program of study. All courses officially attempted are listed on students' official transcripts. English 100 (ENGL 100) may be repeated twice. Regardless of whether students pass or fail preceding attempts at ENGL 100, those that receive a failing grade for a third completed attempt at ENGL 100 must withdraw from the university for two years. When a course is repeated that previously earned a grade of XF, the 0% from the first attempt and the grade obtained in the final authorized attempt are both included and used in the student’s program of study. Courses successfully completed at the U of R cannot be repeated at another institution for transfer credit.

Rationale: The rationale for this addition is to provide clarification in practice.
