APPENDIX 4: GRADUATE COURSE DELETION FACULTY OF APPLIED SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING/SCHOOL OF GRADUATE

STUDIES Curriculum Submission DEPARTMENT: Geological Sciences and Geological Engineering 1. Course number and title: Note that this number may not be reused for five years. GEOL 819 Igneous Petrology GEOL 833 Hydrogeology GEOL 858 Topics in Isotopic Dating GEOL 859 Numerical Analysis in the Earth Sciences GEOL 885 Aqueous Environmental Geochmistry 2. Reason for deletion: Provide a detailed rationale for this deletion, eg. staffing, resources,

archaism, replacement by new course(s), etc. These courses have not been taught for several due to changes in staff and replacement by new courses. 3. Impact inside of department: How will this deletion affect the department/program? This will not affect the Department or program as there has not been any demand for these

courses.

4. Impact outside of department: Will this deletion have any impact on programs offered by other Graduate Departments/Programs and/or students in other Graduate Departments/Programs? If so, please indicate the impact and indicate which departments(s) or program(s) have been contacted and include copies of relevant correspondence.

Deletion of these courses will not affect other Graduate Departments or programs as they have not been offered and there has been no demands.
