OFFICE OF

VICE-PRESIDENT, ACADEMIC
?
MEMORANDUM
To: ?
Senate
From: ?
D. Gagan, Chair
Senate Committee on Academic Planning
Subject ?
Grade 12 courses for University admission
(Reference: SCUS 97-56)
(Reference: SCAP 97-63)
Date: ?
November 10, 1997
Action undertaken by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies and the
Senate Committee on Academic Planning gives rise to the following motion:
0 ?
Motion:
"that Senate approve, as set forth in S.98 - 3 , the following motions:
1.
"Information Technology 12 shall not be included in the list of
acceptable courses which may count in the student's average for
admission to Simon Fraser University." Students who complete TNT
12 in 97/98 only may count this course towards general admission, at
the discretion of the Director of Admissions.
Rationale: From the discussion at the meeting of the British Columbia
Computers in Education Committee, it is clear that the slant of
INT
11 and
INT
12 is for computer literacy for all students rather than the computer
programming aspect stressed in the original CS 11 and CS 12. However, it
is clear that there will be a huge amount of variation in what is taught
from school to school.
2.
"Effective immediately, Advanced Placement Computer Science 12 A
or AB (APCSC 12A or APSC 12) shall be added to the list of acceptable
non-science courses, provided that the candidate takes the AP
examination and scores a grade of 3 or better."
