End of Semester Evaluation Statistics

SUAB received summary data on the evaluation of end-of-semester student grades. These show

stability compared with previous years and appear to support the hypothesis that increased

entrance requirements have affected student performance positively, as measured by the

proportion of students in academic difficulty or Required to Withdraw.

The following actions were taken:

1)

SUAB 272 - Diverse Qualifications Admission Polic

Feedback on the draft proposal from the University community was analyzed and a sub-

approved by majority vote for submission to SCAP and Senate.

SUAB 273 - Comparative Civilizations 12 - BC Secondary School Course

This is a new provincially approved course which replaces Western Civilization 12. The

course was accepted for admission purposes as an 'academic '

grade 12 course.

This is the last annual report of SUAB. The Board was dissolved effective 1 January 1996 and

its duties have been passed on to the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies (SCUS).
