Memorandum 

To: Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies 

From: Doreen Godwin, Director, Co-operative Education 

Date: October 4, 1991 

Subject: Revision of Co-op Course Grades 

The Co-op Program would like to revise S78-73, Motion 

1:4 - 

"That work semesters be graded on the 

basis of P or W and that no semester 

hours of credit be granted for them." 

to - 

. ?

"That work semesters be graded on the 

basis of P. F, or W and that no 

semester hours of credit be granted 

for them." 

Experience with Co-op has shown that certain problem 

situations, such as failure to report to the employer; 

leaving an employer before the end of term without approval; 

unsatisfactory student performance; dismissed with cause; or 

an unsatisfactory work report are controlled solely by the 

student. A grade of 'F' is needed to indicate the student's 

failure to meet any of these requirements for a Co-op 

course. The 

'W I 

grade will continue to be used for problem 

situations not solely under the student's control.

SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY 

Memorandum 

To: Alison Watt, Secretary, Senate Committee on Academic 

Planning 

From: Doreen Godwin, Director, Co-operative Education 

Date: November 18, 1991 

Subject: Your memo of 8 November, 1991 

Section 3.3 of the Policy and Procedures Manual will 

need rewriting to clarify the use of the "fail" grade. 

Points 4, 5 and 10 will become the basis for a "fail" grade. 

The student will have to have Co-op approval before being 

allowed to repeat the course. I cannot imagine approval 

being given more than once.
