FROM: B.P. Clayman 

Committee 

SUBJECT: Enrolment in Graduate 

?

DATE: 10 November 1988 

Courses 

Based on experience elsewhere, I would like to propose a 

minimum criterion for Special students, Qualifying students and 

undergraduate students (including students in Post-Baccalaureate 

Diploma programs) to enrol in graduate courses: 

"Special graduate students, Qualifying students and 

undergraduate students (including Post-Baccalaureate Diploma 

students) normally may enrol in graduate courses only if 

their cumulative grade point averages are at least. 3.00. In 

addition, the permission of the instructor is required in 

each case." 

The purpose of this proposal is to ensure that the 

appropriate academic standards and control over enrolments are 

maintained. At present, there is no statement in the calendar 

about who may enrol in graduate courses. The possibility exists 

that poorly prepared students may enrol and create a tendency to 

lower the level of discourse. In some courses, enrolment must be 

limited; at present, there is no mechanism to control the number 

of non-graduate students. The proposed regulation gives the 

instructor that control. 

This matter will be. on the agenda of the Senate Graduate 

Studies Committee.
