Simon Fraser University
Cariboo College and Simon Fraser University agree to cooperate so as
to provide programs of study designed to enable students to complete the
requirements for selected degrees from the University while in attendance at the
College. This cooperation shall continue for a minimum period of 5 years and is
intended to facilitate the achievement of degree-granting status for Cariboo
College.
The College and the University further agree:
1)
that the determination of which degree completion programs should be
offered at the College shall be made jointly by the College and the
University;
2)
that the degrees offered at the College shall be designated as "degrees
awarded by Simon Fraser University at Cariboo College" and
distinguished by unique transcript and diploma notations;
3)
that together they will develop procedures to ensure that the curriculum
and the grading standards used in the upper-level (3rd & 4th year)
courses offered in a program at the College are the same as those in the
corresponding courses at the University, and that lower-level College
courses articulate readily with upper-level courses;
4)
that together they will develop procedures for the recruitment and
selection of College faculty members to teach the upper-level courses in
a program at the College. The College agrees that it will appoint only
persons acceptable to the University to teach the upper-level courses in
a program at the College;
5)
that as an essential aspect of maintaining a high standard of quality in
the teaching of upper division and professional courses, teaching loads
and assignments will be set to take account of the need for faculty to
engage in scholarly work including creative or appropriate professional
activities;
6)
that tuition fees for upper-level courses will be assessed and collected by
the College, and that students in upper-level courses shall be registered
as Cariboo College students (but clearly designated as being in upper-
level courses associated with the University);

7) that funding the upper-level courses will be separate from the general
operating budgets of the University and the College; that the College will
be directly funded by the Ministry for all operating costs of upper-level
courses; and that the University will be directly funded by the Ministry at
a level which will cover all its direct and indirect costs related to its role in
the programs at the College.
It is recognized that it is the prerogative of the University Senate to
determine the requirements for the degrees which it grants and to determine
who has satisfied the requirements for such a degree.
Convocations for the granting of degrees will be held at Cariboo College
on a regular basis.
