Memorandum

To: SUAB

?

From: N. Heath

Secretary, SUAB

Subject: Transfer Credit Regulations

?

Date:

87/03/10

SUAB 172

Recommendation:

To delete the followin

g

regulation:

"Normally no more than 30 semester hours of transfer credit

are permitted after initial re

g istration at

SFU." (See

p.

17,

.

?

SFU Calendar)

This regulation is frequently waived. The "Letter of Permission" procedures

provide enough safeguards to ensure that students are taking appropriate

courses, if

they attend elsewhere. Therefore, I do not feel that the regulation

serves any useful purpose.

Examples: A student may begin at

SFU, and then after one semester move

away and continue on

a transfer program at a college. Other students who

are studying outside the Lower Mainland might take one SFU DISC course

which would then limit their transfer credit to a further 30 hours.

I have solicited comments on this regulation campus-wide and have received

no negative reaction.

This change will not affect the following limits to transfer credit:

- not more than 60 semester hours (except for BGS

&

BASc if SUAB

170 is passed)

.

?

- not more than 15 semester hours at the upper division.
