Action undertaken by the Executive Committee, Senate Graduate Studies Committee

at its meeting of January 21,

1985

and action undertaken by the Senate Graduate

Studies Committee at its meeting of February

14,

1985,

gives rise to the following

motion:-

MOTION:

"That Senate approve and recommend approval to the Board

of Governors, as set forth in S.85-7

?

, the proposed

change in Section 1.7.2 of the Graduate Studies - General

Regulations"

FROM: One-half of the minimum must be taken at SFU

TO: ?

One-half of the minimum course work of the

departmental degree requirements must be taken

at SFU

RATIONALE:

The minimum" referred to in the current General Regulations

is in the constraint for transfer credit within either the

twelve (12) or twenty (20) semester hours. However, as

many departments have varying degree requirements higher

than the University requirement, it was felt that the

minimum should refer to one half of the departmental degree

requirement to permit a student to transfer the maximum

amount of coursework permitted and to have equitability

across the departments.
