During the first four levels, students will normally be required

Group B. The remaining six courses may be taken from both groups or from 

any other lower division courses offered at the University. The minimum

an asterisk. Students must take either PSYC 210, or MATH 101; students 

must take one of PHIL 001, or 100, or 110 or 120.) 

The proposal from FIDS/CRIM to SCUS first requested that a minimum 

grade of 'C' in these courses become the requirement; (the present 

regulations accept grades of "D" subject to graduation requirements of 

2.0 etc.). The topic was referred by SCUS back to the Faculty/Department 

for further consideration. Following that consideration the recommendation 

as above was submitted to SCUS. 

There was Intensive discussion of the proposal with some concern of 

the impact on other departments,and general regulations, with some 

possibility that action could lead to generation of ad hoc regulations 

through departments In a non-productive, non-cohesive way. 

?

The topic 

was addressed at SCAP because of the potential university-wide implications. 

MOTION 2:- 

"That Senate approve that a minimum grade of 'B' be required 

for CRIM 369-4 Professional Ethics and Interpersonal Skills 

In Criminal Justice when it is used as a prerequisite for 

CRIM 462-15 Field Practice."
