Major Programs and Honours Progr4m

Action taken by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies

at its meeting of March 25, 1980, gives rise to the following

motion:

MOTION

That Senate approve and recommend approval to the

Board of Governors, as set forth in S.80-38, the

proposed Co-operative Education program in Chemistry

and minimum requirements to enrol and to continue

in Co-operative Education.

NOTE

The proposal to provide an opportunity for Co-operative Education

in Chemistry and related areas conforms to the general description

of Co-operative Education on page 448 of the-University Calendar.

The requirement of aminimum cumulative GPA of 2.75 for enrolling

and continuing in the Major Program, Co-operative Education, are

intended to ensure that a high academic standard is maintained

among students for whom the university seeks appropriate work

semester placements.

For the information of senators, the initial introduction of

Co-operative Education programs at the University of Victoria and

Simon Fraser involved a tentative and short-term agreement. on the

part of each university to postpone development of programs in

fields in which the other institution was attempting to get a

program established. Under this informal arrangement, SFU delayed

the development of Co-operative Education programs in such fields

as Chemistry and Physics. However, that agreement is no longer in

effect and the institutions are now attempting to maintain liaison

and co-ordination both at the level of the Directors of Co-operative

Education and at the level of the Academic Vice-Presidents.

Certainly the trimester system at our University is ideal for

Co-operative Education. The Lower Mainland provides a concentra-

tion of business and industry which is helpful for finding appro-

priate placement for students. In general, the extension of our

activities in this field appears very promising.

Preamble for the Calendar 

Co-operative Education (Please note general description on page 448 

of the Calendar) 

Co-operative Education is a system which combines work experience with 

academic studies. The student spends alternate semesters on campus and 

in study related jobs. 

A Major Program and an Honors Program leading to a B.Sc. degree, Co-operative 

Education, and incorporating four work semesters are available to qualified 

students in Chemistry and related areas. The work practicum requirements 

are the University courses CHEM 306, 307, 406, 407. 

Students wishing to enrol in the Co-operative Education program must apply 

at least three months prior to the start of the semester in which they wish 

to enrol in CHEM 306. Intending Co-op students should seek advising from 

the Department as early in their university careers as possible. 

Students must obtain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.75 in order to enrol 

and to continue in the Major Program, Co-operative Education. The higher 

averages normally required for entry to and continuance in an Honors Program 

apply to those taking an Honors Program, Co-operative Education. 

A note in the Calendar under the Biochemistry, Chemical Physics and any 

other chemistry related area should appear as follows: 

Co-operative Education 

Co-operative Education is a system which combines work experience with 

academic studies. The student spends alternate semesters on campus and 

in study related jobs. 

Students interested in Co-operative Education should refer to the Chemistry 

section of the Calendar dealing with Co-operative Education.
