MOTION: "That Senate approve and recommend approval to 

the Board of Governors, as set forth in S.82-61, 

the proposed change in lower level elective 

structure in Criminology." 

For Information: 

Acting under delegated authority at its meeting of May 4, 1982, 

the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies approved change 

of prerequisite for CRIM 462-15 - Field Practice to require a 

minimum CGPA of 2.5 as prerequisite for that course. 

CHANGE OF LOWER LEVEL ELECTIVE STRUCTURE 

Nature of Proposed Chang. The number of Group A elective 

courses would be increased by one course for a total of 

two Group A electives. The number of general electives 

would be reduced by one course yielding a total of five 

general electives. Overall, the total of lower level 

course types would be as follows: 

Group A: 

?

6 required + 2 elective courses 

Group B: 

?

5 required + 2 elective courses 

Other: ? 

5 elective courses 

Rationale: 

?

?

It was the intention of the Criminology U.C.C.? 

to have the above change formalized in the 

1982-83 calendar. However several last minute 

changes relating to the statistics and other 

requirements led to an oversight in this regard. 

In order to provide the necessary breadth of 

lower level Group A optional courses, it is 

our intention that criminology students be 

required to take one additional Group A elective. 

ADDITIONAL PREREQUISITE FOR CRIM 462-15 (FIELD PRACTICE) 

Nature of Proposed Change. ? 

A minimum C.G.P.A.of 2.5 would? 

be a prerequisite for Crirn 462-15. 

Rationale: As indicated in the Senate Proposal S78-75, Crim 

462-15 was intended as an optional and competitive 

of the Criminology Undergraduate 

Curriculum. It has always been the intention of 

the Criminology U.C.C. to institute a minimum 

C.G.P.A. as a basic screening criterion. Because 

field placement students must be seen as represent- 

ing both the Criminology Department and Simon 

Fraser University within professional criminal 

justice settings, it is necessary to ensure that 

departmental standards are raised to an appropriate 

level. It is important to note that this change

supplements rather than replaces the prerequisites 

requiring "prior departmental approval" and a
