JUNE 1,

Action taken by the Senate Committee on Academic Planning 

at Its meeting of June 9, 1982 gives rise to the following motions: 

MOTION 1. 

?

POLICY 

That Senate approve and recommend approval to the 

Board of Governors, as set forth in S.82-75, that 

Simon Fraser University will admit a limited number 

of international students who must be able to write, 

read, and speak English at a level required for their 

program of studies. This University expects to be 

able to admit International graduate students without 

changes in existing procedures. 

MOTION 2. 

?

ADMISSION QUOTAS 

a)

A quota for international undergraduate students based 

on a selected percentage of new undergraduate students 

in the preceding academic year will be established for 

each academic year in April of the preceding academic 

year. 

b)

In order to permit appropriate phasing in of this policy, 

and the development of required procedures, the quota 

for the 1983/84 academic year is established at this time 

at 7 per cent of new undergraduate students. The 

Registrar's office will determine the number of new 

International students that should be accepted in order 

to arrive at a final figure of new students registered 

that meets this quota. 

c)

This quota will be met by reviewing the applications from 

prospective students in terms of their academic standing. 

Subject to approval of the above policy by Senate and by the 

Board of Governors, the Senate Undergraduate Admissions Board will 

develop the appropriate admission criteria.

REV IEr)

At its nieLing of June 9, 1982, the Senate Coninittee on Acaclexic Planning 

approved the following statement concerning international students. 

Parts 

1.

and 2.of this statement are being presented to Senate at this tim3 with a 

notion that they be approved and recollm?nded to the Board of Governors for 

their approval. Part 3. is being considered by the Senate Undergraduate 

Admissions Board and will be brought forward later in a more detailed form. 

It is presented at this time for the information of Senate. 

1.

Sin-on Fraser University will admit a limited number of international 

students so as to noet British Columbia's and Canada's responsibilities 

and to serve their interests in the world community and also to help 

create a iiore cosnopol it an and varied student body. International 

students who attend Simon Fraser University must be able to write, read, 

and speak English at a level required for their program of studies. 

• ? 

Because of traditions and practices of the other two universities in 

British Columbia, this University has met a disproportionate share of 

the Province's responsibility to provide university education to inter- 

national undergraduate students. (Overall, the number of international 

students enrolled as undergraduates at British Columbia universities is 

less than 5% of total undergraduate enrollment.) However, Sinon Fraser 

University is experiencing severe pressures on its capacity to offer 

undergraduate programs to British Columbia and Canadian students and 

these students must be given more priority in these programs. Accordingly, 

it is necessary that measures be taken to limit the number of international 

students enrolling as undergraduates. Taking all factors into considera- 

tion, a quota based on a selected percentage of new undergraduate students 

is the most appropriate device for limiting the enrollment of inter- 

national students. 

Traditionally, graduate studies have involved a much larger flow of 

students between universities and between countries. Most universities 

with sizable graduate programs enroll a large proportion of their graduate 

students from outside the local jurisdiction. SinonFraser Univeristy is 

no exception; ti 

'

1e traditions of openness and reciprocity in admission of 

graduate students between countries is an important feature of graduate 

education. This University expects to be able to admit international 

graduate students without changes in existing procedures.

2. Admission Quotas 

a) A quota for international undergraduate students based on a selected 

percentage of new undergraduate students in the preceding academic 

year will be established for each academic year in April of the 

preceding academic year. For example, the quota for the academic 

year 1983/84 would normally be set in April, 1983. 

b)

In order to permit appropriate phasing in of this policy, and the 

development of required procedures, the quota for the 1983/84 academic 

year is established at this time at 7 percent of new undergraduate 

students. The Registrar's Office will determine the number of new 

international students that should be accepted in order to arrive at 

a final figure of new students registered that meets this quota. 

This quota will be net by reviewing the applications fran prospective 

students in terms of their academic standing. 'In order to operate 

such a variable standard of admission, new procedures for international 

student admissions may be introduced, including earlier deadlines for 

submission of completed applications for admission. 

3. Admission Criteria 

Beginning in May, 1983, international students who are not native speakers 

of English will be required to take a special English language proficiency 

test in the week before classes begin. Based on the results of the test, 

students may be required to undertake, and successfully complete, remedial 

work in English. This may be provided by Simon Fraser University or by 

other institutions. All costs of this program will be recovered from the 

students involved through fees. 

The University will continue to use the 'lDEFL as a screening device. Con- 

sideration will be given to modifying the criteria used in evaluating the 

scores on the test.

Stu.d.eti.i. Policy Proposal

Date . .

1. ?

1982....••.

Attached is CBIE's comparative report on policies for visa students

in Canada. Apart from the factual matter, some of the questions

asked may be useful for Senate's consideration.

I was disappointed with the recommendations you have made, having

brought up several of these concerns in Conversation with you:

We discussed improving services to visa students, given that

including graduate'students, their numbers will continue to be

substantial. A Handbook and English immersion courses are ser-

vices listed in the CBIE publication which other universities

are providing. You mentioned the possibility of a member of the

Academic Advice staff specialising in foreign student problems,

but this does not appear in the proposal.

We noted that, due to the trimester system and the possi-

bility of an unbroken course of study during residence, SFU is

particularly well suited to take on a larger component of the

trouble to supervise and monitor 

the results will warrant: it is 

sink or swim in their classes, wh 

to remedial help--possibly along 

Study Centre, which might also be 

difficulties. 

6. The suggested quota of 7% for 1983/4 seems arbitrary, or 

at least without any identifiable context. It is higher than 

average, but in an overview of the province's interests this 

may be even less than justifiable. Moreover, it does not 

address, or suggest its implication for, the serious de facto 

imbalances in enrollment from a few countries and in a fewd- 

partments. We understand that a large and convenient infra- 

structure exists for recruiting students from specific places, 

nations which already have relatively sophisticated education- 

al systems of their own. We are concerned that recruitment 

from established, middle-class constituencies is pre-empting 

recruitment and admissions from countries which need educated 

people far more urgently. 

In short, we do not regard foreign student policy as a "problem" of 

achieving parity with the other B.C. universities, but as an oppor- 

tunity to coordinate with those universities to rn;ike use of SFU's 

special aptitudes. We suggest expaiidin services to visa students 

in the form of a handbook, academic advice, and voluntary English 

courses (which may be subsidized by students who can afford to pay). 

Finally, we think it is imperative that any considerations of limit- 

ing enrollment involve a positive attempt to recruit students from 

underdeveloped nations or impoverished backgrounds. 

The positions in this memo were adopted by SFSS forum in its meeting 

on the 16th of June, 1982.
