16TH MARCH, .978 

On February 1, 1978, the Senate Undergraduate Admissions 

Board considered the course, English 12 (Modified English) 

for inclusion 

in

the list of courses acceptable for 

admission to Simon Fraser University. The Board's decision 

was to not allow the course to be used as one of the 

academic Grade 12 subjects for admission purposes. This 

position was taken on the basis of the following information:-- 

a)

The course is English 12 modified by the school 

so that students may concentrate on minimum 

essential content. 

b)

The course is strictly a local school responsibility 

and, as such, there is no syllabus, or course out- 

line available from the Ministry of Education.                       

•

c)

Some secondary schools have indicated that the 

course is considered to be for non-university 

students. 

The Board felt that any student who completes English 12 

(ME) as part of their academic Grade 12 program could 

become admissible to Simon Fraser University by subsequently 

completing the regular English 12 course, or by completing 

a full year of acceptable studies at a B.C. Regional College.
