RATIONALE: Each time FREN 341-3 has-been offered, it has dealt with French-Canadjar 

literature, in Translation exclusively. Therefore, we would like the title 

and the description to reflect more accurately the contents of the course. 

This is especially desirable for minors and majors in Canadian Studies who 

may wish to include FREN 341-3 in their degree program as a course with 

"Total Canadian content".

The Faculty of Arts Curriculum Committee has approved the

principle that students be permitted to transfer from

intensive Language courses to single semester courses

without penalty.

"That the Faculty of Arts Curriculum Committee 

approves late transfers from intensive courses 

to lower courses." 

The rationale for this motion lies in the fact that some

students who enter intensive 8 hour courses find that they

are unable for a variety of reasons, to complete the entire

course, but would be capable of completing the beginning

portion of the course, which is equivalent tothe 4 hour

introductory course. e.g., Students in Spanish 104-8 may

have completed or coul.d complete Spanish 102-4 although

they are unable to finish the 8 hour course..

In order to ?

accommodate such students, and to optimize their learning

experiences, it is proposed that such students be allowed

to drop Spanish 104-8 and to enter a section of Spahish

102-4, even though Spanish 102-4 is not being offered to

students, in any given semester. The Dean has been assured

that any such arrangement will not incur additional costs,

and that the Department of Languages, Literatures and

Linguistics is responsible for insuring that students

receive 'adeqUate counselling, instruction and support to

compl,ete.the reduced load within the original budget

allocated to the intensive course;

The Department of Languages, Literatures and Linguistics has

, this 'would mean 'from French lop & ,101SS into 

French 10ORS, and from Spanish 104-8RS into Spanish 1.02-4,- 

which is. not offered this 'Summer. As th,e whole question of 

transferring from Intensive courses has' been delayed by this 

office, but is 'now on route to SCUS, I hope. th'at'the Department's 

request can be 

met,

pending a final decision on the question.
