At its meeting of January 21, 1975, following 

requests through the Deans of the Faculties of Arts and Inter- 

disciplinary Studies, the Senate Committee on Undergraduate

Studies approved the following motion: 

"That SCUS approve the revision of vector 

descriptions contained in Paper SCUS 75-3 

to reflect existing course organization, 

recognizing that this action

does not 

endorse limitation of course enrolment based 

on organization, nor limit the prerogative 

of SCUS to review present and proposed 

instructional organization patterns." 

In the discussion, it was emphasized that the changes 

.

?

proposed were designed to ensure consistency between the instructional 

organization of present offerings and the formal vectors to be 

applied to courses. It was further emphasized that these technical 

adjustments could not be used as a method to impose enrolment 

restrictions. The Committee also wished to assure Senate that, while 

the

present adjustments are being made to ensure uniformity within 

the University and to bring all departments into line with new rules 

on this question, a further review of existing and proposed offerings 

will be undertaken.

Further to our recent discussions, it will be recalled that 

(with some exceptions such as for directed readings courses), all 

courses require a vector which is approved by the various committees 

and Senate as a part of the original course submission; that the 

Registrar's Office is charged with maintaining a file of the vectors 

approved by Senate, and that Departments concerned are advised to do 

likewise; that for the University Calendar the nature of the course 

as approved may be expressed in word form (reflecting the vector 

description) or in the numerical vector form; that the vector for 

any given semester will appear in the Course Guide for that semester; 

that the vector can be changed for any given semester, or semesters, 

by the Chairman of the Department, subject to the approval of the 

Departmental Curriculum Committee, and within the total number of 

contact hours assigned to the course -with provision that if change 

is to be made for any number of consecutive semesters consideration 

should be given to a request for formal approval (through to Senate) 

to change the original vector to that desired (ref. S.73-125 and 

S.74-43 and memo from the Chairman, SCUS, July 15, 1974, - and Senate 

action of December 2, 1974 permitting retention of the Senate approved 

numerical vector in the calendar for those Departments and Faculties 

so desiring). 

In the submission of material for the Undergraduate Calendar 

for 1975-76 generally these provisions have not presented any problem 

but it is clear that there are some areas still requiring resolution. 

As recommended to the Chairman of SCUS and to you, it is intended that 

these be cleared immediately (unless there are unforeseen problems), 

with presentation to the Senate Conithittee on Undergraduate Studies on 

Tuesday, January 21, 1975. 

In brief the problem areas arise from shifting in the word 

forms for inclusion in Calendar as compared with the numerical form 

originally approved, without Committee and Senate approval, and from 

the emphasis to establish clarity. 

The Faculty of Arts Curriculum Committee has approved a 

number of changes of this type which likely should have gone forward 

to Senate but the decisions are not fully clear on some items. The 

apparent intent is being accepted for onward transmission unless there. 

is information to the contrary. Some direct questions are being asked 

to assist in actions needed. For example, clarification is needed as 

.

is

-2-

to whether a course originally described as Vector (1-0-2), now 

described as Lecture/Tutorial is to have a basically approved 

vector of (1-2-0) or some other combination. 

The Departmen 

t

of Philosophy has a number of courses now 

approved by the Faculty of Arts Curriculum Committee as "Seminar" 

but shown in the present calendar as (3-0-2) or similar combination 

of 5. It appears that this is now meant to be (0-3-0). If this be 

the case, it should be so shown and it would then be this to be 

presented to scus and Senate. This particular type of change seems 

to parallel that which was undertaken on the new History submission 

by SCUS and approved by Senate. If this not be the case, clarifica- 

tion should be made, and appropriate data would be sent to those 

bodies. 

The attached sheets identify those courses about which 

questions exist. If there has been misunderstanding on intent, 

please have corrections made. If there prove to be serious diff i- 

culties about any particular course it is proposed that it remain 

unchanged from the present calendar insofar as vector is concerned 

with desired changes to follow later in the usual fashion. 

There are some courses in the Faculty of Interdisciplinary 

Studies requiring actions of this type and Dean Brown is being 

requested to provide necessary data.
