BACKGROUND

AND RATIONALE

British Columbia Institute of echnology offers two-year

diplomas in 26 different teclyologies. The program for

each

technology is rigidly defin^d,

although some of the technolo

g

ies,

have some .program options -

eg: a Market

Option and a Traffic

Option In the Marketing M. nagement Technology. A complete list

of the technologies is given in Appendix A.

Although the emphasis at B.C.I.T. Is quite different from

University, being

much

more vocationally oriented, it is clear

from even a superficial inspection of the

programs that many of

them contain ?

to material Included in dcree

programs at S.F.U. In fi

— p.ast, the

Course Challenge

mechanism

has been relied on to grant credit for work

at 13.C.l.T. This

paper recommends a.direct transfer arrangement.

It should be noted that this Is the third departure from the

principle tlat only work designed as part of a degree program

be granted transfer credit, the others being

work at

Colleges

of Education, and

the Diplomas offered by some British universities.

1O'F] ON 

That Snrtt-e authorize the Director of Admissions 

to grant transfer credit for work completed at the. 

British Columbia 1nstitute of Technology. 

?

The Senate Undergraduate Admissions Board has inst:ructed 

the Director of Admissions, subject to approval of the 

abovementioned motion by Senate, to negotiate with 

appropriate depar tmonts at S.F. U. and, if neceary, 

, with 

B.C.I.T. , to estab1ih a schedule of transfer credit. The 

study is to be completed by March 30th, 1974, so that 

transfer applicants for Fall Semester, 1974, may be consider-. 

ed for 

credit. 

S. ?

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS 

The motion is put forward as a simple enabling motion to 

enable the dotailed studies necessary to establish a schedule 

of transfer credit to get under way as rapidly ns.possible. 

WI th the instructions given to the Director of Admissions: by 

the Board, each of the academic departments concerned will be 

involved in the evaluation process. This will Involve mainly. 

the Departments of 

,

Economics and COmmerce, Computing Science, 

Mathematics, Biosciences, Chemistry, Physics and Communications 

Studi. 

Although U.B.C. only grants transfer credit on a very selective 

basis, and the University of Victoria does not grnnt any credit, 

it appears (see correspondence in Appendix B) that both these 

institutions are ready t take a more liberal approach. 13.C.I .T; 

has also negotiated a transfer arrangement for business courses 

with the University of Alberta.
