MEMORANDUM

From

SENATE COMMITTEE ON UNDERGRADUATE STUDIES 

Date

NOVEMBER 12. 1974 

CHANGE IN COURSE DESCRIPTION AND IN 

MOTION 1: 

?

"That Senate approve - and recommend approval 

to the board - the new course proposal, as set 

forth in s.74-145, for 

PSYC 444-5 - Psychopathology 

MOTION 2: 

?

"That Senate approve the proposed change, as set 

forth in S.74-145, 

(i)

in description for PSYC 451-5 Psychology of Infancy, 

and

(ii) 

in wording of the regulation for admission to upper 

level seminars, 

From: A minimum of 5th 

level 

standing is required 

for admission. Admission to any upper level 

seminar requires permission of the instructor 

To: A minimum of 60 semester hours credit is required 

for admission. Additionally, admission to any 

upper level seminar requires permission of the 

instructor." 

At its meeting of 5th November, 1974 the Senate Committee 

on Undergraduate Studies discussed the attached proposals from the 

Department of Psychology. 

In the case of the new course proposal, PSYC.444-5: 

Psychopathology, the Dean of Arts responded to a question about 

the relationship of this course to any new departures in the area 

of Clinical 

'

Psychology by saying that, while there were on-going 

discussions in the Department about establishing a program In this 

field, this course was being introduced independently of any such 

proposal as a supplement to a similar course at a lower level. It 

was also noted that, should any proposal for a program in Clinical 

Psychology be brought forward in the future, it would have to be 

reviewed, not only by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies, 

but also by the Academic Planning Committee. 

In discussing the second proposal to eliminate the. course 

description from PSYC 451-5: Psychology of Infancy, it was noted 

that the Department felt that the course title was sufficient 

description of the course and that, in suggesting this change, the 

Department was bringing this course into line with its other upper 

level seminars. ? 

When doubts were expressed about this practice, 

the Dean of Arts agreed to bring the question of including course 

descriptions in the Calendar to the attention of the Faculty of 

Arts Curriculum Committee, with the suggestion that it be discussed 

with the Psychology Department. 

During the discussion of the proposed Calendar change, 

it was confirmed that the wording proposed was a general statement 

relating to all upper level Psychology seminars. 

These proposals are now forwarded to Senate with the 

Committee's recommendation that they be approved.

Rationale: Across the University there has been confusion

level or completion 

of the 5th level. The wording change 

brings it into parallel with similar clauses in other 

sections of the 

calendar.
