MARCH, 1973 

SUBJECT: TRANSFER CREDIT FOR SPECIAL ENTRY 

AND MATURE STUDENTS 

When Senate approved new admissions and transfer credit 

policies resulting from the Ellis Report in 1969, the 

following statements in regard to transfer credit were 

included:-- 

(i) Transfer credit will be awarded for all 

• acceptable passed courses if the average 

on all passed courses is 60% (C) or 

• ? better. ? 

(ii) 

No transfer credit will be awarded if the 

average on all courses undertaken is less 

..than60% (C). ? 

•

At that time, statement (ii) had no real impact, since 

?

there was' only0 one provision for admitting students 'with 

less 

than a' C average, and that was one which involved 

relatively few students. 

Since that time, the number of such students admitted 

has increased substantially by the following routes:-- 

- through the greatly increased numbers of 

?

Mature Students; ? 

through S.U.A.B. granting the Director of' 

Admissions authority to admit selected 

unqualified students 

as

Special Entries; 

•

?

- through the Senate Appeals Board.

In dealing with these students, it soon became apparent 

that many of them, although not technically qualified 

for admission, had substantial quantities of work with 

respectable grades mixed in with work with marginal or 

failing grades. The Senate Appeals Board established. 

the practice when admitting these students of granting 

credit for. work which had been completed with a grade of 

C or better. This practice was also adopted by the 

Admissions Office for granting credit 

to

Mature Students 

and Special Entry students. The practice is logical and 

works well. It appears time that it becamepart of the 

formal policy. Since the practice is already being 

followed, no implementation date is required. 

MOTION 

That the policy statement, 

to No transfer credit will be awarded if the 

average on all courses undertaken is less 

than 60% (C) 

be replaced by the statement, 

"

When a student tith 

an average of less 

than 60% (C) on all courses undertaken 

is admitted under one of the special 

provisions, . transfer credit will .be 

awarded for all courses passed with a 

grade of 60% (C) or higher. "
