Subject: Graduate Calendar 

From: L. Srivastava 

A/Academic Vice-President 

Date: March 16, 1970. 

To: SENATE 

is

.

1.

In recent years Senate has directly concerned itself with the 

Undergraduate Calendar submission and, following review by the 

Senate Committee on Graduate Studies, the Graduate Calendar. 

2.

In the latter part of 1969 Senate adjusted its procedures such 

that the Undergraduate Calendar would be consolidated in the 

Office of the Registrar, referred to individual departments for 

review, and then presented to the printers - without necessity 

of the calendar coming directly before Senate. The Registrar's 

Office would undertake to ensure that changes approved by Senate 

were 

i

ncorporated in the calendar prior to submission of the 

material for review purposes to the various departments. 

3.

At that time no changes in the procedures for the Graduate Calendar 

were indicated. However, discussions have been held with the 

Executive Committee of the Senate Committee on Graduate Studies 

and with the Senate Committee on Graduate Studies and a change in 

procedures is recommended. 

3. The Senate Committee on Graduate Studies gave authority for the 

Executive Committee to review the Graduate Calendar on its behalf. 

Procedures similar to those adopted for preparation of the 

Undergraduate Calendar were undertaken. Specifically, the 

Registrar's Office was charged with reviewing those items approved 

by Senate throughout the past year, for inclusion in the Graduate 

Calendar for 1970-71. This has been done, and the consolidated 

materials have been provided to the appropriate departments for 

review. Necessary adjustments and corrections have been incor- 

porated in the materials presently consolidated within the 

Registrar's Office. 

The Executive Committee of the Senate Committee on Graduate Studies 

has approved the Graduate Calendar, subject to consideration of 

three items at the April meeting of Senate. The three items are 

those concerned with the submission from the Department of Màdern 

Languages, the submission from the Department of History including 

Course 896-5, and Course Psychology 725 from the Department of 

Psychology. 

• With the exception of the items noted above, the Executive Committee 

of the Senate Committee on Graduate Studies has approved the con- 

solidation of the Graduate CaIeiidar. It has further approved the 

-2-

consolidation of the calendar including the above items, subject to any 

adjustments necessary on the basis of Senate decision on these items. 

4. The following motion is presented to Senate for approval:- 

"That the preparation of the Graduate Calendar for 

1970-71 and subsequent years be undertaken by the 

Office of the Registrar along the same lines as those 

approved for preparation of the Undergraduate Calendar 

(ref. S. 303)."
