SUBJECT: CREDIT FOR WORK AT OTHER

INSTITUTIONS

At the meeting on September 14th, 1970, Senate considered

Paper S.404, Credit for Work at Other Institutions, submitted

by the Senate Committee on Undergraduate Admissions and Stand-

ings. After considerable discussion, Senate referred the

paper back to the Senate Undergraduate Admissions Board for

revision.

Th e

following policy statement was approved unanimously by

SUAB, and is recommended for adoption by Senate. This state-

ment, if approved, will appear in the next' edition of the

Calendar.

TRANSFER CREDIT

FOR

WORK AT OTHER INSTITUTIONS

Simon Fraser University students who wish to take academic

work at other institutions for credit towards a Simon Fraser

undergraduate degree must obtain permission

IN

ADVANCE from

their Department Chairman (if a major has been declared) and

the Dean of their Faculty. A form for this purpose is

available from the Office of the Registrcir.

Total transfer credit may not emceed 60 semester hours, and

may not include more than 15 semester hours credit as upper

division work. No more than 30 semester hours

of

transfer

credit is permitted after initial registration at Simon

Fraser University.

Within these limits, credit may be transferred for all

courses passed with a grade of C or better, and which are

acceptable under this University's transfer policies. Trans-

fer work is not included in the cumulative grade point average.

This statement, which has been modified according to the

amendments passed previously by Senate represents a consider-

able liberalization of the present highly restrictive policy.

.

? With adoption of this policy, students will be able to.-take

one academic year (30 semester hours) at another institution

at any time in their programme.
