1. Recognizing that serious problems have arisen in respect of a

definitive and comprehensive admissions and standings policy,

especially in respect of transferability of credit and standing

from other British Columbia institutions, the Senate Committee

on Undergraduate Admissions and Standings recommends that the

Senate develop a policy on admissions and standings based on

the following general principles:

(a)

That consideration of admissions and standings be on

academic grounds only.

(b)

That the policy be a university policy based on general

rather than rimarily departmental criteria.

(c)

That Credit transfer to Simon Fraser University from

other British Columbia institutions be more liberal.

(d)

That this policy, when adopted by Senate, be made public.

2.

That the President name one member of faculty who will be charged

with the development of a definitive and comprehensive admissions

and standings policy.

3.

That the terms of reference for the above individual shall be:

(a)

Release from all other duties for a period of three

months.

(b)

Consultation with interested parties, both inside and outside

the University.

(c) That the policy when developed be submitted to the President

.

?

for subsequent approval by Senate.
