TO: All
Members of Senate
?
FROM: H.M. Evans,
Secretary of Senate and
Registrar.
November 19, 1968.
REPORT ON ADMISSIONS AND STANDINGS
1. ?
Section 54 of the Universities Act includes:- "It is the duty
of the Senate and it has power - (c) to determine all questions
relating to the academic and other qualifications required of
applicants for admission as students to the University or to any
Faculty, and to determine in which Faculty the students pursuing
each course of study shall register." This is considered to
include the standing which may be granted on admission, determining
the level of admission.
2.
Senate of this University on a number of occasions has formally
.
adopted statements of policy in this regard, and approves the
.
University Calendar in which a number of statements appear
covering admissions and standings.
3.
Senate has established the Senate Committee on Undergraduate
Admissions and Standings to deal with these matters.
?
The terms of
reference for that committee are attached.
4.
From time to time the Senate Committee has established sub--policies
on ?
admissions and standings, considered in the light of Senate's
overall policy statements.
5.
The Registrar and staff are required to administer the policies
developed and to interpret them as required.
6.
Cases which do not fall under the policies developed by Senate or
through its Committee are referred to the Committee through the
Registrar's staff for guidance and/or decision.
?
Consideration of
a number of similar cases may generate a decision by the Senate
Committee on a sub-policy, which then must be administered by the
Registrar and staff in day-to-day operations.
?
From time-to-time
further amplification or adjustments may be made.
7.
In cases of significant doubt or difficulty the decision of the
Senate Committee will be sought before any direct decision is
communicated to the applicant.
8.
There
is
provision for appeal against the decision of the Registrar's
office to the Senate Cnmiittee on Undergraduate Admissions and
Standings, and for further review, as set forth in the terms of
reference for the Senate Committee.

9.
Although an overall statement of policy may appear quite clear
in
principle, its application in practice usually will be much
more difficult, resulting in development of sub-policies or
categorizations for clarity and as much equitability as
possible. The degree to which such categorization has been
developed and approved has great bearing on the size and
complexity of areas which remain for decision by the Registrar
and staff in terms of stated overall policies. If policies are
relatively thoroughly defined the discretionary areas left to
the Registrar are reduced; if unclearly defined the directionary
areas may be large. This will have impact on the volume of
cases requiring reference to the committee before direct
decision is given to the applicant.
10.
When an amplification, clarification or categorization of policy
is approved by Senate or through its Committee it becomes part
of the day-to-day operation of the Registrar's staff, subject to
the provisions for appeal by an applicant. It may appear in the
University Calendar, in forms of standard letters or general
correspondence, in printed materials. The flyer "Admissions
• Bulletin, 1968-69" is an example, including amplification of
policies appearing in the Calendar, based on decisions of the
. ?
Senate Committee. A copy is attached, as part of this report,
together with copies of some of the forms of standard letters
• approved by the Committee, as these give data on admissions policy.
11 The Calendar is published once a year only and is not always
up-to-date as Senate or its Committee may change requirements for
admission and/or standing in intervening semesters. An "addenda"
needs be introduced.
12.
An applicant normally wishes rather clear indication of the advance
credit/standing he will receive on prior work. Some conflict in
this area is evident. The Registrar's staff directly, or after
review by Committee, will indicate advance credit for certain
courses, based on what is understood to be current policy.
Advance standing is determined by the academic department con-
cerned, and the applicant may lose the credit. This is a
continuing problem, vexatious to academic departments, the
Registrar's office and, in particular, students. Attention is
drawn to the current calendar, "Advance Credit, Advance Standing"
pages 37 or 38 as it relates to Grade XIII. Similar problems
arise in
other cases. Continued efforts are required to ensure
the groups concerned are fully informed on the policy immediately
existing, to prevent errors and conflict, as they do arise.
13.
Statements are attached pertaining to Vancouver City College and
. ?
courses currently recognized by this University, subject to the
policies covering grade-point averages and related matters. This
was developed after intensive negotiations between the College
• ?
representatives and a full-meeting of Heads of Departments at Simon
Fraser
University
approximately one year ago with each department

indicating recognition it would give, on the expectation that
the listing would be honoured to the end of the Spring Semester
1969, unless otherwise required. There is indication that one
department proposes change. Until this is clarified the
Registrar's office would normally indicate courses listed would
be recognized but a department may indeed decide not to grant
recognition. Problems arise, not easy of solution.
The general policy of Senate covering Regional Colleges appears
in the materials.
14.
A
number of rulings or categorizations approved by the Senate
Committee are attached, indicating operational policies followed
in such cases by the Registrar's office.
15.
A review of the terms of reference and composition of the Senate
Committee on Undergraduate Admission and Standings may be
necessary. At present the Registrar, or his staff, are called
upon to make the first decision (in many cases) on admissions
or standings. Appeal may go to the Senate Committee which
technically is chaired by the Registrar. Further appeal is
still chaired by the Registrar. This procedure is a doubtful
one, and an alternative may be helpful.
By the nature of the tri-mester system temporary replacements
on the Committee are required from time-to--time, and, because
of the normal load carried by members substitutions are
periodically required or the Committee operates with few members.
As the Committee operates in a technical area continuity and
experience are most helpful. Maintenance of a file of major
policy decisions readily available to the Committee members for
guidance is required, to ensure equitability of decision in
similar cases, and to assist in development of, or changes in,
policies as required. A procedure for reporting periodically
to Senate might be helpful. Members of the committee have
indicated strong desire to have operating procedures more
effective.

EXTRACTS FROM THE 1968/69 EDITION
OF THE SIMON
FRASER UNIVERSITY
CALENDAR.
Admission Requirements
The following admission requirements have been established as a guide
to applicants and the Admissions Committee. Possession of these mini-
mum requirements does not establish the right of an applicant to be
admitted. The University reserves the right to reject or accept any
applicant.
The University reserves the right to limit enrolment when it deems the
facilities and resources available to it are not adequate to provide for addi-
tional students. This situation may arise in 1968 and the years follow-
ing. Some students who meet the minimum requirements as laid down in
this Calendar may, therefore, be refused admission. This provision applies
• both to students applying for admission for the first time and those apply-
ing for re-admission, after having voluntarily withdrawn or who have
been required to withdraw from the University.
A. Applicants from British Columbia
1. Admission from Grade XII (completed prior to 1967)
Admission may be grunted to graduates of the University En-
trance Program who obtained an average of 60% or better over
the terminal grades in English 40 and three acceptable majors.
Where more than three majors have been completed, the average
will he based on the highest three marks. In the case of a Science
major the mark used will be the average of the highest two "91"
science marks.
The letter grade used by the Department of Education for courses
in which recommendation has been granted is interpreted as fol-

SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY?
REGIONAL COLLEGE TRANSFER?
Vancouver City College
The attached documents show the
transfer
privileges which were approved
by Senate on August 7th, 1967, as interim operating procedures with
respect to students from recognized regional colleges.
A summary of the transfer privileges from Vancouver City College for the
1968 Spring Semester to the 1969 Spring Semester inclusive is also
attached. This transfer agreement will remain in effect until the begin-
ning of the 1969 Summer Semester subject to the conditions that we
reserve the privilege of withdrawing a course or courses from this list,
should such a need arise, and that the College would be given adequate
notice for counselling purposes. On the recommendation of the Department
Head concerned we also agreed to give
consideration
to adding any course
or courses to the list. This information was communicated to Vancouver
City College, February 1st, 1968.

REF.
Dr. B.E. Wales, Director,
Vancouver City College,
951 West 12th Avenue,
Vancouver 9, B.C.
Dear Dr. Wales:
Our Senate has approved on August 7, 1967, the following
interim operating procedures with respect to transfer students from
recognized
Regional
Colleges:
(a). Normally, students who were eligible for
• ?
admission prior to attending the College
will be admitted with full credit for all
approved courses in which they received
a 'C' or better.
(b)
Normally, students who were not eligible
for admission prior to attending the
College may be admitted upon successful
completion of at least four courses in
one semester at the College. On admission
such students will be granted full credit
for all approved courses in which they
received a 'C' or better.
(c)
Normally, students whose record at the
College is such that had they been at
the University their academic status would
be 'on probation', will not be admitted
until this
condition
is removed.
The regulations (b) and (c) above apply primarily to students
whose last academic work in secondary school prior to their admission
to your
Institution
was moderately successful but whose level of per-
formance was not quite at the level required for admission to Simon
Fraser
University.
The 'normally' allows the Admissions Committee to
. ?
make judgements on individual applicants who have a record of academic
failures in secondary school or who have a bad academic record at another
post-secondary institution prior to attending the College.
I - -
t
0
?
-2-
In addition to the above the Senate has also stipulated
that students who have been required to withdraw from Simon Fraser
University for a period of one calendar year will normally not be
granted credit for academic work completed during the required
period of absence if re-admitted to continue university studies.
If you have any specific queries regarding the application
of these interim operating procedures for students wishing to transfer
from your
Institution
do not hesitate to write us.
Yoursf truly,

ADVANCE STANDINQ/CREDIT FROM SENIOR MATRICULATION
Senate Extract from the February 5th 1968 Meeting
.
"that the
the Admissions Committee be authorized by Senate to grant advance
standing or credit to outstanding students from provinces where Grade 12
represents Senior Matriculation."
Extract from the Minutes of the July 10th, 1968 Meeting of the Senate
Committee on Undergraduate Admissions and Standings,_
The Committee confirmed that advance credit from a British Columbia Senior
Matriculation programme would be in accordance with the calendar provided a
minimum of three courses is passed in a single sitting or standing held in
a minimum of five courses.
The Committee ruled that advance credit/standing could, be awarded to
outstanding applicants presenting credentials from other provinces in
Canada where Grade 12 represents Senior Matriculation. Applicants from
other Canadian provinces are required to obtain an overall average in a
single sitting of at least5% greater than that required for admission to
the leading university in their own province. To be considered for advance
credit/standing the applicant must obtain an overall average 20% above
that required for admission and advance credit/standing is awarded for
those courses in which a grade of 10% above the required minimum overall
average is obtained.
The Committee also ruled that these regulations would
' also apply to
Ontario where Senior Matriculation is Grade XIII.

SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY
ITEMS FROM THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON UNDERGRADUATE ADMISSIONS AND STANDINGS.
STUDENTS APPLYING FOR ADMISSION TO SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY AFTER
HAVING ALREADY OBTAINED A FIRST DEGREE FROM A UNIVERSITY IN THEIR
OWN COUNTRY
It was decided that the Committee would in the future not accept
students holding a first degree in Arts, Science or Education, but
rather would recommend these students be reviewed in the light of
deficiencies they may have for admission to Graduate Studies. In
most cases these students would be required to complete preparatory
work for admission at the graduate level but only in exceptional
cases would a second degree at the same level be granted from Simon .
Fraser University.
/ ADVANCE CREDIT/STANDING FOR COURSES COMPLETED AT A NON-RECOGNIZED
INSTITUTION OF HIGHER LEARNING OR ON NON-DEGREE PROGRAMMES
The Committee discussed the question of similar cases to Mrs.
?
-
which might arise in the future where advance credit/standing was
recommended on work other than courses completed at a recognized
institution of higher learning and which were eligible for credit
on a degree program. The members agreed that whereas Mrs. ______
would be granted the work of one year, all future cases must be
referred to the Department Head or Heads recommending the credit
and the actual course titles and numbers from our own calendar
must be submitted with their recommendation for advance credit.
/TRANSFER OF CREDIT FROM RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS
10
The question of transfer of credit from Religious Institutions and,
in particular, those intended primarily to prepare future candidates
for the clergy was discussed. A transcript had been submitted from
a student who has completed the Bachelor of Arts (in Theology) program
at Christ the King College, Mission, B.C. A meeting was held during the
previous week with the Reverend Acquinas, Dean of Studies at Christ the
King College, Professor R. Baker, Head of the English Department, Dr.
John Ellis, Chairman of the professional Foundation and Mr. D. Meyers,
Assistant Registrar. The curriculum of Christ the King College was
discussed at this meeting and possible courses that could be considered for
transfer. Professors Ellis and Baker presented their recommendations to the
members of the Committee and it was decided that each student and each
course would be considered on an individual basis and, in general, the
student must hold a 'B' grade or better before any consideration for advance
credit would be given. The Committee also felt that in no event would any
credit be granted for courses beyond the sophomore year level.

TRANSFER
.
FROH UNIVERSITIES SUCH AS SIR GEORGE WILLIAMS
AND
NOTRE
DANE UNIVERSITY
.A number of requests for admission on transfer from universities such
as Sir George Williams and Notre Dame have passed through the Committee
within the last few months. Many of these students came from countries
other than Canada and the United States and they frequently have not
met the admission requirements which would be demanded by either our-
selves or the University of British Columbia.
?
It was proposed that?
for universities such as the aforementioned we should accept transfer
credit for only those courses receiving grades of B' or better and in
no event would Simon Fraser transfer more than the work of the first
two years of a four year Bachelor of Arts, Science or Education program.
A member. recommended this proposal to the other members of the Committee
and it was agreed that this would be the policy in future for transfer
students in this category.
These passed at the August
3, 1966

IN INDIA_
It was requested that the Committee review its admissions policy
on students seeking admission from India and suggested that we invite
T.B. Bottomore and A.H. Somjee to offer their recommendations. Professor

Bottomore has replied, a copy of which is attached, and the Committee?
felt that inasmuch as this was already the admissions policy of the
University it would remain unchanged and that admission would require
a fist degree in the first or second division from a recognized university
in India. The members agreed that certain exceptions to this policy,
such-as requests from
ti-k--
Delhi School of Economics, could be made.
Passed at the August 10th,

TRANSFER OF CREDIT FOR UNIVERSITIES ON THE SEMESTER SYSTEM OF THREE (3)
FIVE-UNIT COURSES PER SEMESTER AT TUE FRESILNAN/SOPIIOMORE YEAR LEVELS.
The Committee agreed that the transfer of credits for universities whose
first four semesters are composed of a program of three courses with
five semester hours credit each should receive full credit provided they
correspond to subject and
content
matter on our own curriculum and the
university standards are sufficiently high. Credit granted for laboratory
work, etc. would not be recognized unless similar credit
i8
given for
the
same work within our own Departments.
These passed at the March 2nd, 1967 meeting.
TRANSFER PRIVILEGES FOR STUDENTS ADMITTED TO A DEGREE PROGRAM AT THIS
INSTITUTION WHO WISH TO UNDERTAKE WORK IN EUROPEAN UNIVERSITIES
A request to undertake work in Europe from
?
, copies of which
are attached, was discussed and the Committee felt that a policy
should be established for future reference. It was decided that
students wishing to complete work in European universities would be
required to arrange for written permission from each Department Head
concerned to enroll for particular courses and be submitted to the
Registrar. The Registrar would, in turn, forward a letter of.
permission to the student. It was further stipulated that the
student must be informed that he will be required to present, before
credit would be awarded, official documentation from the Registrar
and/or the Hoed of each Department, together with a notarized English
translation, showing the level of achievement of each course under-
taken and the hours and duration of time required for each course.
• reminded the Committee that this procedure would be
necessary for most European universities inasmuch as they do not
award individual grades for each year of attendance.)

v WORK COMPLETED AT THE SENIOR MATRICULATION LEVEL AND UNDERTAKEN OUTSIDE
OF CANADA
In the past a number of requests have been submitted for Advance Standing
by various departments for work completed at the Senior Matriculation
level which was undertaken outside of Canada. The Committee decided that
the completion of Senior Matriculation, or its equivalent, was the minimum
admission requirement .to Simon Fraser University and that no advance, credit
would normally be granted. These students would be granted advance
placement at the discretion of the department head cacerned.

application for admission to Simon Fraser University. The Committee
decided that normally such a student would be required to return to
