B. Undergraduate Programs

Budget Planning for 92/93

The Committee was

faced

with the expectation of a reduced budget in

92/93. It had to decide how to accommodate possible expenditure

reductions in the three primary undergraduate programs: Bursaries,

Entrance Scholarships and Open Scholarships.

The Committee decided to protect, as much as possible, the Bursary

budget, and to allocate any necessary reductions approximately equally

between the Entrance Scholarship and Open Scholarship Programs.

The number of Entrance Scholarships for 92/93 is being reduced

significantly in response to Budget limitations.

3. Open Undergraduate Scholarships

In order to respond to Budget limitations, the terms of reference were

changed as follows:

From

1991/92

Open Undergraduate Scholarship Terms of Reference:

Initial Eligibility: To qualify for the first time, students will be required to

have completed at least 24 credit hours of normal graded courses at SFU

and have achieved an SFU CGPA of at least 3.60.

Further Eligibility: To have tuition paid for in the semester of eligibility, a

student must have an SFU CGPA of at least 3.60, must have achieved an

SFU semester GPA in the last semester of registration at SF0 of at least

3.50, and must be registered at SF0 in the semester of eligibility.

To 1992/93

Open Undergraduate Scholarship Terms of Reference:

Eligibility: To qualify a student must have, at SF0, a minimum CGPA

of 3.60, a minimum semester GPA of 3.50 in the last semester of

registration and have completed at least 24 credit hours of normally graded

will be paid in the same semester a student meets all eligibility requirements.

Other Program criteria will remain unchanged for 1992/93.

VI. WORK STUDY PROGRAM: UNDERGRADUATE AND GRADUATE

The SFU Work Study Program provides part time employment which is intended to

be mutually beneficial to students and the University. Every effort is made to

provide career-related job experience, which is primarily of a research nature. The

Work Study program is intended normally to supplement Provincial and Federal

student loan programs, as per policy requirements of the government funded

program. However, Work Study funded through SFU requires only that students

demonstrate financial need to qualify.

All

students must meet a financial needs test,

must be registered in, and maintain 9 credit hours or more in undergraduate studies,

or be registered in a Graduate Program for Graduates, and must be in satisfactory

academic standing.
