TO: Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies

FROM: Donna Moore, Acting Director of Admissions

RE: Minimum Number of Transfer Credits for BC University Transfer and BC Visiting

Students

At the December

5/06

meeting SCUS approved in principle the SCEMP Motion on

Minimum Number of Transfer Credits for BC and Yukon College Admission (SCUS 06-

38) "Applicants who met the University's admission requirements after completing grade

12 may be admitted on the basis of those requirements, provided they have attempted

fewer than 24 semester hours of transfer credit."

As a consequence the Chair of SCUS requested that the Acting Director of Admission

review the other BC Basis of Admission to determine if any of them need adjustment as a

consequence of the approved motion and present a recommendation at the next SCUS

meeting.

Recommendation: That BC University Transfer be revised to read as follows:

Applicants in good standing at other recognized universities may be admitted on

completion of at least 24 hours of transferable work with a minimum of 60% (2.0)

average.

Note: This change will also automatically apply to BC Visiting Students who are

evaluated as BC University Transfer students.
