MOTION
That Senate approve the proposed Calendar statement on prerequisfor upper
division History courses, as set forth in S.76-
RATIONALE
The Faculty of Arts intends to remove the restriction it has previously placed
on lower levels students undertaking upper division course work. If regulations
are required, the development of those regulations at the departmental level
rather than at the faculty level will permit appropriate waivers at the
department level. In the past, students seeking waivers were required to
apply (often with departmental support) to the faculty curriculum committee.
Considerable discussion took place in SCUS over the value of maintaining general
prerequisites rather than requiring only the specific content or skills needed
for a particular course. The general prerequisite was supported on the wounds
that the quality of upper division course work depends on reasonable assurance
of intellectual maturity and academic experience.

Requirements
?
Addition of Minor ReQui.remen-ts
for Prospective ?
"Students intending to enter th
Minor, Major
?
minor program must obtain at least
and Honors Students
?
nine hours credit in 100 and 200
• ?
in the Lower Levels
?
division course work in history
during the first four levels."
Rationale:
These were omitted from the 75-76 calendar
by error. The department wishes to have
some pre-requisites for a minor but not
as many as for the major.
I
p
.•c.
As upper division history courses require substantial academic
background, students should nornlly have completed 45 credit
hours (or its equivalent) prior to enrollment in an upper divisic
history courses."
Rationale: ?
•
In response to the removal of the distinction
between Upper and Lower Division by the
Faculty of Arts, the Department has included -
the stipulation that noramily q
'
tuden-ts must ta)
45 hours before undertaking Upper Division
courses. This will prevent most students from
undertaking such courses, but allow the
department the flexibility of allowing
extraordinary studcnts to enrol in courses
before this time.
