Revisions to Senate paper S.l 0-1 06

At the Senate meeting on September 13) 2010, there was a friendly amendment approved

that the wording in the document, regarding admission to

"home" university) be resolved

before the motion goes to the Board

of Governors for approval.

Concern

was expressed over the following statement) "students with Chinese citizenship

who wish to join the GDDP programs must first apply for admission at ZU." The issue

was raised that if a student had dual citizenship) then according to that statement they must

first apply to ZU as the "home" university. In reality) students are required to apply for

admission to each university regardless

of citizenship.

The wording under the category of admission has been changed to say) "Students must

first

be admitted to one institution) and then apply) and be admitted to the other

institution. To qualify for admission to the GDDP programs, students must satisfy the

usual admission requirenlents specified by each university. The university

of first-

admission \vill be referred to as the student's "home" university. Students with SFU as

their home university are called SFU students and students with ZU as their home

university are called

ZU students below." The revised papers reflect this change.
