RATIONALE
A) Removal ofEDUC 378-3
• The
curriculmn is covered in EDUC 480
I 481.
B) EDUC 380 was made into an optional course because
BDue
480
I
481 are more
directly focused on the classroom context of teaching and learning.
C) Addition of "Additional courses may also be selected from an approved list available
at the time of registration
n
•
• Factors such as Faculty teaching commitments, budget considerations and
availability of instructors require that a measure of programmatic flexibility be
retained
with regards to courses offered.
D) Removal of Didactique courses at Universite Laval (DID 18200 and DID 18201)
• These courses were only offered once in 200S in conjunction with the Explore
program, and have been removed because:
a. not all students involved in the Laval program had sufficient proficiency
to fully benefit from these courses
b. the course contents were largely duplicating concepts and theories already
covered in SFU courses
c.
the time spent in these classes prevented students from participating fully
in the cultural activities offered within the Explore program
E) Removal of wording regarding the Explore program.
• Explore is not stricdy a part of them minor in French Education, although an
excellent complement to
BOue
404 courses related
to
French language
education.

Transfer creeln
Students may transfer a maximum of 60 units into the 8GS (Education) from
accredited institutions. Students may transfer an additional 30 units from an
accredited degree-granting institution with Faculty of Education
appro~alJ
providing 30 of the required 45 upper division units are Simon Fraser University
courses. Also note that any minor program must include at least seven upper
division units earned at Simon Fraser University. See "Undergraduate Degree
Requirements"
for
regulations".
To:
Transfer Credit
Students may transfer a maximum of 60 units into the 8GS (Education) from
accredited institutions. Students from SFU approved programs such as
AHCOTE, the Professional Unldng Program or other approved Faculty of
Education programs may transfer an additional 30 units from an accredited
degree-granting institution. providing 30 of the required 45 upper division units
are Simon Fraser University courses. Also note that any minor program must
include at least seven upper division units earned at Simon Fraser University.
See
"Undergraduate
Degree
Requirements"
for
regulations".
Rationale:
This amendment explains our intention for the additional transfer credits. These
additional transfer credits were intended for our northem students (e.g. AHCOTE)
who have difficulty completing SFU degrees through distance education
coursework. As the Faculty of Education tries to meet the needs of outlying
communities
with
new programs as the demand arises. we wish to keep some
flexibility ('or other approved Faculty of Education programs').
