Senate Agenda - EXHIBIT III - April 17, 1998
FOR APPROVAL
1. Implementation Date for Graduation with a BSc (Human Ecology)
Recommended: That the name change of the Home Economics program and degree to Human Ecology become effective immediately.
Background:
On February 11, 1998, SCAPA approved a proposal to change the name of the Home Economics program offered at Brescia College to Human Ecology, and the concommitant change in the degree of Bachelor of Science (Home Economics) to Bachelor of Science (Human Ecology). The proposal was subsequently approved by Senate. The change was to become effective September 1, 1998.
There is considerable student interest in having the name change reflected in degrees awarded at June 1998 convocation. Students lobbied determinedly over many years for the name change and were elated when the proposal was approved. Many were disappointed that the change would not be immediate, and a large number are exploring ways to delay graduation until October so that they will receive a BSc(Human Ecology).
Given the fact that the name change has been approved, it would be a friendly gesture to advance the date of implementation so that this cohort of students could graduate on schedule with the degree designation for which they have repeatedly petitioned.
2. BA (Honors Music) Program Combined with Programs in the Faculty of
Arts
Recommended: That, Combined Honors Programs between the Bachelor of Arts (Honors Music) and various honors programs be introduced in the Faculty of Arts.
NEW CALENDAR COPY
[To be inserted following "Graduation Requirements: Bachelor of Arts (Honors Music)" on page 105 of the 1998 Academic Calendar.]
COMBINED HONORS PROGRAMS WITH THE BACHELOR OF ARTS (HONORS MUSIC)
Approved Combinations:
Classical Studies, English, French, Comparative Literature and Civilization, Film, German, Russian, Spanish, Philosophy, Visual Arts. For special regulations regarding combined honors programs see the COMBINED HONORS PROGRAMS section of the calendar.
[To be added to the Combined Honors Programs section of the calendar (pp. 52-55)]
MUSIC (BA program only)
Approved Combinations:
Classical Studies, English, Film, French, Comparative Literature and Civilization, German, Russian,
Spanish, Philosophy, Visual Arts.
First Year
Music 014, 021a/b, 026E, 049a, 050b, 055a/b, 075a/b
Second Year
Music 226E, 249a, 250b, 255a/b, 275a/b
Third and Fourth Years
Four full senior electives from Music Theory, Composition, or Music History
Background:
The BA (Honors Music) degree has been offered by the Faculty of Music for at least four decades, and did in fact exist long before the Bachelor of Music degree. It has always stood apart from the "standard" BA in the faculties of Arts and Social Science: there has always been a very high proportion of Music subjects, and the first-year regulations for the "standard" BA have never been strictly applied to this program.
The BA (Honors Music) currently requires 21 full courses: 10.5 Music courses, 6 non-music courses; 4.5 Music or non-music courses
If a student decides to pursue a double honors program up to half the courses could be taken from an area other than music. This is more than enough to satisfy the requirements for double honors programs.
The double honors programs only apply to students registered in the Faculty of Music.
3. Alternate Route for Admission to the HBA Program: Academic Excellence
Program (AEP)
Recommended: That the Academic Excellence Program (AEP) be introduced in the Richard Ivey School of Business, as outlined below.
REVISED CALENDAR COPY
ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE PROGRAM
The Academic Excellence Program (AEP) offers pre-admission to the Ivey Business School to outstanding students from secondary school. Applicants for the AEP are assessed on their academic record, extracurricular activities, achievements, and leadership skills. Applications are carefully reviewed and decisions are made on the basis of all data available and not solely on prior academic performance. Enrolment in this program is limited.
All applicants must meet the admission requirements to Year 1 of The University of 澳门六合彩开奖预测 Ontario. Pre-admission to the AEP does not imply admission to Year 1 at UWO. Applicants are notified separately from the Registrar's Office concerning their admission to first year.
Students interested in the AEP indicate 澳门六合彩开奖预测 on the Ontario Universities' Application Centre (OUAC) form as well as apply separately to the Richard Ivey School of Business by the application deadline of February 1.
In order to be considered for admission, AEP applicants must possess at minimum:
a) Senior Matriculation with a minimum average of 90% including a credit in OAC
mathematics or equivalent, or standing in the top 5% of the graduating class; CEGEP students may apply
during their first year of studies only;
b) proven leadership skills as shown in performing arts, sports, student government or
community service, and;
c) a letter of recommendation from the Principal or Head of Student Services.
STEPS FOR ADMISSION TO HBA
1. OAC or Senior Matriculation
2. Pre-admission from Secondary School to AEP
3. Years 1 and 2 at UWO in any program in any faculty. Students must maintain an 80%
average on ten full courses (5.0 courses each year), with no less than 70% in Business 257 and have
successfully completed an OAC mathematics course, or equivalent
4. Students must continue participation in extracurricular activities at a level judged
satisfactory by the HBA Admissions Committee.
5. Entry into the HBA1 year
Deadline date for applications to AEP: February 1
Background:
In the early 1990's, concern had been voiced regarding the declining number of applications to the Honors Program in Business Administration (HBA). Applications had dropped to a low of 343 in 1993 from a high of 514 in 1987. Students perceived applying for admission to our HBA program beginning in third year of university as too risky and competitive. Admission could be obtained instead at a lower perceived risk at other universities' business or commerce programs which start in Years 1 or 2. As a result, the Academic Excellence Program (AEP) was conceived to minimize this risk for highly qualified secondary school students wishing to enroll at Ivey.
The AEP began as a small pilot project during the 1995-96 academic year. It has been enthusiastically received by guidance counsellors throughout Canada and abroad. Interest in the AEP has almost doubled each year with 62 applications in 1996, 126 in 1997 and 226 in 1998. This year applications have been received from Hong Kong, Japan, Kenya, Pakistan, Switzerland, Trinidad and the USA in addition to Canada.
The AEP provides both UWO and Ivey with outstanding students who might otherwise have chosen to study elsewhere.
Recommended: That Senate approve the introduction of Affiliated College courses not offered on Main Campus, as listed in Appendix 1.
Background:
The courses listed in Appendix 1 have all been submitted to DAP (Deans: Academic Programs or "Virtual Committee process") and approved. However, as stated in recent SCAPA Reports to Senate, during the recent review of the DAP approval process it has been determined that courses offered by an Affiliated College but not by the Constituent University require Senate approval. Approval of the attached list of courses by Senate will bring the correct course approval process up to date.
As noted at the March meeting of Senate, the Affiliation Agreement is currently under review and it is expected that revisions will be forwarded to a future meeting of Senate for approval.
5. Graduation "With Distinction"
Recommended: That the policy on Graduation "With Distinction" be revised to read as shown below, effective September 1, 1998, and, that the policy on Graduation "With Distinction" for Part-Time Students (S.96-201) be rescinded as a result.
Graduation "With Distinction"
Students in degree programs who have achieved an overall average of 80% and no grade lower than 70% on the entire program with no failed courses will graduate "with distinction".
Exceptions:
Graduands of diploma or certificate programs offered by 澳门六合彩开奖预测 who have achieved an overall average of 80% and no grade lower than 70% on the entire program with no failed courses will receive the designation "With Distinction".
Notes:
Part-Time Students: Graduands of fifteen-course programs must have taken at least nine courses at 澳门六合彩开奖预测 and graduands of twenty-course programs must have taken at least twelve courses at 澳门六合彩开奖预测, including the final five courses of the program.
Letters of Permission: For purposes of calculation, alpha grades received on a letter of permission will be converted to grade points in accordance with current Senate policy. A student will be considered to have an "A" average if the equivalent grade point average is 4.0 or greater. Averaging for Letter of Permission courses and for courses taken at 澳门六合彩开奖预测 will be done separately.
Joint Three-Year BSc Physics Degree Combined with Fanshawe College Diploma in Control Engineering or Electronics Engineering Technology: Students will graduate with distinction if they meet the following criteria: 1) an average of 80% in the 10 courses taken at 澳门六合彩开奖预测; b) a full course load of five courses per academic year taken at 澳门六合彩开奖预测 between September and April; c) a cumulative g.p.a. of 3.2 in the courses taken at Fanshawe College; and 4) no failures in any courses at either 澳门六合彩开奖预测 or Fanshawe, even if the course is subsequently repeated successfully.
No Appeals: Since the designation "With Distinction" is conferred only when a student has achieved a certain average, a failure to achieve graduation "With Distinction" may not be appealed (although the grades on which the designation is based may be appealed in the normal way. See Section on Academic Rights and Responsibilities.)
Background:
The Policy on Graduation "With Distinction" has been under review by SCAPA since September. Consultation has included a number of requests for comment from the faculties both by SCAPA and by an ad hoc Subcommittee created in late 1997.
The review was the result of concerns raised as to whether the policy should be revised in order to accommodate differing patterns of enrolment, e.g., students with high averages who do not strictly fit into a part-time or full-time category. Throughout the responses there are questions raised about whether or not it is equitable or reasonable to assume that a student who receives a grade of 80 when taking only one course is in a different situation than a student who takes five courses in a twelve month period and achieves a standard of A in those courses. However, one reason for this proposal is to acknowledge that the circumstances of many students have changed dramatically. A large number of both full-time and part-time students who are doing less than a full course load are working in order to finance their education or have family responsibilities or illness. For example, a student who is required to drop to 4.5 or 4.0 courses in a session cannot graduate with distinction even though they may have a distinguished academic record.
SCAPA agreed that the Policy on Graduation "With Distinction" should be disengaged from the Dean's Honor List to give faculties greater freedom in dealing with the Dean's Honor List. There should be a university-wide standard to graduate with distinction, e.g., an 80% average in the courses needed to graduate which would appear on the transcript automatically. The individual faculties would then be encouraged to set their own standards for the Dean's Honor List rather than SCAPA trying to set the standards.
6. Dean's Honor List (S.95-295)
Recommended: That the policy on Dean's Honor List be revised to read as shown below, effective September 1, 1999.
Dean's Honor List
Undergraduate students with outstanding academic records are named to the Dean's Honor List. In May of each year the Dean of each Faculty establishes an Honor List containing the names of all students registered in that Faculty whose average mark, for all courses completed in the previous 12 months, May 1 to April 30, is 80% or more with no failed courses. (For any course completed on a letter of permission in this period the mark must be "A".)
Concurrent Degree Students who are registered in an approved program of full-time studies leading to two undergraduate degrees will be adjudicated for the Dean's Honor List of each Faculty provided that at least 3.5 courses of the year's work have been approved for credit towards the particular degree.
The statement above applies to undergraduate students in the Faculties of Arts, Education, Health Sciences, Information and Media Studies, Medicine & Dentistry, Music, Science and Social Science, and at Brescia, Huron and King's Colleges.
For other undergraduate faculties and schools:
Students in the combined LLB/MBA Program are considered for the Dean's Honor List at the Faculty of Law during their first year of Law and for the Dean's Honor List at the Business School during their first year of MBA courses. In each of the third and fourth years of the program, students are considered for the Dean's Honor List at the Faculty of Law on the basis of the courses taken at the Faculty of Law in each particular year. In the fourth year, students are also considered for the Dean's Honor List at the Business School on the basis of the Business courses taken during the last two years.
Only the grades earned in courses taken at the Faculty of Law in a particular year (provided those courses total at least 14 credit hours) are used to calculate a student's standing for an overall achievement award in that year. Students who attend the Faculty of Law on a letter of permission from another law school are not considered for the Dean's Honor List or an overall achievement award in that year.
Background:
As stated in the previous item, SCAPA agreed that the Policy on Graduation "With Distinction" should be disengaged from the Dean's Honor List to give faculties greater freedom in dealing with the Dean's Honor List. The individual faculties would then be encouraged to set their own standards for the Dean's Honor List rather than SCAPA trying to set the standards.
Regarding the implementation date, it was the view of both SCAPA and its ad hoc Subcommittee that the revised policy not be retroactive. An effective date of September 1998 was suggested, however, discussion at the April meeting of SCAPA revealed the difficulties of trying to implement the policy at the time when the Registrar's Office was undergoing a changeover in computer systems. Implementation of the policy prior to September 1999 would be nearly impossible.
Recommended: That, effective September 1, 1998, a joint program in Physics and Electronics be established between The University of 澳门六合彩开奖预测 Ontario and Fanshawe College, leading to a Three-Year BSc Degree in Physics and a Diploma in Electronics Engineering Technology or Control Engineering Technology and, with one additional semester of study, a second diploma in Electrical Engineering Technology, as outlined below.
REVISED CALENDAR COPY
[Page 125 of the 1998 Academic Calendar.]
The Department of Physics and Astronomy provides a program leading to a 3-year BSc degree in Physics and a joint program with Fanshawe College that leads to a 3-year BSc in Physics plus a diploma in either Electronics Engineering Technology or Control Engineering Technology. It offers programs leading to 4-year BSc degrees in Honors Astronomy and in Honors Physics. It also participates in joint programs leading to 4-year BSc degrees in Honors Astronomy and Geophysics (Planetary Science), Honors Physics and Geophysics (Atmospheric Physics), and Honors Physics with Computer Science Minor....
NEW CALENDAR COPY
[To follow the Three-Year BSc Program on page 126 of the 1998 Academic Calendar]
JOINT THREE-YEAR BSc PHYSICS (UWO) AND DIPLOMA IN ELECTRONICS ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY OR CONTROL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY (FANSHAWE COLLEGE)
Students in this program will study Physics for their first two years. They will then transfer to Fanshawe College, where they will study for a further two years and three months in either Electronics Engineering Technology, or Control Engineering Technology. Students in both programs work for a total of sixteen months in CO-OP placements. Successful candidates will be awarded a Three-Year BSc in Physics, and a Diploma from Fanshawe College. Students may also choose to study for one additional semester in the Electrical Engineering Technology program and will be granted a second Diploma from Fanshawe College.
Admission Requirements

1.5 options numbered 100 or higher.
Note: options that will be particularly useful in this program include courses in Applied Mathematics, Business, Chemistry, Economics, Mathematics and Statistics. Students should take a half-course in linear algebra before the end of their second year. Applied Mathematics 275, 276 and 277 all have Applied Mathematics 025a/b and 026 as prerequisites. Students transferring from Engineering will have to include Computer Science 027a/b in their second year. Students should consult a counsellor in the appropriate department before selecting their options.
Second Year Summer Term
Students will transfer in May to Fanshawe College to complete Level Three of the common first year of the Electronics and Control Engineering programs. They will spend the next eight months as CO-OP students in industry. At the end of this experience, students must choose to study either Electronics Engineering or Control Engineering.
Registration
In Years One and Two, students will register and pay fees at The University of 澳门六合彩开奖预测 Ontario. For Levels Three to Six, students will register and pay fees at Fanshawe College.
In this table [not included in the World Wide Web version], the number of courses is as given in the respective calendars.
To qualify for the Three -Year BSc in Physics, students in this program must:
a. obtain a minimum overall average of 60% in ten courses taken at UWO.
b. obtain a minimum overall average of 60% in the Area of Concentration courses listed and
taken at UWO.
c. take a minimum of 5.0 full courses or equivalent numbered 100 or higher at UWO.
d. meet the requirements for the Diploma in either Electronics Engineering Technology or

the BSc degree at UWO.
Descriptions of the courses to be taken at Fanshawe are available from:
Fanshawe College tel.: (519) 452-4277; World Wide Web: www.fanshawec.on.ca
NEW CALENDAR COPY
[To follow Physics 226b on page 227 of the 1998 Academic Calendar]
Physics 227a/b: Special Topics in Electronics
Printed circuit design and construction.
3 lab hours at Fanshawe College in four designated weeks.
Non-credit.
This course is restricted to students registered in the Three-Year BSc Physics program.
Background:
Dr. Davenport, President of The University of 澳门六合彩开奖预测 Ontario has stated that one of his priorities for 1997-1998 is "strengthening our academic ties with Fanshawe College and with universities and colleges across Ontario". (澳门六合彩开奖预测 News, September 4, 1997, page 8)
Dr. Kang, Dean of the Faculty of Science at 澳门六合彩开奖预测, charged the Task Force on New Science Programming "To consider the feasibility of working out some collaboration with Fanshawe College". In its report, the Task Force recommended that "澳门六合彩开奖预测 hold discussions with Fanshawe College to identify programs in which students from 3rd year can transfer into a much-shortened program leading to a diploma in one year or so" (Page 11). The Task Force noted further that "In a recent survey of graduates, the Three-Year BSc degree was ranked last in overall satisfaction in the University". (Page 10)
The Faculty of Science believes that this program will provide a valuable option for students who do not wish to study as professional physicists. Graduates from these programs at Fanshawe College are all able to find employment in their field, many being employed by the companies they work for during their 16 months of CO-OP placements.
There are currently a number of students in these diploma programs at Fanshawe who have Three Year BSc Degrees in Physics from 澳门六合彩开奖预测, Waterloo and Guelph. In the international marketplace, students who have both a degree and a diploma will have much better long term career prospects than those who have only a diploma. Diplomas from an Ontario Community College seem to lose value as soon as the recipient leaves Canada. The CAAT diploma is not recognized in the USA even though the 3-year technology programs from Ontario exceed the academic levels of "Associate Degrees" granted in equivalent colleges in the U.S. The "degree" is internationally recognized. The combination of a Physics degree combined with the Three-Year Electronics Technology Diploma will provide many graduates with recognized credentials, enabling them to export themselves internationally.
From a domestic stand point, this degree/diploma combination offers much to prospective employers. This combination is a clear indication of both a sound theoretical and applied education in preparation for future careers.
Regarding the introduction of Physics 277a/b, before students from 澳门六合彩开奖预测 can enter Level Three at Fanshawe, they must become familiar with the design and construction of printed circuit boards, topics which are covered in Levels One and Two at Fanshawe, but not at 澳门六合彩开奖预测. This will take about a week of work at Fanshawe, which can normally be done in the week before classes start. In some years, the third year at Fanshawe College starts immediately after the final examination period at 澳门六合彩开奖预测. These students will have to spend a few afternoons at Fanshawe during the winter term of year two to learn these skills. The purpose of the course is simply to reserve an afternoon in the timetable so that the students can travel to Fanshawe for this program. In 1998-99 for example, there is more than a week between the end of 澳门六合彩开奖预测's examination period and the start of the program at Fanshawe, and students can use this time to fill these gaps in their knowledge, so that this course will not be offered in this year. Since it is important that students learn a little about Fanshawe College during their second year at 澳门六合彩开奖预测, the Faculty of Science will arrange a visit to Fanshawe during the Winter term, whether or not Physics 277a/b is being offered.
A policy on Graduation "With Distinction" is included in item 5 of this report.
