A\ncommittee to review the affiliation had been established in November 1976.\nMrs. Field presented the report.\nThe committee had considered the report of the previous committee on the\naffiliation of Regent College and had consulted the Board of Governors of Regent\nCollege. The committee used information provided by Regent College to assess 6754.\nWednesday, February 16, 1977.\nReports of Committees of Senate\nCommittee on Regent College Affiliation (continued)\nthe request for affiliation in light of the nine criteria which Senate adopted in\n1958. (See Appendix 'C')\nIt was the opinion of the committee that Regent College continued to meet\ncriteria 2, 4, 6, 7, 8 and 9. It was stated in the report that when the list of\ncriteria was developed in 1958 the only experience of requests for affiliation of\ntheological colleges came from denominational colleges whose prime concern was\nto prepare candidates for ordination. Criterion 1 of the Senate accordingly\nrequired that a college seeking affiliation \"should be in good standing with\nrespect to a recognized constituency of churches\" . The committee did not believe\nthat the criterion was appropriate to Regent College which from the outset had\nbeen transdenominational and had been concerned with theological education\nfor lay persons and specifically did not seek to prepare candidates for ordination.\nIt was stated that Regent College attracted students from many denominations and\nreceived financial support primarily from individual contributors. It was also\nstated that Criterion 3 was satisfied as the college now had nine full-time qualified\nfaculty members. Criterion 5, however, could not be met. Regent College had\naimed for high academic standards but the Association of Theological Schools had\nnot evaluated the quality of its academic program because the college did not\nprepare candidates for ordination which was one of the requirements for\naccreditation by the Association.\nThe committee unanimously recommended that (1) the request of Regent\nCollege for continued affiliation with the University be granted; and (2) the 6755.\nWednesday, February 16, 1977.\nReports of Committees of Senate\nCommittee on Regent College Affiliation (continued)\naffiliation of theological colleges with a representative on the Senate of the\nUniversity be subject to review every five years.\nRecommendation 1\nMrs. Field ) That the request of Regent College for\nDr. Clark ) continued affiliation with the University\nbe granted.\nDr. Pearse stated that since the institution did not meet all the criteria for\naffiliation the report should be tabled until the criteria could be reviewed by a\nSenate committee.\nDr. Pearse ) That the report be tabled until a committee\nMrs. Angus ) of Senate can be struck to review the criteria\nfor affiliation with the University.\nLost\nFollowing further discussion the motion was put and carried.\nRecommendation 2\nMrs. Field ) That the affiliation of theological colleges with\nDr. Clark ) a representative on the Senate of the University\nbe subject to review every five years.\nIt was suggested that the criteria for affiliation should be reviewed before a\ndecision was made on the question of five-year reviews.\nDr. Finnegan ) That a committee be established to examine the\nDr. Pearse ) criteria for the affiliation of theological colleges\nand to consider the desirability of having\nreviews of affiliations every five years.\nThe motion to refer Recommendation 2 to a new committee which would also\nexamine the existing criteria was put and carried. 6756.\nWednesday, February 16, 1977.\nReports of Committees of Senate (continued)\nAdmissions Committee\nDefinition of Auditors\nThe following statement defining \"Auditors\" had been circulated:-\n\"An auditor is defined as a student registered in a credit course whose\nparticipation is limited to that deemed appropriate by the instructor\nbut who, in general, is expected to maintain the same schedule of\nreadings as regular students although not expected to write examinations.\nAn auditor may not transfer to the category of regular student during\nthe term except upon the recommendation of the Dean of the Faculty\nconcerned.\nApplication for admission as an auditor must parallel the procedures\nfor the application of regular students. The application for admission\nmust be accompanied by a written explanation of the reason that status\nas an auditor is being sought. Where an applicant has not met formal\nrequirements for admission to the University, or to the course involved,\na full statement of previous relevant activities must be submitted with\nthe application in order that consideration can be given for special\nadmission in the category \"mature\".\nOnce formal application has been made the decision on acceptance or\notherwise will be made by the Dean of the Faculty concerned or his\ndelegate.\nThe fees for auditors will be the same as those for regular students.\nThere will be a statement of \"audit\" on the permanent academic record\nfor any course taken by a student as an auditor. Students taking a\ncombination of credit and audit courses will be subject to restrictions\non maximum work load imposed by the Faculties as interpreted by\nFaculty advisers.\"\nDr. Finnegan ) That the statement defining \"Auditors\" be\nRev. Burns ) approved.\nCarried\nB.C. College/University Transfer Guidelines\nDr. Finnegan explained that the Admissions Committee had examined\nproposals from the B.C. Post-Secondary Coordinating Committee concerning 6757.\nWednesday, February 16, 1977.\nReports of Committees of Senate\nAdmissions Committee\nB.C. College/University Transfer Guidelines (continued)\nCollege/University transfer guidelines. The Admissions Committee had\nmade some minor amendments and recommended adoption of the following\nguidelines: -\n1. Discussions concerning transfer of credit for individual courses or\nprograms of study at public colleges and universities in British Columbia\nshould, in general, be initiated with the relevant Articulation Committees,\nso that questions of suitability of course content, adequacy of supporting\nfacilities and related matters, may be discussed at an early stage of\nnegotiations between institutions.\nTo this end both colleges and universities should be prepared to provide\none another with the following information: course name, course number,\nhours per week (lecture, lab, seminar), objective of course, outline of\ntopics covered, texts and required readings: and, although subject to\nchange without notice, the initial proposals for method of instruction,\nmethod of evaluation, and the names and qualifications of instructors.\nA standard form might be used by all colleges and universities to exchange\nthis information.\n2. The final decision on the awarding of transfer credit rests with the\nCollege Council or University Senate concerned.\n3. A college or university which denies the transfer of credit requested\nby another institution shall state the reasons for this refusal.\n4. Agreements on transfer credit must be made between specified authorities\nin the respective institutions, in order that contracts once made would be\nduly recorded and recognized.\n5. Once an agreement has been reached on the conditions of credit transfer\nof an individual course or program of study, it shall not be abrogated\nwithout prior notification to the specified authorities in the institutions\naffected, and the relevant Articulation Committee.\n6. A university planning changes to its curriculum which will affect the\nrequirements for credit transfer must inform the members of the\nrelevant Articulation Committees as soon as possible, at least a year in\nadvance of its implementation, so that other institutions can consider the\ndesirability of alterations to their courses and programs. 6758.\nWednesday, February 16, 1977.\nReports of Committees of Senate\nAdmissions Committee\nB.C College/University Transfer Guidelines (continued)\n7. The colleges and universities have a responsibility to fulfil the\ncommitments in the course descriptions, and to notify the other\ninstitutions in the system should any major change in the course\ncontent or level occur.\n8. Institutions should consider transfer students on the same basis as their\ncontinuing students except that admission of college students to university\nshould normally be subject to a minimum overall average of \"C\". Colleges\nmust accept the responsibi I ity of ensuring that \"C\" represents an acceptable\nlevel of achievement relative to further studies; maintenance of relative\nstandards should be one of the concerns of the Articulation Committees.\nNotwithstanding this general provision, a university while recognizing\nthe right of a college student to transfer, may require a higher level of\nachievement on transfer to match the level required of its own students\nfor admission to programs of study to which access is subject to limitations.\nUniversities must make provision, whilst maintaining confidentiality of\nthe records of individual students, for reporting the progress of transfer\nstudents to the colleges from which they had transferred.\n9. Transfer arrangements between colleges and universities are assumed\nto be based on \"lower division\" (i.e. first and second year) studies. It\nis recognized that the assignment of \"year level\" to any individual course\nmight vary at different institutions, and therefore, specific exceptions\nto this rule might occur under inter-institutional agreements.\n10. Transfer of credit would be identified in the following categories by the\nuniversities:\n(i) specific equivalent of a given course\n(ii) unspecified (elective) credit in a discipline or department\n(iii) unspecified (elective) credit in a Faculty\n(iv) unspecified (elective) credit up to 9 semester hours (4.5\nunits) for academic college courses not identifiable with specific\nuniversity course offerings but which the colleges evaluate as\nbeing appropriate for academic credit on transfer.\n11. Provision should be made for a forum (such as the Post-Secondary\nCoordinating Committee) where questions of transfer of students among\ninstitutions in British Columbia can be discussed by representatives of\nall the public colleges and universities of the Province and where, if\nnecessary, recommendations can be formulated for submission to College\nCouncils and University Senates. 6759.\nWednesday, February 16, 1977.\nReports of Committees of Senate\nAdmissions Committee\nB.C. College/University Transfer Guidelines (continued)\nProcedure Manual\n1. Colleges seeking transfer credit for new or revised courses shall make\na formal submission to the relevant university official with copies or\nabridged statements to the chairmen of the pertinent Articulation\nCommittee(s) . However, it would be desirable for all proposals to have\nhad preliminary screening in the Articulation Committees prior to their\nformal submission. Although submissions may be made at any time, each\nuniversity will establish a deadline in terms of inclusion of proposals\nin its published list of college-university course equivalencies.\n2. Information should be provided as in Guideline 1.\n3. The responsible university official who receives a proposal will be\nexpected to respond as promptly as reasonable to the initiating college\nwith a copy to the office at the university that is responsible for the\npublication of a list of course equivalencies which shall inform the\nchairman of the relevant Articulation Committee (s).\nDr. Finnegan ) That the British Columbia College/University\nDr. Clark ) Credit Transfer Guidelines be adopted.\nCarried\nEnglish Placement Test\nThe Admissions Committee recommended that the results of the English\nPlacement Test be required of all students entering First Year in 1977 and\nin 1978.\nIt was explained that the Ministry of Education was sponsoring, for\na two-year trial period, an English Placement Test for students seeking\nadmission to the First Year of university or college.

Burns ) in 1978 be required to submit results of the\nEnglish Placement Test before being permitted\nto enrol in courses.\nRev. Burns, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Standards in\nEnglish, reminded members that in November 1975 Senate passed a resolution\nwhereby a diagnostic essay test would be administered to students who had\nnot been recommended as being competent in written English. However,\nfunds to administer the test had not been available. The committee therefore\nfelt that since the Ministry of Education was sponsoring an English Placement\nTest it would be an excellent opportunity to attempt to administer the original\npolicy.\nIn reply to a query it was confirmed that arrangements would be made\nto administer the test on campus for those students who had not taken it in\nhigh school.\nFollowing further discussion the motion was put and carried.\nReport of the Librarian 1975-76\nThe report had been circulated for information.

In the case of the other request the committee\nfelt that the letter contained a misrepresentation of the facts and therefore it would\nbe better to refer the whole matter to the Committee on the Implementation of the\nUniversities Act.\nDr. McGregor ) That the requests for recounts in the recent\nMr. Osborne ) elections for student representatives on the\nBoard of Governors and on Senate be referred\nto the Committee on the Implementation of the\nUniversities Act for consideration and\nrecommendation to Senate.\nFollowing further discussion the motion to refer was put and carried.\nOther business\nDisruption of lectures\nMr. Funt referred to the disruption of lectures given on campus by a visiting\nprofessor last fall and to the motion passed by Senate at that time requesting the\nadministration to explore procedures for the prevention of future occurrences.\nMr. Funt said he understood that dismissal proceedings were under way for some\nof the participants in the disruptions and he expressed concern that the motion\npassed by Senate in November 1976 was being used as justification for such\ndismissals.\nMr. Moore stated that as a member of the committee established to explore\nprocedures for the prevention of disruptions of lectures on campus he would like\nto assure Senate the the committee was not involved in dismissal activities. 6764.\nWednesday, February 16, 1977.\nOther business (continued)\nSenate meeting\nThe Chairman expressed thanks and appreciation to members of the Student\nRepresentative Assembly for their invitation to hold the meeting in their chambers.\nReport of the Tributes Committee\nDr. Stager presented the report.

The College should be in good standing with respect to a recognized\nconstituency of churches.\n2. It should be the policy of the College to appoint to its regular teaching staff\nonly people who have at least the minimum standard of training normally\nrequired in university work, i.e. university education to the Bachelor's\ndegree, followed by further study, preferably leading to another degree,\nin the field of specialization. For theological colleges this will normally be\nin the field of theological studies.\n3. The School should have at least four full-time properly qualified professors\ngiving their time to the work of post-college theological education, the degree\nof this service to be calculated independently of the contribution of part-time\nmembers of the Faculty.\n4. It should be the policy of the College to operate predominantly at a\npost-university level, i.e. it should normally require university graduation\nas a prerequisite for admission to its regular courses of training in theology.\nThough the College would have the right to admit some students to its regular\ncourses in theology without previous university training these should not\nordinarily constitute a majority of the student body. In special cases where\nthe student is mature, students may be admitted without University graduation,\nbut Senior Matriculation should be required as a minimum.\n5. The courses of training given in theology should be designed to be of a\nstandard which would be acceptable in the American Association of Theological\nSchools, though without any obligation on the College to become a member of\nthis Association.\n6. The College should have a sufficient degree of separateness and independence\nfrom any other institutions: (a) to identify its assets and its expenditures;\n(b) to mark its specific functions as theological college; (c) to give it a\ngoverning body of its own.\n7. It should have authority from the Government of the Province of British\nColumbia to grant degrees in theology.\n8. It should be the policy of the College to maintain library resources adequate\nto the courses which it offers.\n9. The College should be able to present evidence of its ability to conduct a\nstrong educational program, and of having sufficient stability and permanence\nto maintain it."@en . "Periodicals"@en .
