Date: 27 May 2009 To: S Weild, Assistant Registrar, Academic Policy Services and Ceremonies From: R Kleer, Associate Dean (Undergraduate) Re: Report from Faculty of Arts Council to the Council Committee on Undergraduate Admission and

Studies

I ITEMS FOR APPROVAL The Faculty of Arts recommends approval of the following motions. A. Intercultural Leadership Program MOTION to revise the Certificate in Intercultural Leadership as outlined below. 10.24 INTERCULTURAL LEADERSHIP PROGRAM (FIRST NATIONS UNIVERSITY OF CANADA) 10.24.2 ADMISSION TO THE INTERCULTURAL LEADERSHIP PROGRAM Students must apply for admission to the Intercultural Leadership Program. Selection will be based on their potential to develop into leaders in an intercultural context, their commitment to leadership development and life-long learning, and their communication skills. Details and deadlines can be found at: http://www.firstnationsuniversity.ca. Look under Departments and Schools.

Students should check printed or web listings and/or consult with the Intercultural Leadership Coordinator to determine if other Selected Topics courses are approved electives.

10.24.4 WORK EXPERIENCE Some form of work experience will be required of all students. The work experience will have to be pre-approved, and entail at least 100 hours of relevant work experience plus a pass/fail paper marked by the coordinator.

This work experience could be gained through a Co-op semester (1 credit hour in Arts, 0 elsewhere), the Work Experience Internship Program (3 credit hours), the First Nations University Aboriginal Youth Program (0 credit hours), various other internships (some with credit, some without), or some form of volunteer work in a First Nations community (which may be covered under the Work Experience Internship Program).

If a student has relevant prior work experience, they may petition the coordinator for substitution of another course. Such a submission would have to be in the form of a brief essay explaining why the work experience was relevant to the leadership program.

If the work experience does not carry at least 3 credit hours, the coordinator will suggest approved substitutions of courses to ensure students finish with 30 credit hours.

Rationale 10.24 Intercultural Leadership The ILP is delivered in partnership between FNUniv and University of Regina. Identifying it as First Nations University does not honour this partnership. Further, some U of R students still assume that they cannot take FNUniv courses which, of course, is not true. However this misconception is limiting the interest of U of R students, particularly international student who have a wealth of knowledge to contribute as students in ILP. 10.24.2 Admission to the Intercultural Leadership Program We propose the elimination of the admission process, which was severely limiting the number of students entering the program. The ILP gives all students an opportunity to begin to evaluate and develop their leadership competencies. Students can be introduced to strategies for leadership development by taking the ILP 100 course, which can also be used as an open elective in other arts programs. They can base their decision to complete the entire ILP certificate on their personal and professional goals. Leadership capacity is present in all students; however, they may not identify themselves as leaders because they have not been elected or selected for leadership in their past. The Intercultural Leadership Program course introduces students to the variety of leadership models, styles, competencies and opportunities. 10.24.3 Certificate in Intercultural Leadership The 3-credit-hour “Work experience at an approved host organization or relevant prior experience. See below” had no class attached to it, so students had nothing to register in to complete this requirement. We created a pilot class ILP 391 to address this issue; it has been offered twice. We propose to formalize ILP 391 as a regular course offering. We propose adding a 3-hour lab component to ILP 100, 300 and 400. This will accommodate the need to have students make a time commitment for one evening every week to participate in a cross-cultural facilitation. These facilitations have become a highlight of the Intercultural Leadership Program. Students work in groups to research another culture, interview representatives from that cultural community, brief the other students in a group presentation on the history, culture, leadership issues and cultural protocols of that group, and then facilitate a class visit to the community centre of the group we are learning about, for a presentation by members of that community. This assignment requires group work, presentation skills and cross-cultural facilitation skills. In past semesters we have visited a mosque; a Hare Krisna temple; a Hutterite colony; Ethiopian, Mexican, Indian (Bahai) and Afgan restaurants (there are no community centres); and Ukrainian and Chinese community centres, to name a few. In running ILP 391, we realized that there was no structured requirement for students to share their internship experiences. Thus, we propose the creation of a new course ILP 390, which will have to be taken concurrently with ILP 391. As proposed, ILP 390 is a seminar class with an emphasis on presentation skills. It will give interning students an opportunity to reflect on their internships, develop presentations that focus on their leadership competencies, and practice their public speaking. The approved electives requirement is impossible to rationalize. This list of approved electives currently in the calendar under 10.24.3.1 (a section which we propose to eliminate) has no rationale, including as it does classes from such a variety of disciplines with no discernible points of commonality. We entertained the idea of changing it to electives that require students to select courses that are outside their own culture; but, when we tested this criterion with real live students, we realized that in order to ensure that they were taking classes outside their own culture, we would have to require them to reveal information about their religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, even gender, which is information we cannot compel them to disclose, under human rights legislation. We are confident that the “intercultural” training and experience for this program can be provided in the ILP courses, and the students and the program will benefit from having students from as diverse personal, professional and academic backgrounds as we can attract.

Page 4

INDG 100 is being added as a program requirement because it has become apparent to us through meetings with the advisory council that there is an expectation that students graduating from ILP will have at least an introductory knowledge of First Nations history, politics, economics and culture, which are covered in INDG 100. 10:24.4 Work Experience See rationale for 10.24.3 MOTION to create a minor in Intercultural Leadership. 10.24.3 MINOR IN INTERCULTURAL LEADERSHIP

Rationale Through the curriculum review process, two courses were added to the major, with the understanding that the number of electives would be reduced accordingly. Unfortunately, the version approved did not reflect this understanding and the major was approved with a requirement exceeding 120 credit hours. The above proposal reflects the understanding in place at the time and brings the major requirements consistent with others in the Faculty of Arts.

Rationale In offering some “experimental” courses, the department became concerned that the previous requirements implied that they may not count towards a major or honours major. The above proposal makes clear that all such courses will apply toward majors offered by the department and so may both reassure students that these courses “count” and so facilitate enrolment into these courses. D. Department of Justice Studies MOTION to approve an articulation agreement between the SIAST Aboriginal Police Preparation program and the Faculty of Arts.

Articulation Agreement with

SIAST Aboriginal Police Preparation Program and University of Regina, Faculty of Arts BA (Justice Studies/Police Studies)

I Introduction and Framework The purpose of this agreement is to enable students from the Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Science and Technology (SIAST) Aboriginal Police Preparation Program (APP) to articulate with advanced credit standing into the University of Regina Bachelor of Arts (Justice Studies / Police Studies) degree. Graduates of this program, and their employers in municipal and federal policing agencies, have strongly expressed their desire for the option of students continuing on in a degree program. This agreement will help those students to meet their goals by transfer to the University of Regina. This agreement also meets the goals of the Faculty of Arts' recent planning document, "We Who Serve". That document recommended that the Faculty of Arts aim to increase student numbers by 20% over the next five years, especially by drawing on non-traditional sources, including transfer students from colleges. This agreement will also meet the specific planning goal of increasing the number of indigenous students within the Faculty, due to the high proportion of indigenous students in the Aboriginal Police Preparation Program. In addition, this agreement will help meet the Mission Statement of the Faculty with respect to serving the communities around us, and will contribute towards one of the five strategic themes of the University of Regina, the theme of social justice.

Page 11

Students successfully completing the Aboriginal Police Preparation Program at SIAST and meeting the conditions described in this agreement can transfer with appropriate block credit to the University of Regina. Once admitted, such students will be treated identically to other Faculty of Arts students, with full rights and responsibilities. Specifically, students will be expected to meet the academic progress requirements of the Faculty of Arts. This agreement will start with admissions for the Winter 2010 semester. • The agreement has no specified end date, but may be terminated by either party with one-year’s

notice. • It will be reviewed after 5 years by the parties to ensure that it is still meeting the needs of each party. • Either party can ask for re-negotiation of the terms at any time. • Each party must inform the other party of significant changes to courses or programs listed in this

agreement, and will give 6 months notice to the other party, if possible, for any such changes. • The contact person for SIAST will be the Dean of Community Services, and the contact person for

the Faculty of Arts at the University of Regina is the Associate Dean (Undergraduate). ___________________ ______________________ Dr. Richard Kleer, Dr. Judy Harrower, (Acting) Dean, Faculty of Arts Dean, Community Services University of Regina SIAST II Admission Requirements 1. Students who have successfully completed SIAST’s Aboriginal Police Preparation Program with an average of at least 68% (equivalent to 60% at the University of Regina), with no grade lower than 60% (equivalent to 50% at the University of Regina), and who meet the University of Regina’ required level of proficiency in the English language will be accepted into the Faculty of Arts at the University of Regina with 21credit hours of block transfer as outlined in Section III below. 2. The Faculty of Arts at the University of Regina will have the right of approval on final admission decisions for all students. 3. The curriculum for the program listed in Section III below will be modified as the programs at both the University of Regina and SIAST are updated. Each institution will inform the other institution of these changes in writing at least six months in advance (or as soon as practical if six months notice is not possible). For students who were accepted under the original requirements, every effort will be made to ensure that no, or minimal, departure from the original program will occur. 4. High school admissions standards are not relevant for students who have completed the Aboriginal Police Preparation program provided that on their application to the Faculty of Arts it is clear that they are, or were registered in the APP. If it is not clear, applicants may be required to provide their high school transcript as a basis of admission. Regardless, students will be responsible for successful completion of any high school prerequisites required for specific courses at the University of Regina. 5. Students wishing to transfer to other faculties or programs at the University of Regina must meet those faculties' or programs’ transfer requirements, which may differ from the admission requirements to the Faculty of Arts outlined here. A transfer credit evaluation made by the Faculty of Arts (Bachelor of Arts in Justice Studies / Police Studies) will be re-evaluated and may be adjusted by the new faculty/program if a student transfers. III Program Details: BA (Justice Studies) A) Block Transfer Credit (21 Credit Hours) The following transfer credit will be granted for the successful completion of SIAST’s Aboriginal Police Preparation Program.

II ITEMS FOR INFORMATION The Faculty of Arts approved the creation, revision and deletion of the following courses or programs and offers them for information. A. Courses Created 1. Department of Philosophy and Classics

PHIL 280 3:3-0

Philosophy Through Film An introduction to philosophy through an examination of philosophical issues as they occur in film and other visual media. *** Prerequisite: Philosophy 100 or 15 credit hours. ***

Rationale This course uniquely allows students who may have an interest in popular culture and fine art to explore that interest and at the same time discover the value of philosophical ideas, methods, and approaches to familiar questions and problems. Courses with a similar description are quite common in other philosophy programmes. Finally, this course has been offered three times experimentally and it has consistently maintained good enrolments, which signify considerable student interest in the topic.

PHIL 312 3:3-0 Aristotle’s Ethics I

An intensive reading of Aristotle’s writings in ethics, particularly the Nicomachean Ethics. ***Prerequisite: One 200-level PHIL course or permission of the Department Head. ***

PHIL 329 3:3-0 Kant’s Ethics I A study of the moral philosophy of Immanuel Kant and its impact from

the time of his contemporaries to the present. ***Prerequisite: One 200-level PHIL course or permission of the Department Head. ***

Rationale Immanuel Kant’s ethics is a central topic in moral philosophy. Kant is also one of the most influential thinkers in modern philosophy.

PHIL 336 3:3-0 Epistemology I

Epistemology is the study of the nature, sources and limits of knowledge. This course introduces students to the main topics in classical and contemporary epistemology: What is knowledge?, How may one acquire knowledge?, What are the scope and limitations of knowledge? *** Prerequisite: One 200-level course in Philosophy, or permission of Department Head. ***

Rationale Epistemology is a core subject in philosophy.

PHIL 337 3:3-0 Metaphysics I

Metaphysics is that part of philosophy which asks the most general questions about the fundamental nature of reality.

Page 15

The internship seminar provides students with the opportunity to demonstrate the ways in which their leadership is developing through their participation in their internship. Emphasis is on presentation skills. ***Corequisite: ILP 391 *** * Permission of the Program Coordinator is required to register.*

3. Department of Psychology

PSYC 373 3:3-0 Human Reasoning

Examines how people use, misuse, and fail to use available information in reasoning and decision-making with emphasis on theoretical, interdisciplinary approaches to understanding human reasoning and applications in everyday life. Discussion of contemporary issues will complement “hands-on” experience in designing and executing an empirical research study. *** Prerequisite: PSYC 204 and 270. PSYC 220 is recommended. ***

Rationale Human reasoning is an understudied branch of cognitive psychology in comparison to the more mainstream topics of memory, consciousness, and attention. Despite this, research in this area is of interest not only to psychology majors, but also to students in other areas such as business administration, economics, political science, journalism, and education. As such, the course has the potential to attract students from outside of psychology and Arts, while at the same time offering another senior elective for psychology majors to consider among their choices. Although there are a number of choices of senior elective courses for students interested in the social science areas of psychology, there are few options for students who interested in natural science areas. This course thus addresses this disparity in senior course offerings. 4. Department of Anthropology

ANTH 406 3:3-0 European Cultures After Socialism

This course explores ongoing socio-cultural and economic transformations in Eastern Europe after the demise of communist rule. Utilizing recent ethnographic accounts and documentary films, this course will examine such topics as post-socialist markets, consumption, political practices, popular culture, and changes in identity. *** Prerequisite: Any two 200-level courses from ANTH, HIST, PHIL, SOC, PSCI or WGST, at least one of which is ANTH 203 or ANTH 230 – 239, or permission of the department head. ***

Rationale This course is an advanced ethnographic area course that will engage students in seminar discussions. It formalizes ANTH 496AA, which was taught in Winter 2009. B. Courses Revised 1. Department of Geography

GEOG 100 3:3-0 World Regional Geography Introduction to Geography An introduction to the human and natural environments from a geographical perspective. The fundamental themes, of human and physical geography are examined by focusing upon global issues and regional patterns.

Rationale This change is sought to reflect more accurately the existing description of the course and its delivered content. 2. Women’s and Gender Studies Program

WGST 490 1-3:3-0 Directed Readings and Research - an AA-ZZ series Courses designed for individual majors. *** Prerequisite: WGST 2100 or permission of the coordinator ***

Rationale This makes the prerequisite consistent for all 400-level AA-ZZ courses.

Rationale and Background

The changes to the BAdmin and Dip Admin programs are at the request of the School of Business & Public Administration of the First Nations University of Canada. The following information entitled Proposed Changes to the First Nations University of Canada – Bachelor of Administration Program, Diploma of Administration and the associated Qualifying Programs, provides details of the proposal.

Proposed Changes to the First Nations University of Canada - Bachelor of Administration Program, Diploma of Administration and the associated Qualifying Programs

Date: March 10, 2009 This document outlines the proposed changes to the Bachelor of Administration and the Diploma of Administration programs (under the purview of the University of Regina). The changes outlined below reflect the ongoing efforts of the First Nations University of Canada’s School of Business to offer student focused programming for Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal students enrolled within the FNUniv School of Business and Public Administration (SBPA). The need for these changes extends from the revisions made to the program one year ago. After review of students comments, faculty concerns, discussion with the FNUniv Registrar Office and Student Success Office we discovered three issues that are addressed below. Changes that are deemed necessary are as follows: 1) Course changes to the B. Admin degree:

1.1) The removal of ADMN 400 from the core requirements of the B. ADMN program. 1.2) The revision of the requirement from the current ‘Seven ADMN electives’ to ‘Eight ADMN electives’.

2) Course changes to the B. ADMN Qualifying program:

2.1) MOVE INDG 100 from the ‘5 of’ category to the core requirements. REVISE ‘5 of’ category to ‘4 of’. 3) ADD the following to the Bachelor of Administration program:

‘Major Requirements Students graduating with the Bachelor of Administration may declare ONE major upon completion of the requirements of the Bachelor of Administration degree. Students not declaring a major will be awarded the Bachelor of Administration with no major declared. Major in Accounting Major in Finance Major in Human Resources Management Major in International Business Major in Marketing Major in Management’ Also add the course requirements for each major as displayed in the current calendar description of the Bachelor of Business Administration.

4) Changes to the Diploma of Administration to reflect the changes to the B ADMN program. 4.1) REVISE ‘Four BUS/ADMN electives’ to ‘Two BUS/ADMN electives’.

4.2) ADD ‘Two of: ADMN 225, ADMN 228, ADMN 261’. 4.3) ADD INDG 100 as stand-alone required course. 4.4) REVISE ‘Five open electives’ to ‘Four open electives’.

This restructuring is requested to be approved for the 2009-2010 academic calendar. 2 . R A T I O N A L E : The relationship between First Nation’s University of Canada (FNUniv) and the University of Regina (U of R) is founded upon partnership, cooperation and shared vision dating back to 1976. Recognizing the need for the development of an institution of higher learning that uniquely offers programs and services designed specifically to the educational requirements of Aboriginal peoples, the University of Regina entered into a historic agreement to help nurture and provide for the success of a very important and mutually beneficial mission: to help Aboriginal people deliver Aboriginal post secondary education on their own terms. For over 20 years, the spirit of understanding highlighted within the Federated Agreement has helped both universities to expand, achieve excellence and better serve the diverse needs of the people of Saskatchewan. First Nation’s University of Canada is one of three colleges federated with the University of Regina. All three colleges (including Campion and Luther) are administratively and financially independent from the U of R, responsible for hiring faculty and staff, required to develop their own courses and enroll their own students. In effect, the federated agreement both recognizes the need and provides the flexibility for independent colleges to create and maintain an intellectual, spiritual and educational community, while benefiting from access to a large university campus. The federated agreement maintains that courses taught within these colleges have credit equivalency with the main university, and thus academic conditions must be met through guidance and review by the University of Regina. Pre-qualifying programs offered by the University of Regina can be registered through enrolment in a federated college and students must meet all requirements for transfer and maintenance of enrolment in faculty programs while meeting graduation eligibility guidelines as set by the corresponding degree granting faculties. Within the federated agreement, First Nations University of Canada is capable of offering specialized training and vocational experiences within a community based environment that is both sensitive to the issues of Aboriginal peoples, and welcoming to non-aboriginal peoples. Curriculum and program development generated by the distinctive strengths and experiences of Aboriginal academics and researchers, provide a variety of certificate, diploma and degree programs offered through 10 accredited academic departments: the School of Business and Public Administration, National School of Dental Therapy, English, Indian Communication Arts, Indian Education, Indian Fine Arts, Indian Language, Literature and Linguistics, Indian Social Work, Indian Studies and Science. These programs are made possible by the resources made available through the federated agreement and through the support of a host of stakeholders, community support and government bodies. 2.1 The School of Business and Public Administration The First Nation’s University of Canada School of Business and Public Administration (SBPA) is mandated with the task of developing and delivering relevant and specialized curriculum in the field of management and business in a bicultural context. The changes to the B.ADMN program over the last year have allowed the SBPA to continue to meet its mandate. However, several more changes are now required in order to effectively line up the Bachelor of Administration, Diploma of Administration and their associated Qualifying Programs. Also, there has been considerable discussion between SBPA Faculty, and with students and the Office of the Registrar and Student Success Services in regards to the inability of the SBPA to offer Majors. The fact that the SBPA cannot offer Majors places the program at a considerable disadvantage. We continue to lose small numbers of students to the BBA program simply because of this program reality. While the numbers are not very high – the fact that any students transfers because of the Major is an issue considering the following:

1) The overall student body is very low therefore any transfer has a detrimental affect on the ability of the SBPA to justify the offering of courses that have low enrolments.

2) The fact that the SBPA cannot offer Majors places the SBPA and the U of R Faculty of Business in a competitive position. The SBPA has always considered this to be against the spirit of cooperation and partnership that should exist given the federated partnership as discussed above.

Therefore, the proposed changes as briefly outlined above – and provided in tabular form in the Appendices – will allow the SBPA to continue to provide a university education opportunity for its student body that is consistent with the overall economic

environment of both mainstream Canada and the economic and social realities of Aboriginal peoples and communities.

7. A list of approved courses is available from the Student Program Centre in the Faculty of Education. Rationale: Students entering pre-internship should have a good grounding in the core studies, early childhood, educational psychology and a language course. It has been the practice in the old program that students had to pass ECE 205, ELNG 205, EPSY 205 and EPS 100 in order to proceed to pre-internship, but it has not been stated in our policy. This amendment would clarify the requirements for pre-internship.

MOTION #4 Move that the language requirement for the Middle Years Program be changed from Cree, Dene, French or another indigenous language to a modern language with a note to be added that an indigenous language like Cree or Dene is suggested, effective Fall 2009 intake.

NOTES: 1. Fine Arts courses include: ART 100, ARTH 100, FILM 100, INA 100, INAH 100, MU 100, and THEA 100. 2. An Indigenous language course such as Cree or Dene is suggested. 3. Natural science courses are to be selected from astronomy, biology, chemistry, geology, physics or an approved natural

science. 4. To be admitted to pre-internship, students must have normally completed 60 credit hours of named courses in semesters one

to four. 5. Semesters five and six are the pre-internship semesters. Students are expected to have full-time status; courses, modules,

seminars, workshops, field experiences and other activities may be scheduled during normal class time throughout the semester.


7. Approved Education electives must be senior level (200-level or above) in the Faculty of Education. A list of approved senior courses is available from the Student Program Centre in the Faculty of Education.

8. A list of approved courses is available from the Student Program Centre in the Faculty of Education. Rationale: The Middle Years program has a language requirement, which students can take in either of the fall or winter semesters in the first year. The calendar currently requires that students take either Cree, Dene, French or another Aboriginal language.

MOTION #5 That PSYC 210 no longer be accepted as an equivalent course for EPSY 350 in the Secondary Program, effective Winter 2010.

Semester 4 EADM 310 (3) EFDN _____ (3) E (major post-internship course or approved elective) (3) Elective (3) Elective (3)

* PSYC 210 may be recognized as an alternative to EPSY 350. * Note: PSYC 210 will no longer be accepted as an equivalent to EPSY 350, effective 201010. *

Rationale: The PSYC 210 course which was accepted as equivalent in the past lacks content focussing on the role of the family, culture or schools in the development of the child and adolescent. This has long been a major weakness in the program and in the understanding of students who have been exempted from EPSY 350.

MOTION #6 That MATH 122 be replaced by ACSC 116 in the Secondary BEd Program: Mathematics Major (EMTH), effective Winter 2010.

Rationale: The implementation of the Western and Northern Canadian Protocol (WNCP) Common Curriculum Framework for mathematics begins this fall in Saskatchewan high schools and the content on matrices is no longer included within the curriculum. The Ministry of Education Mathematics Consultant who serves on the WNCP Committee supports the change to remove Math 122 from the Secondary B.Ed. Program and replace it with ACSC 116, a course in the mathematics of finance, which would be beneficial to secondary high school teachers. This course will be offered and taught by the Math Department.

Rationale: The IT jobs in Saskatchewan predominately require a working knowledge of databases. Since the revision of the CS curriculum in 2006, CS 215 incorporated databases into its content; however, they are covered only minimally in comparison to industry need. To ensure students are competitive in the workforce, a whole course dedicated to databases is required.

required Rationale: Correct an error that occurred when the program was created. PHYS 201 has MATH 213 as a prerequisite, a course that is not required in the program. Since this program has few electives, it is easier to remove this course rather than add another required course.

2. Department of Mathematics and Statistics

Motion to change the requirement in the BSc in Mathematics from MATH 131 or 232 to MATH 231 or 232.

Rationale: To accommodate the removal of the packages by the Department of Biology.

Motion to exempt MATH 124: The Art and Science of Secret Writing from the Faculty’s Course Sequencing regulation (Section 16.7.1 of the Undergraduate Calendar). Rationale: There are students with MATH 213 that may benefit from MATH 124 as an elective. The material covered in MATH 124 is not likely to have been seen in other computer science, mathematics, statistics, or actuarial science courses.

3. Department of Geology

Motion to add CHEM 105 and delete one Open Elective to make room for the additional chemistry course.

Rationale: The new Chemistry courses CHEM 105 better suits the needs of our Geoscience students. Chem 105 will constitute one of eight science courses outside of the discipline.

Motion that GEOL 307 becomes one of the core (compulsory) geology courses, and replaces CHEM 230.

Rationale: CHEM 230 does not meet the requirements of our students. Geochemistry (Geol 307) covers all of the relevant material, in a context that Geology students require, and is also listed as one of the required courses for professional accreditation by the National Standards Board and the (Sask.) Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists.

Motion to replace STAT 160 with STAT 160 or STAT 100.

Rationale: STAT 100 better suits the needs of the majority of our students. STAT 160 does not. Therefore the Dept. elected to give students the option (given that there was a lot of pressure external to the Dept. to use STAT 160).

DATE: 29 May 2009 TO: Chair, Council Committee on Undergraduate Admissions and Studies FROM: Harvey King RE: Item for Information – New ESL Core Course, Level 005 CCE Council met on May 25th and approved the creation of a new non-credit course offering in our English as a Second Language Program referred to as “ESL 005”. Details on this new core course are as follows: COURSE: (This is a non-credit course offering and therefore will not appear in the "Undergraduate course catalogue") Centre for Continuing Education, English as a Second Language (ESL) Program (ESL) ESL 005 (primary level) 0 Credit An early production core level designed to meet the needs of those students with little or no

pre-existing English language skills. RATIONALE: The ESL Regular Program currently consists of five levels, ranging from basic to advanced (010, 020, 030, 040, 050). As a result of changing demographics in the recruitment of international student population it became evidently clear that a new lower entry level offering was required to meet the needs of the ever-growing number of students arriving with little to no English skills. The distinction between the 005 “primary” level and the 010 “basic” level is the expectation, supported by placement testing, that the student in the 010 has pre-existing ESL skills that will enable them to follow the curriculum and potentially advance through the level. Those entering the 005 level would require additional provisions and support, such as smaller class sizes and individualized attention, within a course designed specifically for these pre-/early-production learners which is integral to progress at the beginner stage. Full competency and learner descriptors are available for your review if you so desire. The related Non-credit Course Inventory Form has been forward to the Registrar’s office and is attached for your information. For your information.

Academic Policy Services and Ceremonies FROM: Annette Marche Assistant Registrar

International Admissions RE: Minimum Undergraduate Admissions Score Requirement for IELTS The following motion is submitted for approval. Motion: That the minimum undergraduate admissions score requirement for International English Language Testing System (IELTS) be set at an overall band score of 6.5 with no band less than 5.5. Rationale: The Admissions Office surveyed approximately 21 post secondary institutions across Canada and found that the minimum overall band requirement for IELTS to be 6.5 at schools that have other similar English Language Proficiency (ELP) requirements (e.g. similar required score for TOEFL). Consultation with ESL indicated that an increase in the IELTS score requirement is necessary to better align with ESL requirements. Given the survey results of other post secondary institution requirements and consultation with ESL, an increase in the minimum IELTS admission requirement would better prepare students completing the IELTS for undergraduate studies at the University of Regina, in terms of language preparation.
