UNDERGRADUATE CALENDAR 2019-20 Brandon MB R7A 6A9 Telephone: 204.728.9520 Fax: 204.726.4573 Website: www.brandonu.ca Table of Contents 2019-20 UNDERGRADUATE CALENDAR BRANDON UNIVERSITY COAT OF ARMS In 1948 a committee was appointed to design and approve a Coat of Arms for Brandon College. The official statement of the Arms is: Argent, on a chevron of azure an antique lamp or, between in chief two open books, and in base a garb, all proper. Crest --- A Phoenix sable, armed gules, issuant from flames of fire proper. Taken from Ephesians IV:15, the motto "Aletheuontes de en Agape" means "Speaking the truth in love". In 1971 the University Registrar composed the following description of the Coat of Arms: "The Coat of Arms represents the three-fold nature of man: spiritual, mental and physical, crowned with the blessing of everlasting life. The wheat sheaf represents the material blessings, which God has given us in body and estate. The two open books represent the learning and arts of mankind. The Phoenix is a mythical bird fabled to be the only one of its kind which lived for five or six hundred years in the Arabian desert, after which it burned itself to ashes in a funeral pyre and emerged from the ashes with renewed life to live through another cycle of years. The Phoenix therefore, represents immortality." 2 Table of Contents STATEMENT OF RESPONSIBILITY Brandon University makes every endeavor to ensure that registration and course information contained in this calendar is accurate at the time of publication, but it is possible that errors may occur.

STATISTICS CANADA - PRIVACY STATEMENT NOTIFICATION OF DISCLOSURE OF PERSONAL INFORMATION TO STATISTICS CANADA Statistics Canada is the national statistical agency. As such, Statistics Canada carries out hundreds of surveys each year on a wide range of matters, including education. It is essential to be able to follow students across time and institutions to understand, for example, the factors affecting enrolment demand at post-secondary institutions. The increased emphasis on accountability for public investment means that it is also important to understand ‘outcomes’. In order to carry out such studies, Statistics Canada asks all colleges and universities to provide data on students and graduates. Institutions collect and provide to Statistics Canada student identification information (student’s name, student ID number, Social Insurance Number), student contact information (address and telephone number), student demographic characteristics, enrolment information, previous education, and labour force activity. The Federal Statistics Act provides the legal authority for Statistics Canada to obtain access to personal information held by educational institutions. This information may be used only for statistical purposes, and the confidentiality provisions of the Statistics Act prevent the information from being released in any way that would identify the student. Students who do not wish to have their information used are able to ask Statistics Canada to remove their identification and contact information from the national database. The email address for this request is esis-siae.participation@statcan.ca. Further information can be obtained from Statistics Canada’s website: http:/www.statcan.ca or by writing to the Post-secondary Section, Centre for Education Statistics, 17th Floor, R.H. Coats Building, Tunney’s Pasture, Ottawa, K1A 0T6. 3 Table of Contents Table of Contents ADMISSION APPLICATION AND DOCUMENT DEADLINES

COURSE CREDIT FOR TRANSFER STUDENTS All courses on which a minimum grade of ‘C’ (or equivalent) was obtained will be transferred to Brandon University and recorded on the student’s transcript with a “P” grade. Transfer courses are not calculated in cumulative or program GPAs. Certain courses may require a grade higher than “C” in order to count toward prerequisite and degree requirements. Academic departments/faculties may grant unallocated transfer credit if a course is deemed to be a university-level course within the department/faculty’s field of study that has no direct Brandon University course equivalent. The maximum number of transfer credit hours for the 3-year, 4-year and 5-year degrees is listed in the appropriate section of this calendar. Courses from other institutions accepted by departments for transfer of credit to a student's program, with the exception of those courses taken on a Letter of Permission, will not normally be subject to the stipulated course prerequisite(s) in this calendar. Students granted transfer credit must meet all the curriculum requirements for the degree sought at Brandon University. Departments may reserve the right to refuse transfer of credit on the basis that the coursework is outdated. TRANSFER OF CREDIT FROM COMMUNITY COLLEGES Requests for transfer of credit from community college programs into degree programs will be considered on a course by course basis where there exists an equivalent Brandon University course. Consideration will be given to the established practice of accredited universities within the jurisdiction in which the community college is located. Since not all community college courses are equivalent to university level courses, the final decision on transfer credit is the prerogative of the department and the Dean of the faculty concerned. If, in the opinion of the department, a student has significant post-secondary credit for which no Brandon University equivalent credits exist, the student may be granted advanced placement. 17 ADMISSIONS REGULATIONS WAIVER OF TRANSFER COURSES Students may request a waiver of transfer for all courses taken five (5) years or more prior to admission. This request must be made in writing on the appropriate form designated by the Admissions Office. Such a waiver, if requested, will apply to all transfer courses taken five (5) or more years ago. Once a student submits such a written request, it may not be subsequently revoked.

The decision of the Undergraduate Student Appeals Committee (USAC) shall be final. INTERRUPTED STUDIES Students who do not register in at least one course at Brandon University for a period of three years or more are considered to have interrupted their studies. Students wishing to continue their studies at Brandon University after an interruption must reapply to the University (see section 2.1). Individual programs may have additional regulations with regard to Leaves of Absence, detailed information on which is be found in the appropriate section of this Calendar. For regulations pertaining to which Calendars students may use after being readmitted following an interruption of studies, see section 5.15. REGISTRATION Before students can register for courses, new students must first have been accepted to the University (for Admission Requirements, see section 2.3). Returning students who are not eligible to re-register at the University due to insufficient academic performance (see section 3.16) will have been so advised by the Registrar’s Office. STUDENT STATUS ON REGISTRATION Every student at Brandon University has a registration status. For new students, this is an admission status as defined in section 2.3. The status of continuing or returning students is based on a student's previous academic performance (see section 3.16). 1. Regular Status: A new student who has met the admission requirements as a Regular student and is working toward a Brandon University degree. For continuing and returning students, Regular status is maintained by being a student in good standing (see section 21 GENERAL REGULATIONS 2.3.1) or by promotion from Mature student status by achieving 12 credit hours of C grades or better with a cumulative of 2.00 or better. Students on Probation who have achieved good standing may be promoted to Regular status. 2. Mature Status: A student who has been admitted as a Mature student who has not yet met the requirements for promotion to Regular status (see section 2.3.1). 3. Probation Status: A student who, after completion of 24 or more credit hours, has a cumulative grade point average of less than 2.00, but satisfies the requirement set out in the Academic Performance table to be eligible to register on Probation. Students returning from Academic Suspension or Withdrawal will register on Probation (see section 3.17.3). 4. Visitor Status: A student registering for credit courses for which credit is sought elsewhere (see section 2.3.4). 5. Auditor Status: A student who registers for courses for which no credit is being sought and for which the student is not required to write final examinations. No grade is given for an audited course. Students who register as auditor status must have been admitted under one of the admission categories (see section 2.3.6). 6. Dual Credit Status: A student who has been admitted as a Dual Credit student and has not yet satisfied the requirements for admission under the Regular or Mature categories (see section 2.3.5). MANDATORY ADVISING Mandatory Advising is required for all undergraduate students entering their first year of studies at Brandon University in the Faculties of Arts and Science or the Department of Physical Education Studies and will have their ability to register for courses restricted until they have met with an academic advisor. This is to ensure that all first-year students are aware of degree and program requirements and course prerequisites. Once the registration restriction has been lifted, students may be able to change their current registration and/or register for subsequent years, subject to course load limits and any fees as identified by Financial & Registration Services. All students in the Faculty of Health Studies are required to consult with the B.Sc.P.N/B.N. Student Advisors prior to designing their program and on an annual basis thereafter. SUCCESS1 TRANSITION PROGRAM The Success1 Transition Program provides support during the transition to university to facilitate student success. 1. Students in this program are permitted to register in a maximum of 12 credit hours per term. 2. During their mandatory advising appointment, students will, with the assistance of their advisor, create a personalized Student Success Agreement. • The student will register in 99:090 Fundamentals of University and/or 99:175 Fundamentals of Inquiry and/or agree to participate in at least 6 of the Success Series Workshops; • The student will consider enrolling in one or more skill-building courses as electives. 3. Students will be assigned a Success Coach with whom they will meet at least two times per term. 4. Students will meet with an Academic Advisor at least once per term. High school graduates and those holding a G.E.D. who have been admitted to Brandon University through Success1 Transition Program, will have their performance evaluated upon completion of 24 credit hours. Students who meet the minimum Academic Performance requirement (in accordance with the Academic Performance Table see section 3.17) will continue at the University with Regular Student status. Mature students who have been admitted to Brandon University through Success1 Transition Program will, upon completion of the requirements outlined in section 2.5, continue at the University with Regular Student status. REGISTRATION PROCESS Registration consists of all of the following steps: 1. 2. 3. 4. Seeking academic advising, if required; Selecting courses for a particular academic session; Completing and submitting a registration form; Online Registration: Registration is only complete once the student has received both a tracking number and a confirmation to their Brandon University email account. Paper Registration: If registering on a paper form, the department, course number, course title, section number and term must be correct to ensure successful registration. If required, the form must include approval signature of the Dean, Chair, or Advisor (or designate) of the Faculty/School in which the student’s program resides. Making payment to Financial & Registration Services on fees assessed. Students are responsible for all of the following: • Accurate completion of the initial registration process and any subsequent registration changes; • Ensuring that courses registered for meet the requirements of the degree sought, seeking academic advising as required; and • Informing Financial & Registration Services of all changes to personal information (e.g. address, name, etc.). The University reserves the right to cancel any course in which there is insufficient enrolment. 22 GENERAL REGULATIONS DEFINITION OF FULL-TIME STUDENTS Any student registered in nine or more credit hours per term shall be considered a full-time student of Brandon University. Students undertaking an approved international development or international exchange program under the auspices of Brandon University shall, upon recommendation of the Director of International Activities and the approval of the responsible Dean and the University Registrar, be deemed to have satisfied the requirements for full-time student status at Brandon University for the duration of the international development or international exchange program. COURSE LOAD LIMIT Students are limited in the regular session (September to April) to a maximum of 30 credit hours, with a maximum of 15 credit hours in each term, with exceptions for students in certain programs where a typical course load consists of more than 30 credit hours: Bachelor of Music, Bachelor of Physical Education, Bachelor of Nursing, and Bachelor of Psychiatric Nursing. For more detailed information on course load limits in those programs, please consult the individual program descriptions in this Calendar. Additions to, or variations in, this course load must be approved in writing by the student’s Dean. This written authorization must be given to Financial & Registration Services before the course changes can be processed. Students are advised that taking course overloads could jeopardize their academic performance. Mature students have limited course loads (see section 2.3.2). WAITING LISTS When a student attempts to register for a course that has reached its enrolment limit, they may join the waiting list, provided they meet prerequisites for the course. Students who do not meet the prerequisites for the course may only join a waiting list by submitting a completed Prerequisite Waiver Form to Financial & Registration Services. Should the student’s name be first on the waiting list when a spot in the course becomes available, the student will be notified via Brandon University email and invited to register in the course within a specified time period or to remove their name from the waiting list. If the student does not register within the specified time period, the spot is forfeited, and the student’s name is removed from the waiting list. Students can view or remove themselves from waiting lists at any time through the Student Information portal. Students who do not have internet access should contact Financial & Registration Services to obtain instructions. COURSE AUDIT A Regular Student who is registered in courses for credit may wish to audit a course. This is different from Auditor Status in that Auditor Status students are not taking any courses for credit. All students, however, who wish to audit a course, must have the written approval of the Instructor, and where necessary, the additional approval of the Department Chair and the Dean of the Faculty or School that teaches the course. Approval to register for a course as an Auditor is given on the understanding that the audited course is for personal interest only, is not assigned a grade, is not for degree credit, has no examination, test or coursework assignment privileges, does not count for prerequisite standing in other courses and is assessed a fee equal to one-half of the course fee. With the permission of the Instructor, a student may change from Credit to Audit or Audit to Credit provided the change is made before the Voluntary Withdrawal deadline (last date for withdrawal without academic penalty). The appropriate fee adjustment will be made against the student's account by Financial & Registration Services. COURSE WITHDRAWAL To withdraw from a course or all courses, students must use the online registration system or submit a Registration Change form to Financial & Registration Services in respect of published deadlines. COURSE DROP If a student drops a course up to and including the course add/drop date (the last date for registration in that course), the course will not appear on the transcript. VOLUNTARY WITHDRAWAL (VW) If a student withdraws from a course after the course add/drop date (last date for registration in that course) up to and including the Voluntary Withdrawal deadline (last date for withdrawal without academic penalty), the course will remain on the transcript with the notation of VW (voluntary withdrawal). Failure to officially withdraw from a course prior to the Voluntary Withdrawal deadline may result in a grade of “F” (failure) for the course. The Voluntary Withdrawal deadline dates for single-term and both-term courses represent 80% of the total contact hours in the course. 23 GENERAL REGULATIONS AUTHORIZED WITHDRAWAL (AW) Students may be permitted to withdraw from a course or courses after the Voluntary Withdrawal deadline and prior to the date of the final exam for the course(s) only for reasons of illness, disability or domestic affliction, supported by a certificate from a qualified professional. The Instructor and the Dean of the Faculty or School in which the course is located will make a discretionary decision. Students who are permitted to withdraw from a course will be assigned the notation AW (Authorized Withdrawal) for the course(s). COURSE INFORMATION COURSE CONTACT HOURS A 3 credit hour course is normally offered in a single term with a minimum of 36 contact hours. A 6 credit hour course is normally offered in both terms with a minimum of 72 contact hours. Classes typically meet 3 hours per week in 1, 1.5, or 3 hour blocks. COURSE NUMBERS Course numbers are made up of two parts: a two-digit prefix that designates the Department, School or Faculty under whose jurisdiction the course is offered and a three-digit suffix that indicates the level of the course. Example: 12:173 Course Prefix = 12 (Department of Anthropology) Course Suffix = 173 (First year course number) Two Digit Course Prefixes Leadership & Educational Leadership Curriculum Foundations Teaching & Learning Educational Psychology & Student Services Physical Education Music Education Anthropology Biology Business Administration Chemistry Drama Economics English & Creative Writing Environmental Science Fine Arts (Aboriginal Art & Visual Art) Gender & Women’s Studies Geography & Environment Applied Disaster & Emergency Studies Geology 01 02 03 04 05 06 12 15 16 18 20 22 30 31 32 36 38 40 42 History Justice Studies Languages, Classical & Modern Mathematics & Computer Science Music: History & Theory Music: Applied Music: Education Music (Arts) Native Studies Psychiatric Nursing Philosophy Nursing Physics/Astronomy Political Science Psychology Religion Rural & Community Studies Sociology Non-Departmental 54 56 58 62 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 74 78 82 86 88 90 99 Three Digit Course Suffixes Basic and First Year Second Year Third Year Fourth Year Fifth Year 090-199 200-299 300-399 400-499 500-599 COURSE PREREQUISITES A prerequisite is a specific requirement that a student must normally meet before being permitted to register for a course. Prerequisites are listed in individual course descriptions within this calendar. Students who do not meet all stated prerequisites (whether by failing or withdrawing from a prerequisite course in which they were registered or by other means) will, in the absence of a formal Prerequisite Waiver Form, be deregistered from the course for which they are lacking prerequisites. Deregistration notification will be sent to such students and the associated course instructors via their Brandon University email accounts. COURSE COREQUISITES A corequisite is a usually a course (or lab) that must be taken in the same term as another course. Students must register in all corequisite elements at the same time, and if they withdraw from one, they will be required to withdraw from the other(s) as well. Corequisites, where 24 GENERAL REGULATIONS applicable, are listed in individual course descriptions within the appropriate Course Calendar. In the rare circumstance, that a student cannot take the corequisite in the same term as the course(s) that requires it, the student should consult the course instructor or the Department Chair for advice. COURSE ANTIREQUISITES An antirequisite is a specific condition that, if met, will prevent students from registering for a course. Usually, antirequisites are listed as courses that, if already successfully completed, prevent a student from registering in equivalent or lower-level courses in the same subject area. Antirequisites, where applicable, are listed in individual course descriptions within this calendar. 090/091 LEVEL COURSES Study at Brandon University in a 100 level course in some departments may be undertaken only if a student has grade 12 standing or its certified equivalent or successful completion of a 090/091 level course in the subject. Brandon University makes available a certain number of 090/091 courses. This measure is intended to provide an opportunity for students to acquire some knowledge of a subject which they did not acquire in high school or to reinforce knowledge that was acquired many years ago. Students working toward a Brandon University degree will be allowed to take Brandon University 090/091 level courses (which are nontransferable) with the following exceptions: 1. Students may count for credit a maximum of 6 credits of 090/091 level courses within any undergraduate degree; 2. Students may not count 090/091 level courses for credit in the Major or Minor areas of study; 3. Students will be allowed a maximum of three attempts per registration (that is, initial enrolment plus two XTND’s each time) in 090/091 level courses for a maximum period of up to 18 months from the initial enrolment. If the student fails to clear the XTND in this time period, the grade in the 090/091 level course will become an “F” on the student’s transcript. TOPICS COURSES Topics courses are limited to third and fourth year students. Third year students are permitted a maximum of 6 credit hours and fourth year students a further maximum of 6 credit hours. Students who wish to enroll in any Topics Courses in any Department must obtain the written approval of the Instructor, Department Chair and the Dean before they register for the course. Normally, in the Faculties of Arts, Science, or Education, a student taking a 3 credit hour topics course will meet with the instructor for a minimum of 36 class contact hours; for a 6 credit hour course the minimum number of class contact hours will equal 72. Where School of Music courses are concerned, the number of class hours per week is indicated against each course and therefore the number of class contact hours can be calculated. Topics courses must be completed within the dates of the term or session in which the course is offered. Extensions may be permitted as provided in section 3.12.11. All topics courses have course number suffixes as follows: 398/399/498/499 3 credit hour courses 339/349/439/449 6 credit hour courses COURSE CREDIT STATUS On the transcript, courses may have credit status notations, which provide additional information, usually in relation to how the courses are used within the student’s program at the University. Most current credit status notations are listed below: Credit Status Notation EXTR Description Extra course that cannot be used within the student’s degree program TRAN Course that has been transferred, usually from another recognized post-secondary institution, to a student’s record at Brandon University Course taken by a Brandon University student at another recognized institution with preapproval for transfer back to Brandon University Course taken by a Visitor status student who has received permission to transfer the course back to their home institution Grade Relief Policy has been granted for the LOP VISI GRP 25 Credit Hour & GPA Impact Included in cumulative credit hours and cumulative GPA Not included in degree credit hours completed or degree GPA Included in all credit hour calculations Not included in GPA calculations (See section 3.16 for more information.)

A non-refundable fee is charged for a Letter of Permission. Established equivalencies can be found in the online Course Transfer Database on the Brandon University website. If the course(s) is not in the database, or requires re-evaluation, students may be asked to provide a detailed outline /syllabus for the course(s). Not all courses listed in the transfer database will necessarily be current offerings at that institution. Requests for Letters of Permission should be received by the Registrar’s Office at least one month prior to the deadline dates established by the visiting institution to allow sufficient processing time. Letters of Permission may be granted to students who have Regular Status. Students who do not have Regular Status (i.e. Probation, Mature) will have their requests approved by the appropriate Academic Dean or Program Coordinator before a Letter of Permission will be issued. Students must establish residency at Brandon University before a Letter of Permission will be granted and no Letter of Permission will be issued for a student who has not registered for any Brandon University credit hours. Residency is established usually through the successful completion of a minimum of 15 credit hours. Students who do not meet this requirement may be granted written approval to obtain a Letter of Permission through their Academic Dean or the Program Coordinator. As approval for the issuance of a Letter of Permission for courses is the prerogative of the academic faculty, students are advised to have their selection of courses reviewed by the appropriate faculty advisor to ensure that requested courses will fulfill major/minor or other degree requirements. Issuance of a Letter of Permission does not imply that degree residency requirements, prerequisites, or major/minor requirements have been waived. It is the student's responsibility to see that upon completion of the course, an official transcript is sent as soon as possible to the Registrar’s Office directly from the institution where the course was taken within the timeframe specified on the Letter of Permission. Courses on which a minimum grade of “C” (or equivalent) was obtained will be transferred to Brandon University and recorded on the student’s transcript with a “P” grade. Transfer courses are not calculated in cumulative or degree GPAs. Certain courses may require a grade higher than “C” for transfer. Exception: For courses taken on a Letter of Permission that are required as part of a Senate approved partnership program between Brandon University and another post-secondary institution (such as the Pre-Psychiatric Nursing – Winnipeg Site program), all final letter grades received at the partner institution will be transferred to the student’s academic record at Brandon University upon receipt of the official transcript. Grades received on such courses appear on the student’s transcript and are calculated in the cumulative and degree GPAs. TRANSFER CREDIT Students who have taken a course or courses at another academic institution prior to their admittance to Brandon University will have their records assessed for possible transfer credit (see section 2.3.3). Students who have been readmitted to Brandon University following academic suspension (see page 36), academic withdrawal (see page 36), or other interruption of studies may request an assessment of courses taken at another academic institution(s) during the period of suspension, withdrawal, or interruption for possible transfer of credit to Brandon University. Courses from other academic institutions accepted by Departments for transfer of credit to a student's program, with the exception of those courses taken through a Letter of Permission (see section 2.3.4.1), will normally not be subject to the stipulated course prerequisite(s). Departments reserve the right to refuse to grant transfer of credit for a number of reasons, which may include their assessment that the coursework being evaluated is outdated. Courses on which a minimum grade of “C” (or equivalent) was obtained will be transferred to Brandon University and recorded on the student’s transcript with a “P” grade. Transfer courses are not calculated in cumulative GPA or degree GPAs. Certain courses may require a grade higher than ‘C’ for transfer. 26 GENERAL REGULATIONS Note: Students who wish to request a review or reassessment of transfer credit must do so within six months of the initial transfer of credit to Brandon University. PRIOR LEARNING ASSESSMENT AND RECOGNITION (PLAR) Brandon University respects all forms of learning, however it is attained, and recognizes also that individuals do achieve university level learning outside of the usual academic environment. In acknowledgement of these achievements, Brandon University aims to provide an accessible yet fair and rigorous process for assessing this prior learning by academic experts in the relevant subject area. Brandon University recognizes PLAR credit on a case-by-case basis if the individual’s learning has reached the expected range and depth of knowledge and skills for the particular academic credential requested by the PLAR applicant. A range of evaluation methods, as determined by the academic Department conducting the assessment, may be used in PLAR, including examinations, demonstrations, interviews, and portfolio-assisted assessments. While providing this opportunity, Brandon University reserves its mandate of ensuring that appropriate academic standards are maintained. Only individuals who have been admitted to Brandon University are eligible to seek PLAR credit. Applicants are to be aware that certain Brandon University Faculties or Schools may determine additional requirements for eligibility. Application for PLAR credit shall normally be initiated within the first 30 credit hours of registration in a new degree program at Brandon University. PLAR credit shall be subject to the normal Residence regulations. If PLAR credit is granted, it will be recognized as Brandon University course equivalents or as unallocated credit. PLAR credit(s) will not normally be counted towards the applicant’s degree program until they have successfully completed a minimum of 15 credit hours at Brandon University courses. The PLAR assessment fee is non-refundable and must be paid in full before an assessment will be conducted. Please contact (204) 727-7300 for further information. CANADIAN ARMED FORCES Brandon University acknowledges that Canadian Forces personnel do acquire university level learning through the completion of Canadian Forces training programs and courses as well as through the attainment of rank. In recognition of these achievements, Brandon University aims to provide an accessible yet fair and rigorous process for assessing this learning by academic experts in the relevant subject area for Regular or Resource members of the Canadian Forces (active or retired) who are admitted to Brandon University. If credit is granted for this learning, it will be recognized as Brandon University course equivalents or as unallocated PLAR credit. Furthermore, Brandon University recognizes that on a case-by-case basis Canadian Forces personnel are eligible to apply for Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) based on their experiential learning. Students are advised that credit in either case may not be applicable for all degree programs. CHALLENGE FOR CREDIT Challenge for Credit is permitted for students who have fulfilled, beyond the normal admission level equivalent, study equivalent to requirements for a Brandon University credit course. A student who audits a course may, after the course is completed, subject to approval of the Instructor, be allowed to challenge the course for credit, provided the regular Challenge for Credit fee is paid. Permission to challenge a course is the prerogative of the Instructor in the course, Department Chair and Dean. The Challenge Exam will be held at a date mutually agreed upon by the student and instructor, in accordance with procedures approved by the Department, Faculty or School concerned. Students who have been admitted to Brandon University as Regular or Mature students may be allowed a maximum of 15 credit hours of challenge for credit, and one challenge for credit per course. The challenge cannot include a course previously taken (passed or failed). Normally a course used for admission may not be used as the basis for applying for challenge for credit; however, with permission of the Department and Dean, a student with superior standing in a course used as the basis for admission, may challenge for credit. A challenge for credit shall be (1) considered the equivalent of a transferred course and therefore subject to the Residence regulations and (2) counted as part of the number of the attempts for the degree sought and so recorded on the student’s academic record. Students may not challenge for credit (1) while on Probation, Suspension, or Academic Withdrawal or (2) challenge a course on the basis of having obtained standing in a course at a lower, equal or higher level. Students who are granted permission to challenge for credit must complete or challenge the prerequisite courses listed for the course challenged for credit unless the prerequisite has been waived by the Department. The Challenge for Credit application form is available online or from the Registrar’s Office. Once the Instructor, Department Chair and Dean have given their written approval, the form must be returned to the Registrar’s Office, at which point the non-refundable tuition fee for the course will be charged to the student’s account. ADVANCED PLACEMENT Students, who, in the opinion of the Department Chair and the Dean of the Faculty/School, have met the qualifications for a university course in some manner other than the formal study beyond the admission level, may be considered for advanced placement. Such students would then be allowed to proceed to second year courses in that area without credit in the first year course. Such students could then be considered for a 24 credit hour major or a 9 credit hour minor in that subject. Advanced placement will be granted at the discretion of the Department Chair and the Dean of the Faculty/School. 27 GENERAL REGULATIONS COURSEWORK AND GRADING ATTENDANCE AT LECTURES AND PRACTICAL WORK 1. All students are expected to be regular in their attendance at lectures and labs. While attendance per se will not be considered in assessing the final grade, it should be noted that in some courses participation in class activities may be required. 2. For limited enrolment courses, students who are registered but do not attend the first three classes or notify the instructor that they intend to attend may have their registration cancelled in favour of someone else wishing to register for the course. 3. Admission to a lecture, laboratory class, or to applied instruction may be refused for lateness, misconduct, or lack of preparation. 4. Students who are unable to attend a scheduled instruction period because of illness, disability, or domestic affliction should inform the instructor concerned as soon as possible. 5. Instructors may excuse absences for good and sufficient reasons. 6. Smoking is prohibited in all classrooms and laboratories and is not permitted in any exception. 7. Extra-curricular events such as varsity athletic trips and practices or School of Music Tours must be scheduled such that students in these events shall be able to meet a minimum of their class commitments. 8. Mandatory academic attendance is not permitted during “No Classes Scheduled” times as noted in the Brandon University Undergraduate Calendar, unless mutually agreed upon by all students enrolled in the course/class, not including Education or Health Studies Senior Practicum. GRADING AND RETURN OF ACADEMIC WORK 1. At the close of each term or session, grades are assigned indicating the character of the student's work throughout the term. If term marks are given, they shall be based on reports, essays, etc., preferably of a critical or analytical nature, on aspects of the work covered in the course concerned. The instructor shall make clear to the class at the beginning of each course how the final grade in the class shall be assigned. The maximum term mark for work in all courses is to be set by the Department concerned, with the Deans to be kept informed. 2. The grades given for term work are added to the grades obtained at the final examination (if such is required) in the course and this total shall determine the standing of the student. 3. Academic papers, presented by students in partial or entire fulfillment of any course requirement, shall remain the property of the writer and may be retained by the course instructor after their marking only with the written permission of the student. Academic papers, excluding final examination papers, presented by students in partial or entire fulfillment of any course offered at Brandon University remain the property of the writer and should be returned to the students after marking. Within 21 days of the receipt of the final grade, students may, upon request, see their marked final examination in the presence of the instructor. LETTER GRADE SYSTEM The following Letter Grade System will be used commencing with 2006 Regular Session Fall registrations. Letter Grade Grade Points A+ A AB+ B BC+ C CD F 4.30 4.00 3.70 3.30 3.00 2.70 2.30 2.00 1.70 1.00 0.00 * Weighted Grade Points 3 Credit Hour Course 12.90 12.00 11.10 9.90 9.00 8.10 6.90 6.00 5.10 3.00 0.00 Courses with different credit hours will have an appropriate weighted grade assigned. Grades of "P", "S", and "U" may be awarded in a limited range of courses. Such grades carry no weighted grade points and are not calculated into the degree or cumulative grade point average. Individual programs may specify minimum grades required in order for courses to count toward successful completion of the program. GRADE POINT AVERAGE (GPA) Brandon University uses several different Grade Point Average (GPA) calculations, as outlined below. 28 GENERAL REGULATIONS CUMULATIVE GPA The cumulative GPA includes all courses taken for credit at Brandon University. It is calculated as follows: Sum of all weighted grade points ÷ Sum of all credit hours attempted on which letter grades (A – F) have been obtained The cumulative GPA is used primarily to assess students’ academic performance (see section 3.16). DEGREE GPA The degree GPA includes only those courses that count towards fulfillment of degree requirements. It is calculated as follows: Sum of weighted grade points on courses that apply to the degree ÷ Sum of credit hours earned for courses that apply to the degree and on which passing letter grades (A – D)* have been obtained The degree GPA is used primarily to assess students’ eligibility to graduate with a given degree. * Some programs may require a grade higher than D in order for a course to count towards fulfillment of degree requirements. SESSIONAL GPA The sessional GPA includes all courses taken within a single academic session (Regular, Spring, or Summer). It is calculated as follows: Sum of weighted grade points on all courses taken in the session ÷ Sum of credit hours attempted for courses taken in the session and on which letter grades (A – F) have been obtained The sessional GPA is used primarily for award purposes and for assessing the academic performance of students on probation. MAJOR GPA The Major GPA includes all courses taken towards a Major at Brandon University. It is calculated as follows: Sum of weighted grade points on all courses that apply to the Major ÷ Sum of credit hours earned for courses that apply to the Major and on which passing letter grades (A – D)* have been obtained The Major GPA is used primarily to assess students’ eligibility to graduate with a given degree. * Some programs may require a grade higher than D in order for a course to count towards fulfillment of degree requirements. MINOR GPA The Minor GPA includes all courses taken towards a Minor at Brandon University. It is calculated as follows: Sum of weighted grade points on all courses that apply to the Minor ÷ Sum of credit hours earned for courses that apply to the Minor and on which passing letter grades (A – D)* have been obtained The Minor GPA is used primarily to assess students’ eligibility to graduate with a given degree. * Some programs may require a grade higher than D in order for a course to count towards fulfillment of degree requirements. COURSE GRADE NOTATIONS A student’s transcript may include notations that provide additional information related to the course grade. Most current grade notations are listed below: Grade Notation AD Description Academic Dishonesty designation that accompanies a grade of F in the course A.W. Authorized Withdrawal permitted after Voluntary Withdrawal (VW) deadline and before the final exam for the course Course completed on the basis of a challenge CHEX 29 Credit Hour & GPA Impact Included in cumulative credit hours and cumulative GPA Not included in degree credit hours completed or degree GPA Not included in any credit hour calculations Not included in any GPA calculations Included in all credit hour calculations GENERAL REGULATIONS DEFX INC AUDI examination Credit hours achieved through Prior Learning Assessment & Recognition (PLAR) Field Experience course graded on a Pass/Fail basis Deferred examination Incomplete term work Audited course taken not for credit SPEX Supplemental examination granted V.W.

When an incomplete is granted, the Instructor will indicate on the electronic grade form the date by which the term work must be completed (a maximum of three months from the last date of the final examination period of the term in which the course was offered) and the grade that will be applied if the work is not completed by that date. Subsequent extensions to the original date may be granted by the instructor with the approval of the Dean of the Faculty/School offering the course, up to a further three-month maximum. In exceptional circumstances, students with documented health concerns may, at the discretion of the Dean, be granted a further extension beyond the normal six-month maximum. Third and fourth year undergraduate Music students registered in recital (including Concerto) may be granted an incomplete in these courses for periods not exceeding twelve months. Extensions may be granted only in exceptional circumstances and require Undergraduate Student Appeals Committee (USAC) approval. REPEATED COURSES When a student repeats a course, all course attempts, including grades earned, will remain on the transcript. However, only the grade and any associated credits earned on the most recent attempt will be used for calculating grade point averages and credit hours completed, determining prerequisite satisfaction, and verifying completion of degree/program requirements. The previous attempt(s) will have the designation RPT (repeat) placed beside them on the transcript. GRADE RELIEF POLICY A student whose transcript shows an absence from Brandon University of five years or more may appeal to the University Registrar, at any time prior to graduation, for grade relief related to all courses taken prior to the absence. Students must submit an application for readmission and be readmitted to the university prior to requesting grade relief. If granted grade relief, all registered courses and grades obtained prior to the minimum five-year absence continue to appear on the student's transcript. However, the following adjustments are made: 1. Any credit earned for these courses is removed: 2. These course grades do not count in any GPA calculations; 3. On the transcript, each of these courses is assigned a status of GRP (Grade Relief Policy) and; 4. On the transcript, at the end of the session immediately preceding the absence, the following notation is added: Grade Relief Request Granted. Grade relief applies to all courses taken prior to the minimum five-year absence. Grade relief may be granted only once to a student during their studies at Brandon University. EXAMINATIONS FINAL EXAMINATION PERIOD The complete policy governing examinations can be found at https://www.brandonu.ca/senate-office/senate-policies/. Each term has a Senate-approved final examination period as published in the Important Dates section of the Undergraduate and Graduate Calendars. A Final Examination Schedule indicating examination dates and times will be produced by the Registrar’s Office and published to the 30 GENERAL REGULATIONS Registrar’s Office website at the same time that the Registration Guide is published. Examination locations will be finalized and published to the Registrar’s Office website a minimum of one month before the final examination period. Final examinations will be written at the time and location fixed for individual examinations as published in the Final Examination Schedule. Final examinations will be scheduled to ensure a minimum break of two hours between the end of one examination and the beginning of another. No test/examination or series of tests/examinations worth cumulatively more than the value indicated in the chart below shall be held in the seven calendar days preceding the final day of classes for the term as published in the appropriate academic calendar: Faculty Arts Education Health Studies Music Science Maximum Test/Exam Value 10 50 30 25 20 Any request for exemption from this regulation must be submitted to and approved by the Faculty/School Dean whose decision shall be final. Tests/examinations held in class outside of the final examination period may not extend beyond the normal timetable slot in which the course is scheduled. Except for applied juries, as required by the School of Music, no final examinations shall be scheduled between the last day of classes and the first day of the examination period. Take-home examinations must be submitted to the instructor within the final examination period, on the date indicated in the Final Examination Schedule. EXAMINATION LOCATIONS For security and academic integrity reasons, examinations will normally be scheduled in the Healthy Living Centre (HLC) and the largest classrooms on campus. Upon instructor request and if space permits, examinations may be scheduled in the classroom in which the course was normally held. Instructors who require a specific examination location due to particular technological or physical requirements (such as sound systems, artifact displays, etc.) must make such a request to the Registrar’s Office not later than 10 days after the add/drop deadline for the term in which the course is offered. ATTENDANCE AT FINAL EXAMINATIONS All students are responsible for consulting the Final Examination Schedule and ensuring they are available and present for each of their scheduled examinations. Students are expected to write final examinations in every course in which they are registered for which a final examination has been scheduled. In situations where medical, compassionate, or other circumstances beyond their control make it impossible for a student to write the final examination as scheduled without undue hardship, the student may request a deferred examination according to the regulations outlined in section 3.13.8 of this policy. EXAMINATION CONFLICTS & SCHEDULING HARDSHIPS While the Registrar’s Office will prepare an examination schedule that is as conflict-free as possible, occasions may arise where examination conflicts (two or more examinations scheduled at the same time for the same student) or scheduling hardships (examinations in three or more consecutive exam slots for the same student) are inevitable. In the case of an examination conflict or scheduling hardship, the student must inform the Registrar’s Office as soon as they become aware of the conflict/hardship and not later than 10 days following the term’s course add/drop deadline. The Registrar’s Office will work with the student and the course instructor(s), consulting with Department Chairs/Program Coordinators and/or Deans as appropriate, to reschedule one or more of the examinations in order to alleviate the conflict/hardship. The Registrar’s Office will communicate the alternate arrangements to the student within two weeks of the student submitting notice of conflict/hardship. Should the student not find the proposed resolution satisfactory, the student may submit an appeal to the Undergraduate Student Appeals Committee (USAC) no later than two weeks after receiving notification of the proposed resolution from the Registrar’s Office. The decision of the USAC is final. RELIGIOUS/SPIRITUAL ACCOMMODATIONS Where a student is unable to attend a scheduled examination due to religious/spiritual observance, the student must inform the Registrar’s Office and provide appropriate supporting documentation as soon as they become aware of the conflict and not later than 10 days after the term’s course add/drop deadline. The Registrar’s office will work with the student and the course instructor(s), consulting with Department Chairs/Program Coordinators and/or Deans as appropriate, to reschedule the affected examination(s). The Registrar’s Office will communicate the alternate arrangements to the student within two weeks of the student submitting notice of conflict/hardship. Should the student not find 31 GENERAL REGULATIONS the proposed resolution satisfactory, the student may submit an appeal to the Undergraduate Student Appeals Committee (USAC) no later than two weeks after receiving notification of the proposed resolution from the Registrar’s Office. The decision of the USAC is final. EXAMINATIONS SCHEDULED THROUGH ACCESSIBILITY SERVICES Students who are registered with Student Accessibility Services and who receive examination accommodations will schedule their final examinations according to Student Accessibility Services test and examination procedures. All regulations related to examination attendance apply (section 3.13.3). UNIVERSITY CLOSURE & INCLEMENT WEATHER In the rare event that the University is closed during the final examination period for any reason, the Registrar’s Office will determine alternate scheduling for the affected examinations. Normally, the rescheduled examinations will take place on the next available day upon which no exam is scheduled (Sunday included). The revised examination schedule will be published on the Registrar’s Office website. Students are expected to be aware of weather conditions and make every reasonable effort to attend all scheduled examinations. However, should inclement weather create conditions that preclude a student from attending an examination (such as closed highways, travel advisories, etc.), the student must formally request a deferred examination as described in section 3.13.8. DEFFERED EXAMINATIONS A student who is unable to attend a final examination as a result of medical, compassionate, or other circumstances beyond their control that make it impossible to write the final examination as scheduled without undue hardship may request a deferred examination. No later than 48 hours after the start of the exam, the student must contact the instructor to request a deferred examination. Submission of appropriate documentation may be required. If the instructor denies the request, the student may appeal to the Dean of the Faculty/School offering the course. If the Dean denies the request, the student may appeal to the Undergraduate Student Appeals Committee (USAC). The decisions of USAC are final. A deferred examination must be written within three months from the last day of the examination period in which the original examination was held. In the case of irregularly scheduled courses, a deferred examination must be written within three months from the last day of class in the course. It is the instructor’s responsibility to determine and communicate to the student the date, time, and location of the deferred examination. Only deferred examinations for students registered with Student Accessibility Services may be scheduled in the Student Accessibility Services office. When a request for deferred examination is granted, the instructor will indicate on the electronic grade form both the date by which the final course grade will be entered following the deferred examination and the course grade that will be applied if the course grade is not submitted by that date. In cases where medical, compassionate, or other circumstances beyond the student’s control make it impossible to write the deferred examination as scheduled without undue hardship, the Dean of the Faculty/School offering the course may, in consultation with the instructor, grant an extension of up to three months. The student must submit any further extension request, along with a letter of support from the instructor, to the Undergraduate Student Appeals Committee (USAC). The decisions of USAC are final. SUPPLEMENTAL EXAMINATIONS In rare circumstances where, due to medical, compassionate, or other circumstances beyond their control, a student has failed to achieve a final examination mark considered to be representative of his/her ability as demonstrated throughout the duration of the course, the instructor, Department Chair/Program Coordinator, and Dean may provide written authorization for the student to write a supplemental examination. A Supplemental Examination Form must be submitted to the Registrar’s Office within 21 days of the official publication of final grades for the course. All supplemental examinations must be written within 14 days of form submission, except in cases where enforcement of this timeframe would create undue hardship for the student. ACADEMIC DISHONESTY AND MISCONDUCT Academic integrity is an essential part of University life. Academic dishonesty and misconduct will not be tolerated. Brandon University supports students, instructors and administrators in their efforts to preserve this institution as a community of scholars. Actions which constitute academic dishonesty and/or misconduct are considered an offence within Brandon University and include: 1. Plagiarism, which includes, but is not limited to: • Work which is submitted or presented in partial fulfillment of course/degree requirements as one’s own work that was completed, in whole or in part, by another individual • Portions of the work extracted from another source without proper and full credits to the original author (e.g. concepts, sentences, 32 GENERAL REGULATIONS graphics, data, ideas presented through paraphrase) • The entirety of the work copied from another source • The submission of work in one course that has been or is simultaneously being submitted for credit in another course without the expressed written permission of all instructors involved (in such cases the entirety of the work may originate with the student; nevertheless, the academic offence of plagiarism has occurred) 2. Cheating, this includes, but is not limited to: • Using, giving, receiving, or the attempt to use, give or receive unauthorized information during an examination in oral, written or other form • Copying an essay, examination, report or like form of evaluation • Allowing another to copy an essay, examination, report or like form of evaluation • Impersonating another person in an examination or test and/or serving as a confederate in such activities • Buying or otherwise obtaining term papers or assignments for submission as one’s own • Giving false reasons for absence (e.g. from an in-class test, final examination, required classroom activities) 3. Falsifying Records, this includes, but is not limited to: • Misrepresenting one’s credentials • Submitting false documents or falsifying academic records, transcripts or other University documents • Falsifying documents from outside agencies required for the work of the University (e.g. medical notes, letters of reference) 4. Research Misconduct, which includes, but is not limited to: • Fabrication or falsification of research data (or materials) • Making a statement of fact or reference to a source which has been fabricated • Failure to comply with University policies as they apply to research ethics, human subjects, animal subjects, intellectual property, or computer usage • Failure to recognize through due acknowledgement the substantive contribution of others • The use or appropriation of the unpublished work or data of other researchers without permission. Use of archival material in violation of the rules of the archival source • Removal of books or other library materials without authorization • Destruction, mutilation or intentional misplacement of library material. Withdrawal from a course will not preclude proceedings related to alleged cases of academic dishonesty. The right to withdraw shall be withheld (or in exceptional circumstances revoked) when an academic offence is alleged. Where the allegation is not supported by a preponderance of the evidence, a student’s right to withdraw will be re-instated and shall apply retroactively to the date the academic offence was alleged. Note: The complete Policy on Academic Dishonesty and Misconduct, including the procedures to be followed when a violation of the policy is alleged, is available on the Senate Office website and in the Offices of the Deans and University Registrar. PENALTIES Sanctions levied by the University and their severity are determined in relation to the degree of the offence committed or attempted, the intentionality of the participant(s), recidivism, and/or the degree to which an individual has been party to attempted or committed acts of academic dishonesty. A student who is determined to be responsible for academic dishonesty or misconduct (AD) may be subject to the imposition of one or more of the following: a) requirement to repeat the assignment or examination, with or without grade reduction b) assignment of a grade of zero in the assignment, test or exam c) assignment of "F-AD" in the course in which the offence is committed d) suspension from some or all courses in which a final grade has not been entered and the assignment of "F-AD" in all such courses e) suspension from all Brandon University teams, clubs or like organizations for a period of 1 to 5 years f) suspension from the Faculty/School for a period of 1 to 5 years g) expulsion from the Faculty/School h) suspension from the University for a period of 1 to 5 years i) expulsion from the University j) cancellation or revocation of degree. This list is exemplary and does not restrict the Dean, President or Senate (or a committee thereof) from imposing additional penalties as may be warranted by exceptional individual cases. 33 GENERAL REGULATIONS TRANSCRIPT NOTATION Where sanction c) or d) (above) is applied, a grade of "F-AD" (Academic Dishonesty) will be entered on the student’s transcript. Upon successful completion of a degree program or five years after the sanction was applied, whichever occurs first, the grade of "F-AD" will be converted to "F". STUDENT APPEAL PROCESSES GRADE APPEALS Where a student wishes to appeal the final grade received in a course (excluding Music or Fine Arts courses culminating in a jury, concert or thesis exhibition), they should first consult with the course instructor. After this discussion, if the student still believes the grade is inappropriate and wishes to appeal it, they may do so by submitting a written request to the Dean of the Faculty/School in which the course is offered. This request must be submitted within 30 days of the date on which the final course grade was issued. The Dean will consult with the Instructor concerned and otherwise investigate the matter. If the Dean believes it is warranted, they will ask one or two other members of the department concerned to review the course grade and provide a recommendation. The Dean will then make a decision and so inform the student, submitting a change of grade if such action is applicable. If the student is dissatisfied with the action taken by the Dean, they may submit an Undergraduate Student Appeal Form to the Senate Office and pay the required fee. Normally, this must be done within 14 days of receiving the Dean’s decision. The student will submit written reasons why they believe a change of grade is warranted. The appeal will be heard by the Undergraduate Student Appeals Committee (USAC), following such procedures as the Committee may from time to time establish for hearing appeals. The Committee will request a written statement from the Dean as to their reasons for rejecting the appeal, and will subsequently review both this statement and the statement provided by the student. The Committee will render a decision which shall be final. ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE & REGULATION APPEALS Where a student wishes to appeal the application of any academic regulation, they will submit an Undergraduate Student Appeal Form to the Senate Office and pay the required fee unless this fee is waived by the Registrar or designate. The appeal form will be accompanied by a written statement as to the regulation being appealed, the reasons for the appeal, and the remedy sought. The appeal will be heard by the Undergraduate Student Appeals Committee (USAC), following such procedures as the Committee may from time to time establish for hearing appeals. The Committee’s decision shall be final. STUDENT GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES The following procedure shall be followed in the event that a student has a valid, well-considered academic type of grievance against a faculty or staff member. This policy does not apply to grade appeals and appeals of academic regulations, which follow their own procedures described in this section of the calendar. Examples of academic types of grievances to which this appeal process would apply include, but are not limited to, professors requiring student attendance at class outside of times published in the Registration Guide or submission of coursework not outlined in the course syllabus. 1. The student shall first approach the faculty or staff member in order to discuss the issue and to work out the problem themselves. 2. If the student is not satisfied with the outcome of discussion with the faculty or staff member or feels uncomfortable approaching that individual, the student may seek advice or support from a representative from the Brandon University Students’ Union (BUSU). A second attempt should then be made to solve the problem directly with the faculty or staff member in question. 3. If further action is needed, either party may approach the Chair (or designate) of the department to which the faculty or staff member belongs. The Chair shall hear the student(s) and the faculty or staff member separately or jointly (if necessary) before reaching a decision. A BUSU representative may advise and represent the student. 4. If a mutually agreeable outcome cannot be reached through this process, the matter should be referred to the Dean of the Faculty/School. A BUSU representative may advise and represent the student. The faculty or staff member may also seek support from a colleague or their union representative. 5. The final step of appeal is to the Undergraduate Student Appeals Committee (USAC). In all matters the decision of this Senate Committee is final. ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE The progress of a student in the first undergraduate degree program is determined by the letter grade point system (see section 3.12.3). Credits earned in any session will be reported by letter grade. Students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.00 or better to proceed as a student in good standing at the University. See section 3.17.2 for details on how GPAs are calculated. Minimum GPA required to continue in specific degrees or majors may vary. Consult the relevant program sections of this calendar for details. In progressing towards a degree, a student: 34 GENERAL REGULATIONS 1. must meet the curriculum requirements for the degree sought; and 2. must meet a minimum academic performance requirement based upon an assessment of the academic performance at the end of each session. ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT After completion of 24 credit hours or more, all students will be assessed at the end of the Regular Session for a minimum academic performance level based on the Academic Performance Table in section 3.17. Performance will be assessed on all courses taken during the academic year (i.e. the Regular Session plus the preceding Spring and Summer sessions), if applicable. According to the cumulative grade point average obtained from the credit hours attempted, students will be assigned status as listed below in section 3.17.1. MATURE STUDENTS Mature students must obtain “C” grades in at least 12 of the 24 credit hours of attempts AND must meet the minimum Academic Performance Requirements for the number of credit hours attempted. Mature students who obtain “ C” grades in 12 credit hours will be allowed to proceed as Regular students, subject to the requirements of the Academic Performance Table. Mature students who have failed to attain 12 credit hours of “C” grades in the prescribed 24 credit hours have not met the requirements for promotion to Regular status and are, therefore, placed on Academic Suspension. Such students must formally reapply to the University in order to be considered for readmission (see section 2.1). Requests for readmission will be considered jointly by the appropriate Faculty/School Dean, the Registrar (or designate), and the appropriate Faculty/School BUSU Senator (or, in the event of a BUSU Senator vacancy, a member of the BUSU Executive). Joint decisions may be appealed to the Undergraduate Student Appeals Committee (USAC), the decisions of which are final. SECOND DEGREE STUDENTS Students who take courses towards a second undergraduate degree, or the B.Ed. (A.D.) are required to achieve a minimum sessional grade point average of 2.0. Students will be assessed at the end of the session in which they have completed 18 credit hours or more and each session thereafter. Students who obtain a sessional GPA of less than 2.00 will be placed on Academic Probation. If a student has been placed on Academic Probation and fails to achieve a 2.00 sessional in the subsequent session, that student will be placed on Academic Suspension for a period of one calendar year (12 months). Students who have been suspended are required to have the permission of their academic Dean in order to re-register after the period of Suspension. Students who, after Suspension, fail to achieve a sessional GPA of 2.00 after returning from Suspension will be placed on Academic Withdrawal from the University for a period of 36 months. These regulations came into effect for students commencing a second undergraduate degree, or the B.Ed. (A.D.) as of May 1988, whose first registration in one of these programs is dated May 1988 or later.

ACADEMIC SUSPENSION Students will be placed on Academic Suspension if they have, for all credit hours attempted to date, a cumulative grade point average of less than the minimum academic performance requirement Such students will be suspended from the University for a minimum of 12 months. Students will be placed on Academic Suspension if, while on Probation, they obtain less than a 2.00 grade point average over the academic year. Students who have been suspended will be readmitted on Academic Probation. ACADEMIC WITHDRAWAL Students will be placed on Academic Withdrawal if, after having been readmitted from Suspension they have: 1. Failed in a subsequent session to meet the minimum academic performance requirement for all credit hours attempted to date. 2. Failed to obtain a minimum of a 2.00 grade point average on courses taken during the academic year. 3. Accumulated more than 48 credit hours of F's and/or repeat courses. Such students will be required to withdraw from the University for a minimum of 36 months and must formally reapply to the University in order to be considered for readmission (see section 2.1). Requests for readmission will be considered jointly by the appropriate Faculty/School Dean, the Registrar (or designate), and the appropriate Faculty/School BUSU Senator (or, in the event of a BUSU Senator vacancy, a member of the BUSU Executive). Joint decisions may be appealed to the Undergraduate Student Appeals Committee (USAC), the decisions of which are final. ACADEMIC SUSPENSION OR WITHDRAWAL FOLLOWING SPRING/SUMMER SESSION In the case of a student who is placed on Academic Suspension or Withdrawal on the basis of completion of a small number of credit hours during the Spring/Summer Session, the Registrar (or designate) may exercise their discretion and allow the student to continue on Academic Probation. Where the Registrar decides not to allow the student to continue on probation, the student retains the option of appealing to the Undergraduate Student Appeals Committee (USAC) in the usual manner. ACADEMIC AND SERVICE RECOGNITION SERVICE LEARNING In June 2005, the Brandon University Senate recognized the value of Service Learning to students, the institution, and the larger community by approving the addition of a Service Learning annotation to the official transcript of students who successfully complete an approved volunteer experience. Students interested in receiving Service Learning recognition for a project that integrates their learning with hands-on experience in a community organization should apply to the Service Learning Committee for approval of their project. Approval must be granted in advance of the project in order for there to be a formal notation. Applications can be found on the University website or from the Outreach Coordinator, Rural Development Institute. Service Learning is recognized throughout North America as an educational movement that helps to strengthen communities while offering students a valuable opportunity to integrate theory and practice. Both secondary schools and post-secondary institutions are now promoting and rewarding their students' commitment to meaningful volunteerism. DEAN’S HONOUR LIST Students in Arts, Science, Music, Health Studies, Education and General Studies who in the May 1st to April 30th period complete a minimum of 24 credit hours and obtain a minimum of 3.50 or better on all courses completed in that period will be placed on the Dean’s Honour List. Part-time students who complete a minimum of 24 credit hours in consecutive registrations and obtain from those courses a minimum GPA of 3.50 will be placed on the Dean’s Honour List which next follows this achievement. This achievement will be noted on the student's transcript and will be confirmed annually by a letter from the Dean/Coordinator recognizing this accomplishment. A student who is academically dismissed or barred from a course or courses within the year concerned will not be placed on the Dean’s Honour List for that year. The University may publish this information. Should a student not want this information publicized, please contact the appropriate Dean’s Office. 36 GENERAL REGULATIONS PRESIDENT’S HONOUR SOCIETY Students in Arts, Science, Music, Health Studies, and Education who in the May 1st to April 30th period complete a minimum of 24 credit hours and obtain a GPA of 4.00 or better on all courses completed in that period will be inducted into the President’s Honour Society. Part-time students who complete a minimum of 24 credit hours in consecutive registrations and obtain from those courses a GPA of 4.00 or better will be inducted into the President’s Honour Society, which next follows this achievement. This achievement will be noted on the student's transcript and will be confirmed annually by a letter from the President recognizing this accomplishment. A student who is academically dismissed or barred from a course or courses within the year concerned will not be inducted into the President’s Honour Society for that year. BRANDON UNIVERSITY HONOUR SOCIETY In the Spring of 2011, Brandon University celebrated its 100th convocation. In recognition of this institutional milestone, the Senate established the Brandon University Honour Society. Students are inducted into the Society at Convocation. To be eligible for induction students shall have maintained membership in either the Dean’s Honours List or the President’s Honour Society in each May 1st to April 30 period of study at Brandon University. Only students in a first undergraduate degree are eligible for this award. This achievement will be noted on the student’s transcript and recognized at Convocation. STUDENTS OF DISTINCTION Students who receive an undergraduate degree (with the exception of the Bachelor of Education (After Degree)) from Brandon University will receive the honour designations of: Greatest Distinction - graduate with an average of 3.90 or better; Great Distinction - graduate with an average of 3.80 or better; or Distinction - graduate with an average of 3.70 or better. GRADUATION APPLICATION FOR GRADUATION Every candidate for a degree shall make formal application for graduation online through the Student Information Portal. There is no graduation fee. To be eligible to graduate at any Convocation, all courses must be successfully completed by the conclusion of the preceding term. See the Important Dates (see SECTION 1) for graduation application deadlines. Applications received after these dates will be deferred to the next Convocation. Students deemed ineligible to graduate after having applied must re-apply to graduate when they meet the requirements. October graduands will be approved annually at the October meeting of Senate and February graduands will be approved at the February meeting of Senate. Although there is no formal graduation ceremony at these times, invitations will be extended to October and February graduands to attend the following Spring Convocation. GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS It is the students' responsibility to ensure that all graduation requirements have been met.

Co-op students apply the concepts and theories they learn in the classroom to relevant, real world situations to broaden their academic and professional experiences. Brandon University is a member of the Co-operative Education and Work-Integrated Learning Canada (CEWIL Canada) and subscribes to the following criteria: • Each work term is developed in partnership with the employer and approved by the Co-operative Education Program as a suitable learning environment; • The student is engaged in productive work for which the student receives remuneration; • The co-op curriculum supports student learning goals, personal evaluation and reflection; • The student's performance in the workplace is supervised and evaluated by the student's employer; • The student's progress during their work term is monitored by the co-operative education program; • Both work and academic terms are full-time and follow a formalized sequence. The total amount of co-op work experience is normally at least 30% of the time spent in academic study. A work term is defined as a minimum of 12 weeks and/or 420 hours full-time paid experience; • Co-op programs begin and end with an academic term. ELIGIBILITY & ADMISSION GENERAL ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA All full-time Brandon University students in good standing and enrolled in a 4-Year or 4-Year (Honours) degree with a declared major in one of the participating disciplines are eligible to apply for admission to the co-op program.

Acceptance into the Co-operative Education Program is based on program availability, academic performance, as well as completion of required courses. Full application details and timelines are available on the Co-operative Education Program website. TRANSFER STUDENTS Students who have transferred to Brandon University from an accredited post-secondary institution are eligible to apply to the Co-operative Education Program. Students who have successfully completed at least one work term or equivalent at the institution from which they transferred may be exempt from their first work term semester at Brandon University with permission from the Co-op Office. Students transferring into the Co-op program from another institution are required to complete the Professional Development Series prior to enrolling in a work term at Brandon University. PROGRAM STRUCTURE The Co-operative Education Program consists of several components as described below . PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT SERIES This introductory series of workshops focuses on tools and techniques for uncovering employment opportunities, navigating the job search process, self-marketing, communication, and other topics. Participation is mandatory; only those who complete the specified number of workshops are permitted to continue in the program and register in the first work term. PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITIES A number of seminars, workshops, and interactive activities will be offered to students in the Co-operative Education Program. Participation is mandatory, as described in the Co-op Student Manual. WORK TERMS Students must complete a minimum of three work terms, each of which is typically 12 to 16 weeks of paid, full-time (35 hours/week) employment completed during the Spring/Summer terms. While enrolled in work terms, co-op students retain full-time student status at Brandon University. At the end of every work term, the student develops and delivers a presentation to employers, faculty, and colleagues/peers. Work term courses are credit courses that may count towards the elective requirements of the student’s degree program, to a maximum of 9 credit hours. They cannot count towards fulfillment of the student’s major, minor, or Liberal Education requirements. 44 FACULTIES OF ARTS AND SCIENCE WORK TERM COURSES 99:151 Co-op Work Term I (3 credit hours) 99:251 Co-op Work Term II (3 credit hours) 99:351 Co-op Work Term III (3 credit hours) WORK TERM POSITIONS The University will engage with potential employers to develop co-op work term positions, and while every effort is made to secure work placements, the University cannot guarantee employment as the hiring process is competitive and subject to market conditions. Accordingly, the University will guide and encourage students to seek out their own employment opportunities as part of their professional development plan. To ensure productive, suitable placements, the Co-op Office must review and approve all employment positions in advance of the work term. WORK TERM EVALUATION Co-op work term courses are graded on a pass/fail basis by the Co-operative Education Coordinator. These grades are not included in any GPA calculations. Successful completion includes a passing grade comprised of a student self-evaluation, employer’s performance report and presentation and compliance with minimum standards of participation. Employer evaluations are confidential and are not reported on the student’s transcript. The job performance report will be completed by the employer, using guidelines supplied by Brandon University’s Co-op Office. It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that the employer sends the completed evaluation to the Co-op Coordinator supervising the placement. WITHDRAWAL FROM A WORK TERM Once registered, students may withdraw from a Co-op work term within the first three weeks only with the approval of the Co-operative Education Coordinator. Such a withdrawal will be designated by VW (Voluntary Withdrawal) on the transcript. After the first three weeks, students may withdraw from a Co-op work term only for extenuating circumstances beyond their control and with the approval of the Cooperative Education Coordinator. Such a withdrawal will be designated by AW (Authorized Withdrawal) on the transcript. Withdrawal without approval at any point will result in a failing grade. PROGRAM CONTINUATION AND COMPLETION Once accepted to the Co-operative Education Program, students must maintain their respective major’s minimum cumulative GPA in order to remain in the co-op program and to participate in any of the program’s professional development activities. All co-op students are responsible for enrolling in the appropriate co-operative education course, following the policies and procedures outlined in the Co-op Student Manual, informing Brandon University when accepting any co-op employment position, and participating in all professional development sessions facilitated by the Co-op Office. Students may be terminated from a Co-op program for unprofessional conduct, failing a work term, falling below department-specific requirements, or committing acts of Non-Academic Misconduct. Successful completion of the co-op program includes a passing grade (comprised of a student self-evaluation, employer’s performance report and presentation) for each work term and compliance with minimum standards of participation as described in the Co-op Student Manual. All work terms must be completed before the student’s final academic semester, and a student’s final term before graduation cannot be a work term. It may take longer than 4 years to complete the minimum 120 credit hours required to complete a student’s degree. CO-OP RECOGNITION ON THE ACADEMIC RECORD Successful completion of the Co-operative Education Program is reflected in the student’s academic record, including on the transcript and degree parchment. TUITION AND FEES There is a one-time, non-refundable program fee paid upon admission to Co-op. This is not a placement fee, but rather, covers the cost of administrative and operational services. Co-op students also pay normal tuition and fees for each work term. Please consult the Co-operative Education section on the Brandon University website for the application form, the Co-op Student Manual, as well as important dates, deadlines, and updates. 4-YEAR BACHELOR OF ARTS (HONOURS) OR SCIENCE (HONOURS) DEGREE Following admission, a student may obtain a 4-year Bachelor of Arts (Honours) or Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree by satisfactorily completing 120 credit hours of coursework, subject to the regulations set forth within the requirements for that degree. 45 FACULTIES OF ARTS AND SCIENCE Although considerable freedom exists in the choice of individual courses in degree programs, certain regulations exist to ensure that the programs meet overall objectives and are adequately balanced, and also to establish minimum acceptable standards of student achievement.

The principles and practices of sustainable economic, social and environmental development are examined in relation to environmental, technical and/or human-induced hazards and disasters. The course brings an international perspective to consideration of how global, national and local development decisions affect the risk of disaster and how hazard mitigation, disaster impacts, and post-disaster relief and recovery processes in turn affect development. Case studies from lesser developed countries and regions as well as affluent societies are used to help students develop a critical perspective on the inter-relationships between development and disaster at the regional, national and local levels. Good practices, successful strategies and the preconditions for social change to reduce disaster risk are emphasized. 3 lecture hours per week, one term. 40:453 DISASTER RISK COMMUNICATION (3) Prerequisite: 40:253 or permission of Instructor. This course presents students both theoretical and applied issues in disaster risk communication. Four main questions will be explored: Who 68 APPLIED DISASTER & EMERGENCY STUDIES (40) creates what kinds of information about hazards and disasters, how and why? What must emergency managers and the public, respectively, know and when? How and to whom would this information be communicated, why and when? What lessons have disaster researchers learned about how people, organizations, communities and governments move from knowledge to action? Of particular interest in this class are emergency warning systems, community education strategies, barriers to effective communication and new innovations, cultural diversity and other concerns of the risk communicator. Drawing on national and international case studies, students will examine these issues in diverse cultural and institutional contexts. 3 lecture hours per week, one term. 40:454 INTERNATIONAL COMPARISONS IN EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT (3) Prerequisite: 40:352 or permission of Instructor. This course provides students with the opportunity to compare emergency management systems in different countries or jurisdictions. Examining the current practices in different settings will highlight how emergency management is linked to the broader physical, political, economic and social context.

General Information The Department of Biology offers 3-year and 4-year B.Sc. degree programs within which the Biological Science Stream and the Biomedical Science Stream are recognized. Students entering Biology should select one of these two streams toward the end of their first year. The objectives of the Biological Science Stream are to provide students with a broad understanding of the major fields in Biology (e.g., biodiversity, genetics, cell biology, ecology, evolution, physiology, and phylogenetic systematics) and how these fields intersect with those in related disciplines and to prepare students for careers in agriculture, education, food protection, government, industry, research, and other fields that rely on expertise in the life sciences. The objectives of the Biomedical Science Stream are to prepare students to work in biomedical / health related research or employment sectors and for a health professional program (e.g., optometry, medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, physiotherapy, chiropractic therapy, veterinary medicine). The course requirements for these streams are provided below. The 4-Year degree programs are recommended for students considering academic or research careers in the biological or biomedical sciences, or who intend to continue to advanced degrees. The 3-Year program is appropriate for students intending to enroll in an after-degree program such as the Bachelor of Education (A.D.) or in programs leading to employment with regional health authorities, law enforcement agencies, or the private sector. Both the 3-Year and 4-Year programs meet the requirements for entry into many professional and clinical programs. The minor in Biology is intended to complement a major in another discipline. A Co-operative Education (Co-op) option is available for students enrolled in the 4-Year Major and 4-Year Major (Honours). See the Cooperative 70 BIOLOGY (15) Education Program (page 43). Students are encouraged to contact their department to discuss program details and department specific co-op requirements and timelines. General Requirements Students entering the Biology program are required to have completed Senior 4 Biology, English, Mathematics and Chemistry, or their equivalents. Students not meeting these requirements (particularly Mature students) may apply to the department for exemption. Students wishing a major or minor in Biology must obtain a grade of “C” or better in both 15:162 and 15:163 before proceeding to the second year of the Biology program. Professional certification is required for Biologists in British Columbia and Alberta currently – check those provinces for requirements. Please note the general regulations of the University in SECTION 3. Required Courses in Biology The Biological Science Stream and the Biomedical Science Stream are complemented by a common set of core courses. Each major is required to take 24 CH of required courses in Biology including 15:162 Cells, Genetics and Evolution (minimum grade of ‘C’), 15:163 Biodiversity, Functions and Interactions (minimum grade of ‘C’), 15:282 Principles of Genetics, 15:273 General Ecology, 15:350 Evolution, 15:370 Molecular Cell Biology and 6 CH of either 15:262 Plant Biology, or 15:267 Animal Diversity or 15:269 Microbiology. These courses reflect core themes in the discipline of Biology, common to Biology programs across Canadian universities, and ensure that all majors, whether Biological Science or Biomedical Science, have a strong preparation in these core areas.

As the death toll from infectious disease has declined in the Western world, cancer has become the second leading cause of death, topped only by heart disease. In most organs and tissues of a mature animal, a balance is maintained between cell renewal and cell death. The various types of mature cells in the body have a given life span; as these cells die new cells are generated by the proliferation and differentiation of various types of stem cells. This cell growth and proliferation are essential for wound healing and homeostasis. Under normal circumstances in the adult, the production of new cells is regulated so that the number of any particular cell type remains fairly constant. Occasionally, however cells arise that no longer respond to normal growth control mechanisms; these cells proliferate in an unregulated manner, giving rise to cancer. This course will provide a comprehensive examination of the cancer cell and the mechanism(s) of cancer. Some topics to be discussed include tumor cells and the onset of cancer, the genetic basis of cancer, cancer and the misregulation of growth regulatory pathways, cancer and mutation of cell division and checkpoint regulators, and carcinogens and caretaker genes in cancer. 3 lecture hours per week, one term. 15:453 DRUGS AND BEHAVIOUR (3) Prerequisite: 15:361 and 18:363.

In so doing, we think about a range of questions including what it means to read literature that is queer, queer authorship, the reasons for studying Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Queer (LGBTQ) literature in its own space, and why this course is itself always already a problem. What does it mean, politically, to imagine that queer literature isn’t already found in “literature”? Why do we study “it” in isolation? Do LGBTQ authors write differently? If so, how? Is there a queer style? gay style? lesbian style? Conversely, does the task of “queer literature” fall on the reader; that is, is there a queer, gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans* way of reading? At bottom, we are asking about two concepts that may not come together: queer and literature. Authors to be studied may include Virginia Woolf, Marcel Proust, Jeannette Winterson, Manuel Puig, James Baldwin, Alison Bechdel, Wayne Koestenbaum, Shyam Selvadurai, etc. Cross-registered with (Gender and Women's Studies) 36:346. 3 lecture hours per week one term. 30:348 ENGL THE JOY OF TEXT: LITERATURE AND SEXUALITY (3) Prerequisite: 6 credit hours of English literature (ENGL) or permission of Instructor.

Emphasis will fall on the historical context for each theorist, but we will also de-contextualize, finding where seemingly superseded theories still address contemporary concerns. 3 lecture hours per week, one term. 30:387 ENGL ALTERNATE WORLDS (3) Prerequisite: 6 credit hours in first-year English literature (ENGL) or permission of Instructor. We will examine a rich series of “scenario-spinning” works, in which authors create worlds that are neither completely fantastic nor fully representative of our own world. Fiction to be studied could include Mitchell, Cloud Atlas; McCarthy, The Road; Chabon, The Yiddish Policemen's Union; Vonarburg, The Maerlande Chronicles. Films could include Wenders & Handke, Wings of Desire (Der Himmel über Berlin) and Jeunet & Laurant, Amélie (Le fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain). Titles may change with little notice. 3 lecture hours per week, one term. 30:388 ENGL AESTHETICS AND LITERARY THEORY (3) Prerequisite: 6 credit hours in English literature (ENGL) or Philosophy or 32:165 or 32:166 and 32:254 or permission of Instructor. In this study of aesthetics and literary theory, students will examine a number of critical issues and questions concerning the philosophy of art and literature, including: What is a work of art or literature? What standards do we use to determine whether such created works are beautiful, bad or profane? How do we differentiate between great works of art and other forms of popular art? What is the purpose of art in society and culture? Cross-registered with (Fine Art) 32:388 and (Philosophy) 70:388. 3 lecture hours per week, one term. 30:391 ENGL COMMONWEALTH LITERATURE (3) Prerequisite: 6 credit hours in first-year English literature (ENGL) or permission of Instructor. A study of the wide variety of writing in English outside of Europe and North America. The course will include short stories, poetry, and several novels, possibly Kiran Desai, The Inheritance of Loss (India); Chinua Achebe, Anthills of the Savannah (Nigeria); Chris Abani, Graceland (Nigeria); and V.S. Naipaul, The Mystic Masseur (Trinidad). Titles may change with little notice. 3 lecture hours per week, one term. 30:429 ENGL CHAUCER AND HIS CONTEMPORARIES (6) Prerequisite: 12 credit hours in English literature (ENGL) or permission of Instructor. A study of the major literary works of the fourteenth century. Works to be studied include selections from Chaucer, as well as Pearl, Cleanness, Patience, Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, and Piers Plowman. 3 lecture hours per week, both terms. 30:451 ENGL JANE AUSTEN (3) Prerequisite: 12 credit hours in English literature (ENGL) or permission of Instructor. This seminar course provides an opportunity to study Jane Austen’s fiction with focus and concentration, examining her contributions to the 134 ENGLISH & CREATIVE WRITING (30) novel form and to women’s writing. We will take a cultural, historical, and feminist approach to Austen’s writing, interpreting her work within the context of the Regency period in order to explore her reactions to her historical and cultural moment. We may take a brief look at some of her minor or incomplete works, but we will spend most of the course on her full-length novels, exploring her texts as individual works, while also considering intersections and departures among her novels in order to understand more fully Austen’s complexities. We may also give a little time to considering recent cinematic adaptations or reworkings inspired by Austen. Cross-registered with (Gender & Women’s Studies) 36:451. 3 lecture hours per week, one term. 30:452 ENGL EXPERIMENTAL CRITICISM: THE DESIRE TO WRITE (3) Prerequisite: 12 credit hours in English Literature (ENGL) or permission of Instructor. This course invites students to think about how we “critique” and “criticize”. What does it mean to write/think critically? More particularly, this course explores the limits of criticism and asks explicitly what it might mean to abandon some of the forms to which we have grown accustomed (i.e. the essay). Drawing on affect, feminist, and queer theories, students will read closely, creatively, critically, and carefully a range of authors, and we will consider how these authors write. Students will gain an appreciation of form, genre, and style. Topics to be considered include écriture féminine, embodied writing, fluidity, “the desire to write,” performative and periperformative, affect and emotion, rectal poetics, etc. Authors may include Roland Barthes, Ann Cvetkovich, Wayne Koestenbaum, Carol Mavor, Marcel Proust, Eve Kosofsky Sedgwick, Susan Sontag, and others. This course is writing and reading intensive. Students will produce short examples of experimental criticism on a weekly basis, as well as a longer term paper. Cross-registered with (Gender & Women’s Studies) 36:452. 3 lecture hours per week, one term. 30:453 ENGL POETRY AND PROSODY (3) Prerequisite: 12 credit hours in English Literature (ENGL) or permission of Instructor. This course will offer instruction in the use of traditional tools for prosodic analysis of poetry written in English, from Chaucer to the present. Special attention will be paid to the techniques of metrical analysis and the ways in which such analysis contributes to the reader’s discovery of poetic meaning. Using examples drawn from the entire poetic tradition, the course will explore ways of approaching meter and form. 3 lecture hours per week, one term. 30:454 ENGL THE BIRDS AND THE BEES: ANIMALS IN EARLY ENGLISH LITERATURE (3) Prerequisite: 12 credit hours in English literature (ENGL) or permission of Instructor. This course considers the role of animals in early English literature. Animals were farmed, hunted, feared, and revered, and they infiltrated all forms of literature. From the Middle Ages to the 18th century, what people knew, understood, and believed about animals was constantly shifting, and those shifts appear in the literature of the time period. This seminar course may consider such texts as Beware the Cat, The Duchess of Malfi, and selections from early modern broadside ballads to consider: what is an animal? What do animals tell us about early English society, literature, and culture? What is the relationship between animal, human, environment, God, state, etc.? 3 lecture hours per week, one term. 30:455 ENGL AMERICAN ABOLITIONISM Prerequisite: 12 credit hours in English literature (ENGL) or permission of Instructor. An examination of anti-slavery literature written in the decades immediately preceding the American Civil War with emphasis on abolitionist polemics, slave narratives, and abolitionist fiction, as well as some consideration of anti-abolitionist texts. 3 seminar hours per week, one term. (3) 30:459 CRWR ADVANCED SEMINAR IN CREATIVE WRITING (3) Prerequisite: 9 credit hours in Creative Writing (CRWR) and permission of Instructor.

An introduction to recent literary theories, including cognitive, structuralist, post-structuralist, psychoanalytic, feminist, queer, materialist, and evolutionary approaches. These theories will be examined in light of their aims, general principles, strengths, weaknesses, and critical statements by representative theorists. Although 30:386 History of Literary Criticism is recommended as an introduction to Contemporary Critical Theory, it is not a prerequisite. 3 lecture hours per week, one term. 30:475 ENGL BEOWULF: HEROES AND MONSTERS (3) Prerequisite: 30:374 or permission of Instructor. The Old English epic, Beowulf, is a foundational text in English literature and has become entrenched in today’s pop culture.

What does it mean, politically, to imagine that queer literature isn’t already found in “literature”? Why do we study “it” in isolation? Do LGBTQ authors write differently? If so, how? Is there a queer style? gay style? lesbian style? Conversely, does the task of “queer literature” fall on the reader; that is, is there a queer, gay, lesbian, bisexual, trans* way of reading?

The learned and shared concepts and behaviours that constitute culture influence virtually everything people think and do. Cultural geography is the study of spatial variations among culture groups and the interactions of those same groups with the physical environment. It is often organized around five themes. These are culture region, cultural diffusion, cultural ecology, cultural integration and cultural landscape. This course examines each of these themes as they relate to one or more dimensions of culture such as ethnicity, language, religion and settlement. 3 lecture hours per week, one term. 38:283 CANADA: A REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY (3) Prerequisite: Nil. Canada is a huge country. Although it is politically a single nation, it contains enormous diversity in both human and physical characteristics from place to place. It is therefore useful to divide the country into discrete areas which are relatively homogenous, that is, regions, in order to gain a greater understanding of the differences between places and the way such areas relate to one another. This course is an exploration of the geography of Canada through the use of the concept of the region as applied to this country. 3 lecture hours per week, one term. 38:286 GIS I – PRINCIPLES OF SPATIAL DATA AND CARTOGRAPHIC DESIGN (3) Prerequisite: 38:170 or 42:160 or permission of Instructor.

Canada's rural areas are complex social, economic, environmental, institutional, and physical systems that are experiencing varying forms of developmental stresses. But rural development issues have received limited focused attention in the recent past. This reflects our urbanizing settlement structure that often is indifferent to the concerns of those living outside metropolitan areas. This course redresses this balance by examining the reality of rural and small town Canada today. 3 lecture hours per week, one term. 38:373 BIOGEOGRAPHY AND WILDLIFE MANAGEMENT (3) Prerequisite: 38:192 or 38:273 or permission of Instructor. The first portion of the course explains the environmental factors that affect species diversity at spatial and temporal scales, including concepts such as biodiversity, communities & ecosystems, and island biogeography.

Scenarios for the future are examined. 3 lecture hours per week, one term. 38:381 URBAN GEOGRAPHY (3) Prerequisite: 38:180 or permission of Instructor. Currently, about half of the world's population lives in urban areas, and this percentage is steadily increasing. It is, therefore, not surprising that the study of urban settlements, and the effects of urban settlements on non- urban areas, has become one of the major fields in Geography. Urban Geography provides an introduction to the nature, scope, and methods of this field. The course looks at the historical and contemporary processes of urbanization, studies the external relationships of cities, and also deals with the internal structure of cities. Finally, a summary of urban problems will be given and patterns of future urbanization will be suggested.

Wetlands are particularly important to Canadians as 14% of Canada’s landmass is wetlands (nearly 40% in Manitoba). This course investigates the science behind wetland ecosystems, as well as their conservation and management. Students will complete an individual research project on a wetland topic that complements their undergraduate area of study. In addition to the prerequisite courses listed above, it is strongly recommended students be in their third or fourth year of their degree program. 3 lecture hours per week, one term. 38:463 RURAL TOURISM (3) Prerequisite: 38:294 or permission of Instructor. Tourism is a growing sector of the economy throughout the world. In Canada, national, provincial, territorial, and local strategies have been developed to tap the tourism market. Rural communities are no different in this regard, as local leaders attempt to diversify local economics. Often though, tourism is sought after as a reaction to declines in traditional, often resource-based, economics. The purpose of this course is to explore the notion of "rural tourism". While ultimate solutions are sought for rural Canada, the course will draw upon examples from around the world. The structure of the course includes formal lectures, seminar discussions, student presentations, guest speakers, and a group project. A field component to the course will be finalized by the second week of classes. Credit cannot be held for this course and 88:563/88:463. Cross-registered with (Rural & Community Studies) 88:463. 3 lecture hours per week, one term. 38:464 RURAL RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (3) Prerequisite: 38:290 or permission of Instructor. Rural Communities in Canada have traditionally been reliant on biophysical resources for economic bases. As resource supply and demand 178 GEOGRAPHY & ENVIRONMENT (38) changes, the future of resource-based communities comes into question. Examples in Canada abound, including the collapse of fisheries, mine closures, agricultural restructuring, and forest depletion. This course begins by reviewing historical and contemporary economic theories relevant to resource communities (e.g. Staples and Export-base theories). Using regional inventories, the current state of resources across Canada is explored (e.g. cod fishery, mine closures, farm structure). The course then examines the public policy implications of these issues (e.g. local economic development programs), as well as the regulatory framework for resource development in Canada (e.g. Environmental Impact Assessment processes). A seminar format is adopted. Credit cannot be held for this course and 88:564/88:464. Cross-registered with (Rural & Community Studies) 88:464. 3 seminar hours per week, one term. 38:471 THE RURAL-URBAN FRINGE (3) Prerequisite: Successful completion of 60 credit hours or permission of instructor. The rural-urban fringe is a region surrounding the city where there is a co-mingling of urban and rural land uses, lifestyles, and economic activities, and where conflict and controversy are often present. Examples of rural-urban interactions where problems emerge include: land use conflicts between urban and rural land use (e.g. between rural non-farm residents) and farmers, and economic concerns, such as development versus the preservation of rural space. Credit cannot be held for this course and 88:471 and 88:571. Cross-registered with (Rural & Community Studies). 3 lecture hours per week, one term. 38:476 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT AND REPORTING (3) Prerequisite: 38:192 or 42:272 and completion of 54 credit hours or permission of Instructor.

Ramsey, B.A., M.A. Ph.D. (Chair) ramsey@brandonu.ca K. Bessant, B.A., M.A., Ph.D. Associate Professor W. Robles, B.A., M.A., M.A., Ph.D. General Information The Rural and Community Studies Program (RCSP) provides students with the opportunity to design an individually tailored degree that combines rural and community studies with courses from traditional disciplines (e.g., Sociology and Geography). The purpose of this program is to provide students with a better understanding of the social, economic, and environmental issues facing rural regions and, in doing so, develop the skill base to assist those in rural regions to prepare for and adapt to such issues. Relationships with the graduate program in Rural Development allow students to gain practical experience through research work. Prior to entering the program, students must consult with the Coordinator, who will assist them in working out a plan of study that meets the university requirements as well as their own needs and interests. Please note the general regulations of the University in SECTION 3. The Programs Programs offered include: 3-year major, 4-year major, 4-year honours major, and minor (3-year and 4-year) (see below for pro- gram requirements). In addition to the core courses within the Department of Rural Development, the RCSP is based on collaboration with six other departments: Anthropology, Business Administration, Economics, Geography, Native Studies, Political Science, and Sociology. Courses in other departments may be approved based on student interest and need (e.g., Organizational Psychology). Students interested in the RCSP are encouraged to contact the Department of Rural Development for more details about how programs can be individually tailored to their interests.

Tourism is a growing sector of the economy throughout the world. In Canada, national, provincial, territorial, and local strategies have been developed to tap the tourism market. Rural communities are no different in this regard, as local leaders attempt to diversify local economies. Often though, tourism is sought after as a reaction to declines in traditional, often resource-based, economics. The purpose of this course is to explore the notion of "rural tourism". While ultimate solutions are sought for rural Canada, the course will draw upon examples from around the world. The structure of the course includes formal lectures, seminar discussions, student presentations, guest speakers, and a group project. A field component to the course will be finalized by the second week of classes. Credit cannot be held for both this course and 38:463 or 88:563. Cross-registered with (Geography) 38:463. 3 lecture hours per week, one term. 88:464 RURAL RESOURCE DEVELOPMENT (3) Prerequisite: 38:290 or permission of Instructor. Rural Communities in Canada have traditionally been reliant on biophysical resources for economic bases. As resource supply and demand changes, the future of resource-based communities comes into question. Examples in Canada abound, including the collapse of fisheries, mine closures, agricultural restructuring, and forest depletion. This course begins by reviewing historical and contemporary economic theories relevant to resource communities (e.g. Staples and Export-base theories). Using regional inventories, the current state of resources across Canada is explored (e.g. cod fishery, mine closures, farm structure). The course then examines the public policy implications of these issues (e.g. local economic development programs), as well as the regulatory framework for resource development in Canada (e.g. Environmental Impact Assessment processes). A seminar format is adopted. Credit cannot be held for both this course and 38:464 or 88:564. Cross-registered with (Geography) 38:464. 3 seminar hours per week, one term. 88:471 THE RURAL-URBAN FRINGE (3) Prerequisite: Successful completion of 60 credit hours or permission of instructor. The rural-urban fringe is a region surrounding the city where there is a comingling of urban and rural land uses, lifestyles, and economic activities, and where conflict and controversy are often present. Examples of rural urban interactions where problems emerge include: land use conflicts between urban and rural land use (e.g. between rural non-farm residents) and farmers, and economic concerns, such as development versus the preservation of rural space. Credit cannot be held for both this course and 38/88:471or 88:571. Cross-registered with (Geography) 38:471. 3 lecture hours per week, one term. 88:491 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY (3) Prerequisite: Nil. Organization is the key to successful research. This course orients students to proposal preparation and thesis research by discussion, literature reviews, research methodologies, sampling and survey design, and written expression. This course introduced techniques and philosophies concerning data collection and interpretation in the field. Using directed readings, this course will also address the theoretical, conceptual, and technical issues surrounding the collection and interpretation of field data. Credit cannot be held for both this course and 88:591. 3 lecture hours per week, one term. 303 SOCIOLOGY (90) 88:499 TOPICS IN RURAL DEVELOPMENT Prerequisite: A minimum of 60 credit hours or permission of Department.

(Major in School Music) and the B.Ed. (A.D.) concurrently, rather than sequentially. In it, students normally earn both degrees and achieve teacher certification following a five-year period of study. Before applying for admission to the B.Ed. (A.D.) portion of the program in Year 2, students must choose one of three possible streams: elementary general music, secondary choral music or secondary instrumental music. Please see section 8.4.3 of the School of Music section of the calendar for full description and requirements of the B.Mus./B.Ed. (A.D.) Program. PROGRAM FOR THE EDUCATION OF NATIVE TEACHERS (P.E.N.T.) Director: Mr. J. Minshull, B.Ed., Grad. Dip. This program is an integrated B.A./B.Ed. program (150 credit hours in total) that is intended for Indigenous Educators, who are already employed in schools as educational assistants (EAs). It was started in the summer of 1971 as a project to provide Indigenous Educational Assistants with an opportunity to acquire a teaching certificate. The students come from communities as far north as Brochet, Churchill, South Indian Lake and Split Lake. Each year they study at Brandon University for four months, from April through July. The P.E.N.T. curriculum mirrors the regular teacher education program. While at Brandon University, the P.E.N.T. students take an average twentyfour credit hours of courses each year. A minimum of six summers is required to achieve certification; however, students do have the advantage of working in school for seven months each year. A shortage of Early/Middle Years Educators in Science/Math/English throughout Northern Manitoba has led to a refined focus upon these disciplines. The P.E.N.T. Program will prepare educators to meet the future market needs. While studying on campus, students have access to modern library and computer facilities and equipment. 332 FACULTY OF EDUCATION Upon successful completion of this program, the students are recommended to the Professional Certification Unit of Manitoba Education and Training to teach in any public school in Manitoba. The Advisory Committee, which oversees the program, includes representatives from many of the Tribal Councils, a P.E.N.T. student representative, Frontier School Division, Indian Affairs, The Manitoba Indian Education Board, the Manitoba Metis Federation, Manitoba Teachers' Society, Department of Education and Training, and Brandon University, Faculty of Education.

The QEII main floor was opened for classes in 1985 by Manitoba Premier Howard Pawley, with the two remaining floors completed thereafter through additional provincial funding, generous gifts of private donors, and a Cultural Initiative Project grant. Given in recognition of the role played by the School of Music and Conservatory in the cultural life of Southwestern Manitoba and Southeastern Saskatchewan, the CIP grant contributed to the building of one of the best designed and thoroughly equipped music facilities in Canada. Features of the building include the 208 seat Lorne Watson Recital Hall, the R.D. Bell Hall, the Kinsmen Rehearsal Hall, a spacious Music Library, the Electronic Music Studio, the Recording Studio, and an array of classrooms, teaching studios, and practice studios. The Western Manitoba Centennial Auditorium is located immediately north of the Queen Elizabeth II Music Building. Large productions of the School of Music utilize the fully professional staging facilities of the Auditorium. The Music Library contains one of Western Canada's most comprehensive music collections, including reference works, books, periodicals, scores, tapes and compact discs. Listening, video, and computer stations provide library patrons access to music through the latest technology. Performance opportunities abound at Brandon University for music students, students from other faculties, and community musicians. Music students have opportunities to perform both as soloists and as members of a wide range and variety of ensembles, from small chamber groups to full-scale productions.

Tuition Fees: Please see SECTION 4 of this calendar for regular and special tuition fees. Theory Assessment: Part of the audition process comprises a written theory assessment to gauge if students need remedial work in theory. The assessment includes identification and notation of rhythmic patterns, meter, intervals, chords, scales, key signatures, transposition, and basic Roman numeral analysis. A sample test is posted on the School of Music website. The result of this test does not affect admission. Options for remedial work will be communicated to students whose test results suggest a need for it. Note: Students who have completed the RCM Level 8 Theory exam (or equivalent) may present those exam results in lieu of writing this assessment. Advanced Placement in Music Theory: students who have already studied harmony, counterpoint and/or musical form may wish to try for advanced placement in the music theory core. Students may attempt the advanced placement test at the same time as the regular theory assessment, or at any time before the regular beginning of their first term of music theory. The advanced placement test will test the student’s abilities in two-voice counterpoint and four part harmony (figured bass and given melody), as well as score analysis. Students wishing to write the advanced placement portion of the test should plan their audition schedule to accommodate the extra time required, or advise the music office of their desire to take the test so an appropriate time can be scheduled. According to results, students writing this portion of the test may be granted advanced placement into Diatonic Harmony, Chromatic Harmony, or denied advanced placement.
