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." INTRODUCTION 1.

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 enrollment 13 GENERAL INFORMATION 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, enrollment 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. SECTION 2 GENERAL INFORMATION 2.1 HISTORICAL SKETCH The University is a co-educational, non-denominational, government-supported institution within the Province of Manitoba. It is a member of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC). 2.1.1 THE FOUNDATIONS The Baptist Home Mission first sent missionaries to southwestern Manitoba in 1869 and settlers began to pour into the area after 1871. Both settlers and missionaries soon saw a need for a denominational college for Manitoba youth and several attempts to found a college were made. In 1880 Dr. John Crawford and Rev. G. B. Davis opened Prairie College in Rapid City, 20 miles north of Brandon. The College failed and Rev. Davis founded a small academy in Rapid City which was subsequently taken over by his brother-in-law, Prof. S. J. McKee. McKee's Academy was moved to Brandon in 1890 following the projection of the CPR mainline through the Assiniboine Valley, which resulted in the marked growth of the city of Brandon. 2.1.2 BRANDON COLLEGE As early as 1885 the Baptist Convention of Manitoba and the Northwest Territories responded to this need. In 1898 a Toronto industrialist, Mr. William Davies, and his sister-in-law, Mrs. Emily Davies, pledged $25,000 to be used to establish a Baptist College in Brandon. Plans moved ahead rapidly. The Convention appointed Dr. A. P. McDiarmid as principal of Brandon College in 1899. Prof. McKee's Academy was merged into the new institution and the quarters of the Academy in the Stewart Block on Rosser Avenue at Ninth Street continued to be used. On July 13, 1900, Mrs. Davies laid the cornerstone of the first new building located at the corner of Eighteenth Street and Lorne Avenue, part of the present campus. The Original Building, as it is now called, is joined to Clark Hall, built for women in 1906 and named after Dr. W. S. Clark, the principal donor. These now serve as the Arts and administration buildings of Brandon University. Brandon College was a liberal arts college offering some work in theology, a high school department, and a commercial department. A school of music was added in 1906. During the college's affiliation with McMaster University, 1911-1938, the School of Music graduate diplomas in voice and piano attained national reputation. Following affiliation with the University of Manitoba in 1938, music courses as credit to B.A. and B.Sc. degrees were added. Brandon College offered the first B. Mus. program in Manitoba in 1963. The School of Music includes one of the few conservatory departments in Canada and offers private tutoring of high quality. More than 200 Brandon College students served in the First World War including two winners of the Victoria Cross. The college sent a platoon with the Western Universities Battalion to France in 1916 and class enrollments dwindled as students joined the services during that year until not a single male was enrolled in the freshman class. In 1922 the Science Building was opened, but an economic slump kept the building from being completed according to original specifications. The Bachelor of Science degree was added in 1939. Commercial courses were discontinued in 1922, and the theology department was replaced by the inclusion of religious studies in the arts curriculum in 1928. In 1932, the Grade 9, 10 and 11 work of the academy, which had formed part of the college, was discontinued. Grade 12 Department of Education courses were introduced and continued until 1955. In 1938 the Baptist Union of Western Canada found that it was no longer able to support Brandon College. An exceptional display of interest, hard work and generosity on the part of citizens of western Manitoba kept the college open. Brandon College became a non-denominational corporation in that year, ending its affiliation with McMaster University and joining the University of Manitoba as an affiliated college. Four sources of revenue allowed the work of the college to be continued: public subscription; an endowment (which became a foundation in 1945) by Dr. A. E. McKenzie, owner of a Brandon seed firm; a tax levy from the city of Brandon and an annual grant from the provincial government. Support from each of these has continued, but changed in proportion 14 GENERAL INFORMATION over the years. The C.O.T.C. program which had been dropped after the First World War was revived to meet the challenge of World War II and 234 Brandon College students served in Canada's armed forces during 1939-45. Enrollment was cut sharply but new bursaries and scholarships were introduced, and many students worked their way through Brandon College during this period. At this point, there were 14 faculty members and about 100 students. During the late 1940's, the social sciences were introduced at Brandon College. Training for high school teachers was added in 1952 and expanded to include training for elementary teachers in 1955. The Bachelor of Teaching program was added in 1969 and the first graduates of the program received their degrees in 1971. In the late 1950's, a national program of university and college expansion gave rise to a sharply increased growth at Brandon College in numbers of both students and faculty and the building of new facilities. The Arts and Library Building, later named the A. E. McKenzie Building, in honour of a chief benefactor of the college, and the J. R. C. Evans Lecture Theatre, named in honour of former Brandon College president Dr. J. R. C. Evans, were officially opened in 1961. In 1962 the steam plant, Darrach Hall (Men's Residence), and the dining hall were completed. Added in 1963 were the Music Building and Flora Cowan Hall (Women's Residence). The Brandon University Gymnasium was opened in 1965. 2.1.3 BRANDON UNIVERSITY Brandon University received its charter on June 5, 1967, on the occasion of the visit of Her Royal Highness Princess Alexandra and the Honourable Angus Ogilvie. The Education Building was constructed in 1967, and the Western Manitoba Centennial Auditorium in 1969. A 10-storey, high-rise residence, McMaster Hall, for men and women, was opened in the fall of 1971. The Jeff Umphrey Memorial Centre for Mental Retardation opened in the fall of 1971 and housed a bookstore, bank and a day care centre, as well as the research centre on mental health. The J. R. Brodie Science Centre was opened officially in May1972, although classes were held there during the 1971-72 school year. It has modern facilities for the departments of applied disaster and emergency studies, botany, chemistry, environmental science, geology, geography, mathematics and computer science, physics, psychology, and zoology. In early 1980 the Master of Music Degree Program was approved, and in September 1980 the Applied Program commenced. The Master of Music (Education) commenced in September 1981. In November 1983 a sod-turning ceremony was held initiating the beginning of the new Music Building erected to the south of the Western Manitoba Centennial Auditorium and west of the Arts and Library Building. In October 1984 Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II officially named the structure the Queen Elizabeth II Music Building. Members of the Music Faculty moved into the new building during the summer of 1985 and classes were held there in Fall, 1985. In September 1986 classes commenced in the Department of Nursing and Health Studies program with 2-Year Post-Diploma Baccalaureate Degrees in Nursing and Mental Health. In 1990 the University introduced a major in Business Administration in the Faculty of Arts. Brandon University received its second master’s program when the Master of Education was approved in 1990. In 1991 a minor in Women's Studies was approved in the Faculty of Arts. In 1993, a minor in Aboriginal Art was approved. In September 1996, the 4-Year Bachelor of Science in Psychiatric Nursing was offered for the first time. Beginning in the early fall of 1996, the renovation and reconstruction of Clark Hall and the Original Building with the retention of the original facade was initiated. This historic project was completed in the Spring of 1997. Faculty and administration occupy the new structure, and classes are being held in the new large classrooms in the renovated Clark Hall and Original Building. In 1997, Brandon University established the School of Health Studies, the home of the post-diploma nursing and mental health programs and the B.Sc.in Psychiatric Nursing, and first offered the 4-Year Bachelor of Business Administration degree. The Bachelor of First Nations and Aboriginal Counselling and the Master of Rural Development degree programs were instituted in 1998, followed by the Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science in Applied Disaster and Emergency Studies in 2001. Also in 2001, a new Distributed Major in Science, designed for students who plan to teach in the secondary schools, was introduced. The Bachelor of Fine Arts was offered for the first time in 2003. In 2004 the Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science was first offered. In 2005 the Bachelor of Nursing was offered for the first time. The Liberal Arts Distributed Major & interdisciplinary Studies Major was offered for the first time in 2006. In 2007 the Bachelor of Physical Education Studies degree and the Bachelor of Arts 4-Year Gender & Women’s Studies major were offered for the first time. In 2010, the Master of Psychiatric Nursing program was established. 2.2 LIBRARY SERVICES 2.2.1 JOHN E. ROBBINS LIBRARY The John E.

Students must meet the following conditions in order to be eligible for Mature Student Status: 1. They must be at least 21 years of age by the last date of examinations for the first session (Spring, Summer, Regular) in which they wish to register; 2. They must be Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada (only in exceptional cases will international students in Canada on student visas be considered for Mature student status). Note: Applicants for Mature Admission are subject to page 20 English Language Proficiency Requirement. 3. They must be in good standing (i.e. have a minimum grade point average of 2.0) at their previous institution to be admitted to Brandon University. Such students will be admitted to Brandon with mature status. Once they have gained regular status here, the courses taken will be added to their present academic record. A mature student who has a grade point average of less than 2.0 from another university may appeal to the Curriculum and Academic Planning Committee for admission. Mature students are required to meet the following Academic Performance Requirement to become Regular Students: 3.1.4 1. They are allowed to complete a maximum of 24 credit hours of attempts with no repeat courses except as approved by the students' Dean or Director. 2. They must obtain “C” grades in at least 12 of 24 credit hours of attempts AND must meet the minimum Academic Performance Requirement for the number of credit hours attempted. Mature students who obtain “C” grades in 12 credit hours will be allowed to proceed as a Regular student, subject to the requirements of the Academic Performance Table (see page 36). 3. If mature entry students have failed to attain 12 credit hours of “C” in the prescribed 24 credit hours, they will be placed on Academic Suspension. Such students must re-apply to the Curriculum and Academic Planning Committee for readmission to the University. TRANSFER ADMISSION Transfer students are those who have regular student status at another accredited institution and who are seeking admission to Brandon University. At the time of application, transfer students, and those with a completed degree, must supply the Admissions Office with a transcript no more than one-year old. All previous coursework must be declared at the time of admission and transferred where applicable to Brandon University. Failure to do so will result in the revocation of admission status and the forfeiture of all coursework done at Brandon University. Should a transfer student's academic performance at the previous institution(s) produce a G.P.A. that is 2.0 or greater on all courses that are transferable to Brandon University, the student is admissible. If the academic performance at the previous institution(s) produces a G.P.A. that is less than 2.0 on all the courses that are transferable to Brandon University, then the application must be submitted to the Curriculum and Academic Planning Committee for consideration. If no credits from previous institutions are transferable, the G.P.A. at the last institution will be considered. If the G.P.A. is 2.0 or greater, the student shall be admitted. If the G.P.A. is below 2.0, the application shall be submitted to the Curriculum and Academic Planning Committee for consideration. Students who have been granted forfeiture of credit at another accredited institution will be admitted as transfer students, and a notation identifying the institution, the dates of attendance and the forfeiture will be entered on the Brandon University transcript. Students who wish to request a review or reassessment of transfer credit must do so within six (6) months once the transfer of credit to Brandon University is complete. Course Credit for Transfer Students All courses transferred will receive full equivalent grade point value as indicated on the student's transcript. Of the remaining courses needed for the degree from Brandon University, the student must earn at least a “C” average, or whatever average is required for the degree, and graduate with the required minimum G.P.A. for all credit hours used for the degree sought. Academic departments may grant transfer of credit as unallocated if the course transferred to Brandon University is a close match to a course offered by the department. The maximum number of transfer credit hours for the 3-year, 4-year and 5-year degrees is listed in the appropriate section of the Calendar for degree sought. 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. 23 ADMISSIONS REGULATIONS 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. 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 courses concerned will not be evaluated for transfer credit, will not appear on the Brandon University transcript, and will not affect academic performance calculations at Brandon University (once the student has been admitted). Instead the following notation will appear on the transcript: “Brandon University has waived transfer credit for one or more courses taken at a previous postsecondary institution at the student’s request”. 3.1.5 VISITOR ADMISSION Applicants who intend to transfer Brandon University credit elsewhere must obtain a Letter of Permission from the Registrar of their home university, which guarantees transfer credit for courses taken. The Letter of Permission should be submitted with the application for admission; a Letter of Acceptance cannot be issued until this letter has been submitted. Letter of Permission should indicate either the date when the letter will expire or the list of approved courses to be taken. 3.1.6 GRADUATE ADMISSION Students must refer to the current Graduate General Calendar for full details concerning the admission requirements to the Master of Music degree programs, (Performance and Literature or Music Education), the Graduate Diploma in Education, the Master of Education, the Graduate Diploma in Rural Development, Master of Rural Development and the Master in Psychiatric Nursing. 3.1.7 DUAL CREDIT ADMISSION Dual credit admission enables Manitoba High School students to apply academic credit earned at Brandon University toward the fulfillment of senior year graduation requirements. Applicants are normally eligible for dual credit admission provided they meet the following criteria: 1. they are in good standing (i.e. they have completed, are enrolled in, or pre-registered for all the compulsory courses required to meet their high school graduation requirements); 2. they have a minimum cumulative average of 80% across all their Grade 11 and 12 courses completed at the time of application; 3. they come highly recommended by their secondary school Principal (or equivalent) or designate to pursue dual credit studies. Dual Credit admission provides the individual with the opportunity to attempt a maximum of 9 credit hours of course work before graduating with a high school diploma. No credit for such attempts shall be granted at Brandon University until the individual has satisfied the requirements for admission under the Regular, Mature or Transfer categories. Students admitted as dual credit who have enrolled in at least one course at Brandon University will be allowed to register, as per the schedule for returning students, for a maximum of 30 credit hours in the Regular Session that follows their high school graduation. Official documentation of high school graduation must be submitted to the Admissions Office prior to the beginning of Regular Session classes. Students admitted to earn dual credits will only be able to enroll in Brandon University courses upon approval of the Dean of the appropriate faculty/school. Brandon University’s dual credit offerings will exclude any 090/091 level courses. 3.1.8 AUDIT ADMISSION Auditing students are those who plan to take classes for personal and professional reasons for which no credit is being sought and for which the student is not required to write final examinations. Students intending to take courses for credit must supply the Admissions Office with the necessary documents to have their admission status upgraded. Students must meet the following conditions to be eligible for Auditor Student Status: 1. they must be a Canadian citizen or Permanent resident; 2. they must provide photo identification with a birth date and current surname; 3. they m u st complete the application form and submit the required fee. 24 REGISTRATION REGULATIONS 3.1.9 NO CREDIT ADMISSION Applicants who do not meet the foregoing admission requirements may be considered by the University Registrar on an appeal basis. No Credit Admission provides the individual with the opportunity to attempt, subject to the decision of the University Registrar, 9 credit hours of coursework per term, to a limit of 24 credit hours of attempts in total. Registration in each of the courses will be subject to the written approval of the Dean of the Faculty or School which offers the course(s) or Department Chair. No credit for such attempts shall be granted until the individual has satisfied the requirements for admission under the Regular, Mature, or Transfer category, and admission to Brandon University has been granted by the Admissions Office. Any student who takes courses under this category while under suspension from another post-secondary institution may not apply the credit for those courses toward a degree at Brandon University. Students admitted as no-credit who are in their final year of high school and who have enrolled in at least one course at Brandon University will be allowed to register, as per the schedule for returning students, for a maximum of 30 credit hours in the Regular Session that follows their high school graduation. Such students must present to the Admissions Office an interim transcript showing enrolment in sufficient high school credits for graduation. Official documentation of high school graduation must be submitted to the Admissions Office prior to the beginning of Regular session classes. SECTION 4 REGISTRATION REGULATIONS 4.1 REGISTRATION Registration consists of completing a registration form, (paper copy or online) if necessary obtaining approval from the Dean, Chair, Advisor (or designate) of a Faculty or School for their program of studies, and making payment to Financial & Registration Services on fees assessed. Students are responsible for the accurate completion of their registration, which includes the registration form. They are also responsible to ensure that the courses registered for lead to the program of their choice and that they meet the requirements for the degree sought. If students have questions or problems concerning their degree program they should consult either the Department Chair in which they are taking their Major Program of study, their Dean, or Student Services. Students are also responsible for ensuring that Financial & Registration Services is informed of all changes in their course registration and personal information (e.g. change of address, name change, etc.). The University reserves the right to cancel any course in which there is insufficient enrollment. Students entering the year in which they declare their Major (after 30 credit hours for the Faulty of Arts and 18 credit hours for the Faculty of Science) must obtain approval for their Program of Studies from the Chair (or designate) of the Faculty, School, or Department concerned. Registration is not complete until fees have been paid to Financial & Registration Services. 4.1.1 REGISTRATION PROCEDURES Registration is the process by which students select courses in the Day and/or Evening Session, on- or off-campus, for a particular academic session and record that selection on the official registration form or by online registration and submit to Financial & Registration Services. If eligible, students can register using the online registration system and submit their request electronically. Before students are permitted to register they must first be eligible to pursue studies at the University. Eligibility is determined either by previous academic performance for Returning students or acceptance through the admissions process to the University for New students. (For Admission Requirements see page 20). Returning students who are not eligible to re-register at the University will have been so advised by letter from Financial & Registration Services. New students are accepted according to the status under which they are eligible to apply (e.g. Regular, Mature, Transfer, etc.). These are indicated on the application form for admission. This form must be completed and submitted, along with all required documents. (e.g. High School marks, Birth Certificate, etc.), to the Admissions Office. Only when applicants have completed all the requirements for admission will they be accepted and subsequently permitted to register for courses. In brief, students must apply and be accepted through the Admissions Office before they are allowed to register for courses at Brandon University. 1. Form Completion: In completing the registration form, it is imperative that the department, course number and course title, section number and term be correctly stated. Failure to do so may result in omission of the student's name from appropriate class and examination registers. 2. Online Registration: Is not complete until the student has answered the required questions and submitted their request and notification is received via the student’s BU email. Students should retain tracking numbers for all online registration requests for reference. 3. Waiting Lists: Brandon University has an automated waiting list system for students who wish to register for a course that has reached its enrollment limit. When the student attempts to register in person or online for the course that has reached the enrollment limit, they are given the opportunity to be placed on the waiting list for that course. As spots in the course become available, the students from the waiting list are notified via their BU email. The students can register for 25 REGISTRATION REGULATIONS 4. 5. 4.1.2 the course or remove themselves from the list. If no reply is received from the student in a predetermined length of time, the spot is forfeited and the student’s name is placed at the bottom of the waiting list. The students can remove themselves from the waiting list or view what lists their names are on at any time through the student information portal. If a student does not have internet access, they should contact Financial & Registration Services to obtain instructions for non-internet users. Course Withdrawal: When students withdraw from a course, it is their responsibility to notify Financial & Registration Services in writing on the prescribed form or by using the online registration system. Any refundable portion of fees will be calculated only from the date on which Financial & Registration Services has been notified. Deadline dates for withdrawal, without academic penalty, from full and half courses represent 80% of the total contact hours in the course. If a student should withdraw from a course up to and including the last date for registration in that course, the course will not be noted on the transcript. Students should note that refund dates differ from registration dates. Students should refer to the refund schedule available online or contact Financial & Registration Services. All withdrawals subsequent to the last date of registration, and up to and including the last date of withdrawal without academic penalty will remain on the transcript with the notation of VW (voluntary withdrawal). The grade of F (failure) will be noted on the transcript against a course for which the student withdraws if the withdrawal is subsequent to the last date of withdrawal without academic penalty and not approved as an AW. Students will be permitted to withdraw from a course or courses after the last date for voluntary withdrawal only for reasons of illness, disability or domestic affliction, supported by a certificate from a qualified professional. Using this information, 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 Audit: A Regular Student who is registered in courses for credit may wish to audit a course. This is different from Regular 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 date for withdrawing from courses without academic penalty. The appropriate fee adjustment will be made against the student's account by Financial & Registration Services. CANCELLATION FOR NON-PAYMENT OF FEES Fees for each term are payable the first day of the term. This date is published in the Registration Guide on the Brandon University website. Students who fail to pay or make arrangements to pay by the required deadline will have their registrations cancelled. A reinstatement process may be available, and a fee will be charged for reinstatement. The final date for reinstatement is the last day of classes of the term in which the registration has been cancelled. (Some exceptions apply.) Reinstatement must be for all courses in which the student originally registered. 4.1.3 BRANDON UNIVERSITY IDENTIFICATION CARDS Each student registering for an academic session will be issued a Brandon University Identification Card, which must be presented when using Library facilities. Cards are issued by Ancillary Services on the Main Floor of the McMasters Complex. 4.1.4 STUDENT NUMBERS A number is assigned to each student upon application for admission to Brandon University. This number is included on the student's Identification Card, in the student's file in Financial & Registration Services and on all statements of examination results issued by Brandon University. Each student will be issued only one student number. 4.1.5 COURSE LOAD LIMIT Students are limited in the regular session (September to April) to a maximum of 5 full courses (or equivalent), or 30 credit hours, with a maximum of 15 credit hours in each term. First year Music students are permitted to register for 34 credit hours as this is the normal first year course load. Bachelor of Physical Education students will complete 33 credit hours per year as a normal course load. 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 add can be counted as part of the student's registration. Students are advised that taking course overloads could imperil their academic performance. Usually, a 3 credit hour course meets three hours per week in 1, 2, or 3 hour block periods for one term only for a minimum total of 36 class contact hours, while a 6 credit hour course meets, in generally the same patterns, over two terms for a minimum total of 72 class contact hours. Mature students have limited course loads (see page 37). 4.1.6 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 1. The status of Continuing or Returning students is based on a student's previous academic performance (see page 36). 26 REGISTRATION REGULATIONS 1. 2. 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 page 36) or by promotion from Mature student status by achieving 12 credit hours of C grades or better with a cumulative g.p.a. of 2.0 or better. Students in good standing who were previously No Credit, Probation or Transfer may be promoted to Regular status. 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 page 37). 3. Probation: A student who, after completion of 24 or more credit hours, has a cumulative grade point average of less than 2.0, 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 page 36). 4. Transfer: A student who previously attended another university who has transferred in credits earned at that other institution for credit towards a Brandon University degree. Transfer students must be in good standing at their previous institution (see page 23). 5. Visitor Status: A student registering for credit courses for which credit is sought elsewhere (see page 24). 6. No Credit Status: A student who has been admitted by permission of the Senate Curriculum and Academic Planning Committee, who does not meet normal admission requirements (see page 25). 7. 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 page 24). 8. 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, Mature or Transfer categories (see page 24). 4.1.7 NIL DEGREE Students who attend Brandon University normally will be classified as proceeding in a degree program. A student may be classified as Nil Degree under the following circumstances: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 4.1.8 If the student is admitted as a visiting student (see page 24). If the student is taking university credits as part of a community college level program or for professional credit sought elsewhere. If the student already has a first undergraduate degree and is taking courses for general interest or upgrading only. If the student is only auditing a course. If the student is admitted as a dual credit student (see page 24). STUDENT CLASSIFICATION BY YEAR 1st Year successful completion of up to 24 cr. hrs. 2nd Year successful completion of more than 24 and up to 54 cr. hrs. 3rd Year successful completion of more than 54 and up to 90 cr. hrs. 4th Year successful completion of more than 90 cr. hrs. 4.1.9 FULL-TIME STUDENTS Any student registered in nine or more credit hours per term shall be considered a full-time student of Brandon University except for purposes of scholarships where a student must be registered in 24 credit hours in the Regular Session (September -- April). 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. 4.1.10 COURSE NUMBERS Each course number is prefixed by the number of the program Department, School or Faculty under whose jurisdiction the course is offered. Department/Faculty/Program Education Anthropology Biology Business Administration Chemistry Drama Economics English & Creative Writing Environmental Science Fine Arts (Aboriginal Art & Visual Art) Gender & Women’s Studies Geography 01-07 12 15 16 18 20 22 30 31 32 36 38 Mathematics & Computer Science Music Music (Arts) Native Studies Psychiatric Nursing Philosophy Nursing Physics Political Science Psychology Religion Rural & Community Studies 27 62 64-66 67 68 69 70 71 74 78 82 86 88 REGISTRATION REGULATIONS Applied Disaster & Emergency Studies Geology History Justice Studies Languages, Classical & Modern 40 42 54 56 58 Sociology Indigenous & Aboriginal Counselling First Nations & Aboriginal Counselling Non-Departmental 90 96 97 99 Course Number Designation Basic and First Year Second Year Third Year Fourth Year Fifth Year Master of Music, Education, Psychiatric Nursing & Rural Development 090-199 200-299 300-399 400-499 500-599 600-799 In most cases, the middle digit in the course number indicates a course weight. Course numbers for full courses have a middle digit of 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4. Course numbers for half courses have a middle digit of 5, 6, 7, 8, or 9. 4.1.11 TOPICS COURSES Topics courses are limited to Third and Fourth Year students. Third Year students are permitted a maximum of six credit hours and Fourth Year students a further maximum of six credit hours. Students who wish to enroll in any Topics Courses in any Department of the Faculty of Arts, Science and FNAC 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, and 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 for under page 33). All topics courses are numbered as follows: 339/349/439/449 full courses. 398/399/498/499 half courses. 4.1.12 COURSE PREREQUISITES A course prerequisite, as noted in the General Calendar description, is a requirement for certain courses, which must be completed before registration will be permitted. Students who wish to register for courses without having met the stipulated course pre- requisite(s) must have a written waiver for the prerequisite(s) from the course Instructor, Department, or as otherwise stated. Students will not receive credit in a course if the stipulated course prerequisite(s) has not been met or waived, as appropriate. Prerequisite waiver forms are available online or from Financial & Registration Services. In the event that a student does not successfully complete the prerequisite for a course and is therefore unable to take the course for which the prerequisite was in place, it becomes the student’s responsibility to withdraw from the course by submitting a registration change form or online request to Financial & Registration Services to ensure that his/her registration is updated. 4.1.13 LETTER OF PERMISSION Brandon University students who wish to take a course or courses at another accredited post-secondary institution for transfer of credit to their program must obtain a Letter of Permission from Financial & Registration Services before they make application to the visiting institution or register for the course. A non-refundable fee is charged for a Letter of Permission. An application for a Letter of Permission is available at the following website: http://www2.brandonu.ca/Admin/Finance&Admin_main/LOP%20Request%20Form.pdf/ Established equivalencies can be found on the course transfer database on the Brandon University website from the link listed below. If the course(s) is not in the database, or requires re-evaluation, you may be asked to provide detailed outline /syllabus for the course(s). Not all courses listed in the transfer database will necessarily be current offerings at that institution. https://webapp.brandonu.ca/pls/transfer/f?p=118:10:4468343323477231::::: Requests for Letters of Permission should be received by Financial & Registration Services 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 Student Status. Students who do not have Regular Students Status (i.e. Probationary, Mature) will have their requests approved by the appropriate Academic Dean or Program Co-ordinator 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 Co-ordinator. 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 28 REGISTRATION REGULATIONS 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 Financial & Registration Services directly from the institution where the course was taken. Grades transferred in are used in the calculation of the grade point average (g.p.a.) for the degree sought. 4.1.14 TRANSFER CREDIT Students who have taken a course or courses at another academic institution prior to their admittance to Brandon University must, upon application for admission, request an assessment of their work at the other academic institutions for possible transfer of credit to Brandon University. Students who have been readmitted to Brandon University following either academic suspension (see page 36) or academic withdrawal (see page 36) may request an assessment of courses taken at another academic institution(s) during the period of suspension, or withdrawal, 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 page 34), will not normally be subject to the stipulated course prerequisite(s). Departments may 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 Students transferring grades from other universities to Brandon University will receive the equivalent of the grade attained at the former universities. Students who have received numerical grades will have their grades converted to approximate letter grade values. 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. Waiver of Transfer Courses Students may request a waiver of transfer for all courses taken five (5) years or more prior to their return to Brandon University. This request must be made in writing on the appropriate form designated by the Registrar’s 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 courses concerned will not be evaluated for transfer credit, will not appear on the Brandon University transcript, and will not affect academic performance calculations at Brandon University. Instead the following notation will appear on the transcript: “Brandon University has waived transfer credit for one or more courses taken at a previous post-secondary institution at the student’s request”. 4.1.15 RESIDENCE REQUIREMENTS 1. First Degree --- In working towards a degree all students are required to complete a minimum number of credit hours at Brandon University, as stated for each particular degree in the appropriate section of the calendar. (See SECTION 6 for Faculties of Arts and Science degrees, SECTION 8 for Faculty of Education degrees, SECTION 9 or School of Music degrees and SECTION 10 for School of Health Studies.) 2. Second Degree Requirements a) Students may not repeat a course to obtain credit in the second degree which is counted as part of a previous degree. b) For a 3-Year second degree, students are required to complete a minimum of 48 credit hours of university level work of which at least 30 credit hours must be completed at Brandon University. c) For a 4-Year second degree, students are required to complete a minimum of 66 credit hours of university level work of which at least 42 credit hours must be completed at Brandon University. d) Specific regulations for the second degree being sought are to be found in the appropriate sections of the calendar. e) 4.1.16 Appeals against the Second Degree regulations must be submitted to the Curriculum and Academic Planning Committee of Senate. CANADIAN ARMED FORCES -- RESIDENCE REQUIREMENTS It is recognized that Canadian Armed Forces personnel and their dependents often have their program of studies interrupted because of special circumstances. Accordingly, the announced residency regulations will be waived for Canadian Armed Forces personnel or their dependents provided that the students meet the following requirements: 1. have been admitted to Brandon University; and either 2. attended Brandon University classes either on-campus or at an approved location in Canada or abroad; or, 3. have a Letter of Permission from Brandon University allowing them to pursue studies at an approved location in Canada or abroad; or 4. all other requirements for the Brandon University degree sought have been met. 4.1.17 ADVANCED PLACEMENT 29 REGISTRATION REGULATIONS 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 four-course major or a one and one-half course minor in that subject. Advanced placement will be granted at the discretion of the Department Chair and the Dean of the Faculty/School. 4.1.18 STUDENTS' TRANSCRIPTS A student's transcript, or record, is based upon the information, personal and academic, supplied at admission and at registration, the successive changes to that information, if any, and grades obtained in the courses of the Program of Studies registered for from session to session. If students wish Official transcripts they must write, or complete the required form at Financial & Registration Services with the required fee (see page 39). Transcripts will not be released if a student is in debt to the University. Students' transcripts are considered confidential and will be issued only if the student completes the transcript request form, or writes a letter requesting the release of a transcript, asking for a copy to be sent either to himself/herself or to another university, an agency, or an official. The required fee must be submitted with the request. 4.2 COURSEWORK AND EXAMINATIONS 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. 4.2.1 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. 4.2.2 5. Instructors may excuse absences for good and sufficient reasons. 6. 7. Smoking is prohibited in all classrooms and laboratories and is not permitted in any exception. 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. 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, 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 30 REGISTRATION REGULATIONS 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. 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 for a period of 1 to 5 years g) expulsion from the faculty h) suspension from the University for a period of 1 to 5 years i) expulsion from the University j) cancellation or revocation of degree his 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. 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". Academic Withdrawal 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 Brandon University web-site and in the Offices of the Deans and Registrar. 31 REGISTRATION REGULATIONS 4.2.3 STUDENT GRIEVANCE PROCEDURES A student having a valid, well considered academic type of grievance against a faculty or staff member must exercise the following procedure: 4.2.4 1. It is strongly recommended that the parties in question should work out the problem between themselves. 2. If the student is not satisfied, the student may seek advice and support from the BUSU University Affairs Committee (UAC) or other sources. The chair of the BUSU University Affairs committee is t h e B US U Vic e P resi d en t Academic. A s e c o n d attempt should then be made to solve the problem directly with the faculty/staff member in question. The UAC member(s) should not at this point present the case or contribute in a large way to the discussion. 3. If further action is needed, either party may approach the Chair (or designate) of the department to which the faculty/staff member belongs. The Chair shall hear the student(s) and the faculty/staff member separately or jointly, (if necessary) before reaching a decision. A BUSU UAC member or other counsel may advise the student(s). 4. If the problem is to go farther, it is to the Dean of the Faculty/ School. The student(s) may be advised and/or represented by BUSU UAC members or other counsel. The faculty/staff members may also seek support from colleagues or other sources. 5. The final step of appeal is the Senate. In all matters the decision of the Senate is final. LETTER GRADE SYSTEM The following Letter Grade System was used until August 31, 2006. Verbal Description Letter Grade Grade Points Distinction A+ A 4.0 4.0 AB+ B BC+ C D F 4.0 3.5 3.0 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.0 0.0 Superior Average Marginal Failure * Weighted Grade Full Course Half Course 24.0 12.0 24.0 12.0 24.0 21.0 18.0 18.0 18.0 12.0 6.0 0.0 12.0 10.5 9.0 9.0 7.5 6.0 3.0 0.0 The following Letter Grade System will be used commencing with Regular Session Fall registrations 2006. Verbal Description Letter Grade Grade Points Distinction A+ A 4.3 4.0 AB+ B BC+ C CD F 3.7 3.3 3.0 2.7 2.3 2.0 1.7 1.0 0.0 Superior Average Marginal Failure * Weighted Grade Full Course Half Course 25.8 12.9 24.0 12.0 22.2 19.8 18.0 16.2 13.6 12.0 10.2 6.0 0.0 11.1 9.9 9.0 8.1 6.9 6.0 6.1 3.0 0.0 * The weighted grade points for the full and half courses are based on the 6 and 3 credit hour weighted courses. Differently weighted courses will have an appropriate weighted grade point. 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. 32 REGISTRATION REGULATIONS 4.2.5 EXAMINATIONS 1. Students must write final examinations (if such are required) in every course in which they are registered. Those students who absent themselves will be given a grade of “F-NP” for the examination, except in the case of students who produce evidence of having been prevented from writing examinations owing to illness, disability, or domestic affliction (see page 33). 2. The student may appeal any mark given in any achievement of coursework. 3. Students whose name appears on the class list but who are unknown to the instructor shall be awarded the grade “RNP” (Registered, Not Present). Courses to which the RNP designation is applied shall not count toward the student's sessional or cumulative grade point average. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that his/her registration is correct and that Financial & Registration Services is notified of all registration changes. 4. If, in the opinion of the Senate, a student's academic performance is unsatisfactory, the student may be debarred from final examination or examinations, in which case these examinations will be counted as failures. 5. 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. 6. No tests or examinations set in class shall be scheduled by an instructor so as to require students to miss other courses in which they are enrolled. 7. Final examinations will be written at the time and location fixed for individual examinations as published in the Final Examination schedule. 8. Unless expressly permitted by the instructor, the possession of books, notes, diagrams, communication equipment or other aids is prohibited during tests or examinations. 4.2.6 REPEATED COURSES All course attempts, including the grade earned, will remain on the transcript. Where a student repeats a previously attempted course, however, only the most recent grade will form part of the student’s cumulative and degree grade point averages. The previous attempt(s) will have the designation RPT (repeat) placed beside them on the transcript. 4.2.7 INCOMPLETE TERM WORK Where a student has failed to complete one or more course requirements, the instructor, at his or her discretion, may assign a grade of INC (Incomplete) for the course. The instructor will set a date by which the required term work is to be completed, such date to be a maximum of three months from the last date of examinations for the term in which the course was offered. 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. Following the expiration of the specified period of time for completion of the course, the instructor shall submit a grade. Third and Fourth Year Music students registered for recital (including Concerto), and Graduate Music students registered for 65.613--619 courses, may be granted an incomplete in these courses for periods not exceeding twelve months. Extensions may be granted only in exceptional circumstances and require Curriculum and Academic Planning approval. 4.2.8 DEFERRED EXAMINATIONS A Deferred Examination is given only when a student is unable to sit for a final examination because of illness, disability, or domestic affliction. A student shall be given a maximum fixed period of time of up to 3 months in order to clear the Deferred Examination. The period shall be from the last date of Examinations for the term concerned or, in the case of irregularly scheduled courses, up to 3 months after the cessation of classes. A request for a Deferred Examination must be made by a student to the Instructor within 7 days of the end of the examination period. A student may request a deferred final test or exam when medical, compassionate or other circumstances beyond the student’s control create situations in which it is impossible, or causes undue hardship, for the student to write the final test or exam as scheduled. The request will normally be accompanied by documentation that substantiates the request. If the Instructor denies the student's request, the student may appeal to the Dean of the Faculty or School, which teaches the course. If the student's request is again denied, the student has the right to appeal to the Curriculum and Academic Planning Committee of Senate, whose decision shall be final. When a Deferred Examination is granted, the Instructor will indicate on the electronic grade form, both the date by which the deferred exam must be written and the grade that will be applied if the exam is not completed by that date. If, for domestic affliction or medical reasons, a student feels that the date originally set for the clearing of a Deferred Examination should be altered, the Dean of the Faculty/School which teaches the course may, in consultation with the instructor, grant a further extension of up to three months. Any further extension of the Deferred Examination must be considered by the Curriculum and Academic Planning Committee of Senate upon application by the student and with the further recommendation of the instructor. The decision for, and length of, any further extension shall be made by the Committee and shall be final. 4.2.9 SPECIAL EXAMINATIONS 1. In cases where 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, on the approval of the Instructor, Department Chair, and Dean the student may be allowed to sit for a Special Examination. 33 REGISTRATION REGULATIONS 2. A special examination application form available from Financial & Registration Services must be completed and returned to Financial & Registration Services within 21 days of the official publication of the final grades. All Special Examinations must be written within 14 days of approval being given, unless there are extenuating circumstances. 3. A non-refundable fee must accompany a Special Examination application form when it is submitted to Financial & Registration Services (see page 39). 4.2.10 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. 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 PLA 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 he or she has 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) 7277300 for further information or visit online at: http://www.brandonu.ca/senate-office/prior-learning-assessment-recognition-plar/ 4.2.11 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 web or from the Outreach Co-ordinator, 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. 4.2.12 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, Mature or Transfer 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 Financial & Registration Services. Once the Instructor, Department Chair and Dean have given their written approval, the form must be returned to Financial & Registration Services which shall then assess the full tuition fee assessed for the course at the time of application, which is non-refundable. 4.2.13 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), he/she should first consult with the course instructor. After this discussion, if the student still believes the grade is inappropriate and wishes to appeal it, he/she 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 34 REGISTRATION REGULATIONS is warranted, he/she 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, he or she may submit a Grade Appeal Form to the Senate Office and pay the required fee (payable at Financial & Registration Services). Normally, this must be done within 14 days of receiving the Dean’s decision. The student will submit written reasons why he or she believes a change of grade is warranted. The appeal will be heard by the Curriculum and Academic Planning Committee, 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 his/her 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. 4.2.14 PERFORMANCE APPEALS Where a student wishes to appeal the application of any academic regulation (with the exception of grade appeals which are dealt with separately), he or she will submit a Performance Appeal Form to the Senate Office and pay the required fee unless this fee is waived by the Registrar or designate (fees payable at Financial & Registration Services). 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 Curriculum and Academic Planning Committee, following such procedures as the Committee may from time to time establish for hearing appeals. The Committee’s decision shall be final. 4.2.15 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 G.P.A. of 3.5 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 mini- mum G.P.A. of 3.5 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/Co-ordinator 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 Honour List for that year. 4.2.16 PRESIDENT’S HONOUR SOCIETY 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 g.p.a. of 4.0 or better on all courses completed in that period will be inducted into the President’s Honour Society.

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. 4.2.18 STUDENTS OF DISTINCTION Students who receive an undergraduate 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. 4.3 ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENT The progress of a student in the first undergraduate degree program is determined by the letter grade point system (see pages 32 and. 33). Credits earned in any session will be reported by letter grade. To obtain a degree at Brandon University, a student must obtain a minimum 2.0 grade point average (g.p.a.) from not fewer than 90 credit hours for a 3-Year degree, 120 credit hours for a 4-Year 35 REGISTRATION REGULATIONS degree, or 150 for a 5-Year degree unless otherwise specified. Students are referred to the degree regulations affecting the B.Mus. or B.Ed. programs. The total credit hours for a degree are those based on courses (excluding failures and repeats) with earned grades of D or better and which complete the requirements for the degree sought. Any student, upon accumulation of more than 48 credit hours of F and/or repeat courses, will be placed on Academic Withdrawal (see page 36). Grade Point Average: A student's g.p.a is obtained by dividing the sum of the product of credit hours times the numerical grade point equivalent by the total credit hours considered. Students must maintain a cumulative grade point average of 2.0 or better to proceed as a student in good standing. For students in the B.Mus. program a g.p.a. of 2.5 or better is required to move from one year of the program to the next as well as for graduation. Students in the Arts and Science (Honours) Degree program are required to have a 2.5 g.p.a. or better for graduation. In progressing towards a degree, a student: 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. 4.3.1 ACADEMIC PROGRESS 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 on page 36. 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. 4.3.2 STUDENT IN GOOD STANDING Students who have a 2.0 or better cumulative g.p.a. for all credit hours attempted to date will be allowed to proceed in good standing. 4.3.3 ACADEMIC PROBATION Students will be placed on Academic Probation and will remain on Probation if they have, for all credit hours attempted to date, a cumulative grade point average of less than 2.0 but greater than or equal to the minimum academic performance level requirement (see page 36). 4.3.4 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 (see page 36). 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 2.0 grade point average over the academic year. Students who have been suspended will be readmitted on probation. 4.3.5 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 (see page 36). 2. Failed to obtain a minimum of a 2.0 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 seek re-admission from the University Registrar or designate. 4.3.6 ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE TABLE Credit Hours Attempted To From 24 36.5 42.5 48.5 54.5 60.5 38 42 48 54 60 66 (using cumulative g.p.a.)

Where the Registrar decides not to allow the student to continue on probation, the student retains the option of appealing to the Curriculum and Academic Planning Committee in the usual manner. 4.3.8 ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE: 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 a Regular student, subject to the requirements of the Academic Performance Table. If a mature entry student has failed to attain 12 credit hours of “C” in the prescribed 24 credit hours, he/she has not met the requirements for promotion to regular student status and is, therefore, placed on Academic Suspension. Such students must reapply to the Curriculum and Academic Planning Committee for readmission to the University. 4.3.9 ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE: SECOND DEGREE 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 g.p.a. of less than 2.0 will be placed on Academic Probation. If a student has been placed on Academic Probation and fails to achieve a 2.0 sessional g.p.a. 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 g.p.a. of 2.0 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, 4.3.10 POLICIES IN PROFESSIONAL FACULTIES In addition to the University-wide policies with respect to admission, registration and student performance specified in this calendar, individual professional faculties (e.g. Education, Health Studies and Music) may create additional student-related policies to deal with situations unique to the faculty. In the case of a faculty policy directly conflicts with a University-wide policy (with the exception of attendance policies), the University policy shall take precedence. Notwithstanding any appeal procedures specified in faculty policies, any sanctions imposed under such policies may be appealed by the student to the Curriculum and Academic Planning Committee. The decision of the Curriculum and Academic Planning Committee shall be final. 4.3.11 STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS Students who have courses on their transcript which were credited five years or more prior to the start date of the earliest course taken to be counted toward the degree shall at any time prior to graduation be allowed to appeal to the Registrar to have grades for all such courses forfeited. If granted permission to do so, all courses listed on the student's transcript will remain; however grades for the set of courses to which the Statute of Limitations applies will be removed (except in the case of grades of “F Academic Dishonesty”) and replaced by the notation WSL (withdrew Under Statute of Limitations) and the following notation will be placed on their transcripts: “Having discontinued attendance for a period of five years or more prior to the start date of the earliest courses taken to be used for the degree, and having successfully appealed to the Curriculum and Academic Planning Committee, this student has been allowed to forfeit all such previous credits and such courses are designated WSL (Withdrew Under Statute of Limitations) and all such credits are forfeited.” 37 FEE REGULATIONS 4.4 GRADUATION 4.4.1 APPLICATION FOR GRADUATION Every candidate for a degree shall make formal application for graduation on special forms available at the Senate Office.

Complete 90 credit hours in University courses with all requirements and receive the 3-Year B.Sc. or B.A. as per requirements. b) Apply for provisional or formal acceptance to a fourth year of study and not automatically receive a 3-Year degree upon completion of 90 credit hours. Formal acceptance into the B.Sc. 4-Year (Honours) in Psychology only, begins with the completion of an application form available in Financial & Registration Services. If the student is not formally accepted into a 4-Year program, the 3-Year degree will be conferred if requirements are met. If the student is formally accepted to the Fourth Year, but does not successfully complete the requirements of the 4-Year degree, a 3-Year degree will be conferred if all requirements are met. If a student is formally admitted to the Fourth Year, and does complete all requirements, the 4-Year degree will be conferred. An Application for Graduation must be submitted to the Senate Office to be eligible to graduate. Any student who has received a Brandon University degree (commencing with Convocation in May 1968) may formally apply for admission to the fourth year if the three-year graduating record meets the requirements for entrance. Students holding a 3-Year degree from another university may complete at Brandon University beyond the normal 3-Year degree, additional credit hours which may include the completion of 30 credit hours as a normal pre-Master's year to be transferred elsewhere but no Honours degree will be granted. Admission to any graduate program is decided in accordance with criteria established by the department in the School of Graduate Studies of the institution concerned. The 4-Year program in Arts and Science at Brandon University is so constituted that students who do sufficiently well will 47 ANTHROPOLOGY (12) have a reasonable expectation of acceptance into the graduate program of certain universities which recognize the courses in a particular four-year program as a satisfactory background for entry into graduate work in a particular discipline. The graduate school concerned will determine what constitutes an acceptable grade. 6.6.1 MAJOR-MINOR CURRICULUM -- B.B.A. Admission to the Fourth Year There is no formal application procedure to enter the program. Any student admitted to Brandon University can choose to pursue the 4-Year degree. Students are encouraged to declare their intention to pursue the degree with the Departmental Chair and obtain assistance in planning their program of study as early as possible.

(3-Year) degree may do so, provided that all degree requirements for the new degree, as prescribed in the Calendar for the year of conversion, are met. 6.7 BASIC COURSES Study at Brandon University in a 100 level course in some departments may be undertaken only if a student has Senior 4 standing or its certified equivalent or a basic (090/091 level) course in the subject. Brandon University makes available a certain number of basic courses. This measure is intended to provide an opportunity for students to acquire some knowledge of a subject which was not available to them in high school. A student entering Brandon University with Senior 4 or Grade 12 standing in a subject may not take the basic course for credit. Students working for a Brandon University Degree will be allowed to take Brandon University 090/091 level courses (which are non-transferable), with the following conditions: 1. 2. Students may count for credit a maximum of 6 credit hours of 090/091 level courses within any undergraduate degree; 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 only 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.

Case studies from lesser developed countries and regions as well as affluent societies are used to help students develop a critical perspective on the interrelationships 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 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.

This course is an introductory physical geography course that investigates processes in the atmosphere that determines climate and weather. There are three broad areas of study: 1) process in the atmosphere, which determine temperature, precipitation, etc.; 2) atmosphere in motion, which determines the actual weather; and 3) environmental challenges such as air pollution and climate change. First we examine the structure of our planet’s atmosphere, and then we add movement to the system before we delve into topics of global concern such as air pollution and climate change. 3 lecture hours per week, one term. 38:192 ENVIRONMENTAL AND RESOURCE ISSUES (3) Prerequisite: Nil. This course is an introduction to the relationship between humans and the physical world upon which we live. Traditionally, this relationship has involved humans using different portions of the natural environment to benefit society. Often these uses are detrimental to the environment. During lectures and through directed readings and assignments students will learn the ways in which humans impact the natural environment and the issues surrounding the need to minimize negative impacts. Topics covered include energy flow, ecosystem structure, matter cycling, biodiversity, climate change, protected areas, and commons resource management. Cross-registered with (Environmental Science) 31:192 3 lecture hours per week, one term. 38:254 AN INTRODUCTION TO HYDROLOGY (3) Prerequisite: 38:190.

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. 3 lecture hours per week, one term. 38:283 CANADA: A REGIONAL GEOGRAPHY (3) Prerequisite: A first-year Geography course. 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 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 this course and 88:564/38:464/88:464.

The goals of the Department include: 1. 2. 3. the scholarly recognition of Native cultures and Native peoples of North America, bringing to bear the full academic resources of study and research representing all disciplines; the communication of the results of this research and expected new perspectives to students and others through university instruction and scholarly communication; and the dissemination of the teaching and research resources of the university off-campus for the benefit of Native peoples, especially in northern and remote areas. The Department of Native Studies offers both general courses in Native Studies and comprehensive programs of study in six areas, each identified as integral streams for students completing 3- or 4-Year degrees. Each stream is also intended to provide students entering graduate schools or professional studies with a solid background in a particular area of Native Studies. Please note the general requirements of the University in SECTION 6, and the Liberal Education requirements listed on page 42. In order to further the teaching, research and communications functions of Native Studies, the members of the Department (faculty, staff and students) work closely with the Society for the Advancement of Native Studies. The Society publishes an internationally recognized periodical (The Canadian Journal of Native Studies) and encourages research and communication in Native Studies. For information concerning the Justice System Certificate please see page 169. 4-YEAR MAJOR (HONOURS) Successful completion of this major will require completion of a total of 54 credit hours in Native Studies, with a grade point average of at least 3.0 in the best 48 credit hours.

We will trace the transition by focusing on the changing rapport between the official Church and the general body of the faithful. Topics for discussion will include: the cult of the saints, pilgrimage, relics, sermons, the "care of women", Marian devotion, the development of the Corpus Christi feast. We will also examine popular attitudes towards magic, heresy and other forms of religious dissent. Credit cannot be held for both this course and 54:461.

RURAL AND COMMUNITY STUDIES (88) Professor K. Beesley, B.E.S., Ph.D. Associate Professors K. Bessant, B.A., M.A., Ph.D. D. Ramsey, B.A., M.A., Ph.D. (Chair) 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 Co-ordinator, 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 requirements of the University in SECTION 6, and the Liberal Education requirements listed on page 42. 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 program 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. 4-YEAR HONOURS MAJOR A 4-Year Honours Major requires a 3.0 g.p.a. on the credit hours that meet the minimum major requirements.

Cockerline, B.A., B.Ed., M.S.E., Ph.D. This program is intended for Native Teachers who are already employed in schools as teachers' assistants by Frontier School Division, locally controlled schools, or provincial schools. It was started in the summer of 1971 as a project so that native teacher assistants would have an opportunity to acquire a teaching certificate. See http://www.brandonu.ca/pent/. P.E.N.T. students, who work with certified teachers, are unable to leave the schools for long periods, since their services are needed by the school in working with elementary school children whose mother tongue is Cree, Ojibway, or some other native language. The students come from communities as far north as Brochet, Churchill, South Indian Lake and Split Lake. Many are married and have families. Each year they study at Brandon University for four months, from April through July. The P.E.N.T. Curriculum is the regular teacher education program. While at Brandon University, the P.E.N.T. students take a total of twenty-four 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. Upon successful completion of this program, the students are recommended to the Professional Certification Unit of Manitoba Education for certification. It certifies the student 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. 8.5.2 DEPARTMENT OF GRADUATE STUDIES AND FIELD RESEARCH (07) For information on the Graduate Studies and Field Research programs in the Faculty of Education, please refer to the Graduate Studies Calendar or contact the Chair at kirkj@brandonu.ca.

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, the Mary Smart Organ Room (housing a nine-rank tracker-action instrument built and installed in 1988 by Gabriel Kney), 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 281 SCHOOL OF MUSIC through the latest technology. Performance opportunities abound at Brandon University for music students, students from other faculties, and community musicians.

The Eckhardt-Gramatté Conservatory of Music provides instruction to students, young and old, wishing to study on a casual basis or to proceed toward a diploma. Brandon University is an examination centre for mid-winter and mid-summer examinations of Conservatory Canada and the Royal Conservatory of Music. 9.1.2 SCHOLARSHIPS The School of Music is extremely fortunate that, through the generosity of many donors, considerable scholarship assistance is available to music students at Brandon University. All students accepted into the Bachelor of Music program are automatically considered for music scholarships. Music students are also eligible for several University awards, most of which, such as the Sarah Harriet Hall Entrance Scholarships, require an individual application.

Theory and Aural Skills Test: To be successful in the first year of the Bachelor of Music program students need to have a working knowledge of the rudiments of music: all intervals, chord structures, key and meter signatures, notation of rhythm, scales, etc. Applicants will be required to take a test in each area wither at the time of their audition (on campus) or at a later date (either on campus or at another location). The results of these tests do not usually affect admission. However, on the basis of the results students will be placed in the appropriate section of Theory I and may receive suggestions for remedial work prior to entering the program. The theory test will include identification and notification of rhythmic patterns, intervals, chords, scales and key signatures. The ear test will include identification of melodic intervals within an octave, major and minor chords, dictation of melodies (4 - 6 bars of simple duple and triple meter rhythms in a variety of keys) and rhythmic patterns (4 - 6 bars of simple duple and triple meter rhythms, including division of the beat).

Under arrangements between the two universities, students who complete the First Year Agriculture program at Brandon University may apply for admission with full credit into the Second Year program of the University of Manitoba. With the curriculum at the University of Manitoba it is now possible for students to complete a further year of study at Brandon University. For full details concerning the Curriculum in the Faculty of Agriculture and Food Science, students are advised to consult the University of Manitoba General Calendar and the Faculty Advisor. Geographically, Brandon is situated in one of the best agricultural areas of the world. In addition, a well-established Canada Department of Agriculture Research Station, and the Provincial Agricultural Extension Centre are located here. Professional staff of these two centres assisted greatly in the initiation and development of the program. The Agricultural Profession The degree programs in Agriculture are designed to prepare young men and women for service in a profession whose concern is the production, processing and marketing of food. Professional agriculturists hold positions in agricultural extension, in teaching, in research and in business. Thus, agricultural graduates have an important contribution to make to the economy of the nation and, in fact, to the well-being of all Canadians. In recent years many graduates have also served in developing countries. Agriculture is an applied Science. The program of studies includes courses in physical and biological sciences, in mathematics, social sciences and in humanities. With these as a background, major studies may be taken in areas represented by each of the departments in agriculture. Upon graduation, students are eligible for membership in a professional organization -- The Manitoba Institute of Agrologists -- and to practice agrology. An agrologist is "a person who is qualified to teach or to practice the science and art of agriculture or to conduct scientific experiments and research in relation thereto.'' The motto of the profession is "Cibus ad Omnes'' ("Food for All''). Degree Course In Agriculture Effective September 1995, the B.S.A. degree program has been restructured into three new degrees (B.Sc. Agriculture, B.Sc. Agribusiness, B.Sc. Agroecology) with six programs (Agronomy, Animal Systems, Plant Systems, Agricultural Economics, Agribusiness, and Agroecology). At the same time the B.Sc. Food Science degree program has been modified to adjust to the changes in the Faculty core requirements. For details on the core requirements, students are referred to the program advisor.
