It is a provincial university with membership in the Association of Commonwealth Universities and the Association of Univer-sities and Colleges of Canada. The University of Lethbridge participates with the universities and other post-secondary institutions of Alberta in a variety of cooperative programs and activities. The University of Lethbridge was established in 1967 with a student popu-lation of 638 on a shared campus space. It has grown to its current popula-tion of 2,300 full-time students on a campus overlooking the beautiful Oldman River. Another 1,800 students are enrolled in part-time or summer school studies. LOCATION In 1971, the University moved from its shared campus at the Lethbridge Community College to its present location on 457 acres in west Lethbridge. West Lethbridge is a growing sub-division in Alberta's third largest city with a population of 53,000 people. The centre of a prosperous farming and ranching area, Lethbridge is characterized by its many green areas and parks, and its abundant cultural and recreational facilities. It is located in southern Alberta, 90 miles east of the Canadian Rockies and 60 miles north of the United States border. FACILITIES The campus, designed by world-renowned Vancouver architect Arthur Erickson, has received international acclaim for its architectural originality and functional design. University Hall Focal point of the campus is University Hall where students learn, study and live. Housing the cafeteria, residence, classrooms, science laborator-ies, library, bookstore and administrative offices, this facility provides everything under one roof. The Performing Arts Centre This magnificent facility, officially opened in September, 1981, houses the Departments of Art, Dramatic Arts, Music and the Fine Arts components of the Faculty of Education. It features a 406-seat multi-purpose theatre, a 203-seat recital hall/film theatre, the University Art Gallery, classrooms, practice rooms and studios. The Centre has become the focus of southern Alberta's cultural scene offering world-class performances in the arts in addition to numerous faculty and student productions. Physical Education Building For physical education majors as well as those who want a break from their studies, this facility provides gymnasia, weight room, sauna and steam room facilities in addition to the classrooms, administrative offices and auxiliary spaces. Adjacent to the building is an Olympic standard track, soccer pitch and tennis courts. Service Buildings Four service buildings complete the campus, housing a Day Care Centre and various service departments. Planned Development Plans are underway for construction of a project which would include a Student Activities Centre, a Regional Aquatic Centre, additional class-rooms, office and court facilities for the Physical Education Building, and a multi-purpose fieldhouse. PROGRAMS The Faculty of Arts and Science offers instruction leading to bachelor degrees in Arts and Science (B.A. or B.Sc.), Fine Arts (B.F.A.) and Music (B.Mus.). The Faculty of Education offers instruction leading to a bachelor degree in Education (B.Ed.) and to the post-baccalaureate professional diploma in Education (D.P.E.). The School of Management offers instruc-tion leading to a bachelor degree in Management (B.Mgt.). The School of Nursing offers instruction leading to a bachelor degree (post-basic) in Nursing (B.N.). The University also offers programs for transfer of credit to professional faculties at other universities in Agriculture, Dentistry, Engineering, Envir-onmental Design, Food Science, Forestry, Home Economics, Law, Library Science, Medicine, Optometry, Pharmacy, Social Welfare and Veterinary Medicine. A public service program is designed to meet the variety of educational needs and interests evident in the community. It consists of certificate programs, non-credit instruction, seminars, conferences, exhibitions, per-formances and workshops in the University's fields of study. These pro-grams are offered both on campus and at off-campus centres. 4 STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY In the process of transmitting and advancing higher learning, The University of Leth-bridge endeavours to cultivate humane values; it seeks to foster intellectual growth, social development, aesthetic sensitivity, personal ethics and physical well-being; it seeks to cultivate the transcendental dimension of the scholar's personality. Flexibility and openness to innovation will be the distinguishing feature of The Univer-sity of Lethbridge. Notwithstanding its intention to offer diverse subject matter contributing to the acquisi-tion of professional skills, the University regards learning as an end in itself, not merely as a means to material ends. Its primary aims are to foster the spirit of free inquiry and the critical interpretation of ideas. The undergraduate is, and should remain, the focus of the University's endeavour. Students are invited to participate in all phases of university life. The highest degree of interaction between students and faculty is encouraged, and should not be confined to the physical limits of the campus. It is desirable and necessary that the University should relate closely to the local community. Nevertheless, its outlook should not be determined by any regional or sectional interest. Through exposures to cosmopolitan influences and diverse cultures, the scholar is best able to evaluate his own social and cultural milieu. The University asserts its right and responsibility for free expression and communica-tion of ideas. It is self-evident that a university cannot function without complete autonomy in this domain. 5 ACADEMIC CALENDAR 1983 - 1984 1983 JULY 1 Friday - First day of the 1983/84 academic year - Statutory Holiday- University closed. 5 Tuesday - First day of classes for Summer Session II.

GENERAL INFORMATION To gain admission into an academic program at The University of Leth-bridge, an applicant must meet all the admission requirements for that program. The admission requirements for each program are set forth in this section of the Calendar, along with the procedure for application for admission. Every first-year student is admitted into the Faculty of Arts and Science. This admission is for applicants who intend: 1. To study for the degree Bachelor of Arts and Science; 2. To prepare for later admission to the Bachelor of Education, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Management, and Bachelor of Music pro-grams; 3.

To commence general university studies without committing them-selves initially to a particular program. Admission to the B.Ed., B.F.A., B.Mgt., and B.Mus. programs occurs at the third-year level of university studies. Students preparing to seek admission to these programs must be sure to select courses during their studies in the Bachelor of Arts and Science program that fulfill the admission require-ments. Applicants who intend to enrol in one of the professional transfer programs should note that the transfer programs may have more recommended admission subjects than required for the Bachelor of Arts and Science program. An applicant without the recommended admission subjects for a particular professional transfer program may be admissible to the Bache-lor of Arts and Science program, but then may require a longer period to complete the professional transfer program. Applicants who have previously attended one or more other post-secondary institutions must meet the admission requirements of the intended University of Lethbridge program. Such applicants may need to seek admission to the Bachelor of Arts and Science program in order to complete the requirements for subsequent admission to the B.Ed., B.F.A., B.Mgt., and B.Mus. programs.

Credit courses successfully completed are credited toward degree require-ments upon admission as a full-time student. ENROLMENT AS AN OCCASIONAL STUDENT The Occasional Student Enrolment route is designed to enable mature persons to enrol in university courses as part-time students, without having to present any formal educational records. This enrolment plan will partic-ularly appeal to those persons who wish iriitially to take courses for general interest, but who may wish to apply for admission sometime in the future. For further information, see page 16. Enrolment as an occasional student does not constitute admission. VISITING STUDENT For admission to The University of Lethbridge, visiting students require written authorization from the sending institution. SECOND DEGREE STUDENT Applicants with undergraduate degrees from professional faculties are admissible to the Bachelor of Arts and Science program. Depending upon their applicability to the curriculum in Arts and Science and the standard of performance achieved in them, some of the courses taken for the profes-sional degree may be credited toward the B.A./B.Sc. Applicants are not admissible to the Bachelor of Arts and Science program who possess either the degrees B.A. or B.Sc. in the Arts and Science from recognized institutions. However, such applicants may be admitted as special students in order to pursue studies of interest. Applicants with undergraduate degrees, other than a B.Ed. degree, are admissible to the Bachelor of Education program. Applicants are not admissible to the B.Mgt. program who possess the degree B.Com . or its equivalent from recognized institutions.

TRANSFER STUDENTS Applicants who have previously attended one or more other post-secondary educational institutions must meet the admission requirements of the intended University of Lethbridge program. Such applicants may need to seek admission to the Bachelor of Arts and Science program in order to complete,the requirements for subsequent admission to the B.Ed., B.F.A., B.Mgt., or B.Mus. programs. Upon admission, students are assigned credit for subjects that are com-parable to courses offered at The University of Lethbridge and passed with acceptable grades. Specified credit in a subject area is assigned when there is a University of Lethbridge course equivalent to the course being transferred. Unspecified credit in a subject area is assigned when there is no course equivalent, but the course being transferred is acceptable in meeting subject requirements for a degree. Applicants who have completed courses at Alberta colleges are referred to the Provincial Transfer Guide for detailed information about credit. The Guide is available through the College Registrar.

Academic Standing Student in Good Standing One who has maintained a grade- point-average of 2.00 or higher. Probationary Student One who has been admitted (or permitted to continue) on a probationary basis because the previous academic record is either deficient in some respect, below the standard ordinarily required, or difficult to assess. Normally a student meeting the conditions stipulated may apply for regular student status. OCCASIONAL STUDENT ENROLMENT The Occasional Student Enrolment route is designed to enable mature persons to enrol in university courses as part-time students, without having to present any formal educational records. This enrolment plan will partic-ularly appeal to those persons who wish initially to take courses for general interest, but who may wish to apply for regular admission sometime in the future. A student may enrol as an Occasional Student under the following conditions: 1. Enrolment is explicitly as an Occasional Student. 2. Occasional Student Enrolment does not constitute formal admission to the University. 3. The student has not been required to withdraw from this or any other university within the last year. 16 4. Enrolment is limited to part-time status (one or two courses per semes-ter). 5. Course prerequisites must be met where applicable. Students propos-ing to enrol in Education courses must seek prior approval from the faculty's Associate Dean, Student Program Services. 6. Occasional Students have lowest priority in classes where enrolment is limited. 7. Occasional Students may apply for formal admission .at any time through one of the approved admission routes. 8. A maximum of two courses taken as an Occasional Student may be counted toward degree or certificate requirements. ' 9. No official transcripts are issued for an occasional student. The procedure for Occasional Student Enrolment is as follows: 1. The student must enrol no later than one week following commence-ment of the first class. 2. To enrol, the student must submit to the Registrar's Office the Oc'ca-sional Student Enrolment Form completed in every respect and accompanied by the full fees. No supporting documentation is re-quired. GRADING SYSTEM The University employs a letter system of grading. The overall academic performance of a student is expressed in terms of the grade-point-average (G.P.A.) Letter Grade Grade Points A - Excellent 4 B - Superior 3 C - Satisfactory 2 D - Poor 1 F - Failing Non-Grade Designation Incomplete Withdrawal Continuing Credit Nc No Credit Pass COURSES NOT INCLUDED Courses not included in the grade-point-average are: courses transferred from another institution, courses accredited by challenge, and courses designated Credit/Non-Credit or Pass/Fail. I - Incomplete The designation of 1 is awarded only in case of illness or other extenuating circumstances, beyond the control of the student, which make it impossi-ble to complete the required work by the close of a semester. The !- designation is awarded only on application to and approval of both the instructor and the Dean/Director; and such application is not entertained until the last two weeks of classes. The 1-designation may be converted by the instructor to A, B, C, D, F, Cr, NC or a P grade within one year; if not so converted, it becomes an "F" except where circumstances continue to prevent the completion of the course in which case the "1" designation remains on the transcript. An "I" designation assigned in an Education Field Experience course has a different interpretation. Details are available from the Associate Dean, Student Program Services. W - Withdrawal A designation of W may be recorded at any time after the first week of classes, up to and including the ninth week of classes. The W-designation shall be awarded only upon formal application by the student or his agent to the Registrar. - X - Continuing Currently used for applied Studies courses only which may extend beyond one semester. Signifies that a grade will be awarded at the conclusion of the course. Cr/Nc - Credit/Non-Credit Alternative A student may elect to take some courses as credit/non-credit. This alter-native is offered to encourage students to expand their academic interests by taking courses outside their field of major interest. Under the credit/non-credit alternative, either credit (Cr) or non-credit (NC) is awarded in place of a letter grade. For satisfactory completion of course requirements, the designation Cr is awarded. If course require-ments are not fulfilled, the student is awarded the designation Nc. Courses taken as credit/non-credit are not included in computation of the grade-point- average. If requested by the student, substitution of Cr by a letter grade is permitted until thirty days after grades have been mailed. In such a case, the course is included in the grade-point-average computation. A student may elect credit/non-credit in a maximuM Of two courses per semester, but may not elect more than a total of eight for credit toward a degree. The credit/non-credit alternative must be declared at the time of registration. Replabing Cr with a letter grade in a course taken as credit/non-credit does not permit a student to enrol in more than a maxi-mum of eight such courses. The credit/non-credit alternative may not be elected in courses in the student's major, nor in required courses in Education. Within the overall limit of eight, Education .students may elect a maximum of three Education courses as credit/non-credit. For the purpOse of this regulation, Manage-ment courses are regarded as the major for the degree B.Mgt., and Nursing courses are regarded as the major for the degree B.N. ' Transfer students or students pursiiing a second degree may elect to take courses as credit/non-credit on a proportional basis. P - Pass/Fail Courses Certain courses are specified as Pass/Fail in the course descriptions. For such courses, students are awarded either the designation P or the grade F. The designation P indicates satisfactory completion of the ojectives of a Pass/Fail course. When a student is awarded the designation P, the course is not included in computation of the grade-point-average; when the stu-dent is awarded F: the course is included in computation of the grade-point- average. Students who intend to transfer to other institutions are advised that some institutions do not recognize courses for which 'grades are not assigned. 17 REPEAT OF A COURSE If a student repeats a course all attempts are recorded on the transcript, but upon the student's application, only the most recent grade is computed in the grade-point-average. The student must apply to the Registrar's Office for this change. The original letter grade may not be replaced by the credit/non-credit designations. STUDENT APPEALS Students dissatisfied with the application of an academic policy or regula-tion to their own status are entitled to a review by the Dean of the Faculty or the Director of the School in which they are registered. If still dissatisfied after this review, the student may address a written appeal to the Dean or Director who renders the final decision on behalf of the Faculty of School. A student may appeal a decision on behalf of the Faculty or School to the General Faculties Council. APPEAL OF GRADE The initial appeal of a grade by a student must be made directly to the instructor within 30 days after the grade report is mailed by the Registrar. If the instructor is not available, the student must notify the Dean of the Faculty or the Director of the School within the 30 day period. If the student's concern is not resolved in the initial stage, a written appeal must be forwarded to the Registrar no later than 45 days after the date of mailing of the grade report. The Registrar will refer the appeal to the appropriate Dean/Director for consideration by a Faculty/School Grade Appeal Committee. The Grade Appeal Committee must reach a decision on the appeal no later than 30 days from the date the Registrar has referred the appeal to the Dean/Director. The student may appeal the decision of the Grade Appeal Committee to the General Faculties Council. The appeal must be submitted to the Secretary of the General Faculties Council no later than 20 days after the decision by the Grade Appeal Committee has been mailed. If the student fails to meet a stipulated time limit, the appeal shall be deemed lost and the appeal procedure terminated. It is understood that the appeallant may terminate the appeal at any stage. ADVANCED PLACEMENT Students may have had some educational experience that provides much of the background usually acquired in an introductory course. In such cases, the student may seek the permission of the Faculty/School to enrol in advanced courses. Students granted such advanced placement may not subsequently take for degree credit the introductory course in the same discipline. CHALLENGE FOR CREDIT Students may challenge for academic credit in courses at or above the 1000 level on the basis of knowledge or experience gained outside a formal academic context. The course challenge fee is one-half the regular tuition fee and is payable in advance. No grade is assigned for a course by challenge, nor does the credit count toward the residence requirement. The policy does not permit challenge for unspecified credit, Independent Study, Applied Study topics courses, or seminars. Challenge for credit is not available for Education courses. There are limitations on eligibility to challenge for credit in Arts and Science, Man-agement, and Nursing. Consult the Dean or Directors for further informa-tion. STUDY AT OTHER UNIVERSITIES AS A VISITING STUDENT As it may suit their program, and within the Faculty/School residence requirement, students in good standing may be authorized to take courses at another university if their registration as a visiting student is acceptable to that institution. Application for such authorization must be approved in advance. It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that an official transcript of grades is sent to the Registrar at The University of Lethbridge. ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT PERFORMANCE Within the policies of the Academic Councils, an instructor bears full responsibility for evaluating the academic performance of students. An instructor must indicate at the beginning of each course the detailed manner by which work will be evaluated and the final grades derived, and, upon request, to communicate to students an estimation of their level of performance by the end of the eighth week of the semester. An instructor may prescribe a variety of forms of evaluation, such as recitations, papers and other works, mid-term examinations, and a final examination. If a final examination is prescribed, it is administered during the examination period indicated in the Calendar of the University, and is limited to a maximum of three hours. No testing outside the procedures of normal class meeting is permitted during the last two weeks of the regular class schedule. Final grades are determined in accordance with the grading system des-cribed in this Calendar. All grades for courses and Independent Study are submitted to the Office of the Dean or Director by the date set at the end of each session. Except when a Course Incomplete has been approved by both the instructor and the Dean/Director there is no provision for the late submission, revision or evaluation of student's work or the late submission of grades. ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY The University of Lethbridge recognizes that proficiency in written and spoken English are key components of a liberal arts education. Both during university and after graduation, students must be able to understand the ideas of others and to express their own ideas clearly and effectively. Thus, the University requires that students meet a minimum English language proficiency standard. Although English language proficiency involves many skills, the University places special emphasis on writing competence, and requires all students to pass the Alberta Universities' Writing Competence Test (AUWCT). More specifically, 1. All students who begin studies at The University of Lethbridge after July 1, 1983, are required to meet a minimum AUWCT standard before a degree is granted. 2. The AUWCT must be written by all students within the first semester following their admission to the University. For those failing to meet the standard, instruction is available through Writing Services. Fees may be charged for such services, and for testing and re-testing. 3. All students entering the Faculty of Arts and Science as freshmen or with first-year standing must meet the minimum AUWCT standard within 24 months from the date of admission, or before completion of their 20th course, whichever comes first. 18 19 B.A./B.Sc., B.Mgt. as the first degree: 20 courses, including the final 10 offered for credit toward the degree. B.A./B.Ed„ B.Sc./B.Ed. as the first or second degree: 12 courses. 30 courses, including 20 in Arts and Science and 10 in Education. D.P.E. 10 courses, including 6 in Education. 4 Except in those Schools and Faculties which require a writing compe-tency standard for admission, all students transferring from another institution with second-year standing (8 - 17 courses) or more, must meet the minimum AUWCT standard within 12 months from the date of admission. 5 Any Faculty or School may demand of its students additional levels of competence beyond the minimum AUWCT standard. 6 Carefully considered exceptions to requirements 2, 3 and 4 above could apply to students whose first language is other than English. RESIDENCE REQUIREMENTS A student with transfer credit who is a candidate for a degree must satisfy the minimum residence requirement through successful completion of courses, or their equivalent, excluding credit by challenge, at The Univer-sity of Lethbridge as follows: Each transfer student and each candidate for second degree requires Faculty approval of the total study program in advance. as the second degree: the final 10 courses offered for credit toward the degree. as the second degree: 15 courses including the last 5 offered for credit toward the degree. as the first or second degree: the final 20 courses offered for credit toward the degree. as the first or second degree: 20 courses, including 10 in Education. CANDIDATES FOR SECOND DEGREES Each candidate for second degree requires Faculty or School approval of the total study program in advance. TAPING OF LECTURES Lectures and performances given by academic staff members and visiting speakers may be audio or video recorded by students provided prior approval has been granted by the instructor or performer. Permission to record is solely for the purpose of personal study by the student and does not convey any rights to duplicate the recording. B.Mgt B.A./B.Sc.1 B.Ed. B.F.A. B.Mus. FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCE Dean — A.F. Cassis Associate Dean, Student Affairs — P. Butterfield Associate Dean, Administrative Affairs — L.G. Hoye Coordinator, Academic Advising — W.B. Lambert Professional Transfer Programs Advisor — M. Sandilands The Faculty of Arts and Science offers instruction in the humanities, the fine arts, and the natural, social, and mathematical sciences. The objective of the Faculty is to provide liberal education, stressing the cultivation of critical and analytical attitudes, the recognition of facts and their relation-ships, the comprehension of abstract thought, and the structure of ideas. While the Faculty regards learning primarily as an end in itself, it acknowl-edges also its function of contributing to the programs of students whose aims are professional or vocational. At The University of Lethbridge, all first-year students, whatever their educational goals, enter the Faculty of Arts and Science. At least half of every degree program offered in the University is taken within the Faculty of Arts and Science. Thus, students entering the Faculty may begin study for the degree Bachelor of Arts and Science; or prepare for later admission to the Bachelor of Education, Bachelor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Manage-ment, or Bachelor of Music programs. They may enrol in one of the profes-sional transfer programs (see page 36), or they may commence University studies without committing themse
