It evolved from the University Section of the Lethbridge Junior College, which for the previous decade had offered introductory courses for university transfer credit. Its policies and programs reflect the institutional statement of philosophy that emerged from the inaugural planning conference at Waterton in August of 1967. The University is a member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities and the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, and participates with the universities and other post-secondary institutions of Alberta in a variety of cooperative programs and activities. In performing its primary functions of teaching, research and public service, the University consciously strives to be incorporated into the intellectual fabric of the Southern Alberta community. The University's instructional resources and facilities are arranged to accommodate a broad sector of the population. The "campus" encompasses a number of satellite instructional centres throughout the region. The daily teaching schedule spans a fourteen hour period from early morning to late evening. The academic year becomes twelve months in duration through the integral planning of Summer Session, Fall Semester and Spring Semester. A significant component of the University's research is devoted to regional studies, the results of which enhance the social and cultural well-being of the immediate community, as well as contributing to the scope of human knowledge. The 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, performances and workshops in the University's fields of study, 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 Lethbridge endeavors 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 University of Lethbridge. Notwithstanding its intention to offer diverse subject matter contributing to the acquisition 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 endeavor. 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 communication of ideas. It is self-evident that a university cannot function without complete autonomy in this domain. 1 NOVEMBER 1974 SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI 1 SAT 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 , 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 , OCTOBER 1974 SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 SEPTEMBER 1974 SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 JULY 1974 SUN MON 1 TUE 2 WED 3 THU 4 FRI 5 SAT 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 AUGUST 1974 SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 , ACADEMIC CALENDAR 1974 - 1975 1974 JULY 1 Monday — First day of the 1974-75 academic year.

Under the system currently employed by the University, the following definitions apply: Registration — The student registers by completing a Registra-tion Form which provides personal data such as name, address, faculty, etc., and which signifies am intention to enroll in a course or courses. Enrolment — The student enrolls in specific courses (subsequent to Registration) by submitting class cards to instructors of specific courses, recording such data on study lists and filing study lists in the Registrar's Office. NOTES 1. New Students After an application has been processed, the applicant is advised of his eligibility for admission. If admissible, he receives full instruction on the procedures to be followed to complete registration and enrolment. 2. In-Course Students A student currently registered at the University is notified of the details of registration and enrolment procedures at the appro-priate time. 3. Changes in Enrolment No changes other than withdrawals from individual courses are permitted after the study list has been filed. 4, Late Penalty Fee Students who fail to complete registration or enrolment during the specified period are assessed a late penalty fee. REGISTRATION AND ENROLMENT IN OFF-CAMPUS COURSES Each semester the University offers courses at a number of centres away from the campus. Registration and enrolment in these courses may be done through the mail. Special registration and enrolment forms are available at the Registrar's Office. WITHDRAWAL Complete Withdrawal A student wishing to withdraw must notify the University by submitting a completed Withdrawal Form, obtainable from the Registrar's Office. Failure to comply with this requirement results in the assignments of failing grades, and full assessmens of fees. (See Fee Refund). Grades are not assigned when a 'student withdraws before the last class of a semester. Students enrolled in Summer Session should consult the Summer Session calendar for details of the Complete Withdrawal procedure. Course Withdrawal A student who withdraws officially from a course or courses, while remaining enrolled in one or more courses, before the end of the 9th week of a Fall or Spring Semester, is assigned a "W" designation in the courses from which he withdrew. A student who enrolls in two courses (part-time student) is entitled to a prorated refund for withdrawn courses (See Fee Refund). A full-time student who withdraws from courses should be aware that, if such transaction results in his enrolment in fewer than three courses, he is then reclassified as a part-time student and is entitled to a prorated refund for withdrawn courses. Advantages accruing to the student by virtue of his full-tiMe status are at that point nullified both within the University and with extern'al agencies including the Alberta Students' Finance Board. Students enrolled in Summer Session should consult the Summer Session calendar for details of the course withdrawal procedure. CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS Students are classified in three ways: (a) by work load (full-time or part-time) (b) by year (c) by objective Work Load A full-time student is one enrolled in three or more courses in a semester. A part-time student is enrolled in fewer than three courses in a semester. Year A student is classified as first year until seven (7) semester courses have been successfully completed. Students who have successfully completed eight (8) to seventeen (17) (inclusive) semester courses are awarded second year standing, eighteen (18) to twenty-seven (27) courses third year standing and twenty-eight (28) or more courses fourth year standing. Objective Regular student is one who has satisfied all the admission requirements and is pursuing a program of studies leading to a degree. Special student is one who has been formally admitted to the university but is not pursuing a program of studies leading to a degree. Visiting student (a) At the University of Lethbridge: a student from another accredited university or college who enrolls in courses at The University of Lethbridge with the credit to be applied toward a program at his home institution. Such a student is required to present a letter from a responsible officer of his home institution authorizing enrolment in specific courses at The University of Lethbridge that are acceptable for credit at the home institution. (b) University of Lethbridge student visiting another institution: a student intending to study at another institution for credit at The University of Lethbridge should consult the dean's office in order to obtain written authorization in advance to complete a course or courses at the other institution. Probationary Student is one who has been admitted (or permitted to continue) on a probationary basis because his previous academic record is either deficient in some respect, below the standard ordinarily required, or difficult to assess. Normally if such a student meets the conditions stipulated, he may apply for regular student status. Mature students are initially admitted on a probationary basis and if successful in university studies, their probationary status is automatically removed. Auditing Student is one who has been granted permission by the instructor and the Dean of the Faculty concerned to attend lectures in a course on the understanding that he may not participate in class discussions (except by invitation of the instructor), submit assign-ments, sit for examinations or receive degree credit for the course. 10 FEES AND EXPENSES FEE SCHEDULE 1.

TIMETABLE Normally, classes start at 8:00 a.m. on a fifty minute schedule Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and on a seventy-five minute schedule Tuesdays and Thursdays. Some classes may be scheduled on Saturday ,, if necessary, or in the evening. Normal lecture time is 3 hours per week, excluding laboratories. Special timetabling is arranged for Summer Session. APPLICATION FOR DEGREE A student who expects to graduate at Spring Convocation must complete an Application for Degree no later than registration day for that Spring Semester. Forms are obtainable from the Registrar's Office. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that his or her name is included in the graduation list. GRADING SYSTEM The University employs a letter system of grading. Letter Grade Grade Points A — Excellent 4 B — Superior 3 C — Average 2 D — Poor 1 F — Failing 0 I — Incomplete N/A P — Pass N/A Cr — Credit N/A NC — No Credit N/A The overall academic performance of a student is expressed in terms of the grade-point-average (G.P.A). F - Failing This grade indicates a failure and is assigned to a student who does not satisfy the objectives of the course. I - Incomplete. The designation of I is given only in cases of illness or other extenuating circumstances, beyond the control of the student, which make it impossible to complete the required work by the close of a semester. The I - designation is awarded only on application to and with approval of both the instructor and the dean; and such application is not entertained until the last two weeks of classes. The I - 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 remains thereafter as an "I". In case of an I - designation in Education field experience courses, students should consult the Coordinator of Teacher Education, as a different interpretation of incomplete applies for these courses. W - withdrawal without prejudice. A designation of W may be recorded at any time after the first two weeks of classes, up to and including the ninth week of classes. The W designation shall be assigned only upon formal application by the student or his agent to the Registrar. (W designations are disregarded in computing a student's grade-point-average.) P - pass. This designation indicates that the student has satisfactorily completed the objectives of the course. No points are assigned for the computation of the grade-point-average. Cr • credit. This designation indicates that the student has satisfactorily completed the objectives of the course. No points are assigned for the computation of the grade-point-average. If the objectives are not met in a credit/non-credit course, the student is assigned no credit (NC). Credit/Non-Credit Courses Credit/non-credit courses are offered by the University to encourage students to expand their academic interest by enrolling in courses outside their fields of major interest and receiving either Credit (Cr) or Non-Credit (NC) in place of the usual letter grade. A student may enroll in a maximum of two credit/non-credit courses per semester but may not enroll in more than a total of eight for credit toward a degree. Such courses must be declared at the time of enrolment. Successful completion of course requirements results in Cr being recorded on the student's transcript; an NC is recorded if course requirements are not fulfilled. The credit/non-credit courses are not considered in computing the student's grade-point-average. Substitution of "credit" by a normal letter grade is permitted until thirty days after grades have been mailed, if requested by the student. In such a case, the letter grade is included in the student's grade-point-average computation. Replacing a "credit" with a letter grade in any credit/non-credit course does not enable the student to enroll in more than a maximum of eight such courses. A student may not enroll in credit/non-credit courses in his major, nor in required courses in Education (i.e. required foundation courses, professional semester courses, three introductory behavioral sciences). Within the over-all limit of eight, Education students may enroll in a maximum of three credit/non-credit courses in Professional Education (including Education 3160). Transfer students and students pursuing a second degree may enroll in credit/non-credit courses on a proportional basis. APPEAL OF GRADE A student dissatisfied with an assigned grade in an Arts and Science course may request that the instructor review the grade. If after this review the student is still dissatisfied, he may address a written appeal to the chairman of the department concerned. Either the student or the instructor then may appeal the department's decision to the Faculty of Arts and Science, and finally to the General Faculties Council. The initial appeal to the instructor must be made not later than two weeks after the beginning of the following semester, not counting Summer Session. 12 A student dissatisfied with an assigned grade in an Education course may request that the instructor review the grade. If after this review the student is still dissatisfied, he may address a written appeal to the Faculty of Education, and finally to the General Faculties Council. The initial appeal to the instructor must be made not later than thirty days after grade reports are mailed by the Registrar. A student initiating an appeal beyond the instructor should inform the Dean of the Faculty concerned, and obtain full details of the procedure. ADVANCE CREDIT An applicant who has successfully completed work at another university or college may be assigned credit for subjects passed that are comparable to courses offered at The University of Lethbridge or from comparable programs. Courses taken by correspondence from recognized universities are considered only for introductory course credit. 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 to the Faculty in meeting subject requirements for a degree. Advance credit in the Faculty of Arts and Science is not usually assigned for work completed ten or more years prior to admission. 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 University of Lethbridge as follows: B.A. as the first degree twenty semester courses, including the final ten offered for credit toward the degree B.A. as the second degree the final ten semester courses offered for credit toward the degree B.F.A. or B.Mus. as the first or second degree the final twenty semester courses offered for credit toward the degree B.Ed. as the first or second degree the final ten semester courses offered for credit toward the degree Note: Each transfer student and each candidate for second degree requires Faculty approval of his total study program in advance. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 13 FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCE Dean — — F.Q. Quo Associate Dean — P. Butterfield Coordinator, Continuing Education — The University offers instruction in the Arts, the Sciences and the Fine Arts leading to the degrees Bachelor of Arts and Science (B.A.), Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.), and Bachelor of Music (B. Mus.). A full-time student carrying the normal academic load of five courses per semester may complete the degree in eight semesters. However, it is possible for a student to attain the degree in fewer than four academic years by carrying a heavier study load, by attending Summer Sessions, or by undertaking independent study during the intervals between semesters. The objective of the Faculty of Arts and Science is to provide liberal education, stressing the cultivation of critical and analytical atti-tudes, the recognition of facts and their relationships, the compre-hension of abstract thought, and the structure of ideas. The curriculum is designed to permit a student to establish a broad foundation of general studies during the first four semesters. Subsequently he may either continue in general studies or concen-trate upon a disciplinary or multidisciplinary study in depth. The flexibility of the semester system and the dearth of academic regulations permit students, within the limitations of the Univer-sity's resources, to follow to a large extent their own interests in the selection of courses and areas of study. With guidance from faculty, students may elect independent study, may initiate courses of instruction in topics of special interest, and may design degree programs particularly oriented toward their own needs. Colloquium Study is available on a limited scale for students who wish to develop experimental programs of study outside of the regular curriculum. The student has the option to enroll in a limited number of credit/non-credit courses in order to encourage his exploration of subjects in areas other than his principal interest without effect on his general academic standing. Each introductory course is designed to emphasize the main concepts of the discipline, both historical and contemporary, rather than to provide a comprehensive survey of the subject. Hence its value is most effectively realized if followed by a sequel or sequels in the same subject, each intended to develop in depth one or more of the principal concepts of the introductory course. ACADEMIC ADVISING Because of the flexible curriculum, it is important that all students, new or returning, seek academic advice concerning their aims, programs, and standing. It is advantageous to consult advisors during the weeks prior to the beginning of classes, but advisors are available to students throughout the year. Academic Advising is coordinated by the office of the Associate Dean. MAJOR The great variety possible within the major requirement with respect to both the number and selection of courses necessitates that a student plan with care a major program that will meet his individual aims and requirements. These might include either graduate school or professional school admission, vocational goals, or integration Of the major with liberal studies. It is therefore crucial that a student obtain advice on the design of his particular major program from Faculty and Department advisors. GRADUATE STUDIES Meeting the requirements for a major at the University of Lethbridge does not necessarily satisfy the requirements of graduate schools, and therefore a student considering graduate studies should consult the chairman of his major department by the time he has decided upon a major. PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS Students planning admission to professional faculties are advised to consult the office of the Dean, notwithstanding the professional transfer program being detailed elsewhere in this Calendar. ACADEMIC REGULATIONS ACADEMIC STANDARDS For graduation, a student must attain a minimum cumulative grade-point-average of 2.00 on courses taken at The University of Lethbridge for credit toward the degree. No exceptions are permitted. Courses from another institution accredited to a transfer student are not included in calculation of the grade-point-average. In order to retain a satisfactory academic standing, a student must maintain a grade-point-average of 2.00 or above at all stages in his progress toward a degree. If the grade-point-average falls below this level, the student is placed on probation, or may be required to withdraw from the University. A student dismissed for academic reasons after one semester may apply for readmission after a lapse of one semester. An application for readmission must include evidence that the causes of previous unsatisfactory work have been identified and removed. If a student is readmitted, the courses taken during the unsuccessful semester are not accredited, nor are they included in calculation of the grade-poi n t-average. A student dismissed for academic reasons after two or more semesters may apply for readmission after a lapse of one full year. If he is readmitted, the courses taken during the unsuccessful semesters are not included in calculation of the grade-point-average, but limited credit may be assigned. DISTINCTION AND GREAT DISTINCTION Degrees with Distinction or Great Distinction are conferred upon students who have displayed outstanding academic performances during their undergraduate education. ADVANCED PLACEMENT It frequently occurs that a student has had some educational experience that provides much of the background usually acquired in an introductory course. In such a case, the student may seek the permission of the department to enroll in advanced courses. CHALLENGE FOR CREDIT At the time of admission to the Faculty of Arts and Science, a student may challenge for academic credit in courses at or above the 1000 level on the basis of knowledge or experience gained outside of a formal educational context. The student's eligibility to challenge for credit is determined by the Dean of Arts and Science. No grade is assigned for a course accredited by challenge, nor does the credit count toward the residence requirement. 15 VISITING STUDENTS As it may suit his program, and within the Arts & Science residence requirement, a student may be authorized to take some of his course work at another university if his registration as a visiting student is acceptable to that institution. Application for such authorization must be made to, and approved in advance by, the office of the Dean. It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that an official transcript of grades is sent to the Registrar at Lethbridge. ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT PERFORMANCE Within the policies of the Council of the Faculty of Arts and Science, an instructor bears full responsibility for the evaluation of the academic performance of his students. An instructor is obliged to indicate to his students at the beginning of each course the detailed manner by which their work will be evaluated and their final grades derived, and, upon request, to communicate to a student an estimation of his 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. Final examinations are limited to a maximum of three hours. No testing outside of the procedures of normal class meeting is initiated during the last two weeks of the regular class schedule. LIMITATION OF ENROLMENT The Faculty of Arts and Science reserves the right to limit enrolment in any course in order to maintain the quality of instruction. The limitation is imposed only when the teaching resources, in terms either of instructors or physical space, become exhausted. In such circumstances, priority for the enrolment of students who possess the specified prerequisites is proposed as follows: For 2000 level courses preference is given to majors with second year standing and then to other students with second year standing; for 3000 level courses preference is given to majors with third year standing and then to other students with third year standing, and for 4000 level courses, to majors with fourth year standing and then to other students with fourth year standing. The year of standing through previous successful completion of a specified number of semester courses is as follows: Second year 8 to 17 Third year — 18 to 27 Fourth year — 28 or more Exceptions to the above procedure for legitimate reasons will be dealt with through consultation between the Dean and the Department concerned (e.g. the curricular needs of pre-professional students or students desiring to enroll in courses offered in alternate years). INDEPENDENT STUDY A student in Arts and Science may obtain credit in any subject through independent study, which is designated by the numbers 2990, 3990, and 4990 in a particular discipline, indicating the level of advancement of the work. Independent study may be elected as early as the second semester or as late as the last, depending upon the capability of the student for undertaking academic work with a minimum of guidance. Indepen-dent study may take a variety of forms including library research, laboratory research projects, field study, and authorized study at another university. Each department provides detailed information on its available resources for support of independent study. Admission to independent study is achieved through consent of the instructor who agrees to guide the study and by approval of the department. Enrolment may be for a regular semester or for a period during the summer between regular semesters. Credit for independent study is at the discretion of the department upon recommendation of the instructor. COURSES INITIATED BY STUDENTS The Faculty of Arts and Science provides the opportunity for students to initiate courses. Through this mechanism, contemporary issues or unusual topics may be introduced that ordinarily receive little consideration in the regular curriculum. Some recent examples are: 'Human Survival', 'Comparative Judicial Systems', 'Arctic and Prairie Ecosystems'. The development of such courses requires close cooperation of students and faculty members during the detailed investigations of topics of interest. When a proposed course has received sufficient attention through discussion among students and members of the faculty, an outline must be submitted to the Curriculum Committee of the Arts and Science Council by 20 October in the Fall Semester and by 1 March in the Spring Semester. The proposal is expected to define the topic, to indicate the academic rationale, to provide a detailed syllabus and specify sources of reference materials, and to identify faculty available to conduct the course. Upon approval by the Committee, the Arts and Science Council, and the General Faculties Council, the course is included in the University timetable for the following semester. A student is permitted to enroll in one student-initiated course in each semester other than his first.- Further information is available from the office of the Dean. 16 CURRICULUM FOR THE DEGREE B.A. TOTAL CURRICULUM In order to qualify for the degree B.A., a student must complete successfully a total of forty semester courses or the equivalent. A semester course is defined as a course in a subject studied for one semester, except for Physical Activity courses, which count for one-half course credit. The normal full student load is five courses per semester. MODEL CURRICULUM FOR FIRST YEAR STUDENTS The University recognizes that entering students have different backgrounds, aims, and interests, so that within the existing policies of the Faculty, a student may construct a program of his own choosing. Nevertheless, the Faculty recommends the following distribution of courses for most students in the first year of a B.A. degree program. It is believed that this distribution will give the student a fair idea of the kinds of subject areas available, and so make the choice of program a more knowledgeable one. It is recommended that a first year student include among the first ten semester courses a minimum of two distinct subjects from three of the following lists and at least one from each remaining list: Formal Disciplines Fine Arts Natural Sciences Mathematics Art Biology Statistics Drama Chemistry Logic Music Geography (Physical) Computing Science Physics Linguistics Astronomy Composition Physical Education Social Sciences Humanities Anthropology English Economics Philosophy Geography (Cultural) History Political Science French Psychology Spanish Sociology German R ussian MAJOR The student should select, by the time he has completed twenty semester courses, a subject (disciplinary major) or combination of subjects (multidisciplinary major) for study in depth, designated as a major. For a disciplinary major the total of forty semester courses must include no fewer than ten and no more than twenty courses in the subject. A multidisciplinary major must include depth of study equivalent at-least to the minimum for a disciplinary major, and must be approved by the Faculty in advance. Meeting the requirements for a major within these limits does not necessarily satisfy the requirements of graduate schools, and therefore a student considering graduate studies should consult the Chairman of his major department at an early date. BREADTH OF STUDY A student electing a disciplinary major must complete successfully at least twenty semester courses in subjects other than a major. A multidisciplinary major program must include breadth of study equivalent at least to the minimum for a disciplinary major. No more than thirty semester courses taken from the disciplines offered by any single department may be taken for credit toward the degree. INTRODUCTORY COURSES Introductory Courses No more than ten courses from the series 100-990 and 1000-1990 may be offered for credit toward the degree. In a system of such courses in which one is a prerequisite or recommended background for the next, for the purpose of this limitation, only the first completed at The University of Lethbridge is counted as an introductory course. MAJORS IN ARTS AND SCIENCE Disciplinary Majors The Faculty of Arts . and Science is composed of a number of departments, each of which offers instruction in depth in one or more disciplines, and some of whi ch offer instruction to a lesser extent in supplementary subjects. For 1974-75, majors are offered in: Anthropology History Art Mathematics Biological Sciences Music Chemistry Philosophy Economics Physical Education English Physics French Political Science Geography Psychology Sociology and supplementary courses of instruction in: Astronomy Logic Botany Meteorology Computing Science Russian Dramatic Arts Spanish Geology Statistics German Zoology Linguistics Note: Because the Faculty of Arts and Science specifies but few curricular regulations to guide the student, it is essential that he consult the department or departments of his major discipline not only on the nature and structure of the major, but on such matters as the prerequisite system, the availability of independent study and the future scheduling of courses. Failure to obtain advice when planning curriculum and selecting courses may prevent the student from being able to take desired courses in later semesters, particularly those from departments that may on occasion be forced to curtail enrolment because of limited instructional resources. 17 Multidisciplinary Majors • A student may fulfill the curricular requirement for study in depth by electing a multidisciplinary major. The initiative for the development of such a program lies primarily with the student. However, it must be authorized by the Faculty of Arts and Science in accordance with the procedure for any individual curriculum. The proposed multidisciplinary curriculum, formulated by the student in consultation with one or more instructors, must be submitied to the Dean of Arts and Science at least three semesters (fifteen semester courses) prior to the expected date of qualification for the degree. The two principal criteria that are considered in the evaluation of a multidisciplinary major are that it represent a recognizable and significant body of knowledge, and that it represent an analysis in depth, rather than a superficial survey of a broad topic. Aside from perhaps one or two seminar courses in specialized topics and such independent study as may be arranged, the program is expected to be derived entirely from the existing curriculum of the Faculty of Arts and Science. Multidisciplinary majors of great variety are possible within the resources of the Faculty of Arts and Science, They may consist of combinations of two disciplines, either in a single department, such as Modern Languages, or from two departments, such as Art and Literature; they may relate elements of three or more disciplines; for example Earth Sciences or Religious Studies; they may focus upon periods of time such as the Renaissance, or upon regional areas such as Latin America; they may pertain to topical studies such as Northern Studies. Since multidisciplinary majors are individual student-initiated pro-grams, there are no standard curricula. However for illustrative purposes, brief descriptions are set forth of four multidisciplinary majors that have proved to be popular. Drama and English The multidisciplinary major Drama and English combines relevant courses from the Departments of Dramatic Arts and English for those students who show an interest in both the theoretical and the practical aspects of Drama. Earth Sciences The multidisciplinary major Earth Sciences provides the student with an area of study in the physical sciences that lies between the subject material offered in Physical Geography and Physics, and may incorporate courses in Chemistry, Geography, Mathematics, Physics and the Biological Sciences depending upon the student's particular interest. Psychobiology Psychobiology combines the techniques, findings and theories of biologists and psychologists who share a common interest in behavior. The program is sponsored jointly by the Departments of Biological Sciences and Psychology, whose instructors are prepared to advise interested students about appropriate course selections. Urban and Regional Studies The multidisciplinary major Urban and Regional Studies combines the techniques, findings, and theories of social scientists who investigate urban and regional phenomena. A student's program will include, with varying emphasis depending on his particular interest, courses and independent study in Geography, Political Science, Economics and Sociology. Further information may be obtained from the office of the Dean. SPECIAL CURRICULA FOR THE DEGREE B.A. INDIVIDUAL PROGRAMS The curriculum for the degree B.A. is designed to accommodate most students. However a student who wishes for sound educational reasons to deviate from its requirements may petition the Faculty of Arts and Science. The petition must be submitted to the Dean of Arts and Science at least three semesters (fifteen semester courses) prior to the expected date of qualification for the degree. The petition is assessed by a review committee appointed by the Dean before presentation to the Faculty Council for possible ratification. COLLOQUIUM STUDY Coordinator — In an attempt to accommodate a variety of students by providing alternative approaches to the educational process, the Faculty of Arts and Science has adopted Colloquium Study as an exper-imenting program. As an integral component of the program of the Faculty, Colloquium Study is intended to foster self-directed learning in students with the aid of faculty resource people. Ordinarily a student is expected to have completed a year in a regular degree program before admission to Colloquium. The procedure for admission includes the submission of an application and a personal interview. A student in Colloquium must be registered in the Faculty of Arts and Science, and develops his studies in consultation with appro-priate resource persons from the Faculty or elsewhere. He has access to all facilities and resources of the University, including classes or laboratories upon consent of the instructors concerned. The accomplishments of a student are subject to evaluation each semester and continuation in Colloquium is dependent upon satisfactory progress. If a student is advised to or decides to transfer out of Colloquium into the regular curriculum of the Faculty of Arts and Science, the Advisory Committee has the responsibility for the evaluation of his work in Colloquium and its accreditation for the regular curriculum. To qualify for a degree, the student makes formal application to the Advisory Committee, which then establishes a committee for the final evaluation. Further information may be obtained from the Coordinator of Colloquium Study. B.A. AFTER TRANSFER TO A PROFESSIONAL FACULTY A student who completes initially 30 semester courses in the Faculty of Arts and Science, with appropriate major and breadth components, may be able to qualify for the B.A. degree at some point after commencing studies in a professional faculty at another university. Prior approval of the Faculty of Arts and Science must be obtained by a student intending to fulfill the B.A. degree requirements in this manner. COMBINED B.A. — B. ED PROGRAM With course selection approved in advance by both the Faculties of Arts and Science and of Education, it is possible for a student to qualify for both the degrees B.A. and B.Ed. within a total of fifty semester courses. (See page 22). 18 CURRICULUM FOR THE DEGREE B.F.A. Admission to the Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) program is considered after the completion of the fourth academic semester (20 semester courses) or its equivalent, and depends upon the academic record of the applicant and his demonstrated aptitude for artistic development. Application is to be made to the Registrar well in advance of registration. For graduation, the B.F.A. candidate must attain a minimum cumulative grade-poini-average of 2.00 and a minimum grade-point-average of 2.00 in all Art courses. The total curriculum for the B.F.A. is: Art Courses Required 16 semester courses Electives 11 semester courses Arts & Science Courses Required: Fine Arts, other than major 1 semester course Physical Science 1 semester course Social Science 1 semester course Humani ties 1 semester course Electives 9 semester courses TOTAL 40 semester courses Further details may be obtained from the Chairman, Department oi Art. CURRICULUM FOR THE DEGREE B. MUS. Admission to the Bachelor of Music (B.Mus.) program is considered after the completion of the fourth academic semester (20 semester courses) or its equivalent, and depends upon the candidate's aptitude as demonstrated in the ten required Music courses as well as an acceptable level of achievement in a second applied study as assessed by audition. Students intending to pursue the B.Mus. Program should consult the Department of Music as soon as possible. Application is to be made to the Registrar, and auditions arranged with the Department of Music before August 5 for a Fall Semester, or November 29 for a Spring Semester. The B. Mus. curriculum consists of 30 courses in music together with 10 other courses in Arts and Science subjects. First and Second Years: Third and Fourth Years: 20 Music 3530, 3630, 4730, 4830 (studio courses Courses in primary applied area); 2130, 2230, 2330, 2430 (studio courses in secondary applied area); 2410, 3510, 3610, 4710, 4800, 4820 (traditional composition/theoretical studies); 3620 (history and literature of music); 3680, 4780, or 3690, 4790 (history and literature of primary applied area); three approved independent studies in music or in a cognate discipline. B.A., B.F.A., B. MUS. AS SECOND DEGREES The Faculty of Arts and Science does not admit to the B.A. degree program an applicant who possesses either the degree B.A. or B.Sc. in the Arts or Sciences from a recognized institution. H owever, such an applicant may be admitted as a special student in order to pursue studies of interest. A student may within the Faculty of Arts and Science complete in any order the three degrees B.A., B.F.A., B. Mus. Specification for proceeding to the second degree may be obtained from the office of the Dean. An applicant possessing an undergraduate degree from a professional faculty is admissible to the degree 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 professional degree may be credited toward the B.A. A student who possesses the degree B.Ed. through completion of a program taken in its entirety at The University of Lethbridge is eligible for the degree B.A. after having completed a minimum of ten additional semester courses in the Faculty of Arts and Science. Others who possess the B.Ed. degree are eligible for the B.A. degree after having completed a minimum of twelve additional semester courses in the Faculty of Arts and Science. 10 Arts and Science Courses 10 Music Courses Electives in subjects other than music 2130,2230,2330,2430 (studio courses in primary applied area: either voice or piano); A student planning to study for the B.A., B.F.A., or B. Mus. as a second degree must have the total program approved in advance by the Faculty of Arts and Science. 1000, 2320,2420 (history and literature of music); 2210 2310 (traditional composition/theoretical studies); 3500 (Conducting) * * * * * * * * * * * * 19 FACULTY OF EDUCATION Dean — R.N.

It evolved from the University Section of the Lethbridge Junior College, which for the previous decade had offered introductory courses for university transfer credit. Its policies and programs reflect the institutional statement of philosophy that emerged from the inaugural planning conference at Waterton in August of 1967. The University is a member of the Association of Commonwealth Universities and the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada, and participates with the universities and other post-secondary institutions of Alberta in a variety of cooperative programs and activities. In performing its primary functions of teaching, research and public service, the University consciously strives to be incorporated into the intellectual fabric of the Southern Alberta community. The University's instructional resources and facilities are arranged to accommodate a broad sector of the population. The "campus" encompasses a number of satellite instructional centres throughout the region. The daily teaching schedule spans a fourteen hour period from early morning to late evening. The academic year becomes twelve months in duration through the integral planning of Summer Session, Fall Semester and Spring Semester. A significant component of the University's research is devoted to regional studies, the results of which enhance the social and cultural well-being of the immediate community, as well as contributing to the scope of human knowledge. The 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, performances and workshops in the University's fields of study, 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 Lethbridge endeavors 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 University of Lethbridge. Notwithstanding its intention to offer diverse subject matter contributing to the acquisition 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 endeavor. 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 communication of ideas. It is self-evident that a university cannot function without complete autonomy in this domain. 1 NOVEMBER 1974 SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI 1 SAT 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 , 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 , OCTOBER 1974 SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 SEPTEMBER 1974 SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 JULY 1974 SUN MON 1 TUE 2 WED 3 THU 4 FRI 5 SAT 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 AUGUST 1974 SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 , ACADEMIC CALENDAR 1974 - 1975 1974 JULY 1 Monday — First day of the 1974-75 academic year.

Under the system currently employed by the University, the following definitions apply: Registration — The student registers by completing a Registra-tion Form which provides personal data such as name, address, faculty, etc., and which signifies am intention to enroll in a course or courses. Enrolment — The student enrolls in specific courses (subsequent to Registration) by submitting class cards to instructors of specific courses, recording such data on study lists and filing study lists in the Registrar's Office. NOTES 1. New Students After an application has been processed, the applicant is advised of his eligibility for admission. If admissible, he receives full instruction on the procedures to be followed to complete registration and enrolment. 2. In-Course Students A student currently registered at the University is notified of the details of registration and enrolment procedures at the appro-priate time. 3. Changes in Enrolment No changes other than withdrawals from individual courses are permitted after the study list has been filed. 4, Late Penalty Fee Students who fail to complete registration or enrolment during the specified period are assessed a late penalty fee. REGISTRATION AND ENROLMENT IN OFF-CAMPUS COURSES Each semester the University offers courses at a number of centres away from the campus. Registration and enrolment in these courses may be done through the mail. Special registration and enrolment forms are available at the Registrar's Office. WITHDRAWAL Complete Withdrawal A student wishing to withdraw must notify the University by submitting a completed Withdrawal Form, obtainable from the Registrar's Office. Failure to comply with this requirement results in the assignments of failing grades, and full assessmens of fees. (See Fee Refund). Grades are not assigned when a 'student withdraws before the last class of a semester. Students enrolled in Summer Session should consult the Summer Session calendar for details of the Complete Withdrawal procedure. Course Withdrawal A student who withdraws officially from a course or courses, while remaining enrolled in one or more courses, before the end of the 9th week of a Fall or Spring Semester, is assigned a "W" designation in the courses from which he withdrew. A student who enrolls in two courses (part-time student) is entitled to a prorated refund for withdrawn courses (See Fee Refund). A full-time student who withdraws from courses should be aware that, if such transaction results in his enrolment in fewer than three courses, he is then reclassified as a part-time student and is entitled to a prorated refund for withdrawn courses. Advantages accruing to the student by virtue of his full-tiMe status are at that point nullified both within the University and with extern'al agencies including the Alberta Students' Finance Board. Students enrolled in Summer Session should consult the Summer Session calendar for details of the course withdrawal procedure. CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS Students are classified in three ways: (a) by work load (full-time or part-time) (b) by year (c) by objective Work Load A full-time student is one enrolled in three or more courses in a semester. A part-time student is enrolled in fewer than three courses in a semester. Year A student is classified as first year until seven (7) semester courses have been successfully completed. Students who have successfully completed eight (8) to seventeen (17) (inclusive) semester courses are awarded second year standing, eighteen (18) to twenty-seven (27) courses third year standing and twenty-eight (28) or more courses fourth year standing. Objective Regular student is one who has satisfied all the admission requirements and is pursuing a program of studies leading to a degree. Special student is one who has been formally admitted to the university but is not pursuing a program of studies leading to a degree. Visiting student (a) At the University of Lethbridge: a student from another accredited university or college who enrolls in courses at The University of Lethbridge with the credit to be applied toward a program at his home institution. Such a student is required to present a letter from a responsible officer of his home institution authorizing enrolment in specific courses at The University of Lethbridge that are acceptable for credit at the home institution. (b) University of Lethbridge student visiting another institution: a student intending to study at another institution for credit at The University of Lethbridge should consult the dean's office in order to obtain written authorization in advance to complete a course or courses at the other institution. Probationary Student is one who has been admitted (or permitted to continue) on a probationary basis because his previous academic record is either deficient in some respect, below the standard ordinarily required, or difficult to assess. Normally if such a student meets the conditions stipulated, he may apply for regular student status. Mature students are initially admitted on a probationary basis and if successful in university studies, their probationary status is automatically removed. Auditing Student is one who has been granted permission by the instructor and the Dean of the Faculty concerned to attend lectures in a course on the understanding that he may not participate in class discussions (except by invitation of the instructor), submit assign-ments, sit for examinations or receive degree credit for the course. 10 FEES AND EXPENSES FEE SCHEDULE 1.

In addition to the two regular semesters, a separate Summer Session is offered during the period of May through August (three sessions). TIMETABLE Normally, classes start at 8:00 a.m. on a fifty minute schedule Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, and on a seventy-five minute schedule Tuesdays and Thursdays. Some classes may be scheduled on Saturday ,, if necessary, or in the evening. Normal lecture time is 3 hours per week, excluding laboratories. Special timetabling is arranged for Summer Session. APPLICATION FOR DEGREE A student who expects to graduate at Spring Convocation must complete an Application for Degree no later than registration day for that Spring Semester. Forms are obtainable from the Registrar's Office. It is the student's responsibility to ensure that his or her name is included in the graduation list. GRADING SYSTEM The University employs a letter system of grading. Letter Grade Grade Points A — Excellent 4 B — Superior 3 C — Average 2 D — Poor 1 F — Failing 0 I — Incomplete N/A P — Pass N/A Cr — Credit N/A NC — No Credit N/A The overall academic performance of a student is expressed in terms of the grade-point-average (G.P.A). F - Failing This grade indicates a failure and is assigned to a student who does not satisfy the objectives of the course. I - Incomplete. The designation of I is given only in cases of illness or other extenuating circumstances, beyond the control of the student, which make it impossible to complete the required work by the close of a semester. The I - designation is awarded only on application to and with approval of both the instructor and the dean; and such application is not entertained until the last two weeks of classes. The I - 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 remains thereafter as an "I". In case of an I - designation in Education field experience courses, students should consult the Coordinator of Teacher Education, as a different interpretation of incomplete applies for these courses. W - withdrawal without prejudice. A designation of W may be recorded at any time after the first two weeks of classes, up to and including the ninth week of classes. The W designation shall be assigned only upon formal application by the student or his agent to the Registrar. (W designations are disregarded in computing a student's grade-point-average.) P - pass. This designation indicates that the student has satisfactorily completed the objectives of the course. No points are assigned for the computation of the grade-point-average. Cr • credit. This designation indicates that the student has satisfactorily completed the objectives of the course. No points are assigned for the computation of the grade-point-average. If the objectives are not met in a credit/non-credit course, the student is assigned no credit (NC). Credit/Non-Credit Courses Credit/non-credit courses are offered by the University to encourage students to expand their academic interest by enrolling in courses outside their fields of major interest and receiving either Credit (Cr) or Non-Credit (NC) in place of the usual letter grade. A student may enroll in a maximum of two credit/non-credit courses per semester but may not enroll in more than a total of eight for credit toward a degree. Such courses must be declared at the time of enrolment. Successful completion of course requirements results in Cr being recorded on the student's transcript; an NC is recorded if course requirements are not fulfilled. The credit/non-credit courses are not considered in computing the student's grade-point-average. Substitution of "credit" by a normal letter grade is permitted until thirty days after grades have been mailed, if requested by the student. In such a case, the letter grade is included in the student's grade-point-average computation. Replacing a "credit" with a letter grade in any credit/non-credit course does not enable the student to enroll in more than a maximum of eight such courses. A student may not enroll in credit/non-credit courses in his major, nor in required courses in Education (i.e. required foundation courses, professional semester courses, three introductory behavioral sciences). Within the over-all limit of eight, Education students may enroll in a maximum of three credit/non-credit courses in Professional Education (including Education 3160). Transfer students and students pursuing a second degree may enroll in credit/non-credit courses on a proportional basis. APPEAL OF GRADE A student dissatisfied with an assigned grade in an Arts and Science course may request that the instructor review the grade. If after this review the student is still dissatisfied, he may address a written appeal to the chairman of the department concerned. Either the student or the instructor then may appeal the department's decision to the Faculty of Arts and Science, and finally to the General Faculties Council. The initial appeal to the instructor must be made not later than two weeks after the beginning of the following semester, not counting Summer Session. 12 A student dissatisfied with an assigned grade in an Education course may request that the instructor review the grade. If after this review the student is still dissatisfied, he may address a written appeal to the Faculty of Education, and finally to the General Faculties Council. The initial appeal to the instructor must be made not later than thirty days after grade reports are mailed by the Registrar. A student initiating an appeal beyond the instructor should inform the Dean of the Faculty concerned, and obtain full details of the procedure. ADVANCE CREDIT An applicant who has successfully completed work at another university or college may be assigned credit for subjects passed that are comparable to courses offered at The University of Lethbridge or from comparable programs. Courses taken by correspondence from recognized universities are considered only for introductory course credit. 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 to the Faculty in meeting subject requirements for a degree. Advance credit in the Faculty of Arts and Science is not usually assigned for work completed ten or more years prior to admission. 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 University of Lethbridge as follows: B.A. as the first degree twenty semester courses, including the final ten offered for credit toward the degree B.A. as the second degree the final ten semester courses offered for credit toward the degree B.F.A. or B.Mus. as the first or second degree the final twenty semester courses offered for credit toward the degree B.Ed. as the first or second degree the final ten semester courses offered for credit toward the degree Note: Each transfer student and each candidate for second degree requires Faculty approval of his total study program in advance. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 13 FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCE Dean — — F.Q. Quo Associate Dean — P. Butterfield Coordinator, Continuing Education — The University offers instruction in the Arts, the Sciences and the Fine Arts leading to the degrees Bachelor of Arts and Science (B.A.), Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.), and Bachelor of Music (B. Mus.). A full-time student carrying the normal academic load of five courses per semester may complete the degree in eight semesters. However, it is possible for a student to attain the degree in fewer than four academic years by carrying a heavier study load, by attending Summer Sessions, or by undertaking independent study during the intervals between semesters. The objective of the Faculty of Arts and Science is to provide liberal education, stressing the cultivation of critical and analytical atti-tudes, the recognition of facts and their relationships, the compre-hension of abstract thought, and the structure of ideas. The curriculum is designed to permit a student to establish a broad foundation of general studies during the first four semesters. Subsequently he may either continue in general studies or concen-trate upon a disciplinary or multidisciplinary study in depth. The flexibility of the semester system and the dearth of academic regulations permit students, within the limitations of the Univer-sity's resources, to follow to a large extent their own interests in the selection of courses and areas of study. With guidance from faculty, students may elect independent study, may initiate courses of instruction in topics of special interest, and may design degree programs particularly oriented toward their own needs. Colloquium Study is available on a limited scale for students who wish to develop experimental programs of study outside of the regular curriculum. The student has the option to enroll in a limited number of credit/non-credit courses in order to encourage his exploration of subjects in areas other than his principal interest without effect on his general academic standing. Each introductory course is designed to emphasize the main concepts of the discipline, both historical and contemporary, rather than to provide a comprehensive survey of the subject. Hence its value is most effectively realized if followed by a sequel or sequels in the same subject, each intended to develop in depth one or more of the principal concepts of the introductory course. ACADEMIC ADVISING Because of the flexible curriculum, it is important that all students, new or returning, seek academic advice concerning their aims, programs, and standing. It is advantageous to consult advisors during the weeks prior to the beginning of classes, but advisors are available to students throughout the year. Academic Advising is coordinated by the office of the Associate Dean. MAJOR The great variety possible within the major requirement with respect to both the number and selection of courses necessitates that a student plan with care a major program that will meet his individual aims and requirements. These might include either graduate school or professional school admission, vocational goals, or integration Of the major with liberal studies. It is therefore crucial that a student obtain advice on the design of his particular major program from Faculty and Department advisors. GRADUATE STUDIES Meeting the requirements for a major at the University of Lethbridge does not necessarily satisfy the requirements of graduate schools, and therefore a student considering graduate studies should consult the chairman of his major department by the time he has decided upon a major. PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS Students planning admission to professional faculties are advised to consult the office of the Dean, notwithstanding the professional transfer program being detailed elsewhere in this Calendar. ACADEMIC REGULATIONS ACADEMIC STANDARDS For graduation, a student must attain a minimum cumulative grade-point-average of 2.00 on courses taken at The University of Lethbridge for credit toward the degree. No exceptions are permitted. Courses from another institution accredited to a transfer student are not included in calculation of the grade-point-average. In order to retain a satisfactory academic standing, a student must maintain a grade-point-average of 2.00 or above at all stages in his progress toward a degree. If the grade-point-average falls below this level, the student is placed on probation, or may be required to withdraw from the University. A student dismissed for academic reasons after one semester may apply for readmission after a lapse of one semester. An application for readmission must include evidence that the causes of previous unsatisfactory work have been identified and removed. If a student is readmitted, the courses taken during the unsuccessful semester are not accredited, nor are they included in calculation of the grade-poi n t-average. A student dismissed for academic reasons after two or more semesters may apply for readmission after a lapse of one full year. If he is readmitted, the courses taken during the unsuccessful semesters are not included in calculation of the grade-point-average, but limited credit may be assigned. DISTINCTION AND GREAT DISTINCTION Degrees with Distinction or Great Distinction are conferred upon students who have displayed outstanding academic performances during their undergraduate education. ADVANCED PLACEMENT It frequently occurs that a student has had some educational experience that provides much of the background usually acquired in an introductory course. In such a case, the student may seek the permission of the department to enroll in advanced courses. CHALLENGE FOR CREDIT At the time of admission to the Faculty of Arts and Science, a student may challenge for academic credit in courses at or above the 1000 level on the basis of knowledge or experience gained outside of a formal educational context. The student's eligibility to challenge for credit is determined by the Dean of Arts and Science. No grade is assigned for a course accredited by challenge, nor does the credit count toward the residence requirement. 15 VISITING STUDENTS As it may suit his program, and within the Arts & Science residence requirement, a student may be authorized to take some of his course work at another university if his registration as a visiting student is acceptable to that institution. Application for such authorization must be made to, and approved in advance by, the office of the Dean. It is the responsibility of the student to ensure that an official transcript of grades is sent to the Registrar at Lethbridge. ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT PERFORMANCE Within the policies of the Council of the Faculty of Arts and Science, an instructor bears full responsibility for the evaluation of the academic performance of his students. An instructor is obliged to indicate to his students at the beginning of each course the detailed manner by which their work will be evaluated and their final grades derived, and, upon request, to communicate to a student an estimation of his 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. Final examinations are limited to a maximum of three hours. No testing outside of the procedures of normal class meeting is initiated during the last two weeks of the regular class schedule. LIMITATION OF ENROLMENT The Faculty of Arts and Science reserves the right to limit enrolment in any course in order to maintain the quality of instruction. The limitation is imposed only when the teaching resources, in terms either of instructors or physical space, become exhausted. In such circumstances, priority for the enrolment of students who possess the specified prerequisites is proposed as follows: For 2000 level courses preference is given to majors with second year standing and then to other students with second year standing; for 3000 level courses preference is given to majors with third year standing and then to other students with third year standing, and for 4000 level courses, to majors with fourth year standing and then to other students with fourth year standing. The year of standing through previous successful completion of a specified number of semester courses is as follows: Second year 8 to 17 Third year — 18 to 27 Fourth year — 28 or more Exceptions to the above procedure for legitimate reasons will be dealt with through consultation between the Dean and the Department concerned (e.g. the curricular needs of pre-professional students or students desiring to enroll in courses offered in alternate years). INDEPENDENT STUDY A student in Arts and Science may obtain credit in any subject through independent study, which is designated by the numbers 2990, 3990, and 4990 in a particular discipline, indicating the level of advancement of the work. Independent study may be elected as early as the second semester or as late as the last, depending upon the capability of the student for undertaking academic work with a minimum of guidance. Indepen-dent study may take a variety of forms including library research, laboratory research projects, field study, and authorized study at another university. Each department provides detailed information on its available resources for support of independent study. Admission to independent study is achieved through consent of the instructor who agrees to guide the study and by approval of the department. Enrolment may be for a regular semester or for a period during the summer between regular semesters. Credit for independent study is at the discretion of the department upon recommendation of the instructor. COURSES INITIATED BY STUDENTS The Faculty of Arts and Science provides the opportunity for students to initiate courses. Through this mechanism, contemporary issues or unusual topics may be introduced that ordinarily receive little consideration in the regular curriculum. Some recent examples are: 'Human Survival', 'Comparative Judicial Systems', 'Arctic and Prairie Ecosystems'. The development of such courses requires close cooperation of students and faculty members during the detailed investigations of topics of interest. When a proposed course has received sufficient attention through discussion among students and members of the faculty, an outline must be submitted to the Curriculum Committee of the Arts and Science Council by 20 October in the Fall Semester and by 1 March in the Spring Semester. The proposal is expected to define the topic, to indicate the academic rationale, to provide a detailed syllabus and specify sources of reference materials, and to identify faculty available to conduct the course. Upon approval by the Committee, the Arts and Science Council, and the General Faculties Council, the course is included in the University timetable for the following semester. A student is permitted to enroll in one student-initiated course in each semester other than his first.- Further information is available from the office of the Dean. 16 CURRICULUM FOR THE DEGREE B.A. TOTAL CURRICULUM In order to qualify for the degree B.A., a student must complete successfully a total of forty semester courses or the equivalent. A semester course is defined as a course in a subject studied for one semester, except for Physical Activity courses, which count for one-half course credit. The normal full student load is five courses per semester. MODEL CURRICULUM FOR FIRST YEAR STUDENTS The University recognizes that entering students have different backgrounds, aims, and interests, so that within the existing policies of the Faculty, a student may construct a program of his own choosing. Nevertheless, the Faculty recommends the following distribution of courses for most students in the first year of a B.A. degree program. It is believed that this distribution will give the student a fair idea of the kinds of subject areas available, and so make the choice of program a more knowledgeable one. It is recommended that a first year student include among the first ten semester courses a minimum of two distinct subjects from three of the following lists and at least one from each remaining list: Formal Disciplines Fine Arts Natural Sciences Mathematics Art Biology Statistics Drama Chemistry Logic Music Geography (Physical) Computing Science Physics Linguistics Astronomy Composition Physical Education Social Sciences Humanities Anthropology English Economics Philosophy Geography (Cultural) History Political Science French Psychology Spanish Sociology German R ussian MAJOR The student should select, by the time he has completed twenty semester courses, a subject (disciplinary major) or combination of subjects (multidisciplinary major) for study in depth, designated as a major. For a disciplinary major the total of forty semester courses must include no fewer than ten and no more than twenty courses in the subject. A multidisciplinary major must include depth of study equivalent at-least to the minimum for a disciplinary major, and must be approved by the Faculty in advance. Meeting the requirements for a major within these limits does not necessarily satisfy the requirements of graduate schools, and therefore a student considering graduate studies should consult the Chairman of his major department at an early date. BREADTH OF STUDY A student electing a disciplinary major must complete successfully at least twenty semester courses in subjects other than a major. A multidisciplinary major program must include breadth of study equivalent at least to the minimum for a disciplinary major. No more than thirty semester courses taken from the disciplines offered by any single department may be taken for credit toward the degree. INTRODUCTORY COURSES Introductory Courses No more than ten courses from the series 100-990 and 1000-1990 may be offered for credit toward the degree. In a system of such courses in which one is a prerequisite or recommended background for the next, for the purpose of this limitation, only the first completed at The University of Lethbridge is counted as an introductory course. MAJORS IN ARTS AND SCIENCE Disciplinary Majors The Faculty of Arts . and Science is composed of a number of departments, each of which offers instruction in depth in one or more disciplines, and some of whi ch offer instruction to a lesser extent in supplementary subjects. For 1974-75, majors are offered in: Anthropology History Art Mathematics Biological Sciences Music Chemistry Philosophy Economics Physical Education English Physics French Political Science Geography Psychology Sociology and supplementary courses of instruction in: Astronomy Logic Botany Meteorology Computing Science Russian Dramatic Arts Spanish Geology Statistics German Zoology Linguistics Note: Because the Faculty of Arts and Science specifies but few curricular regulations to guide the student, it is essential that he consult the department or departments of his major discipline not only on the nature and structure of the major, but on such matters as the prerequisite system, the availability of independent study and the future scheduling of courses. Failure to obtain advice when planning curriculum and selecting courses may prevent the student from being able to take desired courses in later semesters, particularly those from departments that may on occasion be forced to curtail enrolment because of limited instructional resources. 17 Multidisciplinary Majors • A student may fulfill the curricular requirement for study in depth by electing a multidisciplinary major. The initiative for the development of such a program lies primarily with the student. However, it must be authorized by the Faculty of Arts and Science in accordance with the procedure for any individual curriculum. The proposed multidisciplinary curriculum, formulated by the student in consultation with one or more instructors, must be submitied to the Dean of Arts and Science at least three semesters (fifteen semester courses) prior to the expected date of qualification for the degree. The two principal criteria that are considered in the evaluation of a multidisciplinary major are that it represent a recognizable and significant body of knowledge, and that it represent an analysis in depth, rather than a superficial survey of a broad topic. Aside from perhaps one or two seminar courses in specialized topics and such independent study as may be arranged, the program is expected to be derived entirely from the existing curriculum of the Faculty of Arts and Science. Multidisciplinary majors of great variety are possible within the resources of the Faculty of Arts and Science, They may consist of combinations of two disciplines, either in a single department, such as Modern Languages, or from two departments, such as Art and Literature; they may relate elements of three or more disciplines; for example Earth Sciences or Religious Studies; they may focus upon periods of time such as the Renaissance, or upon regional areas such as Latin America; they may pertain to topical studies such as Northern Studies. Since multidisciplinary majors are individual student-initiated pro-grams, there are no standard curricula. However for illustrative purposes, brief descriptions are set forth of four multidisciplinary majors that have proved to be popular. Drama and English The multidisciplinary major Drama and English combines relevant courses from the Departments of Dramatic Arts and English for those students who show an interest in both the theoretical and the practical aspects of Drama. Earth Sciences The multidisciplinary major Earth Sciences provides the student with an area of study in the physical sciences that lies between the subject material offered in Physical Geography and Physics, and may incorporate courses in Chemistry, Geography, Mathematics, Physics and the Biological Sciences depending upon the student's particular interest. Psychobiology Psychobiology combines the techniques, findings and theories of biologists and psychologists who share a common interest in behavior. The program is sponsored jointly by the Departments of Biological Sciences and Psychology, whose instructors are prepared to advise interested students about appropriate course selections. Urban and Regional Studies The multidisciplinary major Urban and Regional Studies combines the techniques, findings, and theories of social scientists who investigate urban and regional phenomena. A student's program will include, with varying emphasis depending on his particular interest, courses and independent study in Geography, Political Science, Economics and Sociology. Further information may be obtained from the office of the Dean. SPECIAL CURRICULA FOR THE DEGREE B.A. INDIVIDUAL PROGRAMS The curriculum for the degree B.A. is designed to accommodate most students. However a student who wishes for sound educational reasons to deviate from its requirements may petition the Faculty of Arts and Science. The petition must be submitted to the Dean of Arts and Science at least three semesters (fifteen semester courses) prior to the expected date of qualification for the degree. The petition is assessed by a review committee appointed by the Dean before presentation to the Faculty Council for possible ratification. COLLOQUIUM STUDY Coordinator — In an attempt to accommodate a variety of students by providing alternative approaches to the educational process, the Faculty of Arts and Science has adopted Colloquium Study as an exper-imenting program. As an integral component of the program of the Faculty, Colloquium Study is intended to foster self-directed learning in students with the aid of faculty resource people. Ordinarily a student is expected to have completed a year in a regular degree program before admission to Colloquium. The procedure for admission includes the submission of an application and a personal interview. A student in Colloquium must be registered in the Faculty of Arts and Science, and develops his studies in consultation with appro-priate resource persons from the Faculty or elsewhere. He has access to all facilities and resources of the University, including classes or laboratories upon consent of the instructors concerned. The accomplishments of a student are subject to evaluation each semester and continuation in Colloquium is dependent upon satisfactory progress. If a student is advised to or decides to transfer out of Colloquium into the regular curriculum of the Faculty of Arts and Science, the Advisory Committee has the responsibility for the evaluation of his work in Colloquium and its accreditation for the regular curriculum. To qualify for a degree, the student makes formal application to the Advisory Committee, which then establishes a committee for the final evaluation. Further information may be obtained from the Coordinator of Colloquium Study. B.A. AFTER TRANSFER TO A PROFESSIONAL FACULTY A student who completes initially 30 semester courses in the Faculty of Arts and Science, with appropriate major and breadth components, may be able to qualify for the B.A. degree at some point after commencing studies in a professional faculty at another university. Prior approval of the Faculty of Arts and Science must be obtained by a student intending to fulfill the B.A. degree requirements in this manner. COMBINED B.A. — B. ED PROGRAM With course selection approved in advance by both the Faculties of Arts and Science and of Education, it is possible for a student to qualify for both the degrees B.A. and B.Ed. within a total of fifty semester courses. (See page 22). 18 CURRICULUM FOR THE DEGREE B.F.A. Admission to the Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) program is considered after the completion of the fourth academic semester (20 semester courses) or its equivalent, and depends upon the academic record of the applicant and his demonstrated aptitude for artistic development. Application is to be made to the Registrar well in advance of registration. For graduation, the B.F.A. candidate must attain a minimum cumulative grade-poini-average of 2.00 and a minimum grade-point-average of 2.00 in all Art courses. The total curriculum for the B.F.A. is: Art Courses Required 16 semester courses Electives 11 semester courses Arts & Science Courses Required: Fine Arts, other than major 1 semester course Physical Science 1 semester course Social Science 1 semester course Humani ties 1 semester course Electives 9 semester courses TOTAL 40 semester courses Further details may be obtained from the Chairman, Department oi Art. CURRICULUM FOR THE DEGREE B. MUS. Admission to the Bachelor of Music (B.Mus.) program is considered after the completion of the fourth academic semester (20 semester courses) or its equivalent, and depends upon the candidate's aptitude as demonstrated in the ten required Music courses as well as an acceptable level of achievement in a second applied study as assessed by audition. Students intending to pursue the B.Mus. Program should consult the Department of Music as soon as possible. Application is to be made to the Registrar, and auditions arranged with the Department of Music before August 5 for a Fall Semester, or November 29 for a Spring Semester. The B. Mus. curriculum consists of 30 courses in music together with 10 other courses in Arts and Science subjects. First and Second Years: Third and Fourth Years: 20 Music 3530, 3630, 4730, 4830 (studio courses Courses in primary applied area); 2130, 2230, 2330, 2430 (studio courses in secondary applied area); 2410, 3510, 3610, 4710, 4800, 4820 (traditional composition/theoretical studies); 3620 (history and literature of music); 3680, 4780, or 3690, 4790 (history and literature of primary applied area); three approved independent studies in music or in a cognate discipline. B.A., B.F.A., B. MUS. AS SECOND DEGREES The Faculty of Arts and Science does not admit to the B.A. degree program an applicant who possesses either the degree B.A. or B.Sc. in the Arts or Sciences from a recognized institution. H owever, such an applicant may be admitted as a special student in order to pursue studies of interest. A student may within the Faculty of Arts and Science complete in any order the three degrees B.A., B.F.A., B. Mus. Specification for proceeding to the second degree may be obtained from the office of the Dean. An applicant possessing an undergraduate degree from a professional faculty is admissible to the degree 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 professional degree may be credited toward the B.A. A student who possesses the degree B.Ed. through completion of a program taken in its entirety at The University of Lethbridge is eligible for the degree B.A. after having completed a minimum of ten additional semester courses in the Faculty of Arts and Science. Others who possess the B.Ed. degree are eligible for the B.A. degree after having completed a minimum of twelve additional semester courses in the Faculty of Arts and Science. 10 Arts and Science Courses 10 Music Courses Electives in subjects other than music 2130,2230,2330,2430 (studio courses in primary applied area: either voice or piano); A student planning to study for the B.A., B.F.A., or B.
