It is a provincial university with membership in the Association of Com-monwealth Universities and the Association of Universities and Colleges of Can-ada. 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 was established on January 1, 1967, having evolved from the University Section of the Lethbridge Junior College. For the previous decade, the University Section of the College had offered introductory courses for university transfer credit. Enrolment at the University has increased from 638 students in its first year of operation to approximately 1,800 full-time students in 1981-82. Another 1,800 students attended the University part-time or enrolled in Summer School during the same period. LOCATION In 1971, the University moved from its shared campus at the College to its present location on 457 acres in West Lethbridge. West Lethbridge is a growing sub-division in Lethbridge, Alberta's third largest city with a population of 53,000 people. The centre of a prosperous farming and ranching area, Lethbridge is character-ized 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. CAMPUS AND BUILDINGS Designed by Vancouver architect Arthur Erickson, the "Campus in the Cou-lees" has received international acclaim for its architectural originality, functional design and spacious environment. University Hall Focal point of the campus is University Hall which houses the majority of classrooms and laboratories as well as residences for 362 students. Also located here are the library, administrative offices, bookstore and cafeteria. Physical Educational Building The Physical Education Building features a large gymnasium, classrooms and a number of auxiliary spaces. Adjacent to the building is an olympic-sized track, soccer field and tennis courts. The Performing Arts Centre In January, 1981, The Performing Arts Centre was occupied after two years in construction. The Centre gives the University one of the most technically sophisti-cated teaching and performance facilities for the fine and performing arts in all of Canada. It houses the Departments of Art, Dramatic Arts, Music and the Fine Arts components of the Faculty of Education. The building includes a 406-seat multi-purpose theatre, a 203- seat recital hall/film theatre, the University Art Gallery, classrooms, rehearsal rooms, studios and a pedestrian link between University Hall and the Physical Education Building. Service Buildings Four service buildings complete the campus, housing a Day Care Centre and various service departments. 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 instruction 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 facul-ties at other universities in Agriculture, Dentistry, Engineering, Environmental Design, Food Science, Forestry, Home Economics, Law, Library Science, Medi-cine, 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, performances and work-shops in the University's fields of study. These programs 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 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 communi-cation of ideas. It is self-evident that a university cannot function without complete autonomy in this domain. 5 July 1982 SUN MON TUE WED THu FRI SAT 123 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 October 1982 SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT 12 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 1 2 13 14 15 16 17 19 20 21 22 23 "4, 25 26 27 28 29 30 August 1982 SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI S•T 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 1982 SUN MON •uE WED THU EUI AA! 1234 5 6 7 al 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 November 1982 SUN MON 1 TUE 2 WED 3 THU I Al _4_5_ SAT 6 7 8 9 10 . 0 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 December 1982 SUN MON TUE WED THU ERI SAT 1234 5 6 7 (1 ) 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 11. 19 20 21 22 23 24 al 26 27 28 29 30 31 ACADEMIC CALENDAR 1982 - 1983 1982 JULY 1 Thursday - First day of the 1982/83 academic year - Statutory Holiday - University closed. 5 Monday - First day of classes for Summer Session II. 16 Friday - Last day for registration for Summer Session III. 26 Monday - Last day of classes for Summer Session II. 27 Tuesday - First day of classes for Summer Session III.

GENERAL INFORMATION To gain admission into an academic program at The University of Lethbridge, 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 tIrst-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, Bache-lor of Fine Arts, Bachelor of Management, and Bachelor of Music programs; 3. To enrol in one of the professional transfer programs in Agriculture, Dentistry, Engineering, Environmental Design, Food Science, Forestry, Home Economics, Law, Library Science, Medicine, Optometry, Pharmacy, Social Welfare and Veterinary Medicine; 4. 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 admis-sion to these programs must be sure to select courses during their studies in the Bachelor of Arts and Science program that fulfill the admission requirements. Applicants for admission to the Bachelor of Arts and Science program in order to enrol in one of the professional transfer programs should note that the transfer programs may have more recommended admission sub-jects 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 Bachelor 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. There are enrolment limits on the number of students admitted to the Bachelor of Education, Bachelor of Management and Bachelor of Nursing programs. Therefore, all qualified applicants may not be admitted. ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS BACHELOR OF ARTS AND SCIENCE PROGRAM (B.A. or B.Sc.)

Landed immigrants whose first language is other than English and who have not resided in Canada for a minimum of three years are required to demonstrate proficiency in the English language as outlined above. 11 ADMISSION AS A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT Alberta high school students may be admitted on a part-time basis if they are: 1. Currently enrolled in a southern Alberta high school program. 2. Recommended by the appropriate high school officials to be aca-demically prepared for university-level work in a given subject area or areas. Credit courses successfully completed are credited toward degree requirements 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 a part-time student, without having to present any formal educational records. This enrolment plan will particularly appeal to those persons who wish initially to take courses for general interest, but who may wish to apply for admission sometime in the future. Enrolment as an occasional student does not constitute admission. See page 15 for further details. VISITING STUDENT Applicants from another degree-granting institution may enrol at The University of Lethbridge for credit at their institution if written authoriza-tion is provided by the sending institution. SECOND DEGREE STUDENT Applicants with an undergraduate degree from a professional faculty 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 professional 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 degree B.A. or B.Sc. in the Arts or Scien-ces from a recognized institution. However, such applicants may be admit-ted as special students in order to pursue studies of interest. Applicants with an undergraduate degree, 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 a recognized institution. However, such applicants may be admitted as special students in order to pursue studies of interest. Registered Nurses with an undergraduate degree, other than a B.Sc.N. or a B.N., are admissible to the Bachelor of Nursing program. Depending upon course applicability to the curriculum in the Nursing program and the standard of performance achieved in these courses, some of the courses taken for the first degree may be credited toward the B.N. degree. 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 comparable 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. Applicants assigned transfer credit must obtain approval at the time of admission for the balance of the program of studies for fulfillment of the degree requirements at The University of Lethbridge. HOW TO APPLY FOR ADMISSION PROCEDURE FOR ALL APPLICANTS An applicant must submit to the Registrar's Office: 1. An Application for Admission Form, completed in every respect and accompanied by a non-refundable fee of $10. 2.

New Students After an application has been processed, the applicant is advised of his or her eligibility for admission. If admissible, the student receives full instruction on the procedures to be followed to complete registration. 2. in-Course Students A student currently registered at the University is notified of the details of registration procedures at the appropriate time. 3. Course Changes Courses may be added and/or dropped during the first week of classes. No changes other than withdrawals from individual courses are permit-ted after the first week of the semester. 4. Late Penalty Fee Students who fail to complete registration during the specified period are assessed a late penalty fee. REGISTRATION IN OFF-CAMPUS COURSES Each semester the University offers courses at a number of off-campus centres. Registration and enrolment in these courses may be done through the mail. Special registration and enrolment forms are available at the Registrar's Office. Notwithstanding this provision, students taking credit courses must meel the regular admission requirements of the Faculty or School offering the courses. WITHDRAWAL Complete Withdrawal A student wishing to withdraw must notify the University by submitting a completed Withdrawal Form obtainable from the Registrar's Office or the Counselling Centre. The date this form is received by the Registrar will be the official withdrawal date for purposes of fee assessment. Failure to comply with this requirement results in the assignments of failing grades, and full assessment of fees. (See Fee Refund). Grades are not assigned when a student withdraws before the last class of a semester. Students enrolled in Summer School should consult the Summer School Calendar for details of the complete withdrawal procedure. Course Withdrawal A student is awarded a "W" designation for any course officially with-drawn after the first week of classes and before the end of the ninth week of a Fall or Spring Semester, provided the student remains enrolled in one or more courses. Students are entitled to a pro-rated refund for withdrawn courses. A full-time student who withdraws from courses but remains enrolled in three courses retains classification as a full-time student. Such students receive a pro-rated refund on the difference between the regular full-time fee assessment and the fee assessment for three semester courses. A full-time student who withdraws from courses, resulting in enrolment in fewer than three courses, is reclassified as part-time and is entitled to a pro-rated refund for withdrawn courses. Advantages accruing to the stu-dent by virtue of full-time status are at that point nullified both within the University and with external agencies, including the Alberta Students' Finance Board. Students enrolled in Summer School should consult the Summer School Calendar for details of the course withdrawal procedure. 13 FEES FEE SCHEDULE Fees are subject to change subsequent to the publication of this Calendar 1.

SEMESTER SYSTEM The University operates on a semester system. The Fall Semester begins in September and ends in December. The Spring Semester begins in January and ends in April. In addition to the two regular semesters, a separate Summer School is offered during the period of May through August (three sessions). TIMETABLE Normally classes start at 08 00 on a 50-minute schedule Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and on a 75-minute schedule, Tuesdays and Thursdays. Some classes may be scheduled on a Saturday, if necessary, or in the evening. Normal lecture time is three hours per week, excluding laboratories. Special timetabling is arranged for Summer School. APPLICATION FOR DEGREE The University schedules one regular convocation in the Spring each year. A student who expects to graduate at Spring Convocation must com-plete an Application for Degree no later than one week after the first day of classes of the preceding Fall 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. DISTINCTION AND GREAT DISTINCTION Degrees with Distinction or Great Distinction are conferred upon stu-dents who have displayed outstanding academic performance during their undergraduate education. CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS Students are classified in three ways: 1. by work load (full-time or part-time) 2. by year 3. by objective Work Load A f ull-time student is one enrolled in three or more semester 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 semester courses have been successfully completed. Students who have successfully completed 8 to 17 (inclusive) semester courses are awarded second year standing, 18 to 27 courses third year standing and 28 or more courses fourth year standing. - Students working toward a second degree are classified as year 5. - Special students are classified as year 6. - Professional Diploma in Education students are classified as year 7. Objective Regular student is one who has satisfied all the admission requirements and is pursuing a program of studies leading to a degree. Mature student is one admitted on other than formal academic qualifi-cations but has the same status as a regular student. 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 is: 1 A student who enrols in courses at The University of Lethbridge with credit to be applied toward a program at another institution. A letter from a responsible officer of the other institution is required authoriz-ing enrolment in specific courses at The University of Lethbridge acceptable for credit at the other institution. 2 A student who studies at another institution for credit at The University of Lethbridge. The authorization of the Dean or Director must be obtained in advance for the course or courses to be taken at the other institution Probationary student is 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. Auditing student is one who has been granted permission by the instructor to attend lectures in a course on the understanding that the student may not participate in class discussions (except by invitation of the instructor), submit assignments, or sit for examinations. No degree credit is granted for the course. An Audit Registration Form must be submitted to the Registrar's Office. 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. Students 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 admis-sion to the University. 3. The student has not been required to withdraw from this or any other university within the last year. 4. Enrolment is limited to part-time status (one or two courses per semester). 5. Course prerequisites must be met where applicable. Students proposing 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 enrol-ment is limited. 7. Occasional Students may apply for formal admission at any time through one of the approved admission routes. 15 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 by no later than one week following com-mencement of the first class. 2. To enrol, the student must submit to the Registrar's Office the Occasional Student Enrolment Form completed in every respect and accompanied by full fees. No supporting documentation is required. GRADING SYSTEM The University employs a letter system of grading. The overall aca-demic performance of a student is expressed in terms of the grade-point-average (G.P.A.) Letter Grade Gni& Points A - Excellent 4 B - Superior 3 C - Average 2 D - Poor 1 F - Failinp Non-Grade Designation I - Incomplete W - Withdrawal X - Continuing Cr - Credit Nc - No Credit P - Pass I - incomplete The designation of I is awarded only in cases of illness or other exten-uating 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 approval of the instruc-tor and the Dean/Director; 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 or P 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 "I" designation remains on the transcript. The instructor must state explicitly upon an application for an "Incom-plete" what work is needed to satisfy the requirements for that course, and the date by which the work must be completed. 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. (W-designations are disregarded in computing the grade-point- average). X - Continuing Currently used for Applied Studies courses only which may extend beyond one semester. Signifies that a grade will be awarded at the conclu-sion of the course. Cr/Nc - Credit/Non- Credit Alternative A student may elect to take some courses as credit/non-credit. This alternative 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-poi nt-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. A Nursing student, however, may elect credit/non-credit in a max-imum of one course per semester, but may not elect more than a total of four for credit toward the B.N. degree. The credit/non-credit alternative must be declared at the time of registration. Replacing Cr with a letter grade in a course taken as credit/non-credit does not enable a student to enrol in more than a maximum 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 pursuing a second degree may elect to take courses as credit/non-credit on a proportional basis. P - Pass/Fall 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 objectives 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 student 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. 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 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 regulation 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. 16 B.F.A., B.Mus. An instructor must indicate at the beginning of each course the detailed manner by which work will be evaluated and 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 initiated during the last two weeks of the regular class schedule. RESIDENCE REQUIREMENTS A student with transfer credit who is a candidate for a degree must satisfy the minimum residence requirement through successful comple-tion of courses, or their equivalent, excluding credit by challenge, at The University of Lethbrdge as follows: The time limit for degree completion subsequent to the first degree is ten years after the approval of the program. Each transfer student and each candidate for second degree requires Faculty approval of the total study program in advance. as the first degree: twenty semester courses, including the final ten offered for credit toward the degree. as the second degree: the final ten semester courses offered for credit toward the degree. as the first or second degree: the final twenty semester courses offered for credit toward the degree. as the first or second degree: twenty semester courses, including ten in Education. as the first or second degree: twelve semester courses. thirty semester courses, including fifteen in Arts and Science and ten in Education. ten semester courses, including six in Education. B.A./B.Sc., B.Mgt. CANDIDATES FOR SECOND DEGREES Each candidate for second degree requires Faculty or School approval of the total study program in advance. The time limit for degree completion subsequent to the first degree is ten years after approval of the program. TAPING OF LECTURES Lectures and performance given by academic staff members and visit-ing speakers may be audio or video recorded by students provided prior approval has been granted by 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.Ed. I I B.N. I I B.A./B.Ed., I B.Sc./B.Ed., D.P.E. I 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 or 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 secre-tary of the General Faculties Council no later than 20 days after the deci-sion 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 appellant may terminate the appeal at any stage. ADVANCED PLACEMENT A student may have 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 Faculty/School to enrol in advanced courses. 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 of The University of Lethbridge. Eligibility to challenge for credit is determined by the Faculty or School. 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. No grade is assigned for a course accredited by challenge, nor does the credit count toward the residence requirement. STUDY AT OTHER UNIVERSITIES AS A VISITING STUDENT As it may suit their program, and within the Faculty/School residence requirement, students may be authorized to take courses at another uni-versity if their registration as a visiting student is acceptable to that institu-tion. Application for such authorization must be approved in advance. It is the responsibility of the student to ensure than an official transcript of grades is sent to the Registrar at Lethbridge. ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT PERFORMANCE Within the policies of the Academic Councils, an instructor bears full responsibility for evaluating the academic performance of students. 17 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 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. Therefore, 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 Management, or Bachelor of Music programs. They may enrol in one of the professional transfer programs (see page 34), or they may commence University studies without committing themselves initially to a particular program. Whatever their intentions, all students registered in the Faculty fulfill a course distribution requirement In their first twenty courses. This feature of the curriculum, which does not specify particular courses but provides a large field of choice, is meant to ensure basic familiarity with the different subject areas and methods in the Arts and Sciences. The distribution requirement fits with all the programs, whole or part, offered in the Faculty and listed above. Integrative study is also requirement for all students in their first twenty courses. The focus of Integrative Studies is on the unity of knowledge rather than on its separate parts. Thus integrative studies courses are concerned with the variety of disciplinary perspectives that can be brought to bear on a single subject, and with how these perspectives are at once similar and different. Students may achieve further diversity in their programs through Inde-pendent Studies, Interdisciplinary Studies, and Applied Studies in which an approved work experience may be counted toward degree credit. Stu-dents may develop individual multidisciplinary majors, initiate courses in topics of special interest, or propose degree programs suited to their own needs. In order to explore unfamiliar subjects without affecting their gen-eral academic standing, students may enrol in a limited number of courses on a credit/non-credit basis. The term "course" in this Calendar section means a course, or course-equivalent such as Independent Study, offered by the Faculty of Arts and Science and studied for one semester, equivalent to 3 credit-hours; except that Physical Activity, Drama Activity, and Music Ensemble courses count for one-half course credit, equivalent to 1.5 credit hours. The normal full-time student load is five courses per semester. A student may acceler-ate their program by carrying a heavier study load, by attending summer sessions, or by working at Independent or Applied Study during the inter-vals between academic terms. Students may also complete degree require-ments with a diminished course load, or entirely on a part-time basis. Three degrees are offered in the Faculty of Arts and Science: Bachelor of Arts and Science (B.A. or B.Sc.), Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.) and Bachelor of Music (B.Mus.). Details of these degrees appear in the follow-ing pages. ACADEMIC ADVISING Academic advising in Arts and Science takes account of the variety of educational goals for which the Faculty wholly or partly provides, and affiliates with other counselling services in the University. The main function of advising is to interpret regulations and ensure that a student's registration conforms to the requirements of their present program. However, advisors may also keep in view program alternatives and assist students experiencing academic difficulties. FACULTY ADVISORS All students entering the Faculty of Arts and Science are assigned a Faculty Advisor who, for the student's first twenty courses, approves the student's registration and any change of registration in each term. While the student's contact with his advisor may include general discussion, the Advisor's signature indicates only that the student has consulted with the Advisor and that his registration does not violate any Faculty legislation. When possible, students should seek consultation with Advisors well before the actual period of registration. DEPARTMENT ADVISORS Each Arts and Science department and program designates an advisor who knows in detail department courses, prerequisites and course sched-ules, as well as all aspects of the department's major program. Although the basic requirements for each major program are set out in this Calendar, students should plan their major programs in consultation with the Department Advisor in order to ensure meeting their
