It is a provincial university with membership in the Association of Commonwealth Universities and the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada. The University of Lethbridge participates with the universities and other post-secondary institutions of Alberta in a variety of cooperative programs and activities. The University 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 1,600 full-time students in 1980. Another 1,800 students attended the University part-time or enrolled in Summer School during 1980. 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 charac-terized by its many green areas and parks, and its abundant cultural and recrea-tional 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 Coulees" 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 Education 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 sophis-ticated 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.), Management Arts (B.M.A.), 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 Nursing offers instruction leading to a bachelor degree (post-basic) in Nursing (B.N.) The University also otters programs for transfer of credit to professional faculties at other universities in Agriculture, Dentistry, Engineering, Environ-mental Design, Food Science, Forestry, Home Economics, Law, Library Science, Medicine, Optometry, Pharmacy, Social Welfare and Veterinary Medicine. A public service program is designed to meet the variety of educational needs and interests evident in the community. It consists of certificate programs, non-credit instruction, seminars, conferences, exhibitions, 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 sNrit 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 js self-evident that a university cannot function without complete autorhony in this domain. 5 July 1981 SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT 1234 10 11 17 18 24 25 31 5 6 7 8 9 12 13 14 15 16 19 20 21 22 23 26 27 28 29 30 June 1981 SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT 5 6 12 13 19 20 26 27 1 2 3 4 7 8 9 10 11 14 15 16 ' 17 18 21 22 23 24 25 28 29 30 April 1981 SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT 1234 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 May 1981 SUN MON TUE WED THU FRI SAT 12 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 2%, 25 26 27 28 29 30 September 1981 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 August 1981 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 2%0 2%, 25 26 27 28 29 ACADEMIC CALENDAR 1981 - 1982 1981 APRIL 7 Tuesday - Last day of classes for the 1981 Spring Semester. 10 Friday - Spring Semester final examinations begin. 17 Friday - Statutory Holiday - University closed. 20 Monday - Holiday - University closed. 21 Tuesday - Last day for registration for Summer Session I. 24 Friday - Registration and enrolment day for Professional Semester II, Faculty of Education for Fall Semester 1981.

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 complete 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 students who have displayed outstanding academic performance during their undergraduate education 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 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 qualifications but has the same status as a regular student. Special student is one who has been formally admitted to thr University but is not pursuing a program of studies leading to a degree. Visiting student is: (a) 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 authorizing enrolment in specific courses at The University of Lethbridge acceptable for credit at the other institution. (b) a student who studies at another institution for credit at The University of Lethbridge. The authorization of the Dean 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 particularly 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 admission 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 enrolment is limited. 7. Occasional Students may apply for formal admission at any time through one of the approved admission routes. 8. A maximum of two courses taken as an Occasional Student may be counted toward degree or certificate requirements. 15 The procedure for Occasional Student Enrolment is as follows: 1. The student must enrol by no later than one week following commencement 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 academic performance of a student is expressed in terms of the grade point average (G.P.A.) 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 Non-Grade Designation I - Incomplete W - Withdrawal X - Continuing Cr - Credit Nc - No credit P - Pass Incomplete. The designation of I is awarded 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 approval of both the instructur 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 Experiences courses, students should consult the Director of Student Program Services, as a different interpretation of Incomplete applies to these courses. W -Withdrawal without academic prejudice. A designation of W may be recorded at any time after the first week of classes, up to and I 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 conclusion of the course. Cr/Nc - Credit/Non-Credit Altemative 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 requirements are not fulfilled, the student is awarded the designation Nc. Courses taken as credit/non-credit are not included in computation of the grade-point-average. If requested by the student, substitution of Cr by a letter grade is permitted until thirty days after grades have been mailed. In such a case, the course is included in the grade-point-average computation. A student may elect credit/non-credit in a maximum of two courses per semester, but may not elect more than a total of eight for credit toward a degree. The credit/non-credit alternative must be declared at the time of enrolment. 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, Management Arts courses are regarded as the major for the degree B.M.A. Transfer students or students pursuing a second degree may elect to take courses as credit/non-credit on a proportional basis. P - Pass/Fail Courses Certain courses are specified as Pass/Fail in the course descriptions. For such courses, students are awarded either the designation P or the grade F. The designation P indicates satisfactory completion of the 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 Dean of the Faculty or Director of the School in which they are registered. A student initiating an appeal beyond the instructor should inform the Dean or Director concerned, and obtain full details of the procedure. 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 of a Faculty or School to the General Faculties Council. 16 APPEAL OF GRADE A student dissatisfied with an assigned grade in an Arts and Science course may request that the instructor review the grade. This request must be made not later than two weeks after the beginning of the following semester, not counting Summer School. If after this review the student is still dissatisfied, a written appeal may be sent 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. If the appeal is initiated between the end of the Spring Semester and the beginning of the Fall Semester, the appeal deadlines may be extended until the appropriate committees can be convened. 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, a written appeal may be sent 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. CANDIDATES FOR SECOND DEGREES Each candidate for second degree requires Faculty 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 visiting 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. • • • 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: 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. B.A./B.Sc., B.M.A. B.F.A., B.Mus. I B.Ed. I B.N. I I B.A./B.Ed., B.Sc./B.Ed. D.P.E. I 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. 17 Students rehearse in new experimental theatre FACULTY OF ARTS AND SCIENCE Academic advising is coordinated by the Associate Dean, Student Affairs. In addition, departmental academic advisors are designated to inform students about the nature and requirements of departmental programs and courses. Dean — Cassis Associate Dean, Student AfAiIrs — MA. Hesse Associate Dean, Administrative Affairs — LG. Hoye Coordinator, Continuing Education — M.L. SandHands The University offers instruction in the Arts, the Sciences and the Fine Arts leading to the degrees Bachelor of Arts and Science (B.A. or B.Sc.), Bachelor of Fine Arts (B.F.A.), Bachelor of Music (B.Mus.), and Bachelor of Management Arts (B.M.A.). A full-time student carrying the normal academic load of five courses per semester may complete degree requirements in eight semesters. However it is possible for a student to attain a 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 attitudes, the recognition of facts and their relationships, the comprehension of abstract thought, and the structure of ideas. The curriculum is designed to permit students to establish a broad foundation of general studies during the first four semesters. Subsequently they may either continue in general studies or concentrate upon a disciplinary or multidisciplinary study in depth. The flexibility of the semester system encourages students 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. Interdisciplinary Studies are available on a limited scale for students who wish to develop experimental programs of study outside of the regular curriculum. Students may also gain academic credit through the Applied Studies mode. Students have the option to enrol in a limited number of credit/non-credit courses in order to explore subjects beyond their principal interests without affecting their general academic standing. Each introductory course emphasizes the main historical and contemporary concepts of the discipline, rather than providing a comprehensive survey of the subject. Hence its value is best realized if followed by a sequel or sequels in the same subject, each intended to develop in depth one or more of the concepts of the introductory course. ACADEMIC ADVISING The variations in the program and the flexibility of the curriculum in Arts and Science make it essential for both new and returning students to seek advice concerning their academic goals, programs and standing. Some curricular options require approval in advance. Others can be planned effectively only on the basis of accurate and current information on programs, courses and schedules. Academic advice may be obtained at any time during the year, but it is particularly advantageous for new students to consult advisors during the three weeks prior to the start of a semester. Students must obtain approval of the Associate Dean, Student Affairs for: Advanced placement Challenge for credit individual programs Multidisciplinary majors Combined B.A./B.Ed., B.Sc./B.Ed. and B.Mus./B.Ed. programs B.A./B.Sc. after transfer to a professional faculty B.A., B.Sc., B.F.A., B.M.A., B.Mus. as second degree Authorized study at other universities Students may obtain advice and information from the Associate Dean, Student Affairs and the Counselling Centre for: All aspects of program selection and planning Academic regulations and degree requirements Model curriculum for first year students Grading system Courses initiated by students Professional transfer programs Students should obtain advice and information from departmental academic advisors for: Selection of courses for a major Future scheduling of courses Planning for graduate studies Prerequisites and recommended backgrounds Availability of independent study MAJORS The options within the major requirement with respect to the number and selection of courses necessitate that students plan major programs carefully in order to meet their individual aims. These might include graduate school or professional school admission, vocational goals or integration of the major with liberal studies. It is therefore crucial that students obtain advice on the design of their particular major program from faculty and departmental 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 students considering graduate studies should consult the chairman of their major department as soon as they decide upon a major. PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS Students planning admission to professional faculties are advised to consult the Associate Dean, Student Affairs, notwithstanding the professional transfer programs detailed elsewhere in this Calendar. 19 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, students must maintain a grade-point-average of 2.00 or above at all stages in their progress toward a degree. If the grade-point-average falls below this level, the student is placed on probation; if below the following levels, required to withdraw from the University: Number of Courses Taken Grade-Point-Average 3 to 5 0.99 6 to 15 1.25 16 to 25 1.50 26 to 40 1.90 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 unsatis-factory work have been
