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. The Faculty of Arts and Science offers instruction leading to the degrees B.A., B.Sc., B.M.A., B.F.A., and B. Mus. The Faculty of Education offers instruction leading to the degree B.Ed. and to the post-baccalaureate professional diploma in Education, D.P.E. The University also offers programs for transfer of credit to professional faculties at other universities in Agriculture and Forestry, Business, Dentistry, Engineering, Environmental Design, Food Science, Household Economics, Law, Library Science, Medicine, Nursing, Optometry, Pharmacy, Social Welfare, and Veterinary Medicine. The public service program is designed to meet the variety of educational needs and interests evident in the community. It consists of certificate programs, noncredit instruction, seminars, conferences, exhibitions, per-formances 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. 5 ACADEMIC CALENDAR 1977 - 1978 1977 APRIL 22 Friday - Last day for registration , for Summer Session I. 29 Friday - Registration and Enrolment day for Professional Semester II, Faculty of Education, for Fall Semester 1977.

A full-time student who withdraws from courses, if such transaction results in enrolment in fewer than three courses, is then reclassified as part-time and is entitled to a pro-rated refund for withdrawn courses. Advantages accruing to the student 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. A full-time student who withdraws from courses but remains enrolled in three courses retains classification as a full-time student. Such students will receive a pro-rated refund on the $25.00 difference between the regular full-time fee assessment and the fee assessment for three semester courses. Students enrolled in Summer Session should consult the Summer Session Calendar for details of the Course Withdrawal procedure. 12 FEES AND EXPENSES FEE SCHEDULE All fees are subject to change subsequent to the printing 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 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 three 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. DISTINCTION AND GREAT DISTINCTION Degr'ees with Distinction or Great Distinction are conferred upon students who have displayed outstanding academic performances 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 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. 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: (a) At the University of Lethbridge: a student who enrolls in courses at the University of Lethbridge with the credit to be applied toward a program at another institution. Such a student is required to present a letter from a responsible officer of another institution authorizing enrolment in specific courses at the University of Lethbridge that are acceptable for credit at the other 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 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. 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 W - Withdrawal N/A The overall academic performance of a student is expressed in terms of the grade-point-average (G.P.A.). F - Falling. 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 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 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 14 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). 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. 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 enrol in a maximum of two credit/non-credit courses per semester but may not enrol in more than a total of eight for credit towards a degree. Such courses must be declared at the time of enrolment. Successful completion of course requirements results in Cr being re-corded on the student's transcript; an NC is recorded if course require-ments are not fulfilled. The credit/non-credit courses are not considered in computing the student's grade-point-average. Substitution of,"credit" by 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 compu-tation. Replacing a "credit" with a letter grade in any credit/non-credit course does not enable the student to enrol in more than a maximum of eight such courses. A student may not enrol in credit/non-credit courses in his major, nor in required courses in Education. Within the over-all limit of eight, Education students may enrol in a maximum of three credit/non-credit courses in Professional Education. Transfer students and students pursuing a second degree may enrol in credit/non-credit courses on a proportional basis. STUDENT APPEALS Students dissatisfied with the application of an academic policy or regula-tion to their own status are entitled to a review by the Associate Dean for Student Affairs in the Faculty of Arts and Science, or by the Director of Student Program Services in the Faculty of Education. If still dissatisfied after this review, the student may address a written appeal to the Dean, who renders the final decision on behalf of the Faculty. A student may appeal a decision of a Faculty to the General Faculties Council. 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, 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. 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. 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 dissatisifed, 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. RESIDENCE REQUIREMENTS A student with transfer credit who is a candidate for a degree must satisfy the minimum residence requirement though successful completion of courses, or their equivalent, excluding credit by challenge, at the Univer-sity of Lethbridge as follows: B.A. 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 B.F.A. or as the first or second degree: B.Mus the final twenty semester courses offered for credit toward the degree B.Ed. as the first degree: twenty semester courses, including the final ten offered - for credit toward the degree as the second degree: the final ten courses offered for credit toward the degree Note: Each transfer student and each candidate for second degree re-quires Faculty approval of the total study program in advance. • • • 15 ^ '1•• • 2101ah.

Hoye Coordinator, Continuing Education — W.C. Latta, Jr. 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.MLA.), 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. Subse-quently they may either continue in general studies or concentrate upon a disciplinary or multidisciplinary study in depth. The flexibility of the semester sYstem and the dearth of academic regulations permit students, within the limitationi of the University'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. Students may also gain academic credit through , the Cooperative 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 contem-porary concepts of the discipline, rather than providing a comprehensive survey of the subject. Henceits 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. INFORMATION AND ADVICE 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 goali,. programs and standing. Some curricular options require approval' in advance. Others can only be planned effectively on the basis of accbrate and current information on programs, courses, and schedules. Academic advising is coordinated by the Associate Dean for Student Affairs. In addition, departmental academic advisors are designated to inform students about the nature and requirements of departmental programs and courses. Academic advice may be obtained at any time during the year, but it is most advantageous for new students particularly to consult advisors during the three weeks prior to the start of a semester. Students must obtain approval of the Associate Dean for Student Affairs for: Advanced placement Challenge for credit individual programs Multidisciplinary majors Combined B.A./B.Ed. programs B.A. after, transfer to a professional faculty B.A., 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 for Student Affairs 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 aca-demic advisors for: Selection of courses for a malor Future scheduling of courses Planning for graduate studies Prerequisites and recommended backgrounds Availability of independent study • MAJOR The great variety possible within the major requirement with respect to both the number and selection of courses necessitates that students plan with, care a major program that will meet their 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 students obtain advice on the design of their 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 students considering graduate studies should consult the chairman cif their major department by the time they have decided upon a major. PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS Students planning admission' to professional faculties are advised to consult the Associate Dean, notwithstanding the professional transfer program detailed elsewhere in this Calendar. 17 ACADEMIC REGULATIONS DEGREE DESIGNATION B.A. and B.Sc. The degree Bachelor of Arts and Science (B.A.) is awarded to a student who has met the requirements outlined in this section of the Calendar. However, a student who majors in a science (e.g. Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Physical Geography, and Experimental Psychology) with credit for at least 21 semester courses in the sciences, may apply for the alternative degree designation Bachelor of Arts and Science (B.Sc.) Throughout this Calendar the term B.A. degree is used for convenience to represent the degree Bachelor of Arts and Science. 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 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 re-admission must include evidence that the causes of previous unsatis-factory 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-point-average. A student dismissed for academic reasons after two or more semesters may apply for readmission after a lapse of one full year. If readmission is granted, the courses taken during the unsuccessful semesters are not included in calculation of the grade-point-average, but limited credit may be assigned. 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 department to enrol 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. No grade is assigned for a course accredited by challenge, nor does the credit count toward the residence requirement. STUDY AT OTHER UNIVERSITIES As it may suit their program, and within the Arts and Science residence requirement, students may be authorized to take courses at another university if their registration as a visiting student is acceptable to that institution. Application for such authorization must be approved in advance by the Associate 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 evaluating the academic perfor-mance of students. An instructor is obliged to 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. Final examinations are 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. 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 instructional resources become exhausted. In such circumstances, priority . for the enrolment of students who possess the specified prerequisites is 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; 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 are dealt with through consultation between the Dean and the department concerned. 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 work's level of advance-ment. 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. Independent 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. 18 COOPERATIVE STUDIES The term Cooperative Studies applies to the activities of a student employed externally in a work environment related to the academic program of the Faculty. Academic credit toward a degree is assigned for demonstrated advancement in the student's knowledge, understanding and skills. 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 not ordinarily included in the regular curriculum may be introduced. Some examples are: 'Human Survival', 'Comparative Judicial Systems', 'Arctic and Prairie Ecosystems'. The development of such courses requires cooperation of students and faculty members during the investigations of topics of interest. When a proposed course has received sufficient examination 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 October 20 in the Fall Semester and March 1 in the Spring Semester. The proposal is expected to define the topic, indicate the academic rationale, provide a detailed syllabus and specify sources of reference materials, and 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 enrol in one student-initiated course in each semester other than his first. Further information is available from the office of the Dean. CURRICULUM FOR THE DEGREE BA. TOTAL CURRICULUM In order to qualify for the degree B.A., a student must complete success-fully 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 and Drama 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 back-grounds, aims, and interests; so that within the existing policies of the Faculty, they may construct a program of their own choosing. Never-theless 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 gives the student a fair idea of the kinds of subject areas available, and so makes the choice of a 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 of the remaining two lists. Formai 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 Management Arts French Native American Studies Latin Political Science Greek Psychology Spanish Sociology German MAJOR Russian The student should select, before completing twenty semester courses, a subject (disciplinary major) or combination of subjects (multidisicplinary 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. More courses must be taken in the major than in any other discipline. 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 students considering graduate studies should consult the Chairman of their 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 miiltidisciplinary 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 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. Courses numbered below the 1000 level are ordinarily not taken for degree credit by students,who have completed and received credit for the relevant 30-level high school course nor by students who have successfully com-pleted courses at or above the 1000-level in the discipline in question. 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 which offer instruction to a lesser extent in supplementary subjects. 19 For 1977-78, majors are offered in: Anthropology • Mathematics Art Modern Languages Biological Sciences Music Chemistry Native American Studies Economics Philosophy English Physical Education French Physics Geography Political Science History Psychology Sociology and supplementary courses of instruction in: Astronomy Linguistics Botany Logic Computing Science Management Arts Dramatic Arts Meteorology Engineering Russian GeologY Spanish German Statistics Greek Zoology Latin Detailed information about a disciplinary major may be obtained from the department. 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 submitted fo 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 considered in the evaluation of a multidisci-plinary major are that it represents a recognizable and significant body of knowledge, and that it represents an analysis in depth rather than a superficial survey of a broad topic. Aside from one or two seminar courses in specialized topics and such independent study as may be arranged, the program is expected to be derived from the exist
