RECOMMENDATION
That Academic Board approve the proposal to amend Statute 6.1.1 – University Entrance and Admissions to Courses as detailed in the attached document.
12.2.4 Recognition of prior learning as a basis for admission to undergraduate programs
A document is attached.
The current University Policy on Recognition of Prior Learning (Academic Board 3/97) recognises 'credentialled' and 'uncredentialled' prior learning in relation to the granting of credit for both undergraduate and graduate courses. However, it notes that recognition of prior learning currently has only been approved for admission to graduate level courses (Graduate Studies Policy Academic Board 8/95).
To enable recognition of prior learning to be used as a basis for admission to undergraduate level courses, Admissions Committee make the following recommendations to Academic Board.
Academic Board members are invited to note that admission by Recognition of Prior Learning would be upon a basis deemed equivalent to standard entry levels by the faculty (see Graduate Studies Policy, Section 2.3 Determining Equivalence) and hence Paragraph 6.2 of Statute 6.1.1, as recommended, covers this issue.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Recommendation 1
That the policy on Recognition of Prior Learning be taken into account in assessing applicants for admission to undergraduate courses.
Recommendation 2
That policy and procedures for undergraduate admission on the basis of recognition of prior learning be consistent with graduate admission as detailed in the Graduate Studies Policy (Section 2 Admissions Policy And Procedures).
The following recommendations have previously been approved by Academic Board (8/95) for graduate programs and Admissions Committee now recommends to Academic Board their extension to undergraduate programs.
Recommendation 3
That faculties wishing to consider applicants for admission on the basis of recognition of prior learning develop clear guidelines for the assessment of these applicants for programs, and have these guidelines endorsed by the relevant Faculty Board and by the Admissions Committee.
Recommendation 4
That Faculty Boards ratify all decisions relating to the admission of students to undergraduate programs which are exceptions from the usual admissions criteria.
