4. GRADUATE STUDIES WORKING PARTY
4.1 Graduate Diploma Awards
At Meeting 4/94, the Education Committee referred a proposal (Agenda Item 10.7) from the Faculty of Business and Economics to the Graduate Studies Working Party. This proposal stated that
...it be adopted as a general principle that where a lower level course (graduate certificate or graduate diploma) is a prerequisite for a higher level course (graduate diploma or masters degree), the student be permitted to take out both qualifications, but where there is a transfer of credit from the lower level course to the higher then only one qualification be awarded.
The working party has agreed to recommend to the Education Committee that the proposal be rejected, on the grounds that the proposal would disadvantage students wishing to transfer within the University from one level course to another. The working party could not see the need to prevent the lower level award from being made. In addition, the working party would recommend that practices in current usage in all faculties be examined in light of this decision (Item 8.3 of this Agenda is also relevant to this issue).
Recommendation:
That the Committee return the proposal to the Faculty of Business and Economics with the recommendation that the principle not be adopted at this time, and that all faculties examine their current practices regarding the taking out of sequential degrees in light of this decision.
4.2 Graduate Course Titles
At Meeting 4/94, the Education Committee referred a proposal (Agenda Item 10.8) from the Faculty of Business and Economics to the Graduate Studies Working Party. This proposal stated that
...graduate diplomas be differentiated and renamed to reflect the difference between broad entry requirements, viz, the designation "graduate diploma" be used where applicants have graduated in another disciplinary area to the diploma, and "postgraduate diploma" where applicants have graduated in the same discipline as the diploma and have three years of sequential knowledge.
The proposal was rejected by Council in 1991, and the working party has agreed to recommend to the Education Committee that once again the proposal be rejected, as the distinction would prove too difficult to make.
Recommendation:
That the Committee return the proposal to the Faculty of Business and Economics with the recommendation that the principle not be adopted at this time.
5. BACHELOR OF COMMUNICATIONS
Correspondence concerning the additional information requested by the Education Committee is attached. The Committee should note that the course proposal will be resubmitted to the 22 February meeting of the Education Committee, with the additional information requested, and that faculty responses to the course proposal will be submitted to the 5 April meeting of the Education Committee.
Recommendation:
That the Committee note that the additional information requested, clarifying the structure of the course, will be provided at the 22 February meeting of the Education Committee, and that Faculty responses to the course proposal will be submitted to the 5 April meeting of the Education Committee.
6. STUDENT REPRESENTATION
At meeting 7/94, the student representatives requested more time to consider the proposed changes to student membership of the Education Committee. The changes to student organisations passed by Council mean that the student membership of Education Committee must be altered. The recommendation which follows is the original recommendation.
Recommendation:
That the Committee endorse for transmission to Academic Board the following amendments to the student representation on the Education Committee: that MUFSO be asked to nominate four student members of the Education Committee, to hold their positions from 1 March to 28/29 February of the following year in each case. These students will represent Masters candidates (1), Graduate Diploma candidates (1), and undergraduate award candidates (2, with the proviso that the two students chosen must come from different campuses). Each representative shall have a designated alternate, also nominated by MUFSO and falling into the same categories.

8. MATTERS REFERRED FROM ACADEMIC BOARD
8.1 Amendment to Regulations for the honours degree of the Bachelor of Arts
Attached are extracts from the Agenda of Academic Board Meeting 8/94 and the Report of the Board of the Faculty of Arts. The Faculty Board recommends that the provision to take an honours year in the discipline of Psychology be deleted from the honours degree of Bachelor of Arts, since students are able to undertake an honours year in that discipline in the Faculty of Science. The Academic Board expressed reservations concerning the potential impact on funding and on the Faculty of Science.
Recommendation:
That the Committee discuss the proposal and determine whether to endorse for transmission to the Academic Board the proposal that Schedule J, Part II, to the Bachelor of Arts regulations be amended by deleting the reference to psychology as an Honours discipline.

The Academic Board, at Meeting 8/94, agreed to amend the regulations of the BSc degree in order that no person may be awarded the pass and honours degree of Bachelor of Science on the same day. The Education Committee is asked to consider, in light of this amendment to legislation, the general question of whether one person should be permitted to take out both a pass and an honours degree (Item 4.1 of this Agenda is also relevant to this issue).
Recommendation:
That the Education Committee consider whether one person should be permitted to take out both a pass and an honours degree, and make recommendation on the issue to Academic Board.
