| The Faculty of Arts has submitted a document requesting consideration of
their proposal to record majors or specialisations on degree testamurs. At Academic Board
Meeting 3/96, Minute 14.1, the following decision was taken: The Academic Board:
endorsed the recommendation of the Education Committee that faculties be permitted to make
a case to the University Council should they wish to include the specialisation of the
student in the wording of the official testamur for all students receiving a particular
degree; and endorsed the further recommendation of the Committee that prior to making such
a case to Council, the faculty be required to define the administrative process which
would be used to determine the specialisation proposed to be included The Faculty of
Arts has not yet submitted the definition as required in the second dot point above. Recommendation: That the Committee receive and note the request of the Faculty of Arts to record the major field of study on certain degree testamurs, but await the information regarding the definition of the administrative process prior to considering the request for submission to the Academic Board and subsequently to Council. |

advice from the University Solicitor's Office. The University now teaches students in a
range of programs and through a range of methods, including Open Learning, through short
courses and via the type of Faculty based award mentioned in the memorandum from the Dean
of Business and Economics. The University also makes awards to students who have not
enrolled at this University, but at private institutions with which there are
instructional arrangements.
