The Regular Officer Training Plan (ROTP) is based on four components of success: Academic, Leadership and Management Skills, Second Language Training, and Fitness. The plan is fully subsidized for up to five years of university leading to undergraduate degrees in Engineering, Sciences, Arts or Administration. Specialist degrees in Physiotherapy, Pharmacy and Nursing are also subsidized. Medicine and Dentistry are subsidized under separate plans called MOTP and DOTP respectively. Because of its full subsidization, the plan includes an obligation to serve in the Canadian Forces as an officer for a fixed period after graduation. The Reserve Entry Training Plan (RETP) is similar, but applicants attend Canadian Forces Military Colleges, paying their own tuition. Current tuition fees are approximately $6000 a year, but students are offered summer employment with the military to assist them in meeting tuition fees. RETP graduates have an obligation (moral) to serve on a part-time basis with the Canadian Forces Primary Reserve if there is a unit available in their geographical area.

ATTENdaNcE
Students are expected to attend all classes in which they are enrolled. An academic unit may require a student to withdraw from a course if the student is registered in another course that occurs at the same time. In some courses students may be assigned a final grade of N or debarred from writing final examinations if they have failed to satisfy a minimum attendance requirement set by an instructor for lectures, laboratories, online course discussions or learning activities, tutorials, or other learning activities set out in the course outline. Instructors in such courses must inform students in the course outline of any minimum attendance requirement and the circumstances under which they will be assigned a final grade of N or debarred from final examinations. Students who are absent, late or cannot attend an entire class because of illness, an accident or family affliction should report to their instructors as soon as possible. (For more information, refer to Academic Concessions on page 35.) An instructor may refuse a student admission to a lecture, laboratory, online course discussion or learning activity, tutorial or other learning activity set out in the course outline because of lateness, misconduct, inattention or failure to meet the responsibilities of the course set out in the course outline. Students who neglect their academic work may be assigned a final grade of N or debarred from final examinations. Students who do not attend classes must not assume that they have been dropped from a course by an academic unit or an instructor. Courses that are not formally dropped will be given a failing grade, students may be required to withdraw and will be required to pay the tuition fee for the course.

Accumulation of Credit
All course credits earned are recorded on the students academic record. Whether credit for a course applies toward a degree or diploma is determined by the regulations governing the program. In the case of a course taken more than once, the unit value will be shown on the students record in each instance, but units are awarded only once unless the course is designated as one that may be repeated for additional credit.
are treated as UVic course credits in determining whether the student has met the minimum requirements for graduation and the students standing at graduation. Students who participate in an exchange program should be aware that normally 18 units of the required minimum 21 senior units should be completed at UVic. Courses completed on approved exchange programs are entered on the students academic record as exchange credit. Letter grades are not assigned; a Com/Fail is recorded for each recognized exchange course. In instances where no direct equivalent course exists, non-specific level credit will be assigned and recorded on the transcript. The transcript will also indicate that the courses were completed on an exchange program at another institution. Exchange credit may not be recognized for all courses. Students interested in applying for a UVic International Exchange Program should complete both the UVic International Exchange Program application and the Proposed Study Plan form, which are available at <www.iess.uvic.ca>. An information session is held in the spring and fall each year prior to the September and January application deadlines. Before leaving on an exchange program, each student must complete the Official Exchange Contract and Liability Waiver. Students should be aware that they could be unable to register in some or all of the exchange courses they plan to take at the exchange institution due to timetable conflicts or course cancellation. On completion of the exchange, students must request the host institution to forward an official transcript directly to Undergraduate Records at UVic. It is the students responsibility to obtain all course descriptions, course outlines and syllabuses, including the contact hours per course. In addition, a notarized translation of documents issued in a language other than English will be required for all but language courses. Students should NOT submit additional supplementary documentation (such as completed assignments, course texts, etc.) unless specifically requested to do so by Undergraduate Records. The determination of course equivalencies cannot proceed until the above-noted official transcript and documentation are received. Exchange credit may not be recognized for all courses. Policies and procedures may differ for exchange programs administered by individual academic units. Students in the Faculty of Business and the Faculty of Law should consult their faculty.

so will normally be refused permission to register again in the required course. A student may not attempt a course a third time without the prior approval of the Dean of the faculty and the Chair of the department in which the course is offered unless the calendar course entry states that the course may be repeated for additional credit. A student who has not received this approval may be deregistered from the course at any point and may be asked to withdraw from his or her declared or intended program. Note: When a course is repeated, both the original grade and the grade assigned for the repeated course will remain on the students record.
Definitions
In this policy: work is defined as including the following: written material, laboratory work, computer work, computer code, assignments, research materials, research results, musical or art works, oral reports, audiovisual or recorded presentations, lesson plans, and material in any medium submitted to an instructor for grading purposes. Dean is defined as the Dean of a students faculty and, in the case of graduate students, is defined as the Dean of Graduate Studies. Chair is defined as including the Chair or Director of a unit or, in the case of non-departmentalized faculties, the Dean. instructor is defined to include instructors and graduate supervisors.
Multiple Submission Multiple submission is the resubmission of work by a student that has been used in identical or similar form to fulfill any academic requirement at UVic or another institution. Students who do so without prior permission from their instructor are subject to penalty. Falsifying Materials Subject to Academic Evaluation Falsifying materials subject to academic evaluation includes, but is not limited to: fraudulently manipulating laboratory processes, electronic data or research data in order to achieve desired results using work prepared in whole or in part by someone else (e.g., commercially prepared essays) and submitting it as ones own citing a source from which material was not obtained using a quoted reference from a non-original source while implying reference to the original source submitting false records, information or data, in writing or orally Cheating on Work, Tests and Examinations Cheating includes, but is not limited to: copying the answers or other work of another person sharing information or answers when doing take-home assignments, tests or examinations except where the instructor has authorized collaborative work having in an examination or test any materials or equipment other than those authorized by the examiners accessing unauthorized information when doing take-home assignments, tests or examinations impersonating a student on an examination or test, or being assigned the results of such impersonation accessing or attempting to access examinations or tests before it is permitted to do so Students found communicating with one another in any way or having unauthorized books, papers, notes or electronic devices in their possession during a test or examination will be considered to be in violation of this policy. Aiding Others to Cheat It is a violation to help others or attempt to help others to engage in any of the conduct described above.

Single or multiple instances of inadequate attribution of sources should result in a failing grade for the work. A largely or fully plagiarized piece of work should result in a grade of F for the course.
Multiple Submission Without Prior Permission
If a substantial part of a piece of work submitted for one course is essentially the same as part or all of a piece of work submitted for another course, this should result in a failing grade for the assignment in one of the courses. If the same piece of work is submitted for two courses, this should result in a grade of F for one of the courses. The penalty normally will be imposed in the second (i.e., later) course in which the work was submitted.
Falsifying Materials
offence will be made by the Chair, this penalty can only be imposed by the Dean. Instances of plagiarism or falsification of materials that affect a major part of the students dissertation, thesis or final project should result in the student being placed on disciplinary probation with a notation on the students transcript that is removed upon graduation, and rejection of the dissertation, thesis or final project, and the student being required to rewrite the work in its entirety. While the determination of the nature of the offence will be made by the Chair, this penalty can only be imposed by the Dean. The penalties for violations relating to graduate dissertations, theses or final projects may apply where a violation occurs in submitted drafts, as well as in the final version of a dissertation, thesis or final project.
Particularly Unusual or Serious Violations
If a substantial part of a piece of work is based on false materials, this should result in a failing grade for the work. If an entire piece of work is based on false materials (e.g., submitting a commercially prepared essay as ones own work), this should result in a grade of F for the course.
Cheating on Exams
Any instance of impersonation of a student during an exam should result in a grade of F for the course for the student being impersonated, and disciplinary probation for the impersonator (if he or she is a student). Isolated instances of copying the work of another student during an exam should result in a grade of zero for the exam. Systematic copying of the work of another student (or any other person with access to the exam questions) should result in a grade of F for the course. Any instance of bringing unauthorized equipment or material into an exam should result in a grade of zero for the exam. Sharing information or answers for take-home assignments and tests when this is clearly prohibited in written instructions should result in a grade of zero for the assignment when such sharing covers a minor part of the work, and a grade of F for the course when such sharing covers a substantial part of the work.
Collaborative Work
In the case of a first-time violation that is particularly unusual or serious (e.g. falsification of research results), the Chair may refer the case to the Dean, with a recommendation for a penalty more severe than those normally imposed for a first violation. Penalties for Second or Subsequent Academic Integrity Violation
UNdERgRAduAtE INFORMAtiON Repeat Violations
In cases in which an instructor has provided clear written instructions prohibiting certain kinds of collaboration on group projects (e.g., students may share research but must write up the results individually), instances of prohibited collaboration on a substantial part of the work should result in a failing grade for the work, while instances of prohibited collaboration on the bulk of the work should result in a grade of F for the course. In situations where collaborative work is allowed, only the student or students who commit the violation are subject to penalty.
Violations Relating to Graduate Dissertations, Theses or Final Projects
Penalties
Penalties for First Academic Integrity Violation In situations where a determination is made that a student has committed a first academic integrity violation, the following penalties will normally be imposed. The penalties for violations relating to graduate dissertations, theses or final projects are different than those for other violations.
Instances of substantial plagiarism or falsification of materials that affect a minor part of the students dissertation, thesis or final project should result in a student being placed on disciplinary probation with a notation on the students transcript that is removed upon graduation, and being required to rewrite the affected section of the dissertation, thesis or final project. While the determination of the nature of the
Any instance of any of the violations described above committed by a student who has already committed one violation, especially if either of the violations merited a grade of F for the course, should result in the student being placed on disciplinary probation. Disciplinary probation will be recorded on the students transcript. The decision to place a student on disciplinary probation with a notation on the students transcript that is removed upon graduation can only be made by the Dean. In situations where a student commits two or more major academic integrity violations, the student may be placed on disciplinary probation with a permanent notation on the students transcript. The decision to place a student on disciplinary probation with a permanent notation can only be made by the Vice-President Academic and Provost (or delegate), upon recommendation of the Dean. In making this decision, the Vice-President Academic and Provost will consider factors such as the nature of the major violations, and whether there has been an interval between violations such that learning could have taken place. If a student on disciplinary probation commits another violation, this should result in the students permanent suspension. This decision can only be taken by the President, on the recommendation of the Dean. In situations where a graduate student who has been placed on disciplinary probation after a first offence commits a second offence, the student should be subject to permanent suspension. This decision can only be taken by the President, on the recommendation of the Dean. Non Course-Based Penalties If a student has withdrawn from a course or the university, or is not registered in a course associated with a violation, this policy must still be followed. If a determination is made that compelling information exists to support the allega-

This application may be made 10 years after the final decision regarding the violation has been made and must include compelling evidence to explain why the notation should be removed. Instructors are expected to give corrective comments on all assigned work submitted and, if requested to do so by the student, on final examinations. Where appropriate and practical, instructors should attempt to mark students work without first determining the students identity.
tion against a student, a letter of reprimand and, if appropriate, a more serious penalty in this policy should be imposed, although no coursebased penalty may be imposed.
Records Management
Violations of academic integrity are most serious when repeated. Records of violations of this policy are kept to ensure that students who have committed more than one violation can be identified and appropriately sanctioned. Access to these records is restricted to protect students right to privacy. Records Records relating to academic integrity violations will be stored in the Office of the Registrar. Chairs, Directors and Deans (whichever is responsible for imposing the penalty) will report academic integrity violations and will forward all documentation relating to a violation to the Office of the Registrar once the decision regarding a violation has been made. Records will only be kept in cases where is determined that compelling information exists to support an allegation. In the case of a successful appeal, the record maintained by the Office of the Registrar will be removed. Access to Records Only Deans, the Registrar and the Directors of Undergraduate and Graduate Records will have access to student records regarding academic integrity violations, and normally only to check for repeat violations. Access to records will not normally be granted to instructors, Chairs, or other staff. Chairs may contact the Office of the Registrar to determine if the students record contains any confirmed academic integrity violations. i) In some special circumstances, there may be reasons why Deans or faculty members need to have access to this information (e.g., character attestation for purposes of professional accreditation). If a faculty intends to request access to students records for any such purpose, that purpose must disclosed by the faculty to students. ii) Deans and Chairs may request aggregate information from the Office of the Registrar on numbers of violations for purposes of analysis, but in this case the information is to be provided without revealing personal information. Records Retention The following retention periods apply to records relating to academic integrity violations: i) First violations - 5 years after the final decision regarding the violation has been made. ii) Second or subsequent violations where no permanent notation has been made on a students transcript - 5 years after the final decision regarding the violation has been made. iii) Second or subsequent violations where a permanent notation has been made on a students transcript permanent retention. Notations on a students transcript will be removed upon graduation or maintained permanently, in accordance with the penalty imposed under this policy. A student who has had a permanent notation imposed on his or her transcript may make an
Assessment Techniques
Each department will formally adopt the techniques for evaluating student performance which it considers appropriate for its courses and which allow instructors within the department some options. Assessment techniques include: assignments; essays; oral or written tests, including midterms; participation in class discussions; seminar presentations; artistic performances; professional practica; laboratory examinations; open book or take home examinations; and examinations administered by the instructor or Undergraduate Records during formal examination periods. Students may be asked to reflect critically on their own work or the work of other students; however, in all courses, instructors are responsible for the determination of grades. Instructors may not assign this responsibility, in whole or in part, to students, other than students appointed as teaching assistants or laboratory assistants under the terms of their appointments. Final examinations, other than language orals or laboratory examinations, will be administered during formal examination periods. Tests counting for more than 15% of the final grade may not be administered: in any regular 13-week term, during the last two weeks of classes or in the period between the last day of classes and the first day of examinations; in any Summer Session course, during the three class days preceding the last day of the course. Neither the department nor the instructor, even with the apparent consent of the class, may set aside this regulation. An instructor may not schedule any test that conflicts with the students other courses or any examination that conflicts with the students other examinations in the official examination timetable. An instructor may not schedule any test during the last two weeks of classes in a regular 13-week term unless students in the course have been given notice at least six weeks in advance. An instructor may not assign a weight of more than 60% of the overall course grade to a final examination without the consent of the Dean of the faculty.
English Deficiency
Term essays and examination papers in any course will be refused a passing grade if they are deficient in English. When an instructor has reasonable grounds for believing a student lacks the necessary skills in written English, the instructor, in consultation with the English departments Director of Writing, can require the student to write an English Deficiency Examination, administered by the English department, the results of which will be binding, regardless of any credit the student has accumulated at UVic or elsewhere.
Laboratory Work
In any science course which includes laboratory work, students will be required to achieve satisfactory standing in both parts of the course. Results for laboratory work will be announced by the department prior to the final examinations. Students who have not obtained a grade of at least D will not be permitted to write the exami-

AcadEMic CONcESSiONS
Academic Concession for work that will be completed before course grades are submitted by the instructor.
A student whose academic performance is affected by injury, family or personal affliction, or illness should immediately consult with University Counselling Services, University Health Services, or another health professional, and may request, directly from the course instructor, deferral or substitution of a mid-term test or examination, or of other work which is due during the term. This request must be accompanied by supporting documentation. All work for which a Concession is approved must be completed before course grades are submitted by the instructor. If the request for deferral or substitution of term work is denied, a student may appeal as described under Appeals on page 40.
Academic Concession for work that will be completed after course grades are submitted by the instructor.

Supplemental examinations for all other courses taken in the Winter Session are written about the end of July. - Students who fail to write a supplemental examination at the scheduled time forfeit both their eligibility and any fees paid for the examination. - Supplemental examinations for courses taken during the first term of the Winter Session or during the Summer Session are scheduled by arrangement through the department. - If the supplemental examination is not to be handled through the department, arrangements will be made through Undergraduate Records. The student will be notified by email regarding the supplemental exam, with a link to the supplemental examination application. The student must fill out the application online and return it to Undergraduate Records, accompanied by the necessary fees, by the end of the third week in June. Also, the application to write a supplemental exam is accessible online at <registrar.uvic. ca/undergrad/records/forms/forms.html>. - Supplemental exams organized through Undergraduate Records are held on the last three working days of July each summer. - Supplemental examinations organized through Undergraduate Records may be written at the University as well as at various centres inside and outside British Columbia (locations are restricted to universities or colleges). - The fee for each supplemental examination is $50 on campus and $60 off campus.
days of the end of the examination period of the term in which the course is taken. Undergraduate Records will ask the instructor to consider the request. If a Deferral is not approved, the instructor will submit a final grade. A student may appeal as described under Appeals on page 40. Where the instructor does not give a deferred examination but assigns a final grade based on an assessment of the students performance on the completed course work, the grade will appear on the students record with an Aegrotat (AEG) notation (see Grading, page 36). If a Deferral is granted, the final examination must be completed at the latest by the end of the term immediately following the course: courses ending in December: completion by the end of the following April; courses ending in April: completion by the end of the following August; Summer Session courses completion by the end of the following December. Deferred Exams for courses in the Bachelor of Engineering or Bachelor of Software Engineering programs will be written approximately four months following the deferral of the exam. For courses that finish in December and are prerequisite to courses starting in January, deferred final examinations are normally held by the end of the first two weeks in January. For courses that finish in April, deferred final examination may be scheduled either by the department or by Undergraduate Records. Deferred final examinations scheduled by Undergraduate Records are normally held the last three (3) working days of July. Undergraduate Records will send an email regarding deferred examinations, with a link to the Application to Write Undergraduate Deferred Examinations. The student must fill out the application and return it to Undergraduate Records, accompanied by the necessary fees, by the end of the third week in June. Deferred final examinations organized through Undergraduate Records may be written at the University as well as at various centres inside and outside British Columbia (locations are normally restricted to universities or colleges). The fee for each off-campus deferred exam is $60.00. There is no fee for deferred exams written on-campus. If deferred work is not completed by the deadline, the final grade for the course reverts to the grade calculated and submitted originally by the instructor on the basis of the work that was completed. A Deferral may be extended beyond the above deadlines only in exceptional circumstances and only with the written permission of the Dean (or designate) of the students Faculty of Registration. An additional RAC is required, asking for an Extended Deferral (see Academic Concessions, page 35). Students in the BEng program should consult the Faculty of Engineering regulations with respect to the timing of deferred exams. Students in their graduating year must, upon approval of a Deferral for a final examination, contact the Records Officer for their Faculty of Registration (c/o Undergraduate Records) immediately to discuss the timing of the final

A primary purpose of evaluation and grading is to further effective teaching and learning. Any practices which assign a predetermined percentage of students a specific grade, that is, a certain percentage get A, another percentage get B and so on, without regard to individual achievement are prohibited. The table on the next page shows the official grading system used by instructors in arriving at final assessments of student performance. For letter grades authorized for use in the Faculty of Law, see the entry under that faculty.

U N dE Rg RAduAtE I N FORMAtiON make any work available that forms part of the grade to be reviewed. Undergraduate Records will make available completed final examinations when necessary. Undergraduate Records will send all materials involved in the grade review to the department Chair/Director, who will then arrange an independent evaluation of the grade (see individual faculty procedures). The grade determined by means of a review will be recorded as the final official grade, regardless of whether it is the same as, higher than or lower than the original grade. Students considering a review request should note that examination papers graded E or F (and D in some faculties) are automatically read at least a second time before the grades are recorded. For that reason, an applicant who is eligible for a supplemental examination should prepare for the examination in case a change in grade is not available before the time of the supplemental examination. Requests for review or other consideration based on compassionate grounds such as illness are governed by separate regulations (see the entry Academic Concessions, page 35 and the entry Deferred Status, page 35). Grades for Term Work During the session, students who believe that a grade awarded for term work is unfair should discuss the matter informally with the instructor concerned. If discussion with the instructor fails to resolve the matter, the student may appeal directly to the Chair/Director or designate of the department or school. A grade point average is found by multiplying the grade point value of each final grade by the number of units, totalling the grade points for all the grades, and dividing the total grade points by the total number of units. See Duplicate and Mutually Exclusive Courses, page 31.
Numerical Scores
A department may allow instructors to use numerical scores, where appropriate, but each numerical score or mark must in the end be converted to a letter grade. Where a department authorizes the use of a numerical system in its courses, instructors are responsible for informing students of the relationship between the departmental numerical system and the University letter grade system.
Release of Grades
Instructors are permitted to release final grades informally to students in their classes, on request, as soon as the grades have been forwarded to Undergraduate Records by the school or department. Student records are confidential. Instructors may release grades only to the student concerned, unless they have the students permission to release the grades to a third party. Where grades are posted, only student numbers will be shown. Students are given the option at the beginning of a course to not have their grades posted. Students grades are available through My page <www.uvic.ca/mypage>. First-term results for full-year courses are released by instructors, not by Undergraduate Records.

Application for Graduation
The University Senate grants degrees in October and May each year prior to the awarding of degrees at convocation ceremonies in November and June, respectively. Candidates for a degree, diploma or certificate must submit a formal application for graduation when registering in the final Summer or Winter Session before their anticipated graduation. The application deadlines are July 1 for November convocation and December 1 for June convocation. Application forms for graduation are available from Undergraduate Records or at their website <registrar.uvic.ca>. Because of the delay in obtaining official transcripts, students completing their degree requirements at another institution during the second term of the Winter Session (JanuaryApril) are not eligible to graduate at June convocation. They must apply for a succeeding convocation. Please note that once a degree, diploma or certificate has been awarded by the University Senate, no changes can be made to the programs that constitute that credential nor can the degree, diploma or certificate be rescinded at the request of the student. For instance, a student may not undertake completion of additional course requirements to qualify for a different credential, such as adding a Minor program to an awarded degree or changing an awarded BA in Geography to a BSc degree in Geography, or changing an awarded BA Major to a BA Honours.

A student may be suspended or required to withdraw from the University at any time for failure to abide by the Universitys regulations. (For the regulations of individual faculties concerning mandatory withdrawal, refer to the Calendar entry for the faculty.)
Voluntary Withdrawal
An undergraduate student who after registration decides to withdraw from the University may benefit from discussing this decision with Undergraduate Records. Students are encouraged to visit Counselling Services to discuss their decision and their Faculty Advising Centre to discuss their academic status and prospects before dropping their courses online. Also, see Academic Concessions, page 35. Students in the Faculty of Law should speak with the Dean. Note: A sessional grade point average and academic standing are assigned at the end of the session and are based on final grades awarded (including N grades) in the session or term attended. Please see the calendar entry Minimum Sessional Grade Point Average and Academic Standing, page 38, for information regarding

U N dE Rg RAduAtE I N FORMAtiON Where the total number of students graduating in an academic unit (and, where applicable, in a degree type) in the Spring convocation is less than 20, the With Distinction designation is awarded on the basis of a 20% threshold GPA calculated including all units in the faculty. For students enrolled in a general, double or combined program (Honours and Major, Double Major, Combined Major, Joint Programs), the achievement of With Distinction in one program shall be sufficient for the award of the designation.
400 level (and in Education 700 level) courses (other than COM-graded courses) taken or challenged at UVic. Courses at the 500 level may be included in the graduating average if they are accepted as credit towards the undergraduate degree. A course which has been used to satisfy the requirements for one degree, or which has been used in the calculation of the students graduating average for one degree, cannot be used for credit towards another degree. With Distinction The notation With Distinction will appear on the degree parchment, the convocation program and the transcript for each student whose graduating average GPA is in the top 20% of those graduating in her or his academic unit (the 20% threshold GPA). The With Distinction designation is not available in the Faculty of Law, the Faculty of Graduate Studies or the Division of Continuing Studies. All graduating students in each academic unit those graduating in Honours, Major and General programs only are included in a single pool from which the 20% threshold GPA is calculated, and all are eligible for the With Distinction designation. Calculation of the 20% threshold GPA is made at the time that convocation lists are generated for the Spring convocation, except in the Faculty of Business where Fall Convocation is the basis for the 20% threshold GPA calculation. Students who graduate in a Fall convocation will be given the With Distinction designation if their graduating average GPA meets the 20% threshold GPA calculated for the previous Spring convocation; a separate 20% calculation is not normally performed, but the University reserves the right to conduct a separate calculation for Fall convocations. In the Faculty of Business, calculations for the 20% threshold GPA are made at the time that convocation lists are generated for the Fall convocation, and the same graduating average GPA shall normally be used for the subsequent Spring convocation. Students whose names are added to the convocation lists after they are generated will be given the With Distinction designation if their graduating average GPA is equal to or exceeds the 20% threshold GPA calculated either at the time of generation or (in the case of Fall convocations in faculties other than the Faculty of Business and Spring convocations in the Faculty of Business) carried forward from the previous convocation. In the Faculty of Education, calculations are performed separately for each of the following programs: a) BA Recreation and Health Education; b) BSc Kinesiology; c) BEd (Elementary Curriculum); d) BEd Elementary Post-Degree Professional Program; e) BEd (Secondary Curriculum); f) BEd Post-Degree Professional Program (Secondary); g) BEd Post-Degree Professional Program (Middle Years).
APPEaLS
Students who have grounds for believing themselves unjustly treated within the University are encouraged to seek all appropriate avenues of redress or appeal open to them.
Graduation Ceremonies
The formal conferral of degrees takes place at a convocation ceremony in the fall and spring each year. To qualify as candidates for graduation in the fall (November) convocation, students must have finished their UVic course work by the end of August. Students completing final requirements considered for fall convocation. To qualify as candidates for graduation in the spring (June) convocation, students must have completed their UVic course work by the end of April. Students completing final requirements in the May sequence of the Summer Session cannot be considered for spring convocation. Graduates become members of the Convocation of the University as soon as their degrees are granted by the Senate, which generally occurs several weeks before the convocation ceremony. Students who require proof of degree completion before degrees have been conferred by the Senate can obtain a letter from Undergraduate Records.
Academic Matters
Academic matters are the responsibility of course instructors, departments, faculties and the Senate. Depending on the nature of the academic matter of concern to the student, the order in which the student should normally try to resolve the matter is: first, the course instructor; second, the Chair of the department; third, the Dean of the faculty; and finally, the Senate. In addition, the student may wish to consult the UVSS Ombuds person (see Ombudsperson, page 18). A student seeking a formal review of an assigned grade should consult the regulations under Review of an Assigned Grade, page 38.
41
Petitions
Students whose circumstances are such that an academic regulation appears to cause them undue hardship are encouraged to consult their faculty advising centre or departmental Chair to determine whether the regulation is subject to waiver by the Dean of the faculty on petition by a student. The Deans decision in such matters is final, subject to review by the Senate Committee on Appeals on grounds of specific procedural error (see above).
Students are responsible for knowing in which courses they are registered. Students are required to formally drop courses, most often by using <www.uvic.ca/mypage>, rather than rely upon instructors to drop them due to non-attendance. Students waitlisted for courses are responsible for monitoring their registration status with both instructors and My page. Using My page, students should recheck their registration. The courses listed on the system are those for which the student will be assessed fees. Students are also responsible for determining their fees, either from the Calendar and any calendar supplements or through the UVic website (see address below). See also Duplicate and Mutually Exclusive Courses, page 31.
First-term overpayments and other credits in excess of term fees are applied to unpaid accounts or to the next term if a student is registered in the following term. Any remaining credit balance for a term is refunded on request. Tuition fees for credit courses are exempt from the Harmonized Sales Tax (HST), but HST may be required on other fees.
Fee Accounts
The fees for a term comprise: 1. full tuition for term courses taken that term 2. one half tuition for full year courses/programs taken that term 3. any other fees assessed for that term Statements of account are not mailed to students. Students may view their account balances at <www.uvic.ca/mypage>. Students unable to obtain their tuition fee information from My page may call 250-721-7032 or 1-800-663-5260. Proceeds of undergraduate awards received or granted by the University are credited to fee accounts.

Grants
Grants are non-repayable awards based on financial need as determined by the office or agency contributing the award. Grants are administered by Student Awards and Financial Aid. Grants are available for part-time students, for students with permanent disabilities and for students with dependents.
Loans
Loans are repayable and are based on financial need. Both the federal and provincial governments offer student loans. Only one application is needed to be considered for both types of loans. BC students apply to StudentAid BC both for BC student loans and for Canada Student Loans. An online application for StudentAid BC is available at <www.studentaidbc.ca>. Students must submit their loan applications by August 1 in order to have their loans processed in time to meet fee payment deadlines. To qualify for Canada Student Loans and most provincial student loans, students must be enrolled in at least 4.5 units for credit (3 units for students with a permanent disability), excluding duplicate and/or mutually exclusive course work, in each term of the Winter Session.
GENERaL REgULaTiONS
- Except where a donor directs otherwise, the proceeds of awards issued by or through the University are applied towards a students total fees for the academic year. If the financial aid a student receives exceeds this amount, the balance will be paid to the student. Proceeds from government loans and work study positions are paid directly to the student. - An award of financial aid may be withheld or cancelled if there is a lack of suitable candidates or a donor withdraws the award, or if the student receiving the award withdraws from UVic or fails to meet the terms and conditions of the award. - If for any reason the original recipient becomes ineligible for an award, the funds may be reassigned to other students. - Unless otherwise noted, all financial aid available through the University is limited to Canadian citizens and permanent residents.
Work Study
Work-study positions are subsidized jobs on campus, which are allocated on the basis of financial need. Work-study positions are administered by Student Awards and Financial Aid. To qualify for work-study, students apply to Student Awards and Financial Aid for a work-study authorization. The number of work-study positions is limited; eligible students are not guaranteed a placement. Final decisions on hiring are made by the project supervisors.
Financial Aid office and must have documentation of the disability filed with the Resource Centre for Students with a Disability. Except where the terms and conditions of an undergraduate award specifically state otherwise, award winners must normally return to UVic in the next Winter Session and enroll as a full-time student to receive the award. Deferral of an award for up to one year (except in the Faculty of Law, where up to two years may be permitted) may be granted on written request to Student Awards and Financial Aid. Students who enroll as a full-time student and subsequently withdraw from courses, so that they fall below 12 units may have the value of their award reduced accordingly if the value of the award exceeds their assessed fees. The University reserves the right to limit the amount of money awarded to any student, and, if necessary, to reassign awards to other students by reversion. Except where the donor directs otherwise, the proceeds of awards issued by or through the University will be applied towards the students assessed fees for the academic year. If the award a student receives exceeds this amount, the balance will be paid to the student if the student maintains full time registration. Other awards, such as medals or book prizes, if not presented directly by the donors or their agents, will be forwarded to the winners upon receipt. An award may be withheld or cancelled if there is a lack of suitable candidates or a donor withdraws the award, or if the student receiving the award withdraws from UVic or fails to meet the terms and conditions of the award.
Entrance Scholarships
A large number of entrance scholarships, with yearly values of between $250 and $6500, are offered to students entering UVic from secondary schools and Canadian colleges and universities. Detailed information about entrance awards and application procedures are available at the Student Awards and Financial Aid website: <registrar.uvic.ca/safa>.
Undergraduate Bursaries
Bursaries are non-repayable awards based on financial need and reasonable academic standing, as determined by the Senate Committee on Awards. Bursaries are available both for students entering UVic and for undergraduates already attending the University. Bursary applications are available from the Student Awards and Financial Aid website: <registrar.uvic.ca/safa>. - Entrance bursaries awarded by UVic require application by October 15, unless otherwise indicated in the award description. Entrance bursaries for students planning to study at UVic are also available through the University of British Columbia and other external organizations. - Bursaries for undergraduates attending UVic require application by October 15. A number of bursaries are awarded on the recommendation of Student Awards and Financial Aid and/or the students academic unit. Students should contact their faculty, school or department for information on nomination procedures. - To be eligible for a bursary, students must maintain registration in a minimum of 60% of a full course load (4.5 units or more) for credit in each term for which they receive a bursary. Students with a permanent disability must maintain registration in a minimum of 40% of a full course load (3.0 units or more) for credit in each term to qualify for bursary assistance.
Undergraduate Awards
Undergraduate students who attend UVic in the regular Winter Session are eligible for a number of awards made available through contributions from corporate and individual donors as well as from the University operating budget. The majority of these awards do not require application; they are assigned on the basis of merit or on nomination by departments. Others require application. Except where the terms and conditions of an undergraduate award specifically state otherwise, award winners must normally return to UVic in the next Winter Session and enrol as a full-time student.

AdMiSSiON
Admission, retention, and graduation requirements for Co-operative Education Programs are determined by the individual departments. Consult the calendar entries in these areas for further information. Students must apply to the appropriate department for admission to the Co-op Program. All students in the Co-operative Education Program are required to read, sign, and abide by the Terms and Conditions of Participation as articulated by their Co-op Program. In general, Co-op students are required to achieve an above-average academic standing, and to demonstrate the motivation and potential to pursue a professional career.
ous faculties and their Co-op programs. These credits may only be applied to completion of the work term requirement of an approved Co-op program. These work term credits may not be applied towards the graduation requirements for any degree or program except in fulfillment of the Co-op work term requirement as noted above.
WORK TERMS
As an integral component of Co-operative Education Programs, students are employed for a number of work terms, which are arranged and evaluated by the individual departments. Co-op program coordinators must review all potential Co-op positions and evaluate their suitability for work term credit. Coordinators may determine some positions as unsuitable. Work terms, normally of four months duration, begin in January, May, and September. Normally, the expected number of weeks per work term is 15 and the expected number of hours per week is 35. The minimum number of weeks per work term is 12 and the minimum number of hours per week is 35. Work terms generally alternate with full-time academic terms on campus, and provide productive and paid, full-time work experience that is related to the students program of studies and individual interests. In special circumstances, approval may be granted for a work term to be undertaken on a more flexible schedule, as long as it does not exceed eight months and the total time worked is equivalent to a four-month term of full-time work. Normally, students are expected to end their program on an academic term. In limited situations, students may be admitted on a provisional basis into a co-operative education program pending formal admission into the related academic program; such students may, with special authorization by the Executive Director, Co-operative Education, on the recommendation of the academic director responsible for admission to the academic program, undertake a first Co-op work term. In such cases, the Co-op work term will be recorded on the students transcript as COOP 001 and the program as COOP, and, if successfully completed, will be accepted as one of the required work terms for the students Co-op program. Students registered for work terms are considered to be enrolled in a full-time course of studies. 4.5 units of academic credit are awarded for each approved work term successfully completed according to the requirements of the vari-

After admission to the program, students are required to register for all Co-op work terms. 7. Work terms are normally of four months duration and alternate with academic terms. For continuous Co-op work experience of eight months or longer with the same employer, credit for more than one work term will only be granted if the requirements for an equivalent number of individual work terms are met. For example, the student must register for a second work term, pay additional tuition assessments, complete a second work term report and receive a second performance evaluation. Normally the second work term should also incorporate an increase in the students responsibilities at the work place. For programs requiring a minimum of four work terms, normally at least three of the required work experiences must be separated from each other by at least one academic term. 8. Work term reports are normally due during the first month following each work term, at a time established by the department, for evaluation as part of the assessment of the work term. 9. In the event of a work stoppage (e.g., strike, lay-off) within the first nine weeks of a work term, an attempt will be made to arrange an alternative work placement, to enable the student to complete the work term. If the work stoppage occurs after nine weeks, the work term will be accepted for credit providing all other work term requirements are met. 10. The transferability of work terms from other institutions which offer Co-op programs is determined by individual Co-op departments on the merits of each completed work term. The number of work terms accepted for transfer or combined transfer and challenge must be not more than 50% of the total number required for completion of the Co-op Program. Students enrolled in combined major degrees where a minimum of three work terms are required must complete at most two work terms in one department. 11. Students who are taking double or combined major degrees, or a major and the Professional Writing Minor (where each area offers a Co-op program) may, if eligible, enrol in and undertake work terms in both Co-op programs or may, if eligible, enrol in and undertake work terms in only one Co-op program. Students who complete at least two work terms in each area will have the combined nature of their program noted as part of the Co-op designation on their official records. Students enrolled in combined major degrees where a minimum of three work terms are required must complete no more than two work terms in one department. 12. To graduate from a Co-operative Education Program, students must complete satisfactorily the minimum number of work terms and maintain the academic standing required by individual departments. 13. Students registered for work terms are considered to be enrolled in a full-time course of studies and may not take university level credit courses without the permission of the appropriate department. Co-op students on a work term who wish to enrol in a course should contact their Co-op Coordinator. 14. Students enrolled in Co-op programs may be allowed to complete a 3 unit course commencing in September over a 16 or 20 month period, provided the department concerned consents. Students must obtain written permission from the department involved when registering in the course. In such cases, a temporary grade of CIC (Co-op Interrupted Course) will be entered into the students December transcript. The CIC grade is used only when a 3 unit course is interrupted by a work term. Unless there is formal withdrawal from the course, the temporary CIC grade will be changed to N (a failing grade) if the course is not completed within 20 months.

Studies in Education lead students toward an understanding of the nature of knowledge, its interpretations and how it is shared. Through individual and group work, instruction, and supervised experiences in the field, students in the Faculty develop their professional knowledge and skills as well as their ability to share their knowledge and experience. In this way, students learn how to be leaders not only in the classroom but in the community as well. Students in the Faculty may pursue bachelor programs in elementary or secondary education, Indigenous Language Revitalization, kinesiology or recreation and health education. The Faculty also offers graduate programs at the masters and doctoral levels.

Combined Programs in Computer Science and Mathematics, and Computer Science and Statistics
For a Combined BSc degree in Computer Science and Mathematics, or Computer Science and Statistics, students may take a Major or Honours Program. These programs are not joint degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics, but a single degree program composed of a selected combination of courses from each of the departments. Students opting for any of these combined programs are registered in the Faculty of Science and must contact the Computer Science and Mathematics and Statistics departments. Admission to the Combined Programs in Computer Science and Mathematics or Computer Science and Statistics Students who wish to be admitted to one of the Combined Honours Programs should apply in writing to the Honours Advisers of both departments on completion of their second year. Normally a student will be admitted to the Combined Honours program only if the student has: 1. completed CSC 110, 115, 106 or 212, 225, 230, and SENG 265 2. completed at least 10.5 units of the Mathematics and Statistics courses required for the degree 3. attained a grade of at least B+ in all 200-level Computer Science and SENG courses 4. attained a GPA of at least 6.5 in all 200-level Mathematics and Statistics courses Students may also be admitted to one of the Combined Honours Programs upon completion of their third year providing they have at least 4.5 units of 300/400 level credit from each department with a minimum GPA of 6.0 in all courses completed at the 300/400 level in the two departments. Combined Honours students are expected to maintain a GPA of at least 5.0 in their third year to remain in the program.

terms (two per academic year) and six work/ other terms. The academic terms are scheduled from September to December, January to April, and May to August. The schedule for academic terms and work/other terms is shown in the table Academic and Work/Other Term Schedule. Four of the six work/other terms are normally used to satisfy the co-operative education requirements of the particular degree program being completed by the student. The remaining two terms (8 months) may be used for other academic work (completion of an option or a Minor), gaining additional work experience, or any other activity. Please refer to the appropriate program entry for the course schedule for each academic term in a specific program. Any deviation from the academic and work/ other term schedule requires the written approval of the Dean of the Faculty. Each student in a BEng or BSEng degree program will be assigned to a graduating class, which at any point in time will determine the students current academic term or work/other term for the purposes of other regulations.

Examinations
Deferred Examinations - Where a student has been unable to write an examination owing to illness, family crisis or other similar circumstances, the faculty may authorize a deferred examination. - For academic regulations regarding deferred status, please see page 35 of the Calendar. - Requests for Academic Concessions for Extended Deferred Exams should normally be submitted prior to the scheduled exam and in no instance later than 10 working days after the scheduled date of the Deferred Exam. Supplemental Examinations - Students are eligible to write a supplemental examination in a course only if they have written a final examination and have received a final grade of E in the course. Students will be permitted to write the supplemental exam regardless of their academic standing in the BEng or BSEng program. - Supplemental examinations cover only the course work covered by written final examinations. - The supplemental examination grade replaces the grade of the course final examination and has the same weight as that of the final examination. A course with no final examination will have no supplemental examination. - Any passing grade in a course obtained as a result of a supplemental examination will be shown in the students academic record with a grade point value of 1, corresponding to a D, and will be taken into account in determining the students graduating average and standing at graduation, but will not affect the students sessional grade-point average. - Applications for supplemental examinations, accompanied by the required fees, must be received by the BEng Office by the dates indicated in table Supplemental Examination Dates and Deadlines. - Students will normally be notified whether their application has been accepted or refused within four weeks of the appropriate application deadline. Fee payments for rejected applications will be returned. - Supplemental examinations are scheduled by the faculty and only include CENG, ELEC, ENGR, MECH; and SENG courses offered by the Electrical and Computer Engineering department. - Apply for supplemental examinations at the Engineering Undergraduate Office (EUO).
Academic Performance
Grading The grading system used for the BEng and BSEng degree programs is the same as that specified by the University (see Grading, page 36). Academic Concessions A student whose academic performance is affected by injury, family or personal affliction, or illness may qualify for Academic Concessions (see Academic Concessions, page 35). Requests for academic concessions for Extended Deferred Exams should normally be submitted prior to the scheduled Deferred Exam and in no instance later than 10 working days after that date. Review of an Assigned Grade in BEng and BSEng Program Courses, Work Terms, and Work Term Modules Any request for a review of a final grade must normally reach the Deans office within 21 days after the release of assigned grades. The review of a final grade is restricted to grade components contributed by a final examination and to any other grade components released to the student within the last 21 days before the end of classes. In the case of a work term or work term module evaluation, the review will be restricted to the component on which a failing grade was assigned. The grade determined by means of a review will be recorded as the final official grade, regardless of whether it is identical to or higher or lower than the original grade. Before requesting a review, students should make every reasonable effort to discuss the assigned grade with the instructor. Mathematical marking errors will be rectified without recourse to the review procedures.

Course Challenges
The Faculty of Engineering does not offer course challenges.
Graduation Requirements
Students must meet the normal University Minimum Degree Requirements for Graduation on page 39, including a graduating average of at least 2.0, as well as: 1. Successful completion of the full set of courses specified for the degree program. 2. Successful completion of four work terms (as defined by the students registered program) as specified below. The graduating average of a student in the BEng or BSEng program will be the weighted average of the grade values (other than COM, N, F and E) assigned to 300- and 400-level courses taken or challenged at UVic and used within the students degree program. Courses taken at the 500 level may be included in the graduating average if they are used to meet degree requirements. If the total unit value of such courses does not exceed 30 units, then all such courses will be included in the average. If the total exceeds 30 units, then the average will be taken on a maximum of 30 units of such courses, chosen so as to give the highest average. In the case where those 30 units include a fraction of a course, then the calculation will be based on the 30 units plus the remaining fraction of that same course. A course that has been used to satisfy the requirements for one degree or in the calculation of the students graduating average for one degree cannot be used for credit towards another degree. Senior level courses used to complete a Minor in some other area are excluded from the graduating average computation.

months of attendance in the BEng, BSEng or CSC/Math programs at the University of Victoria. Complete documentation in accordance with University of Victoria guidelines must be submitted within four months after making the application. A student undertaking continuous Co-op work experience longer than four months must be registered in a separate work term for each 4 month period and may be granted credit for additional work terms provided the basic requirements for each individual work term are met. Additional work terms should incorporate increased responsibility. For any period of work beyond 4 months for which there are no additional registrations, the student will lose Co-op status and full-time standing at UVic.
Advance Credit
Students must pass four work terms in order to qualify for the BEng or BSEng Co-op degree. There are, however, several clearly defined situations where this requirement may be reduced by one or at most two work terms. Please note that the total work term credits/reductions that can be accumulated under this section is limited to a maximum of two. A student with extensive technical work experience completed prior to admission to the program may apply to challenge for credit one or two work terms.

The University regulations with respect to Cooperative Education Programs, page 46, are applicable to the BEng, BSEng and Computer Science/Math degree program students except to the extent that they are modified by regulations adopted by the BEng, BSEng or Computer Science/Math Co-op programs. The faculty and departments will endeavour to inform students who appear to be at risk of violating any of these requirements. Failure to do so, however, in no way obligates the faculty or the departments to waive a requirement at a later date. The Engineering and Computer Science/Math Co-op office is responsible for overseeing and evaluating work placements, and the assignment of the work term grades. Students must sign a current Terms and Conditions document as provided by the Engineering and Computer Science/Math Co-op Program in order to be eligible to participate in the placement process.

The requirements for a pass grade in a Co-op work term include: The Co-op programs satisfactory assessment of the work term, the employers satisfactory competency assessment of the student, the satisfactory completion of the final work term submission (such as work term report, competency assessment, log book) as submitted according to the deadlines defined by the Engineering and Computer Science/Math Coop Office. Students who are assigned a grade of F/X or N/X for a work term that carries 4.5 units will have a 0 grade point assigned for that work term; however, the grade is excluded from the calculations of all grade point averages (see Minimum Sessional Grade Point Average and Academic Standing, page 38). An appeal of an F/X or N/X grade awarded for a work term will only be considered if it is submitted within six months of completion of the work term.

FAcu Lty OF Fi N E ARtS ing jobs, families, and community responsibilities. While the diploma program may have some career benefits, its primary purpose affirms the traditional university value of learning for its own sake. Applicants must be admissible to the University of Victoria and have demonstrated interest in the fine arts. The Program offers students the opportunity to take selected courses from the Departments of History in Art, Music, Theatre, Visual Arts, and Writing, based on themes of study that are selected and approved at the time of application. A total of 15.0 units, made up of the core course FA 101 Creative Being (1.5 units), and elective courses from the Faculty of Fine Arts that enable the student to pursue themes of particular interest, are required for the Diploma. Up to 3.0 units of credit may be taken outside the Faculty of Fine Arts with the approval of the Associate Dean. As this program is primarily intended for students pursuing a personal rather than a professional interest in the arts, studio or performance courses are not normally emphasized. Students may apply to obtain up to 6.0 units of transfer credit to be used towards their Diploma for equivalent UVic courses, as long as the credits have not been used in a previous credential. Credit obtained within the Fine Arts Diploma Program may be transferable to a regular undergraduate degree program. However, such transferability of credit is always subject to the specific requirements of the degree program.

The Humanities, Fine Arts and Professional Writing Co-op Program is designed to provide students with an academic background as well as core- and discipline-specific competencies appropriate to a wide range of careers. Students who are taking double or combined major degrees, or a major and the Professional Writing Minor (where each area offers a Co-op program) may, if eligible, enrol in and undertake work terms in both Co-op programs or may, if eligible, enrol in and undertake work terms in only one Co-op program. Students who complete at least two work terms in each area will have the combined nature of their program noted as part of the Co-op designation on their official records. Students enrolled in combined major degrees where a minimum of three work terms are required must complete at most two work terms in one department. General regulations pertaining to Co-operative Education Programs of the University of Victoria are found on page 46. Students are advised that a Co-op Education Program tuition fee is charged.

FAcu Lty OF Fi N E ARtS Directing Production and Management Theatre History Normally, students must have a cumulative GPA of 5.0 (B) and a GPA of 6.0 (B+) in Theatre Courses to be admitted and advanced in any Specialist Option. Students are strongly advised to follow the prescribed course requirements for their year and chosen Specialist Option. Failure to complete electives and register for all corequisites in any given year may jeopardize students ability to complete their Specialist Option within four years. Specialist Option in Acting Students may enter the Option in Acting at the beginning of second year. Enrolment is limited. Admission is by audition only. Students are advanced into third and fourth year subject to an annual review. Students in this Option are required to complete 4.5 units of performance credit in THEA 229, 329 and 429. Normally, eligibility for performance credits will commence as students enter the Acting Specialist Option in Second Year. Specialist Option in Applied Theatre Students may indicate their intention to enter the Option of Applied Theatre in first year. The Applied Theatre program allies the art of the theatre with effective pedagogy to build upon the growing recognition of theatre as an educative methodology in matters of social, political, economic and therapeutic concerns. The program provides the theoretical and experiential foundations that will serve those who wish to examine the use of theatre forms as they apply to teaching and/or non-theatrical settings, such as cultural, recreation and community centres, historic and environmental sites, museums, prisons, hospitals, social service and health agencies. Students considering careers in elementary, middle or secondary schools are urged to consult with the Teacher Education Advising Centre early to plan their undergraduate programs. Specialist Option in Design Students may enter the Option in Design at the beginning of the third year. Specialist Option in Directing The Option in Directing is a preparatory program only. The foundation of its philosophy is that emerging directors must first secure a strong liberal arts education, as well as experience in all aspects of theatre production, before moving on to an in-depth study of directing. Students seeking entry into this option should secure the advice of the department on all required and elective courses before the end of their first year of study. Specialist Option in Production and Management Students may enter the Option in Production and Management at the beginning of the third year. Enrolment is limited; selection is by interview. Permission of the department is required. Specialist Option in Theatre History Students may enter the Option in Theatre History at the beginning of the third year.

ThEaTRE PROgRaMS
For Humanities, Fine Arts and Professional Writing Co-operative Education information, please see page 95. The Bachelor of Fine Arts in Theatre is an extensive program intended for students who wish to prepare for a career in professional, educational or community theatre or who wish to continue their studies in graduate or professional schools. The philosophy of the Theatre department is that the theatre should be studied in all its aspects and that it is best approached through a curriculum that leads to performance. Through all courses and productions, students are encouraged to focus on fundamental creative, interpretive, performative and technical skills as they study the historical, contemporary and educational theories and practices of the theatre arts. The department offers undergraduate students a choice between an Honours Program in Theatre History and a Theatre Major Program. In the latter program, students may select either a Specialist or a Comprehensive Option. A Co-op program is also available. Students will be required to take part in rehearsals and performances. No student may register in an evening course without the permission of the department.

Co-operative Education
Please refer to page 45 of the Calendar for the general description of Co-operative Education. The distinguishing feature of the Co-operative Education approach is the inclusion, as an integral part of the degree, of three work terms. Normally, the expected number of weeks per work term is 15 and the expected number of hours per week is 35. The minimum number of weeks per work term is 12 and the minimum number of hours per week is 35. These work terms begin after the students second year (all courses listed under first and second year must normally be completed before a student goes on a work term) and normally alternate with formal academic terms in Health Information Science. The granting of work term credit by challenge is not usually permitted. Students with a GPA below 3.5 in an academic term will not be eligible to participate in the next scheduled Co-op work term. Students must be officially registered for the work term by completing the Work Term Registration Form, provided by the School of Health Information Science office, by the end of the first month of the work term. Students not registered by that time will not receive credit for that work term. Students are expected to participate fully in the placement process. While every attempt will be made to ensure that all eligible students are placed, the School of Health Information Science is under no obligation to guarantee placement. Students who decline a valid Co-op job offer are ineligible to participate in the placement process for the remainder of that term. Work terms in Victoria are not guaranteed. Work Term Assessment The work term performance of each student will be assessed on the basis of: 1. the employers evaluation of the student 2. the submission of a work term report by the specified deadline as follows: Fall Work Term Report January 15* Spring Work Term Report May 15* Summer Work Term Report September 15* 3. an evaluation made by the coordinator based on discussion with the student and the employer *If the due date falls on a holiday or weekend, the report will be due the next business day. During work terms, students are employed in full-time, health care related jobs in either the public or private sector. For all practical purposes, Co-operative Education students on work terms are regular employees and receive salary and benefits in accordance with the employers policy. Both the employer and the University evaluate the students performance on each work term. Each work term is recorded on the students Official Transcript of Academic Record (as COM, N/X or F/X). Students registered for work terms are considered to be enrolled in a full-time course of studies and may not take university-level credit courses without the prior written approval of the Director.
Computer Science and Health Information Science Co-op Students admitted to the Combined Major Program in Health Information Science and Computer Science are required to take part in the Cooperative Education Program. In addition to completing their degree requirements, they must complete a minimum of three work terms with at most two in one department, and be enrolled in a minimum of six units of course work each campus term in order to graduate in this program. Work terms are to be distributed between the two programs, with no more than two work terms being taken in one program.

FAcu Lty OF H u MAN & SOciAL DEvE LOpM E Nt illness to health represents a deliberate move away from a medical model to an understanding of nurses work as focusing on people and their experiences with health and healing. Inherent in this orientation is the use of innovative teaching methodologies which encourage the development of critical thinking, discovery of personal meaning and empowerment. Another unique feature of this curriculum is the emphasis on practice experience as the foundation of nursing theory and the recognition that nurses work requires thoughtful, reflective action as defined by the concept of praxis. To assist in actualizing the concept of praxis, nursing practice experiences have been planned and integrated throughout the program of studies. The University of Victoria School of Nursing offers students two learning options, described below.

Please note that acceptance to and completion of the college portion of the program does not ensure a place in the University of Victoria School of Nursing; students are admitted to the program as resources permit in accordance with a selection process developed by the School of Nursing. Students continuing from program transfer partner institutions must: 1. Meet UVic admission requirements (including the UVic Academic Writing Requirement) when entering the School of Nursing at UVic. 2. Successfully complete all courses in Terms 1-5, and the two consolidated practice experiences, with a cumulative GPA equivalent to 3.0 (C+) on the UVic 9.0 point scale. (Please note that college and UVic GPAs may not be equivalent. UVic includes repeated and failed courses in the GPA calculation for all required term 1-5 courses, including the required English, Biology and elective courses). Students who fail any required course(s) in terms 1-5 must successfully repeat the course prior to acceptance to UVic. Students who fail a nursing practice course in terms 1-5 will be placed on nursing practice probation for the duration of their program at UVic. The privilege to repeat a failed nursing practice course is allowed only once in the program (Years 1 to 4). Admission to the BSN program is provisional pending receipt of two final official transcripts indicating satisfactory completion of term 5. For students applying midprogram from a program transfer partner institution, please see the entry Additional Requirements. 3. Complete a University of Victoria undergraduate application form. 4. Complete a School of Nursing application form. 5. Victoria on-campus students provide evidence of successful completion of a basic life support level-C course or higher. The certificate must be valid through completion of term six. (CPR certification is valid for two years beginning from the date of issue.) A valid CPR level-C certificate or higher must be maintained for the duration of the Nursing program.* Please note: Online certification or recertification will not be accepted for College-University Transfer BSN Program students. 6. Victoria on-campus students must be fittested before initial use of their personal respirators and annually thereafter while in the BSN program, and they must provide evidence of a personal respirator quantitative fit-test prior to attending any practice placement.* 7. All students entering the College-University Transfer BSN Program must have access to

expertise in the content area under study in the course, in consultation with appropriate external advice if necessary. Normally, only students who have been admitted to the BSN program can apply for PLA. Prior learning must be documented in a portfolio. Students are responsible for articulating their knowledge, skills, abilities and values based on documentation that provides evidence of learning. The portfolio should include: a) past work experience, volunteer experience, and non-formal learning activities b) a description of competencies, knowledge and skills in narrative form that will convey to the faculty member conducting the assessment that the student has the knowledge described in the course description c) documentation of competencies, knowledge and skills through such materials as transcripts, job descriptions, performance appraisals, samples of work, testimonials, awards, previous credentials, or other materials that document the learning that has occurred Initial inquiries should be directed to the School of Nursing, where application forms may be obtained. The PLA fee must be paid prior to the assessment. Once the application has been approved, the PLA fee is not refundable. Students who are requesting prior learning assessment are advised to consult with the Coordinator, Student Affairs, who will refer them to an appropriate faculty member. Students who successfully demonstrate prior learning will receive credit for the course specified, as well as a grade, using the same grading scheme that is used in similar courses offered on campus. The students academic record will reflect that the grade was obtained through PLA. No course whose equivalent already appears on a students transcript may be completed by PLA. A maximum of three units of academic credit may be obtained through PLA. Credit by PLA is specific to the School of Nursing BSN program and is not necessarily transferable to other programs or universities. Access to the assessment of prior learning is dependent upon availability of resources.

FAcu Lty OF H u MAN & SOciAL DEvE LOpM E Nt Practice courses, and the co-requisite theory course where applicable, in deferred status must be completed prior to starting a subsequent practice course. A student must pass both theory and practice co-requisites (e.g. NURS 350 & 351 and 430 & 431) in the same term to advance to the next academic session. If the student fails 431 or the theory co-requisite both courses must be completed again the next time they are offered. If a student fails 425 as a general elective they will be required to complete the course again and will be placed on faculty probation for the duration of the program. Students who fail this course a second time will be required to discuss their program with the Director of the School or designate, and may be required to withdraw. followed by the Dean of the Faculty, HSD, then the Senate Committee on Appeals

In addition to the above, the following School of Nursing practice regulations apply: 1. Where a student is enrolled in a Nursing Practice course (including NURS 345, 351, 370, 431, 470, 475, 491, 495) and there are reasonable grounds to believe that the conduct or lack of competence of a student enrolled in a nursing practice course has adversely affected or may adversely affect, those associated with the practice placement including: a) clients and/or their families; b) student peers; or c) health care professionals, agency volunteers or others in health related fields liaising with the UVic BSN program OR The student has breached the HSD Faculty Guidelines for Professional Conduct and Regulations Concerning Practica, the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) Code of Ethics for Registered Nurses or the College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia (CRNBC) professional and/or practice standards (or the equivalent in the province/territory/state in which the student practises), the course instructor may then: a) restrict activities of the student in the course in such a manner as the instructor deems appropriate and/or b) suspend the students continued participation in the course prior to the course end date and/or c) assign a failing grade (grade of F or N) to the students performance in the course and report the failure to the designated committee. 2. The School of Nursing designated committee will review a students enrolment in a nursing practice course (including review of practice appraisals) and/or the nursing degree program where: a) a failing grade (F or N) has been assigned to the students performance in a course; b) a report has been received that a student has breached the HSD Faculty Guidelines for Professional Conduct and the Regulations Concerning Practica, the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) Code of Ethics for Registered Nurses or the College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia (CRNBC) professional and/or practice standards (or the provincial/territorial or state equivalent where the students practicum is taking place). After receiving a written request from the student and giving the student an opportunity to be heard by telephone conference call, or in person, the designated committee may permit a student to retake a course in which a student has been assigned a failing grade (with or without additional requirements/conditions) OR require the student to withdraw from a nursing program in which the student is enrolled.
Agency Orientation/Instruction
If not already completed, or as mandated by the agency prior to or at the start of a practice experience, students must fulfill the requirements for staff orientation, and health records and medication management instruction.
Standing
All students must maintain a cumulative GPA of 3.0 and a grade of C or higher in any core nursing course or other required course to proceed through the program and graduate. Students who fall below this level will be required to discuss their program with the Director of the School or designate, and may be required to withdraw. Students who do not meet the minimum GPA standard required for progression in the School of Nursing may at the discretion of the Director or designate be placed on faculty probation. Normally, all students registered in any nursing practice course must pass each course before proceeding further through the program. Students may, with permission of the designated committee, repeat a failed nursing practice course and will be placed on nursing practice probation for the remainder of the program. The privilege to repeat a failed nursing practice course is allowed only once in the program (Years 1 to 4 for continuing students and years 3 and 4 for post-diploma students). (See also Professional Conduct and Student Progression, above). Students who have failed two practice courses in the program will be required to withdraw. All failed or incomplete course grades are permanently recorded on official transcripts, including notations of probationary status and requiredto-withdraw status. Students may follow the UVic appeal procedures regarding failed grades and required-to-withdraw status. The first step in any appeal is the Director, School of Nursing,
Practica Dates
The dates of practica will be established by each School or program, and will be announced to the students involved at the beginning of each term.
Attendance
Attendance at practicum activities is required. Students are expected to notify the placement agency whenever practicum appointments cannot be kept, and also to inform the course instructor. Failure to do so may result in a student being withdrawn from the practicum setting.

practice insurance, annually, for the duration of the program. Post-diploma students may complete practice requirements in their place of work during paid working hours if arrangements have been negotiated with the workplace according to School of Nursing guidelines. Appropriate documentation must be submitted to the School of Nursing prior to practice commencement. Contact the Practica Coordinator for further information and guidelines.
Immunizations
Many agencies require proof of current immunizations. All costs and responsibilities associated with this are the responsibility of the individual student and must be provided to the agency upon request.
Transfer Credit
Students may be permitted, with the approval of the Director or designate, to present up to 1.5 units of transfer credit from institutions other than the University of Victoria. Course work can be completed college or university level post-basic certificate/diploma programs and/or approved university-level nursing and/or nonnursing courses. Students are advised to ensure the acceptability of such courses by the School of Nursing before enrolling in them. Limitations of Credit for Post-Diploma Students Students accepted into the Post-Diploma BSN program who have completed post-basic professional training may be granted 1.5 units of credit for that professional training towards the Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. This is granted at the discretion of the Director or designate in consultation with Faculty within the department. Registered nurses who have taken post-basic nursing speciality programs are eligible for consideration for credit for a period of ten years from the date of completion. Additional criteria required to consider individual requests after this ten year period include confirmation that the applicant is currently working in the area of specialty (demonstrating continuing competency).
Oath of Confidentiality
Some agencies may require students to take an Oath of Confidentiality.
Practicing Registration (Post-Diploma students only) and Malpractice Insurance (Post-Diploma USA students only)
In addition to the above requirements, all postdiploma students must have active practising registration as a Registered Nurse or the equivalent registration for the jurisdiction in which they are undertaking their practice experience. Periodically, information provided by students will be checked. Please note that students studying outside of BC are required to submit verification of active practising registration to the School of Nursing annually. Students studying in the US must also provide proof of current mal-

Post-diploma students who do not meet the University of Victorias Academic Writing Requirement upon admission to the program are advised to register in 1.5 units of an AWR-designated course (ENGL 135, 146, 147, ENGR 110) during their first or second term of study in the program. Please consult the appropriate online timetable for registration information, or contact the School of Nursing Adviser. Early completion of the Academic Writing Requirement will facilitate writing academic papers. Students who have not satisfied the AWR by the time they have completed their second term of study will be ineligible for reauthorization and registration in future sessions until the requirement is satisfied. Completion of an AWR-designated course will satisfy the non-nursing elective requirement in the program, if needed. It is strongly recommended that all students admitted to the UVic post-diploma BSN program enroll in NURS 400 (Academic Writing for Nurses) within the first academic year of their program.

For all required practice courses and corequisite theory courses (NURS 350, 351, 370, 430, 431, 470, 475 and 491) all College-University Transfer BSN Program students will register in a single section for each course. The School of Nursing will then register students into multiple sections of the course at a later date, prior to the beginning of the term. The following factors are taken into consideration when students are placed in their section of the course: Students working in pairs and/or the same agency/unit will usually be in the same section. Usually an agency/unit will have the same instructor for all students placed there; instructor assignments are made by the School of Nursing in consultation with instructors. The School of Nursing also considers the variety of placements in seminar groups so that there is representation from different agencies in each group in order to enrich the learning environment.

GENERaL INFORMaTiON
The School of Public Health and Social Policy offers flexible undergraduate programming designed to provide students with a strong foundation for understanding the complex and dynamic relationships between people, health, illness and organizations in contemporary society. The BA program is designed as an inter-professional competency-based applied degree whereby students can assume support roles within the health and social services sectors providing indirect support for the delivery of high quality, evidence informed care in institutions (hospitals, residential care facilities) as well as community services (non-profit agencies, including local, provincial and federal government). Graduates of the program will have the necessary skills for entry-level positions within health and community services sectors. The Diploma in Aboriginal Health Leadership is designed at the third and fourth year level and focuses on professional development and career development opportunities for community members already in the work force, or who are considering a career in health administration or a related field. The program will develop community capacity in health administration and social service sectors and will provide excellent access to flexible post secondary community based education that may be accessed on a parttime basis. The Diploma will enhance working students professional skills, while preparing other students to enter the workforce directly or pursue further educational opportunities such as the BA in Health and Community Services.

GENERaL INFORMaTiON
Mission Statement
The emerging vision of the School of Social Work commits us to social justice and anti-racist, anti-oppressive social work practices, and to promoting critical enquiry that respects the diversity of knowing and being. Our educational mission is to prepare generalist social work practitioners skilled in critical self-reflection and in working with individuals, families, groups and communities. In particular, we endeavour to prepare Indigenous social workers and child welfare practitioners and we emphasize structural, feminist, Indigenous and anti-oppressive analyses. Our scholarly mission is to share and create collective knowledge and understanding through engaging in critical enquiry and by supporting research and innovative curriculum development at the undergraduate and graduate levels. Our practice mission is to act on social justice issues through community change initiatives and anti-oppressive social work. Our political and social responsibility is to participate in and reflect community experiences in all our efforts to challenge oppressive societal structures. In all our activities, we aspire to create a supportive environment that promotes equity, respect, responsibility, curiosity, collaboration, flexibility, risk taking and creativity. We support interdisciplinary collaboration. We seek to provide accessible and flexible social work education and we are committed to working across differences such as gender, age, race, ethnicity, class, ability and sexual orientation.

The Honours Program requires specialization in one or more disciplines in the last two or three years of a degree program and is intended for students of higher academic achievement. Students who plan to undertake graduate studies are strongly advised to follow an Honours Program.
FAcuLty OF HuMANitiES
With the joint approval of the departments concerned, a student may be permitted to meet the requirements for an Honours Program in each of two departments in the Faculty of Humanities. The degree received will be a BA, unless one of the two programs followed leads to a BSc in Linguistics, in which case the student will have the option of receiving a BA or a BSc degree, depending on which of the two programs is listed first.

Honours Program
The Honours Program allows students of proven ability to study English language and literature more intensively than is possible in the Major or General Programs. While enjoying a comprehensive course structure, Honours students also participate in special seminars and receive the guidance of individual faculty members in connection with ENGL 490 and 499. Students who take a special interest in English language or literature, or who are contemplating graduate work in English, are strongly advised to enrol in Honours rather than in the General or Major Program. An Honours degree requires a graduating GPA of at least 3.5 with at least B- in ENGL 499. Program Approval The programs of Honours students are subject to the approval of the Honours Program Adviser, and the choice of electives is subject to modification in light of the students entire program. Special counselling for students entering the Honours Program, as well as for those already enrolled in it, is available from the Adviser, who should be consulted as early as possible. Second Language Requirement English Honours students must demonstrate a reading knowledge of a language other than English by passing, with a grade of C or higher, 1.5 units of a 200-level language course. FRAN 180 and 300-level reading courses are also acceptable. Alternatively, a student who already has the required level of reading knowledge may fulfill the requirement by passing a special translation examination administered by the Department of English. Honours Program Requirement By the end of their second year, students must complete 6.0 units from the following list: - 1.5 units from ENGL 146, 147; - 3.0 units from ENGL 200A, 200B, 200C; - 1.5 additional units from ENGL 135, 146, 147, 200A, 200B, 200C, 201, 202, 203, 207, 208, 209.

Students are encouraged to take courses at universities in German-speaking countries; the department recognizes a broad variety of courses in German language, literature and cultural studies for transfer credit. The faculty regulation for the Major Program that at least 12 of the 15 units numbered 300 or 400 are required to be taken at UVic may be lowered to 9 units for students who complete at least 12 units of German courses at a university in a German-speaking country, or to 10.5 units for students who complete at least 7.5 units of German courses at a university in a German-speaking country, and who in either case have completed 3 units of 200-level courses at UVic. Students must obtain a Letter of Permission (see page 28) before undertaking studies at universities in German-speaking countries. To ensure that the transfer credit is granted for courses taken elsewhere, students MUST consult with the Advising Centre for the Faculties of Humanities, Science and Social Science BEFORE applying for a Letter of Permission. Co-operative Education Programs Please, see page 136.
Honours Program
The Honours Program provides qualified students of German the opportunity to study German Language, Literature and Culture more intensively than in other programs, develop advanced analytical competence and deepen their understanding. It also prepares students for graduate studies. Admission to the Honours Program requires a GPA of at least 5.5 in a minimum of 7.5 units of introductory courses (must include either GMST 260 or 261 with a minimum B+) and the permission of the department. Applications for admission are usually made at the end of the second year of studies; students interested in pursuing an Honours program in Germanic Studies should consult the department at an early stage in their undergraduate studies. The Honours Program requires a minimum of 21 units of upper-level courses, including either GMST 301 or 302, and 499. An Honours degree requires a graduating GPA of at least 3.5 and at least a B- in 499.

It is assumed that students following the General or Major Programs will be taking advanced courses in other departments. Students following an Honours Program with the Department of Greek and Roman Studies should note that it may be possible for them to complete an Honours program in another field if they have the joint consent of that department and the Department of Greek and Roman Studies. Students are welcome at any time to discuss their program with members of the department and are encouraged to do so in the first or second years of their studies. Many of the advanced courses in Greek and Roman Studies are open to second-year students, and a Major in Greek and Roman Studies may be completed in two years. Nevertheless, students are encouraged to plan their programs, since the lack of prerequisites may limit their choice of courses. Greek and Latin courses above the 100 level require prerequisites.

PROgRaM REQUiREMENTS
Honours Program
In the Honours Program, students have the opportunity to study history more independently and intensively than is normally possible in the Major and General Programs. Through the Honours Seminar that explores historical methodology (HIST 480) and the Honours Thesis, a research project normally based on primary sources (HIST 497), the Honours Program encourages students to think critically and to deepen their understanding of both the content and craft of history. A Third-Year Honours Essay (HIST 398) is optional. While the primary intent of the Honours Program is to help any interested and talented student of history achieve an excellent education in the liberal arts, the program should be especially useful for students contemplating graduate work in history or careers in senior secondary teaching, journalism, law, library science or government service. Admission to the Honours Program normally requires a minimum overall GPA of 6.0 as well as a minimum of 6.0 in 6 units of History courses, of which at least 3 units should be at the 100 or 200 level. These 6 units are not counted towards the 18 units of upper-level History required within the Honours Program. Application for admission to the Honours Program should normally be made in the spring, during the students second year, although a small number of third-year applications may also be accepted. In certain cases, applications may be accepted any time up to the beginning of a students fourth year. Honours candidates are required to have their program of courses approved by the Honours Adviser. To avoid overspecialization, Honours students must study more than one area of History and are strongly encouraged to take at least one course in pre-1800 history. An Honours degree requires a graduating GPA of at least 5.0 and a GPA of at least 5.0 in Honours courses (HIST 398 if taken, 480, 497). Candidates whose performance is unsatisfactory may be required to transfer from the Honours Program to the Major Program. Admission to the fourth-year Honours Program is conditional upon satisfactory performance in the third year.
Third- and Fourth-year Requirements

FAcu Lty OF H u MAN iti ES dents who wish to repeat a course at any level will be given lower priority than students taking the course for the first time. For admission to most language courses numbered 111, 121, or 131 or above, a minimum grade of B, or in some cases higher, in the prerequisite course is required. As language courses are limited to 25 students per section, the department reserves the right to rank students according to their grades for the prerequisite course. Students are warned that all Pacific and Asian Studies degree programs include a language requirement; students who fail to complete the language requirement will not be permitted to graduate in the program. Students who have completed any given level of courses in a language at UVic or through transfer credit will not be granted credit for subsequent courses at a lower level in the same language. Satisfaction of the Academic Writing Requirement is prerequisite to registration in all courses numbered 300 or higher. Placement Tests of Transfer Students Although transfer students may be given credit for language courses taken at their previous institution, they will not be guaranteed admittance to more advanced language courses in this department. Students who may be considered native speakers of Indonesian, Japanese or any form of Chinese should consult the statements on native speakers at the head of the course listings. Students who wish to continue their language studies should consult the department before registration and may be required to take a placement test to determine the level at which they should register. Transfer students who register in language courses without such consultation are advised that the departments policies concerning minimum grades in prerequisite courses apply to them; if they register for a language course without consulting the department they may be required to drop the course or transfer to a different level once classes begin. Transfer Credit Students are encouraged to study at Universities in the Asia Pacific region; the department recognizes a range of courses in language and other topics from these institutions for transfer credit. In specific circumstances, the faculty regulation for the Major Program that at least 12 of the 15 units numbered 300 or 400 are required to be taken at UVic may be lowered to 9 for students who complete at least 9 units at a university in the Asia-Pacific region. Students may apply for admission to the Honours Program in the spring term of their second year or in the fall term of their third year. Admission requires: 1. PAAS 100 (PACI 210 or 200A and 200B), PAAS 200 (PACI 290), any one of 300 (PACI 325), 301 (PACI 390), 302 (PACI 392), 400 (PACI 490A). A grade of at least B+ must be achieved in each course; 2. Written permission from a Pacific and Asian Studies faculty member willing to act as research adviser for the PAAS 499 essay; 3. Approval of the proposed program of courses by the Undergraduate Adviser. Continuation in the Honours Program requires maintenance of a GPA of at least 6.0 in all upperlevel PAAS courses.

(BA). The Womens Studies program examines the complex and fascinating ways power circulates through the lives of individuals and groups. Both teaching and research practices explore the meanings of analytical categories including gender, race, class, sexual orientation, age, ability, citizenship, and national identity. Womens Studies explores the ways these categories dynamically intersect to create a world with complex systems of inequities both within Canada and across the globe. Womens Studies scholarship uses diverse feminist theories to explore social structures, histories of ideas, and varieties of cultural production. Students interested in pursuing a program in Womens Studies should consult the department Chair or Student Adviser at an early stage in their undergraduate studies. See Declaring a Program, page 134 for more information. Students must have declared their Womens Studies program to be eligible for Womens Studies bursaries and scholarships. The Division of Continuing Studies offers nondegree courses on a variety of themes focusing on women. For more information, call Continuing Studies at 250-472-4747.

First-year students are required to attend the opening assembly in September when they will receive their course schedules and other information.

The faculty reserves the right to cancel the registration in a course of any student who fails to attend that course within seven calendar days of the commencement of the term, or of any student who is not able to demonstrate that all course prerequisites have been met. A student who for medical or compassionate reasons is unable to attend a course during the first seven calendar days of the term may apply to the Associate Dean Academic and Student Relations within that time to confirm registration in that course, and the Associate Dean may confirm the registration. The exceptions are LAW 106 and LAW 350A where, for pedagogical reasons, students must be in attendance for the entire course.
Changes in Registration
Courses may not be changed after the designated add/drop period at the start of each term without permission of the Associate Dean Academic and Student Relations. Failure to drop a course which a student does not intend to take will result in a failing grade. Please refer to the information under Fee Reductions, page 42, for dropped courses. Any student who after registration decides to drop all courses is withdrawing from the University and must notify the Associate Deans Office of the Faculty of Law in writing, which will in turn notify Records Services.

In addition to satisfying the above requirements, part-time students in second year or third year must satisfy the following requirements at the end of each academic session. In order to proceed to the next academic session, a part-time student must pass all of the courses in the students approved program for the academic session and attain a grade point average of at least 3.00 in the courses for the academic session.
PaRT-TiME STUdENTS
A student who is admitted as a part-time student may not become a full-time student until the student has achieved standing in first year. In order to continue as a part-time student after achieving standing in first year, a student must demonstrate to the faculty at the beginning of each academic session that he or she continues to be unable to attend on a full-time basis because of health reasons or physical disability, or exceptional family or financial hardship. A student who achieved standing in first year as a full-time student may apply to continue his or her studies as a part-time student. The faculty may allow a limited number of these students to enrol as part-time students upon being satisfied that a student is unable to continue as a fulltime student because of health reasons, physical disability, family or financial hardship.

General Information
DEgREES aNd PROgRaMS OFFEREd
The Faculty of Science comprises the Departments of Biochemistry and Microbiology, Biology, Chemistry, Mathematics and Statistics, and Physics and Astronomy, and the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences. Each department in the faculty offers programs of varying levels of specialization in one or more disciplines leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science (BSc): an Honours Program which involves a high level of specialization in a discipline and requires 18 to 36 units in that discipline at the 300 or 400 level a Major Program which requires less specialization, usually 15 units in a discipline at the 300 or 400 level a General Program which requires 9 units at the 300 or 400 level in each of two disciplines The disciplines in the faculty and the programs leading to the BSc are shown in the table below. Several of the disciplines may be taken in combination with each other. Details of the combinations offered are presented under the entries for the individual departments. Students can also combine a program in the Faculty of Science with a program offered in another faculty (see Interfaculty Program, page 169). The Faculty of Science does not offer a Bachelor of Arts degree. However, students may combine a Science program with a non-Science program in an Interfaculty BA. This interfaculty BA degree is awarded by the non-Science faculty. In most cases, it is possible for students to choose their courses for the first two years so that they can postpone to the end of second year their choice of the program they wish to follow.
Departmental Advising
Each academic department has advisers generally available throughout the year who can give advice about the courses and programs offered by their department. Students who are not in attendance at the University when they want advice from a department should contact the Chair of the department for an appointment before coming to the campus.
Transfer Advising
Students planning to transfer to another faculty or university from the UVic Faculty of Science should consult with advisers in the other faculty or university before they make their choice of courses in the Faculty of Science. Students planning to enter the Faculty of Education from the Faculty of Science should seek advice from the Education Advising Centre. Students planning to transfer to the Faculty of Engineering to complete a degree in Computer Science should seek advice from the Department of Computer Science.

conjunction with any Honours requirements specified by the departments concerned. In cases of plagiarism and cheating, the Faculty of Science reserves the right to recommend to Senate the withdrawal of the With Distinction (see page 40) designation in addition to the penalties outlined in the University Policy on Academic Integrity, page 32. Once a degree, diploma or certificate has been awarded by the University Senate, no change can be made to the programs that constitute that credential (see Application for Graduation, page 39).
DEcLaRiNg a PROgRaM
All students continuing in the faculty must declare a program by filing a Record of Degree Program (RDP) with the Academic Advising Centre prior to graduation. If a degree program has been chosen and program entry requirements satisfied, students may file an RDP once they have attained second-year standing (credit for at least 12 units of course work) and should do so once they have attained third-year standing (credit for at least 27 units of course work). The purpose of this RDP is to ensure that proposed courses will meet the requirements of the selected program. Any subsequent change to a declared program also must be filed with the Academic Advising Centre. Students who have not satisfied the University Academic Writing Requirement must do so before they declare their program. The RDP is approved in writing by the Academic Advising Centre and, in the case of students who wish to pursue an Honours Program, by the department(s) concerned. Students who satisfactorily complete the program of courses set out in the RDP with the required grades are normally recommended for the degree. Students who do not have an RDP approved, or who follow a program different from that set out in the approved RDP, may not be eligible to graduate. Note: Students should be aware that limitations may apply to proposed combinations of the following: concurrent degree programs, degree/diploma combinations and degree/minor options.

MiNOR PROgRaM
A Minor is an optional program that allows students to study in an area outside their Honours, Major or General Program areas. Requirements vary and are specified in the Minor requirements of the department concerned. Where not specified, the requirements for a Minor follow the requirements for the department General Program in one area only. No more than 3 units of the 300- and 400-level course work required for the Minor can be taken elsewhere, and at least 6 of the units required for the Minor must be completed at UVic. If the Minor requires 9 units of 300- and 400-level course work, these 9 units cannot form part of the 300- and 400-level department requirements for a students Honours or Major Program. Corequisite courses in other programs may be counted towards the Minor. If the Minor requires less than 9 units of 300and 400-level course work, no courses at the 300- or 400-level can form part of the requirements for a students Honours, Major or General Program or Option. Required or corequisite courses at the 200 level or higher in other programs or options may not be counted toward the Minor. Only one Minor can be declared on a students program.
BA in Mathematics or Statistics
Students who wish to obtain a BA in Mathematics or Statistics should register in either the Faculty of Humanities or the Faculty of Social Sciences, and complete the requirements common to all bachelors degrees in that faculty.

BiOLOgY PROgRaMS
Students have the opportunity to study Biology at one of the following levels of concentration: General, Minor, Major or Honours. BSc Honours and Major Programs are intended for those planning to become professional biologists. Both require a core of Biology courses, corequisite courses in the other sciences and a selection of upper-level courses suited to the interests of individual students. The Honours Program requires undergraduates to undertake a research project including the writing and defense of an Honours thesis. Students intending to pursue research or continue their studies for MSc or PhD degrees should consider the Honours Program. The distinctive character of BSc or BA General Programs is the variety of course options possible. Students in these programs may wish to combine a concentration in Biology with one in another science area (BSc) or an arts area (BA). Such interdisciplinary programs may be advantageous to students considering a postgraduate degree in the Health Sciences or Education.

FAcu Lty OF Sci E Nc E tion take BIOL 460 (1.0) and BIOL 499 (3.0) in their fourth year. Of the remaining 9 units to complete the 61 unit degree requirement, at least 3 units must be from an additional course(s) in Biology chosen in consultation with the department. Any prospective Honours students should first discuss proposed thesis research with a faculty member and obtain the members consent to serve as thesis supervisor. The student should then apply to the departmental Honours Adviser for admission to the Honours Program before May 1 in the third year of studies. However, applications will be accepted up to the end of fall registration in the fourth year of studies. The completed thesis will be examined by a small committee including the supervisor. Applicants should have and maintain a GPA of at least 6.0 in all department courses. A student who obtains a minimum GPA of 5.5 and a minimum grade of A- in BIOL 499, will receive an Honours in Biology. A student with a GPA of less than 5.5 will receive a Major in Biology, regardless of the grade obtained in BIOL 499. The submission date for the thesis is the last day of lectures. Proficiency in more than one language is often required in graduate studies. Students planning graduate work are encouraged to elect one or two language courses.

PROgRaM REQUiREMENTS
Notes on Course Requirements
- Biology 12 is normally required for entry into Major, Honours, General or Minor Programs. Students with Biology 11 only are required to take BIOL 150B to enter Majors, Honours or General Programs. - Major and Honours students are expected to participate fully in all aspects of laboratory work including handling live and preserved organisms. Laboratory work using animals is reviewed annually by the UVic Animal Care Committee and complies with guidelines established by the Canadian Council on Animal Care. Students who are unwilling to use animals and plants for educational purposes will not normally be able to complete a Major or Honours Program. The General Program provides an alternative for students in such a position. Students who have ethical or health concerns that interfere with normal program requirements should write to the Chair of the Biology department. This should be done at least six weeks before the beginning of the term in which the course of concern is being offered. - Students from outside the Department of Biology wanting to take BIOL courses are encouraged to take BIOL 150A and B or BIOL 190A and B, and as many as possible of BIOL 215, 225 and 230. Students who wish to take upper-level courses should contact the undergraduate adviser or instructor to determine which core courses are most suitable as prerequisites. - Students considering going on to professional schools (e.g., Medicine, Dentistry, Veterinary Science) should include the Science, Math and English courses that are prerequisite to entry into these professional programs. Three units of PHYS are required for most first-year preprofessional programs. Students contemplating entry into Medicine after the third year should consult with the department. - Students considering a teaching career are advised to consider the following programs: - for Senior Secondary level: a BSc Major or Honours - for Junior Secondary School and Elementary level: a BSc or BA General Program - for teacher certification: consult the Faculty of Education. - Because of the importance of biometrics in most biological work, students in Biology programs should consider taking additional STAT courses. - Students may be required to meet part of the expenses involved in required field trips. - The department does not offer supplemental examinations.

Notes on Course Requirements
- Courses may be taken in different sequences and in different years than those indicated provided the corequisite and prerequisite requirements are satisfied. However, students must be extremely careful in planning programs that differ from the normal sequence. Students who do not take CHEM 213 in the second year might find it difficult to complete their program in the normal time period. - Safety glasses or goggles must be worn by all students in laboratories. Chemistry department laboratory notebooks may be purchased in the University Bookstore. Credit for Previously Offered Courses Students with credit in the following courses which are no longer offered may make the specified substitutions in any undergraduate program: CHEM 235 for CHEM 232 CHEM 352 for CHEM 452 CHEM 353 for CHEM 453 Fourth-year Course Selection For up-to-date information on fourth-year course offerings, please see the Chemistry departments website at <www.chemistry.uvic.ca> or contact the department at <[email protected]>.
ChEMiSTRY PROgRaMS
The Department of Chemistry offers a variety of programs leading to the BSc degree. These are intended to provide students with the opportunity of undertaking either specialized studies in Chemistry, or a broader program with Chemistry as a focal point supplemented by other disciplines. These programs provide preparation for a wide range of careers requiring a background in Chemistry. The Honours and Major Programs are designed for those students wishing to embark on careers as professional chemists. In the Honours degree, a student undertakes an in-depth study of Chemistry with other supporting physical sciences. Each student will participate in a short research project in the final year of study. The Honours Program requires 30 units of Chemistry courses within a total of 60 units for the degree. Six units of Mathematics, 3 units of Physics, 1.5 units of Biochemistry, and 1.5 units of another science are corequisites. On graduation as a chemist, the candidate may either enter employment in a variety of industries or proceed to graduate school and the higher qualifications of MSc and PhD. The Major Program does not require a research project. The program therefore requires 27 units of Chemistry courses. Six units of Mathematics, 3 units of Physics, 1.5 units of Biochemistry, and 1.5 units of another science are corequisites. The degree is sufficiently specialized to present an attractive background in Chemistry to a prospective employer and to provide the opportunity for students maintaining high averages to continue to graduate school. Both the Honours and Major programs are suitable for students intending to enter a career in teaching at the secondary level. A student may complete a Minor in Chemistry by completing the first- and second-year requirements and the third-year Chemistry courses required for the General Program in Chemistry in conjunction with the requirements for an Honours or Major Program offered by another department (which need not be in the Faculty of Science).

2. Two consecutive work terms (totalling 8 months) may be included with permission. 3. Two of the work terms must be subsequent to the student passing all required 100- and 200-level chemistry courses and 3.0 units of third-year chemistry courses. Students who do not take CHEM 213 in the second year might find it difficult to complete their program in the normal time period. Each work term is recorded on the students academic record and transcript (as COM, N/X or F/X). Some employers keep work term reports confidential, but at least two work term reports must be evaluated as satisfactory by the department in order to complete the program. Students who are taking double or combined major degrees programs, who wish to participate in a combined Co-op program, should refer to the Faculty of Science Co-operative Education Program regulations found on page 169. Applications and further information about the Co-operative Education Program in Chemistry are available from the department or at <www. uvic.ca/chemcoop>.

PROgRaM REQUiREMENTS
1. Any student who has been awarded a UBCSFU-UVIC-UNBC Calculus Examination Certificate can receive credit for MATH 100 with the letter grade corresponding to the examination score. 2. Credit by course challenge is not offered. Any students who demonstrate to the department that they have mastered the material of a course may be granted advanced placement. For this purpose a score of 4 or 5 on the AP Calculus test will constitute mastery of MATH 100. 3. The prerequisite for MATH 100 is a minimum grade of B (>72%) in one of Principles of Mathematics 12, Pre-calculus 12, MATH 120 or equivalent; or a PASS on the MATH 100 pretest. The pretest will be given in the first week of classes each term. 4. All courses within the Department of Mathematics and Statistics which require a calculator will permit only the use of a specific department-selected calculator. Detailed information about calculator restrictions will be given at the beginning of these courses. 5. Students from outside British Columbia, transfer students from community colleges and students who have obtained credit for Grade XIII Mathematics must consult the department before enrolling in any Mathematics course. 6. All students taking a Major or Honours in Mathematics are strongly advised to take at least one University course in Physics.
Honours Programs
Students who wish to be admitted to an Honours Program in the department should apply in writing to the Chair of the department on completion of their second year. Normally a student will be admitted to the third year of an Honours Program in the department only if the student has achieved a GPA of at least 6.5 in the secondyear courses taken in the department. A student whose third-year work is not of Honours caliber may be required to withdraw from the program.

Computer Science and Mathematics, and Computer Science and Statistics Program Requirements
For a BSc degree in Combined Computer Science and Mathematics or Computer Science and Statistics, students may take a Major or Honours program. These programs are not joint degrees in Computer Science and Mathematics or Computer Science and Statistics, but a single degree program composed of selected courses from each of the departments. Students opting for any of these combined programs must contact the Computer Science and Mathematics and Statistics departments, and will be assigned an adviser from each of these departments. Students considering future graduate work in Computer Science, Mathematics or Statistics must consult with their advisers prior to making their final choice of courses.

corded on the students record and transcript. Work term credit by challenge, page 45, is permitted in the Physics and Astronomy Co-op Program. Honours students in the Co-operative Education Program are normally required to obtain credit for at least 7.5 units in each academic term, or 15 units in two successive academic terms which may be separated by a Work Term. The ninth academic term is not subject to this requirement. Students who are taking double or combined major degrees programs, who wish to participate in a combined Co-op program, should refer to the Faculty of Science Co-operative Education Program regulations found on page 169. A student may, at any time during an academic term, transfer from the Physics and Astronomy Co-operative Education Program to a regular Physics and Astronomy program. Applications and further information concerning the Co-operative Education Program in Physics and Astronomy may be obtained from the department or at <www.uvic.ca/physcoop>.

Departmental Advising
Each academic department has advisers generally available throughout the Winter Session who can give detailed information regarding courses and programs. During the summer months, students should contact the department concerned for an appointment. Students wishing to transfer into the faculty from other programs should consult the department they plan to enter regarding their transfer credit.

In addition, students should complete at UVic at least 18 of the 21 upper-level units required for all degree programs. may, with the approval of the faculty, impose stated time limits for a General or Major program that it offers. Students who have not completed their degree programs within five years of being classified as a third-year student must complete the program requirements specified five years or less prior to the completion of their degree. Honours degrees are normally completed within four years or, for students in the Co-operative Education Program, within five years. A student who wishes to take longer to complete an Honours Program should seek prior approval from the Chair(s) of the department(s) concerned. Approval is not automatic.
GRadUaTiON STaNdiNg
The graduation standing of students in the Faculty of Social Sciences is determined in accordance with the University regulations under Standing at Graduation, page 39. In cases of plagiarism and cheating, the Faculty of Social Sciences reserves the right to recommend to Senate the withdrawal of the With Distinction (see page 40) designation in addition to the penalties outlined in the University policy on academic integrity, page 32. Once a degree, diploma or certificate has been awarded by the University Senate, no change can be made to the programs that constitute that credential (see Application for Graduation, page 39).
DEcLaRiNg a PROgRaM
All students continuing in the faculty must declare a program by filing a Record of Degree Program (RDP) with the Academic Advising Centre prior to graduation. If a degree program has been chosen and program entry requirements satisfied, students may file an RDP once they have attained second-year standing (credit for at least 12 units of course work) and should do so once they have attained third-year standing (credit for at least 27 units of course work). The purpose of this RDP is to ensure that proposed courses will meet the requirements of the selected program. Any subsequent change to a declared program also must be filed with the Academic Advising Centre. Students who have not satisfied the University Academic Writing Requirement must do so before they declare their program. The RDP is approved in writing by the Academic Advising Centre and, in the case of students who wish to pursue an Honours Program, by the department(s) concerned. Students who satisfactorily complete the program of courses set out in the RDP with the required grades are normally recommended for the degree. Students who do not have an RDP approved, or who follow a program different from that set out in the approved RDP, may not be eligible to graduate. Note: Students should be aware that limitations may apply to proposed combinations of the following: concurrent degree programs, degree/diploma combinations and degree/minor options.
HONOURS PROgRaM
The Honours Program requires specialization in one or more disciplines in the last two or three years of a degree program and is intended for students of higher academic achievement. In some Social Science disciplines, an Honours Program is an excellent preparation for graduate studies. Students who plan to undertake

Interfaculty Program
A student may elect to complete an Interfaculty Double Major or a Joint Honours and Major Program. In a Double Major Program, if one of the two departments concerned offers both a BA Major Program and a BSc Major Program, the requirements of the program leading to the degree selected (BA or BSc) must be met in the department offering the option. In a Joint Honours and Major Program, the Honours Program will be listed first on the students Curriculum Advising and Program Planning (CAPP) form, and students will be subject to the regulations of the faculty in which they are registered. If one of the two departments concerned offers a BA Program while the other offers a BSc Program, the student will receive either a BA or a BSc depending on which is specified by the Honours Program. If the department offering the Major Program offers both a BA and a BSc program, the requirements of the program leading to the degree selected (BA or BSc) must be met in the department offering the option.
MajOR PROgRaM
The Major Program requires specialization in one discipline in the last two years of a degree program and may permit a student to proceed to graduate study if sufficiently high standing is obtained. The Major Program generally is also a good preparation for a professional or business career.
198
FAcu Lty OF SOciAL Sci E Nc ES No more than 3 units of the 300- and 400-level course work required for the Minor can be taken elsewhere, and at least 6 of the units required for the Minor must be completed at UVic. If the Minor requires 9 units of 300- and 400-level course work, these 9 units cannot form part of the 300- and 400-level department requirements for a students Honours or Major Program. Corequisite courses in other programs may be counted toward the Minor. If the Minor requires less than 9 units of 300and 400-level course work, no courses at the 300- or 400-level can form part of the requirements for a students Honours, Major or General Program or Option. Required or corequisite courses at the 200-level or higher in other programs or options may not be counted toward the Minor. Only one Minor can be declared on a students program. In addition to department Minors, the following Minors are offered: fields of business, industry, government, social services and the professions.
BA in Mathematics or Statistics
Students who wish to obtain a BA in Mathematics or Statistics and are registered in the Faculty of Social Sciences, must complete the requirements common to all bachelors degrees in the Faculty of Social Sciences.
GENERaL PROgRaM
The General Program provides students with the opportunity to study broadly in two disciplines in the last two years of a degree program. It is not intended to prepare students for graduate study, although some graduate schools may accept graduates of a General Program if they have achieved sufficiently high standing.

The statistics requirements, ECON 245 and 246, or equivalent, for Major or Honours programs must be completed by the end of third year. Completing these courses in the second year allows for a wider choice of courses in subsequent years. Although the department prefers and recommends ECON 245, STAT 260 can be substituted, provided the minimum grade requirements specified for ECON 245 are satisfied in STAT 260. Although the department prefers and recommends ECON 246, STAT 261 can be substituted, provided the minimum grade requirements specified for ECON 246 are satisfied in STAT 261. Students seeking admission to the BCom program should be aware that ECON 245 and 246 may be substituted for STAT 252 in satisfying the entry requirements for that program. Applicants to the BCom program who may be considering a major in Economics should take ECON 245 and 246 rather than STAT 252. STAT 252 cannot be used to satisfy the program requirements for Economics. Students should note Credit LimitBeginning Level Statistics Courses on page 31. 3. Students wishing to proceed to graduate studies in Economics are advised to include MATH 208, ECON 350, 351, 365, 366, 400, and 401 in their undergraduate program. 4. CSC 105 is intended primarily for students in Economics or the Business School. 5. ECON 225 is required for all programs in Economics. Satisfaction of the Academic Writing Requirement, page 29, is a prerequisite for 225. ECON 225 should normally be completed by the end of the second year and is a preor corequisite for many 300-level courses (including required courses ECON 313, 345 and 365) and all 400 level courses. Students satisfy the 225 course requirement if they have: i) received a minimum grade of B+ in ENGL 135, 146 or 147; or ii) passed ENGR 240. It is recommended that prospective Co-op and Honours students who satisfy the ECON 225 requirement with a minimum grade of B+ in ENGL 135, 146 or 147 take at least one course that has a major writing component, like ECON 410A or POLI 351.

Term Abroad
Students have the opportunity to spend a term, or a full academic year, abroad through an exchange program. The Department of Economics has student exchange arrangements with the City University of Hong Kong, Bocconi University (Italy), the University of Exeter (UK) and Nanyang Technology University (Singapore). These exchanges are restricted to students who have declared a degree program in Economics. The university has additional exchange agreements with institutions in 20 countries that are open to Economics students. For more information please see <web.uvic.ca/econ/undergraduate/ international_exchange.php>. Applications for all exchange programs are made through the International Office <www. iess.uvic.ca>. Interested students must contact the departments exchange coordinator as well as the International Office before applying for an exchange.
more units per term) who are proceeding to an Honours or Major program offered by the department. To be considered for admission to the program, students must normally have a minimum GPA of 4.5 overall as well as a minimum GPA of 4.5 in ECON 103, 104, 225, and 245 with a grade of not less than B- in any one of these courses. A grade of not less than B is required in one of CSC 105, 110, 111. A student who has taken ECON 203 and/or 204 must meet the grade requirements of those courses rather than of the corresponding introductory courses ECON 103 and/or 104. Students will satisfy the ECON 225 Economic Co-op requirement if they have received a B+ or higher in ENGL 135, 146 or 147. However, students may still want to take ECON 225, or ECON 410A and/or POLI 351, to improve their technical writing abilities. The department recommends that Economics Co-op students take courses like ECON 410A and/or POLI 351 before their 2nd Co-op term. These courses combine technical writing with policy analysis and provide skills that are highly valued by employers. Students should have technical writing abilities at least at the level of ECON 225 to be competitive in finding placements. Students interested in participating in the Co-op program should normally apply at the beginning of their second year of studies. Students planning to select the Co-op education option should plan to complete the prerequisite courses outlined above by no later than their third fulltime academic semester. Applications must be submitted to the Co-op office by the advertised deadlines in September and January. The first work term will normally start eight months after the application deadline. Work terms will alternate with study terms thereafter. To continue with the program, students must maintain a minimum GPA of 4.5 in Economics and 4.5 overall. To graduate with a Co-operative Education designation, students must satisfactorily complete three work terms. Each work term is recorded on the students official transcript of academic record (as COM, N/X or F/X). A student may withdraw from the Economics Co-op program and graduate with the Economics BA or BSc degree without the Co-op designation at any time during an academic term. Students who are taking double or combined major degrees, who wish to participate in a combined Co-op, should refer to Social Sciences Cooperative Education Programs, page 198. Work term credit by challenge, page 45, is permitted in the Economics Co-op program. Further information concerning the Economics Co-op program is available from the department and from the Co-operative Education office and at <www.uvic.ca/econcoop>.

for the General Program together with a Major or Honours Program in another department or faculty, students may obtain a Minor in Environmental Studies (see Minor Program, page 198). Students considering a Major, Minor or General Program in Environmental Studies must take the introductory course, ES 200 (Introduction to Environmental Studies), unless they have already completed ES 300A. It is suggested that students declare their intention to enrol in Environmental Studies by the end of their second year of study. Many eligible courses in Environmental Studies are 300 and 400 level with prerequisites; students should therefore plan early to incorporate these prerequisites into their schedule and should be aware of the minimum grade requirement for the programs: a B- in ES 200. When choosing electives, students are also encouraged to include courses in languages and in areas other than those in which the student is majoring; e.g., a student majoring in Sciences, should choose electives from the Social Sciences or Humanities.

PSYchOLOgY PROgRaMS
The Department of Psychology offers the following undergraduate programs of study: Honours, Major, General, Minor, Combined Biology and Psychology, and Combined Computer Science and Psychology. Students in the Honours and Major Programs may proceed to either a BA or BSc degree in Psychology. The Honours program is recommended for students planning to do graduate work in scientific or professional psychology. Graduation in the Honours program requires that students be admitted to the program at the end of the third year of study. The Major program requires specialization in Psychology in the last two years of the program, and is designed to permit students to pursue a variety of professional and business career options requiring baccalaureate-level training. The General program is available for students who seek a broad background in Psychology to prepare for entry into other fields. Please note: The Bachelors degree in Psychology is intended primarily to prepare the student for further advanced study in psychology or related fields (education, social work, etc.), and in no way implies professional competence as a psychologist without such advanced training. Although students may find employment of a psychological nature with an undergraduate degree, it is expected that further preparation, perhaps in the form of in-service training, will normally be required by employers.

Limitation of Enrolment
Students are advised that because of limited staff and facilities, it may be necessary to limit enrolment in certain courses. Course enrolment limits will be imposed during registration. Students will be admitted to Psychology courses on the basis of stated prerequisites and priorities. Students who have declared a psychology honours or major program may be granted preferential enrolment in 300- and 400-level psychology courses.

Notes on Course Requirements
1. First- and second-year students are encouraged to schedule courses required for their program (Core Requirements and Requirements Outside Psychology) prior to scheduling electives. 2. Students interested in the Major or General program should consult the Academic Advising Centre (University Centre A203) as early as possible. Once the Core Requirements are completed, and no later than their final term before achieving fourth-year standing (42 units completed), students must declare their Major in Psychology by filing a Record of Degree Program form with the Advising Centre. 3. Until the Core Requirements are satisfied, a student will be unable to register in PSYC 300A or 300B. 4. It is strongly recommended that students take PSYC 300A and 300B in consecutive terms and with the same instructor if possible.

These 7.5 units of 300- and 400-level PSYC must include at least one 400-level PSYC course other than PSYC 400A, 401, 490, or 499. Students who take PSYC 300A and 300B need an additional 7.5 units of upper-level psychology courses; students who take STAT 255 and 256 need a total of 10.5 units of upper-level Psychology courses. The following upper-level courses are suggested according to student interests: Artificial Intelligence: PSYC 311B, 317A, 317B, 323 (215A is a prerequisite), and related 400-level courses Human Factors and Computer-Human Interfaces: PSYC 311B, 317A, 317B, 334, 350 and related 400-level courses Video-Game Development: PSYC 311B, 335, 336, 339, 340 and related 400-level courses 4. One of these CSC 400 level courses may be replaced by a SENG 400 level course. 5. Students in this combined program who wish to participate in the Co-op Program must be accepted by the Co-op Programs of both Computer Science and Psychology. They must complete two work terms in each Co-op program in order to complete their Co-op degree requirements. Should the admission and graduation requirements vary in the two program areas, students must meet the lower GPA requirement. 6. Students choosing Computer-Human Interface courses in Psychology should enrol in SENG 310. All other students should enrol in CSC 320.

PROgRaM REQUiREMENTS
Requirements Common to all Sociology Programs
Students should read carefully the information for the Faculty of Social Sciences, especially the Faculty Program Requirements, page 196. SOCI 100A and 100B are required for all Sociology programs and should normally be taken in the first year. Although SOCI 100A and 100B may be taken in any order or concurrently, we recommend students first enroll in 100A. SOCI 210 and 211 are also required in all programs, and are normally taken in the second year. Students must also complete a 1.5 unit universitylevel English or Writing course (excluding ENGL 101), with a C+ or higher, before they are allowed to declare a Major or Minor program in Sociology. We recommend ENGL 135.

SOciOLOgY PROgRaMS
The department offers Honours, Major, General and Minor programs leading to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Students interested in any of these programs are urged to consult the departmental Undergraduate Adviser as early as possible. The Honours program is recommended for students planning to do graduate work in Sociology. The Major program permits students to pursue a variety of career options requiring baccalaureate-level training that require a specialization in Sociology. The General and Minor programs provide maximum flexibility in selection of courses in Sociology, but do not provide extensive coursework in methodology and theory. Students in the Major or Honours programs may also elect to add a concentration in either Health and Aging, or Social Justice and Social Change. Students with questions about the departments programs or courses may arrange to meet with a Sociology Undergraduate Adviser through the Sociology General Office in Cornett A333. Arrangements to meet with the Sociology Honours Adviser may also be made through the Sociology General Office. Students seeking general academic advice may arrange to meet with an Academic Adviser at the
SOCI 100A, 100B SOCI 210, 211 Plus 9.0 additional units in Sociology numbered 300 and above. Area Clusters in Sociology Students are provided the option of tailoring their Major, Honours, or General program around one (or more) of the following six area clusters: 1) Family and Demography; 2) Health, Aging and the Life Course; 3) Crime, Law and Social Control; 4) Social Justice, Politics and Class; 5) Gender, Sexuality and the Body; and/or 6) Global Studies and Social Change. Area clusters are designed to allow students to tailor their program to specific learning objectives and to acquire strong sociological literacy and empirical skills in selected areas of specialization. It is strongly recommended that Sociology Majors consider specializing in one or more cluster areas. Each area cluster is anchored by a core course at the 200-level, sequentially linked to more specialized 300-level and 400-level courses. It is strongly recommended that students proceed through clusters in a sequential manner (i.e., take the 200-level course first, followed by the 300-level courses, and conclude with the 400-level course). Area clusters provide students with cumulative learning opportunities; upperlevel courses assume a working knowledge of lower-level courses. Area clusters also offer flexibility for students to design their own learning plan. It is possible to specialize in more than one cluster without completing all courses in a given cluster, and to combine courses across several clusters to suit learning goals.

Quantitative Considerations
For applicants in each admission category, the GPA evaluation will form 60% of the admission decision. Applicants to Year 2 and Year 3 who meet the minimum requirements will be rated within their applicant groups on this criterion based on weighting equally their most recent 15unit GPA as calculated by Gustavson with their GPA in Pre-Commerce required course work.
Qualitative Considerations
An evaluation of qualitative considerations will form 40% of the admission decision. Gustavson recognizes that many different factors contribute to a persons chances of success in business. Applicants are therefore required to submit information on their application/resum forms outlining experiences and attributes which they feel indicate their suitability for the Bachelor of Commerce program.
LETTERS OF PERMiSSiON
Students in Gustavson who are planning to take a course at another institution are required to contact the Business Student Services Office for letters of permission before enrolling in the course. If permission is granted by the School of Business, a minimum grade of C in Commerce courses is required for transfer credit. Students may take a maximum of two 1.5 unit open commerce elective courses by letter of permission for credit in the Bachelor of Commerce degree program.
COURSE REgiSTRaTiON
Students are admitted to the BCom program, not to particular areas of specialization. Space may be limited in specific areas of specialization outside the Commerce core. Students will be required to declare their specialization by the end of the first academic term in the BCom core. Students are expected to have met all prerequisites for Commerce courses. A passing grade is acceptable for prerequisite purposes, unless a higher grade is called for in the course description. It is expected that students will complete a full course load each academic term (7.5 units). It is intended that students will progress through the BCom program core in a designated cohort group. Students who withdraw from or receive a failing grade of F in a course listed within the Commerce core or a course required for their chosen specialization must repeat that course during the next academic term in which it is offered. Students who receive a failing grade of E in a core course may apply for a supplemental exam (see Supplemental Exam regulations under the
222
PEtE R B. G uStAvSON SchOOL OF BuSi N ESS No applications for supplemental exams will be accepted past these deadlines. Students will normally be notified of whether their application has been accepted or refused within approximately three weeks of the appropriate application deadline. Fee payments will normally be returned to students only in the case of rejected applications. The Gustavson School of Business schedules supplemental examinations.
appropriate section below). Students who do not apply for a supplemental exam by the published deadline will be considered to have failed the course, the opportunity to apply for a supplemental is rescinded, and the student must repeat the course in the next academic term that the course is offered.
SUPPLEMENTaL EXaMS
Supplemental examination privileges in Bachelor of Commerce core courses are granted to students who have a satisfactory standing in the program. Satisfactory standing for the purpose of supplemental examinations is defined as achieving the minimum academic standard of 3.0 in their most recent academic term. The maximum number of units of supplemental examinations allowed for any one student is normally three during their Bachelor of Commerce degree program. In addition, students may not apply for more than ONE supplemental examination during a given academic term. Students must apply in writing for permission to write a supplemental examination. Students are eligible to take the supplemental examination in a course only if they have completed all the course work, written the final examination and received a grade of E in the course. Supplemental examinations cover only the course work covered by the written final examinations - they will not compensate for, or replace, project or assignment grades. If there was no written final examination in the course, or if a student did not have a passing grade on the course elements exclusive of the final exam, the student will not be eligible for the supplemental examination. A passing grade obtained on a supplemental examination will be shown on the students academic record with a grade point value of 1, corresponding to a D, and will be included as such in the calculation of the GPA for review of academic performance at the University and in determining the students graduating average and standing at graduation. However, for the purpose of academic review and standing within the faculty, the actual grade received on the supplemental examination, together with the E grade that gave rise to the supplemental examination, will be used. A student who fails to pass a specific course after a supplemental examination must repeat the course or replace it with an alternative course approved by the Director of the Bachelor of Commerce program. The fee for each supplemental examination is $45.00. In certain unique situations, students may apply for an off-campus supplemental examination. The testing locations for off-campus supplemental examinations outside British Columbia are restricted to universities and colleges, and the fee for an off-campus supplemental examination is $55.00. The Bachelor of Commerce program office must receive applications for supplemental examinations, accompanied by the necessary fees, by the following dates: for courses taken during the September-December term: January 15 for courses taken during the January-April term: May 15 for courses taken during the May-August term: September 15
WaiTLiSTiNg
Normally, students have the option of being added to a waitlist for a class if the course enrolment is at its maximum; however, some exceptions do apply. Gustavson will accommodate students from a waitlist as spaces in the class become available, and the registration system will notify students via their UVic email address. Students must drop themselves from waitlisted classes where the class is no longer wanted or needed during that term. Students waitlisted for courses are responsible for monitoring their registration status through the registration system (My page). Students should check their course registration on the last day of the 100% fee reduction period in each term to avoid being assessed unneccesary tuition fees. The school reserves the right to establish its own criteria for priority registration in courses and sections.
LEaVE OF ABSENcE
Students must apply in writing to their academic adviser for a leave of absence. Unless given written permission by Gustavson to take a leave of absence, students who do not re-register will be considered to have withdrawn. Students on leave of absence are considered outside the program and will not be granted work term credit or academic course credit for experience gained during the leave.
COURSE ChaLLENgES
The Gustavson School of Business does not accept course challenges.
GRadUaTiON REQUiREMENTS

EXaMiNaTiONS
The final exam period for each academic term is available online. Students are advised to consult the online exam schedules before making arrangements for their personal schedules. It is the responsibility of all students to be present for the exam period for both midterms and finals. Gustavson is not responsible for conflicts between the final exam schedule and personal schedules of students. Requests to write an exam on a day other than the date designated by the official exam schedule will not be entertained. For academic regulations regarding deferred exams, please see page 35 of the Calendar. Commerce courses with more than one section may have a common midterm exam scheduled by Gustavson. Students will be advised of the times and dates of the exams by Gustavson and may be expected to attend midterm exams outside the regular class schedule which may included Saturdays.

Students should be prepared to spend at least one work term outside the greater Victoria area. The Business Co-op Program reserves the right to approve any employer that provides placements for students and to withdraw a student from any placement assigned to a student. The student, however, has the right to be informed in writing of the reasons for any withdrawal and can follow the student appeal procedures as outlined in the Co-operative Education Program section, page 46. Students may not withdraw from a placement without approval from a Coordinator. Failure to obtain permission will result in the student receiving a grade of N/X on the work term. Students must be officially registered for the work term by completing the Work Term Registration Form, which is provided by the Business Co-op office, and providing any other required documentation by the end of the first month of the work term.

A student with a recognized Co-op work term from another accredited post-secondary institution may apply for transfer credit. Students must apply in writing for work term transfer credit within the first 60 days of their initial academic term within the BCom program, identifying the program and work term for which they would like credit. A transcript may be required. Business students may be admitted into the Business Co-operative Education Program in their second year and complete their first Co-op work term in the summer before commencing third year Commerce courses Students registered for work terms are considered to be enrolled in a full-time course of studies and may not take university level credit courses while on a work term. Under extraordinary circumstances, students may submit, in writing to the BCom Director, Undergraduate Programs, a request to register in a maximum of 1.5 units of university level course credit. If a student is on probation then no units of credit will be allowed during the work term. Students are reminded of their responsibility to maintain the minimum academic performance required by Gustavson (see Review of Academic Performance, page 222). Students with a GPA below 3.0 in an academic term will not be eligible to participate in the next scheduled Co-op work term. Students should not expect to complete all their work terms in the summer months, nor should they expect to complete their BCom program on a work term or series of work terms. In certain cases, a student will be permitted to end the program on a Co-op work-term to satisfy the BCom Co-op work term requirements if the Program scheduling would otherwise unduly prolong a students program completion. All decisions regarding the eligibility of a student to complete their program on a Co-op term will be made at the discretion of the Gustavson School of Business. Students must sign a current Terms and Conditions document as provided by the Business Coop Program in order to be eligible to participate in the placement process. The Co-op Preparation Course is a mandatory requirement for business students. This program is a corequisite for students participating in the placement process prior to their first work term. Students will be provided more information regarding the Co-op Preparation Program, its curriculum, and the requirements for completion upon admission to the BCom program. Students are expected to participate fully in the placement process. While every attempt will be

Language Course Restriction Students who have completed courses in a language at UVic or through transfer credit will not be granted credit for subsequent courses at a lower level in the same language. Chinese Language Courses: The department takes two criteria into account in considering advanced placement for students entering Chinese language courses at the University. One of these is competence in spoken Modern Standard Chinese (Mandarin); the other is ability to read and write the Chinese script. For purposes of course placement, the department normally defines native speakers as those who are native speakers of any of these languages and who are also able to read at least simple materials (i.e., at the middle school level) written in the Chinese script. Native speakers who lack a good foundation in spoken Mandarin or whose reading ability in Chinese is not equivalent to that of a high school graduate should register in PAAS 212 or 313; others should register in PAAS 410. Students whose ability to read and write Chinese is limited but who have some experience in spoken Mandarin, including those with high school credit in Mandarin, should consult the department about advanced placement. Students who register in Chinese language courses without such consultation may be required to transfer to different courses at the departments discretion. Note that students who have passed the provincial examination in Mandarin 12 may not register in PAAS 110 or 111. Indonesian and Japanese Language Courses:

The University of Victoria acknowledges with respect the history, customs and culture of the Coast Salish and Straits Salish peoples on whose traditional lands the university resides. Ceremonial Furnishings
The Chancellors chair and ceremonial furnishings used at Convocation are the generous gift of the late Dr. Michael C. Williams. They constitute five magnificent works of art, created through a collaboration among twelve West Coast artists. Roberta Louis, weaver, and Susan Point, carver, both Coast Salish of the Musqueam Band, with artist Glen Tallio (Nuxalk), created the kneeling stool. Carvers Art Thompson (Nuu-chah-nulth), Calvin Hunt (Kwagiulth), Norman Tait (Nisgaa), John Livingston (adopted Kwagiulth), and Don Yeomans (Haida) collaborated with weavers Ann Smith (Tutchone-Tlingit) and Cheryl Samuel (adopted Tlingit) on the Chancellors chair itself. The Chief Speakers staff was designed and carved by Kwagiulth artist, Richard Hunt. The kneeling figure mace stand was sculpted by Tom Hunt (Kwagiulth). The raven lectern is also the work of John Livingston. The furnishings were completed in 1994. Their style and imagery draw on the myths and artistic traditions of the Northwest Coast Aboriginal nations, home communities to many University of Victoria students.

Historical Outline
The University of Victoria came into being on July 1, 1963, but it had enjoyed a prior tradition as Victoria College of sixty years distinguished teaching at the university level. This sixty years of history may be viewed conveniently in three distinct stages. Between the years 1903 and 1915, Victoria College was affiliated with McGill University, offering first- and second-year McGill courses in Arts and Science. Administered locally by the Victoria School Board, the College was an adjunct to Victoria High School and shared its facilities. Both institutions were under the direction of a single Principal: E.B. Paul, 1903-1908; and S.J. Willis, 1908-1915. The opening in 1915 of the University of British Columbia, established by Act of Legislature in 1908, obliged the College to suspend operations in higher education in Victoria. In 1920, as a result of local demands, Victoria College began the second stage of its development, reborn in affiliation with the University of British Columbia. Though still administered by the Victoria School Board, the College was now completely separated from Victoria High School, moving in 1921 into the magnificent Dunsmuir mansion known as Craigdarroch. Here, under Principals E.B. Paul and P.H. Elliott, Victoria College built a reputation over the next two decades for thorough and scholarly instruction in first- and second-year Arts and Science. The final stage, between the years 1945 and 1963, saw the transition from two year college to university, under Principals J.M. Ewing and W.H. Hickman. During this period, the College was governed by the Victoria College Council, representative of the parent University of British Columbia, the Greater Victoria School Board, and the provincial Department of Education. Physical changes were many. In 1946 the College was forced by postwar enrolment to move from Craigdarroch to the Lansdowne campus of the Provincial Normal School. The Normal School, itself an institution with a long and honourable history, joined Victoria College in 1956 as its Faculty of Education. Late in this transitional period (through the co-operation of the Department of National Defence and the Hudsons Bay Company) the 284 (now 385) acre campus at Gordon Head was acquired. Academic expansion was rapid after 1956, until in 1961 the College, still in affiliation with UBC awarded its first bachelors degrees. In granting autonomy to the University of Victoria, the University Act of 1963 vested administrative authority in a Chancellor elected by the Convocation of the University, a Board of Governors, and a President appointed by the Board; academic authority was given to a Senate which was representative both of the faculties and of the Convocation.
