Senate Agenda, September 22, 2000 - EXHIBIT III
FOR APPROVAL
Recommended: That effective September 1, 2000, in the Faculty of Health Sciences, the progression requirement for students in the BSc(PT) program in Physical Therapy be revised from a 60% average in each year of the program to 70%, and that students be considered to have failed a complete year's work if, in that year, they do not obtain at least a 70% average.
REVISED CALENDAR COPY
Academic Regulations
Progression in the program will be based on each year's achievement, the minimum for which is: an
overall course average of 60% 70%, with a mark of at least 60% in each principal course (physical
therapy subjects), and satisfactory clinical performance (as outlined in the Guidelines for Clinical
Placements); 80% attendance at lecture and laboratory courses and 100% attendance in clinical
placements. Students whose work is unsatisfactory or who fail to meet attendance requirements retain
the right to sit for examinations but may be denied a grade on such examinations.
Tests, assignments and practical work, as well as performance in final examinations will constitute the final mark in each course.
* *
Failed Year
Students will be considered to have failed a complete year's work if, in that year, they:
A course may be of one-half or one full credit. Withdrawal from the program is mandatory for students who have failed a complete year's work.
Background:
Physical Therapy has found that a student's average is an indicator both of the student's overall academic performance for the year and of whether the student possesses the academic background necessary for clinical placements. Upon reviewing Physical Therapy students over the last four years, it has become apparent that the majority of students with less than 70% overall average on their academic courses have had difficulties in clinical placements and/or academic courses taken in future years of the Physical Therapy program.
Raising the minimum yearly average to 70% would bring the progression requirements in the Physical Therapy program in line with other professional programs in the Faculty of Health Sciences (BSc in Communication Sciences & Disorders) and is consistent with progression requirements of other honors or specialization programs at UWO (BA and BSc in Honors Kinesiology).
a) Terms of Affiliation Agreement: UWO, Brescia College, Huron University College, King's College
Recommended: That Senate approve and recommend to the Board of Governors through the Vice-Chancellor, that the Affiliation Agreement for The University of Western Ontario and Brescia College, Huron University College and King's College be revised to include reference to the new Master of Theological Studies program at St. Peter's Seminary, as shown below:

Background:
These revisions are essentially housekeeping matters. The current Affiliation Agreement can be viewed at http://www.uwo.ca/univsec/handbook/general/affils.html
Recommended: That the examination policy for instructions for candidates during examinations be amended to prohibit the use of any communication equipment:
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CANDIDATES DURING EXAMINATIONS
Candidates are responsible for arriving at the examination room on time with adequate supplies (pens, pencils, erasers, calculators, current I.D. card) and may be admitted five minutes before the beginning of the examination. Upon entering the examination room, candidates will refrain from talking to or communicating with other candidates. Candidates will read any posted instructions concerning seating and other arrangements within the examination room. Candidates must place their I.D. card on the left corner of the desk.
No candidate may leave the examination room during the first thirty minutes of the examination.
Candidates must sign the nominal roll which will be circulated by the proctor during the first thirty minutes of the examination.
Candidates arriving later than thirty minutes after the commencement of the examination will not be allowed to write the examination. Under such circumstances, candidates should proceed to the dean of their faculty for instructions. In the case of evening or Saturday examinations, candidates should proceed to the Office of the Registrar for instructions.
Candidates prevented from writing an examination by circumstances such as illness, or death in the family, shall submit a written petition to the dean of their faculty. A petition made because of illness should be accompanied by a medical certificate stating the time and duration of the illness; a petition for other reasons should be supported by evidence from a responsible person acquainted with the circumstances.
Candidates are forbidden to give information or to receive it from any other candidate or person, other than an examination proctor, during the examination.
Candidates will not make use of any books, notes, diagrams, communication equipment or other aids, unless authorized by the examiner, such authorization being clearly stated on the question paper. Candidates who bring any unauthorized notes, books, communication equipment or other aids into the examination room must leave them in an area designated by the chief proctor.
Smoking is not permitted in the examination room.
In the case of an emergency, candidates will be permitted to leave and re-enter the examination room only if accompanied by a proctor. Candidates may be granted permission to move to another available seat if they can provide a legitimate reason.
Candidates are responsible for ensuring that they receive the proper question paper.
Candidates will use only the approved answer form supplied (question paper, markex card, or answer booklet). When answer booklets are employed, candidates will use them even for rough work and will not write on any other paper. Pages will not be removed from answer books. Candidates must keep all papers on their desk.
Candidates who require additional answer books during the examination will not leave their seat but will attract the attention of the proctor by raising a hand.
Any suspected irregularities in the question paper or any unusual distractions in the vicinity of the candidates should be brought to the attention of the proctor.
Upon completion of the examination, candidates will ensure that their student number, name, course number, book number and total number of books, and the name of the instructor are lettered legibly on all answer books. If more than one book has been used, they should be numbered consecutively and placed inside book one. No answer books or parts of answer books will be taken from the examination room.
Candidates will not be allowed to leave the examination room during the last 15 minutes. Under no circumstances, including late arrival, will the time beyond the designated period be extended.
At the conclusion of the examination, candidates will remain seated until a proctor has collected their completed examination booklets. Candidates who leave the room and neglect to sign their name and submit their completed booklets to the proctor will be considered as not having written the examination.
Students may obtain a copy of these regulations from the Office of the Registrar in the Stevenson-Lawson Building.
Background:
Problems arose in the last set of examinations with students possessing a pager in active mode to receive information from outside the examination room. Given the rate of development, and diminishing size, of various electronic communication devices, SCAPA has approved a modification of the examination regulations to prohibit explicitly the use of such equipment.
FOR INFORMATION
Effective immediately, the name of the Academic Excellence Program (AEP) will be revised to become the Academic Excellence Opportunity in the Richard Ivey School of Business.
The Academic Excellence Program (AEP) was introduced in 1996 to offer outstanding secondary school students preadmission to the Ivey HBA program. AEP candidates are assessed on their academic record, extra-curricular activities, achievement and leadership skills. Successful candidates must register at The University of Western Ontario for their first two years studying in any of the University's programs. To be eligible to proceed into the third year in business, accepted candidates must maintain a two-year overall average of 80.0%, obtain a minimum of 70% in Business 257 and remain involved in extra-curricular activities.
The Academic Excellence Program has had tremendous benefits to both Ivey and Western, attracting many outstanding students that would have otherwise attended other institutions with first year entry commerce programs. However, the AEP name has caused some confusion for both students and the UWO Registrar's Office. Designating this option as a program has resulted in students believing that it is a four-year program and that their faculty of registration in Year One is Ivey. To rectify this the School would like to change the name of this option to the Academic Excellence Opportunity (AEO) and have this name change reflected in all future publications and websites. The revised name will properly reflect the intention of this option as a conditional offer of admission to the third year of the Ivey HBA program.
At the invitation of Professor Ted Lo of the Department of Biochemistry, SCAPA has worked with the Faculties of Science, Health Sciences and Medicine and Dentistry to devise a an umbrella framework for some programs offered by these Faculties. The name for this framework is Life Sciences at Western.
This framework is fundamentally an organizational and recruiting tool for the BSc and BSc (Hons) programs in the biological sciences, the BMSc and BMSc (Hons) programs (approved by Senate in June) and the BHSc program. It allows for some interleaving of these programs, and some possibility of movement between them, as well as for a unified information and counselling service. The programs affected will be administered by a Life Sciences Advisory Committee which will provide a forum through which the University can monitor the educational and employment needs and expectations of current and future students. The Life Sciences at Western structure will be effective for September 1, 2001.
SCAPA has approved on behalf of the Senate the following Terms of Reference for new scholarships, awards, bursaries and prizes for recommendation to the Board of Governors through the Vice-Chancellor:
