APC DEADLINES FOR THE CALENDAR Based on the SCC March 31 deadline, proposals for program revisions requiring course additions or revisions ideally should come to AP for approval in principle prior to March 31 so the approved program proposal can accompany the curriculum revisions to SCC A program change proposal can subsequently come to AP incorporating course changes that had already gone through SCC A program change proposal that doesn t require new or revised courses can go to AP at any time, keeping in mind that December is generally the latest Senate meeting from which changes can be included in the Calendar for the next year UW is allowed to approve and implement new Honours programs in Arts and Science, or new thematic majors, without seeking government approval Any other new program would require submission to the government, so proposing units should be aware that the timeline for this process is beyond our control WINNIPEG IS LOCATED IN TREATY 1.

What defines a 'Science Course'? Sciences: Defined as disciplines or courses that are devoted to the systematic observation of and experimentation with the material functions of the natural or physical world A list of all the courses that meet the Science requirement can be found in the Undergraduate Academic Calendar. Practically if you are a department in the Faculty of Science, you may designate your course as a science credit. If you are a department outside the faculty of science, you need to follow the process on the next slide. WINNIPEG IS LOCATED IN TREATY 1.

Q. What does the Science Faculty do when asked whether a course meets the Science requirement? Proposed Procedure: 1. Department Chair forwards proposed course to the Dean of Science. 2. Dean of Science meets with Department Chairs in the Faculty of Science. 3. Science Chairs will vote on whether the course in question meets the requirements to be considered a 'science course'. 4. The Dean of Science will prepare a memo and forward the memo to the Department Chair indicating the result of the vote. WINNIPEG IS LOCATED IN TREATY 1.
