2005 / 2006 Calendar Updates

Errata and Addenda

A list of corrections and post-publication updates to the print edition of the 2005-2006 Calendar, which have been changed in the online edition, will be posted at this location. Check back regularly to stay informed of changes.

Important Changes:

In support of the Alberta government’s renewed commitment to post-secondary access, the University of Lethbridge is restoring the admission standards that have served the University and Albertans so well for over ten years. Accordingly, the criteria for General Admission for Fall 2005 are as follows:

High School Applicants: Admission average of at least 65% is required

New Transfer Applicants: Admission average of at least 2.00 is required (based on the 4.0 grade scale and a traditional course by course transfer)

In addition, our General Admission deadline has been restored to JUNE 1, 2005 to accommodate these changes.

If you have questions, please contact the Registrar's Office and Student Services (ROSS) at 403-320-5700 or inquiries@uleth.ca.

See the Admissions website for details on how admission averages are determined for different admission routes.

Part 1 - Admission
p. 23	Deadlines table	Admission has been opened to B.F.A. (New Media) applicants for Spring 2006 (only).
p. 25	Advanced Placement table	AP Course Art Studio (Drawing) incorrectly gives UofL course Art 2160/2315 (6). Students will actually receive transfer credit for Art 2315/2xxx (6).
p. 25	International Baccalaureate table	IP Course Geography, Standard Level incorrectly gives UofL course GEOG 2xxx (3). Students will actually receive transfer credit for ENVS 2000 (3).
Part 4 - Academic Regulations
p. 78	Section 5.d. Modified General Liberal Education Requirement (GLER)	This section incorrectly states that, "Students registered in the post-diploma B.H.Sc. program are required to meet a modified General Liberal Education Requirement consisting of three courses from List I (9.0 credit hours) and two courses (6.0 credit hours) from List III." In actuality, students are required to take two courses (6.0 credit hours) from each of Lists I, II and III. Students are advised to follow the sequence plans given in section 12. Post-Diploma Bachelor of Health Sciences on page 191 to ensure satisfactory completion of the GLER.
Part 10 - Health Sciences
p. 187	Section 9.b.5. Possible Sequencing of Courses	Change in course sequencing in Year Four, Spring of the NESA program. Students will complete Nursing 4235, Nursing 4700, Nursing 4136 in Year Four, Spring. NEPAB, a body that approves nursing education programs in the province of Alberta, has changed its requirements for licensing to include a 10-week clinical consolidation course at the end of the program. This change will permit compliance with this new requirement. Students will complete NURS 4235 and NURS 4136 in the first three weeks and then will move on to their 10-week clinical practicum. Contact an Academic Advisor in the School of Health Sciences (phone: 403-329-2649).
p. 191	Section 12. Post-Diploma Bachelor of Health Sciences - Addictions Counselling Degree	Writing 1000 should be included in the Post-Diploma Bachelor of Health Sciences (Extended) sequence plan note. Also, Philosophy 3402, 3404, and 3406 should not be included because although these courses do count toward the GLER, students will still need to take another Fine Arts and Humanities course.
Part 11 - Management
p. 201	Section 9.b.8. Information Systems (IS)	Requirements incorrectly state, "Four additional non-Management electives." It should state, "Five additional non-Management electives."
p. 205	Section 11.e.8. Marketing	The "Three of:" list should include Management 4210 - Advertising and Promotions.
Part 13 - Combined Degrees
p. 241	Section 6.b. Ensembles	The "Major Focus" and "Music Ensemble Activity" lists are outdated.

Please refer to the B.Mus. section in Part 9 - Faculty of Fine Arts (p. 173) for current Ensemble information.
Part 15 - Courses
p. 383	Nursing 4136	New course. This course guides students in identifying and analyzing the best evidence from the literature regarding nursing practice that supports safe, competent, and ethical care in all settings.

	Nursing 4235	Change in contact hours from 3-0-0 to 15-0-0 hours per week. This course will be offered in the same time frame as Nursing 4136. Students will complete NURS 4235 and NURS 4136 in the first three weeks and then will move on to their 10-week clinical practicum.
	Nursing 4700	Change in contact hours from 0-0-24 to 0-0-40 hours per week and change in credit hours from 8.0 to 9.0. NEPAB, a body that approves nursing education programs in the province of Alberta, has changed its requirements for licensing to include a 10-week clinical consolidation course at the end of the program. This change will permit compliance with this new requirement.
Part 17 - General Services
p. 480	Section 36. Writing Services	Writing Services is now located in the Library (L1012), not the International Centre (SU047).
