     NOTICE TO ALL CURRENT UPEI STUDENTS 
     
     *NEW POLICY ON TRANSFER CREDITS* 
     
    
   
   
    
     At its meeting of 10 October, Senate enacted a new 
     
     academic regulation that would allow for the possibility of 
     
     transferring certain credits from community colleges to this 
     
     University. The regulation, as embodied in the motion passed 
     
     by Senate, reads as follows: 
     
    
   
   
    
     That a new section 1(b) be added to Academic 
     
     Regulation 16, “Transfer Credits,” as follows; and that 
     
     current Sections 1(b) through 1(e) be renumbered as 
     
    

    
      1(c) through 1(f): 
     
    
   
   
    
     (b) Beginning in the 1997-1998 academic year, stu- 
     
     dents may receive credit for courses successfully completed at 
     
     a member institution of the Association of Canadian Commu- 
     
     nity Colleges and for which credit is given at the institution, 
     
     under the following conditions: 
     
    
   
   
    
     1. Courses must be acceptable in the program to 
     
     which transfer is being sought either as required coursed or as 
     
     electives. 
     
    
   
   
    
     2. Grades must be at least 60% or, where the grading 
     
     system is different than at UPEI, at least and equivalent level 
     
     above the minimum passing grade. 
     
    
   
   
    
     3% Transfer will be allowed by the Registrar only on 
     
     the recommendation of the appropriate Dean. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Note: Transicr of credit is held distinct from the 
     
     question of admission. See calendar section on admis- 
     
     sions. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Normally, transcripts are evaluated at the time of admis- 
     
     . sion for the possibility of transfer credit. As a unique opportu- 
     
     nity, however, students now in attendance are invited to bring 
     
     to the attention of the Registrar any course which they think 
     
     might be transferrable for credit. Please note that “Courses 
     
     must be acceptable in the program to which transfer is 
     
     being sought either as required courses or a electives.” 
     
     Students are strongly encouraged to discuss the possibility with 
     
     the Dean of the Faculty or School housing their academic 
     
     program before bringing any proposals forward, as credit will 
     
     considered for transfer only on the recommendation of that 
     
     ean. 
     
    
   
   
    
     For students now in attendence at UPEI, this process 
     
     should be initiated before the end of the 1997 Calendar year. All 
     
     for such transfers must be dealt with by 31 May 1998.
