MEMORANDUM

ALL DIRECTORS DATE: November 20, 1975

William L. Day,
Dean of Curriculum.

STATEMENT RE VARIATIONS FROM POLICY - COURSE AND PROGRAM OUTLINES

The College-wide Curriculum Committee at its meeting of November 10

approved the following statement as adequately allowing for variations
from policy, while preserving an adequate level of commonality and
College-wide standards:

“Where, in the opinion of a Divisional Curriculum Committee,
a variation from College-wide standards or prescriptions
is desirable, a memorandum describing such variation in
detail and the rationale for this variation shall be attached
to the course or program outlines submitted for approval to
the Dean of Curriculum. The Dean of Curriculum will circulate
such outlines and the attached memorandum to the Heads of all
Divisional Curriculum Committees for information, in order that
any concerns can be brought to the College-wide Curriculum
Committee for discussion and decision regarding the vartation.
If no such concerns are received from members of the Committee
or the Dean of Curriculum WITHIN 14 DAYS, then the submission
will be approved. Where a variation from standard or
prescription occurs without an indication from the
Divisional Curriculum Committee by memorandum that it is
aware of such variation and is prepared to provide a
rationale for it, it shall be assumed that the
Divisional Curriculum Committee was not aware of the
variation, and therefore the outline will be returned
to the Division for reconsideration."

If you should have any concerns, or require further clarification,
to contact my office.
