General Education course may be taken in a term. The course entitled “‘“Foundations
for Enquiry”’ is compulsory in the first term.

Students entering the College directly from Grade XII must take the two courses
some time in the first four terms, but are strongly advised to take them in the first
two. Students entering from Grade XIII, or with credit for work already completed,
must take these courses in their first two terms of attendance at College.

Any student who has completed the two required courses is free to audit additional
General Education courses.

“Foundations for Enquiry” is a course designed to orient students to college life.
If it is to be worthy of the name, Higher Education must deeply involve the learner
in the whole process of enquiry which is in truth the source of all knowledge. The
student must come to understand this process and to know the methods and tools
by which it is carried out. He should also gain some appreciation of the nobility
of its purpose.

INDEPENDENT STUDY

Any student, in collaboration with a faculty member and with permission of the
Principal, may formulate a legitimate area of academic or technical inquiry into a
course programme for which credit will be given provided the work has been success-
fully completed to the satisfaction of the Dean.

TRANSFER FROM SELKIRK COLLEGE

The following is a statement from the Registrar and Secretary of Senate of the
University of British Columbia.

“The University will accept students on transfer from Selkirk College on the same
basis as students transferring from the University of Victoria, Simon Fraser Uni-
versity or any other recognized college. Students who in the past would have sought
admission following Grade 13 may now seek admission following two semesters of
study at Selkirk College and will be considered on standing shown on transcripts
of record issued by the College. A student who chooses courses at the College that
are appropriate to his academic objective at University and who obtains adequate
standing in them will be accepted for further studies at the University under the
same conditions that apply to a student who has taken all his post-secondary studies
at the University.

“The situation is similar for students transferring to the University following four
semesters at the College.”

Admission Officers from the University of Victoria, Simon Fraser University and
Notre Dame University of Nelson have given similar assurances that students will
be accepted on transfer from Selkirk College under the same conditions that apply
to those who have taken all of their post-secondary studies at the Universities, pro-
vided that they have obtained adequate academic standing.

Discussions are being held with the British Columbia Institute of Technology with
respect to the admission of students completing the first year of study in the Applied
Arts and Science Division at Selkirk College.
