The College will offer: Academic transfer program in arts and science approved by the major universities in the Province. One and two year career diploma courses leading to employment. Technological courses leading to graduation from the B. C. Institute of Technology. A general education program providing two years of academic studies leading to a College diploma. A community service program designed to meet the needs of the community through short courses, seminars, lectures and workshops. (Note: Students wishing to complete Grade XII standing may enrol in courses offered by the Adult Education Trogram sponsored by the School Boards of North and West Vancouver. These will be given in the same facilities as the College.) 4 HISTORY On March 9, 1964, the School Boards of North and West Vancouver established a liaison committee to study the concepts of a regional college and to determine i f there existed a genuine need for such an institution on the North Shore. Their concern was primarily for unmet student needs, typically those of grade 12 graduates who needed post-secondary training, either technical or academic, and those of adults in the community who wished to upgrade or enrich their educational status. In February, 1965, Dr. Walter Hardwick of the University of British Columbia and Prof. Ronald Baker of Simon Fraser University were commissioned to make a feasibility survey of the North Shore, to determine need and make suggestions about curriculum and site. This survey, completed on September 1, 1965, recommended the establishment of a regional college on the North Shore by September, 1968. Following publication of the survey in November, the School Boards of Howe Sound and Sechelt joined the project to make it a joint proposal of the four boards. In January 1966 permission was sought from the Council of Public Instruction to hold a plebiscite in the four school districts upon the question of the establishment of a college. Representations in support of this proposal were made to the Minister of Education and to the Academic Board for Higher Education in British Columbia. Later, an alternative proposal was submitted to the Minister of Education whereby the College would operate in its initial years in the facilities of the West Vancouver Sr. Secondary School. This proposal was accepted, and permission for a plebiscite granted. On March 7 the plebiscite succeeded in the school districts of West Vancouver, North Vancouver and Howe Sound. On April 22 the Council of Public Instruction gave permission to the three school boards concerned to establish, operate, and maintain a regional college, and a College Council was duly appointed under the Chairmanship of Mr. C. Peter Jones. At its initial meeting the Capilano College Council selected the name of the College and determined that it should open in September, 1968. 5 ADMISSION Residence Requirements Capilano College is operated primarily for residents of the three School Districts of Howe Sound, West Vancouver, and North Vancouver, which comprise the College District. A resident is defined as: (1) Any person under 21 years of age on the first day of the current term who is a dependent of parents or legal guardians who have resided in the College District for at least four months. (2) Any person under 21 years of age on the first day of the current term whose parents or legal guardians are taxpayers on real property in the College District in respect of which gross real property taxes during the preceding calendar year amounted to at least $500.00. (3) Any person 19 years of age or over on the first day of the current term who has been a resident of the College District for at least four months. Students not able to qualify as residents as defined above are classified as non-residents. Non-residents may be admitted to the College pursuant to an arrangement made between the College Council and the appropriate authority in the area from which the student comes. Non-resident students with respect to whom no such arrangement has been made will be expected to pay an increased fee. Residents have priority of admission to all College classes. The residence status of a student is established at registration. The responsibility for registering under correct resident status, and for reporting all changes in residence status, is the responsibility of the student. Academic Requirements An eligible student is one who: (a) has graduated from a British Columbia secondary school, or (b) has completed equivalent standing in another school system, or (c) i f under 19 years of age on the first day of the current term, is not deficient in more than two 6 courses required for minimum secondary school graduation, or (d) is 19 years of age on the first day of the College term, or (e) is accepted by special arrangement in view of the candidate's particular experience, maturity, or ability. A College Admissions Committee will deal with special cases. A student may register for a full program of 15 semester hours' credit, or for less. Normally, he may register only for those subjects in which he has taken the prerequisite courses. COUNSELLING AND REGISTRATION To enrol at Capilano College - Fall Term 1968 1.

(See the College Calendar for the dates.) Students who report for pre-admission counselling in August will be given a Permanent Registration Number. The permanent registration number assigned at the first counselling interview controls student records, grade reports, library loans and other statistical data. The registration number becomes an identification for students while attending the College.

The College staff will make every effort to provide students with a maximum educational opportunity. In return students have a responsibility to maintain good relationships with: 1. Other students — in keeping with the dignity and respect due to their fellows, whatever their race or religion. 2. Students and staff of the West Vancouver Senior Secondary School — because Capilano College, being permitted to use the facilities of the secondary school, has an obligation to encroach as little as possible upon its program and to show at all times consideration for the personnel and activities of the secondary school. 3. The Faculty — remembering the contribution they bring to the learning experience and the enrichment to be enjoyed by a mutually-satisfactory studentfaculty relationship. 4. The College — accepting the responsibilities of a citizen of the College community to maintain reasonable standards of conduct, and dress. It is hoped that students will regard enrolment at the College as a privilege, and that their actions will always reflect credit upon the College. 5. The Community — remembering that Capilano College is a public college, maintained at the expense of the community, but dependent for its acceptance upon students , proving their worth as citizens of the College while preparing to be informed citizens of the community. Status of Students A. A ccording to number of courses Full-time College students - A full-time college student is one who is enrolled in at least five courses, four of which are college courses. 10 Partial students — A partial college student is one who does not meet the requirements of a full-time college student. B. According to academic status Regular students — A regular student is one who has high school graduation or equivalent standing, and is eligible to be enrolled in all College-level courses. Probationary students — (a) A student who is deficient in one or two high school level courses for high school graduation. (b) A mature-entry student whose formal education has been interrupted for a number of years but who, in the opinion of the admissions committee, gives evidence of mastery in subject fields, academic ability, or demonstrated competence for admission to a College-level program. Attendance Students are expected to attend all classes in which they are registered. Irregular attendance can result in exclusion from a class. Excessive absences may also result in exclusion from a class. Evaluation of a students' progress is based on class assignments and examinations. Regular attendance is therefore essential for success in any course. A medical certificate may be required in the case of repeated or prolonged absenteeism. COURSE AND PROGRAM INFORMATION Certificates and Diplomas The academic year is divided into three, four-month terms: Fall, Spring and Summer. (A summer term will not be offered in 1969.) Any two terms constitute an academic year. College Certificate — Vocational-Technical stuaents who complete two terms of such a program will receive a certificate showing the specific program in which the student has studied. College Diploma — Students who successfully complete the third and fourth terms of an approved College program receive a College Diploma. Courses for Diploma standing will be given in September, 1969. 11 Credit Hours A credit hour represents one hour per week of classroom work per term. Most courses offered constitute three credits of work, but may require additional hours of work for laboratories, seminars, or tutorials. Grading Capilano College uses the following categories of grading and recording: Letter Grade A B C D F I W X WP WF Meaning Superior Above Average Average Below Average Failed Incomplete Withdrawal Audit Passing at the time of withdrawal Failing at the time of withdrawal Points per Credit 4 3 2 (Terminal in a course 1-(sequence, not recom0 (mended for Univer0 (sity transfer. 0 0 0 0 - A : . 1 Withdrawals Students may withdraw officially by reporting to the Student Services Centre before the last day for course withdrawals. (See the College Calendar.) A student who withdraws by following this procedure will receive a "W" but failure to withdraw through the proper channels will result in an " F " or " I " grade. Auditing Students may enrol in any course for no credit provided space is available and upon payment of the course fees. An auditor is exempt from examinations and does not receive credit. An auditor's participation in class work is at the discretion of the instructor. A student may not change from "credit" to "audit" or from "audit" to "credit" after the first week of classes. 12 Repeating a Course Courses in which a grade lower than a "C" has been received may be repeated for the purpose of raising grades and grade points. Duplicate credits will not be granted. Change of Courses The choice of courses is determined by the student, with guidance from the counsellor. All applications for course changes must be made to the student services centre by the "Last Date for Course Changes" (see the College Calendar). I f approved, and i f space is available, students may be accepted in a different course provided prerequisites have been met. STUDENT SERVICES Counselling and Guidance Counselling and guidance are important aspects of the College program. Although the function of advisement, and guidance is the responsibility of every staff member, the Student Services Co-ordinator and Counsellors work closely with students on specific problems, vocational guidance, personal and social adjustment, and educational planning. A major objective of the guidance program is to help students to become better learners and well adjusted people, working toward the vocational goals for which they are best suited. Pre-admission counselling is available to all students and is mandatory for new students before registration. It is the responsibility of the student to supply documentation of previous school or college experience at that time. Learning Resources Centre The College regards a Learning Resources Centre as an integral facility to the instructional program. It is here that the student carries forward activities initiated by his instructors, gains access to materials reserved for his use, and gets assistance in locating reference data pertinent to his assignments. For the perceptive student this centre is not only a source of academic information but also a storehouse 13 of cultural treasure. Library and media resources, though somewhat limited in September, will be expanded as rapidly as circumstances permit. The resources of the centre are available to students in the Adult Education Program, who possess identification cards, or by special arrangement with the librarian. Bookstore During the 1968-69 year the College will not operate a book store. Arrangements have been made with Eatons Park Royal to stock text-books and supplies required for College courses. Student Centre The ground floor of the College building has been set aside primarily for students. It includes: (a) A large common room where students may study, relax and obtain snacks. (b) A counselling and career centre under the direction of the Co-ordinator of Student Services where students may obtain assistance regarding student activities, individual programs, or personal problems. Student Activities All College students will have the opportunity to participate in activities related to an extra-curricular College program. It is anticipated that students will indicate their interest in those clubs and activities which can be carried out within the somewhat limited facilities and time at their disposal. The Co-ordinator of Student Services will serve as an advisor to groups interested in promoting extra-curricular activities. Parking Parking on the campus of the West Vancouver Senior Secondary School is restricted to College faculty and guests of the College. All student parking is therefore street parking. Students are urged to respect the access rights of neighboring homes and reminded that they are personally responsible for any traffic violations that may occur. 14 SCHOLARSHIPS, BURSARIES, LOANS SCHOLARSHIPS Government of British Columbia Scholarships To be eligible a student must have completed secondary school graduation and be enrolled in five College level courses or a full Vocational-Technical program.

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 and Simon Fraser University have given similar assurances that students will be accepted on transfer from Capilano College under the same conditions that apply to those who have taken all of their post-secondary studies at the universities, provided that they have obtained adequate academic standing. 17 VOCATIONAL-TECHNICAL PROGRAM Industrial Technology Specialty: A two-year program with specifics in welding, machine shop, electronics or electricity, fitting and layout.
