EDUCATIONAL POLICY
· The members of the Faculty of Arts believe in a University whose purpose is the preservation, transmission, interpretation, and enhancement of the cultural heritage of humans, and the acquisition and expansion of new knowledge and understanding.
· They seek to fulfil this purpose by interpreting the past, examining and clarifying contemporary thinking, and anticipating the possibilities of the future. Their efforts should be sustained by a sensitivity to change, and an enthusiasm for investigation and creativity.
· The Faculty derives its strength from a unity of purpose combined with a diversity of outlook which requires it to examine every facet of life and uphold the higher human values implicit in the arts, the humanities, and the sciences.
· The Faculty will serve the needs of society but, in so doing, it will also be society's critic, encouraging independent thinking, free discussion, and the pursuit of truth.
· The Faculty is jealous of its freedom, which it will exercise without fear or favour, promoting in its members and students the spirit of courageous enquiry.
· The Faculty recognizes that the constitution and function of the University itself should be open to re-examination by the academic community as a whole. The Faculty maintains that to serve society best, the University must be self-determining in academic matters.
STRUCTURE
The Faculty of Arts contains the following departments, programs and schools:
Departments |
Anthropology |
Programs |

The Language Institute and the Saskatchewan Indian Federated College (Department of Indian Languages, Literatures, & Linguistics, Department of Indian Studies, Indian Communication Arts Program) offer additional Faculty of Arts programs.
ADMISSION, RE-ADMISSION, AND TRANSFER
ADMISSION
The general Admission Requirements of the Faculty of Arts are published in the Admission & Readmission section of the Calendar on page 2. Application procedures for the BA Honours program, the BA Honours Certificate program, the Bachelor of Journalism program, the third year of the BA in Journalism program, and the fourth year of the BA in Police Studies program are found on pages 2, 2, 2, 2, 2 respectively. Students who have taken courses at another university must meet the requirements outlined in the Transfer Requirements section below.
TRANSFER REQUIREMENTS
In order to transfer or be admitted to the Faculty of Arts, students who have attempted 24 or more credit hours of university courses (at the University of Regina or another university) must have a minimum UGPA of 60.00%. Students who have attempted fewer than 24 credit hours of university courses will be admitted based on the high school admission criteria published in the Admission & Readmission section of the Calendar on page 2.
Students who do not meet this criteria must appeal for admission, in writing, to the Faculty's Student Appeals Committee, c/o Classroom Building 411. The decision of the Faculty with respect to admission and conditions for continuation is final.
TRANSFER FROM THE ENTRANCE PROGRAM
Students applying to transfer from the Entrance Program to the Faculty of Arts must have completed at least 15 credit hours, with a minimum GPA of 60% on all courses taken at the University of Regina, and must have passed one course in at least three of the following four areas: List A (classical studies, the history and philosophy of science, humanities, interdisciplinary studies, languages (including 200- or 300-level English courses), linguistics, philosophy, religious studies, and women's studies), List B (anthropology, economics, geography, history, Indian studies, Indian health studies, interdisciplinary studies, political science, psychology, sociology or social studies, and women's studies), fine arts, and science. Students who are admitted to the Program without having completed Grade 12 English must place at English 100 level by writing the English Placement Test or successfully complete English 090 and/or English 091, as required, to qualify for transfer.
TRANSFER TO THE BACHELOR OF HUMAN JUSTICE
Students who apply to transfer, from another program in Arts or from another Faculty or Program, with less than a 65% GPA in all courses taken during the past five years, are designated as qualifying students until their GPA reaches 65%. Qualifying students may not register for field work (HJ 202/203) or practicum (HJ 448), or in sections of Human Justice courses reserved for BHJ students.
READMISSION OR TRANSFER AFTER BEING REQUIRED TO DISCONTINUE
Students who have been required to discontinue from the University of Regina or from another post-secondary institution must appeal for admission or re-admission, in writing, to the Faculty's Student Appeals Committee, c/o Classroom Building 411. The decision of the Faculty with respect to admission and conditions for continuation is final. Consult the section on Academic Performance and Faculty Action in the Academic Regulations section on page 2.
TRANSFER OF CREDIT FROM OTHER UNIVERSITIES AND COLLEGES
Courses taken at accredited universities and colleges in North America are evaluated, when the student first registers, by the Faculty (or by the student's Federated College with approval of the Faculty) for credit towards Faculty of Arts programs. Students must provide a Calendar or certified course descriptions for U.S. post-secondary institutions and CEGEP institutions in Quebec. Grades are not transferred, except to the Bachelor of Arts (BA) Honours or the RCMP Program (see pages 2 and 2). For information about evaluation of credit for courses completed outside Canada and the United States, please see the Advanced Standing and Transfer Credit section on page 2.
OUTDATED COURSES
Students who are admitted or readmitted to the Faculty, having completed courses in their proposed major more than 10 years ago, may be required by the Faculty to update their knowledge by repeating or taking additional courses in their major. These decisions are made by the Faculty's Student Appeals Committee on the recommendation of the head of the department offering the major. The earlier attempt at any passed courses that must be repeated under this regulation can be counted for elective credit.
ACADEMIC ADVISING
Academic advising is designed to help students to understand their academic options and to build a degree program with academic integrity, tailored to their particular interests and goals.
Students who enrol in the Faculty through Campion College, Luther College, or the Saskatchewan Indian Federated College receive all academic advising from their College, and should consult the Federated and Affiliated Colleges section on page 2 of this Calendar or their College's Academic or Registrar's Office for more information.
Students who enrol in the Faculty directly must schedule an appointment for academic advising upon receipt of their letter of admission or transfer by calling the Arts Records Office at (306) 585-4137 or by e-mail at arts.records@uregina.ca. Advising after the first semester is optional, but the Faculty recommends that students consult an advisor at least once a year, as follows:
Program or major undecided: |
Arts Records Office (CL 411). |
Pre-professional programs: |
Arts Records Office. |
BA with chosen major: |
Department offering the major. |
BHJ until HJ 202/203: |
Arts Records Office. |
BHJ after HJ 202/203: |
School of Human Justice. |
The Arts Records Office will provide a printed program audit on request.
Students may also access information regarding programs, academic regulations, and registration at www.uregina.ca/arts/arts_records.
Students are required to fulfill all "Responsibilities of Students" found on page 2 of this Calendar.
ACADEMIC REGULATIONS
APPEALS
Appeals of academic regulations, program requirements, and for admission or re-admission (following a discontinuance or failure to meet transfer requirements) are to be made in writing, and addressed to the Chair, Faculty of Arts Student Appeals Committee, Faculty of Arts, University of Regina, Regina S4S 0A2. Appeal guidelines are available from the Arts Records Office and Federated College Registrars' Offices or on the web at www.uregina.ca/arts/arts_records/. The Committee does not hear appeals of grades; consult the section on reassessment of grades in the main Academic Regulations section on page 2 of this Calendar. The authority to approve substitutions or waive requirements in a major or minor rests with the Department offering that specialization, provided that the Faculty's basic requirements (minimum credit hours, minimum number of 300- and 400-level courses, etc.) are met. Appeals regarding Faculty decisions may be heard by the Council Committee on Student Appeals. Refer to the section on Rules for Operation of Student Appeals Committee in the Academic Regulations section on page 2. The decision of the Faculty is final in cases of application for admission.
COURSE LOADS
The normal maximum course load for any semester (Fall, Winter, or Spring/Summer) is 15 credit hours. Students can request permission from the Arts Records Office (or, for students registered through a Federated College, from their College's Academic or Registrar's Office) to carry up to 3 additional credit hours. To be eligible for consideration, they must have successfully completed 30 credit hours and have a GPA over 70%.
COURSE SEQUENCING
Prior written permission of the head of the department or program offering the course is needed in the following cases (and is not automatic):
· To take or repeat a 100-level course after receiving credit for a senior course in the same discipline. Classical Studies and Linguistics 175 are exceptions.
· To take or repeat a course that is prerequisite to another course that the student has already successfully completed.
DEAN'S HONOURS LIST
The list is compiled each semester. To be included on it, students must achieve a GPA of at least 85% on a minimum of 12 credit hours of numerically-graded University of Regina courses. This ruling appears on the student's official transcript.
DEFERRAL OF FINAL EXAMINATION AND/OR TERM WORK
Students who are unable to complete a course for serious medical or personal reasons should consult their Faculty (Faculty of Arts students should contact the Arts Records Office) or Federated College's Academic or Registrar's Office as quickly as possible.
Extensions on deadlines for completion of assignments or writing of final examinations may be granted to students on the basis of illness, accident, or other extreme and legitimate circumstances beyond their control. If students become very ill or encounter other serious difficulties early in the semester or when no coursework has yet been completed, withdrawal may be a better option (see page 2).
Consult the main Academic Regulations section on page 2 of this Calendar for more information.
FAILED COURSES
Failed courses include grades of "NP." If the failed course is prerequisite to one in which the student has enrolled in the next semester, it is the student's responsibility to drop the course which he or she is no longer eligible to take.
REPEATING COURSES
Students may repeat any course, passed or failed, once (English 100 may be repeated twice). The most recent grade is the one that is used in calculation of program GPAs. Written requests to repeat a required course an additional time are to be submitted to the Faculty of Arts Records Office (or, for students registered through a Federated College, from their College's Academic or Registrar's Office). A guide to the criteria used in these decisions is available from the Arts Records Office and from Federated College Registrars or on the web at www.uregina.ca/arts_records/. Permission is not automatic.
Students who fail ENGL 110 twice are required to seek mandatory advising and should contact the Arts Records Office or their Federated College's Academic or Registrar's Office immediately.
ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
The minimum grade point average (GPA) based on completion of a minimum of 24 GPA hours is 60.00%. Students who fail to meet this minimum are placed on "Academic Probation".
If students fail to meet the minimum GPA of 60.00% upon completion of an additional fifteen (15) GPA hours since the application of "Academic Probation", they will be required to discontinue (RTD) for two semesters from the University.
Any full-time student receiving grades of NP in all courses in a given semester will immediately be required to discontinue from the University for two semesters.
Students who have been required to discontinue their studies from the University, have subsequently been readmitted, and have failed to meet the minimum requirements of the University for a second time, are required to discontinue indefinitely from the University.
"Academic Probation" and RTD rulings are recorded on the student's official transcript.
Students' academic performance is evaluated following each semester, with the Spring and Summer semesters being treated as a single semester. Probation and RTD letters are mailed in May, September, and January. When RTDs are assessed, they are effective immediately. The Probation and RTD letters will state the deadlines for appeals. Appeals received by the deadline are heard within the term; late appeals will not be heard.
Consult the Academic Regulations section of the Calendar on page 2 for more detailed information.
Additional regulations apply to the Police Studies Program and the School of Journalism: see pages 2 and 2.
Students must appeal for readmission following a discontinuance. The decision of the Faculty is final in cases of application for admission and readmission. Further conditions may be placed on students who are readmitted on appeal.
RESIDENCE
In each program, students must complete a certain minimum number of courses or credit hours from the University of Regina, as indicated below.
Note: Six-week Intersession immersion courses offered by the Saskatchewan Centre for International Languages that are not officially University of Regina credit courses are treated as if they were, and therefore count towards the residence requirement and in the calculation of the program GPA. Please consult the Faculty of Arts or the Language Institute for the list of courses to which this policy applies.
BA, BA HONOURS, BA IN POLICE STUDIES, AND BACHELOR OF FRENCH CANADIAN STUDIES
Sixty credit hours, including half of the credit hours required for the major (and for each component discipline of a combined major), 9 credit hours in the minor (if any), and, for students in BA Honours programs, half of the 400-level courses required for their major, including the honours paper.

For the BHJ, students must still meet the specific course requirements, and they must complete HJ 448 through the University of Regina (although the actual placement may be outside of Regina).
Normal admission, program, academic standing, and graduation regulations apply, with the exception that grades in courses taken at other post-secondary institutions are included in the calculation of program and major GPAs. Students pay tuition and other required fees at whatever institution they are attending. The University of Regina charges an annual maintenance of status fee (currently $100) each year until a student graduates or requests in writing to discontinue from the program.
Applicants to this program should indicate "RCMP program" on their application for admission form, and give their badge number.
COMPLETION OF OLD PROGRAMS
Students are no longer eligible to complete any former BA Ordinary, Advanced, or Honours program in effect before 1993, the BHJ program in effect before Fall 1995, nor the former Certificate in HJ. Students who were working on these programs must meet current degree requirements. Students who are in doubt about their eligibility to complete an old program should consult the Arts Records Office (CL 411) or their College Registrar.
BACHELOR OF HUMAN JUSTICE
Students who entered the BHJ program between Fall semester 1995 and Intersession 1998 may complete the program requirements published in the Calendar in the academic year in which they were admitted to the program and must complete their program and must graduate by Spring Convocation 2005.
Students who do not meet the deadline, students who were admitted to the program prior to Fall semester 1995, and students who were admitted to the program for Fall semester 1998 or later must meet the current requirements of the School of Human Justice (see page 2).

Students can choose to do two single-subject majors. The second major can be in another subject offered by the Faculty of Arts, or in a subject offered by either the Faculty of Fine Arts or the Faculty of Science.
An interdisciplinary major in justice studies is offered by the Police Studies Program. Students who want to pursue the interdisciplinary study of a different particular theme should consult the Arts Records Office (or, for students registered in a Federated College, their College's Academic or Registrar's Office) for information about individual majors.
Minor (optional): (18 - 24 credit hours)
Minors are offered in classical studies (see page 2) and in the history and philosophy of science (see page 2), as well as in all the subjects listed above as possible majors. Minors in subjects offered by the Faculties of Fine Arts and Science are also allowed. Students may declare up to two minors.
Electives
Any degree-credit course offered by this University can be counted towards a student's program as an elective. Students are encouraged to consult an advisor in the department offering their major for help in constructing a well-rounded program.
The following courses are not considered to be university-level and so may not be taken for credit towards the program: Adult Mathematics 001, 002, and 003; English 090 and 091; Mathematics 104; University 100 and 110.
Some certificate courses offered by University Extension are considered equivalent to specific courses offered by University faculties, and these may be used as electives in the usual way. AE 19 and AE 20 are not granted credit. Otherwise, a maximum of 15 credit hours of approved certificate courses, taken in Fall 1996 or later, can be counted as introductory electives.
A maximum of 60 credit hours of courses outside the Faculties of Arts, Fine Arts, and Science may be counted towards a BA program.
Program outlines are available on the web at www.uregina.ca/arts/arts_records/
Graduating GPAs:
· Program: 60%
· Major(s): 65%
· Minor(s), if any: 65%
The program GPA is calculated on all courses used in the program. The major and minor GPAs are calculated on the courses used to meet the major or minor requirements.
Special mentions:
· Bilingual mention/mention bilingues: requires a minimum of 40% and maximum of 60% of courses counted towards the program to have been given in French, including at least 3 courses from departments other than French in the Faculties of Arts, Fine Arts, or Science.
· Distinction: requires a graduating program GPA of 80%.
· Great distinction: requires a graduating program GPA of 85%.
· Students who believe they qualify for a bilingual mention must indicate this on their application for graduation. Awards of "distinction" and "great distinction" are made automatically by the Faculty.
ADVANCED CERTIFICATE IN ARTS
The Advanced Certificate in Arts provides the equivalent of a four-year BA degree to holders of a 3-year BA from the University of Regina or another approved university. The Advanced Certificate in Arts may be in a major different than that of the underlying BA program.
Students must complete at least 30 credit hours in addition to the courses in the three-year BA, including any remaining requirements of their chosen major. Students whose BA is from another university must complete at least 15 credit hours in the major subject as part of the certificate.
Each student's program must be approved by the head of the department offering the major. The certificate requires the same graduating GPAs (calculated on the aggregate of degree and certificate courses) as the BA degree.
BACHELOR OF ARTS (BA) HONOURS
A BA Honours program is one that allows more specialization than is possible in the BA. It is designed for students who wish a deeper insight and more intensive training in their subject of special interest and who are able to meet the higher standards set. Students interested in entering an honours program should consult the head of the department concerned as early as possible in their academic programs, so that the program of studies may be planned in conformity with the requirements of the proposed honours program.
Requirements
The BA Honours program consists of a minimum of 120 credit hours and must include the following:
· All of the BA core requirements.
· A requirement of 17 to 22 courses in the major as determined by each department, including a minimum of 12 credit hours at the 400 level in not fewer than 3 courses. Students should check the calendar entry of the department concerned for specific requirements.
· An honours paper or comprehensive oral or written examination.
Special regulations for Honours programs
· Grades in courses taken at other institutions and granted credit to the program will be converted to percentages (if necessary) and used in the calculation of program and major GPAs.
· Students who fail more than 9 credit hours after their first academic year (i.e., after the first 30 credit hours attempted) are not eligible to enter or complete an Honours program. If there are extenuating circumstances, they may appeal to the Faculty's Student Appeals Committee to have this regulation waived. If the Committee grants the appeal, the student must still comply with all other regulations governing admission and graduation, and will be allowed no further failed courses.
Application and admission
There is a formal application procedure for Honours programs; application forms are available from the Arts Records Office and College Registrars or on the web at www.uregina.ca/arts/arts_records/. Students can apply in the semester in which they will complete 60 credit hours (Psychology majors must have completed 60 hours). A program GPA of 70% and a major GPA of at least 75% are required, although most, but not all, departments will consider students for admission if their GPAs are close to this. Students must also have completed all the core requirements of the BA degree (second language requirement, math/logic, etc.) before admission to Honours.
Minimum GPAs for graduation
· Program: 70%
· Honours Major(s): 75%
· Second (non-Honours) Major if any: 65%
· Minor(s), if any: 65%
The program GPA is calculated on all courses used in the program. The Honours major GPA is calculated on all courses taken in the Honours subject, including any crosslisted courses, any required cognate courses, and any unrepeated failed courses. A GPA of 85% or higher in an Honours major qualifies a student for the designation "High Honours." Second (non-Honours) major and minor GPAs are calculated on the courses used to meet the major or minor requirements.
BACHELOR OF ARTS (BA) HONOURS CERTIFICATE
The BA Honours Certificate provides the equivalent of a four-year Honours degree to holders of a three-year BA or a four-year bachelor's degree from the University of Regina or another approved university. The Honours Certificate may be in a major different than that of the underlying degree program.
Students must complete at least 30 credit hours in addition to the courses in the bachelor's degree, including any remaining requirements of the BA Honours major (and any remaining core requirements if their previous degree is not a BA), and must meet the residency requirements. The BA Honours Certificate is governed by the same regulations, has the same admission criteria and procedure, and requires the same graduating GPAs (calculated on the aggregate of degree and certificate courses) as the BA Honours degree.
BACHELOR OF HUMAN JUSTICE (BHJ)
Details of regarding the Bachelor of Human Justice (BHJ) program can be found on page 2.
BACHELOR OF ARTS (BA) IN JOURNALISM

After completion of the first stage students must apply for admission to the final two years offered by the School of Journalism (see page 2).
BACHELOR OF JOURNALISM (BJ)
The BJ is a two-year program designed for students with a previous degree who seek a specialization in journalism. For admission requirements and details of the program, refer to School of Journalism information, page 2.
BACHELOR OF ARTS (BA) IN POLICE STUDIES
The BA in Police Studies is a four-year program requiring 120 hours of credit. The program consists of two stages. The first stage is three years (90 credit hours) of pre-police studies (see page 2).
