started to accommodate
some people laid off in
Prince Rupert. Dr. George
also reported thal a new

that a very successful six

week.-program. for -fisher- -

men had just been con-
cluded in Prince Rupert and.
Port Edward. Thanks were
expressed to the many
peo le and companies who

Enrolment figures in the
University Transfer
program were examined by
the council. Council
members expressed some
concern that the enrolment
decrease from the first to
the second term was quite
high. Though the University

started in September with a
very substantial increase in
enroiment over the previous
year-and though the second
term enrolment is still

the previous year, council
resolved that an in-
vestigation should be made
to try to determine the
causes for the drop-in
enrolment. It appears that
part of the enrolment drop is
due to the “open docr”
admission policy of the
college that allows people
with little formal education
background to register for
University Transfer courses
so that they can delermine
for themselves by direct
experience whether
university type education is
appropriate or them. Many
fn]

these students determine:

some time during the first
term that university
education is not the type of
education they should
pursue, and consequently,
they withdraw. Another
reason for the drop-out rate
is the fact that many

tential students appear to

unaware they can start a
Universit Transfer
program in the second term.

In other business, council
considered’ a set of
guidelines for transference
of courses between the
universities and colleges in
the province. hese
guidelines had been drawn
up by the B.C. Post-
Secondary Co-ordinating

¢ Committee. Council gave

general approval to the
guidelines except that they

id not think it should be
necessary for colleges to
submit names -and
qualifications of instructors
when requesting transfer
credit.

Council was informed of a
meeting to be held in
Kitimat to examine ways
and means of assessin
post-secondary education
needs. The meeting has
been organized by the
Ministry of Education and
will take place on February
2 and 22,1977. *
