Any unanswered questions would be covered in the full program proposal.

Moved by Dana Cserepes, seconded by Dana Goedbloed, that Senate approve the program concept for a Fashion Marketing Diploma as presented.

MOTION CARRIED.

9.3. Program concept: B.Sc. in Applied Psychology

The proposed implementation date of September 2009 for the B.Sc. in Applied Psychology may need to be changed to January 2010 because of internal deadlines. The proponents explained that no new courses will be needed for this program, and that a number of current students are ready to enroll in the program as soon as it is approved.

The implementation of the program also depends on the acquisition of a specified lab space, for which funding has been requested. If not granted in this budget year, it will be requested in the next.

MOTION CARRIED.

Implementation is planned for September 1, 2009.

9.6. Program revision: Home Support/Resident Care Attendant

The proposed revisions to the Home Support/Resident Care Attendant certificate program are in response to new provincial competencies and curriculum for the field, and include a program name change to Health Care Assistant certificate.

The total program hours will increase by 5.5 hours, and some practice hours will shift to theory hours, with the total credits reduced by 0.5.

Moved by Dana Cserepes, seconded by Carolyn Robertson, that Senate approve the revision to the Home Support/Resident Care Attendant certificate program as presented.

MOTION CARRIED.

Implementation is planned for January 2010.

9.7. MOU: Kwantlen and College of New Caledonia

The proposed memorandum of understanding with the College of New Caledonia, Prince George, would create pathways their Criminology diploma graduates into Kwantlen's Criminology degree programs. Students will have the ability to make up missing courses in the third year.

Moved by Dana Cserepes, seconded by Dana Goedbloed, that Senate approve the memorandum of understanding between Kwantlen and the College of New Caledonia from September 2009 through to September 2014.

MOTION CARRIED.

9.8. Program revision: B.A. Qualifying Year

Dana Cserepes explained that the proposal is to replace UNIV 1100 Introduction to University/College Studies with a new course FYLC 1100 Introduction to Higher Education as the required course in the B.A. Qualifying Year. Under-prepared students who take the course gain priority registration into B.A. degree programs.

The proponents explained that the new course offers skills-development as well as a broader look at the overall value of education, which the targeted students often lack.


The proposed program change has not been approved by the Faculties of Humanities and Social Sciences, but the deans of both were satisfied with the proposed change.

Moved by Dana Cserepes, seconded by Douglas Baker, that Senate approve the revisions to the B.A. Qualifying Year as presented.

Dana Cserepes nominated Takashi Sato for Second Vice Chair of Senate, seconded by Jan Penhorwood. Nominations were call for three times.

Hearing none, Takashi Sato was acclaimed as Second Vice Chair of Senate for the period from September 1, 2009 through to August 31, 2010.


18. Motion to Rescind

At the March 30, 2009 Senate meeting, notice of motion was given to rescind a motion approved at the January 26, 2009 meeting. David Atkinson noted that it was accepted in good faith. The approved motion read as follows:

"that Senate clarify that associate deans are faculty members and eligible to be nominated for, and vote in, faculty elections."

It has since been found that as per Robert's Rules of Order the motion ought not to be rescinded because actions have been taken as a result of the motion. The Chair allowed the motion to stand and to be debated. The decision was not challenged.

After intense debate, the following issues were identified:

• the definition of associate deans in the University Act is not clear

• the Senate structure per the Act does not provide for a faculty majority, which is generally accepted as a university standard

• associate deans may teach courses and engage in other academic activities

• associate deans are faculty members but not KFA members

• the bigger issue is one of governance and how Kwantlen views academic administrators

Amendment to original motion by Arthur Coren, seconded by Derek Robertson, that Senate clarify that associate deans are members of faculty and eligible to be nominated for, and vote in, Senate faculty elections.

The Chair suggested that Senate refer the issue to the Senate Governance Committee and ask the committee to bring forward a series of recommendations. There is no urgent need to make a decision immediately as Senate membership is determined for September 2009.

Moved by Derek Robertson, seconded by Andrew Taylor-Eddy, that Senate refer the issue of associate deans and senior academic administrators related to Senate as discussed at this meeting to the Senate Governance Committee, and charge the committee to report to Senate no later than September 2009.

MOTION CARRIED.


None.

1. Preamble

Faculty Membership and Council Selection Process and Outcome

Faculty of Humanities

In accordance with the University Act, Faculties of Universities are required to make rules for the governance and management of their affairs. Each Faculty must provide a forum for the dissemination of information, discussion, and academic decision making related to the governance and management of the Faculty and its activities. To that end, the Faculty of Humanities at Kwantlen University has undertaken a thorough process of consultation with its members - including the Dean, the two Humanities Senators, the Chairs of departments, and the full faculty body -in order to identify the most suitable means of determining membership of the Faculty and the structure of the Faculty Council. \X'hat follows is a description of this process and its outcome to date.

2. The Process

The process of consultation started at the Humanities Chairs meetings, where the Dean gave a clear description of the task before the Faculty and requested suggestions for procedure. The discussions that emerged revealed three important considerations.

First, Humanities departments display an obvious disproportionality in their relative sizes. For instance, English and Philosophy are the two largest departments in tl1e Faculty, but the former is nearly three times the size of the latter in both tl1e number of FTE teaching members and the number of sections offered each year. This fact had to be carefully considered when choosing an appropriate model for Council. Second, a detetn1ination had to be made about the nature and extent of the role student representatives would play on the Faculty Council. How many representatives from the student body will be allowed to participate? Should student representatives be granted voting or non-voting membership? Finally, a sinlliar determination had to be made about the nature and extent of the role of support st~ff

Discussions of these and related matters continued for several Chairs meetings, in between which, Chairs consulted with members of their departments and related further recommendations and refinements back to the Dean. Eventually, clear formulations of tl1e following took shape:

1. Humanities Faculty membership - including responsibilities, jurisdiction, and quorum (see appendix A). u. Two models for the membership and responsibilities of a Humanities Council (see appendix B).

A Humanities-wide vote was called on each of these two proposals. As part of the voting process, members were given a final opportunity to voice concerns or offer remarks (see appendix C). These remarks were sent in a separate file to the Dean.

3. Justification

As mentioned, internal discussions within the six Humanities departments and at Chairs meetings identified concerns related to the significant differences in departmental sizes (and what that might mean for Council membership), and the extent to which students and support staff should be allowed to play a role in the business of the Council. Decisions on these matters were eventually reached, the justification of which follows.

A. Faculty Membership

An Equal Representation model of Council treats each department in the Humanities as having the same weight, regardless of size, for voting purposes. The most direct way to implement such a model would be allow one faculty member from each department to serve on Council.

A Proportional Representation model takes into account the varied sizes of departments, but must do so cautiously. No single department, no matter how large, should be allowed to dominate Council in a manner that makes the participation of others only cosmetic. On this point there was consensus from the Humanities Chairs. Accordingly, a method was sought that recognizes the relative size of a department but also prevents Council from being the platform of just one voice.

We looked to the decision made by the Faculty of Social Sciences, which had just adopt a Proportional Representation model, and found inspiration there. But where the Faculty of Social Sciences had divided faculty seats on the basis of the number of sections offered by various departments, it made more sense for Humanities to take the number of FTE instructional members as the basis of seat allocation in its Council (after all, it is people who will be voting).

Taking the number of FTE instructional members in the second largest Humanities department (Philosophy) as the key measure, it was decided that one representative for each department with 13 FTE or fewer instructional members will be included on Council; two representatives for each department with 14-26 FTE instructional members; three representatives from each department with 27-39 FTE instructional members; and so on. According to this method of accounting, each Humanities department would be entitled to one seat on Council, except English which would receive three.

A summary of seat allocation for the two proposed models is tabulated below. Which model to adopt was a question on which all Humanities Faculty would later vote.

PHIL 1 1

B. Student Membership

Section 40(b) of the University Act stipulates that a faculty has the power and duty to provide for student representation in the meetings and proceedings ~f the faculty. But the exact nature of this representation is left open. In particular, there seems to be no requirement in the Act that student representation on Faculty Councils be construed in a manner other than consultative ~.e., non-voting). Hence, while it was agreed that student representation should be provided on the Humanities Council (in a manner to be determined later), neither the Equal nor the Proportional model provides for student representatives as voting members. This was the preference expressed by most faculty members during the process of consultation.

2

C. Support Staff Membership

Both models provide seats for two voting members from the support staff: the Humanities Operations Manager and a representative from Student Advising.

The recommendation to include a seat for the Humanities Operations Manager is based on the key role of that staff member in designing and coordinating administrative support, operational processes, budget development, data collection, and enrolment tracking. Advice on educational planning and scheduling is also provided, based on data mining. Clearly, the decisions made by Council will impact the decisions made by the Operations Manager, and the Operations Manager will be invaluable in providing guidance and logistical support to Council. This symbiotic relationship, in our view, makes the inclusion·of the Operations Manager as a voting member of the Humanities Council both warranted and appropriate.

There is currently one BA Advisor shared by the Faculties of Humanities and Social Sciences, and Social Sciences has requested one further position. Advisors play a key role in communicating the student experience to processes within the Faculty. They identify issues in program design, prerequisite structures, and workaday problems which students confront. Advisors currently participate regularly on the Humanities Curriculum Committee, and we believe they should continue to do so on the Humanities Council.

It is worth pointing out tl1at, in each of the two models, teaching faculty hold the mqjori.ry of the voting seats. This is consistent with our vision of how a Faculty Council should be constituted.

D. Other Members

Both models provide two additional seats on the Humanities Council - one for the Dean of Humanities and one for a representative from the Faculty of Social Sciences. The justification for these seats is self-explanatory and can be found in Appendix B. A complete summary of seat allocation on the Humanities Council for the two proposed models is provided in the following table.

3. Outcome of Voting

Members of the Faculty of Humanities were given one week to vote separately on the proposal for Humanities Faculty membership (appendix A) and on a choice between the two models for seat allocation on the Humanities Council (Appendix B). The period of voting was one week, but later extended by one day until April 01 2009.

As the summary table below shows, only a small proportion of the total number of eligible members cast a vote. But of those who did, an overwhelming majority accepted the proposal for Faculty membership. However, only a single vote separated the two proposed models for Council, with Equal Representation just edging over Proportional Representation.

**Registrar, or designate (NV) 0

Rationale for Students:

The University Act directs Faculties to make provision for student representation in the meetings and

proceedings of the Faculty. This is a laudatory requirement, as the perspective of students ought to

inform academic decision making within the Faculties. The Faculty of Social Sciences does not have

provision for student membership in the Faculty. Rather, students occupy two seats on Faculty Council.

Having two student reps provides peer support. Granting students voting seats on Faculty Council

reflects the importance of their role. We intend that having two voting student reps will facilitate the

engagement and retention of student reps on Council, and that their input will improve the student

experience.

Rationale for. Lab/Teaching Assistant:

The Bylaw Committee which drafted the initial bylaws noted that "these staff members play a key role in student learning". We currently have one Lab Assistant, but expect this number to grow. If, at some point in the future, there are Teaching Assistants within the Faculty, it would seem appropriate to have them represented as part of this group.

*When Faculty Council launches, we will have a single Associate Dean and one Lab/ Teaching Assistant

position within the Faculty. It is expected that these individuals will occupy a seat on Faculty Council ex

officio until such time as there is more than one such position within the Faculty. The Bylaws stipulate a

nomination/ endorsement process, and a one year term should the number of staff in these positions

increase.

**Both the President (V) and Registrar (NV) are members of the Faculty (as required by the University

Acts. 63(d)), but not of Faculty Council.

1. Coordinators and/or Chairs (voting rationale): The Faculty has agreed that department coordinators will be ex-officio appointments to the Faculty Council for the duration of their term and will be replaced by a new Coordinator should they step down or be removed from the position. In the event there is no Coordinator in the department, an acting representative to Faculty Council may be elected by the department, this person will have voting rights.

2. Systems Support Supervisor (voting rationale) The departments within the Faculty of Design and Communications are heavily dependent on digital technology, hardware and software. As a result our equipment and computer capital acquisitions tend to be one of the highest at Kwantlen. The Systems Support Supervisor for the Faculty participates fully in advising, sourcing, long range planning and purchasing our capital acquisitions and plays a critical role in the educational support, technological direction and budget allocations of our programs.

3. Students (voting rationale): Leadership and participation is key element in the learning outcomes and Employability skills of our curriculum and of our programs. Faculty believe that students can and should play a role in the decision making process regarding their education.

FACULTY Voting and Eligibility are determined by Senate.

Voting: The voters list shall be comprised of all faculty members with appointments within educational administrative divisions of the University, constituted by the board as a Faculty.

All faculty members with a current appointment during the period of election will be eligible to vote.

Eligibility: A faculty member elected to the Council must have an appointment, consistent with the term of office. If an elected faculty member's appointment with the University is terminated for any reason, the position will be declared vacant.

C. Executive Summary

C.1 Explain how this concept adheres to principles and priorities as indicated in ministerial, institutional, and academic planning documents. Is this concept supportable and sustainable with existing and/or available resources?

The current nursing shortage is well documented. According to a report by the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing and the Canadian Nurses Association (2008) research suggests that 12,000 graduates per year are required to address the projected nursing shortage in Canada. To reach this number, the number of Entry to Practice graduates will have to increase by a further 27%. In 2006, Ontario and British Columbia had the lowest RN-to-population ratio. BC was 1: 3869 and Ontario was 1: 4527 as compared to Alberta which was 1: 2784 and Quebec which was 1: 2887. In 2007, these two provinces also had the fewest graduates relative to population. The Fraser Health Authority (2006) predicts that there will be a regular RN shortfall of 510 positions by 2011. One hundred more grads per year need to be recruited out of BC' s post secondary system. Fifty more nurses with specialty training are also required per year. The proposed Kwantlen Bachelor of Nursing (BN) program provides a final practice course with an option for specialty training to address this.

Fast-track or condensed nursing programs in Canada are becoming increasingly popular, as evidenced by a growth of 18.7% in their numbers in 2006 - 2007. There were 38 of these programs, compared with 32 the previous year (CASN, 2008). Such programs allow students to complete their education in less time than the traditional degree programs and include accelerated, fast-track, compressed, second-degree entry, advanced entry and bridging programs (Nursing Education in Canada Statistics: 2006 - 2007).

The proposed BN program provides a new way to offer nursing education for individuals who are University graduates. Graduates of this BN program will be prepared to be practicing nursing professionals in a health care system which is experiencing a significant shortage of nurses. The program consists of 85 credits ( 49 of which are at third and fourth year levels). Students will enter the program with a broad knowledge base in Liberal Education of at least 60 transferable credits (30 of which will be at the 3rd and 4th year levels). The BN is designed as a compressed (30 month) nursing degree program which will provide access to an additional 40 students each year. The proposed Bachelor of Nursing program is a second-degree entry program which is very different from the current Bachelor of Science in Nursing program in several ways. First, much of the BN program will be delivered in an on-line format taking advantage of the well developed critical thinking skills of a baccalaureate graduate. Second, students may be facilitated to complete practice experiences in their own communities as appropriate and available. Such practice experiences may include "clusters" where students at different levels in the program share a practice placement. And, the structure of this program provides access to students throughout British Columbia and facilitates them to learn and work in their own communities.

Kwantlen Polytechnic University currently offers a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program, a Bachelor of Psychiatric Nursing (BPN) program, and specialized re-entry nursing programs. Resources, such as labs and lab staff (including high fidelity simulation), clinical placement personnel, as well as faculty with expertise in nursing education are currently in place. Although much of this program will be delivered on-line, and many of the resources required are already available at Kwantlen and used in the other Community & Health Studies programs; this program will require extensions to these resources during a Consolidation Residency for the students (for example, weekends and evenings) as well as some additional resources, for example, expanded nursing laboratory space. Funding for the program will come through the Ministry of Advanced Education and student tuition. The program will also require additional IET support and consultation as faculty members will need professional development to transition to the on-line format of delivery.

The Faculty of Community & Health Studies at K wantlen Polytechnic University has a strong tradition of providing excellence in nursing education (which is evidenced by current recognition by the College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia I College of Psychiatric Nurses of British Columbia of all nursing programs and accreditation by the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing for the current Bachelor of Science in Nursing program).

Form updated December 2008


D. Access (Degree FPP section 6. Admission and Transfer/Residency)

D.1. What entry requirements should applicants be expected to meet? If there are multiple entry points, please specify requirements for each. (A graphic representation of this may be attached as Appendix C) Are entrance requirements appropriate? Are students likely to be successful

Kwantlen Polytechnic University entrance requirements plus:

Baccalaureate degree completed within seven years of registration with 60 University transfer credits as electives (30 of which are at a third or fourth year level)

Equivalency of first year Anatomy and Physiology English llxx and English 12xx (includes one University writing course) Health Provider CPR and First Aid

College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia (CRNBC) English fluency requirements (If English is not the applicant's first language, English fluency tests are required to confirm proficiency in English)

Criminal Record Check within six months of registration Immunizations consistent with the requirements of practice agencies.

These entrance requirements are appropriate to ensure students are successful in this compressed nursing degree program.

D.2. Will the structure of the program allow for full-time, part-time, evening, weekend, on-line, mixedmode delivery methods, or a combination of any of these? (Identify each as appropriate).

The BN program is designed as a full-time program with a mixed mode delivery. On-line delivery methods will be developed for theory, lab, and practice courses and on-line resources used extensively for lab and clinical practice support, which makes these components of the program accessible at any time for learners.

Consolidation of practice will include lab simulation as well as clinical practice and require Residency at Kwantlen. High fidelity simulation will be used for Residency Consolidation, clinical and lab practice, assessment, and remediation. Residency Consolidation will consist of 2 weeks (5 days per week) of lab instruction and practice, followed by six weeks of practice in medical I surgical practice areas.

Students may be facilitated to complete other practice experiences in their own communities as appropriate and available. Such practice experiences may include "clusters" where students at different levels in the program share a practice placement.

The structure of this program provides access to students throughout British Columbia and facilitates them to learn and work in their own communities.

D.3 Will the structure of the program allow for multiple entry and exit points? (Be specific - use flow charts for clarity)

There will be an advanced entry point for graduates of the Kwantlen Bachelor of Psychiatric Nursing program. These graduates will enter this program following Semester 2, either through attrition or in additional cohorts depending on numbers and resources available. They will be provided with an Access course and enter into the Residency Consolidation. This Access course will prepare them for the on-line delivery of the program as well as review their medical/surgical knowledge and skills. Additional entry points will be considered on an individual basis.



The Program provides an alternative for students with a University degree to complete the nursing program in a compressed mode of delivery. Currently we have students in both our nursing degree programs that have previous degrees. The BN will provide an option for these students to complete their nursing education, and be in the nursing workforce, 18 months earlier. The Bachelor of Science in Nursing program at Kwantlen has demand that exceeds our seats, often up to 10 times more applicants than seats. Those individuals with a university degree will have another access point as they seek to work as RNs in British Columbia

There is only one exit point following Semester 6.

E. Student Profile

E.1 Who are your target students (age, gender, educational background, work experience)? Where do they come from (recent high school graduates, mature students, transfers from other institutions)? How do you plan to recruit or attract these students? Are there other characteristics applicants

· should have that you identify as important?

Target students for this second degree program are individuals who have successfully completed an undergraduate university degree within seven years of registration.

As with all nursing programs, the students are expected to be predominantly women but we may experience a higher number of men in this program as a result of on-line format and compression of the program. Recruitment will be through Kwantlen marketing, Health Authorities, professional nursing organizations, conferences, post-secondary educational institutions, and public advertising.

The structure of this program facilitates access for students throughout British Columbia so the marketing will be provincial rather than local.

E.2. How will the program address the needs of under-prepared students? How will you get these students into a qualifying year?

There are courses available at Kwantlen Polytechnic University to address any deficits in Admissions requirements (English, Anatomy & Physiology, electives). These courses may also be available in other communities, or by distance education, to facilitate students who do not live in the Kwantlen catchment area. This is a fast-paced, full-time, cohort model nursing program and students will be expected to take all courses at the scheduled times.

Situations of discrepancy will be considered on an individual basis.

E.3 How will the program address equity by decreasing systemic barriers? Is this type of program traditionally or historically underrepresented in specific cohort groups? (e.g., gender and/or age imbalance, First Nations) How will the program address these issues?

Nursing programs have traditionally been oversubscribed and decisions regarding admissions will be made equitably, using a point system as required. We may explore the possibility of awarding additional points for underrepresented groups (for example, Aboriginals).

Traditionally, men are underrepresented in the nursing profession. We will try to encourage men into this program through our marketing strategies.


Program Concept: (Bachelor of Nursing BN) Page 5

The Faculty of Community & Health Studies is currently engaged in a project with Health Canada to increase the Aboriginal content and pedagogy in our Nursing programs' curricula. The BN program will incorporate these into the curriculum as it is developed.



F. Program Description (Degree FPP section 4. Curriculum/Program Content)

F.1 Provide a broad description of the program outcomes, and how this program relates to existing or proposed programs at Kwantlen:

The goal of the BN program is to educate and prepare students to be independent, caring, creative, reflective, and competent professional nurses who will apply their creativity and strong critical thinking skills in basic and advanced nursing roles.

Graduates of this program will meet the entrance requirements to the profession of nursing in British Columbia. They will meet all of the competencies identified and required by the College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia (CRNBC) of a beginning Registered Nurse.

Kwantlen's existing BSN program graduates approximately 64 students per year who are eligible to write the national registration exams to practice nursing in B.C. This new program will increase Kwantlen's contribution of graduates to decrease the nursing shortage by more than 60% annually, bringing this more in line with other nursing programs throughout the province.

The current crisis in health care due to the nursing shortage has created an increased demand to produce more nurses in a more expedient manner. This program will provide a condensed program of study to meet this demand. There is one other second degree nursing program in British Columbia at this time at University of British Columbia.

F.2 How does the proposed program support existing programs at Kwantlen?

The BN program will provide an option for Kwantlen graduates from existing degree programs to complete a condensed program which will prepare them for entry into a profession which is currently experiencing a significant shortage. Graduates from Kwantlen's Bachelor of Psychiatric Nursing will be provided with an advanced entry option to become dually registered as a Registered Nurse by the College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia (CRNBC) in addition to their registration as a Registered Psychiatric Nurse by the College of Registered Psychiatric Nurses of British Columbia (CRPNBC).

The Final Practice Consolidation at the end of the program includes a specialty education option. We will collaborate with the proposed Kwantlen Advanced Critical Care Post-baccalaureate certificate program to facilitate students who are interested in this specialty.

Marketing efforts will have a strong focus on Kwantlen graduates who are interested in a nursing career.

F.3. Identify how the proposed program supports Kwantlen's mission, core values, and strategic objectives?

The Bachelor of Nursing program is being developed in recognition of the crisis in health care today due to the nursing shortage. The proposed program is consistent with Kwantlen's mission statement. It is aligned with the current three-year CARS Strategic Plan, and with the institution's core values, which are "learning, quality, and community." This program addresses an urgent community need. Projections for the Fraser Health Authority identify a need for an additional 2785 Registered Nurses by the year 2012 (Fraser Health Authority, Staffing Projections to 2012, 2007). The accelerated second degree Bachelor of Nursing program will assist the Fraser



Health Authority in meeting this need by producing an additional 40 graduates per year.

The Board of Governors at Kwantlen Polytechnic University have established a list of values which includes exploration, inclusiveness, excellence, integrity, community, and accountability. All of these core values are embedded in the philosophical tenants of the proposed Bachelor of Nursing program.

Kwantlen's mission statement: "We create an exceptional learning environment committed to preparing learners for leadership, service, and success" is also consistent with the outcomes of the proposed Bachelor of Nursing program which prepares graduates to work as professional nurses in roles of direct care provider, educator, clinician, researcher, manager, and I or entrepreneur.

The proposed Bachelor of Nursing program adheres to the principles outlined in policy L.10 Program Prioritization. The BN program is responsive to student needs, consistent with the institutional mandate (aligns with priorities identified, creates opportunities for students to transition to and from current programs, supports the achievements of strategic research and scholarship goals, and supports the mission, values, and strategic objectives of Kwantlen Polytechnic University). The program is sustainable and quality assurance is ensured through both internal and external (CRNBC, CASN) review processes. As outlined in the executive summary, the proposed BN program focuses on Kwantlen's three key objectives which are student and graduate success, education and service excellence, and service to communities.

Strategies

F.4 How will the program ensure educational effectiveness (e.g., retention rates, completion rates, success rates for progression)? Does the program create opportunities for students to ladder from current programs?

The BN is a fast-paced, full-time, cohort model nursing program and the courses will be developed specifically with this in mind. As noted above, Kwantlen courses may be accessed by potential students who are underqualified to meet the Admissions Requirements.

This program will be delivered through a variety of strategies. On-line theory, lab, and practice courses will be implemented, and practice experiences will be facilitated throughout the province. Practice will include traditional and non-traditional settings. Consolidation will consist of labs, high fidelity simulation, and practice. This will require a residency at K wantlen.

It is anticipated that attrition rates will be low. Students will have already experienced success in obtaining a university degree. Currently, in nursing programs, most student failures are in English and Biology (Anatomy and Physiology) courses. These courses will be prerequisites for program entry. Other second degree nursing programs in Canada and the United States enjoy very low attrition rates (Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing, Canadian Nurses Association, 2008).



F.5 Describe how the proposed program incorporates co-op placements, work experience, practicum, clinical practice, etc.: (if applicable)

Practice placements will be in non-traditional as well as traditional settings in provincial Health Authorities throughout the province. Clinical Placements for the Consolidation Residency will be in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. Although there are shortages of clinical practice sites, the Fraser Health Authority has responded that it will make every effort to provide more sites to accommodate increased nursing student numbers.

The BSN program does not run Consolidated Practice Experiences through the Spring semester, so we will not be competing with this program for placements during this time. The May intake facilitates the use of clinical placements as many nursing programs do not use the summer semester. Additional placements may be used throughout the province, country, and internationally. Non-traditional placements will include any place where nursing services may be provided (streets, community centers, private homes, schools, day cares, industry, etc.).

Kwantlen has a tradition of developing creative practice placement opportunities for students in the Faculty of Community & Health Studies. All of these models will be explored and employed (as appropriate) in the BN program. These include Clinical Teaching Units, Shared Learning Units, special projects, and clustering of students.

Consistent with all nursing programs in British Columbia, students will be able to access Employed Student Nurse positions with the Health Authorities following their second year of study. Co-op placement opportunities will also be explored.

Total practice hours in the BN program are 1492. This number exceeds the CRNBC required practice hours for entry level nursing programs.

F.6 Does this program include Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) as per Policy B.14 Credit for Prior Learning?

Each course in the Bachelor of Nursing program will have provisions for Prior Learning Assessment which are described in the Course Outline.

Prior Learning Assessment will be available for all students. For example, those who have graduated from the Bachelor of Psychiatric Nursing program will have an advanced entry point into the BN program at the end of Semester 2. Graduates from other disciplines will be able to match individual course outcomes to facilitate the PLA process on an individual basis.

F. 7 Are current faculty able to deliver the program? Hnot, how do you plan to address this issue?

Current faculty are qualified to deliver the BN program. The minimum requirement for teaching in the BN program will be a Masters Degree in Nursing or a Related Field (doctoral preparation preferred). Selection criteria will be consistent with the current practices within the Faculty of Community & Health Studies. There are faculty members in the Faculty of C&HS who are qualified to teach in this program with additional support to develop on-line delivery competency. Due to operational demands for the current nursing programs, however, there is a need for recruitment. The development and implementation of this new degree program will provide regular employment for current NRI faculty members.

The on-line theory and distance delivery methods provide employment opportunities for experts in the field who are in full-time positions with the Health Authorities, and non-residents of the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. Resources and support to develop the on-line delivery components of the program will be required.

Although there is a faculty shortage for nursing program, Kwantlen has been successful in recruiting qualified faculty. To address the potential shortage, The Faculty of Community & Health Studies and Fraser Health



Authority are currently exploring the feasibility of creating 'joint-appointments' of Kwantlen faculty and FHA Nurse Educators. As well, The Faculty is proposing a Masters in Nursing Education, with a target date of 2012, which would also increase the number of qualified applicants to teach in the BN program.

G. Outcomes

G.1 Will this program allow students to continue with further study? Describe laddering, bridging, or post-credential continuation of education.

The BN program will be reviewed by both the College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia and the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing (CASN). Accreditation through CASN provides our graduates with the recognition that they are eligible to apply to graduate programs across Canada and the United States. Graduates will be encouraged to continue their education through graduate studies in many fields including Nursing and Nursing Education. As discussed in F.7, students will be encouraged to continue into Masters degrees as prospective faculty members for Kwantlen's Community & Health Studies' programs.

G.2 What is the nature of the work students are being prepared for? Include current labour market data that shows a demand for this type of graduate.

Graduates of the BN will be prepared to work as professional nurses in roles of direct care provider, educator, clinician, researcher, manager, and I or entrepreneur. Graduates will meet all of the competencies required by the CRNBC and be eligible to write the national registration exams for nurses in Canada. As discussed previously, the shortage of nurses in the Canadian Health Care system is well documented and this shortage is expected to continue.

The Fraser Health Authority (FHA) provides the majority of health care services in the Kwantlen region. The FHA projects that the demand for health services will increase in number and complexity as the regional population continues to grow and demographics change, and an additional 20% increase in Registered Nurses is expected (FHA Service Plan 2007 I 2008).

Initial contacts have also been made with the Fraser, Provincial, and Vancouver Coastal Health Authorities, who are pleased to see another nursing program to address the nursing shortages they are experiencing, but formal responses have not yet been received.

I. Institutional Resources (Degree FPP section 8. Program Resources)

1.1 What expertise, equipment, facilities and library resources will the program require to support student learning? Ensure that any required new resources in these areas are identified in the Costs



section (I).

Expertise, equipment, facilities, and library resources will be the same as for the current BSN program. These include admissions support, counseling services, student learning center, and all other support services within Kwantlen. The additional intake of 40 students per year (120 students when program is fully implemented) will increase the requirements of each resource. The on-line format of much of the BN has a decreased demand on the facilities and classroom requirements than traditional programs. It will require, however, and increase in IET support.

Transitional funding of $45,000 has been provided in the Kwantlen 2009 I 2010 budget for the development of this program and funding for an additional lab instructor has been included in the ongoing budget.

1.2 Outline anticipated requirements for equipment, specialized space, etc.: (classrooms, labs, shops, general space)

Labs and equipment, simulation equipment, and classroom needs will be the same as for the current nursing programs. An additional lab instructor will be required during the Residency Consolidation period as well as additional supplies for the labs, and offices. Scheduling will need to be organized in a collaborative way to maximize the effective use of these resources. This will include evening and weekend classrooms, labs, and clinical practice settings. Space for classrooms, labs, and offices will need to be found in existing areas. The online format of most of this program decreases the requirements for additional office space and classrooms.

Appendix A Internal Consultations

CONTACT LOCAL

(Is this concept supported by the department? Will this program have an impact on another program, or vice versa? Have you contacted those departments, and have arrangements been made re service courses? Has the proposal been approved by the Faculty Council?)

Nursing Resource Center - It has been identified that additional resources will be required for the consolidation components of the BN program. We are currently planning the development of a new nursing lab as well as recruitment of an additional laboratory assistant.

CAHS programs - The development of the BN program has been discussed with the other CAHS programs in a number of formats including faculty meetings, Faculty Council meetings, coordinators meetings, and the concept proposal has been discussed and approved by the CAHS Curriculum Committee. A search for faculty time release for curriculum development for the BN program has recently been posted.

Facilities - Karen Hearn - Additional nursing lab requirements were discussed. Theory components for the program are on-line and practice components are off-site, so classroom requirements will be minimal.

Marketing - initial discussion regarding new program with marketing department.

Biology - initial discussion, additional consultation is required.

Bookstore - Initial contact has been made - awaiting response

Lyn Benn - Lyn suggests that there are a couple of ways that BN students may be supported by Students Development and Success services. First, through time management strategies, stress relief and on on-line helpline to facilitate this. She suggests this be initiated early on in the program so that students can get hints through the Learning Center and Counseling Services. Her second suggestion is for a tailored writing resource (on-line) where students may submit their writing and receive support to enhance these skills.

Registrar Services (Admissions, Records & Graduation)

Director, Registrar Services

2463

Zena Mitchell - Zena is very supportive and brings up a number of considerations. We will need to start accepting applications as soon as the program is approved. The comparison with the current program at UBC brings up a concern that our program is longer and requires more credits for Admission. We will need to explore resources with Homestay Services in the event that students do not reside in the Lower Mainland I Fraser Valley. The transfer credit for Anatomy and Physiology courses from other institutions will need to be facilitated and Zena has identified that .25 FTE Admissions Assistant will be required to manage the program.

Enrolment Services (program advising & student loan eligibility; )

Initial contact has been made - awaiting response

B.A. Advisor (for B.A. degrees only - verify that program conforms with B.A. Framework)

Initial contact has been made - awaiting response

Enrolment Support & Retention (scheduling and registration)

Warren Stokes - very interested in the program. Sees no problems or issues that would prevent the program from going ahead as planned. He suggests that we need to ensure our articulation of transfer credits, etc. in place before students are admitted to the program (to be discussed with Josh Mitchell- above) and to be clear about pre and corequisites.

Also suggests we need to confirm with Zena Mitchell regarding the Admissions process and that the first semester course outlines will need to be cleared through Senate before January, 2010 (see timeline).

Consultation with Meg Goodine and Sue Birtwell

As there will be many on-line components of this program, close consultation is required. It is recommended that Sue work with the faculty group on planning for the overall program goals and objectives and how the courses in the program will be planned, coordinated and integrated to meet these objectives. (.5 for one semester or .25 for two semesters $16,500).

Faculty development orientation and Moodle workshops will also be required (2 weeks at $2200 per week)

Total will be approximately $21,000 start up requirements and ongoing support would be approximately $5,000 per year.

Summary:

Part B (

This impact assessment has been based on the information available. It is possible that, as course outlines and specific curriculum are developed, we will need to provide further resources to successfully support this program. The Library supports the development and implementation of the proposed Bachelor of Nursing (second degree). Because Kwantlen already has nursing programs in place the impact on Library resources and services should be minimal. Our collection building for this program would be mainly electronic sources in order to provide support to students and faculty in this program. The Library will continue to work with the department to ensure that all our resources and services remain current and effective

GNUR program changes

The following recommendations have been approved by the Faculty of Community & Health Studies Curriculum Committee and are being forwarded to SSCC for approval.

The Graduate Nurse Re-Entry program be revised to

1. Reduce the total program credits from 20.0 to 15.0

2. Include the following courses: GNUR 1120; GNUR 1104; GNUR 1180; and, GNUR 1210.

Background:

The current Graduate Nurse Re-Entry program requires GNUR 1110, an 8 credit online theory course that is self paced and self directed. This credit value does not reflect the content covered in the course. A new 3 credit course, GNUR 1120 has been approved by the C&HS Curriculum Committee which is a more accurate reflection of the content covered in the on-line, self-paced course. When comparing this course to similar

courses at other post-secondary institutions having the same content, the credit allocation for their courses is 3.

A second requirement in the Graduate Nurse Re-Entry program is GNEA 1104. This course is designed to be offered in a mixed mode, including on-site and on-line learning activities. Given that the GNUR program is distance, the course is not appropriate for the students. A new course, GNUR 1104 has been approved by the

C&HS Curriculum Committee, which is a self-paced course delivered fully on-line with tutor support -consistent with the other distance delivery courses in the Program. GNUR 1104 would replace GNEA 1104.

These program revisions will mean that students will be receiving quality Citation level education for less

money. The revisions will also make Kwantlen competitive with other Re-Entry programs in British Columbia.

Implementation target date is October 2009.

RE: Revision to BBA and BTECH Year 1 Program Entrance Requirements

MEMORANDUM

The School of Business is requesting the review and approval of a program revision for the Bachelor of Business Administration Accounting, Entrepreneurial Leadership, Human Resources Management, and Bachelor of Information Technology degrees. The proposed program revision was approved at the April 17th, 2009 School of Business Divisional Curriculum Committee meeting.

The rationale for this request is that these program revisions will give students greater access to our degree programs at Year 1. Should a student not wish to continue in the degree program after completing Year 1 and 2, they may still exit after completing Year 2 with a diploma.

The requested implementation date is September 2009.

Revision: Please note the revision to the Year 1 Entrance Requirements to all Bachelor of Business Administration and Bachelor of Information Technology programs. Before Revision Year 1 Entrance Requirements for:

Bachelor of Business Administration Accounting Bachelor of Business Administration Entrepreneurial Leadership Bachelor of Business Administration Human Resources Management Bachelor of Information Technology

• Continuance Requirements for students admitted to Year 1 of the program, continuation after achieving 60 credits requires: • Program GPA of at least 2.7 • C+ or better in accounting, and a C+ or better in statistics • Successful completion of the first year English and Applied Communications requirements

BBA Degree admission requirements into Year 3 (for students who have completed (a) business related diploma (b) block transfer or (c) sixty (60) credits plus bridging refer to the scenario detailed below.

• Apply for acceptance in Year 3 meeting the BBA ENTR & HRMT entrance requirements: • Upon completion of two years of study, the admission requirements are met by one of the

following: • Completion of a business-related diploma from a recognized college or university, with a

minimum of 60 credits, a cumulative GPA of 2.7 or higher, and a C+ or higher in Accounting and Statistics

• Completion of 60 transferable credits at the undergraduate level from any recognized college, including the required six bridging courses, or transferable equivalents, with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.7 and with a C+ in Accounting and Statistics.

• Apply for acceptance in Year 3 meeting the BBA ACCT entrance requirements: • Completion of an Accounting Diploma (60 credits) form a recognized post secondary

institution with a GPA of 2.7 is required as a program prerequisite. There is no bridging program.

• Apply for acceptance in Year 3 meeting the BTECH entrance requirements: • Completion of a CISY diploma program, or equivalent qualification from other institutions

with a GPA of 2.7 • Students who do not have a two-year computing-related diploma may meet the admission

requirements if they have completed 60 university transferable credits from any recognized institution with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.7 including the five required bridging courses or transferable equivalents with a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.7

CC: Paul Leigh, Chair Entrepreneurial Leadership, Sigrid Ewender, Chair Economics

RE: Program Revision BBA Entrepreneurial Leadership Degree

On March 131h, 2009, the School of Business Curriculum Committee approved the program revision to the

BBA Entrepreneurial Leadership Degree to include ECON 3150 Managerial Economics as an option in addition to ENTR 3150 Business Economics (see table below).

Prior to this change, students were required to take one economics course, ENTR 3150 (Business Economics), in their degree. The inclusion of the course ECON 3150 would provide an additional option for students. Students would then have a choice between two different economics courses (either ENTR 3150 or ECON 3150) to satisfy their economics requirement.

ECON 3150, requires students to have ECON 1150, ECON 1250 and a statistics course as a prerequisite. While course topics are very similar to ENTR 3150, ECON 3150 incorporates a slightly higher degree of quantitative analysis and the use of Excel spreadsheets. The requested implementation date is September 2009.

MEMORANDUM

FROM: Wayne Tebb, Chair School of Business Divisional Curriculum Committee

CC: Andy Law, Chair of Computer Science and Information Systems (CSIS)

RE: Program Revision Computer Information Systems (CISY) Certificate

We are seeking approval for the revision of the Computer Information Systems (CISY) Certificate program.

Rationale and Support

• It has been discovered that students of the CISY certificate program require a guided study plan. A cohort CISY certificate program will help the students succeed in completing their study in 2 semesters.

• In the current CISY certificate program, students are required to take 7 CISY courses and complete any 3 of 7 recommended non-CISY courses. In the revised program, students are required to take the same number of CISY courses, but the 3 non-CISY courses will be assigned by the department. In addition, the courses are scheduled in a cohort mode.

o We propose to replace CISY2311 (C/C++ programming) with CISY2411 (GUI and ObjectOriented Programming). CISY2411, which covers the Java Programming language, will prepare students for better employment opportunities and for a degree program such as BTech (IT).

o We also propose to assign the following 3 non-CISY courses:

• ACCT1230, Business Statistics, will provide students with the training in data collection and analytical skills which are essential skills of IT practitioners.

• CMNS1140, Business and Technical Communications, will give students the knowledge and techniques in both verbal and written communications which are demanded by today's IT employers for IT graduates.

SUBJECT: Name Change for Auto Parts Foundation Certificate Program

I Memorandum I

College of Trades & Technology

Please accept this as my request to officially change the name of the Automotive Parts Foundation to Parts and Warehousing.

My rationale for this request is to reflect the name and curriculum changes implemented by the Automotive Training Standards Organization in conjunction with the IT A.

It is also necessary to have the program name change formalized in our Banner system as graduates from the program are still being issued Certificates with the old nomenclature and any training information from our records department will reflect the incorrect (and no longer valid) program. This can impact students who need to verify training to the ITA and employers.

I hope to have these changes in effect as soon as possible. This request has been presented and passed at the Faculty of Trades and Technology Curriculum meeting held April 20, 2009.

Thank you for your consideration of the above.

TO: Senate Standing Committee on Curriculum

cc:

FROM: Dana Goedbloed, Dean

Faculty of Trades and Technology

DATE: April 2, 2009

SUBJECT: Request for continuance of variance

Please accept this memo as follow up to an Education Council approved variance request dated February 21, 2006 that temporarily allowed the Faculty of Trades and Technology to develop and implement course outlines for credential recognition without Full Program Proposals.

We are requesting a further variance be granted as the Faculty continues to develop a Diploma in Trades framework and Full Program Proposals (FPP). We will be developing one FPP for a Diploma in Trades, with specialties (e.g., Carpentry, Millwright, Welding, etc.) for each of the trade programs. The timeframe for the development is expected by spring 2010.

BACKGROUND:

From 2005 until 2008 the Industry Training Authority (ITA), the governing body responsible for trades and apprenticeship education in BC reported to the Ministry of Economic Development where the primary focus was on increasing student participation, not on development of educational pathways. This model of governance impeded the ability of the Faculty of Trades and Technology to implement the framework approved by Education Council in March 2005 and substantially changed the intent of the document. In 2008 the ITA was returned to the Ministry of Advanced Education and Labour Market Development, allowing for a more stable environment and the ability to address educational pathways.

MOTION

That Senate Standing Committee on Curriculum recommends allowing the development of course outlines for trades programs prior to the approval of a framework and FPP for a Diploma in Trades which is expected in Spring 2010.

Thank you for your approval

11.1

Dana Goedbloed

For Approval: THAT Senate approve the revisions of policy B. 12 Program Review.


Policy 8.12 - Program Review

Reviewed by: Senate Standing Committee on Program Review

Responsibility: Vice President Academic

Purpose/Rationale

Kwantlen Polytechnic University's educational offerings are reviewed regularly for their educational quality through a collaborative, systematic, evidence-based examination of a program. Program review provides an opportunity to identify and promote specific aspects of educational excellence within a program, and to identify opportunities to improve program quality.

Scope

This policy applies to educational programs and units of study under the governance of Senate.

Principles

1. All programs/units of study will be scheduled for review on a regular basis. Degree programs will undergo review at least once every five years and all other non-degree programs/units of study will undergo review at least once every seven years.

2. The schedule for program reviews will be updated on a yearly basis. 3. A program review will normally be completed within 12 months of its commencement. 4. Program review will include:

a. an internal self-study, undertaken by program faculty and administration, which systematically reviews and generates a report on program strengths, weaknesses, needs, and recommendations for future quality improvement. Selfstudy will be comprehensive and evidence-based, and will include the use of a broad range of indicators as appropriate to the context of the program/unit of study under review.

b. an external review, undertaken by a panel of two external members and one faculty member from a different department at Kwantlen. This external review will include a site visit and input from students, faculty, staff, administration, and representatives from external stakeholder groups. It will result in a report that identifies strengths and recommendations for future quality improvement.

c. a final report, which includes a summary of the self-study, external review findings, and recommendations for future quality assurance.

d. an institutional response to these findings and recommendations, including a report to Senate upon completion of the review, follow-up through the Dean's Office, in conjunction with the VP Academic, and an update to Senate on the implementation of the recommendations within one year .
