Re: Kadenze

I wonder whether this partnership was discussed and approved at
the University Senate. Since it is clearly an academic program, instituting
it cannot be done legally without a Senate vote. If it was on the Senate's agenda and was voted on there then I wonder why no faculty Senator brought this to the attention of the academic-discussion forum. Am I missing something here?

Cheers,

The system will allow students to receive SFU academic credit for courses they take with recognized international institutions through the online portal. The program allows students to browse course offerings for free, then charges varying membership prices for services such as feedback on assignments or taking full-credit courses. Kadenze said that the cost of full courses starts at $300.
