466 BOARD OF TRUSTEES [December 17 4. In faculty housing a rate increase of $10 per month for new tenants will be effective September 1,1972. Alternatives to present services for undergraduate residence halls and rental rate increases for all housing units were discussed and formulated jointly by the Housing Division and the Student Advisory Council to the Director of Housing. 1 Present rates, implemented September 1, 1970, and those projected for the next two years are shown in a schedule being filed with the Secretary. It is anticipated that future rate adjustments, if required, will be on an annual basis instead of the previous two-year basis. T h e recommended increases are required because of rising costs of salaries and wages, food, supplies, utilities and other services. The increases are subject to any regulations issued by the federal price commission at the time of their implementation. (Note: Arrangements had been made for a representative of the Family Housing Council at Urbana to appear before the Board prior to the Trustees' receipt of this report of an administrative action. The group was unable to attend; however, a telegram expressing dissent from some of the aspects of the recommendation was received after the Board had considered the item. (President Corbally indicated that the group would be advised to consult with the housing officials at Urbana concerning the suggestions contained in their telegram. Following such consultation, a presentation to the Board of Trustees would be arranged in January if the Family Housing Council wished to make such an appearance.) CHANGES IN POLICIES FOR ADMISSION OF UNDERGRADUATE TRANSFER STUDENTS, CHICAGO CIRCLE AND URBANA (7) T h e Chicago Circle and Urbana-Champaign Senates have approved recommendations from the University Committee on Admissions establishing a general policy and modifying existing regulations concerning the minimum requirements for admissions, and the procedures for admitting undergraduate transfer students. While the general policy is the same for both campuses, the implementing procedures and regulations will reflect individual campus requirements. General Policy Urbana-Champaign T h e University shall give priority to those transfer applicants who are best qualified. When spaces are limited and applicants with equal qualifications are being considered, priority will be given to junior college and four-year college transfer applicants whose curriculum choice is not available at the institution from which they apply for transfer. Minimum Requirements at Urbana-Champaign Minimum requirements for the admission of transfer applicants to the UrbanaChampaign campus shall be (1) completion of an associate degree, or an equivalent number of acceptable credit hours (normally sixty semester or ninety quarter hours of credit), in a baccalaureate-oriented program and (2) a pretransfer gradepoint average of 3.25 (3.0 = C ) . Some curricula require a higher minimum gradepoint average. Transfer applicants to college, curricula, and levels for which a shortage of qualified applicants is anticipated may be admitted with the approval of the Dean of the College and the Director of Admissions and Records if (a) the applicant has completed an associate degree, or an equivalent number of credit hours, in a baccalaureate-oriented program, but has a pretransfer grade-point average below 3.25 but 3.0 or above, or (b) has the required 3.25 average, but has not completed an associate degree, or an equivalent number of hours, in a baccalaureate-oriented 1 The Student Advisory Council to the Director of Housing consists of representatives of various groups as follows: Undergraduate Residence Halls (nine) ; Graduate Residence Halls (two); Married Student Apartments (one from Family Housing Council); Undergraduate Student Association (two); Graduate Student Association (one); Southwest Campus Residents Association (three); Interfraternity Council (one); Panhellenic Council (one); Independent Housing Association (one); and private approved housing (one).
