BOARD O F TRUSTEES

[September 15

4. A beginning date for receipt of applications and a beginning date for actions on applications will be established for each campus. The number of students who can be admitted to any college or curriculum is limited, and for each college or curriculum the following procedural rules apply for filling spaces other than those reserved (as in paragraphs 5 and 6 below) for special programs: if by the beginning date for action on applications, the number of qualified applicants does not exceed the number which can be approved, then all of those applicants will be approved and subsequent qualified applicants will be approved in the order of receipt of their completed applications; on the other hand, if by the beginning date for action on applications, the number of qualified applicants exceeds the number that can be approved, those best qualified will be approved. 5. For experimental and special programs, spaces may be reserved at each campus for applicants of different qualifications, not to exceed ten per cent of the previous fall-term entering freshman class on that campus. 6. A limited number of spaces may be reserved at each campus for applicants entering programs for which admissions decisions must be delayed. I recommend approval.

O n motion of M r . Stone, this recommendation was approved. Board of Trustees minutes, September 12, 1973, pages 355-356.

MODIFICATION OF FRESHMAN ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS FOR NONRESIDENTS OF ILLINOIS (17) On recommendation of the University Committee on Admissions, the Senates at Chicago Circle and Urbana-Champaign have recommended a modification in the freshman admission requirements for nonresidents of Illinois. T h e present policy for admission of beginning freshmen who are nonresidents of Illinois, adopted by the Board of Trustees on July 22, 1964, is as follows: " I n addition to all other requirements for admission to the college and curriculum of his choice, a nonresident of Illinois must rank at least in the highest quarter of his high school graduating class to be admitted to any curriculum in the University." Currently some colleges and programs accept all resident applicants who meet minimum qualifications and still have spaces available. Additional students could be handled using the same resources required for teaching residents of Illinois. Under these circumstances, nonresidents of Illinois who meet the same requirements for admission as residents should have the opportunity of obtaining admission. Accordingly, it is recommended that the current policy be modified, effective for admission to the 1973-74 second semester or winter quarter and thereafter, by the following addition: In those colleges and programs in which spaces are adequate to admit all minimally qualified beginning freshman applicants who are residents of Illinois, however, applicants who are nonresidents of Illinois shall be admitted if space is available on the same basis as residents of Illinois. T h e Vice President for Academic Development and Coordination concurs. T h e University Senates Conference has indicated no further Senate jurisdiction is involved. I recommend approval.

O n motion of M r . H a h n , this recommendation was approved. Board of Trustees minutes, December 17, 1971, pages 466-467.
