1983] UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 357 Categories would also be established for the "second bachelor's degree" student and the "summer session only" student. The senate recommendations have been reviewed by the University Senates Conference. (Copies of the text of the senate actions follow for information.) The chancellor at Chicago Circle, the acting chancellor at Urbana-Champaign, and the vice president for academic affairs recommend approval. I concur. On motion of Mr. Neal, these recommendations were approved. Report of the Senate Committee on Student Admissions, Records, and College Relations (Approved by the Chicago Circle Senate, June 9,1977) Recommendations The crmmittee recommends that the current1 categories for admission be reorganized with the view toward consolidating and clarifying the classifications and providing a procedure for facilitating and encouraging the enrollment of students who may not wish to be degree candidates initially, yet who may benefit from the educational opportunities offered in both the day and extended-day offerings. 1. In place of the current categories, we propose to substitute the following: a. Degree candidates (1) Undergraduate (2) Graduate b. Nondegree registrants (1) Undergraduate (2) Graduate 2. Requirements for admissions of all degree candidates will include submission of appropriate credentials including high school transcripts, ACT or SAT scores, foreign school transcripts and scores on the TOEFL or ELI tests, records tests, records from other institutions in the case of transfer students as well as GRE scores, undergraduate transcripts, letters of recommendation, or other specific credentials for admission to degree programs in the Graduate College. These will be evaluated in the usual manner by the Office of Admissions and Records as well as by the colleges in the case of petition applicants and by the departments involved in the case of graduate applicants. Applicants who require a student visa must apply as degree candidates. 3. Degree-pursuing students will continue to be given priority during the registration process. Nondegree students present a different concern. Assuming this category will not be used to admit unqualified students, procedures must be established that require credentials which indicate the minimum qualifications necessary, yet which are not so onerous as to discourage application and subsequent enrollment. Admission to nondegree status on the undergraduate or graduate level, however, does not obligate the University to admit a student to a degree program. The following regulations apply to nondegree registrants: 1. Beginning freshmen may be admitted if they have been out of high school for a minimum of three years beyond the date when the students' high school class would have graduated and if they present evidence of a high school diploma or 1 Current categories for admission include: 1. Undergraduate 2. Graduate a. Full standing b. Limited standing c Nondegree 3. Irregular (undergraduate) 4. Unclassified S. Nondegree
