2006/2007
UWI TERTIARY LEVEL INSTITUTIONS UNIT
SUBMISSION TO THE BOARD FOR NON-CAMPUS COUNTRIES AND DISTANCE EDUCATION
MEETING OF MAY 07, 2007 IN THE BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS
General Recognition of Qualifications earned at selected TLIs
BACKGROUND:
At its meeting of May 16, 2003, the Board for Non-Campus Countries & Distance Education
received paper BNCC/DE P.13 (Revisiting Articulation and Recognition of Institutions) and
“agreed that there should be global acceptance of the standards achieved in those TLIs with
which the university had established a working relationship..” The Board endorsed the aim of
the TLIU’s recommendations and asked that the amended document be sent to BUS for its
approval. The amendments were made.
At its meeting of May 23, 2006, BUS P.40A “General Recognition of Qualifications Earned at
Selected TLIs” was considered. “The Board was asked to note that the paper had been
withdrawn to cross-check the approved institutions listed at the back of the Matriculation
Regulations” (Min. 70.7).
In response to these queries and suggestions from a subsequent meeting of BUS, the TLI Unit
revised Appendix I the UWI Compendium of General Regulations for Students (2003) to
incorporate the Associate Degrees in Arts and Sciences for the institutions identified by the
above recommendations. BNCC/DE P.5d was submitted at the BNCC/DE meeting of September
25, 2007. The Board suggested additional revisions and agreed that the reformatted paper should
be submitted to BUS.
Meanwhile, the Assistant Registrar; Marjorie E. Rose-Parks has indicated by letter of April 25,
2007, that BUS has approved the recommendations. (See attached letter).
UPDATE:
The Board for Non-Campus Countries and Distance Education (BNCC/DE) is asked to note that
the Board for Undergraduate Studies (BUS) has approved the recommendation that “Associate
