Template 3: UC Regulation Changes
Proposal Description
R
http://www.canterbury.ac.nz/regulations/award/musb_regs.shtml
Purpose of the proposal
To amend the regulations of the Bachelor of Music.
Justification
The first two regulations for the Bachelor of Music are overly complex and have proved difficult for students to
understand. This proposal aims to clarify the regulations by using simpler wording, condensing Regulation 1
Requirements of the Degree and Regulation 2 Structure of the Degree into a single regulation and introducing a separate
Schedule of compulsory courses.
This will involve five separate changes: a change to collapse the first two regulations into one, the re-numbering of the
remaining regulations, the introduction of a new Schedule A (Compulsory Courses, the re-naming of the current
Schedule A (Majoring Requirements) as Schedule B, and the re-naming of the current Schedule B (Music courses) as
Schedule C
