History
Bachelor of Nursing (Collaborative) Degree Program at Western Regional
School of Nursing
Please refer to Degree Regulations, School of Nursing.
The College, a campus of Memorial University of Newfoundland, was established in September 1975. In 1979 it was named Sir Wilfred Grenfell College honouring the memory of the medical missionary who pioneered medicine in northern Newfoundland and along the coast of Labrador until his death in 1940.
Four year degree programs in arts, science, nursing and fine arts may be completed at Sir Wilfred Grenfell College. The Bachelor of Arts degree is available in environmental studies, English, historical studies, humanities, social/cultural studies, and psychology, and the Bachelor of Arts (Honours) may be obtained in psychology. The Bachelor of Science and Bachelor of Science (Honours) are offered in environmental science and psychology, and the University's four year Bachelor of Nursing degree is offered in conjunction with the Western Regional School of Nursing in Corner Brook. Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees are conferred in visual arts and theatre. Most of these programs are different from programs offered on the St. John's campus and most are available only at Sir Wilfred Grenfell College.
Students may complete the first two years of the University of New Brunswick's forest resource program at Sir Wilfred Grenfell College. In addition students may complete their first year in all programs offered at the St. John's campus (except music). With the exception of education, social work, pharmacy and medicine, students who wish to continue their education in one of the University's professional schools normally transfer to the St. John's campus after one year. Students who wish to pursue a degree in music are advised to proceed directly to the St. John's campus for their first year of university studies.
The School of Continuing Education offers distance education courses in Corner Brook and in northern and western Newfoundland and Labrador. The Division of Community Education and College Relations also offers a wide variety of non-credit courses to the students at the College and to the general public.
The College campus affords a spectacular view of the city of Corner Brook and the scenic Bay of Islands. The Arts and Science Building houses administrative and academic units, a bookstore, an athletics and recreation wing, a student residence and the Student Centre. The Library and Computing Building includes the Ferriss Hodgett Library, a computer lab and a high tech lecture theatre. The Fine Arts Building contains facilities for students of theatre and visual arts, the college community and the general public. It features a 225 seat "black box" theatre, dressing rooms, scenery, costume and properties workshops, as well as an actors' green room and a rehearsal hall. The Fine Arts Building also includes an art gallery, art storage vault, studios for drawing, painting, sculpture, multi-media and photography, darkrooms, and workshops for lithography, intaglio and serigraphy. The Forest Centre is a shared facility housing the College's forestry program as well as the Newfoundland Division of the Canadian Forestry Service and the Western Newfoundland Model Forest Incorporated. All campus buildings are connected, mostly by skywalks.
The Department of Student Affairs and Services is concerned with all aspects
of student life at Sir Wilfred Grenfell College.
Staff in the Department are involved in a wide range
of programs, services and activities designed to help students be
successful academically and enhance well-being, personal, and social
development. These services include but are not limited to:
- Student Employment programs
- Scholarships and Awards (students are encouraged to
consult the Scholarships and Awards section of the Calendar)
- Orientation
- Student Recreation & Wellness
- Campus Ministry
Students are encouraged to bring to Student Affairs and
Services all concerns associated with life at university. The Department
is always interested in hearing suggestions for new programs and services
which will meet students’ needs.
Student Affairs and Services is located in the Student
Services Centre, AS 233 at Sir Wilfred Grenfell College. Tel: (709)

which is utilized by many students at Sir Wilfred Grenfell College
is the Learning Centre. The Centre is a one-stop shop, assisting students
with career planning, providing writing and Math help, a Peer Tutoring
program and running the Supplemental Instruction program. The Co-ordinator
of the Learning Centre is also responsible for helping students who require
accommodations because of a disability.
The Learning Centre is located in the Student Services
Centre in the Arts and Science Building.
STUDENT HOUSING
Student Housing is also under the jurisdiction of Student
Affairs and Services. Staff in the Housing Office manage the 191

GRENFELL COLLEGE STUDENT UNION
The Grenfell College Student Union (GCSU), Local 136, CFS, represents students' interests to the College administration and on a provincial and national level through the Canadian Federation of Students. The GCSU also promotes artistic, literary, educational, social, recreational, charitable, and sporting activities for the enhancement of the students of the College.
All full and part-time students pay GCSU fees and upon registration become members of the Grenfell College Student Union.
The College has two professional counsellors available to assist students with their concerns. The counsellors provide a free and confidential service that includes career, academic, and personal counselling. The counsellors meet with their clients individually and assist them with a wide range of concerns. When necessary, the counsellors can arrange referrals to other professionals in the community.
The Ferriss Hodgett Library is located on levels 2 and 3 of the Library & Computing Building, with seating for 203 users and includes group study rooms, audio-visual and computer carrels.
The Library holds over 100,000 books and 450 current subscriptions, along with collections of audio-visual materials, government documents, microforms and periodicals, and access to many e-journals.
A full range of public services is available including reference assistance, orientation tours and interlibrary loans, as well as access to electronic information resources, internet, spreadsheet, word processing and presentation software.
As a branch of the University Library, the Ferriss Hodgett Library also provides its users with access to the collections and services of all other Memorial University of Newfoundland libraries.
Sir Wilfred Grenfell College, as part of Memorial University of Newfoundland, is a four-year undergraduate degree-granting institution offering a liberal education in arts and science and a professional education in nursing, theatre and visual arts. In addition, the College continues to accommodate students who wish to complete their degrees at Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John's or at universities elsewhere.
At Sir Wilfred Grenfell College a liberal education means a critical and open-minded pursuit of knowledge providing students with the intellectual tools to enable them to respond to a rapidly changing world. A liberal education marks the start of preparation for a career and it may lead to graduate work in a number of fields. In a broader sense it is intended to build a foundation for social, cultural and recreational interests that will help students move toward a meaningful personal and professional life. Academically, the aim of Sir Wilfred Grenfell College is to enable students to be open to new ways of thinking and to gain a lasting intellectual self-confidence so that they may have both the ability and the desire to be life-long learners.
At Sir Wilfred Grenfell College the goal of high quality education is reflected in the following commitments:
- to teach students in a variety of challenging contexts and in general
provide them with a personalized learning environment;
- to maintain high academic standards;
- to foster excellence in teaching,
to encourage scholarship, research, performance and artistic
endeavour, and to engage students, where appropriate,
in these activities.

Degree Regulations
Program Structure
The Bachelor of Fine Arts (Theatre) program is designed to educate and train the student in the history, theory and practice of the theatre arts. The degree provides an undergraduate training, delivered by theatre professionals, that will prepare students to enter a professional graduate school of theatre, theatre conservatory or an apprenticeship in the theatre profession. The degree also provides a broad liberal arts education with a strong component of dramatic literature, enabling the graduate to pursue a variety of careers outside the theatre profession.
In recognition of the relative isolation of the Sir Wilfred Grenfell Campus and the need for students of the performing arts to be exposed to examples of excellence in their field of study, provision will be made for students in their senior years to visit major theatre centres outside the province (e.g. the Harlow Campus will be utilized for studies in London and Stratford).
1. Academic Requirements
Applicants must meet the general admission requirements of the University.
2. Audition
In addition to meeting the general admission requirements of the University, applicants for the Bachelor of Fine Arts (Theatre) must undergo an audition/interview to the satisfaction of the department. Enrollment in the Bachelor of Fine Arts (Theatre) is limited and selection is competitive.
3. The deadline for submission of Theatre application forms is April 30th of the year in which admission is sought.
1. Attendance and participation in all studio courses and production rehearsals is vital to the collaborative nature of the program of study in Theatre. Absence from classes or rehearsals of any one student could jeopardize a production, the proper dissemination of practical skills and the overall safety of the students. Therefore attendance at all studio classes, rehearsals and crew calls will be compulsory.
2. Students who fail a studio course shall not take more advanced courses in that discipline until the failed course has been satisfactorily completed.
3. Students shall complete all 1000 level Theatre courses before advancing to any 2000 level Theatre course.
4. A candidate whose average in the Theatre courses for the BFA degree falls below 65 percent in any semester will be placed on probation within the program. A student placed on probation at the end of the final semester of the Theatre program will not be recommended for graduation.
5. A candidate will be required to withdraw from the program if the candidate's average in Theatre courses falls below 65 percent in each of two consecutive semesters of his/her enrollment in the program.

The Bachelor of Fine Arts (Visual Arts) degree program is a professional program designed to educate and train the student in the history, theory and practice of the Visual Arts. Courses are offered in Drawing, Painting, Sculpture, Printmaking, Photography, Multi-media, Digital Imaging and Digital Multi-Media, and Art History. The curriculum is devised with the aim of producing well-rounded generalists with a solid grounding in all aspects of the Visual Arts. It illustrates the philosophy that artistic freedom and creative expression require both technical skill and intellectual vision, acquired through a disciplined application of effort and a critical awareness of artistic issues, past and present.
In addition to Studio and Art History courses, the student will take a number of appropriate academic courses from disciplines other than Visual Arts, chosen in consultation with the program chair. It is intended that academic courses be chosen which will enhance the Bachelor of Fine Arts (Visual Arts) program and provide, as far as possible, a broad exposure to the liberal arts. The first year of the program consists of intensive foundation of co-requisite courses in Drawing, Two-Dimensional Design and Three-Dimensional Design in preparation for Introductory studio courses in the second year and intermediate studio courses in the third year. In the fourth year, the 4950/4951 studio courses are conducted as tutorials, that is, students will work independently on projects and confer regularly with instructors.
It is recognized that students in the Bachelor of Fine Arts (Visual Arts) program must have occasional opportunities to view important works of art first-hand. Arrangements will therefore be made where possible for students to visit major art centres.
1. Academic Requirements
Applicants must meet the general admission requirements of the University.
2. Portfolio Submission
In addition to meeting the general admission requirements of the University, all applicants will be required to submit a portfolio of previous art work and a completed Visual Arts application form before April 15th of the year in which entry is sought. Although it is assumed that applicants will have had no previous formal training in art, evidence of suitability for study in the visual arts is required. Instructions for the submission of portfolios will be provided by the Fine Arts Division upon request. Enrollment in the Bachelor of Fine Arts (Visual Arts) program is limited and selection is competitive.
3. Transfers from other universities/colleges
See UNIVERSITY REGULATIONS - ADMISSION/READMISSION TO THE UNIVERSITY (UNDERGRADUATE)
