• Have included references to the year courses are usually done in, while still leaving wiggle room (for part-time students, similarity to other degrees, etc.). Any stronger and I am unable to have the same pattern for other degrees. Is this strong enough? 
• Remember that there will also be a GUS-type graphic showing the allocation of courses by year and by trimester.
• All references to a specific course will include the full name and be linked to the outline
• Have moved the SARC 122 substitution option to supplementary information, as it broke the flow unnecessarily.
• I have replaced the numbering with (indented) bullets to signal the structure/logic but minimise the distraction. The numbering was only to aid conversation on which line was under discussion. This content doesn't imply anything about the final design/mark-up.
• Added the GES of 180 to the Entry Requirements section (easier to see in the wire frames), as it only differs from 150 for BAS and BBSc. It will augment or replace the standard 'university entrance' statement that we planned to use for all UG degrees.
  • Although some other UG degrees have other thresholds to get in (eg. auditions for the BMus), the BEd(Tchg)EC is the only UG degree with an entry requirements section, something common for the PG programmes.
• I have changed the way the 30 points of electives is expressed but am not entirely comfortable with it. There is no hard requirement to do one elective course (let alone for 1 points) in each of the 2nd and 3rd years, although this might be desirable. Would a student be allowed to do a 30 point course in the 2nd or 3rd year and no elective/7th course in the other year (assuming that the prerequisites were met)?

Entry Requirements

• Guaranteed Entry Score (GES) for the BAS is 180 points. Further information on the GES is available in the Admissions section.

Degree requirements

• Total of 360 points required (typically 120 points/year), including:
  • At least 270 points from courses listed for the BAS
  • At least 210 points from 200 and 300-level courses, including:
    • At least 180 points from courses listed for the BAS.
      
      • At least of 75 points from 300-level courses.
• Complete eight core courses at 100 level (usually in the first year):
  
  • SARC 111
  • SARC 112
  • SARC 121
  • SARC 122
  • SARC 131
  • SARC 151
  • SARC 161
  • SARC 162.
• Satisfy the requirements for one major (selected from the drop down list below).

Supplementary information

• BAS students share "a common first year . . interests and needs" (GUS, p.38)
• "Each major subject shares . . " (GUS, p.38)
• "No portfolio is required to . . " (GUS, p.38)
• Entry to the second year is based on academic performance across all the first year courses.
• SARC 122 may be replaced by an elective course by students who:
  
  1. Have at least 14 NCEA Level 3 credits in each of two of Calculus, Physics, and Statistics; or
  2. Plan to study Landscape Architecture or Architecture History and Theory. Students in this category are still recommended to complete SARC 122 to keep their second year options open.
• SARC 111 and SARC 161 may be replaced by DSDN 101 and DSDN 111 by students who plan to study Interior Architecture.
