Wikipedia:WikiProject Education in Canada/U&C Structure Proposal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This is a proposed new structure guidelines for Universities and Colleges in Canada.
The article should start with a good introduction, giving the full complete official name of the college/university, detail about location (in suburb, downtown, where?), founder and founding name, and affiliation with any larger university system, if applicable. Give other names for which the university may be known (e.g. UO, and bold them, too). Also, add a few facts about the college/university that make it unique.
Next, there is a table about the college/university. A template for the table can be found at the bottom of this page.
Sections of the article:
- Campus -- Describe the overall shape and size of the campus. Mention any famous buildings and their architects.
- Organization -- Mention the administration, including leading officials. If this college/university has a special organizational structure, such as a residential college system, then it should be mentioned here. Then, in bullet point form, list the schools, colleges, etc. of this university. If appropriate, also list the faculties and departments at the university. If there is a special course system or requisits for enrollment, mention them here, too. If the university is part of a larger system (as in University of Toronto), mention this connection and provide requisite links.
- History -- Describe the history of the college/university, including noteworthy milestones in its development.
- Students and faculty -- State the number (and any other useful statistics) of the students. Distinguish between undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate students; also state the number of faculty members. Distinguish between tenure/nontenured, full- and part-time (if possible).
- Sports, clubs, and traditions -- Mention the sports team(s) of the college/university and what is notable about them. Here is also a good place to mention specific traditions of the college/university, like students' union activities, a student newspaper, fraternities, regular activities, etc. The heading may be changed accordingly in regard to the importance of sports, clubs, traditions, students' unions etc. For example, alternative headings could be Students' Union, Sports and Traditions or Students' Union Activities.
- Noted alumni -- Bullet list of Alumni that are notable/famous. Mention the graduation date and degree and give a short description why they are famous. Some have lists for this, if so, link to that list.
- Noted faculty -- Bullet list of active and former members of faculty that are notable. If they are alumni/alumnae, mention them here in parenthesis, including the degree and graduation date. For all give a short description why they are famous. Some have lists for this, if so, link to that list.
- External links -- Give a link to the website of the college/university, preferable in English language. Additional links are acceptable, so long as, they are in English, and they benefit the article as a whole. Do not link to individual campus groups or clubs.
