If a particular service is not fully described on our website, you will find the details below. Otherwise, clicking on the name of a service will take you to our website, where you will find all the pertinent information. Aboriginal Education & Community Connections Email: aboriginal@camosun.bc.ca Lansdowne Campus: E 272 Phone: 250-370-3299 Interurban Campus: CBA 128 Phone: 250-370-4870 Academic Advising Email: academicadvising@camosun.bc.ca Lansdowne Campus: ID Main floor Interurban Campus: LACC 2nd floor Academic Upgrading Help Academic Upgrading Help Centre Assessment Tests Some applicants to the college will be referred to the Assessment Centre to assess mathematics, reading and/or writing skills. Which tests the applicant writes will depend upon the applicant's educational background and the program of study the applicant wishes to pursue. Camosun College is concerned about students' opportunities for success and strongly recommends that students write English and/or mathematics assessments if their prerequisites are dated. A visit to the Assessment Centre is an important step because: • it will assist the student and the college to assess current academic skills; and, Interurban Campus: CBA 109 Phone: 250-370-3945 • it will enable the college to place students into the course level which will provide the best opportunity for success. President's Welcome Accident Insurance Out-of-Town Applicants Executive Assistant to the President Phone:250-370-3410 WorkSafeBC (WSBC) provides coverage to students who are injured during the offsite practicum component of their college programs for practica that occur within BC. The only exception is that WSBC coverage is extended to the college's on-site Dental Clinic practicum students, and to those who are enrolled in an Apprenticeship course. WSBC does not provide accident insurance for students, other than Apprenticeship, who are injured while participating in on-site classroom/lab/shop instruction. Students are advised to check with their Program Chair to ascertain if their practicum is covered by WSBC. College & Community Relations Phone: 250-370-4269 Because the MSP may only pay part of the medical costs incurred for student accidents which occur during classroom/lab/ shop instruction, all students are strongly urged to purchase private accident insurance which will compensate for the limited WSBC coverage. Assessment Centre Email: assessment@camosun.bc.ca Out-of-town applicants may arrange to write the tests at their local college. To have Camosun tests administered at other institutions, a non-refundable fee (payable in advance) is levied. Call 250‑370‑3597 or email assessment@camosun.bc.ca. Click here to access the form.

Further, the information is used for administrative and statistical research purposes of the college and/or the ministries or agencies of the Government of British Columbia and the Government of Canada. The information will be protected, used, and disclosed in compliance with the College and Institute Act and the Freedom of information and Privacy Act.

Brindle Privacy Officer Camosun College Phone: 250-370-3016 brindle@camosun.bc.ca Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) Policy Purpose/Rationale The purpose of this policy is to provide guidelines to determine equivalencies to the learning that students have acquired from past life or work experiences to formal college credits. Scope This policy applies to all current or prospective Camosun College students requesting formal assessment of learning acquired from prior life or work experiences for college-level credit. Principles Definitions Camosun College recognizes that learning which some students acquire from their life and work experiences may be equivalent to college-level learning. Base Funded Courses: provincially subsidized programming that accommodates the general needs of the public. Opportunities to acquire credit in a module, course or program through assessment of learning gained from prior life or work experiences may be offered to students. Formal credit for learning that has been assessed as equivalent to Camosun College courses and programs is granted as follows: • it is considered Camosun College resident credit; and, • it is given a grade which is recorded on college transcripts as a regular course without being identified as PLA credit. Grading is as per the college's grading system, which is published in the college calendar. If the grading is by letter grade, it is calculated into the college GPA. A successful assessment of prior learning will apply to only the designated module or course and will not constitute completion of any prerequisites for other modules, courses or programs. PLA processes are developed and implemented by the department or discipline in which the credit is sought. PLA processes will include assessment of performance on the full range of theoretical and practical learning outcomes of a module or course. Students will request or be requested to document their learning of specific knowledge, skills and values related to the course or program learning outcomes, objectives or competencies for which credit is requested. Documentation must support learning statements and may include and not be restricted to the following: • personal profiles and portfolios; • non-credit certificates/diplomas; • work products and artifacts; • course challenges (written, oral, performance examinations [e.g., laboratory, clinical, work-site], product assessment, standardized exams); Non-base Funded Courses: programming that is not provincially subsidized; the program fees are determined by the delivery costs of the program. Official Course Withdrawal: withdrawal from a course after the fee deadline and before 66% of the course has been completed, as per the Course Withdrawal Policy. Resident Credit: resident credit is equivalent to having earned the credit at Camosun College for graduation purposes. Academic Term: a period equal to the normal duration of the course. Procedures Application Having decided to apply for prior learning assessment of a module or course, students must: • Begin the PLA application process before or up to and including the first week of the commencement of the regular (nonPLA) course. Exceptions may be made at the discretion of the Chair or Program Leader of the department. • Consult with the Enrolment Services Office to determine whether they meet: • requirements; and, • the prerequisite requirements. • Obtain a 'Prior Learning Assessment Application' form from the Enrolment Services office. • Contact the department offering the course for which they wish to have a prior learning assessment and schedule an advisory session with the Chair or Program Leader to discuss suitability. Bring the 'Prior Learning Assessment Application' form to the session. If a PLA is determined to be suitable, students must: • performance evaluations (e.g., roleplays; live, video or audio presentations; lab demonstrations; simulations; worksite demonstrations); and • Obtain the departmental signature approving the PLA module or course and the start and end dates. Start and end dates for the PLA course are mutually agreed upon by the faculty member and the student. • documented learning from life and work experiences and accomplishments. • For a 'Prior Learning Assessment Application' form, click here. • SEND EMAIL   VISIT US ON THE WEB     15 Fees Student Evaluation Procedure Final Examinations Base-funded PLA courses: Tuition fees are assessed at 50% of the current college approved rate. Applicable levy fees are assessed by the Enrolment Services office. Each college instructor will provide each student in his/her class with a course outline which includes the evaluation process during the first meeting with that class. If a final examination will be used as a part of the formal evaluation, it must be specifically identified at this time. All final exams will occur during the final exam period. Students are expected to write tests and final examinations at the scheduled time and place. Final exam schedules will be posted. Where possible, students will write no more than two final examinations on the same day. Grade Changes Where a student has more than two final exams scheduled on one day, the student is to contact the instructor(s) to discuss alternate arrangements. Non base-funded PLA courses: Tuition fees are established by the department offering the program or course. PLA fees are non-refundable. Special consideration of a refund may be given in extenuating medical or compassionate circumstances as per the Course Withdrawal Policy. Withdrawal Once registered in a PLA module or course, students may withdraw according to guidelines established in the Course Withdrawal Policy; however, course withdrawal is not permitted for PLA courses of one week's duration or less. Grading Upon completion of a PLA module or course: • Students are entitled to an interview with a faculty member to review their course performance; • A final grade will be awarded, submitted to Student Records by the faculty member, and entered on the student's transcript regardless of the grade received. Repeating a Course Any student who has previously taken a regular (non-PLA) module or course or module, whether successful or unsuccessful, cannot be assessed for prior learning for that same course until at least one full academic term has elapsed (see definition). Once this period has elapsed, the student must be able to demonstrate to the Chair or Program Leader additional learning acquired which supports his/her PLA application. Student Appeals Students who wish to appeal decisions regarding final grades must refer to the Student Appeal Policy. Standards of Academic Progress Each school has standards of academic progress that students should familiarize themselves with upon enrolment in a program or course. These Standards of Academic Progress statements can be found in each school's chapter. For further information on the Camosun College Academic Progress Policy, click here. 16 1-877-554-7555 There are special circumstances for which grades can be changed (e.g., when there has been a grade appeal or in the case where an "I" grade has been assigned awaiting completion of outstanding requirements). Other than in the case of an "I", grade changes after initial submission by instructors require approval of the Dean. "I" grades will be accompanied by a form which describes the outstanding requirements for course completion. The instructor will provide a copy of this form to the student and the school office. Any "I" grade that has not been changed after the sixweek period will be converted to an "F" grade. Extensions to this six‑week period will be considered only for exceptional reasons and will require written approval of the Dean. Promotion In most cases a "C" or "COM" grade is required to move to the next level of study. However, some programs and/or courses require a higher level of achievement before a student can progress. Where a higher level of achievement is required it will be clearly outlined in the Course Description chapter of the Camosun College credit calendar. A grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 is normally required to graduate from a Camosun College program. Where a higher GPA is required for graduation, it will be published in the Camosun College credit calendar. Grade Notification It is the responsibility of instructors to notify students of their grades. Generally, instructors post grades outside their offices or in the education school office. Instructors will advise as to the particular location. Grades will be posted using Student Numbers. Students with a Camlink account will be able to check their grades online using Camlink. Note: If students are unable to access their grades via the web, a restriction may have been placed on their student record. See the "Student File Restrictions" section of this calendar, and contact Student Services for further information. LANSDOWNE ph 250-370-3550 • fax 250-370-3551 In emergency circumstances, a student may write a test or final examination before or after the scheduled time if the student would otherwise be unable to complete the program or course. Exceptions due to emergency circumstances, such as unavoidable employment commitments, health problems, or unavoidable family crises, require the approval of the appropriate instructor. Holidays or scheduled flights are not considered to be emergencies. The student may be required to provide verification of the emergency circumstance. Invigilators will inform students of any rule which may apply to the conduct of a specific examination. This may include, but is not limited to, rules for the following: • the consumption of food or beverages within the final examination room; • late entry to the final examination room thirty minutes after the scheduled commencement of the examination; • students leaving during the first 30 minutes of the examination; • the use of calculators, cell phones, terminals or other information-processing devices; • the access to washroom facilities during the final examination; • the use of supplementary books, manuals or reference sources; • the use of previously completed course material, studio or shop projects or experiments; and, • the provision of special arrangements for any disabled students. Retention of Records All instructors' records of all student marks (e.g., marks, books, breakdowns of marks) shall be retained by the instructional area for 12 months after the conclusion of a course. Final examination papers are the property of Camosun College. For the purposes of appeal, all major examination papers or assignments not returned to students must be retained by the instruction area for 12 months after the submission of the final grade. INTERURBAN ph 250-370-3550 • fax 250-370-3750 All students will be given the opportunity to review their final examination papers, but the ultimate disposal of both the examinations and completed papers is the sole responsibility of the appropriate department and/or faculty member. All instructors using a common examination must agree if these documents are to be returned to the students. Academic Progress Policy Purpose/Rationale The purpose of this policy is to enhance a learner's likelihood of success and to encourage a learner to use college resources effectively. This policy will define the college-wide standard for academic progress and will establish principles and protocols to assist students, their instructors, and administrative staff to monitor and intervene when a student is at risk. Scope/Limits This policy applies to students registered in Education Council approved courses and programs at Camosun College. This policy—with the exception of the stage four intervention of academic suspension— is under the authority of the Deans and Directors of schools and administrative units (henceforth called "schools") that provide educational programs. Appeals related to academic probation, removal and suspension fall under the Student Appeal Policy. Principles The college recognizes the considerable effort on the part of students to establish and meet their educational goals and is committed to creating a supportive learning environment as students make progress toward their educational goals. Formal assessment of students' academic performance and the assignment of grades are based on the quality of student achievement compared with the standards and requirements established by the college, the school, the program, and the individual courses. Students are ultimately responsible for their learning and progress and are expected to seek help in a timely manner when they are unable to meet the course requirements. The college is committed to supporting student success and to working with students in achieving their educational goals. When an instructor, during the process of ongoing assessment, determines a student to be at academic risk, the instructor will alert the student and discuss improvement strategies. Because students are ultimately responsible for their progress, they should communicate their progress and challenges to the instructor and act on the improvement strategies. To remain in good academic standing, a student must maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0 in each academic term. Some programs may require a higher minimum GPA, specific attendance requirements, or the passing or successful completion of specific courses to continue in the program. These are published in the college calendar. For those programs graded under the non-GPA Competency Based Grading System, the student must demonstrate continued satisfactory progress in order to remain in good academic standing. Stage Two Intervention: Academic Probation All students are assumed to be in good academic standing unless stated otherwise on their academic record. When a student has failed to meet an academic standard, the college will intervene to alert and counsel the student. Ultimately, part of the intervention will involve structured limits which may include probation and in some circumstances removal from the program. Spring and summer sessions, combined, are considered one semester. If a student has failed a course twice, he/ she may register for it again only with the permission of the Dean. Due to the nature of self-paced and continuous entry programming, students in these courses will be permitted to register only three times for the same course. Only in exceptional circumstances and at the discretion of the Dean may these limits be waived. (The Dean will receive the records from the Office of the Registrar.) Definitions At Risk: At-risk students are those who are experiencing academic difficulty and who, without change, will not meet the academic progress standards by the end of the academic term. Personal Learning Plan (PLP): The process and tools through which Camosun College helps students with academic and personal planning, assisting them to achieve their educational goals. Stages of Academic Intervention All students are expected to meet college standards of academic progress in order to be permitted to continue or to be promoted to the next level of the program. When a student is at risk, the college will offer academic support and, if and when needed, provide intervention strategies. A student who does not meet a minimum GPA of 2.0 for any semester or quarter will be placed on academic probation by the Dean. In non-GPA programs, the decision as to what triggers academic probation will be made at the program and departmental level, bearing in mind that a student in selfpaced courses may register only three times in the same course. Notes: Some programs may require a higher GPA, specific attendance requirements, or a specific level of achievement to continue in the programs. College Process: • At the end of each semester or quarter, the Registrar will notify each school of all students who did not achieve the minimum GPA of 2.0. Non-GPA program probation reports will be done at the departmental level. • The Dean will write to the student indicating the academic probation, any required follow-up, and the consequences of not improving his/her academic standing. Information about college services will be included. • The Registrar will be notified, and a notation will be placed on the student record indicating the academic probation. Stage Three Intervention: Academic Removal Students on Academic Probation who do not achieve a minimum GPA requirement in any subsequent semester or quarter will be removed from their program for a period of 12 months. Prior to registering into another program, the student must complete a new Personal Learning Plan (PLP). College Process: • At the end of each semester or quarter, the Registrar will notify the school of all students who have not achieved a minimum GPA of 2.0 more than once. At any time during the academic session, an instructor or a student may identify that the student is at risk. The instructor and student will meet to discuss improvement strategies. Whenever possible, college employees will identify where students can obtain extra support. • The Dean will notify the student, in writing, that he/she has not met the minimum standard for progress for two academic terms and is therefore restricted from reregistering into the program for a period of 12 months. Re-admission is not automatic or guaranteed. The letter will specify any additional requirements related to re-admission to program, including an indication of when the student can reapply, the registration priorities of the program, and, when relevant, program application information. • SEND EMAIL   17 Stage One Intervention: Academic Alert VISIT US ON THE WEB     • The Registrar will be notified and a notation will be placed on the student record indicating the academic removal. Stage Four Intervention: Academic Suspension If a student does not meet the GPA requirement in a subsequent program, a recommendation will be forwarded to the President to suspend the student from the college for a minimum of two years. College Process: • A the end of each semester or quarter, the Registrar will notify the school of all students who have been subject to an Academic Removal penalty and have again not achieved a minimum GPA of 2.0. • The Dean will alert the Vice President of Education and Student Services that the student has again not met academic progress standards, and will request that the student be suspended from the college for a minimum two-year period. • The VP of Education and Student Services will review the file and, if he/ she supports the decision for Academic Suspension, will make this recommendation to the President. The President will inform the student of the decision in writing. Student Conduct Policy Purpose/Rationale The purpose of this policy is to provide clear expectations of appropriate academic and non-academic student conduct and to establish processes for resolution of conduct issues or the imposition of sanctions for inappropriate conduct. Scope/Limits This policy covers all students enrolled in a college course or program, on or off campus, as well as prospective students, while engaged in college-related activities. This policy does not apply to conduct related to harassment which is covered under the Human Rights Policy. Principles The college recognizes the considerable effort on the part of students to establish and meet their educational goals. To enhance students’ opportunity for success in meeting their educational goals, the college expects members of the college community to act toward each other in a manner that contributes to a positive, supportive and safe learning environment. 18 1-877-554-7555 The college is committed to high curriculum standards: • Every student will be provided a course outline that establishes student expectations and assessment criteria; • Student achievement against the assessment criteria is the basis for grading and evaluation; • Students are expected to meet the course requirements as described in the course outline; • Students experiencing difficulties in meeting course requirements are expected to seek help in a timely manner; • To facilitate learning, whenever possible, staff and faculty will identify where students can obtain extra support that is available through the college; and, • Entrance to a program or course of study does not ensure successful completion. To enhance the learning environment, the college expects all students to act in an honest and appropriate manner: • The college will not tolerate inappropriate student conduct such as academic dishonesty, or disruptive, threatening or dangerous conduct. See "Examples of Unacceptable Student Conduct". • The college will take whatever action is necessary to intervene when inappropriate student conduct occurs and will impose disciplinary consequences that reflect the severity and nature of the inappropriate conduct. The college is committed to the provision of a fair and timely appeal process through which student concerns regarding final grades and discipline can be addressed. See the Student Appeals Policy. Imposed discipline will remain in place while an appeal is being considered.

Quoting and citing sources in a way that gives proper credit avoids plagiarism. When in doubt about how to acknowledge a source, students must consult with their instructor. Plagiarism includes the following: • Submitting an entire assignment (e.g., paragraph, essay, report, lab report, technical drawing, exam, etc.) written by someone else. This is plagiarism even if making revisions to the original work. • Submitting an assignment in which the student has copied or cut and pasted one or more passages from one or more other works or an internet site without enclosing those passages in quotation marks and providing clear, correct citations for those passages. • Submitting an assignment in which the student takes one or more ideas from another work(s) without citing them, even when rewording or putting those ideas in his or her own words (that is, paraphrasing them). Students must provide clear, correct citations for theories, arguments, facts, stories, or other information that they did not come up with on their own. • Submitting an assignment that an editor or tutor, whether amateur or professional, has partially or entirely rewritten for the student. A tutor is not a copy editor. A tutor's role is to explain general principles of writing, grammar, syntax, punctuation, and spelling. 19 • Submitting a group project which contains plagiarism.

Student Appeals Policy Purpose/Rationale The purpose of this policy is to provide an appeal process for students who have reason to believe they have been graded unfairly or treated unjustly in relation to discipline by Camosun College ("the college"). Scope/Limits This policy applies to all students enrolled in college courses or programs and applies to the appeal of final grades including compulsory withdrawals from courses and disciplinary actions taken by the college. Those wishing to appeal a decision of suspension made by the President must contact the Office of the Board of Governors, as defined in the College and Institute Act. Forfeit of College Award or Credential are imposed by the Vice President of Education and Student Services and may be appealed to the President. A student can withdraw his or her appeal at any stage of the appeal process. If the student withdraws the appeal the matter will be considered closed and no further appeal will be allowed with respect to the same matter. Non-final grades may not be considered for a final stage of appeal. Principles The college recognizes the right and responsibility of its faculty and staff to assess student performance and impose discipline in appropriate circumstances. The college also recognizes the right of students to be assessed in a manner that is fair, just and reasonable and to have sanctions imposed in proportion to the nature and seriousness of their conduct. The college is committed to the provision of a fair and timely appeal process through which student concerns regarding final grades and imposed discipline can be addressed. INTERURBAN ph 250-370-3550 • fax 250-370-3750 Students will have access to a multistage process within their schools for appealing a decision regarding a final grade or imposed discipline. A final stage of appeal (a formal hearing beyond the school) may be provided if, in the assessment of the Vice President of Education and Student Services, sufficient grounds for an appeal have been demonstrated. Final decisions with respect to final grade appeals will normally be made at the school level to ensure that individuals knowledgeable in the field assess the matter. Forfeitures of College Award or Credential will be decided by the Vice President of Education and Student Services and may be appealed to the President within the time limit noted in paragraph three below. Suspensions will be decided by the President and may be appealed to the Board of Governors within the time limit noted in paragraph three below. First Appeal Stage The appeal process for a final grade begins with a student-initiated discussion with the instructor. The appeal process in the case of discipline begins with a student-initiated discussion with the decision-maker (see definition). These discussions must be initiated by the student within ten (10) working days of the official posting of the grade or imposition of discipline. If the student is unable to reach the instructor or decision-maker, assistance should be sought through the school office. The student and the instructor or decisionmaker should discuss fully the basis on which the student feels unjustly treated and ways in which his or her concerns may be addressed. These decisions must be concluded within five working days of being initiated. The decision of the instructor or decision-maker must be made in writing and copied to the Chair. Failing satisfactory resolution at the instructor or decision-maker level, the student may take his or her concerns to the next level of authority within the school by raising the matter for full discussion with the department Chair within five (5) working days of the instructor or decisionmaker's written decision. These discussions must be concluded within five (5) working days of being initiated and the decision of the Chair must be made in writing copied to the Dean. commence within five (5) working days of the written decision of the Chair and conclude within five (5) days of being initiated. The Dean's decision will be communicated to the student in writing and a copy of the decision will be provided to the Vice President of Education and Student Services. The Vice President of Education and Student Services may: Final Appeal Stage • remit the matter back to the Dean for reconsideration with recommendations and/or directions; or, If the student is not satisfied with the decision of the Dean, the student may apply to the Vice President of Education and Student Services to have a panel convened to hear a final appeal ("Panel"). The student shall submit a completed 'Request for Final Stage Appeal' form and all supporting documentation to the Office of the Vice President of Education and Student Services within ten (10) working days of receiving the Dean's written decision. The student 'Request for Final Stage Appeal' form is available through the Student Services department, from all school administration offices, and online. The Vice President of Education and Student Services will evaluate the 'Request for Final Stage Appeal' form and supporting documentation and will determine if there are sufficient grounds for an appeal. The Vice President of Education and Student Services may seek further information and/ or clarification from any person involved in the appeal. The grounds for a final stage appeal related to final grades are: • the course outline has not been followed by the instructor; • the evaluation criteria have not been applied according to the college grading and promotion policy; or • the evaluation criteria have not been applied in a reasonable, fair and just manner. The grounds for an appeal related to inappropriate conduct are: • the student is denying the conduct; • the student is appealing the severity of the discipline; or • new information has come to light that would have an impact on the imposed. Prior to directing that a Panel be convened, the Vice President of Education and Student Services must be satisfied that there is sufficient credible evidence on which the Panel might reasonably conclude that one or more of the aforementioned grounds for considering an appeal have been met. Failing satisfactory resolution at the department Chair level, the student may take his or her concerns to the final level of authority within the school by raising the matter for full discussion with the Dean or his or her designate. These discussions must • SEND EMAIL   VISIT US ON THE WEB     • direct that a Panel be convened; • direct that a Panel not be convened; • direct that some but not all of the issues raised in the appeal be presented to a Panel; • direct that the matter be remitted for an independent academic reassessment. If a reassessment is deemed appropriate, the Vice President of Education and Student Services shall select a qualified new assessor or assessors who may be external to the college. Steps will be taken to ensure the impartiality of the assessor(s) and, where possible, to ensure the anonymity of the student. The assessor(s) may raise, maintain or lower the students' grade as appropriate. The decision of the assessor(s) is final and binding. The Student Appeal Panel If there are grounds for an appeal, the Vice President of Education and Student Services will communicate to the student the details related to process, timing and location of the Panel hearing. The Director of Student Services/Registrar will Chair the Panel ("the Chair"). The Panel will be comprised of the Chair, two students, and two college personnel. The Chair will be responsible for ensuring that the members of the Panel are free of conflict of interest related to the case being heard. Every attempt will be made to hear the appeal in a timely manner. The decision of the Panel will be final and binding and will be communicated to the student in writing. Definitions Decision-maker: Any member of the college faculty, staff or administration who holds the authority for making a decision regarding final grades or for imposing discipline. Student Penalties and Fines Policy Scope This policy applies to all students, past and present, and to all administrative units providing services or loans (library, equipment, or materials) to students, which carry a financial or return obligation on the part of the student. 21 Principles Withdrawal Policy Penalties and fines are established to encourage students to meet their obligations to return loaned items owned by the college and to pay monies owed to the college. Purpose/Rationale The college will ensure all fines and penalties are administered impartially and fairly. Fines and penalties will be established for non-payment of tuition fees or failure to return loaned items. The chief penalty will be the suspension of student access to services until the college-owed obligation has been met. The student may appeal the imposed fine or penalty at the place at which it was imposed. As appropriate, the college will make use of collection agencies to collect monies owed to the college. Students who have incurred a penalty and/ or fine must return to the issuing department to make payment. See the Fees and Financial Policies & Procedures chapter of the calendar for more information. Guidelines Paying Fines & Removal of Penalties The issuing department will receive payment and remove any imposed penalties as follows: • If students have received library fines, they must return to the library to pay the fine and then have any imposed penalty removed; • If tuition fees are in arrears, students will return to the Student Services department (cashier) to pay their fees; or, • If students have received notice from a collection agency, they must pay the account directly to the collection agency. Appeals Appeals are to be made to the department issuing the penalty or fine. The issuing department may require appeals to be in writing. All appeals must include or identify the reasons the appeal is being sought: • Is the appeal being sought because the fine or penalty was unfairly levied? Please explain. OR The purpose of this policy is to establish clear, consistent principles and guidelines for the course withdrawal process. Scope/Limits This policy applies to all students enrolled in college courses. Official withdrawal deadlines do not normally apply to self-paced programs. Principles Camosun College recognizes that students may need to withdraw from course(s). Financial and/or academic penalties for course withdrawals may be imposed depending on whether students withdraw before or after the fee deadline or course withdrawal deadline. See "Definitions" below. Withdrawing before or after the fee deadline: • Prior to the fee deadline, students who drop courses will be refunded tuition and ancillary fees, but not the registration deposit. • After the fee deadline, fees are nonrefundable. If students do not officially withdraw prior to the fee deadline, they will be required to pay all outstanding fees, will receive no further service until all fees are paid, and may be assigned an "F" grade. Withdrawing before or after the course withdrawal deadline: • Prior to the course withdrawal deadline (and after the fee deadline), students must follow official course withdrawal procedures. (See "Guidelines for Withdrawing".) A "W" (withdrawal) status will be entered on the student’s record to indicate an official withdrawal has taken place. • After the course withdrawal deadline, students may no longer officially withdraw. Students who fail to successfully complete the course may be assigned an "F" grade. Students experiencing extenuating medical or compassionate circumstances who wish to withdraw after the course withdrawal deadline and/or ask for a refund may apply for special consideration. • Is the appeal being sought due to unavoidable extenuating circumstances? Please describe and attach any supportive documentation. 22 1-877-554-7555 LANSDOWNE ph 250-370-3550 • fax 250-370-3551 Definitions Fee Deadline: The fee deadline is the date course fees are due and is the last day fees are refundable. This date is usually 14 days after the semester/quarter begins or 7 days after the term begins. Official fee deadline dates are published in the Camosun College calendar. Course Withdrawal Deadline: The course withdrawal deadline is the last day students may withdraw from courses to avoid a possible academic penalty. Course withdrawal deadlines are set at 66% of course length regardless of the start and end dates (with the exception of self-paced courses—see "Scope/Limits"). Students may obtain official course withdrawal deadline dates from the following sources: • For semester, term, and quarter courses with regular start and end dates, students must consult the Camosun College calendar. • For courses with irregular start and end dates, students must contact Enrolment Services. • Students enrolled in self-paced programs must consult Enrolment Services for withdrawal deadlines. Withdrawal is not permitted for prior learning assessment (PLA) courses of one week’s duration or less. Guidelines for Withdrawing After the Fee Deadline and Before the Course Withdrawal Deadline Forms: To avoid academic penalty, all students must submit a 'Request to Add, Audit, or Drop Course After Fee Deadline' form to Enrolment Services. Signatures: In addition to completing this form, the following students must obtain signatures of approval by contacting the appropriate office: • Students in career programs: In order to be fully informed of the implications of withdrawing from a course, students enrolled in career programs are required to obtain the signature of their Program Chair/Leader prior to withdrawal. • International students: International students who wish to withdraw are required to obtain a signature from an International Advisor in the International Education department. • Loans: Students receiving student loans are advised to consult with a Financial Aid Advisor prior to withdrawing. Student loans may be affected by withdrawals when students fail to maintain enrolment in at least 60% of a full course load.

All transcripts submitted become the property of Camosun College and will not be returned. * Official paper transcripts must be submitted to Camosun College in an envelope sealed by the sending post-secondary or secondary institution. Course and program admission requirements are expressed in terms of BC secondary school courses and/or Camosun alternatives. (See our website for more information.)

The only BC provincial exam mark Camosun requires for high school graduates 2007 onwards is English 12, or equivalent. (Home schooled students can write either the provincial exam for English 12, or English 12 First Peoples (EFP 12), or equivalent, or our English assessment). For all other admission requirements (math, biology, chemistry, physics), the provincial exam mark is optional. We will accept the higher of the exam/final or final grade only. For applicants who have completed the BC Adult Graduation Diploma program, provincial exams are not required.

Assessment of Prior Learning Camosun College recognizes that learning, which some adults acquire from life and work experiences, may be equivalent to college-level learning. A complete policy on Prior Learning Assessment can be found in the Academic Policies & Procedures chapter of this calendar. Assessment of Transfer Credit Transfer credit is the process whereby official post-secondary transcripts (from recognized institutions) are evaluated to determine academic course equivalency towards Camosun College programs. Official transcripts are evaluated by Academic Advisors once admission requirements for the program have been assessed by Enrolment Services. 25 Where admission to a program is based on transfer credit evaluation, this evaluation begins once an application and fees are processed by Enrolment Services and transcripts are forwarded to Academic Advising. Credit is assessed/outlined for all courses relevant to the program of application. Students with education from within Canada may be requested to submit detailed course outlines in order for the evaluation to begin. Students with out-of-country transcripts are required to submit detailed course outlines before credit will be assessed. Transcripts and course outlines in languages other than English must be submitted with official translations into English. Students who enrol in a course for which the transfer credit evaluation is pending are responsible for withdrawal from duplicate courses and are subject to all college refund and withdrawal policies in the event transfer credit is granted. An evaluation form is mailed upon completion of the evaluation. Processing timelines for general evaluations are approximately 8-10 weeks. Complex credit assessment that requires consultation with other educational personnel may take considerably longer. Therefore, it is important that all documentation related to the evaluation of credit be submitted well in advance of the program commencement. Dean Assessment of Program Admission Requirements A Dean or designate may ascertain upon assessment that a student can enter a program without meeting the defined admission requirements. The Dean or designate will provide the student with written permission for the student to present to the Enrolment Services office. This permission does not preclude the necessity of completing all program requirements. Language Placement Tests Language Proficiency Index (LPI) and International English Testing System (IELTS) In place of a "C+" in English 12, Camosun accepts a Language Proficiency Index (LPI) score of 5 or higher; or an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) score of 6.5 overall, with a minimum of 6.5 in Reading and Writing, and a minimum of 6.0 in Listening and Speaking; or assessment. (Call 250-370-3597 for more information.) Testing of students with 0 — 2 years of English Language study occurs at the School of Access, Interurban Campus, 250‑370-4941. Students who have studied English for two years or more will test at the Lansdowne Campus, Assessment Centre, 250-370-3597. International students should contact Camosun College International at 250-370-3681 prior to arranging testing. International Credentials Baccalaureate and Advanced Placement Camosun College generally grants credit for International Baccalaureate and Advanced Placement subjects.

Students planning to transfer from Camosun College to another post-secondary educational institution are advised to consult with the institution to which they are transferring in order to confirm suitability of their courses and gather information on quotas, grade point averages (GPA) or other admission requirements. INTERURBAN ph 250-370-3550 • fax 250-370-3750 Attendance Web Declare Auditing Courses It is each student's responsibility to attend the first class meeting of each course. If a student does not attend and does not contact the instructor within two working days following the first class with a satisfactory explanation, admittance to the course may be denied. Web Declare is used by continuing students to inform the college they plan to return to study in the upcoming semester or term. Course Audit – General Interest If a student does not attend classes and does not officially withdraw (via Camlink or Student Services) prior to fee deadlines, he or she will be required to pay all outstanding fees, will receive no further service until the fees are paid, and may receive an "F" grade. Note: For information on International Education Applications, please see our website. Compassionate Leave of Absence • at least one week prior to their registration date; If there is a death of an immediate family member and a student has to be absent from classes, the student should notify the college by contacting the education school offering the program or course. School phone numbers are listed at the beginning of each school chapter in this calendar. If a student does not attend classes and does not officially withdraw (via Camlink or Enrolment Services) on or before fee deadlines, he or she will be required to pay all outstanding fees, will receive no further service until the fees are paid, and may receive an "F" grade. Full-Time Enrolment There are many different guidelines for determining whether a student is a "fulltime" student. Camosun College's definition of full time is that the student be enrolled in at least 60% of a full-time course load for his or her program of studies. (This measure is used to support eligibility for financial aid.) Some external agencies may set different requirements and guidelines (e.g., Canada Customs and Revenue requires students to be enrolled in a minimum of 10 hours per week). Registration Process Camlink Camosun College uses a web-based registration system called Camlink. Camlink provides services for students to check available course offerings and timetables, self-register in classes, pay fees, view grades, update personal contact information, and provides information relevant to each registration period. Students who are required to register in courses using Camlink will be provided access and instructions on using Camlink prior to their first registration period. Students who are not required to use Camlink will be notified. This process also provides students with their registration date. Registration Deposit For each academic session, most new and continuing students are required to pay a $175 non-refundable registration deposit: OR • according to deadlines provided by Enrolment Services to confirm acceptance into a credit program. This registration deposit is not an additional fee. It will be applied to the total fees for that academic period. Course Audit — General Interest registration is for those individuals who are interested in taking a credit course for general interest only, and who have no intention of completing course work or writing exams for the audited course. Students auditing a course for general interest only: • Will apply and register from the first day of class until the fee deadline, and only with instructor permission. The application is available here; • An instructor may sign an 'Audit Application' form if space is available after waitlisted students have been served; • Will pay 50% of the course tuition plus ancillary fees; • Will not have to satisfy course prerequisites; • Will be expected to attend classes regularly. No assignments are expected, no examinations are written; Note: Payment of a registration deposit does not guarantee entry to courses as this is dependent upon academic prerequisites and upon the availability of seats. • Cannot use audited courses as credits for student loan purposes; Registration Priority • Are not assigned a grade other than "AUD"; For some college programs, it is necessary to assign different registration dates to students needing the same courses. The following guidelines direct this process: • Cannot be changed to credit (enrolled status); • Cannot use an "AUD" grade as a prerequisite for other courses; and, • An "AUD" grade is not calculated in GPA. • Continuing students generally have registration priority; Course Audit – Students Currently Enrolled in Credit Courses • Priority for continuing students may be established by number of credits successfully completed and successful academic standing; An audit student is one who participates in a credit course while concurrently enrolled in other credit classes. Current students auditing courses must be aware of the following requirements: • The college reserves the right to register new and returning students before continuing students who fail to demonstrate satisfactory academic progress. • For most career programs, full-time students have a priority for registration over part-time students. Course Prerequisite Assessments Course prerequisite assessments can occur when a Chair, Coordinator or designate ascertains a learner can enter a course without meeting the defined prerequisites. If approved, the Chair, Coordinator or designate will provide the learner with a signed 'Permission to Register' form to present to the Enrolment Services office. Course prerequisite assessments are course- and term-specific and do not provide entry to other courses with the same prerequisite. • SEND EMAIL   VISIT US ON THE WEB     • Will register between the first day of class until the fee deadline, and only with instructor permission. • An instructor may sign a 'Permission to Register' form if space is available after waitlisted students have been served; • Will be expected to attend classes regularly.

Course Waitlists In the event that a preferred course is full, students should: • select an alternate section (time/day); • select an alternate course; or, • waitlist for the preferred course and section. Course Waitlist Procedure Students in college preparatory and university transfer courses, associate degrees, bachelor and specified part-time career programs will be automatically enrolled from waitlists until midnight of the day prior to when the semester or term commences, if seats become available, prerequisites are met, and the waitlisted course does not conflict with enrolled courses. Students should not waitlist for a different section of a course in which they are registered. Should this occur, they will not be registered in the waitlisted section. Students who waitlist in more than one section of the same course will be offered a seat (if available) in only one section. During the first week of classes, waitlisted students should attend the classes for which they are waitlisted. If there is space, instructors may sign a 'Permission to Register' form (PTR) which students must present to Enrolment Services* to register. All fees must be paid by published deadlines. PTR forms will not be issued or accepted until the first day of classes, and will be accepted only up to the fee deadline for the term. *Can be dropped in Drop Boxes. Look for the blue drop boxes around campus (Isabel Dawson and Fisher buildings at Lansdowne or Liz Ashton Campus Centre and CBA buildings at Interurban). Changes in Registration Students should refer to the college's refund policy in the Fees and Financial Policies & Procedures chapter of this calendar. Adding and Changing Courses Regular online course registration will cease at midnight of the day prior to when the semester or term commences. From the first day of class to the published fee deadline, courses can be added only with permission of the instructor and submission of a completed 'Permission to Register' form to Enrolment Services. 28 1-877-554-7555 In rare cases, a student may be added to a course after the fee deadline; however, a 'Request to Add, Audit, or Drop Course After Fee Deadline' form must be authorized by both the instructor and the Dean. Exception: Academic Upgrading Foundation level courses may accept students up to two months after the start of classes, with permission of the school. Dropping or changing courses may negatively affect completion of Camosun programs or transfer to university. Students are recommended to assess the impact of adding/changing courses. Students may wish to consult with Academic Advisors or program Chairs. Dropping or changing courses and/or programs during the academic year may jeopardize students' eligibility to continue to receive financial aid during that year. It is imperative that students receiving assistance consult the Financial Aid & Awards office before any drop or change of course(s) or program. Withdrawing from Programs and Courses Camosun College recognizes that students may need to withdraw from course(s). Financial and/or academic penalties for course withdrawals may be imposed depending on whether students withdraw before or after the fee deadline or course withdrawal deadline. As established in the Course Withdrawal Policy, students who have attended one or more classes who do not officially withdraw prior to the published deadlines, and who fail to successfully complete required course work will be assigned a final grade of "F" or "NC" depending on the grading system being used in the course. Students can withdraw from courses up to the tuition fee deadline without tuition charge, less the registration deposit. Students who fail to withdraw prior to the fee deadline will be required to pay outstanding fees. Refer to late fee penalties in the Fees and Financial Policies & Procedures chapter. Prior to the course withdrawal date students must follow official course withdrawal procedures. A "W" (withdrawal) status will be entered on the student's record to indicate an official withdrawal has taken place. The deadline to withdraw without academic penalty falls after completion of 66% of the academic term. Please see the Important Dates chapter for the precise date. Withdrawals will not be permitted after this deadline date. Students who do not withdraw prior to official published deadlines and fail to successfully complete the course will be assigned an "F" grade. Note: Students receiving financial assistance such as student loans are advised to speak to a Financial Aid Advisor before withdrawing from courses. Career and Vocational Programs To be fully informed of the implications of withdrawing from a course, students enrolled in career and vocational programs are required to obtain the signature of their program Chair/Leader prior to withdrawal via completion of a 'Request to Withdraw from Career or Vocational Program or Course(s) After Fee Deadline' form. International Students International students who wish to withdraw are required to obtain a signature from an International Advisor. Medical/Compassionate Withdrawals To request a refund (less the non-refundable registration deposit and all Student Society fees and levies) after the fee deadline for medical or compassionate reasons, obtain a 'Request for Withdrawal for Medical/Compassionate Reasons' form from Enrolment Services, and submit with cover letter and appropriate documentation to Enrolment Services. Note: Requests for Medical/Compassionate Withdrawals will normally be approved only prior to the beginning of the next semester, quarter or term. Student File Restrictions Refer to the Fees and Financial Policies & Procedures chapter for more information on student file restrictions. Students will be restricted from registration and other services in the event a restriction has been placed on a student file. File restrictions are due to a financial obligation to the college, and are initiated by the affected department. Students wishing to officially withdraw from a course after the tuition fee deadline must submit a signed 'Request to Add, Audit, or Drop Course After Fee Deadline' form to the Enrolment Services office. Withdrawing from credit courses does not affect grade point averages (GPA) providing students officially withdraw before the deadline.

Therefore, no transcript or other personal information about a student will be released except in the following circumstances: • Information released to the student; • Information released with the written authorization of the student; • Information, pertaining to delinquent debts owed by students to the college, released to the college's collection agents to facilitate recovery of such debts; • Information released in response to a court order; • Information, pertaining to delinquent debts owed by students to the Canada Student Loan program, released to the government's collection agents to facilitate recovery of such debts; and, • Information released to government departments for the purpose of statistical analysis and research, provided there is an assurance of confidentiality. Please refer to the college's Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Policy statement. Access to student records (paper or computer) will be provided to a third party only where the student has submitted a valid, signed 'Permission to Release Information' form granting that individual access. Identification will be required from the student granting access and from the third party seeking access. Grade Notification Grades are posted within three to four days at the end of each exam period. Check Camlink for your grades. Grading Systems For detailed information about grading systems, see our website. Transcripts College Credentials Official Transcripts All Camosun College programs leading to a credential have received formal college approval through Education Council. The college issues the following types of credentials: An official transcript is a complete and unabridged academic record of achievement at Camosun College. As such, it is a private and confidential record, which can be issued or released only upon written authority of the student. Parents, relatives and friends may request copies of official transcripts only with the student's written approval. It is therefore the student's responsibility to ensure that the 'Request for Official Transcript' form is completed. Generally, official transcripts are produced on Tuesdays and Thursdays for pick-up or mailing. Transcripts must be requested and paid for prior to the production day. Official transcripts will not be issued for a student who owes fees to the college. The following notes are issued for students' general interest: • Most universities require two copies of official transcripts. One is for the Enrolment Services office and one is for the appropriate faculty; • Most universities will not accept official transcripts carried by the student. To be considered official, they must be mailed directly from the college to the university; and, • Those institutions that accept official transcripts directly from students insist that the envelope carry a seal that remains unbroken. Note: Students with Camlink access can obtain an Unofficial Academic Record from Camlink. This record is for personal use only, and does not reflect the official status of the students record, nor does it replicate an official transcript. Repeating a Course & GPA • Post-Degree Certificate: acknowledges completion of an approved advanced level or specialized program which builds on a previously completed recognized degree (equivalent to one semester of full-time, advanced-level studies). • Post-Degree Diploma: acknowledges completion of an approved advanced level or specialized program which builds on a previously completed recognized degree (equivalent to two semesters of full-time, advanced-level studies). • Bachelor Degree (Applied Degree): acknowledges completion of an approved, advanced-level, specialized program (equivalent to 8-10 semesters of full-time, post-secondary studies). An applied degree normally contains diploma entry and exit options, includes formally credited work experience, integrates career/technical work-place applications with theory, and is designed to meet demonstrated labour market needs for advanced programming. Applied degrees prepare graduates for employment; preparation for graduate studies is not an essential feature of applied degrees. Graduate work may be limited to the specialized area of study of the applied degree unless further undergraduate preparation is obtained. • Associate Degree: acknowledges completion of an approved program consisting of 20 university transfer courses (equivalent to 16 months of full-time university studies). If a course is repeated, the grade for each attempt will be recorded on the student's permanent student record (transcript). Only the highest grade achieved, however, is included in the cumulative GPA computation. Credit will be granted only once. Students are cautioned that other institutions may include both grades in their admissions GPA computation. Those students planning to transfer from Camosun College to another post-secondary educational institution are advised to consult with the institution to which they are transferring in order to confirm the method of GPA computation. • Advanced Diploma: acknowledges completion of an approved advanced level or specialized program which builds on a previously completed diploma, or on at least five years related work experience (equivalent to a minimum of three months of full-time study beyond a diploma). • SEND EMAIL   41 VISIT US ON THE WEB     • Diploma: acknowledges completion of an approved two or three year career/ technical program (equivalent to 16-30 months of full-time studies). • Advanced Certificate: acknowledges completion of an approved advanced level or specialized program which builds on previously completed certificate of a minimum duration of six months (equivalent to a minimum of three months of full-time study beyond a Certificate). Multiple Credentials • Certificate: acknowledges completion of an approved basic-level program (equivalent to 60 hours to one year of full-time study. The duration of the program will be stated on the Certificate). To acquire a subsequent or higher level credential, a student must complete all the requirements of the credential. In addition, at least 25% of the credits must be new. The chart below outlines the steps required to acquire a subsequent or higher level credential. Certificates, Diplomas and Degrees Students completing an academic, career or vocational program are encouraged to apply for their credential by completing the 'Application to Graduate/Request for Credential' form (also available at the Enrolment Services office). Allow up to six weeks after the end of exams for the document to be produced and mailed. The academic requirements for a certificate, diploma, associate or applied degree are listed as part of the program descriptions in this calendar. Credentials will only be issued upon written authority of the student. Parents, other relatives and friends may request a copy of a certificate or diploma only with the student's written approval. It is the student's responsibility to ensure completion of the 'Application to Graduate/Request for Credential' form. Original certificates, degrees and diplomas are issued free of charge. Note: Credentials will not be issued for a student whose file has been flagged. A student who is unable to complete in twice the normal length of the program will be required to meet the program requirements at the time of credentialing. The required courses for students taking their program over an extended time would normally be those in effect at the time of original program registration. If program changes result in removal of any of these courses, the Dean of the school may approve the substitution of other appropriate courses such that the student may complete the program. This may require that the student repeat certain courses, complete additional courses, or follow a new or revised program of studies in order to graduate. Students who have completed one credential at Camosun College and want to apply some or all of their course work towards an additional credential may use a limited amount of credit from the original credential to the new credential. Certificates, Diplomas, Advanced Diplomas, and Associate Degrees Graduation and Awards Ceremonies To be awarded a certificate, diploma, advanced diploma or associate degree, students must complete all program requirements and satisfy Camosun College's residency requirement by completing at least 25% of the required program or program credits through Camosun College. The exceptions to this rule are the BC Adult Graduation Diploma in which one course must be completed at Camosun College. The college will convene two college-wide graduation ceremonies each year as follows: • June 2011 for all students who will complete their requirements by April 29, 2011. Students must submit their 'Application to Graduate/Request for Credential' form by March 4, 2011; and, • October 2011 for all students who will complete their requirements by September 16, 2011. Students must submit their 'Application to Graduate/ Request for Credential' form by July 4, 2011. Bachelor To be awarded a Bachelor (applied degree), students must complete all program requirements and satisfy Camosun College's residency requirement by completing a minimum of 30 credits (equivalent to one academic year) of the Bachelor program at Camosun College. • June 2012 for all students who will complete their requirements by April 27, 2012.

Timelines Governing Completion of Programs • October 2012 for all students who will complete their requirements by September 14, 2012. Students must submit their 'Application to Graduate/ Request for Credential' form by June 29, 2012.

Starting with an enrolment of just six international students, today the college enrols between 700 and 800 international students annually. Internationalizing classrooms, campuses and community is a priority for Camosun College. Continuing Education The co-op department co-ordinates both the educational and the administrative aspects of the co-operative work experience process. Prior to the field experience, co-op staff deliver the Workplace Education Prep workshop series and help students secure work placements with industry, government and other employers. They actively promote the co-op model to the employer community and ensure the visibility of Camosun programs and students. Camosun College International (CCI), the college's international education department, accomplishes this by hosting international students, sending Canadian students to study abroad, leading development projects, hiring CIDA youth interns, coordinating customized training and consulting services, and by organizing international events and celebrations on campus. Camosun College's Continuing Education classes deliver a wide range of practical, high-quality, hands-on training. The programs are taught by instructors with current industry experience and are scheduled in part-time, fast-tracked and evening options to provide flexibility and value for adult learners. A print course calendar of non-credit education classes is published three times a year; and the complete course line-up, plus registration services, is always available. Additionally, Camosun College supports progressional development opportunities with certificate and industry partnership programs through Continuing Education & Contract Training (CECT). Student developed positions may be eligible for work term credit and students are encouraged to self develop work term positions. Students may consult with employment facilitators or co-op and internship coordinators for guidance on the development of such positions. Contract Training Camosun College provides training and educational services locally, regionally and nationally through the Continuing Education & Contract Training (CECT) department. Hundreds of pre-packaged Continuing Education classes can be customized, or specific staff training can be developed and delivered on campus or on site at the workplace. CECT’s professional project managers and experienced adult educators work with clients in business, industry, government and community agencies. • SEND EMAIL   VISIT US ON THE WEB     43 Online and Blended Learning Opportunities/ Camosun Online Camosun students can choose from courses and programs that require reduced face-toface meetings.

The School offers a wide range of courses and programs in the areas of University Transfer, Career and Technical, and College Preparatory. Our students benefit from small classes and flexible full- and part-time study options, including some distance courses. Dedicated and experienced faculty members encourage academic and personal growth. The School of Arts & Science offers students the opportunity to begin their university studies and/or complete a diploma or an associate degree in a learning environment that fosters student success and that is committed to instructional excellence. Students can complete up to two years of Arts & Science studies transferable to universities in a wide range of disciplines. Two-year associate degrees in Arts & Science are available either as general or discipline-specific options. College Preparatory courses provide a strong foundation for students to enter career, technical, trades, and university Arts & Science programs. These courses are designed to meet the admission requirements of post-secondary programs. Upgrading courses can be taken concurrently with some university transfer courses. See "Academic Upgrading" in the School of Access chapter for a list of upgrading courses. Work experience is a mandatory component of selected programs and optional for others. Students choosing co-operative education or internship have found the work experience to be a value-added element in their overall education. Consider a work experience option if it is offered in your program. Standards of Academic Progress The School of Arts & Science strongly supports student success and endeavours to help students progress toward their educational goals. Our faculty and staff are committed to providing quality education in a learning-centred manner. We will monitor course prerequisites and student progress and endeavour to place students in courses where they can succeed. When progress is unsatisfactory, appropriate interventions will occur. Satisfactory progress requires that a student maintain a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.0 ("C"). A student whose performance is unsatisfactory will be placed on academic probation. A student in this situation must consult with an Academic Advisor. A student who is on academic probation and who fails to obtain a sessional GPA of at least 2.0 ("C") will be required to withdraw from the School for one year. After twice receiving an "F" grade in a course, a student may enrol again only with permission of the Dean. The Camosun College Academic Progress Policy applies to all students.

In keeping with the School of Arts & Science’s motto of Explore Your Potential/Discover Your Passion/Find Your Path, this diploma allows students to design their own program in an academic framework. This program suits students who are either very certain of their educational goals and have further studies in mind, or students who are unsure about academic studies but want to explore the potential of post-secondary education. The Arts & Science Studies program can also be tailored to meet varied learners. Students can accelerate their learning by registering in, and successfully completing courses all year round, acquiring the Diploma in Arts & Science Studies within two years. Students who prefer more time can choose part-time studies and work at a slower pace. To attain freedom, flexibility and options, yet still preserve academic structure, the Arts & Science Studies program gives students the choice of 20 (minimum 60 credits) 100-level or higher courses which must transfer to at least one BC post-secondary college, institute, or university as per the BC Transfer Guide. A minimum of 14 (minimum 42 credits) of the courses must be from disciplines offered by the School of Arts & Science. The School of Arts & Science has a wide range of transferable courses to customize a program of study to meet students’ personal, academic and career goals. Length: The Arts & Science Studies program is a full- or part-time program. There is no set timeline for part-time studies; however, a student who requires more than 4 years (48 months) to complete the program will be required to meet the program completion requirements at the time of credentialing. Location: Lansdowne and Interurban campuses, offsite locations, and distributed education. Starting: Winter Program Code: ARTSCI Admission Requirement(s): • Submit proof of "C" in English 12, or EFP 12; or ENGL 092 and ENGL 094; or ENGL 092 and ENGL 096; or ENGL 103 and ENGL 104; or ENGL 103 and ENGL 106; or ENGL 140; or ELD 092 and ELD 094; or ELD 097; or assessment.

Some courses may be offered online or in a blended delivery model. All BBA students are required to complete two four-month work terms or their equivalent as part of their degree requirements. Students gain career-oriented experience, marketable skills, and contacts for future employment opportunities. Employers range from small local businesses to large international industries and various levels of government. Students may complete their required work terms through participating in co-operative education work experience (co-op or internship). Co-operative Education/Internship Options Co-operative education work experience combines classroom study with work experience. Co-op is an educational process, anchored in a co-operative relationship among the student, the employer and the college. Students receive support and assistance in identifying and developing their educational and professional goals, and in finding appropriate work placements. • To maintain eligibility for subsequent co-op work terms, students must maintain a GPA of 3.0 and complete prior work terms successfully.

IMHA graduates will work in acute, tertiary, and community settings—most often as members or leaders of interprofessional teams. The program presents the specialized knowledge and expertise necessary to understand and address the complex needs and concerns of the older teen and adult living with mental health, addiction, and/or concurrent diagnosis challenges. The theory and skills will be in more depth and breadth than mental health content presented in baccalaureate level programs, to prepare participants for leadership roles. Working with a holistic client focus and from a health promotion perspective, students will engage with the individual, the family, other team members, and the community to develop a partnered interprofessional approach focused on enhancing the client's mental health and well being. Courses will include the content needed to understand the client, the challenges faced, the many contexts of the individual's experience, and the many approaches to care. Class time will be spent with learners and teachers exploring and applying content, and critically thinking about choices made to advance evidence-based practice. Learning activities will include case studies, role play, faculty and peer feedback sessions, as well as guest speakers. The focus will be the application of advanced knowledge and skills. This 30-credit program is comprised of face-to-face, web-based and practicum components and is offered part time over 12 months.

The only exception will be apprentices who will still be fully covered by WCB while participating in classroom/ lab/shop instruction. Because MSP may only pay part of the medical costs incurred for student accidents which occur during classroom/lab/ shop instruction, Camosun College has purchased, as part of every student's tuition fees, private accident insurance which will compensate for the lack of WCB coverage. CSA-approved safety footwear must be worn in most program shops. The exception to this rule is Electrical, Cook Training, Nautical and Horticulture (depending on the activity).

An apprentice spends 80 to 90% learning on the job and up to 10 to 20% of their time learning in the classroom. Apprenticeship is a two-way agreement between the employer and the employee to provide appropriate opportunities to learn the trade. The Industry Training Authority (ITA) will register all agreements. The apprentice will be provided with an ITA Individual ID number (formerly the Trades Worker ID [TWID] number). Any questions regarding credit for time in the trade or challenging a trade or level must be directed to ITA Customer Service (1-866-660-6011). INTERURBAN ph 250-370-3550 • fax 250-370-3750 Apprentices are responsible for registering with a training provider such as Camosun College for their technical training. See the list below of apprenticeship training provided by Camosun College. In terms of educational requirements, it is recommended that all students planning to become an apprentice in a skilled trade complete a Grade 12 education that includes appropriate English and math courses. However, in some trades a Grade 10 education is still an acceptable minimum standard. Potential apprentices in some trades may be required to write an entrance examination. Individual employers may also have their own requirements in terms of education. A common route used to start an apprenticeship within a specific trade has a person taking a Foundation (entry- level) trades training program at a college. This program will give the individual the skills and knowledge required to begin work in an industry at an entry-level position. This employment could lead to an apprenticeship with all its advantages including earning wages while learning a trade. Although Foundation Training may not be compulsory, joint training committees and many employers recognize it as a prerequisite to employment and/or apprenticeship. Graduates of Foundation (ELT) programs will be credited with the first level of technical training required in the trade they are registered. In most trades this will be equivalent to first year. For most trades, the apprentice must complete up to four years of training. Each year consists of an average of 1800 hours of service including the time spent in technical training classes. Formal class time is four to ten weeks in each year, depending on the chosen trade. This training is usually done in a technical training school such as Camosun College. When all the conditions of the apprenticeship agreement have been fulfilled, apprentices are issued a "Certificate of Apprenticeship" by the Industry Training Authority. In addition to the Industry Training Authority's (ITA) certification, students will be eligible to receive a certificate from Camosun College to recognize the completion of each level of technical training in a trade. Apprentices may be required to write the BC Certificate of Qualification exam or the Inter-Provincial Examination (Red Seal exam) before being issued their Certificate of Qualification. Apprenticeship program lengths and content are mandated by the ITA. See the Industry Training Authority website for additional information.
