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. 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.

Camosun College gathers and maintains information used for the purpose of admission, registration and other activities related to being a member of the Camosun College community and attending a postsecondary institution in British Columbia. In signing an application for admission, all applicants are advised that both the personal information they provide and any other personal information placed into the student record will be protected and used or disclosed in compliance with the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. 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. Camosun College may be required to disclose a student's personal information in the case of compelling circumstances where there is a risk to the health and safety of the student or of others. If you have questions regarding Camosun College's collection and use of personal information, please contact: Denis Powers Executive Director Human Resources Camosun College Phone: 250-370-3106 powers@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. 1-877-554-7555 / 250-370-3550 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. camosun.ca/askus 17 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. 1-877-554-7555 / 250-370-3550 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 six-week 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. 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: Promotion • the consumption of food or beverages within the final examination room; 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. • late entry to the final examination room thirty minutes after the scheduled commencement of the examination; 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. camosun.ca/askus • students leaving during the first 30 minutes of the examination; • the use of calculators, cell phones, terminals or other informationprocessing 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. 18 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 1-877-554-7555 / 250-370-3550 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 nonGPA Competency Based Grading System, the student must demonstrate continued satisfactory progress in order to remain in good academic standing. 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. 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. Stage One Intervention: Academic Alert 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. camosun.ca/askus Stage Two Intervention: Academic Probation 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: Spring and summer sessions, combined, are considered one semester. 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. • 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. 19 • 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.

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. 21 • Submitting a group project which contains plagiarism. It is the responsibility of all members of the group to monitor the progress of the work to ensure that plagiarism does not occur. Consequences for Plagiarism Camosun College's Student Conduct Policy covers both academic honesty and student behaviour. Note that the consequences for plagiarism are those listed under "Academic Dishonesty" as part of this policy. Examples of Unacceptable Student Conduct Assault and Threatening Conduct This includes any physical, written or verbal assault directed at any individual or group affiliated with the college community that occurs within any college-related activity and that could result in physical, mental or emotional harm, or harassment.

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 22 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. 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 1-877-554-7555 / 250-370-3550 days of being initiated and the decision of the Chair must be made in writing copied to the Dean. 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 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 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. 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: • 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; • remit the matter back to the Dean for reconsideration with recommendations and/or directions; or, • direct that the matter be remitted for an independent academic reassessment. 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. • the student is denying the conduct; Student Penalties and Fines Policy • the student is appealing the severity of the discipline; or Scope • new information has come to light that would have an impact on the imposed. 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. 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 camosun.ca/askus 23 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. 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 courses. 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. OR • Is the appeal being sought due to unavoidable extenuating circumstances? Please describe and attach any supportive documentation. 1-877-554-7555 / 250-370-3550 camosun.ca/askus 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. 24 Requesting a Refund and/or Withdrawing for Medical or Compassionate Reasons After Deadlines Students experiencing extenuating medical and/or compassionate circumstances who wish to withdraw from course(s) and/or request a refund after fee and/or course withdrawal deadlines must proceed as follows: To request a refund after the fee deadline and before the course withdrawal deadline: • Obtain a 'Request for Withdrawal for Medical/Compassionate Reasons' form from Student Services; • Obtain appropriate documentation and write a letter of request and explanation to support the request (as explained in the form); and, • Submit the form and documentation to Student Services for consideration. To request a refund and official course withdrawal after the course withdrawal deadline: • Obtain a 'Request for Withdrawal for Medical/Compassionate Reasons' form from Student Services. Obtain appropriate documentation and write a letter of request and explanation to support the request (as explained in the form); • Submit the completed form and documentation to the Dean’s Office—or, in the case of international students, the International Education Department—for approval; and, • If approval of late course withdrawal is granted, submit the completed form and documentation to Student Services to request a refund. Note: Late withdrawals and/or refunds will normally be approved only prior to the beginning of the next semester, quarter or term.

Admission Requirements Other than in the case of programs requiring admission requirements at the post-secondary level, course and program admission requirements are expressed in terms of BC secondary school courses and/ or Camosun alternatives. (See our website for more information.) Students from out-of-province should be aware that outof-province secondary school courses to be used as prerequisites must be academic. All program admission requirements and course prerequisites must be met with a minimum "C" grade unless otherwise noted. For high school graduates 2007 onward, Camosun will not require BC provincial exam grades for courses in which the exams are optional for BC high school graduation. 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. camosun.ca/askus For high school graduates between 19842006, provincial exams are required and will be used for admission and prerequisite requirements. Some programs/courses have Grade 10 level admission requirements/prerequisites. If so, students must ensure Grade 10 transcripts are submitted. Assessment Tests Assessment or competency testing of English, math, or computer skills may be necessary for students who do not have documentation of certain admission requirements. The purpose of assessment tests is to determine the level at which the student can be placed, which may result in placement into an appropriate upgrading course level. English and math tests are designed to be written only once. Computer Skills tests may be written twice. Completed assessments become the property of Camosun College. To enrol in any course or program with an English 12 "C+" prerequisite, students who have a "C" or lower in English 12 have two options: • obtain an assessment of their English skills at the Assessment Centre prior to enrolling; or, • enrol in a Camosun English alternative course as described on our website. Students with a "C" in English 10 or 11 may: • obtain an assessment of their English skills at the Assessment Centre; or, • enrol in a Camosun English alternative course as described on our website. Students who do not have proof of having English 10 with a "C" or who have not completed English 10 can either: • obtain an assessment of English skills (call the Assessment Centre to book an appointment at 250-370-3597); or, • make an appointment for an Access assessment through the School of Access by calling 250-370-3295. Testing may result in placement at the Fundamental Math and/or the Fundamental or Intermediate English levels. Also see our website for more information about assessment testing. 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. 27 Assessment of Transfer Credit Language Placement Tests Transfer credit is the process whereby official post-secondary transcripts (from recognized institutions) are evaluated to determine academic course equivalency towards Camosun College programs. Camosun Assessment Testing Official transcripts are evaluated by the Transfer Credit Coordinator once admission requirements for the program have been assessed by Enrolment Services. 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 the Transfer Credit Coordinator. 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 4–8 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. Testing of students with 0 – 2 years of English Language study occurs at the School of Access, Interurban Campus, 250-3704941. 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 International at 250-370-3681 prior to arranging testing. Language Proficiency Index (LPI) In place of a "C+" in English 12, Camosun accepts a Language Proficiency Index (LPI) score of 5 or higher, or assessment. Lower scores may be accepted as pre-requisites for English courses under the first year university or college level. Please call 250370-3597 for more information. International English Testing System (IELTS) In place of a "C+" in English 12, Camosun accepts 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 250-3703597 for more information. Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) The following TOEFL scores are accepted in lieu of the English 12 C+ pre-requisite for Camosun College courses: IBT = 88-90 (min 20 in each section), CB = 230 (min 4.5 TWE), PB = 570 (min 4.5 TWE). Lower scores may be accepted as pre-requisites for English courses under the first year university or college level.

Admission Process Please visit the Transfer/Credit section of our website for: 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. 1-877-554-7555 / 250-370-3550 Applications are processed in order of receipt, and are reviewed to: • ensure application fee is paid, if required; • ensure applications are complete; • determine applicant satisfies the college's Admission Policy; and • determine admission requirements have been submitted and have been met. Complete applications are processed on a first-qualified, first-served basis. Applications with incomplete documentation will become inactive, camosun.ca/askus and must be resubmitted if the required documentation is not received within 12 months. Acceptance of an application does not guarantee admission to a program or course. Seat offers in programs and courses are based on space availability. Official notification of the status of an application will be mailed within four weeks of receiving the application. Written notification will include any further steps the applicant must complete and the associated deadline(s). It is the applicant's responsibility to ensure deadlines are met. While Camosun College will make every attempt to provide realistic deadlines, the college cannot accept any responsibility for delays resulting from Canada Post. For information on International Education Applications, please contact Camosun College International. Student Status New Students A new student is one who submits an application and has never attended the college. Returning Students A student who has experienced an enrolment break of greater than 12 months (from the month of his or her last attendance to the month of his or her return to the college) needs to submit a new application and application fee. Continuing Students A continuing student is one who is registered in the current academic year and will continue to take classes in the same program in the next academic year; there is no need to reapply. Seat Deferral Applicants who are unable to accept a seat offer may defer their space one time within 12 months. One seat deferral per program is granted. Deferrals will be granted only when the request is received prior to the start date of the program. Requests for deferrals received after the program start date will not be granted. A new application must be submitted to be processed and the applicant will be placed on the Applicant list as of this date. Registration Student Responsibility Students are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of their program at Camosun College. They must: • ensure the Enrolment Services office has proof of prerequisites on file for each course registration; 28 • ensure they meet the prerequisite requirements for courses in which they enrol, and in the event requirements are not met, they must withdraw from the course or may be withdrawn; Full-Time Enrolment Registration Priority For some college programs, it is necessary to assign different registration dates to students needing the same courses. The following guidelines direct this process: • determine if the selected courses will meet requirements for graduation at Camosun College or transfer to another institution (if required to meet the students' future educational goals); 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). • ensure fees are paid by published deadlines; Registration Process • ensure they withdraw from courses by published deadlines; and, Camlink • check the accuracy of their registration; • ensure that the selected courses are appropriate to their final goal; • ensure the Enrolment Services office has their current mailing and email address and phone numbers on file at all times. • ensure his or her complete high school records (usually Grades 10, 11 and 12) and any post-secondary records are on file prior to registration in classes. 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 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. 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. Attendance Web Declare is used by continuing students to inform the college they plan to return to study in the upcoming semester or term. 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. 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. Compassionate Leave of Absence Students who are not required to use Camlink will be notified. Web Declare This process also provides students with their registration date. Registration Deposit Note: For information on International Education Applications, please see our website. For each academic session, most new and continuing students are required to pay a $175 non-refundable registration deposit: • at least one week prior to their registration date; OR 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. • according to deadlines provided by Enrolment Services to confirm acceptance into a credit program. 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. 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. 1-877-554-7555 / 250-370-3550 This registration deposit is not an additional fee. It will be applied to the total fees for that academic period. camosun.ca/askus • Continuing students generally have registration priority; • Priority for continuing students may be established by number of credits successfully completed and successful academic standing; • 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 courseand term-specific and do not provide entry to other courses with the same prerequisite. Auditing Courses Course Audit – General Interest 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.

Course Wait Lists 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 Wait List Procedure Students in college preparatory and university transfer courses, associate degrees, bachelor and specified part-time career programs will be automatically enrolled from wait lists 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. 1-877-554-7555 / 250-370-3550 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. 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. camosun.ca/askus 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.

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.

Therefore, no transcript or other personal information about a student will be released except in the following circumstances: 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. All Camosun College programs leading to a credential have received formal college approval through Education Council. The college issues the following types of credentials: • 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.

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 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. camosun.ca/askus • 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).

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. Graduation and Awards Ceremonies Certificates, Diplomas, Advanced Diplomas, and Associate Degrees The college will convene one college-wide graduation ceremony each year as follows: 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.

Timelines Governing Completion of Programs The standard time limit for completion of a credential is twice the normal length of the program in which the student is enrolled. The college cannot guarantee that courses or programs will be available for students to complete graduation requirements after this time. 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.

These courses and programs make use of the Internet to provide students with a dynamic and interactive learning environment while at the same time providing increased flexibility over time and place of learning. There are two types of learning modalities that decrease the face-to-face commitment: Fully online (distance) courses have no requirement to attend classes, though most have a face-to-face orientation scheduled during the first week of classes. These courses are designated with a "D" in the college timetable (e.g., "D01", "D02"). Blended/Hybrid programs and courses have a reduced face-to‐face requirement for course or program completion but there are required times when the student must attend scheduled college session(s). These courses are designated with a "B" in the college timetable. Advantages of Online and Blended Education Students can: • enjoy increased accessibility to college courses due to the flexibility of the learning method that makes possible part or full time work, family commitments, access, etc.; • enrol in college courses without commuting to the college on a regular basis thereby reducing their carbon footprint and saving transportation costs; • choose their own time and place of study; Success in Distributed or Distance Education With the increased flexibility and access offered through Camosun Online comes increased responsibility. To be successful in a fully online or in blended courses or programs students need to: • have reliable and ready access to the Internet; • be active learners by taking responsibility for their own learning; • be prepared to initiate and be involved in meaningful interaction with other learners and the teacher; • be highly motivated and capable of both independent and collaborative study; • be able to think critically and independently; • have, or be willing to develop, strong organizational and time management skills; and, • be able to function well in a variety of learning modes and with a variety of learning materials.

It also addresses the design and application of conditioning and rehabilitation programs that enable injured and diseased individuals to return to activity. The BAET program provides knowledge and advanced skills in athletic and exercise therapy, exercise science, and business skills to operate a successful practice. Understanding of the Canadian health care system, culture and society that will enhance services to clients, and the research skills necessary to stay current of the advancements in the field of athletic and exercise therapy are the remaining underpinnings of this innovative program. Through extensive clinical and fieldwork experiences, our degree will provide students with the theoretical knowledge, practical skills, and prerequisites necessary to seek designation as Certified Exercise Physiologist ™ with the Canadian Society for Exercise Physiology (CSEP). In addition, the Centre for Sport & Exercise Education at Camosun College (CSEE) is seeking accreditation from the Canadian Athletic Therapists Association (CATA) to provide the opportunity for BAET graduates to become Certified Athletic Therapists. Athletic therapists tend to work with the physically active population (athletes and recreationally active populations), and exercise therapists tend to work with those individuals who have conditions and diseases that have been the result of an inactive lifestyle (such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, osteoporosis and obesity). Employment settings for athletic and exercise therapists are many, including hospitals, athletic and exercise therapy clinics, schools, physician offices, physical therapy clinics, community-based rehabilitation programs, occupational and industrial settings, professional sports teams and sports medicine clinics. Graduates will have the knowledge, skills and abilities for advanced study in health promotion, public health, rehabilitation and sport sciences. 1-877-554-7555 / 250-370-3550 Length: Four years full time Location: Interurban Campus Starting: Fall Program Codes: BAET1 BAET2 BAET3 BAET4 Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Admission Requirements: • Submit proof of "C+" in English 12, or TPC 12, or assessment; • Submit proof of "C+" in Principles of Math 11, or MATH 073, or assessment; • Submit proof of "C+" in Biology 12, or BIOL 103, or BIOL 144, or equivalent; • Submit proof of "C+" in any other grade 11 science course (Chemistry is highly recommended); and, • Submit proof of "B" in Physical Education 11, or Community Recreation 12; or departmental assessment.

The program is designed to prepare professionals in exercise and physical activity facilitation as well as in wellness education. Areas of study include the psychological, kinesiological and physiological foundations to foster healthy behaviours for daily living, and prepare individuals for their roles in our present and future culture. Students will learn by sequence of activities, encompassing daily fitness, lifetime sports and nutritional activities, carefully designed to promote healthy lifestyles and social responsibility. Employment options range broadly across several sectors of the industry related to fitness, wellness, health promotion and the health professions. Those settings include camosun.ca/askus worksite/corporate, clinical/medical, community/educational and the private/ commercial sectors. A work experience internship is an optional component of this program. The opportunity will also be provided to complete professional licensing in a variety of lifetime sports (e.g., ski, canoe, kayak) and coaching levels (e.g., Competition Introduction, Part A/B). Typical positions for the graduates include fitness instructors, group exercise coordinators, personal trainers, wellness/ health promotion specialists, and program or facility managers. Note: Some of these positions require additional advanced or specialized training, certification, or advanced degrees.

University Transfer Courses Transferability of Camosun courses to universities is negotiated on an individual course basis with each university. Students must refer to the transfer guide online to ensure that the courses do transfer to their desired university. Courses that transfer to at least one of UBC, UVic, SFU, or UNBC are indicated by the following statement: To find where this course transfers, check the BC Transfer Guide. Students wishing to continue their studies at an out-of-province university must have their transcripts assessed individually by the receiving institution. Students are strongly encouraged to consult with the university regarding their admission criteria, GPA requirements, and application processes when planning their program at Camosun. University transfer courses at Camosun College are normally provided on a semester system while some universities offer courses on a year system. This may mean that two Camosun semester courses are needed to obtain credit for one fullyear university course. Students have considerable flexibility in completing their college courses. During each of the Fall and Winter semesters, a full-time student will normally take five courses. A limited number of courses are also offered during the Spring and Summer terms. In order to accommodate students who are unavailable during the daytime, some courses are offered evening and/or weekends. Students wishing to take courses that they intend to transfer towards a university degree program should follow these steps: 1. Consult the university calendar and list the courses the university requires or recommends for the degree. Please note that some degree programs recommend that students select electives that provide a broad, academic background rather than a concentration in one area. In these cases, students select courses which they consider valuable and of interest. • Biochemistry or Microbiology • Biology 1-877-554-7555 / 250-370-3550 camosun.ca/askus 2. Refer to the BC Transfer Guide to translate the university courses into equivalent courses at Camosun. 3. Ensure that prerequisites are met for each course. Consult the course descriptions at the back of this calendar and please remember that a minimum grade of "C" is required for each prerequisite. In some cases a higher grade is required. Note: It is the student's responsibility to ensure that their University Transfer program is appropriate to a chosen educational goal. Academic Advisors and department Chairs are available to assist students in planning their programs.

COMM 201 1-877-554-7555 / 250-370-3550 Internship 2 Total Credits Credits 3.0 3.0 camosun.ca/askus Criminal Justice The Criminal Justice program offers students two educational options: the Associate of Arts Degree in Criminal Justice and the Diploma in Criminal Justice. Both options provide students with two years of post-secondary education in this field, though typically associate degree students will continue on to a bachelor degree, while diploma students will pursue employment in the field. Both options share common core curricula for the first year of the program. At the completion of Year 1, students can choose the option best meeting their needs. Many of the courses offered in the Criminal Justice program are transferable to a number of Bachelor programs, both within criminology or criminal justice, as well as other related disciplines. All graduates leave with a broad base of theoretical knowledge, skills, and abilities suitable to a diverse range of entry-level criminal justice positions including: law enforcement (public, military, deputy sheriffs, by-law enforcement, private security); adult, youth and community corrections; victim services; restorative justice; customs border services; and numerous other related opportunities. While employers recognize both the Associate of Arts Degree and Diploma in Criminal Justice as the education required to access entry-level employment, diploma graduates leave with a skill set that allows them to function in these positions with a reduced need for additional training. Students who wish to qualify for both the Diploma in Criminal Justice and the Associate of Arts Degree in Criminal Justice may apply 75% of the earned credits of the existing Camosun diploma or associate degree towards the required credits for one additional Camosun diploma or associate degree. All students are strongly encouraged to attend one of the Criminal Justice information sessions prior to starting their first semester. Associate of Arts Degree in Criminal Justice The Associate of Arts Degree in Criminal Justice provides two years of interdisciplinary studies in line with provincially-established associate degree requirements. The program of studies provides a fundamental understanding of law, the justice system, criminology, and issues faced by government, community and practitioners. 66 The Associate of Arts Degree will be particularly attractive to students wishing to continue on to traditional upper-level studies focusing on theory and research in criminology. It provides all the courses necessary to transfer directly to Year 3 in the Criminology degree program at Simon Fraser University or other justice-related bachelor degree programs. These students will leave with academic skills needed for success in upper-level studies, including the ability to communicate clearly and appropriately, to think critically, and conduct effective research. Completion of a Bachelor of Criminology provides access to specific career areas such as probation, parole, crime analysis, policy analysis, CSIS intelligence analysis, correctional counselling, immigration, diversion, and evaluation research, as well as supervisory positions within the criminal justice system. Options at Simon Fraser University Students can transfer up to a maximum of 60 credits with a minimum overall GPA to be established by the University each year. Students must first achieve general admission to SFU before admission to the Faculty of Criminology. (It is recommended that students planning transfer to SFU have a minimum of a "B" average to qualify for general admission.) Please note that higher GPAs are strongly recommended as students with higher GPAs register first. Diploma in Criminal Justice The Diploma in Criminal Justice prepares students to function as front-line practitioners within the criminal justice field. The applied program provides students with the opportunity to develop knowledge, skills and values necessary to be successful in a broad range of entrylevel positions, with a distinct focus on the integration of theory and practice. Course work also provides an understanding of law, policy, and practice as it pertains to criminal justice. The diploma may be accepted at a number of universities; for the transferability of individual courses to BC universities, refer to the BC Transfer Guide online. Students who earn the diploma will graduate with competencies including effective interpersonal and communication skills, problem solving, basic conflict resolution and mediation, the management of cases, behaviour and emotions, effective interviewing and report writing, and the ability to be reflective practitioners and successful team members. Academic Advisors are available for help with transfer options. Work term experience is an optional component of this program. To graduate with a Diploma in Criminal Justice, Internship designation, students must successfully complete 1 work term and maintain a minimum GPA of 3.0. 1-877-554-7555 / 250-370-3550 Length: Two years Location: Lansdowne Campus Starting: Fall Program Codes: CJ1 Year 1 CJ2 Year 2 Admission Requirements: • Submit proof of "C+" in English 12, or EFP 12; or "C" in 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; and, • Submit proof of "C" in Principles of Math 10, or Foundations of Math & Precalculus 10, or Applications of Math 11, or Foundations of Math 11, or MATH 053, or MATH 057; or "C-" in Principles of Math 11, or Pre-calculus 11; or assessment.

Courses are scheduled in late afternoons or evenings, to accommodate interested students currently working in the field. Placement for practicum may be aided by a student's prior experience working with children who have special developmental needs. Students with prior experience in working with children and adolescents who experience atypical psychological development may have a field placement in mind when completing the practicum component of the program. Efforts will be made to place students in familiar workplaces. Graduates of the program will have acquired the knowledge and skills to understand contributing factors of childhood disorders along with specific pedagogical techniques needed to effect positive change in children with these designations, especially those between the ages of five and nineteen. Students will have been prepared to examine psychological perspectives such as biological, psychological and social influences associated with designations 1-3 and describe treatment applications such as pharmacological, cognitive-behavioural, interpersonal, and individualized education programs.

This program will give students the opportunity to explore who they are as a leader as well as what kinds of things leaders are called upon to do.

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.

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 evidencebased 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.

X-ray images can be film or digital form and serve routine needs or form part of complex investigations. The technologist produces images that a radiologist interprets in order to aid in medical diagnoses. The Medical Radiography program is an intense 24 continuous months of full-time study (without summer breaks), combining didactic and clinical instruction. Students receive intensive theoretical and practical instruction through lectures, labs, online courses, as well as practical experience in the clinical environment. Students are expected to act as surrogate patients to learn positioning techniques, as well as interpersonal skills. Clinical practicums occur within hospital sites throughout the province and provide an opportunity to apply knowledge learned throughout the curriculum. Students will be expected to travel and provide their own accommodations for clinical experiences. There is a high demand for radiography graduates. The health care system is in a transition phase as new technology is establishing new responsibilities of care and treatment. Entering the Medical Radiological field means that you are prepared for lifelong learning as your chosen career continues to change, grow and advance. Opportunities exist for graduates to continue training into imaging specialties such as Ultrasound, Magnetic Resonance Imaging and other specialties. Graduates also migrate into management, equipment sales, research and educational roles. Graduates of this program are eligible to write the national certification examination to become registered with the Canadian Association of Medical Radiological Technologists (CAMRT), which is a requirement to work in some provinces in Canada. 1-877-554-7555 / 250-370-3550 Length: 24 months Location: Lansdowne Campus Starting: Fall Program Codes: MRAD1 Year 1 MRAD2 Year 2 Admission Requirements: This program is a partnership with BCIT and College of New Caledonia (CNC), and a common admission process is being established.

The purpose of the program is to educate nurses to contribute to the enhancement of health for all Canadians and others in the global community. The program fosters critically reflective, independent, and motivated learners and practitioners with an inquiry approach to lifelong learning in their practice. Within this program, learners are prepared to work with individuals, families, groups, and communities in a variety of settings. The program assists students to develop knowledge, competencies and understanding of their own and others' (individuals, groups, communities, populations) diverse experiences of health and healing. By being cognizant of nurses' professional roles and the evolving health care system, students learn to work as partners with clients and other health care providers. Through their understanding of and participation in the evolving health care system, graduates will be active participants and leaders in influencing and contributing to the promotion of health. Students entering the program at Camosun College continue directly (after 2 years, 4 months), to the University of Victoria for completion of a Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing, or may transfer to another partner site if space allows. Through engagement in teaching and learning, critical thinking, and critical reflection, the CAEN program provides baccalaureate academic education for nurses. Successful completion of the Canadian Registered Nurse Exam (CRNE) is required to qualify for registration as a Registered Nurse in British Columbia by the College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia (CRNBC).

At the completion of their education, graduates will be prepared to meet the professional practice requirements, at the entry level, as identified by the College of Registered Nurses in BC (CRNBC) for nursing education programs in British Columbia. Students will also meet the Canadian Registered Nurse Examination (CRNE) competencies. The Nursing program provides graduate nurses with the theory and skills needed to meet the changing health care needs of our society. Emphasis will be placed upon health assessment of individuals, families, communities and populations across the lifespan, and situated in practical experiences as the foundation of nursing theory. Students will be directly involved with clients in local hospitals and community agencies. This will include some evening and weekend hours. Registered Nurses are able to seek employment in a variety of work settings: acute care hospitals, long-term care facilities, clinics and community health agencies. Following additional experience and/or education, RN's may qualify to work in specialized areas. The Camosun College Nursing department is committed to open, transparent processes of evaluation. This means that students are encouraged to be proactive in approaching their instructors about past progress and challenges as each new course starts.

American Sign Language This comprehensive program complies with the provincial American Sign Language (ASL) guidelines for post-secondary education. Courses are taught by immersion; all instructors are deaf and all communication is visual American Sign Language. The programs consists of two levels of ASL, allowing students to earn two credentials, American Sign Language: Prep Level and American Sign Language: Basic Level, if they complete all courses. Students may exit with the ASL Prep credential if they choose to end their studies there. The ASL Prep Level is oriented to individuals who have little or no knowledge of American Sign Language. The focus is on developing a beginning vocabulary and developing basic skills to communicate personal and family information. Students who successfully complete this level will gain limited conversation and informationsharing skills, useful in communicating with friends, neighbours, family members and/or co-workers. The ASL Basic level program builds on skills acquired at the Prep Level, and strengthens skills in conversation, asking clarifying questions, phrasing, use of classifiers, and building knowledge of linguistic functions and grammatical features. Students who complete this level will gain an understanding of deaf culture and basic skills to communicate with individuals who are deaf or hearing impaired. The skills acquired will support work with non-verbal children using some signs. This program provides a complementary credential for people who work with individuals who are deaf or hearing impaired, or have developmental disabilities, such as Community Support Workers, Educational Assistants, Child and Youth Care Workers, Early Childhood Educators, and health care or legal workers. The program structure also supports students who wish to attend simply out of interest. Courses are offered via two access streams: reserved (students are guaranteed a seat to the end of Basic mastery) or unreserved seats (students enroll in courses one at a time and may exit at any time). To complete the full program (Prep and Basic levels), the program length is approximately one year via reserved seats and two years for unreserved seats. Students who have successfully completed ASL training at a recognized institution (using the VISTA curriculum) within the last three years may apply for transfer credit or assessment. Length: One to two years Location: Lansdowne Campus Starting: Winter Program Code: AMSL 1-877-554-7555 / 250-370-3550 camosun.ca/askus 127 Program Completion Requirements: 1) Certificate in American Sign Language: Prep Level - Students must complete AMSL 555V with a minimum grade of B-; and AMSL 501V, and AMSL 502V and AMSL 503V and AMSL 504V with an overall average of B- to receive the Prep Level certificate. 2) Certificate in American Sign Language: Basic Level - Students must complete AMSL 655V with a minimum grade of B-; and AMSL 601V, and AMSL 602V and AMSL 603V and AMSL 604V with an overall average of B- to receive the Basic Level certificate. Herbal Studies Herbal medicine is the ancient use of plant remedies in the treatment of disease. Modern science now allows us to better understand their healing powers and how they can complement traditional medicine. The philosophy behind herbal medicine is to treat the person, not the disease. Our six-month, part-time program educates students to safely create effective, simple, affordable herbal remedies for personal use, using sustainable practices. Students will: • Learn how to identify and use local wild and cultivated healing herbs; • Become knowledgeable in Western, Ayurvedic, and some traditional Indigenous philosophies and their use of herbs; • Create affective, simple, affordable herbal remedies for personal use and learn about sustainable herbal practices; and, • Apply a holistic approach to health and healing with herbs using modern science to enhance and complement their knowledge, efficacy and safety. Students will explore traditional and Western approaches of using herbs for different remedies. The program theory includes an introduction to the physical structure and systems of the human body. Legal and ethical considerations of practicing herbalism will also be discussed. The practical component of this program, "Learning on the Land," includes hands-on herb identification, harvesting, and medicine-making for personal use. As the herbal industry is not presently regulated, this credential provides validation that the student has received a quality education from a reputable public post-secondary institution. While many students will choose to attend for personal interest, this credential serves to raise the standard of the industry and helps to promote a broader acceptance of holistic medicine. This program provides a strong foundation for students to create herbal remedies for personal use and to apply their 1-877-554-7555 / 250-370-3550 knowledge in a community setting. Students may pursue continuing education towards professional membership in the American Herbalist Guild. The program is delivered online. Students should expect to commit 5-10 hours per week to their online study.

The Worker's Compensation Board (WCB) limits its coverage to students who are injured during the practicum component of their college programs only. WCB will no longer provide accident insurance for students who are injured while participating in classroom/lab/shop instruction. Students are advised to check with their program Chair to ascertain if their practicum is covered by WCB. 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).

Apprenticeship Programs Apprenticeship is a type of paid learning or internship for a trade that consists of on-the-job-training combined with in-school post-secondary education/training. 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 • Registered "C" Level Stamp in Log Book. 1-877-554-7555 / 250-370-3550 camosun.ca/askus [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). 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. 141 Apprenticeship program lengths and content are mandated by the ITA.

Early transistor radios used 4 transistors, whereas a modern cell phone uses in excess of 40 million, in a package that fits in the palm of your hand thanks to nanotechnology. Advances in electronic devices continue with ever-smaller components, opening up opportunities for new products and markets in the future. From helping disabled people to see or move, to capturing the energy from the wind or sun, electronics systems are at the heart of these new advances. At Camosun College, we believe graduates of our program should have a broad knowledge of both electronics and computer engineering systems to enable them to embrace high technology in all its forms, and to support local industry in maintaining current products and systems and in creating the products of the future. Nowadays, software and programming are inseparable from hardware. As a result, we have a number of specialized programming courses in the program. As renewable energies are becoming more important, students of our program will leave with an introductory knowledge of this new and expanding area. Students will also take courses in the control and drive systems of electrical motors and will directly apply electronics technology to the renewable energies area. 1-877-554-7555 / 250-370-3550 Co-operative education or internship are optional components of this program.

Descriptions provide a general overview of the course. More detailed information (in the form of a detailed course outline) will be provided by the instructor when classes start. To see course descriptions on our website, click here. Course Description Format Course descriptions in this calendar use a common format, which includes several elements described here. Course Abbreviation and Number Departmental Assessment Departmental assessment refers to an assessment by the department offering the course. Students should have documentation of relevant course work and/or experience to be assessed. Permission of the Chair, Program Leader, Designate or Other Where a requirement indicates that (alternative) entry to a course may be by permission of a Chair, Program Leader, designate or other, it is the students responsibility to ensure a valid 'Permission to Register' form is completed and presented to Enrolment Services prior to registering in that course. The abbreviation and course number identify the course, and they appear on timetables, course registration forms and transcripts. Restricted Courses Credit Values Secondary School Prerequisite Alternatives Credit values are based on a formula of hours per week (spent in and out of class) multiplied by the length of the term. Requirements Prerequisites A prerequisite is a requirement that must be met before registration into the course. Course prerequisites require a minimum grade of "C" or "S" unless otherwise noted. Some courses are restricted to students in career programs and will be noted as such on published timetables. Where a college course has a high school prerequisite, there may also be a Camosun course that can be used as an alternative. For example, the prerequisite for CHEM 110 is Chemistry 11 and the students can use Camosun's CHEM 100 to satisfy this requirement. For more information, click here. Co-requisites A co-requisite is a course that must be taken at the same time (concurrently), as the stated course. Withdrawal from a co-requisite course will automatically result in withdrawal from the courses requiring that co-requisite. Pre or Co-requisite A pre or co-requisite is a course that must be taken either at the same time (concurrently), or before, a stated course. Assessment Refers to the results of assessment testing, most often English, math or computer skills, and/or the evaluation of transfer Language Placement Tests Camosun may accept Language Proficiency Index (LPI) or International English Testing System (IELTS) or Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) scores in place of the English assessment test.
