President's Welcome Welcome to Camosun College! Whether you are here to pursue a degree, diploma, or certificate to advance your career or challenge yourself with new skills and ideas, our great faculty and dedicated staff are here to help you achieve your goal. We like to say, "Camosun is its people," meaning the incredibly diverse bunch of people who create the College's teaching and learning environment. Our students tens of thousands of them over the past 38 years - our staff and faculty, our alumni, and our community partners, all contribute to making Camosun College a wonderful place to learn. A wonderful learning environment means that we continually update our curriculum, instruction, and support services to meet the emerging needs of our students and the community partners and industries who hire our graduates. It means we always strive for excellence in teaching, recruiting the best faculty (many of whom come directly from industry, where they are experts in their fields), and providing them annual professional study leave. It means developing innovative, culturally-relevant programs like the new Indigenous Business Leadership diploma and Archaeological Field Assistant certificate. It means working with partners to create worldclass facilities, like the Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence at our Interurban campus; a state-of-the-art facility that combines high-performance athlete and coaching development services, sports and exercise education, applied research and innovation, and community programming. It means developing our international reach, through an overseas field school in Dalian, China, bringing 600 students from around 2 1-877-554-7555 the world to learn in Victoria, and sending hundreds of our students into the world on study abroad programs. I am so proud of Camosun's reputation as one of British Columbia's leading community colleges. Proud of our faculty, who make sure what they teach actually prepares students for work, and helps "future-proof" their careers. Proud of our students, who earn more of the prestigious Irving K. Barber scholarships than any other single institution in the province. Proud of our support staff who help students with financial aid, academic advising, exam preparation, writing skills, career research, employment opportunities, personal counselling, First Nations support, disability support, library services, recreation, child care, athletics, and much more. I know you'll love Camosun's combination of excellent instruction and strong student support. Of course, success at college means more than just grades. Make the most of your time at Camosun by getting to know your instructors and classmates, joining a student club, trying out for our Chargers sports teams, taking a recreation course or becoming involved in your Student Society. Camosun College believes in your success. Best wishes in your studies this year and in your future endeavours.

The Institute of Adult Studies made its home in the Ewing Building and became the first centre in Canada to offer daytime courses for adults wishing to upgrade to high school graduation. By September of 1971 the final steps toward the realization of a college were taken when Camosun (Lansdowne campus) and the BC Vocational School (Interurban campus) merged to become BC's nineth community college — Camosun College. The roots of the College reach back as far as 1914 when the Young Building was built as Victoria's first Normal School on part of a seven and a half acre plot belonging to the Hudson's Bay Company. The school's enrolment at that time was about 275. From the inception of the Institute, local interest in a community college grew. On October 9, 1970 Victoria residents voted in favour of establishing a college, and soon plans for "Juan de Fuca" College were underway. The provincial government formally approved the college on October 27, 1970. Today Camosun College celebrates 38 years of excellence in education and service to its community. Now one of the leading community colleges in the province, Camosun serves more than 8,600 students in credit and vocational programs and another 7,400 registrations in part-time continuing education courses. Camosun is also one of the 12 largest organizations in Victoria and it acts as an engine of economic growth. Altogether, the region annually receives $816 million in income due to the past and present efforts of Camosun College. During the second world war, the Young Building was converted into a military hospital. It was not until 1946 that the building was returned to its original function. This time, however, it was shared by the Normal School and by Victoria College, which became united in 1955. In 1971 the college councilors voted on a name change, and "Camosun" (pronounced Cam-O-sun) was chosen, as it was an early name for Victoria. It is originally a Lekwungen (Songhees) name for an area of Victoria where different waters meet and are transformed. In 1967 the Normal School and Victoria College moved to the site of the Gordon Head Campus of the University of Victoria and the Institute of Adult Studies was Patricia W es t ich Bay Hwy. an Sa Rd .

The centre is a unique blend of local and national-level sport education, leadership, research and athletic development under one roof. Atop the hill, overlooking the campus, you'll find the Technology Centre and the Centre for Business and Access. 1 I 6 Behind the campus sits the new Vancouver Island Technology Park, providing easy access for Camosun faculty and students entering into partnerships with local industry and research projects. On the north end of the campus, the Jack White and John Drysdale buildings house the offices of Continuing Education and Contract Training and most of Camosun's trades programs. Several entry level, apprenticeship, pre-employment and upgrading programs operate year-round, all providing an effective mix of in-class learning and hands-on shop work. Conveniently close to Interurban Road, the Liz Ashton Campus Centre is the first point of entry for people seeking information about Camosun programs and services. The Liz Ashton Campus Centre houses Enrolment Services, the career resource centre, academic advising, counselling, student and alumni employment services, the bookstore, library, fitness centre, Student Society offices and a number of administrative offices, meeting rooms and classrooms. On the courtyard side of the building the attractive clock-tower faces a totem pole carved especially for Camosun by Richard Hunt, as part of the 1994 Commonwealth Games legacy. 21 In the campus Child Care Centre, infants, toddlers and preschoolers receive high quality daily care. The Centre is surrounded by natural woodland, fields and walking trails. Central to the campus sits the Helmut Huber Cook Training Centre, where the campus community enjoys nutritious and reasonably-priced meals for breakfast and lunch, prepared by students in the Professional Cook Foundation program. In the evening, part of the cafeteria is transformed into the Classroom Restaurant, where chefs-in-training provide a delightful gourmet dining experience. 4461 Interurban Road Victoria BC V9E 2C1 24 INTERURBAN 27 26 ph 250-370-3550 • fax 250-370-3750 Lansdowne Campus In striking contrast to all the facilities on campus, the 1914 Young Building with its famous clock tower and Italian Renaissance architecture, presides over the south-west corner of the campus. After two years of restoration and a comprehensive community fund raising campaign, the Young Building now stands as an historic landmark symbolizing community education and service. With its preserved heritage exterior and modernized interior, the Young Building is now prepared to serve the education and training needs of Victoria for another 100 years. The Isabel Dawson building is the centre for most student services including Enrolment Services, academic advising, financial aid, assessment, disability support services, counselling and the career resource centre. 3100 Foul Bay Road Victoria BC V8P 5J2 Lansdowne campus is located high on the corner of Lansdowne and Foul Bay Roads, offering spectacular views of Victoria and the Olympic mountains.

The Paul Building and Richmond House also provide space for classrooms, labs and offices. The Childcare Centre, at the Argyle House, provides high quality care for toddlers and preschoolers. The campus facilities are surrounded by scenic tree-lined grounds. The Alan Batey Library, opened in 1991, is located prominently in the centre of the campus. In the southeast corner of the campus the Dunlop House serves as a lovely heritage setting for the Hotel and Restaurant Management program's student-operated restaurant. The Dental Health Education Centre, opened in 1990, stands opposite the Library. The newest facility on campus is the Wilna Thomas Building with its adjoining Cultural Centre.

Local 75 of the Canadian Federation of Students College...the final frontier...well, not really, but it IS the start of exploring strange, new ideas...seeking out a new life, studying new civilizations, and boldly going where every single student has gone before. At the Student Society, we're here for you. A number of elected officials, some with special constituencies, are standing by to assist you. Whether you want to get involved in the student movement, need some advocacy, or just some food, we're here for you. As a student, you are part of the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS), a nationally based organization, with provincial counterparts, that advocate student rights and post-secondary education issues on a National and Provincial level. We are everywhere on campus. Resistance is futile. From your free student planner, to the food bank, International Student Identity Card, the Walk Safer program, or the Universal Bus Pass.

We wish you the best of luck in your studies and hope you will swing by and say hello at our local beer gardens.

Our services are free, voluntary and confidential. Our goal is to respond to students' needs and assist students with any issues preventing them from being successful at college. Students attending Camosun College experience changes and challenges, within themselves, with friends and family, living arrangements, life goals, courses and other areas of their lives. Counselling is a place where students can come to talk over their concerns with a qualified professional counsellor in a safe, private and confidential setting. Counsellors help students identify their issues and work through their problemsolving process in a caring, supportive and respectful manner. With the exception of emergencies, appointments for registered students are preferred and may be booked in person or by phone. Appointments are normally 50 minutes long. In general, counsellors meet with students for a maximum of six sessions. INTERURBAN ph 250-370-3550 • fax 250-370-3750 Career Counselling Through career counselling, students learn how to identify a satisfying career direction or educational program which reflects their interests, abilities, work values and preferences. They learn how to research occupations, how to use labour market information, how to set career goals and how to make informed career and life planning decisions. A number of tools are available to assist students with their career exploration. Counsellors may administer various standardized interest or personality inventories when the counsellor and student mutually agree that such questionnaires would be helpful. A nominal fee for materials will be charged for each inventory administered. Educational Counselling Educational counselling addresses matters, often of an individual nature, which are related to academic progress. These might include college adjustment, time management, learning styles, exam or public-speaking anxiety, educational decision-making, conflicts in the classroom or withdrawal from courses. Personal Counselling Personal counselling enables students to develop the skills necessary for personal change. Together with the counsellor, students address issues which are interfering with their success in college life. Such issues might include self-confidence, anxiety and stress management, health concerns, relationship difficulties, sexual orientation, depression, loneliness, grief and loss, sexual or physical abuse, alcohol and drug problems and procrastination. Students explore effective ways of dealing with life as a college student, learning how to implement successful coping strategies and how to resolve personal difficulties. Referrals are made for students requiring long-term counselling or therapy. Cultural Counselling Cultural Counselling refers to the many issues that arise in learning and living in another culture. One such issue is the culture shock that can occur when you enter a new environment. This can involve learning new skills in communication, living with new lifestyles and coping with leaving your language and cultural home. The process of cultural adjustment is an ongoing process that begins prior to leaving your home and continues after you return. Liaison with other Camosun and community services is available for issues of a cultural nature.

The student has met and exceeded, above and beyond expectation, the goals, criteria, or competencies established for this course, practicum or field placement. The student has not met the goals, criteria or competencies established for this course, practicum or field placement. DST NC StudentRecordandTranscriptNotations Notations are placed on a student's record to indicate a status or standing and provide additional information to the student and the College. The notations do not impact a student's GPA. This grading system, based on nine possible grades, was implemented for the first time in September 1990. For example: Credit Letter Grade Grade Points 1 2 3 3 3 4 AB+ C+ 7 6 3 4 5 2 3 15 A C 8 2 Incomplete: A temporary grade assigned when the requirements of a course have not yet been completed due to hardship or extenuating circumstances, such as illness or death in the family. Course requirements must be completed and a grade change submitted within six weeks of the "I" grade being assigned or the "I" grade will convert to an "F". Extensions to this six (6) week period will only be considered for exceptional reasons and will require written approval of the Dean. In Progress: An IP grade assigned for courses that , due to design, may require further enrolment in the same course. No more than two IP grades will be assigned for the same course. For these courses, a final grade will be assigned to either the third course attempt or at the point of course completion. (The "IP" grade will convert to a final grade of "NC" if an alternative grade is not assigned within the specified time limitation for a specific course. If an "IP" grade is registered for a third consecutive term, an "NC" will be issued.) Compulsory Withdrawal: A temporary grade assigned by a Dean when an instructor, after documenting the prescriptive strategies applied, and consulting with peers, deems that a student is unsafe to self or others and must be removed from the lab, practicum, worksite, or field placement. Note: A 'CW' grade can only be assigned by a Dean who must immediately notify the Vice President of Education and Student Services in writing. A 'CW' grade is appealable through the Student Appeals Policy immediately upon issuance, as it will automatically convert to a final grade of "F" or "NC" at the end of the academic term in which it was assigned. Grade Point Average (GPA) Course Description Notation Grade Points X Credit 7 x 3 = 21 6 x 3 = 18 3 x 4 = 12 AUD NS 8 x 2 = 16 2x3=6 73 W GPA is 73 divided by 15 = 4.87 Description Audit No Show: Students who do not attend the first class meeting of a course and who do not contact the instructor within two working days following the first class with a satisfactory explanation for their absence will be assigned a "NS" grade and their seat will be forfeited. Withdrawal: The student has officially withdrawn. Students who do not withdraw prior to official published deadlines and fail to successfully complete the course will be assigned a failing grade. Note: Students who accumulated their grades prior to September 1, 1990, will have their grade point averages based on this nine (9) point system when transcripts are requested. Courses that have not been assigned a credit value will not be used in GPA calculations.

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 only to 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; 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. • non-credit certificates/diplomas; • work products and artifacts; • course challenges (written, oral, performance examinations [e.g. laboratory, clinical, work-site], product assessment, standardized exams); • performance evaluations (e.g. roleplays; live, video or audio presentations; lab demonstrations; simulations; worksite demonstrations); and • documented learning from life and work experiences and accomplishments. Definitions Principles Camosun College recognizes that learning which some students acquire from their life and work experiences may be equivalent to college-level learning. 32 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. 1-877-554-7555 Base Funded Courses: provincially subsidized programming that accommodates the general needs of the public. Non-base Funded Courses: programming that is not provincially subsidized; the program fees are determined by the delivery costs of the program. LANSDOWNE ph 250-370-3550 • fax 250-370-3551 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: • 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. • Submit the signed 'Prior Learning Assessment Application' form to the Enrolment Services office and register and pay fees. Fees 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. Non base-funded PLA courses: Tuition fees are established by the department offering the program or course. INTERURBAN ph 250-370-3550 • fax 250-370-3750 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, can not 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 refer to camosun.ca/policies. Grade Changes 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 only be considered for exceptional reasons and will require written approval of the Dean. Promotion In most cases a "C" or "COM" grade is required to move to the next level of study. However, some programs and/or courses require a higher level of achievement before a student can progress. Where a higher level of achievement is required it will be clearly outlined in the course description chapter of the Camosun College credit calendar. A grade point average (GPA) of 2.0 is normally required to graduate from a Camosun College program. Where a higher GPA is required for graduation it will be published in the Camosun College credit calendar. Grade Notification It is the responsibility of instructors to notify students of their grades. Generally, instructors post grades outside their offices or in the education school office. Instructors will advise as to the particular location. Grades will be posted using Student Numbers. Students with a Camlink account will be able to check their grades online using Camlink. 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. Student Evaluation Procedure Final Examinations 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. In emergency circumstances, a student may write a test or final examination before or after the scheduled time if the student would otherwise be unable to complete the program or course. Exceptions, due to emergency circumstances, such as unavoidable employment commitments, health problems, or unavoidable family crises, require the approval of the appropriate instructor. Holidays or scheduled flights are not considered to be emergencies. The student may be required to provide verification of the emergency circumstance. Invigilators will inform students of any rule which may apply to the conduct of a specific examination. This may include, but is not limited to, rules for the following: • the consumption of food or beverages within the final examination room; • late entry to the final examination room thirty minutes after the scheduled commencement of the examination; • students leaving during the first thirty minutes of the examination; • the use of calculators, cell phones, terminals or other information processing devices; • the access to washroom facilities during the final examination; • the use of supplementary books, manuals or reference sources; • the use of previously completed course material, studio or shop projects or experiments; and, • the provision of special arrangements for any disabled students. Retention of Records All instructors' records of all student marks (e.g. marks, books, breakdowns of marks) shall be retained by the instructional area for twelve 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 twelve months after the submission of the final grade. 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. 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. VISIT US ON THE WEB camosun.ca • SEND EMAIL camosun.ca/info 33 Academic Progress Policy Purpose/Rationale The purpose of this policy is to enhance a learner's likelihood of success and to encourage a learner to use college resources effectively. This policy will define the college-wide standard for academic progress and will establish principles and protocols to assist students, their instructors, and administrative staff to monitor and intervene when a student is "at risk." Scope/Limits This policy applies to students registered in Education Council approved courses and programs at Camosun College. This policy—with the exception of the stage four intervention of academic suspension— is under the authority of the Deans and Directors of schools and administrative units (henceforth called "schools") that provide educational programs. Appeals related to academic probation, removal and suspension fall under the Student Appeal Policy. Principles The College recognizes the considerable effort on the part of students to establish and meet their educational goals and is committed to creating a supportive learning environment as students make progress toward their educational goals. Formal assessment of students' academic performance and the assignment of grades are based on the quality of student achievement compared with the standards and requirements established by the College, the school, the program, and the individual courses. Students are ultimately responsible for their learning and progress and are expected to seek help in a timely manner when they are unable to meet the course requirements. The College is committed to supporting student success and to working with students in achieving their educational goals. When an instructor, during the process of ongoing assessment, determines a student to be at academic risk, the instructor will alert the student and discuss improvement strategies. Because students are ultimately responsible for their progress, they should communicate their progress and challenges to the instructor and act on the improvement strategies. In order 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. 34 1-877-554-7555 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. 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 self-paced courses may register only three times in the same course. LANSDOWNE ph 250-370-3550 • fax 250-370-3551 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 twelve 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 twelve 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. • 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. INTERURBAN ph 250-370-3550 • fax 250-370-3750 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. • Entrance to a program or course of study does not ensure successful completion. financial aid, disability support services, learning skills centre, etc. To enhance the learning environment, the College expects all students to act in an honest and appropriate manner: If a student believes he or she has been treated unfairly in relation to the imposition of the following measures, he or she may seek resolution, within the stipulated timelines, through the process outlined in the Student Appeal Policy. • The College will not tolerate inappropriate student conduct such as academic dishonesty, or disruptive, threatening or dangerous conduct. (See Section C, Examples of Unacceptable Student Conduct.) • The College will take whatever action is necessary to intervene when inappropriate student conduct occurs and will impose disciplinary consequences that reflect the severity and nature of the inappropriate conduct. The College is committed to the provision of a fair and timely appeal process through which student concerns regarding final grades and discipline can be addressed. (See Student Appeal Policy). Imposed discipline will remain in place while an appeal is being considered. Definitions 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. Academic Dishonesty: Obtaining an academic advantage dishonestly through conducts such as cheating or plagiarism. Academic dishonesty also includes gaining admission through dishonest means whether providing false or fraudulent documentation or withholding information or documentation required for admission. This policy does not apply to conduct related to harassment which is covered under the Human Rights Policy. Cheating: An act of deceit, fraud, distortion of the truth, or improper use of another person's effort to obtain an academic advantage. Principles Plagiarism: The presentation of another person's or source's words and/or ideas as one's own. Plagiarism ranges from an entire assignment that is not the student's own work to specific passages within an assignment taken from a source without acknowledgement. (See Plagiarism: Definition and Consequences) Scope/Limits The College recognizes the considerable effort on the part of students to establish and meet their educational goals. To enhance students’ opportunity for success in meeting their educational goals, the College expects members of the college community to act toward each other in a manner that contributes to a positive, supportive and safe learning environment. The College is committed to high curriculum standards: • Every student will be provided a course outline that establishes student expectations and assessment criteria; • Student achievement against the assessment criteria is the basis for grading and evaluation; • Students are expected to meet the course requirements as described in the course outline; • Students experiencing difficulties in meeting course requirements are expected to seek help in a timely manner; • To facilitate learning, wherever possible, staff and faculty will identify where students can obtain extra support that is available through the College; Inappropriate Student Conduct: Any conduct that has the effect of disrupting the learning environment or that is a threat, or perceived to be a threat, to the safety of other students, staff, and faculty, whether conducted on or off campus. (See Examples of Inappropriate Conduct) Decision-maker: Any member of the College faculty, staff or administrator who holds the authority for making a decision regarding final grades or for imposing discipline. Disciplinary Consequences Disciplines are intended to be corrective and to reflect the severity and nature of the inappropriate conduct.

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 LANSDOWNE ph 250-370-3550 • fax 250-370-3551 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 their 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. • 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.

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. VISIT US ON THE WEB camosun.ca A student can withdraw his or her appeal at any stage of the appeal process. If the student withdraws the appeal the matter will be considered closed and no further appeal will be allowed with respect to the same matter. Non-final grades may not be considered for a final stage of appeal. Principles The College recognizes the right and responsibility of its faculty and staff to assess student performance and impose discipline in appropriate circumstances. The College also recognizes the right of students to be assessed in a manner that is fair, just and reasonable and to have sanctions imposed in proportion to the nature and seriousness of their conduct. The College is committed to the provision of a fair and timely appeal process through which student concerns regarding final grades and imposed discipline can be addressed. 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, 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 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 • SEND EMAIL camosun.ca/info 37 and ways in which his or her concerns may be addressed. These decisions must be concluded within five working days of being initiated. The decision of the instructor or decision-maker must be made in writing and copied to the Chair. Failing satisfactory resolution at the instructor or decision-maker level, the student may take his or her concerns to the next level of authority within the school by raising the matter for full discussion with the department Chair within five (5) working days of the instructor or decisionmaker's written decision. These discussions must be concluded within five (5) working days of being initiated and the decision of the Chair must be made in writing copied to the Dean. 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) 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. Final Appeal Stage 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 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. 38 1-877-554-7555 The grounds for an appeal related to inappropriate conduct are: • the student is denying the conduct; • the student is appealing the severity of the discipline; or • new information has come to light that would have an impact on the imposed. Prior to directing that a Panel be convened, the Vice President of Education and Student Services must be satisfied that there is sufficient credible evidence on which the panel might reasonably conclude that one or more of the grounds for considering an appeal listed above have been met. The Vice President of Education and Student Services may; • 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. 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. Student Penalties and Fines Policy Scope This policy applies to all students, past and present, and to all administrative units providing services or loans (library, equipment, or materials) to students, which carry a financial or return obligation on the part of the student. Principles 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. 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 Chapter of the calendar for more information. The Student Appeal Panel Guidelines 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. Paying Fines & Removal of Penalties The Director of Student Services/Registrar will Chair the Panel ("the Chair"). • If students have received library fines, they must return to the library to pay the fine and then have any imposed penalty removed; 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. LANSDOWNE ph 250-370-3550 • fax 250-370-3551 The issuing department will receive payment and remove any imposed penalties as follows: • 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: INTERURBAN ph 250-370-3550 • fax 250-370-3750 • Is the appeal being sought because the fine or penalty was unfairly levied? Please explain. OR • Is the appeal being sought due to unavoidable extenuating circumstances? Please describe and attach any supportive documentation. Withdrawal Policy Purpose / Rationale The purpose of this policy is to establish clear, consistent principles and guidelines for the course withdrawal process. Scope / Limits This policy applies to all students enrolled in college courses. Official withdrawal deadlines do not normally apply to self-paced programs. Principles Camosun College recognizes that students may need to withdraw from course(s). Financial and/or academic penalties for course withdrawals may be imposed depending on whether students withdraw before or after the Fee Deadline or Course Withdrawal Deadline. (See Definitions and Table 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). 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. 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 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. 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); • Submit the form and documentation to Student Services for consideration. • For courses with irregular start and end dates, students must contact Enrolment Services. To Request a Refund and Official Course Withdrawal After the Course Withdrawal Deadline: • Students enrolled in self-paced programs must consult Enrolment Services for withdrawal deadlines. • 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). 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 the above 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. VISIT US ON THE WEB camosun.ca • Submit the completed form and documentation to the Dean’s Office—or, in the case of international students, the International Education Department—for approval. • If approval of late course withdrawal is granted, submit the completed form and documentation to Student Services to request a refund.

Administration Website: camosun.ca/coop Lansdowne Campus: F 128 Interurban Campus: LACC 251 Phone: 250-370-4410 Fax: 250-370-4110 Director: Gloria Darroch Assistant to the Director: Cassandra Price The Co-operative Education & Student Employment Department The Co-op department co-ordinates both the educational and the administrative aspects of the co-operative work experience process. Prior to the field experience, Co-op staff deliver the Workplace Education Prep workshop series, and help students secure work placements with industry, government and other employers. They actively promote the co-op model to the employer community and ensure the visibility of Camosun programs and students. Student developed positions may be eligible for work term credit and students are encouraged to self develop work term positions. Consult with employment facilitators or co-op and internship coordinators for guidance on the development of such positions. Co-operative education enables students to connect their classroom studies to the real world by gaining work experience related to their program area. As the name implies, co-op is an educational process, anchored in a co-operative relationship among the student, the employer and the College. Co-op students function as employees of the co-operating employer organization, and are normally paid at market rates. At the same time, they are also enrolled college students, who work with Camosun instructors and staff to maximize the learning value of their field experience. Students pay tuition and receive college credit for the work term, and they are required to submit assignments demonstrating their achievement of academic, professional, and personal learning objectives. The co-op model has proven highly effective for more than 100 years in North America's leading universities and colleges. Studies show that co-op students enjoy higher academic achievement and motivation and graduate with higher employment rates and earnings. Students value co-op as a great opportunity to 'earn and learn'; to see practical applications of their studies, and to develop valuable work experience and employer references. Employers value co-op as a source of eager and well-prepared talent and often use the co-op process as a means of recruiting permanent employees. Camosun has offered co-operative education since 1987 and places more co-op and internship students than any other community college in western Canada. Co-operative Education and Internship Designations Students may earn either the "Co-operative Education" or the "Internship" designation on their graduating credential, depending on their program of study and the details of their work experience. The Co-operative Education designation requires completion of at least two work terms (three for the Bachelor of Business Administration) of progressively greater challenge, followed by a final academic term. The Internship designation requires completion of one work term, which may fall at the end of the student's program. The minimum work term length is 250 hours for the "Internship" designation and either 270 (quarter system) or 360 (semester system) hours for the Co-operative Education designation. For complete details on requirements for the co-op and internship designations, see the Co-operative Education & Student Employment office. Participation in Co-operative Education/ Internships Co-op information sessions will be held at the beginning of the fall and spring terms to familiarize interested students with co-op/ internships. Co-op information sessions are advertised around the campuses well in advance. Admission Requirements Submission of a signed student application form is a student's commitment to comply with the procedures and requirements of the co-op program as outlined in this calendar. To register in a work term students must: • be registered in a Camosun program with an approved co-op or internship option; • have completed a specified portion (normally at least one semester) of the program; • have a minimum GPA of 3.0 ("C+"); and, • have successfully completed the Workplace Education Prep workshop series (COOP WEP). Additional requirements may apply in some programs. Students who begin a work term but do not successfully complete it, whether due to academic or employment grounds, may be excluded from registration in subsequent work terms. 62 1-877-554-7555 LANSDOWNE ph 250-370-3550 • fax 250-370-3551 INTERURBAN ph 250-370-3550 • fax 250-370-3750 Workplace Education Preparation Workshop Series (COOP WEP) In order to prepare for workplace learning, students first complete the mandatory prerequisite, the Workplace Education Prep workshop series (COOP WEP0 offered by Employment Facilitators from the Co-operative Education & Student Employment department. This seminar is offered several times throughout the year. Students are advised to plan carefully to ensure completion of the Workplace Education Prep series at least one semester/quarter before commencing their first work term. Workplace Education Prep is comprised of several modules designed to provide the student with a range of skills required for obtaining a career-related job. The seminar provides training in core competencies needed for outstanding resume writing and interview skills. Workplace Education Prep ensures students have advanced job-finding, employability, and workplace safety skills. Specialized modules will also provide students with specifics on the employment industry relating to their program of study. In the final module, students are introduced to the Co-op Field Instructor, a member of the Faculty who is responsible for evaluation. Students will be guided on the work term academic requirements and assignments required for successful completion of the work term. Faculty and Co-operative Education & Student Employment staff work together to support and assist students through their work term. • the other institution is a member of the BC Accreditation Council on Co-operative Education; • credit for the work term is recorded on the student transcript from the originating institution; • the student is accepted into a Camosun College program with a Co-operative Education option; and, • the credit from the originating institution was granted for a work term in the same discipline as the Camosun College program into which the student is transferring. Acceptance into a co-op option at another institution does not guarantee eligibility for co-operative work experience in a Camosun program. Students seeking to transfer work term credit from another institution must apply in writing to the Director of Co-operative Education & Student Employment. International Students International students may participate in co-op/internship programs unless excluded by Canadian Immigration regulations relating to employment. The full international fee structure will apply to international students on co-op. Co-op/Internship Work Term Grades To graduate with a Co-operative Education or Internship designation, students must satisfactorily complete the minimum number of work terms and maintain the academic standing required by the program. Work placement grades appear on the students' official transcript as "COM" (complete), "NC" (not complete), or "DST" (complete with distinction). Continuation in co-op will normally require that students achieve "COM" or "DST" work term grades.

The Centre for Sport & Exercise Education, the academic segment of the Pacific Institute for Sport Excellence, offers integrated, interactive and flexible academic programs strongly connected to the pursuit of athletic excellence, and of equal importance, programs responsive to the national health agenda. The efforts of the Centre for Sport & Exercise Education are aimed at the delivery of distinctive programs and education that adopt a new approach to the traditional sport/physical education and health curriculum; beginning with the Diploma in Exercise and Wellness and Diploma in Sport Management, which include a practical internship, and two applied degrees: the Canadian Athletic Therapists Association (CATA) accredited Bachelor of Athletic and Exercise Therapy, and the new Bachelor of Sport and Fitness Leadership. These programs center upon exercise adoption and adherence, health enhancement, sport for all and athletic performance. It is expected that students will possess an optimal level of fitness, being able to obtain certification from various sporting and fitness licensing programs. The CPR and First Aid certifications are mandatory for enrolment in the “practical” component of the program. Opportunity will be provided to obtain CPR and First Aid certification prior to the enrolment in the activity classes. Every program in the Centre for Sport & Exercise Education will have specific requirements concerning attendance, participation, performance and completion time. These requirements will be described in the program and course outlines each student will receive during the first week of the program. The faculty, staff and administration are committed to provide an opportunity for success of every student enrolled by practicing exemplary teaching, advising and guidance. There is also a commitment to secure facilities, learning environment and outreach opportunities to enhance students’ learning and employment potential.

StandardsofAcademicProgress The School of Arts & Science strongly supports student success and endeavours to help students progress toward their educational goals. Our faculty and staff are committed to providing quality education in a learning-centred manner. We will monitor course prerequisites and student progress and endeavour to place students in courses where they can succeed. When progress is unsatisfactory, appropriate interventions will occur. Satisfactory progress requires that a student maintain a Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.0 ("C"). A student whose performance is unsatisfactory will be placed on academic probation. A student in this situation must consult with an Academic Advisor. A student who is on academic probation and who fails to obtain a sessional GPA of at least 2.0 ("C") will be required to withdraw from the School for one year.

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. 18.0 1-877-554-7555 Credits *The student is only required to take two of these three Advanced Media Production courses.

For the student with no public sector work experience, the diploma program will help them enter the field. In order to be gainfully employed in the field, recent high school graduates may find it necessary to combine the classroom with other work and life experience. The Diploma in Public Administration can be taken on a part-time (excluding co-op) or full-time basis. As much as possible courses will be offered in a format that will allow students to continue working while they learn. Distributed education, part-time study and evening and weekend offerings are all options for making this diploma program accessible to working professionals. Some Year 2 courses are offered in alternate odd and even years. There are opportunities for college credit for equivalent learning from educational programs in the workplace and from related work or life experience. The College's Prior Learning Assessment (PLA) initiative will play a role, along with transfer credit for recognized programs. Having completed Year 1, students can transfer to the Diploma in Business Administration program — see details under that program. Some of the courses in the program are also core courses for the Intermediate Certificate in Local Government Management, which supports management staff in the municipal sector. See the departmental Chair for more information. This program is eligible for bridging to the Thompson Rivers University - Open Learning's Bachelor of Business Administration and to their Bachelor of Business Administration (Public Sector Management).

We offer a broad range of certificate and diploma level programs, a Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing, a postdegree in Interprofessional Mental Health and Addictions, and continuing education courses and programs. The faculty, staff and administration in the School of Health & Human Services are committed to developing environments which foster learner success. Within these environments, learners will make informed choices about program content, expectations, linkages to other institutions and career opportunities. Our full- and part-time programs are designed to ensure that learners master the theory and skills necessary for caring, safe and effective practice. A variety of clinics and agencies become the "living laboratories" where supervised practice encourages learners to develop the values and competencies required for health and human service positions. We are assisted by program advisory committees to maintain the high standards necessary for accreditation by licensing agencies, and to promote employment of graduates. Provision is also made for graduates to transfer with advanced standing into related health and human service programs or to pursue further education at the university level. Every program within the school has specific requirements concerning attendance and performance standards. These requirements will be described in a student handbook/ course outline which is available to students in the first week of the semester. The School of Health & Human Services monitors course and program admission requirements and prerequisites to ensure that entry requirements are realistic and supportive of successful student outcomes. During the program, instructors are readily available to consult with students directly regarding the educational requirements of the course and/or program. Ultimately, the student is responsible for his/her learning. The Camosun College Academic Progress Policy applies to all students. Refer to camosun.ca/policies. We use principles of adult education, see ourselves as partners in the learning process, evaluate performance against welldefined learning outcomes and incorporate appropriate educational technology into all courses and programs. We promote the full personal and professional development of each learner for the mutual benefit of the individual and the society in which we live. In the School of Health & Human Services we are: Learning for Practice, Learning for Change.

Changes will be made year by year, and will not affect students currently in the program. However Camosun College calendars from 2007 onwards will reflect the revised curriculum. Students enrolled prior to September 2007 should consult the 2006-2007 calendar or Student Advising regarding course information. Students who first enrolled prior to September 2007 who wish to re-enter the revised program should consult the Nursing Department and Student Advising. Meeting the learning needs of these students will be addressed on a case by case basis. The Camosun College Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing program is a partner in the Collaboration for Academic Education in Nursing (CAEN) and offers a four-year Baccalaureate Nursing program with the University of Victoria and six other BC colleges and universities as well as Aurora College (Yellowknife). 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, 138 1-877-554-7555 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. The credential, the Baccalaureate of Science in Nursing is awarded by the University of Victoria upon successful completion of the four-year program. 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). The CRNE process is external to Camosun College and the University of Victoria. 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 approach- LANSDOWNE ph 250-370-3550 • fax 250-370-3551 ing their instructors about past progress and challenges as each new course starts.

Industrial Trades programs prepare students for provincial and national certification such as the Red Seal Interprovincial Journeyperson Ticket, while graduates from Nautical courses are eligible for licensing by Transport Canada. All Engineering Technology programs are accredited through the Canadian Technology Accreditation Board and may lead to a Certified Technician (C.Tech) or Applied Science Technologist (AScT) certification. Our unique Engineering Bridge programs enables graduates to enter Year 3 of engineering programs at various provincial universities. While the School's programs are designed to build on students' previous experiences, the curriculum system also promotes accessibility from pre-college levels. Students enter a program in the career field of their choice at a level commensurate with their background. Interlocking career ladders with multiple exit points provide the flexibility to enter the workforce at various levels and return for further education when appropriate. Mission, Vision and Values StandardsofAcademicProgress Firmly rooted in thousands of years of nautical, trades and engineering knowledge, the School of Trades & Technology is committed to continuously attest to and expand on its status as one of the premier trades and technical education centres in British Columbia. We strive to endow career practitioners with the skills necessary to succeed in their field of expertise and be respected in a global marketplace. As a technology transfer hub and a centre of industrial excellence we aim to provide regional industry with the facilities and the expertise needed to excel in a competitive world. The School of Trades & Technology fosters an environment that enables students to actively participate in the learning process and become designers of their careers and professional lives. Successful careers ultimately are a result of a student's informed decisions with respect to program content, personal abilities and interests, expectations and employment opportunities. In return, the School in conjunction with the College's support services is responsible for providing advising, career counselling and program information in a timely manner. In the School of Trades & Technology, faculty, staff and students work together to achieve professionalism and professional excellence. Mutual respect, personal integrity and authenticity, as well as a commitment to quality and performance form the corner posts of our success. Whether student or staff - we work in teams where a joint effort is required and excel as individuals when so tasked. Co-operative Education Co-operative Education ("co-op") is an optional component of all Engineering Technology programs. Students have found co-op to be a valuable enhancement to classroom instruction as it provides industry work experience that is relevant to future employment goals. We strongly encourage all prospective students to consider the co-op option when applying to the Technology programs.

Applicants who do not have the necessary admission requirements will need to write assessment or competency tests. 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). Notes: • Use pipe, tubing, hose and belts; 1. Students should be in good physical health and have good hand-eye coordination and manual dexterity. • Use shop equipment; 2. Prospective students should call 250-370-3810 for information on attending a free Information Session. • Oxy-fuel, weld and braze; 3.

ApprenticeshipPrograms Apprenticeship is a type of paid learning or internship for a trade that consists of onthe-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 (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 very common route that is used to obtain an apprenticeship within a specific trade has a person taking a Foundation (entrylevel) 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. VISIT US ON THE WEB camosun.ca 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 (however, Heavy Duty and Commercial Transport are four-year apprenticeships with five levels 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 Industrial Trades Authority's (ITA) certification, students will be eligible to receive a certificate from Camosun College to recognize the completion of the final level of technical (classroom) training in a specific trade discipline.

Electronics students study the fundamental laws underlying the function of electronic and electrical devices so they can use them to solve real world problems and design new products. During the last few decades, software and programming have become inseparable from electronics. Students particularly interested in software may select the Computer Engineering Technology – Renewable Energy option, in which students use Linux, C++ and graphical interfaces to design robotic and energy systems. Those students choosing the Electronics Engineering Technology stream get a more industrial focus, including the control and drive of Electrical Motors and direct application of Electronics Technology in the Renewable Energies area. As renewable energies become more important, all students of both programs will leave with an introductory knowledge of this new and expanding area. These two programs share a common first year curriculum. Students will initially apply to this common program and subsequently apply to enter either the Computer Engineering Technology – Renewable Energy or Electronics Engineering Technology – Renewable Energy program. Program offerings are subject to seat availability and the department's promotion policy Co-operative education or internship are optional components of this program. To obtain a Co-operative Education designation, students combine classroom study with three (3) terms of co-op work experience. An Internship designation requires at least one (1) work term be completed satisfactorily. Alternating between full-time studies and full-time employment, students gain hands-on experience, marketable skills and contacts for future employment opportunities.

Notes: Assessment 1. When a class is offered over different lengths* (e.g. offered in the 14-week Fall semester and in a seven-week term), the hours per week refer to the first delivery format. Refers to the results of assessment testing, most often English, math or computer skills, and/or the evaluation of transfer credit for course work taken at another institution which may result in placement at equivalency to the prerequisite. 2. Classes offered on two-month term or three-month Quarter systems have proportionately more hours per week in class. Offered 3. Some courses will not fit into the above format, such as courses that have both on-campus and off-campus or online components, or are offered in a consecutive module format, or self-paced. In this case, special notes apply. For more information, contact Enrolment Services at 250-370-3550. The semester, term or quarter for which the course is planned* to be offered is identified as: Course Descriptions Credit Values Credit values are based upon a formula of hours per week (spent in and out of class) multiplied by the length of the term.
