Board. 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. BC Vocational School (Interurban campus) merged to become BC’s ninth community college — Camosun College. Today Camosun College celebrates 35 years of excellence in education and service to its community. Now one of the leading community colleges in the province, Camosun serves more than 8,200 students in credit and vocational programs and another 9,500 students in part-time continuing education courses. Camosun is also one of the 12 largest organizations in Victoria with an economic impact of over $170 million per year. 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. 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. During the 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 established by the Greater Victoria School By September of 1971 the final steps toward the realization of a college were taken when Camosun (Lansdowne campus) and the Patricia W es t Bay Hwy. ich an Sa Rd .

More than 3,700 students attend classes at Interurban campus, enrolled in trades, technology, business or access programs. Conveniently close to Interurban Road, the Campus Centre is the first point of entry for people seeking information about Camosun programs and services. The Campus Centre houses Information & Registration, 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. 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 Culinary Arts program. In the evening, part of the cafeteria is transformed into the Classroom Restaurant, where chefs-in-training provide a delightful gourmet dining experience. Joined together in the middle, these buildings provide a welcoming atmosphere for students, with plant-filled atriums and interesting architecture. 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. 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. Interurban is also the future site of a centre for academic and athletic excellence: the Pacific Sport Institute — still in the development stages. Atop the hill, overlooking the campus, you’ll find the Technology Centre and the Centre for Business and Access. Interurban Campus 11 In the campus Childcare Centre, infants and toddlers receive high quality daily care. The Centre is surrounded by natural woodland, fields and walking trails.

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 Fisher building houses the campus bookstore and cafeteria, as well as many classrooms, labs and offices for nursing, biology, physics, chemistry and other disciplines. The Paul Building and Richmond House also provide space for classrooms, labs and offices. The child care centre looks after about 30 children on campus. Each semester, Lansdowne campus has 4,500 students enrolled in university transfer, college preparatory and access programs as well as career programs in arts, science, business, health and human services. 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. 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 In the southeast corner of the campus the Dunlop House serves as a lovely heritage setting for the Hotel/Restaurant Management program’s student-operated restaurant.

As a student society that functions on all of Camosun’s campuses, we are comprised of a board of 22 students who pride themselves in giving back to the college community. Camosun College is also a member of the Canadian Federation of Students, which is a national student organization focused on the progression of student rights, and the advancement of post-secondary education. Some of our key issues are the advocacy of student rights, such as tuition costs, and providing a student friendly environment. We do this through a number of programs such as our Walk Safer program, our U-Pass, our food bank, the International Student Identity Card and our student handbook. The CCSS also funds other resources such as the Women’s Centre, First Nations Student Association (FNSA), Pride Centre and the Students with Disabilities Lounge. Our society also provides members who are full-time students with a health and dental plan, and have recently been able to offer an optical plan. Along with our student representatives, there are our many volunteers and staff members who are available to provide you with assistance. All of these services, along with our clubs and entertainment events, are made possible through the student fees you pay as a member of the CCSS. You are welcome to attend our many functions such as our beverage gardens, guest speakers and movie nights. As a student, we also encourage you to become involved in the preservation of student rights by becoming not only informed of the current issues, but by also participating in student movement campaigns and functions. Tuition costs continue to soar, and it is up to us to help mitigate this with our voice and our actions. So please stop by the Student Society office on your campuses and enjoy your time at Camosun College.

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 problem-solving 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. 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.

Please contact the British Columbia Medical Services Plan for more details. CCSS Student Benefits Plan Website: gallivan.ca/studentnetworks Email: ccssplan@camosun.bc.ca Lansdowne: RH 101 Interurban: CC 117 Phone: 250-370-1614 The CCSS Student Benefits Plan was passed in a student referendum in October 1999 to provide extended health and dental benefits to most full-time students (i.e. limited to those enrolled in eligible programs of nine (9) class hours per week or more). Students will automatically be enrolled in the benefit program at the time of registration. The cost is $48.50 per semester for Extended Health, and $48.50 per semester for Dental Insurance. To obtain a Student Benefits Plan booklet or for more information on the plan, including opt-out deadlines, please contact the Student Benefits Plan office or visit www.gallivan.ca. Accident Insurance The Worker’s Compensation Board of BC (WCB) provides coverage to students who are injured during the off-site practicum component of their college programs. The only exception is that WCB coverage is extended to the College’s on-site Dental Clinic practicum students, and to those who are enrolled in an Apprenticeship course. WCB 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 WCB. 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 WCB coverage.

Registration Process Students will receive information about registration from the Information and Registration office. Note: Admission to the College or payment of a registration deposit in no way guarantees entry to a specific college program as this is dependent upon academic and other prerequisites and upon the availability of seats. Registration Status New Student A new student is one who applies to a college program and has never attended the College (excluding Continuing Education general interest courses). In terms of registration priority and processes, new student status will normally follow continuing students. Career/Vocational Access Student Students enrolled in Access programs (Business Access and Technology Access) may have seats held for them in the next intake of their related career or technical program provided they successfully complete the Access program. Please consult with Information & Registration for more information. Continuing Students A continuing student is a student who has not experienced an enrolment break of greater than 12 months (from the month of their last attendance to the month of their return to the college). A continuing student need not re-apply for admission to the same program. Camlink New Career Program Applicant Camosun College uses a web-based registration system called camlink. Most new and continuing students are required to register using camlink. A continuing student changing his/her program goal or entering a limited access career program, will need to apply to the new program, and should discuss procedures with Information & Registration or an Academic Advisor. Returning Student Returning students include those students who have not applied to or attended the college in the 12 months prior to when they re-apply to the college. 26 1-877-554-7555 LANSDOWNE ph 250-370-3550 • fax 250-370-3551 For some college programs, it is necessary to assign different registration dates to students needing the same courses. The following guidelines direct this process: • Continuing students generally have registration priority, followed by new students, and new applicants. • 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. Note: For some career programs, full-time students have a priority for registration over part-time students. Career & Vocational Programs For career and vocational programs, a program applicant list will be used to contact the appropriate number of qualified applicants for entry into programs. Notification will be made by mail or phone, and applicants will pay a $150 non-refundable registration deposit by a deadline date. This process generally begins in winter of each year and will continue until programs are full. Continuous intake programs are ongoing. Students who have paid their registration deposit will then be contacted to register in their full program. This registration will need to be completed by a deadline date. Students who do not respond by the deadline date for payment of registration deposits will have their application withdrawn and the seat will be offered to another applicant on the list. While Camosun College will make every attempt to provide realistic deadlines, the College cannot accept any responsibility for delays resulting from Canada Post. Applicants who are offered a space in a program but are unable to accept may defer their space one time. University Transfer, Associate Degree, College Preparatory or Part-Time Career Program Students Continuing students generally have registration priority over new students, new applicants or returning students for registration in these program areas.

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. 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 written prerequisite assessment for them to present to the Information & Registration office so that the learner may enter the course without meeting the standard prerequisite requirement. Prerequisite assessments are course specific and do not provide entry to other courses with the same prerequisite. Full-Time Enrolment There are many different guidelines for determining if a student is a “full-time” student. Camosun College’s definition of full-time is that the student be enrolled in at least a 60% of a full-time course load for their program of studies. Some external agencies may set different requirements and guidelines (e.g. Revenue Canada requires students to be enrolled in a minimum of 10 hours per week). For Registration priority some programs at the College (e.g. technologies) require students to carry the full-course load as outlined in this calendar. Audit Registration Students wishing to change their enrolment in a course to audit must officially notify Information & Registration. Enrolled students can only change to Audit during the first 66% of the semester/term/ quarter. Students auditing courses: • must satisfy course prerequisites. Given permission of Instructional Deans, however, students may audit courses without satisfying course prerequisites provided such students are not registered until after all eligible students have been given an opportunity to register; • must pay the same fees as students enrolled in courses for credit; • must change to audit during the first 66% of an academic term; • will be expected to attend classes regularly. No assignments are expected, no examinations are written and no grades are assigned. • will not have an audit grade calculated in the GPA. Attendance 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. Access Foundation Waitlist Procedure Students may waitlist for Access Foundation and self-paced sections up until the second month of the semester (four months). Students will be contacted by telephone or mail when a space becomes available. Student Responsibility Students are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of their program at Camosun College.

Course Waitlist Procedure Students in University Transfer, Associate and Applied Degree, College Preparatory and specified part-time career programs, will be automatically enrolled from the waitlist until the Thursday prior to the last day to add classes, before the class start, if: seats become available, prerequisites are met, and the waitlisted course does not conflict with enrolled courses. Students should not waitlist for a different section of a course they are registered in. 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 only be offered a seat (if available) in one section. During the first week of classes, waitlisted students should attend the classes for which they are waitlisted.

These Standards of Academic Progress statements can be found in each School’s chapter. For further information on the Academic Progress policy refer to camosun.ca/policies/E-1.1.pdf. Student Evaluation Procedure 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. 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, 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 section of the Camosun College Credit Calendar. A grade point average of “2.0” is normally required to graduate from a Camosun College program. Where a higher grade point average is required for graduation it will be published in the Camosun College credit calendar. 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. Final Examinations 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. 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. 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. • the use of previously completed course material, studio or shop projects or experiments; • 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.

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 multi-stage 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 & 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 number three (3) below. Suspensions will be decided by the President and may be appealed to the Board of Governors within the time limit noted in paragraph number three (3) 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. 40 1-877-554-7555 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 decision-maker’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. LANSDOWNE ph 250-370-3550 • fax 250-370-3551 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. 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. INTERURBAN ph 250-370-3550 • fax 250-370-3551 Definitions Decision-maker: Any member of the College faculty, staff or administration who holds the authority for making a decision regarding final grades or for imposing discipline. Student Penalties and Fines 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. Guidelines Paying Fines & Removal of Penalties Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy The issuing department will receive payment and remove any imposed penalties as follows: Note: The complete college policy is available on the college’s website. • 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; • If students have received notice from a collection agency, they must pay the account directly to the collection agency. Appeals Appeals are to be made to the department issuing the penalty or fine. The issuing department may require appeals to be in writing. All appeals must include or identify the reasons the appeal is being sought: • Is the appeal being sought because the fine or penalty was unfairly levied? Please explain. OR • Is the appeal being sought due to unavoidable extenuating circumstances? Please describe and attach any supportive documentation. All fines and penalties will be published, minimally, in the College Calendar. See the Fees and Financial Policies Section of the Calendar.

There are four units in the CCI department. ■ International Student Services Unit ■ Customized Training and Consulting Services Unit ■ International Development Unit ■ Study Abroad Unit Through the activities of this department and each of its four units, working closely with the Schools and the Departments of the College, Camosun College contributes to the internationalization of our students, our college and our community. 9:00 am to 4:00 pm 9:00 am to 5:30 pm 9:00 am to 2:00 pm Camosun College has welcomed thousands of international students over the past 20 years and the number of international students choosing the College as their study abroad destination grows in number and geographic representation every year.

The Internship designation requires completion of one work term, which may be paid or unpaid, and 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-op designation. For complete details on requirements for the Co-op and Internship designations, see the Co-op office (or hyperlink to Criteria doc after EMT approval).

(Cand) Administrative Assistant: Alvina Snell Lansdowne Campus: F 128 Interurban Campus: CC 251 What is Co-op? 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, and 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 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 coop 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. 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 co-operative work experience. The “Co-op” designation requires completion 50 1-877-554-7555 Co-operative education at Camosun College is selective. Students are admitted to co-operative work terms on the basis of academic achievement and demonstrated employability skills. 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 “C+”; Programs with Co-operative Education Options • have successfully completed COOP 100, a work-term preparation course. Co-operative work experience is available in only some Camosun programs. In most of these it is optional, meaning that a student may graduate from the program without co-op experience. 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. New Co-op and internship options are being created. Check with your program or the Co-op office for current information on options and designations. The following programs offer co-operative work experience leading to the Co-op and/ or Internship designations: Internship (Optional) Applied Chemistry and Biotechnology Diploma Applied Communications Diploma Coop (Optional) Bachelor of Business Administration Accounting Option Business Administration Diploma (all options) Civil Engineering Technology Diploma Computer Systems Technology Diploma Electronics Engineering Technology Diploma Environmental Technology Diploma Human Resource Management Advanced Diploma Managing for Government Advanced Diploma Mechanical Engineering Technology Diploma Office Administration Certificate Professional Golf Management Advanced Diploma Co-op and Internship Designations Admission requirements Public Administration Diploma Coop (Mandatory) Hotel Restaurant Management Diploma LANSDOWNE ph 250-370-3550 • fax 250-370-3551 Work term schedules The schedule of co-op work terms differs from one program to another. Typically, students alternate between on-campus studies and work terms varying from three to 12 months in length. A ‘parallel’ pattern, which would allow students to combine part-time studies and part-time co-op employment, is under discussion for some programs. For information on work term schedules for specific programs, see the relevant program section of the Calendar. It is the student’s responsibility to plan a sequence of studies that will allow completion of the requirements for the intended credential and designation. 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 COOP 100 pre-employment seminar, 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. During the co-op term, department members work with students and employers to develop customized learning plans for each work placement, and periodically monitor students in the field. At the end of the work term, they evaluate students on their field-based learning, and help them integrate their field experience into their further studies. INTERURBAN ph 250-370-3550 • fax 250-370-3551 The department participates in setting Camosun standards and requirements for experiential learning, and provides leadership and support for programs where Co-op and Internship options are offered. Work term grades Co-operative work terms are considered Camosun College courses. Work term grades appear on the student’s official transcript at “COM” (complete), “NC” (not complete) or “DST” (complete with distinction). In programs where co-operative work experience is optional, the academic credit for the work term is over and above the mandatory credit for the program. Work term grades are not taken into account in calculating GPA. Students are graded on the basis of work term assignments (typically including a work term portfolio), as well as participation in structured learning activities. The employer’s assessment of the student’s performance on the work term also contributes to the work term grade. Work term transfers • attend a Workplace Education Prep orientation session for your program area or School. At least one term prior to the work term: • submit an “Application for Co-operative Work Experience” form to the Co-op office; • enrol in and complete COOP 100. During the term prior to the work term: • conduct a placement search, with assistance and guidance of the Co-op staff. During the application period for the work term: • Web declare and pay the non-refundable $150 deposit. By the registration deadline for the work term: • register in the work term.

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. Application process Students interested in participating in coop should attend a Workplace Education Prep orientation for their program area. Orientations are normally held during the first six weeks of the academic year, and are tailored to students in particular programs or Schools. Normally, the co-op ‘cycle’ involves the following steps: In the first six weeks of the academic year: • watch for notices and announcements; be provided during Co-operative Education orientations and on the Co-op Schedule of Activities. (See Co-operative Education fee and refund policies). Work terms vary in length according to each program’s schedule and are related to the student’s program of study and individual interests. In order to receive credit for the work term, student-developed positions must be approved by the Co-operative Education faculty. International students may participate in Co-op programs unless excluded by Canadian Immigration Regulations relating to employment. The full international fee structure will apply to international students on Co-op. To graduate from a Co-operative Education program, students must satisfactorily complete the minimum number of work terms and maintain the academic standing required by the program. For further information on Co-op, contact the Co-operative Education department: 250-370-4405. • participate in a Co-op on-site meeting (actual or virtual); Usually during the term following the work term: • Attend a post-employment meeting. International students International students are eligible to participate in co-operative work terms in compliance with Canadian immigration regulations. The international student tuition fee structure applies to co-operative work terms. General Regulations The Co-op application process includes: attendance at a Co-op orientation; submission of a Co-op application form; and participation in a learning expectation meeting. 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 the calendar and the Co-op Student Handbook. Students accepted into Co-operative Education register and pay a non-refundable registration deposit of $150 generally one full semester or quarter before the Co-op work term begins and prior to the first day of postings. This deposit must be paid at least three business days prior to registering for the work term. The balance of Co-op tuition is due and payable 15 days after the start of the semester/quarter in which the work term takes place.

The following courses are defined as Social Science courses at Camosun College: The Associate Degree Program is designed to provide two years of study in an academic discipline. Students complete 20 courses and obtain an Associate of Arts or an Associate of Science Degree. With an appropriate level of specialization the degree will indicate a discipline of concentration. Students who obtain an Associate Degree are individuals who have successfully completed a well-rounded two-year program of studies and who are ready to meet new challenges in employment or further education. Holders of an Associate Degree have demonstrated both the commitment and competence needed for success in post-secondary education and in the workforce. Graduates will be able to apply for transfer to the third year of a general or disciplinespecific program at a receiving university in British Columbia. At Simon Fraser University the minimum admission average for Associate Degree students is established each semester at a level of 0.25 GPA points less than that required for regular transfer students. The University of Northern British Columbia grants priority admission to students with an Associate Degree, and several British Columbia universities grant transfer credit for all courses taken to complete an Associate Degree. Surveys show that AD graduates have greater success at university than other transfer students. Students enrolled in the Associate Degree Program will have high priority when registering for courses at Camosun. Every effort is made to timetable courses so as to meet the program needs of these students. A minimum of 20 University Transfer courses must be completed with a minimum overall average of “C” (cumulative GPA of 2.0), and 25% of these courses must be completed at Camosun College.

Students are strongly encouraged to consult with the universities 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.

The two-year program of study is ideal for students wishing to access occupations within the criminal justice system such as police officer, customs inspector, correctional officer, youth worker, by-law enforcement officer, or deputy sheriff. Through the examination of central issues in the field of criminology, the structure and processes of the Canadian justice system, students are exposed to the knowledge, skills and values needed to deal with complex problems within this field. Options at Simon Fraser University The Associate of Arts Degree (Criminal Justice) provides all of the courses necessary to transfer to third year in the Criminology degree program at SFU. Completion of the Associate of Arts Degree does not preclude later transfer to other institutions granting degrees in this or related disciplines. Students intending to complete a degree in Criminology or Criminal Justice are encouraged to make note of the various transfer options and the selection of a program of studies which would best facilitate the transfer. Students can transfer up to a maximum of 60 credits. A minimum overall GPA is 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 GPA’s are strongly recommended as students with higher GPA’s register first. Students wishing to obtain an Associate of Arts Degree in Criminal Justice and complete the requirements for transfer to Simon Fraser University’s Criminal Justice degree program should take the following electives (refer to timetables for course availability): Elective 1 Elective 2 Elective 3 Elective 4 Elective 5 ENGL 160 CRIM 135 or 235 or 288 or 290 or PSYC 250 CRIM 254 or 274 or 286 CRIM 260 or 290 or ANTH 250 Any first or second year non-English Humanities course Diploma in Criminal Justice The completion of two years of study in Criminal Justice at Camosun College can also facilitate transfer to the third year in a criminal justice or criminology degree program at a number of Canadian universities. Completion of a university degree in criminology or criminal justice ensures eligibility for positions in probation, parole, offender case management, correctional counselling, immigration, diversion, and evaluation research, as well as supervisory positions within the criminal justice system. Many of the courses offered in the Criminal Justice Program are transferable to a number of degree programs, both within criminology or criminal justice as well as other related disciplines. For the transferability of individual courses to BC universities, consult the British Columbia Council on Admission and Transfers at bctransferguide.ca.

The first year of study provides an intensive foundation of exploration and design intended to promote disciplined inquiry, experimentation, vocabulary, skill, critical awareness and an openness of mind. At the second year level, the student continues exploration and design with particular emphasis directed towards contemporary concepts and media, and is also obliged to establish an in-depth program of personal research. At the conclusion of the program, students are enabled to build a portfolio that illustrates competence and achievement to prospective clients and employers, and/or indicates their growth potential to institutes of advanced study. Program graduates are currently employed as animators, filmmakers, potters, museum and gallery personnel, art studio technicians, costume designers, painters, etc., and many are enrolled or have completed further studies at university (BEd, BA, BFA programs) and art colleges across Canada. Students planning to transfer to a university degree program should consult with an Academic Advisor, INTERURBAN ph 250-370-3550 • fax 250-370-3551 program faculty or the university to which they plan to transfer in order to discuss additional academic course requirements. Because of the way each succeeding term in the program builds upon skills and concepts developed or refined in courses they are currently taking, students receiving less than a “C” grade in any course are not permitted to continue their studies in the Visual Arts program but may reapply for admission to the next appropriate intake. In addition to the program outline below, ART 290 — Independent Studies, is offered for additional study (see course descriptions and academic policies). Note: The department offers a variety of university transfer courses for students who have an interest in taking art courses on a part-time basis. ART 100, 101, 128, 150, 170, 175, 180, 190 and 228 are university transfer courses, generally offered in the evening. See course descriptions later in this calendar. Length: Two years Location: Lansdowne Campus Starting: Fall Program Participation Requirement(s): Science Foundations • Because of the way each succeeding term in the program builds upon skills and concepts developed or refined in courses in the preceding term, students receiving less than a "C" grade in any course are not permitted to continue their studies in the Visual Arts program but may reapply for admission to the next appropriate intake and only if there is a seat available. This one-semester program provides students with the opportunity to complete admission requirements for several programs offered by the School of Arts & Science. Completion of this program will lead students into further studies in Applied Chemistry & Biotechnology, Environmental Technology, and the Associate of Science Degree. It is strongly recommended that students contact Academic Advising for course planning in this program.

Competencies developed through participation in the program are also of ready application by any supervisor or manager as they undertake the management of their employees. This program is primarily designed for the part-time learner who may be currently employed in human resources or as a supervisor/manager, or as an employee wishing to enter these occupations. The program may be taken on a full-time basis. However the full-time learner must expect several courses to be available only in the evenings. Co-operative Education is an optional component of this diploma that allows learners the opportunity to integrate their studies with a paid period of relevant work experience. Graduates not already employed and those participating in the Co-operative Education option should expect that most employment possibilities in this field would be found beyond the Greater Victoria region.

In the ECCE program students progress through an interrelated series of courses and practice designed to integrate theoretical learning with practical experience. The program incorporates the knowledge and competencies historically foundational to the field, as well as those identified by contemporary research. There are many employment opportunities for graduates of the Early Childhood program. Graduates are employed in licensed pre-schools and child day care centres, family child care homes, recreation centres, drop-in parent/child programs, out of school care programs and other child minding services. Graduates who take further education may find careers as licensing officers or consultants. There is an ever increasing demand for well qualified early childhood educators.

The program will assist students to develop sensitivity to people’s experiences with health and healing. By being aware of the nurse’s professional role, students will learn to work as partners with clients and with other health care providers. The Camosun College 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 five other BC colleges and university colleges as well as Aurora College (Yellowknife). Students entering the program at Camosun College continue directly, (after two years, four months), to the University of Victoria for completion of a Baccalaureate Degree in Nursing. 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 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/or weekend hours. 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. Faculty work as a team to maximize learning opportunities and enhance the quality of instruction. Evaluative feedback about current and past student progress is shared by course instructors with other faculty in the Nursing department as needed in order to promote student success. The CAEN Program, after four years, prepares graduates to write the Canadian Registered Nurse Examination and for subsequent licensure as Registered Nurses with the College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia (CRNBC). Registered Nurses are able to seek employment in a variety of work settings: acute care hospitals, longterm care facilities, clinics and community health agencies. Following additional experience and/or education, RNs may qualify to work in specialized areas. Students who enrol in this program will receive a detailed Nursing Department Handbook which provides further information regarding the guidelines and procedures affecting the program. Opportunities for prior learning assessment of knowledge, skills and attitudes gained through education, life and work experiences may be offered to learners who wish to acquire credit in selected Year 1 courses in the Nursing program, resources permitting.

The School features a curriculum system which promotes accessibility and provides clearly defined pathways from pre-college level to third year university program eligibility. Included in the access system are pre-employment and entry level trades programs, as well as technical and engineering bridge programs. Students enter a program in the career field of their choice at a level appropriate to their background. They may leave after graduating from any component of the system and return for further education when appropriate. The Trades programs prepare students for provincial and national certification. All engineering technology programs have received National Accreditation through the Canadian Technology Accreditation Board. Awards The school offers an extensive array of awards with support from the community and local industry. Award recipients are recognized at a ceremony each spring. The School of Trades and Technology fosters the environment, which enables students to actively participate in learning to meet their career goals. Successful outcomes are in part, a result of informed choices made by students about the program content, expectation, laddering and transferability within the College and to other institutions and also career opportunities. The School, in conjunction with the College’s Student Support services, is responsible for providing advising, career counselling and program orientations in a timely manner. The School of Trades and Technology monitors the performance of all registered students. Working within the principles and guidelines of Camosun College, unless otherwise specified by the department, after receiving an unsatisfactory grade, the student is permitted to repeat the course only once. The Camosun College Academic Progress policy applies to all students. For information on the Academic Progress policy, please refer to camosun.ca/policies/ E-1.1.pdf. Student Responsibilities The student is ultimately responsible for his/her learning and meeting the requirements for successful completion of the course and/or program. All students are encouraged to communicate issues concerning the course and program with their instructor and Chair/Program head, respectively. The School encourages full participation and active learning by attending all scheduled classes. VISIT US ON THE WEB camosun.ca Trades Related Programs A minimum grade of “B-” (70%) mark overall is required to pass the technical training portion of an apprenticeship program. Students with a failing grade will be given one opportunity to repeat a program. A minimum of 70% average is required for pre-employment and most ELT programs. The competency-based programs in Plumbing, Electrical and Automotive require an 80% (“B+” grade) to pass each module. All programs have a mandatory attendance requirement. A student who misses three days in an apprenticeship class will be required to withdraw from the course. In exceptional cases, the Chair may recommend an exemption to the policy. The final decision on withdrawal from a program will rest with the Dean. Technology Related Programs Students who fail to achieve a “C” in a program course will not be allowed to register to re-take that course ahead of students taking it for the first time. If a student receives a “D” in a required course prerequisite or an “F” in any required course, the student may repeat the course only once. All Programs A student who cannot complete the program without exceeding one of the above guidelines is required to withdraw from the program and is referred to the appropriate College support services. The student may then register in other College programs provided that the appropriate prerequisites are satisfied. When required to withdraw from the program, the student becomes eligible for re-entry to the program after two program intake cycles. Engineering Bridge Programs The Engineering Bridge programs including Civil, Mechanical and Mining Bridge to the University of British Columbia and Electrical, Computer, Mechanical and Software Bridge to the University of Victoria are developed in partnership with the respective university. Students enroling in these programs are also enroling with the university. As such, these programs are not covered by the College’s policies on admission, academic progress and promotion. Students must take the full program of studies and are not permitted to take these programs on a part-time basis for direct university admission.

Students should be in good physical health and have good hand-eye coordination and manual dexterity. • Describe frames and frame service; 2. Prospective students should call 250370-3810 for information on attending a free Information Session. • Test and service manual and power steering systems; Applicants who do not have the necessary admission requirements will need to write assessment or competency tests. 3. Some employers may require additional high school level courses (e.g. English 12, Math 12, Physics 11). • Perform wheel alignments; 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. Automotive Mechanical Repair Technician & Trades Programs All admission requirements for entry into Trades programs are as stated in this calendar, but students should be aware that many employers require completion of grade 12 for entry to employment. 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). Entry Level Trades Training The intent of this collection of programs is to provide skills and knowledge necessary for initial entry into specified occupations and trades.

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 of their choice. The Industry Training Centre will register all Agreements, provide Trade Worker Identification numbers *(TWID)/ Registration number, Apprenticeship Identification numbers and provide general information and schedule *challenge and certificate examinations. The apprentice is responsible for selfregistration of technical training needed throughout the apprenticeship and to notify their employer of apprenticeship class enrolment. 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 an entry-level trades training program at a College.
