1 Academic POLICIES and PROCEDURES CENTENNIALCOLLEGE.CA
2 Academic Policies and Procedures Most Centennial programs are eight months to three years in length. Bachelor s degrees take four years to complete. Upon successful completion of their program, all graduating students are awarded a diploma, certificate or bachelor s degree. This credential reflects the academic standards established by the College for our programs, in conjunction with professional and educational agencies. Student Number The first time you apply to the College, a nine-digit student number is assigned to you. It appears on your admission and registration papers. That number is the key to accurately maintaining all your records and files as a Centennial student. Academic Year We divide the calendar year into three semesters: Fall: September to December Winter: January to April Summer: May to August The academic year for most of our full-time, post-secondary programs is two semesters. Some programs use a three-semester format. You may get more information about the academic year for your program from any Enrolment Services Office. Each semester is typically 15 weeks in length. Under the Freedom of Information and Protection of Individual Privacy Act, under the legal authority of the Ministry of Colleges and Universities, Act R.S.O. 1980, Chapter 272, S.S.; R.R.O. 1980, Regulation 640, Centennial College is required to have written consent from applicants or students to release any information to a third party (e.g. employers, relatives, Social Services, Worker s Safety and Insurance Board or other government agencies). MyCentennial: Your Academic Record Online As a student of Centennial College, you have access to mycentennial, the College student portal that takes information access to a whole new level. Visit mycentennial at my.centennialcollege.ca and go to Centennial Links. You will be able to: pay fees including parking and locker register for your semester courses view your grades view your unofficial transcript degree/diploma audit (an evaluation of your academic record to determine if you are ready for graduation) view holds or restrictions on your registration access your personal information (view and make changes to your address and phone number) view your fee statement check your registration status access and print your T2202A tax form(s) 194 /Academic Policies and Procedures Connect with MyCentennial mycentennial is a free web service that gives all registered students personalized, online access to College announcements. , grades, timetables and research tools from any Internet connection. mycentennial is a primary source of communication from the College. mycentennial can be accessed from the front page of the Centennial College website or directly at my.centennialcollege.ca. Enter: 1. Your login ID, which is your nine-digit student number 2. Your initial password which is your date of birth (Note: you will be asked to change the password upon initial login.) For more information, call the Help Desk at , ext General Education To graduate from most programs, you must take general education courses as described below. General education courses are offered in four categories: Arts in Society Civic Life Social and Cultural Understanding Personal Understanding Science and Technology In the first semester of most programs, your general education course is prescribed. This means your program requires that you take the assigned course. Here are the general education requirements you will need to graduate: Two-semester programs one program-mandated general education course one elective Four-semester programs one program-mandated general education course GNED-500 Global Citizenship one or two electives (depending on your program of study) Six-semester programs one program-mandated general education course GNED-500 Global Citizenship two electives If you are required to take additional English or math courses due to your skills assessment results, or you must repeat prerequisites due to receiving failing grades, you should note that this could delay the completion of your program, that it will likely require you to pay additional tuition fees, and that it might affect your eligibility for financial aid. TRANSFER CREDIT FOR GENERAL EDUCATION If you attended an accredited university or another college, you may be eligible to apply for transfer credit (OACs are not eligible for general education credit). A course-by-course match is required for the program-mandated course. For electives, it is not necessary to have a courseby-course match. For more information about transfer credits, see page 15. Co-op Education Most three-year advanced diploma programs in business and engineering technology offer the option of a co-op education. This arrangement combines academic courses and related paid work experience with approved employers. In most cases, your four-month work terms will alternate with academic terms (after semester 3), so you won t have the traditional summer break between academic years. Co-op education staff work closely with students to make their work experience as meaningful as possible. However, finding and arranging for the job is ultimately the student s responsibility. Staff also work with a wide variety of organizations in business and industry to promote the program and locate appropriate available positions. As part of your co-op education, we will help you with: preparing your resumé learning job search techniques interviewing skills defining on-the-job expectations setting and achieving your objectives developing your academic and career potential. To qualify for co-op work terms, you must complete 80 per cent of year one courses, achieve a minimum grade of C in COMM- 170/171 and a minimum GPA of in Engineering Technology and Applied Science and Business programs. An additional fee is payable to cover administrative costs (also see Co-op Education, page 18). For more information, call , ext Grade Report Your grades are available to you online through mycentennial (my.centennialcollege.ca) at the end of each semester. Grade reports are not mailed. Because this is confidential information, we do not give out grade information by phone. If you are enrolled in one of our degrees offered jointly with UTSC or Ryerson University, you will receive your grade report from the university.

The student has up to 12 calendar months after the scheduled end of the course to complete requirements as determined by the instructor who assigned the I and to thereby qualify for a passing grade. After 12 calendar months, an outstanding I grade will be converted to F or FNA, and thereafter, the course must be repeated to achieve a passing grade. ** In some programs, these course grades may not be considered as a passing grade, and a higher passing grade may be required. Note: A different grade system, using numerical grades, applies to the Bachelor of Science Nursing (BScN) degree program and grade reports are issued by Ryerson University at the end of each semester. Incomplete Grade You may have done satisfactory work throughout a course, but were unable to complete all course work for reasons beyond your control. In this situation, your professor may agree to assign you an I grade, to allow you time to complete the missing work. As part of the I grade, your professor will set out what you need to do to get a final grade in the course, and how much time you have to complete the work (no more than one year after the I grade is posted). After one year the I grade is converted to an F grade (failing grade) and students have to repeat the course to obtain credit. Supplemental Exam Students are often required to obtain passing grades in their final examinations as well as maintaining an overall passing grade in a course. However, there may be times when a student who has been passing all other requirements, fails a final examination due to extenuating circumstances. The College will provide an opportunity for the student to raise the failing grade to the minimum passing grade. In this case, the student who is passing in the course, but fails the course as a result of failing the final examination, may be permitted to write a supplemental examination as determined by the faculty and the Chair of the department. The supplemental examination should normally occur within two weeks after the final grades are posted. Apprenticeship programs may have criteria and processes for supplemental examinations that vary from general College policy. Procedures for supplemental examinations may vary among School departments and may vary based on accreditation requirements. Supplemental exam results will not be substituted for the entire previous course grade but will be computed as part of the final grade calculation. The supplemental final examination will be designed to replace the final examination as described on the course outline. The GPA will be calculated with the grade as usual to a maximum of 60 percent. See your school program advisor or program coordinator for further details of the supplemental exam process and grading. Supplemental exams have a minimum fee of $35 for each supplemental exam administered to a student. Schools may determine a higher fee where costs associated with the examinations require it. Academic Continuance Students who meet or exceed school or program academic standards are considered to be in Good Academic Standing (GS). It should be noted that the minimum academic progress standards are higher in some programs due to external regulatory or placement requirements. In such cases, students will be expected to adhere to those standards. Such standards must be published and made available in writing to students prior to the beginning of their enrolment in the program or as they are modified. Students whose academic record does not meet school or program standards are subject to the following: Conditional Academic Standing (CS), Probationary Academic Standing (PB), Academic Suspension (AS), and Academic Debarment (AD), and may require the approval of their program Chair before being allowed to continue in the next semester or program segment. For unique conditions which relate to academic continuance, refer to your program s official curriculum and/or the course outline. The Academic Appeal Application form is available from any Enrolment Services Office. Refer to: The Student Code of Conduct Policy and Procedures Academic Standing The standings are determined on the basis of a full-time enrolment of a minimum of 70 per cent of the course load for a given semester and are defined as: Academic Standing Good Academic Standing (GS) Conditional (CS) Probationary (PB) Academic Suspension (AS) Academic Debarment (AD) Description All school or program standards have been met or exceeded. These include a minimum term average of 2.00 and a pass in all courses taken, but may be higher for some programs. A student will initially be placed on conditional academic standing if their term grade point average falls between 1.00 and 1.99 or they have failed a course in the current semester. A student will be placed on probationary academic standing if, while on Conditional Academic Standing, their term grade point average falls between 1.00 and 1.99, or they fail a course in the current semester. A student will be placed on probationary academic standing if at the conclusion of any semester their term grade point average falls below Academic Suspension will result when a student on Probationary Standing maintains a term Grade Point Average of 1.99 or lower or fails an additional course in the relevant term. Such students will be suspended from their program of study for a minimum of two semesters and may be permitted to resume their program upon completion of the suspension. A second academic suspension from the same program will result in a two-year debarment from that program with the option of re-applying for admission. During this period, the student will be permitted to apply to another program at the College. Academic Policies and Procedures/ 195
4 Successful Completion of Program Requirements Students must successfully complete all program requirements in order to be eligible for graduation, and may be required to complete said requirements prior to progressing from one level of their program to the subsequent level. Academic Appeals Students have the right to appeal any action or decision which may affect the ultimate evaluation of their performance in a course or program. Academic appeals are limited to matters affecting evaluation or decisions on Admission, Re-admission or Prior Learning Assessment & Recognition. To initiate a formal Academic Appeal of a grade, the student must submit the appeal form within 10 working days of the date on which the student received notice of the final grade. Grades are released on mycentennial and this is considered to be notification. The Academic Appeal Application form is available from any Enrolment Services Office. Course Changes (Add/Drop) You may add or drop courses during the first 10 days of the semester or class without academic penalty. To do this, you may use the web registration system available through mycentennial to add, drop or change sections. If your program does not allow you to change via mycentennial you must complete a Request for Academic Change (Add/Drop) form available from any Enrolment Services Office. Your form must be signed by a school advisor, program coordinator or other school designate, in order to have the course drop(s) processed by Enrolment Services. Be careful when trying to drop a course. You are not considered to have dropped the course officially if you ceased to attend classes, or merely notified your professor of your intent to drop the course, or provided verbal notice to Enrolment Services staff. Program Transfers Current and past students may request a transfer into another program by completing an Application for Program Transfer form available from the Enrolment Services Office. Program transfers are not automatic, however every effort will be made to accommodate your choice. Once a transfer is approved, you will receive credit for any courses you have already completed in the program that you are currently registered in, which are common with the program you transfer into. 196 /Academic Policies and Procedures Withdrawing Or Reducing Your Courses? What are The Implications Before you withdraw from your program, or drop one or more courses, make sure you are aware of the deadlines to withdraw and how it effects your academic record and fees and understand the consequences of dropping one or more courses or withdrawing from your program. Withdrawing or reducing (i.e. by dropping) courses may have any of the following effects: a. Change your eligibility for an OSAP loan. b. Extend the duration of your studies, or delay your graduation. c. Add to your expenses via additional fees (i.e. the result of extending your studies). d. Affect your sponsorship arrangements. e. Affect your eligibility for inter-collegiate sports. f. Impact prerequisites for upcoming semesters. Withdrawal From A Program Once registered, a seat in the class is reserved for you.

The date your written notice of withdrawal is received is your effective date of withdrawal. You are not officially withdrawn if you cease to attend classes, or verbally notify your instructor, Enrolment Services staff, or other College staff of your intent to withdraw. Should you cease to attend classes, and do not officially withdraw, you will remain enrolled and will be assigned a FNA (Fail Non-attendance) grade. Note: You must submit an Intent to Withdraw Form, even if you paid by Fee Deferral, RESP or Instalment. Certain minimum non-refundable fees may apply. Withdrawal From A Full-time Program With Partial Refund Of Fees (For students enrolled in full-time programs) To qualify for a partial refund of the tuition component of fees, you must submit an Intent to Withdraw Form to the Enrolment Services Office within the first 10 days of the semester. After this deadline passes, fees will not be reduced or refunded. This deadline also applies to students who have paid their tuition using a loan from OSAP. Your refund will consist of the tuition you have paid for the current semester, less $100 ($500 for international students) ) plus other non-refundable fees. A different refund process applies to the BScN program (check with the Enrolment Services Office). You will also receive a 100 per cent refund of any advance payment you ve made for future semesters. Note that fees such as the student services fee, instalment plan fee, OSAP fee-deferral fees, skills assessment fee, late fee, are nonrefundable. Withdrawal Without Academic Penalty (For students enrolled in full-time programs) To withdraw from a program without academic penalty (i.e. without being penalized by a F or FNA grade), you must submit an Intent to Withdraw Form to the Enrolment Services Office by the specified date in the semester. This deadline is noted in the Important Dates Calendar issued during registration and is available in the Enrolment Services Office and on mycentennial. Petitions (Late Withdrawal) In rare circumstances, the College may allow students to withdraw after the relevant deadline and receive either a partial refund or withdrawal without academic penalty.

Satisfactorily complete all the required courses which comprise your certificate, diploma, or degree program with a GPA of 2.0 or greater. 2. Ensure that at least 25 per cent of the courses comprising your program are completed at Centennial College. 3. At the beginning of the semester in which you expect to complete all graduation requirements, submit an Application to Graduate form to the Enrolment Services Office. On this form, you must identify the name of the program (e.g. Computer Systems Technology Networking), and the number of the program (e.g. CENT Code 3405) you are completing.

Online Degree/Diploma Audit Use mycentennial (my.centennialcollege.ca) to conduct an online audit of your progression towards graduation. Eligibility When you ve completed all the requirements of your program satisfactorily, you re ready to graduate. Receiving your degree, diploma or certificate means you have: successfully completed a prescribed program of instruction been approved for graduation by the College Board of Governors. You may receive only one certificate, diploma or degree at each level in your field. If you re working towards a diploma, you ordinarily won t be granted a certificate or diploma at a lower level in your field. To do this, you would have to withdraw from the longer program and have completed all the requirements for a certificate or diploma at the lower level. Honours Designation Centennial College recognizes outstanding scholastic achievement by issuing Honours and High Honours designations to eligible graduates of all programs. These designations are noted on the student s diploma or certificate, and are based on the following criteria: Honours a cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) equal to or greater than 3.900, but less than (> = 3.900, < 4.300) on a scale of High Honours a cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) equal to or greater than (> = 4.300) on a scale of Diploma in a Second Major Some of our programs offer several options or choices of major. After you ve graduated in one major or option, you may study for a diploma in another major in the same program without repeating the common courses. You will need approval from your program Chair to do this. The total courses required for you to complete the new option will be based on the graduation requirements (curriculum) in effect at the time you enrol in that option. Projects and field work may not be carried over and you must complete required general education electives. Double Diplomas A Centennial graduate may study for a diploma or certificate in a different program without repeating common courses, with the program Chair or Coordinator s approval. The total courses required to complete the new program will be determined by its curriculum. Convocation and your DEGREE/ Diploma/Certificate A highlight of the Centennial year is our main convocation and graduation ceremonies, held in June. At this time, degrees, diplomas and certificates are presented to students who have successfully completed their programs. Graduates may invite two guests to join them in the celebration, which usually includes a guest speaker and reception. We encourage graduates to participate in this memorable occasion. If, for some reason, you are unable to attend the ceremony, you may pick up your certificate, diploma or degree from the Progress Enrolment Services Office after Convocation. Degrees, diplomas or certificates will be available for pick-up for one week after the convocation ceremonies, after which time they will be mailed.
