Program Requirements

Attendance

Students are expected to be on time for classes and labs (virtual or in-person).
Attendance will be taken within the first 10 minutes and continue at regular intervals throughout the session.

Lateness – students joining/arriving after attendance has been taken will be marked absent for the applicable hour. Late admittance is at the discretion of the faculty. Students are responsible to notify the faculty at the next break period of their joining/arrival.

Absence – absences due to illness or extenuating circumstances are required to be appropriately documented and submitted to the Faculty within 5 business days of the date of absence.

All projects are time sensitive and must be submitted at the deadline for each.

Course assignments (project/report)

You will be required to submit your assignment directly to your faculty.

An assignment is to be submitted before, or on the specified date and time as determined by the applicable faculty.

Labs

In light of the current context and in a bid to prevent a potential out break of COVID-19 impacting Ontario, Centennial College will, for the most part, continue to teach theory at a distance and online.

Where feasible courses with significant hands-on activity and requiring in-house instruction will be scheduled on our campuses in strict accordance with Public Health protocols.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

As directed, all students are required to wear the following PPE during lab (to include shops, hangars) activities:

• Canadian Safety Association (CSA) approved steel toed safety shoes/boots (these have the green patch)
• Workman coveralls – (suggested, but not required)
• Hearing protection – rated for no less than 33db
• Safety glasses – clear lens only (*)
• Masks

(*) General prescription eyewear is NOT considered appropriate eye protection and requires that approved “over the glasses” safety eyewear or prescription safety glasses are worn. [Ref Centennial College Procedure HR100-02]

Additional safety attire

At the discretion of the faculty, students may also be required to:

• Wear appropriate clothing (i.e. no shorts, no loose clothing, etc).
• Remove any jewelry prior to entry into the lab.
• Wear “clean suits” (e.g. in composite labs).

Students who do not have/wear required PPE are not permitted on campus and/or into labs and will be marked absent for the duration of that session.

NO EXCEPTIONS.

Evaluation and Grading

Specific information related to each course is identified in the individual course outline.

Evaluation methods

Evaluations (assessments) may take various formats, to include;
• Quiz / test
• Assignment / report / practical or performance application / mandatory project

A standard for evaluations (type and format) will be set at the beginning of each program year, which may include on-line, multiple choice, oral and/or physical task completion. At a minimum, any type of evaluation that forms part of the course grade shall be identified in course outline for that academic year.

Students are expected to join/arrive for all program evaluation activities for their courses on time.

On line assignments through eCentennial

Some assignments will be completed through the eCentennial learning platform. Your professor will advise which activities these are and when you will need to complete them through eCentennial.

Missed evaluations

A student who missed a scheduled evaluation must provide documented proof of the reason for the absence prior to it’s rescheduling. This documented proof shall be in the form of:

• a valid note of explanation such as a Doctor’s Certificate, Court Notice, Barrister’s Notice etc., or a letter from the Chair documenting pre-arrange approval to reschedule due to mitigating circumstances.

Such documentation is required to be provided to the respective faculty for their consideration within 5 days of return to school. Students who fail to meet this above requirement will receive a mark of Zero (0) on the applicable evaluation. There is no exception to this policy.

In situations where a pattern of absence or illness (documented or otherwise) has been established, the option to retake a missed evaluation may be denied.

Rewrite evaluations allow a student an opportunity to improve their final course grade if the grade is between a “C-C+” (60-69%). The rewrite mark will replace the final grade to a maximum of a 70% (B).

Course Requirements – Course Outlines

Course outlines specify relevant course learning outcomes to be achieved and assessments that measure achievement of that learning. Course outlines also offer a general description of the course, its content, requirements, and required learning resources (e.g., textbooks, equipment/materials). Course outlines also offer a general description of the course, its content, requirements, and learning resources. Course outlines clearly communicate expectations to learners concerning requirements for admission to the course (e.g.., pre- and co-requisites), successful completion of the course, and other course-specific policies and procedures. Ensure you review the course outlines for each of your courses to be aware of requirements and expectations.
