OTA/PTA

Didactic

Due to the experiential and collaborative nature of the learning in this Program, and to maximize student success in completion of course objectives, consistent attendance is an expectation at all scheduled sessions. This includes lectures, laboratory sessions, tutorials, site visits and clinical fieldwork placements. You may be required to attend classes/events that are scheduled from Mondays to Fridays between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 10:30 p.m. Some classes/events may need to take place outside of regularly schedule time slots.

Absences make it impossible to assess your progress. If illness or an emergency necessitates an absence, the student is required to contact each course instructor/tutor immediately with reasons stated so that the absence and information is recorded. Absences may necessitate review with Academic Advisor or course faculty. Therefore it is strongly advised that students do not take vacation during the academic year. Also, it is also advisable that students keep themselves available for at least two weeks after each semester in case there is a need for completion of missed work or unsuccessful components. Students are expected to consult with their classmates for any missed class content.

Punctuality is a professional behaviour that is also expected of students. Chronic lateness will not be tolerated as it is disruptive and also affects the learning of others. Chronic lateness will be reflected in your course evaluations. (See academic course outlines and also MyMohawk: Student Behaviour Policy)

RT

The Recreation Therapy program, uses an experiential learning approach to provide hands on learning opportunities throughout the two-year program of study. This approach requires flexibility in scheduling. Classes are delivered during the regular scheduled class time, as well as, delivered outside of classroom time in workshop formats and on-line. Students will be informed of the dates required for attendance at the beginning of each semester. Attendance is considered a basic requirement for learning. Often experiential learning assignments cannot be completed without attending the related learning session.

For lab classes in specific courses, attendance is required in 80% of labs for successful completion of all skills courses. Students who do not attend class will receive a zero for any co- related assignments, assessments or grades for participation, and/or marks may be deducted for lack of participation.

Students may be required to purchase workshop learning opportunities in order to participate. This requirement is equivalent to purchasing required text books for learning.
