Program Requirements

Attendance

Students are expected to be on time for classes and labs.
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 Success Advisor within 5 business days of the date of absence.

(*) Providing a note for absence does not mean the missed hours are given back or guarantee that missed instruction or testing will be rescheduled. All missed hours are required to be tracked in accordance with program accreditation requirements.

Students must participate/attend 95% of the total program hours in order to be eligible for accreditation.

Course assignments (project/report)

You may be required to submit your assignment directly to your faculty or upload & submit it using the eCentennial Assignment tool. Your professor will provide you with specific instructions on submitting assignments.

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

If a student cannot submit an assignment on the due date for any reason he/she must notify their faculty in advance and request an extension giving reasons for the delay. Assignments with extensions are due at a specific date and time as arranged with the faculty. Assignment will not be accepted after the agreed upon due date.

If an extension is not granted the student is expected to have the assignment completed by the required specified date/time.

ALL projects/assignments/reports, etc are required to be submitted within the semester they have been assigned; any submissions put forth after semester end will not be accepted.

Work Integrated Learning

The Aerospace Department has embarked on a Work Integrated Learning program (WIL program) in partnership with Air Canada. This is a summer work opportunity which includes structured on-the-job training, job shadowing, a mentoring program, online training as well as technical, business and soft skills training.  Temporary (summer) WIL students will be engaged in the performance of entry-level multidisciplinary tasks in aircraft interior, mechanical and avionics systems for currently enrolled (full time) in their first or second year of recognized Aircraft Maintenance Technician Collegiate Program and returning in the Fall as a full time student. More details will be provided prior to application process.

Labs

All personnel entering or working in the hangars, labs or shops are required to wear appropriate safety equipment (PPE) and adhere to required safety rules. NO exceptions.

• No food or drink (with exception of water) is allowed in hangars, labs or shops
• No coats (*), bags, back packs, etc. are allowed in hangars, labs or shops

(*) The only exception is where activities are scheduled to take place in the aircraft compound.

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 – (dark blue cotton is best)

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.

Course evaluations using Respondus Lockdown Browser

Evaluations such as mid-term and course finals will be completed using the online proctoring system – Respondus Lockdown Browser – with all students going through the system on-boarding process prior to initial use.

Use of this technology requires that your identification is verified, with your myCard ID, and your activity is monitored and recorded, both audibly and visually through remote access to your computer and web camera.

Note – student that do not complete evaluations through the Respondus Lockdown Browser as directed/ required risk having those evaluation deemed void and receiving a zero grade.

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.

Evaluation Rewrite Policy – for accreditation only

Rewrites are applicable to the final course grade. Information relating rewrite schedules/dates are posted on eCentennial and/or emailed to the students my.Centennial email address.

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).

Students who wish to participate in the rewrite exam process must be deemed eligible, complete required sign-up procedures and pay any associated fees.

Information relating to sign-up procedures/deadlines, rewrite schedules will be provided as needed prior to the rewrite timeframes. It is the students’ responsibility to ensure they follow the required procedures, meet the associated deadlines and submit any required fee’s accordingly.

The student must re-write at the first opportunity provided; should they fail to do so they forfeit their right to any further attempts.

Students that are not eligible for a rewrite or who fail a rewrite with a mark of less than 60% are required to retake the failed course (theory and practical).

See the Experiential Learning Requirements section for information on work terms, field placements, clinical placements, or other required experiential learning components.

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.
