Labs

In light of the current context and in a bid to prevent a potential second wave of COVID-19 impacting Ontario, Centennial College will, for the most part, continue to teach at a distance and online. It is hoped, however, that courses with significant hands-on activity and requiring in-house instruction will be scheduled on our campuses in strict accordance with Public Health protocols.

There may be limited access to Centennial’s computers and specialty labs. For your health and safety, follow any posted protocols (e.g., physical distancing, cleaning, etc.).

Equipment

Police Foundations at Centennial College is a uniform program.  Students are required to purchase and wear the uniform during all regular classes unless otherwise stipulated by the Professor, for example in fitness.

However, in light of the pandemic and in accordance with the directive stated above, the uniform requirement will be suspended for the F2021 semester.  Re-institution of this policy will be considered for the Winter semester if it is safe to do so.

Software

Students have access to industry-leading software packages and bundles that can be found in rooms, labs, and podiums across our campuses. Computers at each campus will be loaded with the applications for use in your courses. To access these features, you must log in to the network using your student number. You can see a comprehensive list of software and software packages installed by room and by campus here.

Professors will advise students of any course specific software requirements.
