Technology

It is recommended that in order to be successful, students have adequate technological support and reliable internet connectivity.  If you need assistance with your technology, please connect wit the program Success Advisor to see what College programs exist to support your learning.

Assignments and Tests

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

If a student cannot submit an assignment on the due date for any reason, they must notify the professor in advance and request an extension giving reasons for the delay. If an extension is not granted, the student is expected to have the assignment completed by the specified date.

In exceptional circumstances[1], if a student cannot submit an assignment on the date for any reason, they must notify the appropriate professor at least 24 hours in advance or as soon as possible and request an extension giving reasons for the delay. When an extension is granted, the student will receive full consideration for the assignment. Assignments with extensions are due at a specific date and time as arranged with the professor. Penalties may be applied to extended assignments. In certain instances, with late, makeup, or remedial work, assignments may be marked as pass/fail only.

Evaluation and Progression

1. A minimum “C” grade (60%) is required for satisfactory completion of all courses within the Workplace Wellness & Health Promotion program.
2. All semester 1 courses must be completed successfully prior to completing the Placement course in semester 2.
3. All assignments are to be submitted on or before the specified date. If a student cannot submit an assignment on the due date for any reason, he/she must notify the appropriate professor at least 24 hours in advance of the due date/time  and request an extension giving reason for the delay.  If an extension is not granted, the student is expected to have the assignment completed and submitted by the specified due date and time.
4. In exceptional circumstances* if a student cannot submit an assignment or write a test on the date, he/she must notify the appropriate professor by email at least 24 hours in advance or as soon as possible and request an extension giving reasons for the delay. When an extension is granted, the student will receive full consideration for the assignment or test. Assignments with extensions are due at a specific date, time and delivery method as arranged with the professor.
5. Arrangements for makeup tests are as follows:

• Students are responsible to report absences directly to the professor prior to class in which the test is given.
• Students will write all makeup tests at a mutually agreed upon date.
• Students will reconfirm that they are planning to write the test with the professor prior to that week to ensure a make-up test is prepared.

6. At the teacher’s discretion, students arriving late for a test or exam, may not be admitted and, if admitted, may not be allowed additional time. However, students arriving after other students have exited the test classroom will not be allowed to take the test or exam.
7. For online activities and assignments, students must submit or post their work to the designated location before the submission deadline without exception. No online work will be accepted and /or graded after the deadline.

* Written documentation is required to support claims of exceptional circumstances, i.e. illness or death of a family member.

Attendance, Punctuality & Participation

The Workplace Wellness & Health Promotion class structure will mimic that of a professional work environment and the expectation is that all students will attend classes regularly and/or complete the online content and participate fully in in-class and on-line activities before the set deadlines.  It is also the expectation that all students will arrive on time for classes, return from breaks at the specified time and remain in class until the class is completed.

Withdrawing from a Course or Program

If you decide to withdraw from a course or program, you must meet with the Success Advisor to discuss the implications of dropping a course or withdrawing from the program.

Withdrawing from a course or program without academic penalty must be done officially by submitting a Withdrawal Form or Course Add/Drop Form to the Enrolment Services Office before or by the withdrawal deadline date.

Re-admission to a Program

Students on Academic Suspension may apply for re-admission to the same program after a period of two semesters following the date of suspension. Re-admission is not guaranteed. Students are subject to the current published admission requirements. If re-admitted, the student will be placed on Probationary Academic Standing.

Program Transfers

Students on Academic Suspension, Probationary, or Conditional Academic Standing may apply to transfer to another program at the College. If accepted to the new program, they will maintain their academic standing unless they are on Suspension in which case they will be placed on Probationary Academic Standing in the new program.
