Admission Requirements

Admission to an Associate of Science degree program requires the completion of English 12 with a grade of "C" or higher and Pre-calculus 12 or Principles of Math 12 with a grade of “C+” or higher. Other prerequisites depend on the courses chosen to make up the degree, and should be determined with the advice of a Selkirk College counsellor. Students who lack the admission requirements may still gain admission to the program by taking a combination of university and upgrading courses during the first year. This mode of entry may extend the length of their program.

aspects of their decision-making processes. GIS as a decision support system involves the application of spatially referenced data in a problem-solving situation (s) with the integration of data management, analysis techniques, and visual representation. GIS as a decision support system has matured sufficiently to handle such complex environmental, social, economic, and urban problems and is sometimes termed a spatial decision support system (SDSS). This course will focus on the application of GIS within three areas: Municipal Operations (Planning), Health and Medicine, and Emergency Management.

GIS 390 - TECHNICAL PROJECT PREPARATION GIS 390: Technical Project Preparation involves the design and planning of a project idea from initial concept to anticipated final outputs. Topics include an overview of the steps necessary to successfully integrate GIS into the decision making process. Specific skills will be developed in project scoping and development, experimental design, data management, error identification, determining analysis methods, and recommending suitable final outputs. This course is a prerequisite for the Co-op 301 course or the GIS 491 Technical Project. Pre-requisites: Successful completion of all Fall semester GIS 300 level courses.

GIS 491 - TECHNICAL PROJECT Technical Project is the implementation of a project as outlined and defined in Project Development. Implementation will involve building the database, conducting analysis with a variety of geoprocessing tools and producing final products. This course provides an opportunity for students to integrate their knowledge of CAD, GIS, remote sensing and databases to solve a specific problem.

NUCL 180 - PRACTICUM The Practicum course provides the learner with a consolidated clinical experience where they can apply theory from the Nursing Unit Clerk Program. Students work full shifts with an experienced Nursing Unit Clerk who acts as Preceptor, following the Preceptor's work rotation. This is a placement in an acute care hospital where students work under the supervision of experienced Unit Clerks. Placement requests are sent to a hospital of the student's choice in their local area. Prospective hospitals are contacted by the College only; students are not to solicit placements. Every attempt is made to find a placement in the student's local area, but in some cases the student may be required to travel to another area. Students are eligible for a work practicum after they have successfully completed all other mandatory courses. Students must receive credit for practicum before certification is granted. Students currently employed as Unit Clerks may apply for prior learning assessment for the work practicum. Students seeking placements within IHA and FHA are advised to attend an on-campus computer training session prior to practicum. Pre-requisites: Successful completion of all theory courses in the Nursing Unit Clerk program.

Under the direction of a faculty member, this program is primarily independent studio time with emphasis on the production of a coherent body of work.

CREATING A COMMUNITY Artists tend to develop and mature in their craft, around other artists. Open Studio is about creating a community of artists where learning, mentoring and exploring new innovative practices happens every day.

OPEN STUDIO DESIGN You will meet with a faculty member in your chosen studio before you start the program. If accepted, you will submit a design brief and/or written proposal to the studio which will guide your course of action, indicating design theme/concept, illustrations, work-plan and techniques.

Any changes to the contract must be made in consultation with faculty and presented in writing.

SELF-DIRECTED STUDIES While you are expected to be primarily self-directed, you will be expected to spend between 18 and 30 hours per week, depending on the length of study chosen, in your chosen studio.
