Circumstances may require George Brown College to change your course selections and timetable. Bring your timetable with you to George Brown during the first week of classes. Your timetable is needed to get your College Photo ID (Passport or driver’s license is required as well), locate your classrooms, and obtain a TTC Photo ID for your Post-Secondary Monthly Pass on your Presto Card, if necessary. Arrange for Your Placement Testing for English/Math Most post-secondary students are required to take the Placement Test for English or Math or both depending on individual program requirements. There is no fee for placement testing. • You are not required to take the Placement test if you: » have already taken an Admissions Assessment (test) to be admitted to the College. For students who have already taken the Admissions Assessment, the results of that test will be used to place you in the appropriate English and Math courses OR » are applying for a Post-Graduate Certificate or Degree program • Placement Testing is not pass or fail. It simply determines if you are ready to take the the college-level courses in English and/or Math in the first semester, or if you need to take a foundation level course first to further develop your skills. Therefore, the Placement Test is a very important part of your academic success. • Please check the programs requiring placement testing at www.georgebrown.ca/assessment/placement/ and arrange for your Placement Test(s) through Stu-View when registering for your courses (see previous section). Review the information on the Assessment page at www.georgebrown.ca/assessment/prep/ so that your test results place you in a course that reflects your skill level. • It is best to take the Placement Test as early as possible. There is a deadline date to take your Placement Test. If you do not take the Placement Test, you will be automatically placed in foundation-level courses . The last day to take the Placement Test for English & Math for students who were automatically placed in foundation course(s) is Monday, September 13, 2021 (first year students only). • Remember, if you take and achieve the appropriate score on time, you may be exempted from Foundation level and go straight to college-level English and/or math. If you get this exemption, you won’t have to pay any extra course fees. • If you are placed in a Foundation-level course, the course will be automatically included in your timetable (in block-based programs) or will be available for registration through your Stu-View account (in course-based programs). Your placement into a Foundation- level course will not affect your start in the program and you will still take your core courses scheduled for the semester. • Upon successful completion of your Foundation-level course(s), you will be able to take College-level English and /or mathematics course(s).

  • Academic Policies and Guidelines INTEGRITY in SCHOLARLY
    George Brown College – Academic Policies and Guidelines INTEGRITY IN SCHOLARLY RESEARCH AND SCHOLARSHIP – Page 1 1. Purpose George Brown College (referred to herein as “GBC” or the “College”) aspires to attain the highest standards of integrity in scholarly research for its faculty, staff and students. While GBC begins from the premise that all members of the College community are committed both individually and institutionally to integrity in scholarly activity, this policy has been developed to address any concerns about responsibility and accountability in research and scholarship. In addition to adherence to College policies, all research conducted by members of the College community must follow the responsibilities and corresponding policies for researchers, Institutions, and the Agencies contained in the Tri-Agency Framework: Responsible Conduct of Research. The Framework officially launched on Dec 5, 2011, is an umbrella document that describes Tri-Agency policies and requirements related to applying for and managing Agency funds, performing research and disseminating results. It also outlines the process that institutions and Agencies follow in the event of an allegation of a breach of Agency policy. 2. Scope 2.1. This policy applies to all full-time and part-time faculty of the College and any person who teaches, conducts research, or works at or under the auspices of the College. Students participating in scholarly research at the College will also be subject to this policy. It applies equally to all research projects, led either by the College or by other institutions, in which GBC personnel or students are participants. 2.2. At this time, GBC does not plan on engaging in research that would involve biohazardous materials.
