82 I Website www.confederationc.on.ca Academic Issues

What if I receive a grade I don’t understand or agree with? A flowchart outlining the process for resolving academic disputes is on page 88. Generally, a student first asks the instructor or the other decision-maker for clarification. He or she may refer to the course syllabus, to course or program outlines, or to another College policy for more information. For more information, see Academic Dispute Resolution Policy, 5-1-02 Academic Integrity Policy, 5-5-01 http://www.confederationc.on.ca/academicpolicies

What if I am offended by a classroom discussion or assignment? What if I feel unsafe in a learning activity? As soon as possible, the student should talk with the instructor to express concerns. If the issue is with the behaviour of other students, the student may wish to speak with them, before, after, or instead of speaking with the instructor. If the student isn’t satisfied with the situation after meeting with the instructor, the student may choose to seek help from a counsellor in the Student Success Centre, from the Ombuds Office, or from the Program Coordinator. For more information, see Academic Dispute Resolution Policy, 5-1-02 Complaints Process (Non-Academic), 5-5-04 Student Code of Conduct, 5-5-01 Charter of Students’ Rights and Responsibilities, 5-5-03 http://www.confederationc.on.ca/academicpolicies

Website www.confederationc.on.ca I 83 What if someone asks me to do his or her assignment? What if someone asks me for help cheating on a test? The students, faculty, staff, and administration of the College see academic integrity as central to the mission of the College. Helping someone else violate academic integrity—by providing answers to a test, by allowing someone else to represent your work as his or her own, or in some other way—is also a violation of academic dishonesty. If someone asks a student to violate academic integrity, the student should speak with the instructor or program coordinator. For more information about academic integrity, consult the Academic Integrity College Practice listed below, ask the instructor for guidance, or ask for guidance from a staff person in the Paterson Library Commons. For more information, see Academic Integrity Policy, 5-5-01 http://www.confederationc.on.ca/academicpolicies

How do I know if I’m plagiarizing or otherwise violating academic integrity? Violations of academic integrity include—but are not limited to— plagiarism (representing someone else’s words or ideas as your own), cheating, fabricating information, and helping someone else violate academic integrity. These violations are defined in the Academic Integrity Policy. Note that the instructor may have created specific instructions for an assignment, especially group assignments. For more information about academic integrity or instructions specific to a particular assignment, the student should ask the instructor. For general information about academic integrity, the student may also ask a staff person in the Paterson Library Commons for guidance. For more information, see Academic Integrity Policy, 5-5-01 http://www.confederationc.on.ca/academicpolicies

84 I Website www.confederationc.on.ca What if I’m working on a group project and a teammate plagiarizes or cheats? Violating academic integrity can result in a failing grade for all team members. For further clarification or guidance in a specific situation, the student should ask the instructor. For general information about academic integrity, students may also ask a staff person in the Paterson Library Commons for guidance. For more information, see Academic Integrity Policy, 5-5-01 http://www.confederationc.on.ca/academicpolicies

How do I get help and accommodations for learning difficulties, a learning disability, or some other disability? The student should check with the Learning Centre as soon as possible—preferably, before program registration—for guidance and requirements. To receive accommodation for a disability, the student must provide the Learning Centre with recent medical, education, or psycho- educational verification of the disability. This documentation must be signed by a qualified medical practitioner or registered psychologist. For more information about the certification, contact the Learning Centre staff. Note that not all people who have difficulty learning have certified disabilities. Other resources are available for students whose difficulty learning comes from other issues, such as gaps in background education, test anxiety or fear of public speaking, or poor time management skills. The Learning Centre can refer students to resources to help these types of difficulties. For more information, see Student Accommodation Practices, 5-4-06 http://www.confederationc.on.ca/academicpolicies

Website www.confederationc.on.ca I 85 General Behaviour Issues

What if I feel unsafe in a class discussion? As soon as possible, the student should talk with the instructor to express any concerns. If the student’s issue is with the behaviour of other students, the student may wish to speak with them, before, after, or instead of speaking with the faculty member. If the student isn’t satisfied with the situation after meeting with the instructor, the student may choose to seek help from a counsellor in the Student Success Centre, from the Ombuds Office, or from the Program Coordinator. For more information, see Academic Dispute Resolution Policy, 5-1-02 Complaints Process (Non-Academic), 5-5-04 Student Code of Conduct, 5-1-01 Charter of Students’ Rights and Responsibilities, 5-5-03 http://www.confederationc.on.ca/academicpolicies

What if someone threatens me—in person, by email, by text, by phone? A student may choose to speak with the person whose behaviour is threatening. If the student doesn’t feel safe talking with that person, the student may ask for help from the Student Success Centre counselling staff or the Ombuds Office. Note that threats in virtual environments (email, phone, text, online) are as serious as “in-person” threats. Penalties for those found to threaten others may include loss of IT privileges as well as suspension, dismissal, expulsion, or other behaviour-related penalties.

86 I Website www.confederationc.on.ca What if a picture of me appears without my consent? Student information, including pictures and other images, is protected and may not be released without the student’s consent. The Computer Services Department may also penalize the party responsible for unauthorized use of the College’s computing services. If a student’s image is used in a threatening or demeaning way, the student may choose to speak directly to the responsible party or ask for help from the Ombuds Office or the Student Success Centre staff.

What if someone accuses me of bullying when I was only joking? How do I know what behaviour is acceptable and what is not? The Charter of Students’ Rights and Responsibilities defines in principle the standards of behaviour, both academic and non-academic, required of students while on college premises or attending college activity at any location. The Student Code of Conduct identifies those behaviours which, if left unchallenged and unchecked, would disrupt the academic purposes of the College, make the campus less safe, diminish the dignity of individuals and groups, or erode essential freedoms. It applies specifically to students because the behaviours of non- student members of the College community are held to comparable standards of account by other statutes, policies, and contracts.

Website www.confederationc.on.ca I 95 Administrative Practices

What is registration? Each semester students select the courses they wish to take. All full- time students register over the web every semester. Information is sent to students by the Registration Services Department advising when registration will open. In order to register in a course, a student must have successfully taken any pre- or co-requisite (required course). Outstanding fees are due at the time of registration. Any changes or errors in a student registration record should be reported by the student to Registration Services.

Can the time or day a class is scheduled change? From time to time, in response to unforeseen or unexpected circumstances student program/course timetables may be changed. In this event, the college will attempt to reschedule classes during the regular 8:30 am to 6:30 pm schedule; however, it may be necessary to schedule evening or weekend classes. The college understands the inconvenience changes of this nature causes. Students are advised to contact their Program Coordinator or Dean/ Manager to discuss conflicts that may arise.

Where do I find information on program and course costs? Information on tuition fees and mandatory program costs are sent to students prior to the opening of each registration period. A full listing of tuition fees is available on the college website at http://www. confederationc.on.ca/admissions/tuition/ As of September 2007, new and returning students with disabilities who require the accommodation of a reduced course load may be eligible to have tuition fees reduced once they have paid the equivalent to full time fees for the program. For more information, contact the Learning Centre.

How are tuition tax receipts issued? Information regarding Tuition and Education Certificates (T2202A) for the 2010 taxation year will be available on the student website.

96 I Website www.confederationc.on.ca How are grades calculated? Grades will be reported on a student’s academic transcript according to the following letter and equivalent grade-point average (GPA) system.

Letter Level of Achievement or Explanation GPA Numeric Equivalency

Grade A Outstanding Achievement 4.0 grade points B Exceeds normal achievement levels 3.0 grade points C Meets normal achievement levels 2.0 grade points D Minimum acceptable level of achievement 1.0 grade points F Failure to meet minimum level of achievement 0.0 grade points IN Course requirements for have not been met at this time Not in grade point average EX Course requirements met through assessment of previous learning outcomes Not in grade point average CR Course requirements met in job placement, fieldwork or practicum Not in grade point average NCR Credit course learning outcomes not met Not in grade point average AD Audit – the student has registered but not taken the course for credit Not in grade point average S General interest course outcomes met Not in grade point average U General interest course outcomes not met Not in grade point average

Website www.confederationc.on.ca I 97 ** Note: Not all general interest courses are gradable. * An IN (incomplete) grade is to be assigned, at the discretion of the faculty, only in cases where a student has been unable to complete the course requirements in the normal semester time. Previous satisfactory achievement must indicate the student can complete the requirements by the extension date, as determined by the faculty and to be given to the student in writing. A student receiving an IN grade in any semester must, on the student’s own initiative, update the IN to a passing mark within the prescribed time period and to the satisfaction of the faculty. The faculty will then forward a Change of Grade form (see below) to Registration Services. Failure to comply will result in an automatic change of the IN to an F grade. Maximum time allowance to convert an IN to a pass grading: Fall term March 15 Winter term November 15 Summer term November 15

“F” grades, once assigned, cannot be removed from a student’s academic history.

Numeric Grades In most cases, letter grade assignments are based on the following numeric grade ranges. This is the college minimum standard. Certain programs and courses may have a higher passing mark. Refer to program documentation and/or course outlines for specific program/ course evaluation information.

Letter Grade Percentage Attained A 80-100 B 70-79.9 C 60-69.9 D 50-59.9 F Less than 50 In most cases, transcripts will include both alpha and numeric grades. Grade point average calculations are based on the weight of the alpha character (see above).

98 I Website www.confederationc.on.ca Grade Point Average

Definition Cumulative Grade Point Average: All courses are used in the calculation of the grade point average. Term Grade Point Average: All semester courses are used in the calculation of the grade point average. Program Grade Point Average: All program related courses (approved curriculum) are used in the calculation of the grade point average. Repeated courses* In cases where a student registers more than once in the same course, all final grades will be reported on the transcript. The highest grade will be used in the calculation of the grade point average.

Grade Point Average Calculation Credit = Credited course hours per semester (as noted on course outline) Quality Points = Course hours (X) numeric equivalent of letter grade Grade Point Average (GPA)= Quality points/total credit hours

Website www.confederationc.on.ca I 99 Academic Standing Definitions + Consequences

First Class Standing Students enrolled full time in an approved postsecondary certificate or diploma program with a minimum semester GPA of 3.5 will be issued a Letter of First Class Standing (see academic policy 5-3-1 for specific details)

Good Standing Students with a grade point average of 2.0 or higher are eligible to continue in their current program. Some exceptions may apply. Refer to program information.

What if I want to ensure I am on track to graduate? Any student wishing to review their academic status to ensure they are completing all of the required courses can arrange to meet with a Registration Officer. Appointments can be scheduled in Registration Services.

What if I want to complete more than one diploma? Students who have previously obtained a certificate or diploma from Confederation College may obtain a second certificate or diploma in another area of specialization. To obtain a second certificate or diploma, students must complete all the required courses for the second certificate or diploma either through transfer credits, PLAR or course study. Earning a second credential requires students to complete by additional study the minimum equivalent of 25% of the total program hours.

Website www.confederationc.on.ca I 103 Will I have to pay for any additional courses I want to take? Students considering taking courses above their normal program semester load are encouraged to discuss the implications of this decision with their program coordinator and seek advice and support. Additional fees may be assessed for overload courses depending on the number and length of the additional courses. Admissions and Registration staff can advise of any additional charges.

What if I want to change my program or courses? If a student wishes to change programs, options or general education courses, they must consult with the program coordinator and complete, sign and submit the appropriate documentation to the required college departments. If this procedure is not followed, students may not receive a course credit. A student may change programs, option or general education courses within 10 days of the start of classes.

What kind of tests will I take in my courses? The final grade in a given course will be based on ongoing testing and assessment. There will be a mid-semester assessment and the program coordinator will inform students whose progress is unsatisfactory. There is no specific time set aside for formal college-wide examinations; all tests and examinations are coordinated by the department concerned. Within the first 2 weeks of the semester, students will be informed in writing of the assessment process used by the faculty responsible.

What is a general education course? The college recognizes the need to provide in its program curricula courses to broaden the students’ appreciation and understanding of themselves and the world. It is with this in mind that our postsecondary programs provide general education courses. General education experience deals with the learning outcomes and corresponding knowledge, skills and attitudes that will enable students to exceed minimum expectations in their fields of study by providing context, perspective and meaningfulness to their efforts. General education emphasizes the expansion of students’ knowledge, skills and attitudes beyond their vocational and an essential employability skills education.

104 I Website www.confederationc.on.ca The following five theme areas provide direction in the development and identification of courses that fulfill the general education requirements. A. Arts In Society B. Civic Life C. Social and Cultural Understanding D. Personal Understanding F. Science And Technology Students can normally choose the required number of general education courses from pre-selected grouping. General education courses are graded and carry the same importance as other courses in the program and are used in the calculation of the grade point average.

If I enlist in the armed forces, what happens to my educational plans? The College recognizes that students who are members of the Reserve Force obtain additional benefits that are of value to their development and learning. The college will ensure that its Academic Policies & Procedures provide a process to consider special dispensations for Student Reservists.

Website www.confederationc.on.ca I 105 How do I withdraw from a course? If a student wishes to withdraw from a course the student should first consult with the faculty concerned before the deadline dates listed in the Academic Calendar of Events. The student is then referred to the coordinator of the program in which the student is enrolled. If, after reviewing alternatives with the coordinator, the student still feels that withdrawal from the course is the best course of action, the student will be provided with a drop form. The student is required to bring a copy of the completed and signed drop form to Registration Services for processing.

Note: Withdrawal from courses can seriously affect the following • Student loan eligibility • Future semester subject eligibility • Full-time program status • Fieldwork and co-op work term eligibility • Sponsorship status

106 I Website www.confederationc.on.ca How do I withdraw from a program? Unless the formal withdrawal procedure is followed, a student will not be considered as having officially withdrawn from the college. This in turn can affect the amount of eligible refund a student may be entitled to if their fees have been paid or, the amount of fees they are required to pay the college if fees are still owing. Failing to officially withdraw from the college will result in F grades assigned on all courses in which a student is registered. Refer to the Refund Schedule at http://www.confederationc.on.ca/ admissions/. If fees have not been paid, contact Registration Services to find out the amount owing to the college. Students are responsible for all outstanding tuition owed to the college.

Website www.confederationc.on.ca I 109 Your College Network Account Each student is given a unique College network/computer logon account with a corresponding e-mail address. This account is used to allow students access to computer lab workstations, College e-mail, print balance, Blackboard, the student Banner system, and other network resources. You will need to know your College account before you can access any of these systems. Please see the directions in the section below on how to determine your student account USERNAME and PASSWORD combination.

How to Log On with Your College Account 1. First, students will need to determine their USERNAME. Students can find out what their username is by using one of the following methods: a. Confederation College Registration Instructions package – each student should receive this package by mail and within the document it will list your account username. b. Confederation College student photo-ID card – each student will receive an individual ID card on which is listed your College e-mail address. The username can be found by looking at the first part of your e-mail address published on your student card. Example: Student with the name of David Smith: E-mail address: [email protected] Username: dsmith

110 I Website www.confederationc.on.ca c. If your username isn’t on your student card (or you don’t have a card), you can determine your username by following the steps outlined below: • Your username will be up to 8 characters long and made up of the first letter of your first name followed by up to the first 7 characters in your last name. With some common last names, your username could have a number as the last digit in your username. Example: The student David Smith could have any of the following usernames: dsmith, dsmith1, dsmith2, dsmith3 and so on... 2. A student’s initial PASSWORD will be 11 characters and will consist of the first initial of your first namecapitalized ( ), the first initial of your last name (lower case), and the last 9 digits of your student ID. Example: A student named David Smith with Student ID: 22663100198715, will have a password of: Ds100198715

3. Once you have successfully determined your College account username and password combination you will be able to access the following College systems or applications: • Student lab or classroom computers • Student network file server and J-drive • College Blackboard system • Student Banner Information system • Student Web Access Outlook E-mail system • Student printing resources

Website www.confederationc.on.ca I 111 Note: If you encounter difficulty determining your College account credentials, or if you are having difficulty logging on with your account on any of the above systems, please contact the Computer Services Help Desk on the 3rd floor of the Shuniah Building or phone 475-6488 for assistance.

The security questions/answers can be anything you wish, but students are advised to choose questions/answers that are easy for you to remember but difficult for someone else to guess. Note: all four questions and their respective answers must be entered in as well as saved in order to activate the password reset feature.

Website www.confederationc.on.ca I 113 Step 2 – Change your Password This section allows students to change their College account password at any time. To change your password, type in a new password twice in the boxes provided and then click the ‘Ok’ button to save your changes. When changing your College account password, please ensure your password meets the following criteria: • Be a minimum of 8 characters in length • Contain 3 of the following 4 types of characters: small letters, capital letters, numbers, or punctuation marks • Cannot be a password that you’ve used for the past 3 password changes • Cannot contain a combination characters resembling your name or account username Note: passwords entered that do not meet all of the above security standards will be rejected by the system. Note: In addition to the above requirements, the College network will require all account holders to change their password a minimum of once every 240 days. Users may, if desired, change their password a maximum of once every 30 days. Important! The procedure above will change a student’s password for their general network logon account which includes access to the College e-mail, Blackboard, and Student Banner systems. Account passwords for some other applications (like TLM) are separate from a student’s main College account and will remain unchanged.

114 I Website www.confederationc.on.ca Resetting a Forgotten Password Once you have entered in your four security questions in the MyCampus Password Utility as described in the above section, if you ever forget your College account password, you can use the MyCampus password reset feature to change your password and regain access to your account. If you have forgotten your College account password, please follow the steps below to reset your password: 1. Go to the MyCampus login page as described in the section above: Accessing the MyCampus Portal and Password Reset Utility. 2. In the ‘Forgot Your Password?’ section, type in your College username and click the ‘OK’ button. 3. You will then be prompted to answer two random questions from your list of four security questions. Correctly answer the two questions and click the ‘OK’ button to proceed. If you incorrectly answer one or both of the security questions, you will be prompted to answer another two security questions. 4. If you correctly answer both security questions you will be allowed to reset your password. Enter in your new password twice in the boxes provided. Be sure to follow the password security guidelines listed in the above section for changing your password. Note: if you have not setup your Password Utility security questions you will not be able to reset your College password using this feature.

Website www.confederationc.on.ca I 117 Computer Labs Notes 1. If a class is in progress in one of the labs and there are available computers, the instructor may, at their discretion, allow students to work quietly in the lab, provided that the student is there at the start of the class and not part way through. 2. In both the Shuniah and McIntyre buildings, if a lab is not being used by a class, the Help Desk attendant, if requested, will open as many labs as are required, provided that the labs can be adequately supervised. 3. Computer workstations may be booked for two one-hour non- consecutive sessions per day in all “open-access” labs.

118 I Website www.confederationc.on.ca Wireless Network Facilities Wireless access points (running on the 802.11 A/B/G/N standards) to the college network/Internet have been installed throughout the college. This means that any college user with a wireless enabled device (laptop, smart devices, etc.) can be configured to connect to the college network. Instructions for setting up wireless networking will vary depending on the type of device being used, operating systems, etc. However, the general ‘connect to’ information is provided below:

Wireless Connectivity in Shuniah Building Network Name/SSID: confedwifi Network Key (WEP): DAFCA169AA

Wireless Connectivity For All Other College Buildings or Campuses Network Name/SSID: snap?47 Network Key (WEP): DAFCA169AA More detailed instructions on how to properly configure your Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Mac device to connect to the College’s wireless network are available at the Computer Services Help Desk (Rm. 346). For further information or help on connecting your device to the college wireless network, please visit the Computer Services Help Desk or call 475-6488.

Computer Log-off Procedure Students must properly log off and shut down the computer before leaving a workstation in order to ensure the next person who comes along does not gain access to the previous person’s resources and information. If a student fails to log off properly, someone else could resume the last person’s session, read their e-mail, and perform various other undesirable activities including using up the person’s printing allocation. To log off and shut down: 1. Click the ‘Windows’ or ‘Start’ button at the bottom left of the screen. 2. Select ‘Shut Down’ or ‘Log off’. 3. Wait until the computer completely shuts down or logs off to ensure it is safe to leave the computer.

Website www.confederationc.on.ca I 119 Saving Computer Work Each student network account is also given network drive space (called the student ‘J-drive’) to save and retrieve their work files from. The student J-drive is a space on the network server that is private for each account (only someone logging in with the particular account or authorized Computer Services staff can access it). Each student account has been allocated 100 MB of space on the J-drive to store their files on. Within the personal J-drive space, a student is free to save, retrieve, and delete files, as well as manage folders. Students are encouraged to use the J-drive to store their work files on as it is much more secure and reliable than using removable (USB) drives (which can be damaged and/or lost). A major advantage of using the student J-drive is that the network server is backed up on a regular basis making it possible to retrieve files that may have been accidentally deleted or damaged. Please contact the Help Desk for assistance with this service. It is also recommended that students DO NOT save to the local hard drive (C-drive) of a computer as there is protective software installed on all student lab computer workstations in the college that will delete the files the next time the computer is rebooted. Please note that the student J-drive is regularly monitored to ensure that students do not exceed their 100MB disk space allocation or use the J-drive to store inappropriate material on (as per the College’s Information Technology Acceptable Use Policy). Please visit http:// www.confederationc.on.ca/sites/default/files/5-5-051.pdf for more information on this policy.

To save a file to the J-drive: 1. Select ‘File’ then ‘Save As’ from within the computer program being used. 2. Navigate through the available drive letters to find the drive letter “J”. 3. Click on the J-drive to select it (this is the student’s personal network space). 4. Enter a file name and click on the ‘Save’ button.

120 I Website www.confederationc.on.ca To retrieve a file from the J-drive: 1. Select ‘File’ then ‘Open’ from within the computer program being used. 2. Navigate through the available drive letters to find the drive letter “J”. 3. Click on the J-Drive to select it (this is the student’s personal network space). 4. Select the file you wish to retrieve and press the Open‘ ’ button. Note: A student’s network account and J-drive space, is kept for up to one year after a student leaves the College. This gives students plenty of time to back up any school materials they may want to keep to a personal storage device.

Printing and Scanning Services Confederation College has black & white laser printers available for student use. These printers are located in many computer lab areas within the Shuniah building (Help Desk & Library), McIntyre building, Dorion building, and ACE building. Colour laser printing is also available for general student use. Colour printers can be found at the Computer Services Help Desk (available from all 3rd floor lab computers), the 1st Floor Library lab, the 2nd Floor Library lab, and in all labs in the McIntyre building.

Website www.confederationc.on.ca I 121 Printing Allocation Each student is automatically given an allocation of $36 dollars per year for printing purposes. This ‘print balance’ is tied to your College account and will allow you to print to any student network printer in a computer lab area. The cost for printing is as follows: Black & White = $0.05 cents per/page Black & White (double-sided print) = $0.04 cents/page Colour (single or double-sided print) = $0.40 cents/page

Printing costs are automatically deducted from a students’ available print balance each time a print job is sent. Note: print balance money is non-refundable and non-transferable, but is renewed at the start of each new academic year for returning students.

How to Print To print a job to a “pay-for-print” laser printer from any computer workstation: 1. Print as usual from any Windows program (i.e. select ‘File’ then ‘Print’). 2. Select the printer from the list provided that you wish to print to. 3. Press the ‘Print’ button.

Purchasing Additional Print Balance If a student exceeds the $36-per year printing allocation, they can purchase additional allocation at the Library Circulation Desk.

Checking Print Account Balance To check how much money you have left on your print balance account: 1. Ensure you are logged into the computer with your own College account. 2. In the bottom right corner of the Windows desktop, click the black dollar sign symbol. A window will pop-up indicating your remaining print balance.

122 I Website www.confederationc.on.ca Colour Scanning Colour scanners are available for students to use on select stations in room 344 (behind Help Desk), the 1st Floor Library lab, the 2nd Floor Library lab, as well as in the McIntyre building in room 257.

Security Software and Station Monitoring A security software package has been installed on all college lab computers and is configured to prevent changes to the operating system, additions of shortcut icons to the desktop, unauthorized software installations, etc. Any of the above changes will cause the Windows image to rebuild itself the next time the computer is rebooted. Warning: This process will delete any files that have been added to the C-drive! Computer Services staff will also, from time to time, use security software to remotely monitor random student computer lab workstations to ensure proper adherence to Confederation College’s Acceptable Use Policy.

Website www.confederationc.on.ca I 123 Acceptable Use Policy: Appropriate Use of Information Technology Computers as well as all other information technology facilities are provided at Confederation College for the betterment of students’ education and shall only be used for educational purposes. The facilities are not to be used for financial gain, harassment, or unauthorized, malicious, unethical, illegal or subversive activities. The facilities shall also not be used to access or distribute pornographic materials.
