Our graduates are characterized by their specialized knowledge, skills, attitudes and an ongoing commitment to their personal and spiritual development and growth, as well as to the clients’ whom they have the privilege to see in counselling. Thanks to the research tools taught in the program, you will be able to evaluate and improve your performance and that of the organizations you will serve. In this way, you can constantly renew your services to society. I trust that your stay with us will live up to and even surpass all your expectations. We are proud to state that our program is now accredited by College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). I would like to highlight one particular principle of CRPO’s Code of Ethics which I value greatly, support for colleagues. This principle invites us all to work collaboratively and to inspire each other to excellence in order to better serve our clients and society. To help you in your initial experience in Counselling and Spirituality, we have prepared a student guide. This document contains academic and administrative information. It does not replace the list of regulations which can be found on the University website, which I invite you to read: https://ustpaul.ca/en/about-spu-governance-university-regulations_2415_961.htm If you need further information, do not hesitate to contact Ms. Francine Quesnel, the academic advisor of the graduate programs, at Saint Paul University. I wish you every success in your studies.

By virtue of the federation of Saint Paul University with the University of Ottawa, the graduate program leads to a degree conferred jointly by the senates of both universities. The regulations and procedures which apply to the M.A. program in Counselling and Spirituality are shared with those of the University of Ottawa (https://ustpaul.ca/en/registrar-s-services-academic- regulations_469_741.htm). These regulations specify the conditions for admission, the procedures and regulations governing the program. An outline of each concentration as well as the list of courses and their descriptions can be found at https://ustpaul.ca/program-new/counselling-and- spirituality-302.htm. The list of regulations and procedures is extensive and for this reason, we felt it would be helpful if we supplied in this guide a more condensed list of regulations and procedures noting in particular those which should be of specific help to you during your studies. Please feel free to contact us should you require additional information. Language requirements Courses are offered in both English and French. It is therefore possible to enroll with a working knowledge of only English or French. Students whose first language is neither English nor French are required to attain a sufficient level of knowledge of one of the two languages before admission so that services to clients would not be compromised. The School of Counselling, Psychotherapy, and Spirituality requires students whose mother tongue is neither French nor English to pass a recognized language proficiency test. Please see “Language Requirements” for international candidates: https://ustpaul.ca/en/international-admission- requirements_6339_1006.htm#2 Exemptions and Advanced Standing Students who have taken courses at other universities for which the content and level is equivalent to that covered by courses included in the program, may apply to have these recognized for the degree. It is the responsibility of the student to submit an application for recognition of such courses to the Registrar at the time of admission. For more information, consult Regulation II-2.3 Registration, equivalencies and Transfer of Course Units (https://ustpaul.ca/en/registrar-s-services- academic-regulations-undergraduate-studies_469_741.htm) 6 REGISTRATION Students must register either at the beginning of each term of study or for the fall and winter terms taken together. Retroactive registration is not permitted. Due to financial restrictions, registration in certain concentrations may be limited. The Faculty reserves the right to cancel courses, practica, concentrations or program if there are less than six students registered. Changes of courses, substitutions, additions, deletions, withdrawals, and modification of status must be made by the following dates (https://ustpaul.ca/en/sessional-dates_37_172.htm) All changes in the students’ original registration must be approved by the Director or her representative. The student is primarily responsible for his program of studies. It is the responsibility of the student to register properly via uoCampus in courses before the deadlines, to request in writing the needed authorization (e.g. deferrals, withdrawals), to remit all documents concerning his or her program of study for placement in his or her academic file, to know the regulations governing the program of studies. The Administration will help the student in these matters, but will not discharge these duties for him or her. Students may register for courses which are additional to those normally required for the degree, but must in all cases have the approval of the Director of the School to do so. Once registration for such courses has been approved, students must obtain a passing grade for each one, unless they are registered as auditors. All courses for which students are registered are deemed to be part of their graduate program and count towards the student’s degree. Students must obtain a minimum grade of C+ to pass any course at the graduate level, two failed grades will result in the withdrawing the student from the program. Registration and selection of courses Students admitted to the M.A. program in Counselling and Spirituality are required to register for their courses via uoCampus at https://www.uocampus.uottawa.ca/ . The detailed instructions on how to enroll via uoCampus are available on the Intranet at https://ustpaul.ca/intranet/login_e.php. The selection of courses should be made in consultation with the academic advisor, who will inform students of program requirements (room 161A). The courses time schedule is normally from Monday to Friday. The schedule is subject to changes. Therefore, students are responsible to check if changes have indeed occurred. Periods appearing free on the schedule are reserved for supervision and other meetings. Courses selected from other academic units In some cases, students are permitted to follow courses in other academic units of the University. Registration for such courses is to be made with the academic advisor within the prescribed time period and must be first approved by the Director of the School. (Please note: Students are not permitted to replace program courses with correspondence courses.) Registration of courses taken at the University of Ottawa Saint Paul and Ottawa

  • Women at the University of Ottawa by Michel Prévost, Chief Archivist, University of Ottawa
    From the Kitchens to the Chancellorship: Women at the University of Ottawa by Michel Prévost, Chief Archivist, University of Ottawa One hundred years ago, there were no female students at the University of Ottawa, since this Oblate institution admitted only young men. Of course, there were a few women working at the institution, but they were all members of the Petites sœurs de la Sainte-Famille, a religious order relegated to domestic chores, specifically kitchen, laundry and housekeeping duties. However, things changed quickly in 1922 when four members of female religious orders were granted university diplomas. Even so, these women did not attend the University of Ottawa, but rather its affiliated colleges led by religious orders. The first women students It wasn't until 1923, with the creation of the a teaching school, namely l’École de pédagogie, (which would become l’École normale in 1927), and later, in 1933, with the founding of a nursing school known as l' École des garde-malades and finally in 1956, with the creation of a school of home economics known as l’École des sciences domestiques, that the Sandy Hill campus would begin to see young women as students. In 1929, Bernadette Tarte and Rita Roy were the first lay women to receive a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Ottawa. Four years later, Sister Joseph-Arthur (Claire Laramée) and Thérèse Archambault were the first to be awarded doctoral degrees. However, these women were certainly the exception to the rule back then. These three schools played a major role in the progress of female students because they specialized in areas largely dominated by women, particularly nursing and home economics.

  • Student Scholarships
    Student Scholarships Scholarships and Awards for Canadian Students Pursuing an education beyond high school is the aspiration of many students across Canada. However, the thought of financing that education often places a damper on the mood.

Students may be unable to secure funding or are too busy working multi- ple side jobs to manage their academic finances. Our goal at Canadian Student Relief is to ensure that education is accessible to every student who desires it. In this article, we bring you a plethora of scholarships that you can access through our website. With resources geared towards Indigenous students, students with disabilities, immigrant students and more.

  • COU Academic Colleague Report (Dr. Tony Bauer)
    ACADEMIC COLLEAGUES AND COUNCIL OF ONTARIO UNIVERSITIES (COU) REPORT LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY REPRESENTATITIVE . TONY BAUER Venue: UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA. APRIL 7 -8TH 2011. The following is a summary report from meetings with Academic Colleagues Meetings and the Council for Ontario Universities (COU). A more detailed COU update is available on line at the Senate website. 1.BUDGET RELATED IMPACTS The provincial government budget announcement by the Ministry of Training Colleges and Universities (MTCU) included the following: • A positive commitment to multiyear funding for a 60,000 student enrolment growth for post secondary education. This will result in 41,000 university spaces for the next 5 years and projections for the first 3 of the 5 years. • Details regarding specific allocations to individual Universities and the division of funds for undergrad and graduate programs was not provided. • Capital funding allocations for 2011/12 have not been provided to date with a possible strategy expected in May. The Ontario government has re committed to a ten year infrastructure plan for capital projects. • The facilities renewal program (FRP) will probably remain equivalent to 2010/11reduced to $26M from $40M with universities allocated 17.3M IN 2010/11. • The overall facilities index system indicates that buildings are in poor condition with a replacement value for facilities infrastructure at $19.3 billion and $1.97billion for deferred maintenance. To maintain campuses in the current condition requires $380.8 million per year. • To maintain our campuses in their current condition requires an annual expenditure of $380.8 million. Although data reported for deferred maintenance is reliable government funding has not kept up with demand.
