Program Standards

The Ministry of Colleges and Universities oversees the development and the review of standards for programs of
instruction. The Ministry of Labour Training and Skills Development oversees the development and the review
of standards for programs of instruction for Apprenticeship training in the province of Ontario. Each college is
required to ensure that its programs and program delivery are consistent with these standards, and must assist
students to achieve these essential outcomes.

This course contributes to Program Standards as defined by the Ministry of Colleges and Universities (MCU).
Program standards apply to all similar programs of instruction offered by colleges across the province. Each
program standard for a postsecondary program includes the following elements:

Vocational standards (the vocationally specific learning outcomes which apply to the program of instruction
in question);
Essential employability skills (the essential employability skills learning outcomes which apply to all
programs of instruction); and
General education requirement (the requirement for general education in postsecondary programs of
instruction that contribute to the development of citizens who are conscious of the diversity, complexity and
richness of the human experience; and, the society in which they live and work).

Collectively, these elements outline the essential skills and knowledge that a student must reliably demonstrate in
order to graduate from the program. For further information on the standards for your program, follow the MCU link
(www.tcu.gov.on.ca/pepg/audiences/colleges/progstan/).

Exemption Contact

Information regarding the exemption process may be accessed through your myCampus portal under the
Registrar's Office tab or by contacting the Transfer Credit Coordinator, ([email protected]) in the
Registrar's Office.

Prior Learning and Assessment and Recognition (PLAR)

PLAR uses tools to help learners reflect on, identify, articulate, and demonstrate past learning which has been
acquired through study, work and other life experiences and which is not recognized through formal transfer of credit
mechanisms. PLAR options include authentic assessment activities designed by faculty that may include challenge
exams, portfolio presentations, interviews, and written assignments. Learners may also be encouraged and
supported to design an individual documentation package that would meet the learning requirements of the course.
Any student who wishes to have any prior learning acquired through life and work experience assessed, so as to
translate it into a college credit, may initiate the process by applying through the Registrar's office. For more
information please click on the following link: http://flemingcollege.ca/admissions/prior-learning-assessment-and-

It is the responsibility of the student to retain this course outline for future reference. Course outlines may be
required to support applications for advanced standing and credit transfer to other educational institutions, portfolio
development, PLAR and accreditation with professional associations.

Synchronous sessions may be recorded. As a result, your image, voice, name, personal views and
opinions, and course work may be collected under legal authority of section 2 of the Ontario Colleges of
Applied Arts and Technology Act, 2002. This information will be used for the purpose of supporting student
learning. Any questions about this collection can be directed to the Privacy and Policy Officer at
[email protected] or by mail to 599 Brealey Drive, Peterborough, ON K9J 7B1.

Student Attendance: Students are expected to attend all scheduled synchronous in person delivery class times on
campus as per the student timetable.

Student Lateness: Students who are late for a synchronous class can be a disruption to their classmates. Your
instructor will share policies regarding late entry into classes early in the semester.

Mandatory Laboratory Materials: Students are required to purchase and wear a lab coat and safety glasses
during every lab session. Students are expected to come to each lab session with printed lab handouts, lab coat
and safety glasses. Students must have no bare skin visible below the knee and be wearing closed toed shoes.
Students who do not adhere to these requirements will not be permitted to participate in lab activities. No alternate
assignments will be offered. A small number of lab coats and safety glasses may be available for a one time rental
at a nominal charge.

Laboratory Preparation: Students are expected to prepare for each laboratory session by completing weekly
prelab assignments found at the beginning of the weekly lab handouts. Prelab work is to be completed
independently and self assessed using answer keys provided on D2L prior to each lab session. PreLab work will be
assessed for completion and evidence of self assessment at the beginning of each lab session. Prelabwork
completion may be required for access to laboratory materials. Students are also expected to read the laboratory
handouts prior to the beginning of each laboratory session.

Due Dates: All assessments are due on their stated due date and time unless the student has made specific
arrangements with the instructor prior to the due date. Assessments that are not completed or submitted on time
will result in a grade of zero.

In the event of illness or other emergencies which prohibit the student from completing or submitting an assessment
on time, alternate arrangements may be provided as per the Class Absence Operating Procedure. Documentation
may be required at the discretion of the professor. It is the responsibility of the student to communicate with the
professor about any missed assessments in a timely manner.

Technology Requirements: It is expected that students will have access to reliable internet (ideally with enough
speed/data to view video recordings), a computer/lab top/tablet and a printer. These resources are available to all
students on campus in the Learning Commons. Students may also require a method for saving work in a pdf
format. Some options for this include: completing work electronically (e.g. with a stylus in a word document) and
saving as a pdf or taking a picture/scan and converting to pdf.

10/24/24, 12:07 PM View Approved Course Outlines

Academic Integrity: Although data and information will sometimes be shared during online activities, students are
expected to complete their course work individually unless otherwise instructed. The principle of academic honesty
requires that all work submitted for evaluation and course credit be the original, unassisted work of the student.
Cheating or plagiarism including borrowing, copying, purchasing or collaborating on work, except for group projects
arranged and approved by the faculty member, or otherwise submitting work that is not the student's own violates
this principle and will not be tolerated. Students have a responsibility to support academic integrity. Breaches of
academic integrity, such as cheating and plagiarism will be dealt with according to the college academic integrity
policy (Operating Procedure #2-201A). Sanctions vary depending on the type of violation being reported from
mandatory completion of an Academic Integrity Education Module to suspension from the college. Full details of the
policy can be found at: http://department.flemingcollege.ca/hr/attachment/7761/download .

Academic Assistance: Students are encouraged to discuss academic concerns, learning needs and challenges
with their instructors as soon as possible. Students are also encouraged to contact with Accessible Education
Services (AES) staff (through Counselling Services) to determine which services are available to assist with learning
needs. Tutoring services can be booked using WCOnline.

Final Grades: Final grades in this course are assigned based on the level of academic achievement which
corresponds to the assessment components as cited in this course outline. Faculty members will not offer additional
assessments to individual students beyond those cited in this course outline.

In order to meet the needs of the student group as per their section schedules, the instructor reserves the
right to modify the course sequence. Any changes will be discussed with the class and a revised learning
sequence will be posted.
