POLICIES AND PROCEDURES:

Conduct:
Plagiarizing or cheating on assigned work or tests will not be tolerated. If a student is guilty of either plagiarism or cheating on an assignment, he or she will receive an automatic 0 on that assignment; a second occurrence will result in a mark of 0 for that course and the loss of the student’s diploma. Any cheating on a test or exam will result in an automatic 0 on that test or exam. Cheating is considered not only the use of another’s work but also the sharing of the work with another. Both parties are equally to blame.

Attendance:
Absenteeism will be treated in the same manner as that required in the workplace, while attending in-class lectures, which allows one and one-quarter days a month for absences caused by illness. Cumulative absences jeopardize a student’s opportunity to participate in co-operative work placement required for successful completion of their training. Chronic tardiness carries the same consequences as repeated absences.
During work placement students are to maintain an attendance record acceptable to the co-operating employer. If the employer deems the student has missed too many days and requests the student to be removed from the placement the participating student will forfeit successful completion of their program.
Students are expected to phone the college at 450-1408 if they are going to be absent or late for classes and to contact both the college and the co-operating employer while on their work placement. Failure to do so before 9:00 a.m. will result in a mark of 0 on all missed tests and assignments for that day and an unsatisfactory check for that day on the practicum assessment.
