College Inc. is an organization that supports
students and offers a variety of important
services to them. Take a glance at the next
few pages to see everything we have to offer
you! We have 6 full time staff and a student
board of 14 who are more than willing to be
there for you.
Statistics show that students participating
in some form of extracurricular activity at
college are more likely to succeed. So, I
encourage all students to get involved in
campus life, and take advantage of the
variety of activities & special events we
provide. SUCCI is proud to run the Campus
Employment Service here at Confederation.
We employ many students every year. If you
are strapped for cash, stop by the SUCCI
office and apply.
This year we are providing all full time post
secondary students with a Thunder Bay Transit
U-Pass and will allow affordable bus service
to students. Our hope is to lower our carbon
footprint by providing students affordable
access to public transportation.
This is my College and I am proud. Let’s make
this a year you can be proud of too and show
everyone why Confederation students are
the best students! Show your college pride
and spirit by getting involved and using all
the services available. This will make your
experience a true “College Experience”!
I wish you all nothing but the best in this
2010-2011 year!

This is your opportunity to voice your opinion and
give SUCCI some feedback on the real issues facing
Confederation College students. The Class President
System is a rewarding leadership experience that very
often leads to further student leadership opportunities.
Upbeat bi-weekly meetings are opportunities to make
friends, get involved and really make an impact on your
school.
One president is elected or appointed by their class. Class
Presidents are responsible for talking to their class about
current issues, recording feedback and concerns and
bringing that information back to their peers.
Senators run the Class Presidents meetings and share the
feedback to the SUCCI Board. For more information on
how to get involved, please contact the Senator of your
division or SUCCI VP-Internal, Alex Walsh at vpinternal@
succi.com or 475.6586.

I loved being a Class President! It is a great opportunity to
meet new people and voice concerns. The class presidents
find out all of the things that are going on around campus
so it’s hard to miss anything! It is a great way to get involved
with the school and to talk to people from other programs.
I would highly recommend being a class rep to everyone.
It is a great opportunity and it’s a lot of fun!

* Paraphrased from The
Charter of Students’ Rights

your student rights & responsibilities
it s tar ts with you .
Each member of the Confederation College
community is responsible for helping to
create an environment that is harassment
and discrimination free. Working, learning
and socializing can be accomplished in an
environment of understanding and mutual
respect for the dignity and rights of each
individual. The classroom is a professional
environment and should be treated as such.
This approach emphasizes that the college
needs to be an inclusive learning community.
As a college we include and celebrate a wide
range of diversities. We are an access college
and we need to do all that we can to make the
college experience a positive and productive
one for all students, faculty and staff. Please
respect your faculty, classmates and the
classroom process.
You have a right to an environment conducive
to learning which excludes verbal, personal,
emotional, physical, and e-harassment
(msn, email, text chat, social networking
etc.) and bullying in all its forms. All
e-communication with your faculty or
classmates should remain professional.

Negahneewin College of Academic and Community Development is a
College within and throughout Confederation College. Negahneewin
Council, comprised of Aboriginal community and college representatives,
is engaged in a partnership with Confederation College to provide
direction and leadership to Negahneewin College. This leadership is
shown through the continual growth of programs and services both within
Negahneewin College of Academic and Community Development and
throughout Confederation College. The Council’s vision is expressed
in the commitment towards Negahneewin College of Academic and
Community Development and is interwoven throughout Confederation
College’s strategic planning process. This model of an inclusive learning
community encourages students, faculty, staff and communities to create
a progressive learning space that fosters community development.
The dialogue process between and among Negahneewin Council,
the Confederation College Board Of Governors and the leadership
throughout the college emphasizes the commitment to meet community
needs and interests. We share equally the responsibility of building a
learner-centered community that is rooted in principles of empowerment.
It is a dynamic process responsive to community priorities on a local
and regional basis, connected to the ideals of people who live and
work in Northwestern Ontario to realize their common future. This belief
is fundamental to the partnership that is Negahneewin College and
Confederation College.
The staff at Negahneewin College of Academic and Community
Development can assist students as they enter college, make their
transition to fulltime postsecondary education and, ultimately,
experience successful completion of certificate, diploma and degree
studies. They ensure that students are familiar with the structure and
processes inside the college and that students are able to obtain the
supports and services they need at various stages of their academic
life. Often, students are not aware of their responsibilities as learners and
are unaware of the many obligations of a learning institution towards
students during their postsecondary education. Many Aboriginal students
encounter difficulties with academic requirements and process at college
and are unable to navigate the various formal requirements of their
educational experience.
38 I Confederation College
Negahneewin’s support is particularly important for Aboriginal students
who face challenges at college due to issues such as a lack of familiarity
with large, urban education institutions, their transition to a new city
and separation from home and community. This is compounded by
academic disadvantages such as under preparedness, variances in
high school accreditation and the familiarity with the structural and
highly formalized demands of education. Further, the experience of
social isolation and cultural alienation prevents these students from
becoming comfortable in new surroundings and discourages them from
real engagement in learning. Negahneewin College of Academic and
Community Development provides students with an identifiable space
which is culturally responsive and familiar. This setting is recognizable and
accessible in that it is where Aboriginal specific resources and academic
programming are available.

http://www.confederationc.on.ca/learningcentre/

Campus Security Partners
Our staff of professionally trained Security Guards are available 24 hours
per day to provide you with assistance when you need it.
In an emergency, Security will respond to your location. Working with both
Blackberries and radios, they can make the important follow-up contacts
quickly and efficiently. Whether the assistance is internal or external (i.e.
Fire, Police or Ambulance), Security can make the calls and provide
directions to the emergency.
Campus Security Partners are also responsible for building and room
access.
Campus Security Partners can be contacted by calling 623-0465 from
private phones, pay phones or cell phones. They can also be directly
contacted by using a campus “Help! Phone”, the “Blue Light Phone”, or by
pressing an urgent assistance “Blue Button”.
Visit us at: http://www.confederationc.on.ca/publicsafety/
The Help! Phone
Look for “Help! Phones” across campus in all academic buildings and at
Sibley Hall Residence. They are your one-stop access point for help:
- in any emergency (e.g. injury
or illness , fire or smoke, victim of
crime, witness to crime, suspicious
activity, etc.)
- in reporting a hazardous situation
to the Facilities Services Work
Order Desk (e.g. spills, icy sidewalks,
unpleasant odours, etc.)
- in contacting Health Services, The
Hub, the Student Union (SUCCI), and
the Computer Services Help Desk.
The Blue Light Phone
Our solar-powered, wireless emergency Blue Light phone, located at the
main pathway to Lot E, provides push button access to Security assistance
24 hours a day.
“Blue Button” Urgent Assistance
Sometime an emergency is so urgent (e.g. assault), that you don’t have
time to talk. You can still get help, by pressing a “Blue Button” urgent
assistance device. The buttons are located in hallways throughout all
academic buildings.
Evacuation Alarms Bells
When a fire occurs or smoke is detected, you will hear fire alarms ringing.
When the fire alarms sounds, you must leave the building immediately by
the most direct route to the outdoors. Use the stairs: do not use elevators.
Walk; don’t run.
Evacuation Is Not Always the Best Response.
In some emergency situations, evacuation may not be a safe response
alternative. The preferred option for protecting yourself may be to:
“Shelter in Place”, “Hold and Secure”, or “Lockdown”. When those
situations arise, you will be directed by public announcement, to “Shelter
in Place”, “Hold and Secure”, or “Lockdown”.
Shelter in Place
The Shelter in Place strategy will be implemented in the case of an
external environmental threat in the vicinity of the college.
Examples:
• chemical spill or gas leak in neighbourhood
• presence of smoke or fire in vicinity
• extreme weather conditions
Protocol: If Shelter in Place becomes necessary:
• return indoors / don’t go outdoors
• remain inside while Shelter in Place is in effect
• close windows & window coverings
• turn off cell phones & electronic devices
• do not call Switchboard, Security, etc. for info
• continue regular indoor routines
• remain in place until advised by public announcement that
Shelter in Place has been lifted
Hold and Secure
The Hold and Secure procedure is initiated when the threat is proximate
to, but not inside the building. It poses no immediate threat to students or
staff unless they leave the building.
Examples:
• Police activity on the College grounds
• a crime in progress
• Police searching for offender in the neighbourhood
Protocol: If Hold and Secure becomes necessary:
• return indoors / don’t go outdoors
• remain inside while Hold and Secure is in place
• close & lock exterior doors
• continue regular indoor routines
• remain in place until advised by public announcement that Hold and Secure has been lifted
Lockdown
The Lockdown procedure is initiated when danger is present on the
college site, and safety of students, staff and public is threatened.
Examples:
• an active shooter is in the building or on College property or grounds
Protocol: If Lockdown becomes necessary:
• enter the nearest room
• close doors, locking or barricading when possible
• move away from doors and windows
• maintain silence
• call 911 or contact Security only if you have helpful information (e.g. location of suspect)
• lie on floor if gunshots are heard
• prepare to evacuate the building or to relocate to another space if
your security is compromised
• remain in place until advised by the Police
HOT TIP: When thinking about what you need to do if a Lockdown is
announced, remember the following: “Out of Sight. Out of Mind. Out of
Harm’s Way”.

Campus Walk Team

Campus Alone
This program is available to individuals who may be working alone on
campus after regular hours. When you submit your entry permit to be
in the building after regular hours, you may request Campus Security
Partners to check in on you while you are on-site.
Entry Permits
Students who need access to a classroom or lab after regular hours, need
to submit a signed entry permit to Facilities Services no later than 4:30 PM,
Monday to Friday. Blank forms may be picked up at the Facilities Services
Office (Room B106 of the Shuniah Building), or may be downloaded from
the Public Safety website: http://www.confederationc.on.ca/publicsafety/
Parking – Permits Required!
If you are parking in a coloured lot on campus, you will need a parking
permit. Application for a parking permit can be made at: https://www.
trustedshopper.com/concollegeparking/ Day permits can be purchased
at the Parking Kiosk located off the Golf Links entrance to the main
campus. Smart Cards, good for 17 or 22 entries to campus, can be
purchased at the Bookstore. For more information about parking, visit our
internet site at: http://www.confederationc.on.ca/publicsafety/
We Share the Air!
Smoking is permitted only in designated outdoor smoking areas. It is not
permitted on patios, in areas with overhangs or canopies (such as at the
Golf Links and Balmoral entrances to the Shuniah Building), or at entrances
and exits to buildings. For the location of the designated smoking area
nearest you, refer to the “We Share the Air!” site plans at:
http://www.confederationc.on.ca/publicsafety/
Confederation College is dedicated to providing a safe and healthy work
and study environment for all members of the College community. In
order to achieve this goal, everyone has responsibilities.
Reporting Hazards
If you suspect a hazard in a classroom, lab or shop, advise your faculty
member or the person in charge immediately.
To report a hazard on the grounds (e.g. icy sidewalk, etc.) or in a public
place on campus (e.g a spill on a stairway or in a hallway, etc.), contact
the Facilities Services Work Order Desk, by using a “Help! Phone” located
in all academic buildings on campus, and at Sibley Hall Residence.
Using Safety Equipment or Clothing
Activities in some programs require that students use or wear specific
types of safety equipment or clothing. Consult with your faculty member
or program coordinator for saftey requirements in your program.
Following Directions
Follow the directions of the instructor or supervisor — they reflect
legislated safety requirements and best safe working practices.
Reporting Injuries
Injured? Help is only as far away as your closest “Help Me! Phone” located
in classrooms; a “Help! Phone” located in hallways; or, the “Blue Light”
phone in Lot E. You can also contact Security by calling 623-0465 from a
cell phone, private phone or pay phone. If you are injured in a classroom,
lab or shop, your faculty member or person in charge of the space, will be
able to help access first aid or medical assistance.
Need Additional Information?
Your faculty member, technologist, program coordinator, and/or Dean;
your supervisor or manager; Facility Managers at the Fitness Centre and
Sibley Hall Residence; the Manager, Health & Safety (475-6624); and
members of the College’s Health and Safety Committees are available
to help students resolve health and safety questions, or to find additional

Student Handbook
The Student Handbook is produced annually to assist
students with college information, Academic Policies
and Procedures, and Academic Program information.
In the interests of student success, students are
advised to familiarize themselves with the information
contained in the Student Handbook. Should
clarification or additional information be required,
contact Registration Services, Student Services, the
President of the Student Union, or the Vice President,
Academic .
The College regularly reviews its Academic Policies
and Procedures. Between publication periods for this
handbook, the most current versions found on the
College web site at www.confederationc.on.ca will
be the policies and procedures in effect.
The college attempts to update the information it
supplies in its calendar, Student Handbook, website
and other publications but it cannot and does not
represent or warrant that all information is accurate.
All such information should be expressly checked
for accuracy by the student prior to considering
enrolment in any course or program. The college
expressly denies responsibility or liability to anyone
who may suffer loss, or who may otherwise be
adversely affected by changes to deviations from, or
errors in the information contained in this publication.
All persons using this information must do so on that
basis, and waive any claim they may have, founded
either in contract or tort, for any losses or damages
sustained as a result of their reliance upon any
information contained in this publication.
On the pages following, students will find information on college
policies, procedures and student rights. Information is categorized
in three major areas: Academic Rights and Responsibilities; NonAcademic Rights & Responsibilities and Administrative Practices. In
some cases, more detailed information is available on the college
website and the link is provided.
The members of the Confederation College learning community
—students, staff, instructors—want to operate in a respectful and
effective learning environment. Toward that end, the community
is dedicated to resolving disagreements in a manner that is fair,
effective, and timely.
Most disagreements—whether related to academic or
behavioural issues—can be resolved informally, by direct
communication among those involved. Students may seek
support from representatives of the Student Union, the College
Ombuds Office, or Student Success Centre in resolving these
disputes. The College has also established practices outlining
resolution procedures for both academic and non-academic
disputes.
The lists beginning on page 88 give examples of behaviours
associated with the Respectful College Community Policy and the
Student Code of Conduct.

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 84. 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.
Respectful College Community Policy, 5-5-5
Complaints Process (Non-Academic), 5-5-04
Student Code of Conduct, 5-5-02
Charter of Students’ Rights and Responsibilities, 5-5-03
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.
Academic Integrity College Practice, 5-5-01
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 College Practice.
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.
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.
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.
Student Accommodation Practices, 5-4-07
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.
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.
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.
Student Information Release, 5-2-02
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 nonacademic, 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.
The Standard of Student conduct section of the Student Code of
Conduct is reproduced on page 86. Page 88, provides examples
of behaviours associated with the Respectful College Community
Policy. Both excerpts can assist students in determining behaviour
that is and is not acceptable.

APPENDIX A
Confederation College Respectful College Community
Examples of Behaviours Pertaining to this Policy
Bullying
“Bullying” is the misuse of power or position to persistently criticize
and condemn; to openly humiliate and undermine an individual’s
ability until this person becomes so fearful that their confidence
crumbles and they lose belief in themselves. These attacks on
the individual are normally sudden, irrational, unpredictable
and usually unfair. Bullying damages individuals’ health and
lives and also undermines productivity and effective work
relationships. Bullying can occur when professional abrasiveness
becomes tainted with personal vindictiveness—when criticism is
destructive not constructive, is criticism of the person rather than
her/his mistakes, publicly humiliates rather than privately corrects
and results in a person feeling threatened or compromised. It is
recognized that bullying can range from extreme and obvious
behaviour to behaviour which is subtle and seemingly innocuous.
Bullying is deemed to include, but is not restricted to:
•
physically abusive or aggressive behaviour or gestures such
as pushing, hitting, finger pointing or standing close to an
individual in an aggressive manner
•
verbally abusive behaviour such as yelling, insults, threats,
berating, belittling and name calling or hurtful pranks
•
ostracism/exclusion, or conversely, excessive supervision
•
undermining of the individual’s position by changing
work objectives/guidelines without consultation, setting
unreasonable, unrealistic or impossible goals/targets, taking
credit for the individual’s work, deriding the individual’s work
to managers, or sabotaging the individual’s work
•
removing areas of responsibility, without justification, and
giving people menial or trivial tasks to do instead
•
unreasonable refusal to delegate authority and responsibility
•
display of offensive material either in hard copy or electronic
form which is intended to intimidate or humiliate an individual

picking on people and unreasonably criticizing their
performance
•
impeding an individual’s efforts at promotions or transfers
•
use of information and communication technologies such
as e-mail, cell phone and pager text messages, instant
messaging, personal Web sites, social networking sites and
online personal polling Web sites, to create, post, display,
transmit or distribute messages or other materials which are
intended to intimidate or humiliate an individual
“Academic bullying” is a particular form of bullying that
universities must guard against, and includes asserting a position
of intellectual superiority in an aggressive, abusive or offensive
manner, making threats of academic failure, or public sarcasm
and humiliation.
What is NOT Bullying/Personal Harassment

•
the legitimate (i.e. not discriminatory, arbitrary or abusive)
exercise of academic freedom, freedom of thought and
inquiry, and expression in teaching and research which

principles
Sexual Harassment
“Harassment on the basis of Sexual Orientation and/or Gender
Identity” is a form of Human Rights Harassment. It is any behaviour,
deliberate or otherwise, relating to an individual’s sexual
orientation and/or gender identity, or perceived orientation/
identity, directed at an individual or group, which is found
to be offensive or objectionable to the recipient and which
creates an intimidating, hostile or offensive environment. This
form of human rights harassment often stems from homophobia
and heterosexism. Homophobia means harassing, prejudicial
treatment of, or negative attitudes about, lesbian, gay, bisexual,
trans-identified, transgendered, inter-sexed, two-spirited, or
queer (LGBTQ) persons and those perceived to be of these sexual
orientations or gender identities. Homophobia includes a range
of feelings and behaviours from discomfort and fear to disgust,
hatred and violence. Heterosexism is based on societal values
that dictate that everyone is, or should be, heterosexual. Some
examples of this form of harassment include:
•
“gay-bashing” or physical violence, including sexual violence
•
making derogatory comments, innuendos, insults, slurs,
jokes or threats about sexual orientation or sexual practice,
including voice mail, email, online chat or posted on a
website
•
silencing talk of sexual or gender diversity
•
forcing people to “come out” or to “stay in the closet”
(disclose or hide their sexual orientation)
•
linking homosexuality with pedophilia (child abuse)
•
accusing LGBTQ persons of “recruiting” others to join in their
sexual orientation
•
defacing notices, posters or property with homophobic
graffiti
•
removing or defacing notices, posters, postcards, or other
property of the Positive Space Campaign or other awareness
initiatives on campus
•
rejecting or excluding individuals or groups because of their
sexual orientation or gender identity
•
treating the sexual orientations or gender identities of LGBTQ
persons as less valid than those of heterosexuals
•
behaving as though all LGBTQ people have AIDS or other
sexually transmitted diseases or are responsible for the spread
of them
It is recognized that both women and men can suffer sexual
harassment and that sexual harassment can also occur
between members of the same sex. Sexual Harassment can be
psychological or physical and examples include, but are not
restricted to:
•
suggestive or demeaning remarks, jokes, innuendos or other
types of verbal abuse of a sexual or sexist nature directed at
an individual or group
•
offensive or derogatory language alluding to a person’s
private life or sexual behaviour or orientation by innuendo,
jokes, or remarks
•
graphic or suggestive comments or taunting about an
individual’s appearance, characteristics, or clothing
•
engaging in a course of vexatious comment or conduct of a
sexual nature that is unwelcome
•
pressing an individual to accept unwelcome invitations,
including repeated telephone calls, letters, or emails
•
compromising invitations and provocative suggestions
•
unwanted requests for sexual favours
•
leering, ogling, or other sexually oriented gestures
•
deliberate physical contact to which the individual has not
consented or had the opportunity to object to, unnecessary
or inappropriate touching and/or offensive gestures
•
sexual assault (an offence under section 271 of the Criminal
Code of Canada)
•
the production, display, or distribution of pornographic or
other sexually offensive or derogatory pictures or material
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 are 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.
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.
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 point
F
Failure to meet minimum level of achievement
0.0 grade point
IN
Course requirements have not
been met at this time
Not included in GPA
EX
Course requirements met through
Transfer Credits
Not included in GPA
CR

NCR
Credit course learning outcomes not met

the course for credit
Not included in GPA
In Most cases, alpha grade assignments are based on the
following numeric grade ranges. Exceptions may apply in some
programs. 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
All F grades are included on the student’s transcript. In cases
where students register more than once in the same course, only
the highest grade will be used in calculating the GPA; however, all
grades achieved are included on the student transcript.
An IN 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, upgrade the IN to a passing mark within
the prescribed time and to the satisfaction of the faculty. The
faculty will then forward a Change Of Grade form 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 passing grade:
Fall term Winter term Summer term Mar. 15 following
Nov. 15 following

How are Grade Point Averages Calculated
Definitions & Calculations:
Credit =
Credited course hours per semester (as noted in
course outline)
Quality Points = Course hours (X) Numerical equivalent of letter
grades
Grade Point = Average (GPA)
Total quality points (÷) Total credit Hours
NOTE: Only program related courses that receive A, B, C, D, or F
grade are used in the calculation of the program GPA.
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 course (approved curriculum) are used in the
grade point average.
What does academic status mean?
There are four academic statuses:
Good Standing
GPA =/>2.0
First Class
Standing
GPA=/>3.5
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)
Academic
Intervention
GPA=/>1.25 </1.99
To be eligible for graduation, a student must successfully
complete all program requirements with a GPA of at least 2.0.
If the student’s term GPA falls between 2.0 and 1.251, the student
will be placed on an academic intervention contract by the
coordinator. The contract will include one or more of the following
action plans and must be signed by the student:
a. Program continuation with specific conditions
b.
Program continuance at a reduced course load
c.
Remedial assistance with student success supports
d. Referral to counseling for career exploration and/or
development of an Academic Success plan.
Academic
Probation
GPA=/<1.25
Students with a term GPA below 1.25 will be placed on an
Academic Probation contract by the coordinator. The contract
will include one or more of the following action plans and must be
signed by the student:
a. Program continuation with specific conditions
b.
Program continuance at a reduced course load
c.
Remedial assistance with student success supports
d. Referral to counseling for career exploration and/or
development of an Academic Success plan
e.
Program discontinuation with referral to Student Success
Centre.
Can I get credit for courses taken at other schools?
Transfer credits are awarded on a course-by-course basis to
individuals applying to, or enrolled in Confederation College
programs and who have academic credits earned outside of
Confederation College. A full description of the process and policy
can be found at:
http://www.confederationc.on.ca/transfercredits/
Can I get credit for experience?
Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) is an evaluation
of prior leaning acquired through life and work experience.
Detailed information on the College policy and procedure for
PLAR can be found at www.confederationc.on.ca/plar
Where do I find information on graduation?
Dates for convocation ceremonies are published in the Academic
Calendar of Events. In the semester preceding the convocation
ceremony a link will be activated on the College website with
information for potential graduates.
To be eligible for graduation, a student must successfully complete
all program requirements with a GPA of at least 2.0.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Procedures for withdrawing from a program
Note: Verbal notification of withdrawal is not acceptable. Follow
the appropriate procedure as outlined below.
Students living in Thunder Bay or at the college at the time of
withdrawal will:
1. Obtain an official withdrawal form from the college school or
program coordinator and complete the appropriate sections.
2.
Take the form to have it signed by either the program
coordinator or a representative from Student Success.
2. Deliver the complete form to Registration Services.
Students registered in a program at any of the college’s regional
campuses will:
1. Obtain an official withdrawal form from the campus office or
program coordinator and complete the appropriate sections.
2. Personally take the withdrawal form and have it signed by the
program coordinator or area manager.
3. Personally sign the withdrawal form and leave it or send it to
the main office of the campus. If the student is registered as a
full-time Distance Education student or is not able to attend
the college campus he/ she is registered at, Admissions &
Registration must be immediately notified in writing regarding
the decision to withdraw, and reason for withdrawal.
The withdrawal procedure must be initiated and completed by
the student.
Note: A student’s official date of withdrawal on record will be the
date the letter is received in Registration Services.
Failing to officially withdraw as outlined above will result in the
assignment of F grades which will become part of a student’s
permanent academic record.
Will I get any money back when I leave the College?
Partial tuition refunds are provided to full time students who
officially withdraw from their programs within 10 days of the
start of class. Refunds are not issued after that date. Any
exceptional requests for special consideration must be submitted
to the Registrar, in writing, along with appropriate support
documentation for consideration. Partial refunds are provided to
part time students who officially withdraw on or before the second
scheduled class. Refunds are not issued after that date.
The Refund Schedule outlines the refund that a student will be
eligible for should they officially withdraw from the college during
various times within the academic semesters. Students must take
note of the dates by which withdrawal can happen without
considerable financial or academic penalty.
1. If a student owes an outstanding debt to Confederation
College, the College reserves the right to retain the amount
of a student’s refund necessary to repay that debt.
2. Students in receipt of financial assistance through the Ontario
Student Assistance Program who withdraw from the college
and become eligible for a refund are advised that the refund
will be forwarded to the facility with which they negotiated
the Ontario Student Loan or Canada Student Loan as a
payment against their loan.
3. International students should contact the International office
for a copy of the International Refund Schedule.
Note: The refund schedule is based on rates for the 2010-11
academic year and is subject to change.
There will be no other refunds except those stated on the
approved refund schedule. The refund schedule is available at
http://www.confederationc.on.ca/admissions/.
Exceptional Course/Program Withdrawals
In extraordinary circumstances, the Registrar gives consideration
to course/program withdrawals after published deadline dates.
Requests for exceptional consideration must be submitted in
writing to the Registrar with supporting documentation. Such
requests must be submitted to the Registrar in a timely manner for
consideration. The decision of the Registrar is final and not subject
to appeal.
The withdrawal procedure must be initiated and completed by
the student.
Note: A student’s official date of withdrawal on record will be the
date the letter is received in Registration Services.
Failing to officially withdraw as outlined above will result in the
assignment of F grades which will become part of a student’s
permanent academic record.

Email [email protected] I 107
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 on the
next page 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
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:
108 I Confederation College Computer Services
•
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 name (capitalized), 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 Information (Banner) system
•
Student Web Access Outlook E-mail system
•
Student printing resources
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.
Account Password Security
Confederation College employs an account password security
policy that requires all College network account holders (including
students) to maintain secure passwords.
All network account passwords must meet 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
In addition to the above requirements, the College network will
require all account holders to change their password a minimum
of once every 200 days. Users may, if desired, change their
password a maximum of once every 30 days.
Note: passwords entered that do not meet all of the above security
standards will be rejected by the system.
How to Change Your College Student Account Password
For security purposes, it is highly recommended that all students
change their initial (default) passwords.
Depending whether you are a student using a computer
workstation at the Thunder Bay College campus or not, please use
one of the two methods below to change your College student
account password.
Method #1 – When using a computer at one of the Thunder Bay
College campus buildings
1. After logging into the computer, and once the Windows
desktop has loaded, on the keyboard press <Ctrl> + <Alt> +
<Delete> simultaneously.
2. Click the “Change Password” button.
3. Type in your old/current password.
4. Type in your new password in both boxes (be sure to follow the
password security guidelines as above).
5. Click “OK”.
Method #2 – When using a computer at a regional campus or from
home (outside the main College campus)
1. On an Internet connected computer, go to the College’s
web portal page by typing in the URL: http://portal.
confederationc.on.ca into your web browser program.
2. One the portal page is loaded, under the Login Trouble?
section click on the ‘Click here to reset your College account
password’ link.
3. On the ‘Reset Account Password’ screen, enter in your
username, old/current password, and then your new
password in both boxes (be sure to follow the password
security guidelines as above).
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.

Note: Above computer labs that are marked as “open access”
never have classes booked in them and are open for use by
any students needing a computer workstation to complete their
school work.
Computer Labs Notes
1.
If a class is in progress in one of the rooms 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.
4.
The Computer Services Help Desk and all computer labs are
closed on holidays and the week between Christmas and
New Year’s Day.
Wireless Network Facilities
Wireless access points (running on the 802.11 A/B/G standards) to
the college network/Internet have been installed throughout the
college. This means that any college user with a wireless enabled
device (laptop, PDA’s, etc.) can 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:
Network Name/SSID: snap?47
Network Key (WEP): DAFCA169AA
Hand-outs are available at the Computer Services Help Desk (Rm.
346) for more specific instructions on connecting to the wireless
network using Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Mac
operating systems.
For further information or help on connecting your device to the
college wireless network, please contact 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 ‘Start’ button at the bottom left of the screen.
2.
Select ‘Shut Down’
3.
Then choose the option to ‘Log off’ and then click the ‘OK’
button
4.
Wait until the computer completely logs off — when the
screen displays the Windows network logon screen again,
then it is safe to leave the computer.
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 floppy disks
(which can be easily damaged and lost). 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. A final 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.
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.
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.
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 = Black & White (double-sided print) = Colour (single or double-sided print) = $0.05 cents per/page
$0.04 cents/page
$0.40 cents/page
Printing costs are automatically deducted from a students’
available print balance each time a print job is sent. Please 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.
Purchasing Additional Print Balance
If a student exceeds the $36-per year printing allocation, they can
purchase additional allocation (in $5 increments) 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.
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 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.
