All course codes now use four digits, instead of the previous three digits, to describe each course. For example, ADMN 137, Management and Information Systems 1, is now BBUS 1371, Management and Information Systems 1. These changes did affect the content of any course. If you are interested in enrolling in a TRU-OL course through one of our consortium partners, including the University of Victoria (UVic) and Simon Fraser University (SFU), please note the UVic or SFU course codes have also changed. Please contact student@tru.ca for more information or to supply feedback. Visit www.tru.ca/distance/programs/coursecodes/ccform.html to access the cross-referencing tool. In order to help facilitate this change and make it easier for students to find their courses of interest, TRU-OL has developed a cross-referencing tool. This tool will help users understand how the old, three-digit course codes translate into the new, four-digit codes. Distance Programs and Courses Offered by TRU Distance Education www.tru.ca/new_students/distance.html TRU offers several complete distance career programs and courses in science, business, nursing and tourism, outside of its Open Learning Division. This calendar provides some information about these additional distance programs and courses. Complete program details, with admission requirements and course descriptions, are provided on the above website. See pages 99–102 for more information. 5 Programs and Courses Overview Programs and Courses Overview Through its Open Learning Division, Thompson Rivers University offers over 55 independent-study programs and 550 courses to more than 10,000 students studying at a distance allowing them to earn recognized credits and credentials from anywhere across Canada and the world. Students completing certificate, diploma or degree programs by distance through TRU-OL are awarded Thompson Rivers University credentials. Credentials awarded include: adult secondary school completion; certificates and diplomas (including advanced and post-baccalaureate); associate degrees; bachelor’s degrees; and graduate certificates. Cooperative arrangements with other educational institutions, community organizations as well as industry, business and professional associations, provide students the option to earn recognized credentials through TRU-OL. TRU-OL delivers over 300 distance courses of its own while over 250 courses are delivered on behalf of TRU-OL by its partnering consortium institutions Simon Fraser University (SFU) and the University of Victoria (UVic). Course Registration and Scheduling Choices Self-Paced Courses Most distance courses delivered by TRU-OL are offered on a continuous basis, so that students may register throughout the year. These courses are also designed as independent study courses. Students complete these courses by studying on their own, within a specified time, at a place and pace that suits their needs, and receive instructional support from highly qualified Open Learning Faculty Members. Students can communicate with their Open Learning Faculty Member by email, phone or regular mail for print courses and also by electronic conference for most web courses. Paced Courses Some TRU-OL courses are offered as paced, meaning a group of students work through the course together. Paced courses have specific start and end dates; therefore all enrolled students must begin the course, submit assignments and complete final exams on, or by, a predetermined date. Labs, clinicals and specific classroom offerings have fixed start and end dates. Extensions to paced courses are limited and granted only in exceptional circumstances. Labs are not eligible for extensions. Note: Courses delivered by consortium partners through TRU-OL are paced courses. 6 Varied Course Delivery Formats Courses delivered by TRU-OL are offered in the following formats: •P  rint-based—These courses are delivered primarily via packages of printed materials that are sent out to students. These packages may include other materials such as DVDs and textbooks. In these courses, students study individually at their own pace with Open Learning Faculty Member support. Some print-based courses include resources that require Internet access. All mandatory resources will be accessible at dial-up modem speeds while any resources that require higher-speed Internet access will be optional. Individual course details are noted in the detailed course descriptions. •W  eb-based—These courses are delivered primarily via the Internet using a learning management system. Web-based courses may include other materials such as DVDs and textbooks that are sent out to students. In these courses, students study individually at their own pace with Open Learning Faculty Member support. These courses require high-speed Internet access. Individual course details are noted in the detailed course descriptions. •O  nline—These courses are delivered primarily via the Internet using a learning management system. An Open Learning Faculty Member leads student studies in cohorts that are paced with a set schedule. This mode of delivery increases the contact and activities among students during their studies. Online courses may include other materials such as DVDs and textbooks that are sent out to students. These courses require high-speed Internet access. Individual course details are noted in the detailed course descriptions. • I n Person—These courses require the student to physically attend a classroom, lab, clinical or practicum placement, workshop or other such setting. In-person courses may also require Internet access for required or optional web resources. Internet access is normally available onsite. Individual course details are noted in the detailed course descriptions. Note: Not all delivery formats are offered for each course. Course materials may include CDs and/or DVDs. Services for Students Educational Advising and Planning English and Mathematics Assessments General educational advising services are available for prospective students considering registering for TRU-OL courses or applying for TRU-OL programs. Students interested in upgrading their English or mathematics skills have access to voluntary assessments which will help determine skill levels. Program advising is provided when students are admitted to programs offered by TRU-OL. • The English Language and Writing Assessment can help students choose a TRU-OL English course at the level best-suited to their needs. Students who have been away from formal studies for some time are encouraged to make use of an English assessment. This assessment is available only to students residing in Canada. An English assessment with First Nations content is available for First Nations students. General Educational Advising Services Student Services advisors can answer questions concerning: prerequisites and entrance requirements for specific programs; transfer credit; assessment of informal credit; preliminary program planning; course sequencing and selection; and referrals to course and program specialists. Information is provided for students who need help with career exploration, study skills or other education related concerns. Refer to the TRU-OL website or contact Student Services. Students considering completing a program through TRU-OL should identify their program of interest when contacting Student Services in order to: • The Mathematics Self-Assessment helps students select a TRU-OL mathematics course at the appropriate level. Assessment forms are available on the TRU-OL website and from Student Services. Financial Aid and Awards • Clarify the process of receiving credit for previous formal and non-formal learning. The Financial Aid and Awards service at TRU helps students access institutional and government financial assistance for part-time and full-time students. Refer to pages 23-24 and plan ahead to ensure optimal timing for your educational plans. • Confirm how to apply for program admission and what happens next. First Nations Learning Centres • Review and confirm educational goals. Program Advising After a student has received confirmation of program admission (including evaluation details), a program advisor will be available to assist with required course selection and will provide additional assistance from program commencement to graduation. In some cases, students may use certificate, diploma or associate degree studies toward a university degree. Another option is prior learning assessment and recognition (PLAR) which includes: course challenge; portfolio assessment credit; and credit bank awards for pre-assessed training offered by employers or other organizations. Refer to PLAR information on page 11. The PLAR Advisor can help you explore these options. For some TRU-OL programs, TRU-OL does not offer all of the courses required for program completion. In these cases, students are directed to apply for a Letter of Permission to take courses at other post-secondary institutions to complete program requirements. Refer to program plans information on page 10. TRU-OL is assisting community-based First Nations Learning Centres across the province. At these Centres, First Nations students study University Preparation upgrading courses, college-level courses and some university-level courses. About Distance Education Information is provided on the TRU-OL website at www.tru.ca/distance/services/resources/distance.html to help students successfully commence and continue, as distance learners. Prospective students can take a self-test in order to help determine if distance learning fits their lifestyle. Contact Student Services for more information about studying through an open and distance university. TRU-OL Services Provided in English The language of business at TRU-OL is English and therefore all student services are provided in English. Most courses and programs offered through TRU-OL have Canadian content, with course instruction provided in English. Refer to pages 13-14 regarding Proficiency in English requirements. 7 Services for Students Disability Services Policy: Disability Services is committed to facilitating and providing services and reasonable accommodations for students with documented disabilities in a manner that is consistent with TRU’s educational mandate and academic principles.

Differential fees and services may apply to applicants who are classified as international students as well as non-permanent residents of British Columbia. • Delivery of library materials (e.g. books, videos and photocopied articles) to the student’s home or workplace.* • Interlibrary loan service for articles, books and videos not in the TRU Library’s collection.* • In person borrowing from other Canadian university libraries via the Canadian University Reciprocal Borrowing Agreement. • Toll-free phone access to the library for students residing in Canada. Applicants do not require a specific grade point average (GPA) and are not required to submit transcripts from secondary school to be admitted to TRU-OL and to register in courses. Permanent Residents of British Columbia A permanent resident of British Columbia is defined as a person who resides in British Columbia and possesses Canadian citizenship or permanent resident (landed immigrant) status. Note International Students *The TRU Library cannot send books/videos to students residing outside Canada or the US. *The TRU Library does not provide required textbooks. *Students are responsible for charges on overdue, damaged or lost library materials. Official transcripts are withheld until charges are cleared. *Students registered in TRU-OL courses delivered by SFU or UVic receive library services from the institution delivering the course. For more information about Library services, please visit www.tru.ca/library/distance.html. An international student is defined as a person who: (a) does not possess Canadian citizenship (b) is not classified as a permanent resident of Canada under Canadian immigration regulations. Normally, TRU-OL coursework cannot be used to establish or extend a student authorization (visa). Requirements • Applicants to specific programs are required to fulfill program admission requirements. • Upon reading suggested course requisites, applicants registering in courses must determine if their level of education or experience is suitable to meet course prerequisites. Once registered, students are affirming they either meet course prerequisites or are taking responsibility for their enrolment in courses, as applicable. In doing so, students are acknowledging personal responsibility for their educational proficiency and performance in the courses they have enrolled in. • Applicants must have proficiency in English at a level suitable to the course or program of study for which they are applying. University-level courses require English proficiency equivalent to Grade 12 English or higher. While most courses and programs offered through TRU-OL do not require any particular English proficiency tests, prospective students who have English as a second language may be asked to provide information concerning their proficiency in English (refer to pages 13-14). 9 Admission Admission to a Program Students who wish to complete a credential through TRU-OL must fill-in and submit the TRU-OL Program Admission/Transfer Credit form online at the TRU-OL website. Students may also apply for program admission on the Post-secondary Application Service of BC (PASBC) website at www.pas.bc.ca. Applicants should familiarize themselves with TRU-OL program choices as well as specific TRU-OL regulations, fees and procedures, which differ from TRU campus-delivered program admission processes. Contact Student Services with any questions. Individuals interested in completing a TRU campus-based program can refer to www.tru.ca. Program status is considered active if a student engages in program-based courses, PLAR or transfer of credits, within a two year time span. Inactive students must reapply for program admission and are subject to current program requirements. Students are not required to be enrolled in a particular program category to take courses with TRU-OL. These non-credential track students are categorized as being in an ‘undeclared’ program at TRU-OL. Refer to page 18 for course registration information. Students who have gained credit for individual courses at TRU-OL (e.g. students who were not enrolled in a program) and now want to complete a program must apply for program admission as aforementioned. Student Responsibility TRU-OL will assist students with any questions or problems that may arise concerning the interpretation of academic regulations. However, students are responsible for ensuring that their academic choices at TRU-OL meet the regulations of their specific program and institution in all respects. Therefore, students are responsible for their academic and financial choices, including registering in appropriate courses, completing courses and/ or programs, or withdrawing from courses and/or programs as per personal choice. 10 Transferring Credit to a TRU-OL Program from Other Institutions As part of the admission process, students will need to arrange for official transcripts from all post-secondary institutions to be sent by that institution, directly to TRU-OL Admissions. Documents from international institutions may require assessment by an accredited international credential evaluation service. Students may also need to provide additional supporting documentation with the application, particularly if courses were granted more than seven years ago or completed outside BC. Once fully admitted to a program, students wishing to take courses elsewhere to meet some TRU-OL program requirements, will need to discuss choices with a Program Advisor and request a Letter of Permission. TRU-OL commences formal education assessment upon receipt of all of the following: (1) completed Program Admission/Transfer Credit form; (2) full payment of the program plan fee and assessment of transfer credit fee; (3) official transcripts of all post-secondary studies and; (4) any additional program admission requirements, such as criminal records search documents. Results of the assessment and a program plan are sent to applicants. Program Plans A program plan is a personalized record of a student’s progress toward a credential (certificate, diploma, degree). Upon application to a program, a program plan is prepared by a TRU-OL Program Advisor when the applicant’s official transcripts and applicable fees have been received and transfer credits have been assessed (minimum of four weeks is required for processing). Students pay a fee for each program plan prepared (see page 20). A personalized program plan shows the following: (1) requirements for the program; (2) student’s transfer credit; and (3) remaining credits required for program completion. Remaining credits may be earned through coursework or prior learning assessment and recognition (PLAR) (by course challenge or portfolio assisted assessment) or a combination of both. In order to ensure that a course satisfies program requirements, students should consult their program plan or their Program Advisor, when appropriate, prior to registering in a course. Students registering in courses without prior approval bear the responsibility for taking courses that may not be applicable to program requirements. Students self-registering in external courses are also responsible for transfer credit fees. Admission Students admitted to a program offered through TRU-OL who want to request permission to take a course from an institution other than TRU-OL must first apply for a Letter of Permission, using the Letter of Permission Request form (available on the TRU-OL website and from Student Services). One Letter of Permission per semester, per institution is required for such courses. A student’s record and program plan are updated when TRU-OL receives official transcripts detailing course completion from the external institution. Students are responsible for ordering these transcripts, directed to TRU-OL Admissions. Students wanting to change to a different program must consult with their Program Advisor. Intention to change programs must be confirmed in writing (email is acceptable). Upon written confirmation, a program plan for the new program is prepared. Transfer credit and program planning fees may apply (see page 20). Program Completion All program students must fulfill all requirements, including residency, in order to graduate from programs offered through TRU-OL. Residency requirements are the minimum number of TRU courses or credits that must be completed, as specified in program descriptions. Program Advisors are available to assist you with program completion details. Once all requirements have been met, students are required to apply to graduate. Refer to the TRU-OL website and the policy section on page 31 for more information regarding graduation application processes. TRU-OL courses delivered by SFU or UVic appear on TRU-OL transcripts and are applicable in meeting the residency requirements for programs offered through TRU-OL. Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) Students may be eligible for credit based on an assessment of their informal or prior learning. Prior learning assessment and recognition (PLAR) credit may be used to complete a TRU-OL credential or for other external purposes. Prior learning includes the skills and knowledge gained through learning experiences such as industry-based training, professional development workshops and seminars, private study and paid and/or volunteer work experience. Program students who have completed formal courses and programs must apply for transfer credit assessment before having their prior learning assessed. Normally, TRU-OL assesses prior learning by challenge examination or a process that includes a portfolio. PLAR credit can also be awarded for pre-assessed training from selected employers, private training organizations and/or Continuing Studies programs. Refer to PLAR policies on page 27. Challenge Examination Students in programs offered through TRU-OL may write one or more challenge examinations to demonstrate knowledge of the content of a particular TRU-OL course or of a first language (page 222). The amount of credit awarded is the same as completing the course as a registered student. Contact the PLAR Department for more information on fees and application procedures. The availability of a challenge exam for any specific course is at the discretion of the PLAR Department. In addition, these restrictions apply to challenge exam requests: • Students who are registered in a course and want to obtain credit for the course by challenging the examination are required to withdraw or cancel the course registration within the permitted deadlines. The student must then submit a separate application, with the required fees, in order to be permitted to write the challenge examination. • Students who are registered in a course and have submitted one or more assignments or have written the final examination are not permitted to write a challenge examination for the course. • Students who want to challenge a language course may do so only at the third- or fourth-year university level if the language course coincides with their first language and they have received their secondary education in that language. This restriction does not apply to lower-level literature courses. 11 Admission Portfolio-Assisted Assessment Note Students may be eligible to demonstrate that their prior learning has provided them with a series of “competencies” (such as communication abilities or problem-solving abilities), which are critical for success in completion of program requirements. Students may also use a portfolio to demonstrate that their learning is equivalent to the learning outcomes of specific TRU-OL courses. • PLAR credit awarded by TRU-OL toward a TRU credential may not be transferrable to other post-secondary institutions. Students are required to prepare and submit a learning portfolio with written documents and other materials and may be required to have an oral interview. The non-refundable PLAR fee is required in advance. Contact the PLAR Department for more information. • PLAR credit may not be accepted as admission criteria to post-degree programs. • Students are advised to confirm the transferability and acceptance of PLAR credit to another institution before applying for PLAR. Transfer credit and program planning fees may apply. • TRU-OL accepts credits earned through PLAR from all BC post-secondary institutions that have formally adopted the recommended BC provincial standards. Such credit is applied in the context of requirements of programs offered through TRU-OL.

Students studying by distance in Open Learning courses need to self-assess their proficiency in English according to the following requirements (provided in the table on page 14, as a guideline) unless asked for further proof of proficiency. If an on-campus student has a Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) or other test score, they do not have to take the TRU English Placement Test and may instead elect to enrol in English as a Second Language (ESL) or select on-campus courses based on the scores listed in the table on page 14. Students who have not obtained the required proficiency in English for the course level should discuss their plans with a Student Services advisor before registering. 13 Registration Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) Internal Based Test Paper Based Test Computer Based Test (CBT) 88+ with no section below 20 570+ Test of 230+ Written English (TWE) 4.5+ 4.5+ 80+ 550-569 213-229 TWE Essay 4.0+ 4.0+ International English Language Testing System (IELTS) Language Proficiency Index (LPI)* Michigan English Language Assessment Library Battery (MELAB) Canadian Test of Canadian English for Academic Scholars English and Trainees Language (CAEL) (CanTEST) TRU Placement** (iBT) Essay 6.5+ with no bands below 6.0 6.0+ with no band below 5.5 Level 6 81+ 4.5+ with no component score below 4.0 Direct entry to all TRU academic No subtest programs and below 60 courses. 77+ 4.0+ with no component score below 4.0 Overall 60+ No subtest below 50 Direct entry into Level 5 Campusbased ESL (2 ESL courses and 3 Academic courses) 74+ 4.0+ with no component score below 3.5 Overall 50+ No subtest below 40 Direct entry into Level 4 Campusbased ESL (4 ESL courses and 1 Academic courses) 69+ 3.5+ Overall 40+ Direct entry into Campusbased Level 3 ESL Enroll in firstyear universitylevel course e.g. ENGL H100H, H102H or H107H if suitable to educational goals Level 5 (minimum 30/40 essay) Enroll in firstyear universitylevel course Overall 70+ e.g. ENGL H100H, H102H or H107H if suitable to educational goals 71+ 61+ 530-549 500-529 197-212 173-196 5.5+ with no band below 5.0 5.0+ Level 4 Enroll in ENGL H106H or (ABE) ENGL H028H Level 3 and Below Remedial English is required discuss with Student Services or Program Advisor *LPI, a provincially recognized assessment, is available for a fee from the University of British Columbia (UBC)’s Applied Research and Evaluation Services. For more information click here or visit www.lpitest.ca. **A student must meet or exceed the required level on all aspects to be at any specific level (e.g. Direct entry students must have 88+ and all sections at least 20). When sub-scores are used, a good mark in one area will not compensate for a poor mark in another. If a student does not meet the requirements for direct entry, it is recommended that they write the TRU placement test to determine the appropriate placement for them in English as a second language (ESLG). If all of their scores, subtests and overall standing, place them at, for example Level 4, it is recommended that they do the TRU placement test to determine their courses; however they will not be placed below Level 4 (or whichever level their initial scores place them). 14 Registration Course Resources University Consortium Arrangement The University Consortium arrangement allows students to register in TRU-OL distance courses delivered by SFU or UVic without having to be admitted to the institution delivering the course. Registration in TRU-OL courses delivered by SFU or UVic does not mean a student is admitted to the institution delivering the course. TRU-OL courses delivered by SFU or UVic appear on TRU-OL transcripts and are applicable toward the residency requirements for programs offered through TRU-OL. If a student’s academic goal is a credential offered through SFU or UVic, students will be required to apply for admission to the institution offering the credential. Note that the number of credits that are transferrable to a particular program is subject to specific regulations. SFU Students may be required to provide proof of English proficiency appropriate to their level of study. It is assumed that students have Grade 12 English or equivalent for courses requiring no formal prerequisites. Refer to TRU-OL requirements and to specific course details for more information regarding English proficiency requirements.

Students also receive information about the Open Learning Faculty Member overseeing their course. Open Learning Faculty Members will contact students who are registered in courses however students may choose to contact their Open Learning Faculty Member first. Refer to myTRU or contact Student Services for additional resources, deadlines, procedures and policies. SFU Students receive a letter from TRU-OL confirming course registration. Students receive an email from SFU regarding the receipt and online access to course packages and access to online materials approximately three weeks prior to the course start date. Students are responsible for ensuring their email address is updated with TRU-OL. Additional research materials are available through SFU’s Library. UVIC Students receive a letter from TRU-OL confirming course registration. Registered students receive instructions by mail from UVic program areas about purchasing texts and course materials from the UVic Bookstore and accessing library resources. 15 Registration Completion of Courses with Continuous Registration TRU-OL The following applies to courses with continuous registration (e.g. do not have fixed start dates and are called ‘not paced’) delivered by TRU-OL: • Most three-credit distance courses are designed to be completed within a four-month period, based on 12 to 15 hours of study time per week. Students, however, may complete courses sooner. Three courses taken consecutively are considered a full-load and 18 credits (or six courses) taken over a year are considered full-time study. • It is recommended that students in courses delivered by TRU-OL complete assignments in sequential order and submit them on schedule to their Open Learning Faculty Member (at least several weeks before the final examination) to achieve the learning outcomes and to prepare for their final examination. • The schedule of eligible examination session dates, within the maximum course completion time, is listed in the student’s confirmation of registration package. Contact Student Services at student@tru.ca for clarification. Note Full-time financial aid students should refer to their Study Contract for course completion deadlines. UVIC Course completion times are given in the course descriptions. If none is listed, contact the specific UVic program area (page 224). Those wanting to audit a TRU-OL course delivered by UVic should contact UVic directly. Some TRU-OL courses delivered by UVic are available to students residing outside Canada. Students should contact the UVic program area for more details. Some TRU-OL courses delivered by UVic include face-to-face lab, classroom or field-trip components, which may require travel to UVic or a designated site. The UVic program area provides details. Grading TRU-OL, SFU and UVIC Course assessment and marking information is included in the course material or in the online course environment, while final letter grading information can be found in the policy section on page 30.

Registration Transferring Credit to Other Institutions CVU-UVC BC’s post-secondary education system has a well-established transfer credit system, particularly designed for students planning to take individual courses or a partial university program through various institutions. Offering over 2,000 distance courses to choose from www.cvu-uvc.ca Students planning to register in TRU-OL courses and planning to complete a program offered by another institution are advised to refer to that institution’s admission information to determine initial program requirements. Admissions and transfer information is available on the web at www.bccat.bc.ca. Visiting students planning to take courses through TRU-OL for transfer to another institution can register in courses without submitting transcripts. Although a Letter of Permission is not required by TRU-OL, it is recommended that students obtain one from their home institution to ensure that the course(s) selected applies to their program of study. Courses listed in this calendar and on the TRU-OL website delivered by SFU or UVic are TRU-OL university-level courses for which students receive TRU-OL credit on TRU-OL transcripts. Students are responsible to be aware of transfer credit policies prior to registration for courses they plan to transfer to other institutions. SFU, UVic Transfer Credit Students are advised that registration in TRU-OL courses delivered by SFU or UVic may not automatically be accepted for transfer credit to a specific program of study by the institution delivering the course. Students who take SFU-delivered courses that are designated W, Q or B and apply to SFU and receive an offer of admission will receive credit under the W, Q, B curriculum requirements, subject to transfer credit regulations. Students considering transferring to SFU should refer to admission requirements information on the SFU website at www.sfu.ca/ugcr/for_students.html Note: SFU’s admission and curriculum requirements changed in 2006. Students planning to take courses through TRU-OL and then transfer the credit to another institution should refer to admissions and transfer information on the web at www.bccat.bc.ca. Students should note that registration in TRU-OL courses delivered by SFU or UVic does not mean they are admitted to the institution delivering the course. Students are advised to refer to the individual institution’s admission policies. TRU-OL is a member of Canadian Virtual University/ Université virtuelle canadienne (CVU), a collaboration of 12 Canadian universities specializing in distance and online education. Students enrolled in a program offered by TRU-OL that is listed on the CVU website may take courses at any other member university without paying additional admission fees or Letter of Permission fees. This gives students greater course selection - over 2,000 courses in English or French - to best meet their schedule, interests and learning style. Credits earned at a member university can be transferred to the distance program a student is enrolled in, provided the course meets the program requirements. Advanced Placement Advanced Placement is a program of college-level courses and examinations, administered by the College Entrance Examination Board in New York, with a Canadian office in Kelowna, BC. Unless stated otherwise, TRU-OL requires that students have a minimum grade of 3.0 in the Advanced Placement program to receive transfer credit. International Baccalaureate The International Baccalaureate program, sponsored by a Swiss foundation in Geneva, is a comprehensive curriculum, including languages, science, mathematics and humanities.

Part-time Bursaries and Grants (non-repayable aid) The Part-time Student Assistance Application form and complete application details are provided on the TRU-OL website and by the Financial Aid and Awards office. Allow up to four weeks for processing the application. The programs listed in this section pay for all direct educational costs, including tuition and fees, required textbooks, miscellaneous allowance and some childcare when applicable. Adult Basic Education Student Assistance Program (ABESAP) This provincial grant program provides funding to students registered in Adult Basic Education courses; Grade 10, 11 or 12 completion; ESL (English as a second language); or Basic Literacy. Canada Student Grant for Part-time Students This federal grant program provides funding to students in financial need and who are registered in qualifying post-secondary courses who are pursuing a certificate, diploma or degree. The maximum funding per student per program year (August 1 to July 31) is $1,200. Erm Fiorillo-Hal Davis CKNW Orphans’ Fund Endowment Established by the CKNW Orphans’ Fund, this endowment provides funding to students in distance courses who are single parents. Preference is given to those not already receiving funding through other programs and who have not previously completed a post-secondary program of study. Barbara Guttmann-Gee Bursary Endowment Established by BC Open University 1991 graduate Barbara Guttmann-Gee, this endowment provides funding to female students in distance courses. Preference is given to older females in financial need. Open Learning Bursary Endowment Fund This endowment gives preference to applicants in distance courses who do not have access to other sources of financial aid and those pursuing a TRU credential. 23 Financial Aids and Awards Full-time Student Loans and Grants Students may apply through StudentAid BC on the web at www.studentaidbc.ca or may use a paper application, which should be submitted a minimum of six weeks before the funding is required. Students may also check their loan application status on the web at www.studentaidbc.ca. StudentAid BC This program provides Canada student loans and BC student loans to BC residents who demonstrate financial need and who are enrolled full-time in post-secondary programs. The maximum award for both educational and living costs is $320 per week for eligible students without dependents and $510 per week for eligible students with dependents. To be considered a full-time student in the program, it is necessary to register in and complete a minimum course load of nine new credits per four-month loan period (repeat registrations can be used only when no assignments were passed in the previous registration). For distance education students this is a shorter completion schedule than TRU-OL imposes. This can be a challenge for students unfamiliar with studying at home and it is recommended that new TRU-OL students begin with part-time study or that they familiarize themselves with the new method of study before taking out loans. Information about taking distance courses is provided on the TRU-OL website to help students start and continue successfully as distance learners (refer to page 7). Much of the flexibility of open learning is lost when applying for full-time government student loans. There are 12 distance education loan periods, each four months long, which start the first of each month. Students are required to register in a full-time course load within the month prior to the start date of each period (e.g. register in August for the September term). Late phone and web registrations are permitted up to the tenth day of each month after the term start date. Detailed information (Six Key Steps to Getting a Student Loan through TRU-OL) and registration deadlines are provided on the TRU-OL website. Any continuous-entry registrations received after the final deadline on the tenth of the month can only be applied to the following term (e.g. a January 11 registration can be applied only to the February loan term). All students receiving student loans or grants are required to sign a Study Contract. After registration, full-time status for distance courses is maintained by submitting assignments each month and submitting all coursework for at least nine credits (the minimum required for full-time status) within the four month loan period. Loan documents and grants are not released past the study period midpoint without sufficient academic progress. Final examinations may be written in the month following the loan period (e.g. examinations may be written in May for a January to April loan). Failure to submit assignments on a regular schedule throughout the loan period or failure to submit all coursework by the end of the loan period may be regarded as a “technical” withdrawal from full-time study even though a student does not formally withdraw. This may result in a portion of the loan being placed in “over award” and becoming immediately repayable. Eligibility for further funds, interest-free status and other privileges associated with full-time status may be affected. Interest-Free Status Students enrolled in full-time studies who are not negotiating a new Canada Student Loan or BC Student Loan, should contact Financial Aid and Awards for information about keeping their existing loans in interest-fee status. Full-time Single Parents Bursary Endowment Established by the CKNW Orphans’ Fund, this endowment provides funding to students in distance courses who are single parents, have received the maximum student loan amount and still have “unmet need.” Applicants must be returning students and have successfully completed their last full-time term through TRU-OL. Applications forms are available on the TRU-OL website. TRU-OL Emergency Bridging Loan This fund is used to provide short-term bridging loans to enrolled distance education students who incur unforeseen delays in their financing (normally student loans). Loans of up to $800, interest-free, are provided for a period of up to 60 days, provided the pending financing is guaranteed and assignable (e.g. an approved student loan). These loans cannot be issued prior to the first day of a student’s study period. Applications forms are available on the TRU-OL website. Other Sources of Assistance Information about other sources of assistance is provided on the TRU-OL website. 24 Regulations and Policies Students are subject to the academic regulations of the institution through which each course is taken, as well as to overall regulations established by Thompson Rivers University, Open Learning (TRU-OL).

Further penalties may be imposed such as: (a) invalidation of the previously issued university program plan; (b) refusal of admission into programs offered through TRU-OL; or (c) requirement to withdraw from a program. D. Transfer credit is awarded only on the basis A student is defined as anyone who requests and receives educational services from TRU-OL. of official transcripts that have either been sent directly to TRU-OL by the institution, or represent appropriately authenticated copies. All documents submitted, unless considered irreplaceable, become the property of TRU-OL. 1. Academic Integrity and Student Conduct E. Authenticated translation is required of documents (official transcripts) in a language other than English or French. This policy and related procedures are under review. Refer to the TRU-OL website or contact Student Services for updates on the policy. Information about particular course expectations, and topics such as plagiarism, are available in course materials and we recommend that students discuss these topics with their Open Learning Faculty Members if questions arise. Refer to the full policy on the website (see below) or email Student Services at for further information. • Academic Integrity – TRU Policy ED 5-0 (www.tru.ca/policy/education.html) 2. Formal Transfer Credit 2.1 Certificate, Diploma and Degree Programs A. Transfer credit is evaluated for all studies taken through an accredited or similarly recognized educational institution. In BC, accredited institutions include those that are: listed in the Online Transfer Guide; members of the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada; or publicly funded. Outside Canada, institutions that are recognized by accrediting bodies within the country of origin are considered on an individual basis. B. Transfer credit is awarded to all qualifying courses passed according to the standards of a sending institution that is recognized by TRU-OL. C. The applicant must declare all formal studies from all previously attended post-secondary institutions and professional associations at the time of initial application for transfer credit. The applicant must arrange for official transcripts from all previously attended post-secondary institutions and professional associations in support of the application to be sent to TRU-OL. If all formal studies are not declared at the time of initial application, a further documentation F. Other formal studies may be considered for credit on an individual basis. G. Credit may be granted on a course-by-course basis or for a combination of courses. Credit granted for a group of courses or an entire program is known as “block transfer.” H. Assessed transfer credit is applied on the basis of its applicability to a specific program. I. Students changing programs or requiring information about how credits earned and transferred apply to another TRU-OL credential must apply in writing for a re-evaluation of their transfer credit. Transfer credit and program planning fees may apply. J. Normally, there is no time limit on the transfer of courses. However, in some subject areas and for some programs, courses taken over seven years previously are not automatically awarded transfer credit. Currency of the subject matter is taken into account. K. Programs often change and students, who have declared a program and have had a program plan prepared but have not registered in courses appropriate to their program in any two-year period, may be required to fulfill the program’s new requirements, including preparation of a new program plan. In cases where students have had an initial assessment of transfer credit and where the program has changed, current program planning fees will be charged, and the seven-year rule on age of credit may apply. L. Past courses from another post-secondary institution are given credit provided they were transferable in the year taken. M. In cases where TRU-OL offers an equivalent course, the current course number is assigned. In cases where TRU-OL no longer offers the course, unassigned credit is given, as appropriate. 25 Regulations and Policies N. TRU-OL assesses requests by individuals for transfer credit for college or university courses completed at high schools in the same manner as any other requests. There is no penalty for dual credit, that is, credit that is used toward completion of both a high-school and a college or university program. 2.6 Transfer Credit from Master’s Degree Programs O. Grades for courses that have received transfer credit are transcripted on the student’s Thompson Rivers University (TRU) transcript. For block transfer awarded, no grades are transcripted. 2.7 Procedures: Application for Transfer Credit Note: Informal credit and credit from non-accredited institutions may be assessed through TRU-OL’s prior learning assessment and recognition (PLAR) process and applied to TRU-OL programs, per individual program requirements or used for other purposes. See section 3 for more details. 2.2 Multiple Certificates and Diplomas A minimum of 15 credits is required for a certificate (some certificates require 30 or more credits). A minimum of 60 credits is required for a diploma. Credits earned in a preceding credential may not automatically apply to a credential requiring a greater number of credits or a higher-level credential. 2.3 Second Credentials Credits used to meet the requirements of an undergraduate credential, through TRU-OL or elsewhere, may be used to meet a maximum of 50% of the total requirements of a second undergraduate qualification at the same or lower level provided the second qualification is in a different subject area. All requirements for completion of the second qualification must be met. Regulation 2.1.J does not apply. 2.4 Multiple Undergraduate Degrees A minimum of 120 credits is required for the first undergraduate degree, and a minimum of 60 additional credits is required for all subsequent undergraduate degrees. The student can use credits only once toward a further degree. The degrees taken must be in different areas and approved by the dean (or designate) accountable for the program. There should be no limit to the number of degrees taken under these rules. 2.5 Letters of Permission Students applying to take courses at other institutions for credit toward a credential offered through TRU-OL must obtain prior written permission with a Letter of Permission. The form is available on the TRU-OL website and from Student Services. 26 There is no limit on the amount of credit that can be used from an uncompleted and expired master’s degree program toward the completion of a credential offered through TRU-OL. A. Students applying for transfer credit are required to complete and submit the Program Admission/Transfer Credit form, with applicable fees, and arrange for the submission of supporting documents (official transcripts). B. Completed Program Admission/Transfer Credit forms may be submitted to TRU-OL electronically, by mail or by fax. Forms are available on the TRU-OL website, on the Post-secondary Application Service of BC (PASBC) website and from Student Services. C. If application for credit is being made for courses taken outside BC, a course syllabus or calendar from the institution is to be included. Course syllabuses or calendars in a language other than English must be translated to English at the student’s expense. D. Students submitting documents from institutions outside Canada may be required to have their documents evaluated by an accredited international credential evaluation service. E. The appropriate transfer credit assessment fee must accompany all requests for assessment of transfer credit involving documents originating both within and outside BC. Documents from Yukon institutions listed in the Online Transfer Guide are treated as being from BC. Note: Permanent residents of BC who have completed secondary/ high-school courses in BC and are applying for transfer credit toward an ABE credential are exempt from this fee. F. Assessment of transfer credit does not commence until all required fees have been received with all transcripts declared on the Program Admission/Transfer Credit form. G. Fees are non-refundable and cannot be applied toward any other assessment fee charged by TRU-OL. H. No further transfer credit assessment fees are charged to registered students who have been issued a Letter of Permission or where prior agreement has been reached between institutions, except for cases in which a student requests to have transfer credit assessed against a different credential. Regulations and Policies 3. Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) TRU recognizes that adults acquire skills and knowledge through their life experience, beyond the learning acquired through formal education. TRU offers methods to assess this non-formal or prior learning.

ABE programs offered through TRU-OL are designed for adults by the Ministry of Advanced Education and are similar to ABE programs offered by colleges in BC. TRU-OL offers the following: • ABE Intermediate Certificate program (Grade 10 equivalency) and ABE Advanced Certificate program (Grade 11 equivalency) for adult learners interested in entering the workforce, vocational programs or Grade 12 studies. • BC Adult Graduation Diploma program (Grade 12 equivalency) (replaces the former ABE Provincial Diploma option and the “Adult Dogwood”) for adult learners interested in completing their BC Ministry of Education secondary school graduation requirements in order to enter the workforce or post-secondary studies. • The flexibility to transfer courses from other colleges and schools. • The opportunity to take the prerequisites required for entry into other post-secondary institutions; in consultation with the selected institution. • A range of related services, including English and mathematic assessments and financial assistance. Prior to Applying Prior to applying for an ABE program, refer to the TRU-OL website or contact Student Services for availability of courses outside Canada and for program updates. Choosing Courses • The course or level students begin with depends on what they know and can do. For example, students who want to register in courses for the BC Adult Graduation Diploma do not necessarily need all the ABE Advanced Certificate courses. However, certain skills are needed to succeed in a course. Assessments are available for English and mathematics placement. Refer to page 7. • Courses students take may depend on courses they have already completed. For example, students may be able to apply credits earned in high school toward the BC Adult Graduation Diploma. To obtain the diploma, students are normally required to complete a minimum of three courses they have taken as an adult [either be at least 19 years of age or 18 years of age and have been out of the public school system a minimum of 12 months]. A minimum of two of the required courses must be completed through TRU to obtain the diploma. • The choice of courses depends on the student’s educational goals. Students who plan to go to a college and transfer to a university later on, or who plan to take certain vocational programs, have to complete, at minimum, an advanced-level mathematics course and four provincial-level courses, including English 12. Normally, students who plan to go directly to a university or an institute are required to complete a minimum of eight courses (four advanced and four provincial). Some universities also require an elementary understanding of a second language. Students are strongly advised to consult the college or university they plan to attend with regard to entrance requirements. Admissions and transfer information is available on the web at www.bccat.bc.ca. • The number of courses students choose may depend on how much work they can handle. Most students start with one course or at most two. Learning is more effective when students work hard and finish quickly rather than take a large number of courses at the same time. 35 Adult Basic Education (ABE) ABE Intermediate Certificate Elective (one required) • Program is available to applicants in Canada or outside Canada.

Investments deal with the accumulation of surplus funds in the economy for transfer to individuals and businesses in need of acquiring additional capital. Professionals spend their time designing, pricing and trading investment instruments such as term deposits, stocks, bonds and asset-backed securities, to aid the flow of funds. Some of our economy’s biggest corporations, including banks and insurance companies, serve as intermediaries in this process. The other side of the industry is managerial finance. Professionals arrange the financing required for an organization’s daily operations and future growth. Sources of capital such as lines of credit, corporate paper, term loans, mortgages, bonds, leases, venture capital and initial public offerings, are used to finance seasonal build-ups in working capital and major asset purchases. Many finance concentration graduates will go on to complete a professional designation such as the Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), Certified Financial Planner (CFP) or Associate of the Institute of Canadian Bankers (AICB). Note that students interested in the CFA track may wish to take courses, unavailable through TRU-OL, via Nipissing University distance courses. Nipissing University is a member of the Canadian Virtual University consortium, thereby permitting TRU-OL students to register in Nipissing courses via a simplified letter of permission.

In most cases, a professional designation can be earned by combining appropriate work experience (determined by the association) with a prescribed program of studies. Employers often use these designations or an individuals’ enrolment/registration in these programs, in their hiring decisions. Many professional associations recognize the credits earned through TRU-OL courses as meeting part or all of their educational requirements. Many TRU-OL course descriptions in this calendar indicate which associations recognize a particular course (refer to the chart on pages 7071). In some cases, a program requires students to select from among several recognized courses. It is important to note that this course transfer information is subject to ongoing evaluation by the associations and that certain minimum grade requirements may apply. In some cases, certification is based on an association’s examinations/assessments and as such course transfer is not applicable, though some TRU-OL courses are suggested. Contact the specific professional association for more information (refer to pages 69 for contact information).

The Return to Registered Nurse Practice (RRNP) Certificate is a program designed to provide educational access to non-practicing nurses and support their re-entry into professional practice. Program candidates include: individuals required by the College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia (CRNBC) to complete courses or a program of study, to either gain re-instatement of licensure or initial registration in BC; and those who have previously been registered by a Canadian provincial regulatory authority. The courses (theoretical, laboratory and practice) are intended to reacquaint participants with the substantive knowledge, values and skills required to support nursing practice decisions and actions within the context of an evolving Canadian health care system. In addition, the courses aim to inspire and support professional growth, which is integral to the maintenance of continuing competency. This program of study is grounded in the Collaboration for Academic Education in Nursing philosophy, which acknowledges the Professional Standards for Registered Nurses and Nurse Practitioners (CRNBC, 2011), the Scope of Practice for Registered Nurses: Standards, Limits, and Conditions (2011), as well as the Competencies in the Context of Entry-level Registered Nurse Practice in BC (CRNBC, 2009) and the individual participants’ position and continuing competency plan to promote their readiness to return to practice. Candidates for this program should have previously been registered as a nurse through a provincial nursing regulatory body and must not have been in practice as a registered nurse for the past five to 10 years. Individuals interested in the program, but who have been away for Canadian nursing practice for more than 10 years, can apply for an individual assessment by the nursing Program Coordinator. Prior to program admission, these individuals may be required to complete additional course work or individualized pre-requisites before registering into a course. In such cases and where feasible an individual learning plan is to be developed in consultation with the Program Coordinator as this will aid student advising and success. The essential supplies and skills required to complete the program include: appropriate nursing attire; access to a stethoscope; regular access to a computer; and the ability to engage in online learning using a learning management system. 76 Admission Requirements • A letter of assessment from CRNBC for applicants seeking initial registration with CRNBC (such as a non-practicing nurse living outside of BC and within Canada) or applying for CRNBC reinstatement, or • Verification of current annual Registered Nurse Licensure in Canada, in addition to: • Official post-secondary transcripts • Documented evidence of Registered Nursing practice/employment history • Program Coordinator Interview Admission Process Refer to the TRU-OL website or contact Student Services for the program admission package (including checklist and other required forms).
