regulations. It includes all the academic programs at TRU, the requirements for admission, the curricular requirements for graduation, and the dates of the academic terms. As the Calendar is published well in advance of the opening of the session, the university reserves the right to make any and all changes it considers desirable with regard to any matter set out herein, including the cancellation of particular courses and programs. Once a program or course has commenced, the university will not be responsible in the event the program, or course is either cancelled or not completed as a result of a strike, lockout, fire, tempest, act of God or any other cause (whether similar or dissimilar to those enumerated) beyond the reasonable control of the university. Students should consult the most recent University Calendar for up-to-date course listings and program details. Students may need to consult an older version of the University Calendar if the curricular requirements for their program change during their tenure at TRU. Please refer to archived calendar editions for program requirements if you commenced your program before the 2017-2018 academic year. Historical calendars may be found at tru.ca/calendar. The university reserves the right to change or amend its fee structure, policies and regulations at any time from those published in this calendar or elsewhere. The Calendar is published online as a PDF document available for download. A printed copy of the TRU calendar is available for purchase through TRU Print Services at tru.ca/printshop. To report errors or omissions, or to send comments or suggestions, please email calendar@tru.ca.

Copies of test scores provided upon arrival will not be accepted. Students who fail to achieve the results for direct entry into academic programs will be placed in the appropriate level of English language study as indicated below.

This assessment is completed by the Office of the Registrar for academic and degree programs. Course numbering and definitions Digits The first digit indicates year level at which the course is generally taken. Course numbers beginning with a “1” are generally first-year courses. Second year courses generally begin with a “2”. Similarly, courses beginning with a “3” are third-year courses, and courses beginning with a “4” are fourth-year courses. Courses beginning with a 5 or 6 are graduate or masters level courses. The second and third digits further define a course. The fourth digit usually indicates if a course is a campus course or an open learning course—even numbers are for campus courses, and odd numbers are for open learning courses. Vectoring (Hours of Instruction) The brackets (3, 1, 3) indicate the weekly hours of contact for the course. The first digit inside the bracket indicates the number of lecture hours per week, the second digit indicates seminar hours per week, and the third digit indicates laboratory hours per week. For example, (3,1,3) would have 3 hours of lecture, 1 hour of seminar and 3 hours of laboratory per week. Letters following the third digit indicate: “L” indicates a lab fee will be charged and “P”a practicum. Credit The credits for a course are indicated following the course vectoring/hours of instruction. See Course Description Overview. Course Prerequisites Students must meet the specific course prerequisites as set out in this calendar prior to registering in a course. Students who do not meet the course prerequisites may be asked to withdraw by the instructor. Prerequisite courses, if any, must be completed satisfactorily before a student may register for a desired course. Unless otherwise specified, satisfactory completion refers to a passing grade. Some courses may specify higher minimum grade requirements for prerequisite courses. Course Co-requisites A co-requisite is a course that must be taken at the same time as the course being described, if the co-requisite has not already been satisfactorily completed. General Conduct 1. TRU authorities do not assume responsibilities which properly rest with adults, parents or guardians. It is the policy of TRU to rely upon the good sense of students to maintain standards of acceptable behavior. 2. TRU prohibits any acts by students attending TRU, or by anyone else, which might cause injury to any person(s) or damage to TRU property. 3. No liquor shall be brought onto TRU property except when authorized by the President, or his delegate, for approved functions. Grades - Calculation of Grade Point Average Grade Point Average (GPA) is a measure of how well students are doing in their academic studies. It is used to determine a student’s eligibility to continue in programs that have minimum requirements (Honours), to graduate and to receive “with Distinction” designation on your degree. 1. For each course taken the grade point value of the mark is multiplied by the credit value of that course. 2. The total number of grade points is divided by the total number of credits to obtain the grade-point average (GPA). 3. The GPA is calculated only on courses taken for credit. 4. A course or grade may not be deleted from the permanent record. However, if students repeat a course only the highest grade will be used in the calculation of their total grade point average, including equivalent courses taken through TRU-OL. Page 16 of 363 Students should contact the Office of the Registrar to ensure GPA has been recalculated. For more information on GPA, please see: tru.ca/GPA. Note: Students who intend to transfer to another educational institution should be aware that another institution may re-compute grade point average in accordance with its own policies. Student Classification 1. Full-time student: A student who is enrolled in at least 60% of a full-time course load (40% for students with a permanent disability) each semester is classified as a full-time student. 2. Part-time student: A student who is enrolled in less than 60% of a full-time course load (less than 40% for students with a permanent disability), will be classified as a part-time student. Student Appeals Students with concerns about a particular course or instructor should first discuss the problem with the instructor. If the problem is not resolved, or the problem is such that students do not wish to approach the instructor, students should discuss the problem with the appropriate Department Chairperson or Dean. If students are still dissatisfied, they should consult with the Office of Student Affairs, or a Counsellor. Also see Policy ED 4-0, Student Academic Appeals. Student Electronic Communications Regulations A student’s TRU email address is the university's official electronic mailing address for all students. The account holder is responsible for reading and attending to email sent to this address. For details please review the IT Services website at tru.ca/its. Transcripts of Academic Record TRU regards the individual's permanent student record as a personal private document. Therefore, no transcripts are released without the written authorization of the individual concerned. Official transcripts are sent only upon the student's written request to employers, educational institutions, and other authorized agencies. Student copies of transcripts are sent to students on request in sealed envelopes which may be enclosed by the student with other materials to be sent to employers, educational institutions, etc., if this is more convenient and accepted by the other institution. TRU does not provide electronic copies (i.e. PDF files) of official or unofficial transcripts. Students may order transcripts online via myTRU or in person at the Office of the Registrar. Students can print an unofficial copy of their transcript from their myTRU account.

During this time students are required to log 120 hours within the industry at an approved place of employment. The intent of the work practicum is to create a smooth transition from a learning environment to employment within industry. Students apply online at Apply for Admission. Students will succeed in the Culinary Arts program if they are alert, quick-thinking and able to work under pressure. Being a team player is also important to a student's success. Students’ instructors and work supervisor will evaluate students during their work experience. Students receive a “complete” or “incomplete” on their grade report for their practical work experiences. In addition to the work practicum mandated by the Culinary Arts Department at TRU students must have a total of 400 hours of workbased training documented prior to registering for the Professional Cook 2 portion of the program. This is a province wide standard mandated by the Industry Training Authority (ITA). Students may gain these hours by working throughout the school year and/or during the four month break. It is important to note that the 120 hour work practicum can be placed towards your 400 hours required by ITA. The following must be included with applications: • The application fee • Official transcripts from all secondary and post-secondary institutions attended Program Costs In addition to tuition fees, culinary arts students are also required to purchase text, tools and clothing.

Contact Ed Walker by email (ewalker@tru.ca) for more information. In lieu of the apprenticeship program cooks may choose to work 9000 hours for 4½ years in the industry and challenge the Certificate of Qualification (Red Seal) examination. Further information on the apprenticeship program and trades certification can be found through the Industry Training Authority of BC see the ITA page at itabc.ca. Chef De Cuisine Journeyperson Cooks are eligible to become members of the Canadian Federation of Chefs and Cooks (CFCC) and enrol in their study program to become a Certified Chef de Cuisine, who is generally the kitchen manager. You need to be a Journeyperson Cook for at least five years, and a CFCC member to enter their program. Evaluation Culinary Arts faculty evaluate students in two ways Page 49 of 363 1. Formative Formative evaluation is the feedback and advice instructors provide on a day to day basis, during and after class, in a group setting and in private consultation. Through this kind of evaluation students receive direct and immediate feedback on their progress. Additionally, instructors keep records of student attendance, attitude and practical progress for future referencing. 2. Summative Summative evaluation determines a student’s final standing in the program. Each of the courses has a final mark and letter grade, which is determined by students completing quizzes, assignments, theory and practical exams. Grading Students must obtain 70% or a C average on each level and course. A student may be placed on probation by the instructor or Department Chair for one or more of the following circumstances: • • • • • • • • frequent lateness cheating on exams absences without excuse failure to notify the instructor of absences and/or tardiness general untidiness and consistent disregard for the program rules and regulations failure to curb bad language, hostility and abusive actions abuse of alcohol or drugs consistent failure to complete practical assignments or weakness in theory Final mark is determined by the following Theory Portion 25% Practical Evaluation 75% The first stage is to notify students verbally of problems that must be dealt with. If these problems persist the student and the instructor will collaboratively develop a probation contract. Students are monitored and failure to show significant improvement during the period of the contract may result in a dismissal. Academic Probation Program Contact The program places emphasis on training students to industry standards. A large component of the program requires teamwork.

The current program is nine months of diversified full-time training. The 13 comprehensive courses that make up the program complement each other and challenge students in hand-eye coordination, safety, industry related math, and species and retail product recognition to Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) standards. Team work and self-motivation, as well as strict sanitation procedures are important components of all courses. A strong emphasis is placed on student attendance, punctuality, dress code, and professional conduct. Personalized knife skills and machine safety training are also integral to the program. Students work hands-on (85%) with all four domestic animal species beef, pork, lamb, and poultry - in both carcass and block ready form. Additionally, students are trained to work with most major game species during the fall semester. Students are also able to participate in producing our very popular beef jerky and value-added product training. All students help to operate the very busy TRU Meat Store, learning business practices and important industry customer service skills. TRU's Retail Meat Processing Program provides a broad spectrum of training to ensure that graduates are offered many opportunities to expand their knowledge of this fascinating industry; this includes one four-week work experience anywhere in British Columbia. In addition, students are encouraged to participate in a 3 day field trip to some of the largest and most advanced animal processing and sausage manufacturing plants in British Columbia. To maintain the relevance of the program to provincial and local industry needs and standards, it is supported by an Advisory Committee with broad representation from the meat cutting industry. High School students enrolled in this type of hands-on program through the (CTC) Career Technical Centre do very well and are usually working full time by the end of their Grade 12 year. This program has been developed in consultation with the Ministry of Advanced Education, other Colleges and Institutes in British Columbia and across Canada, members of our Professional Retail Meat Processing Advisory Committee, the Canadian Professional Meat Cutters Association (CPMCA) and Business Operators not only in British Columbia, but also throughout Canada. Learning Experiences Productivity Page 50 of 363 The program places great emphasis on preparing students to meet the high standards and productivity level demanded by the industry. Students in every phase of the program are given varied work assignments and increased cutting responsibilities that match their growth in skill. Practical Work Experience During the program, students are required to undertake one four-week practicum at the location of their choice to gain industry experience. The instructor helps to arrange the practicum in collaboration with businesses throughout British Columbia. Students not on practicum continue with cutting activities, sausage manufacturing and theory portions of the program in preparation for their own field of work. Students from outside of the immediate Kamloops area are encouraged to complete the practicum in their home communities. Admission Requirements Educational Requirements 1.

Economists examine how and why people— consumers, investors, workers, managers, public servants, volunteers, make choices about the use of resources. They also study the ways in which those decisions affect regional, national and world economics. Economists examine the effects of public policy and use their training to develop government policies that are more efficient, equitable, and responsive to the public will. They apply their skills in areas as diverse as banking, law, education, finance, the environment, manufacturing, trade, welfare, agriculture, health, insurance, criminal justice, labor, energy, and transportation. Studying Economics The Economics Major, Minor, and Concentration programs within the Bachelor of Arts are designed to provide a high quality undergraduate economics education within a liberal arts tradition. Students are introduced to the core body of knowledge within the economics discipline, thereby developing within students a particular set of abilities or skills including; creativity, evaluative and critical thinking, analytics, cooperation skills, effective oral and written communication skills, information technology skills, research and decision making skills. Students also learn how to meet goals, manage time and complete a project successfully. Emphasis will be placed on the application of the basic tools to policy areas. Admission Requirements Students are expected to enter the major program in the third year of their studies, although fourth year applicants will also be considered. According to the rules of the TRU BA program, students can declare their major as early as the second year of their studies. Regardless of the chosen time of entrance into the program, all candidates must meet with the Economics Major Program Advisor to check their qualifications and design the best suited path for completing the economics and BA degree requirements. Given the complexity of the various requirements, it is highly advisable that students consult the Economics Major Program Advisor as soon as they decide to enter into the program.

With ancient roots in arithmetic and geometry, two of the seven liberal arts, mathematics has evolved into a complex language that goes far beyond calculation. It may be studied for its own beauty and aesthetics or for its applications to areas such as physical and life sciences, finance and economics, computing and information theory, social sciences, and fine arts. Mathematics has been described as the study of: quantity (arithmetic, number theory, statistics), space (geometry, linear algebra, topology), change (calculus, differential and difference equations, analysis), structure (algebra, combinatorics, graph theory logic), and randomness (probability theory, statistics, dynamical systems). The Department of Mathematics and Statistics has well-qualified faculty members who are committed to teaching excellence and student success.

Philosophical questions are sometimes called the “Big Questions” because they deal with the most fundamental ways in which humanity connects with, and understands the world, and itself. These questions deal with ethics, knowledge, reality, beauty, existence, and more. Too, doing philosophy is something that requires training. Asking and answering these sorts of questions requires using reason, logic, and other argumentative and judicious skills. The philosophical exploration of the Big Questions produces a student highly skilled in problem solving, text analysis, writing, deciphering of difficult texts, and unparalleled analytical skills. Couple these skills with the classical and contemporary knowledge gained from some of the foremost thinkers in history and you have a commanding degree. The Philosophy department at TRU offers a program of study that is well balanced between the traditional major covering all of the mainstays of classical to modern thought and the cutting edge philosophy that is emerging from new and evolving ideas. At the same time that our Major in Philosophy satisfies those students looking to study further in the discipline, it also interests those students with special interests looking for innovative courses. At TRU students can study Plato, Nietzsche, Locke, Descartes, and Quine, as well as topics such as Ethics and the Holocaust, Philosophy of Humour, Philosophy of Science, and Philosophy of Rock Music. Admission Requirements Before students can declare a Major in Philosophy, they must have met the admission requirements for the BA. Students are advised to declare their major as early as possible to ensure that they take all the required lower-level courses for the Philosophy program. See chart below for details regarding required courses for graduation. All students interested in declaring a Philosophy Major should meet with the Philosophy Major Advisor or the Philosophy Coordinator to ensure that they meet the lower-level (first- and second-year) requirements and to select the appropriate courses.

Sociologists are devoted to the study of social groups and processes, using applied logic in combination with empirical research to ascertain "what is" and "what can be". We believe that it is the task of sociologists to conduct critical public debate about social institutions. We seek to contribute to that debate and equip our students with the skills to do so too. The TRU Sociology major will give students extensive knowledge of the key social factors affecting human behaviour and also develop their skills in designing and evaluating research.

Bachelor of Arts Minor Programs Major programs may be combined with a minor in any TRU academic discipline—a major without a minor is also possible. One or more minors without a major is also possible. This allows students to acquire extensive experience in an area outside the discipline of their major, and to identify this experience as a component of their degree on their transcript. To complete a minor along with a baccalaureate degree, a student must complete the required credits specified by a minor program description, including the credits required for their degree. Unless otherwise specified, the credit requirements are all that is necessary to complete a minor in any discipline in conjunction with a major. Some disciplines may have their own specific requirements for a minor in their area. In most cases, but not for all minors, students will typically include in the 120 credits required for their degree, between 30 and 42 credits in the area of their minor.

Recommendations for Electives Both journalism courses and electives are selected in consultation with the program chair. Students should use their electives to either develop a particular specialty, or help fill in gaps in their general knowledge. For instance, students seeking to enhance their writing skills may develop a concentration in courses offered through the English Department. Similarly, the Departments of Philosophy, History, Geography, Sociology, and Political Science offer a number of 3000 and 4000 level courses that would enable students to enhance their knowledge of Canadian history, politics, and social structure. These requirements reflect the value that TRU places on a broadly-based education in the Humanities, the Sciences and Social Sciences, and Business. In addition to Communication and New Media, we recommend that students in the Bachelor of Journalism program select a range of courses, in particular those with depth in Canadian content, and several writingintensive courses.

The program also caters to those wanting to develop their academic and applied research skills through its Graduate Thesis and Graduate Project Options. The completion of a thesis or project can serve as a stepping-stone to a PhD program and an eventual career in academia or consulting. • TRU’s MBA program is unique among Canadian universities in that the same program is offered in the campus-based and online modalities on a full-time or part-time basis. This provides students with the ability to adopt the learning style that best suits them and to adjust their education to accommodate their busy work and personal schedules. Through the use of innovative online learning technologies, the MBA ensures all students receive the same rich learning experience regardless of modality with an emphasis on quality interaction among fellow students, faculty and industry professionals. The courses in the MBA were specifically selected to develop the knowledge and applied skills needed to achieve success at the management and executive levels of an organization in any field.

Program Contacts SOBE Student Services Email eem@tru.ca | Phone 250-852-7297 Web tru.ca/business Bachelor of Business Administration The Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) is a four-year degree program. During Years 1 and 2, students receive a strong general education in the humanities, social sciences, and sciences and take a number of core business courses. This serves as the foundation for advanced study in business at the upper-level. Specializations take the form of majors consisting of eight or more courses. Some of these majors prepare students to pursue a professional designation such as the Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA), Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), Certified Human Resource Professional (CHRP), or Supply Chain Management Professional (SCMP) by providing the extensive course work needed to meet the core competencies established by the profession. In Years 3 and 4, students must acquire a specialization in one of the functional areas of business, including Accounting, Entrepreneurship Finance, Human Resources, International Business, Marketing, or Supply Chain Management. Students interested in Economics can also select that discipline, or those who want more breadth in their business studies may choose the General BBA. Students in third- and fourth-year also have the option of completing a minor consisting of four course in a specific discipline or crossdisciplinary area. The purpose of a minor is to help students acquire knowledge to support their major area of study or give them breadth in their business education. Students who do not pursue a minor can take additional business or non-business electives to complete their degree. Program Overview Page 85 of 363 During their studies, students receive high quality instruction from accomplished academics and practitioners. Case studies, class presentations, guest speakers, field trips, company reports, simulations, and business competitions are all extensively used to enhance students learning experiences. In third- and fourth-year, students can go on an international exchange for a semester, participate in service learning, pursue the Co-operative Education option, or complete an honours degree. BBA graduates will have strong writing, presentation, critical thinking, and people skills which are the cornerstones of future success. Job prospects for BBA graduates are generally good and students have the potential to rise quickly in position and salary if they apply themselves at work. Learning Options Part-time – Yes | On-Campus - Yes Distance – Most courses are available through distance education Program Start Date – September, January, May Admission Requirements To be admitted to the BBA, students must meet each of the following: • • • BC Grade 12 or mature student status Foundations Math 12 or Pre-calculus Math 12 with minimum C+ or equivalent English 12/English 12 First Peoples with a minimum of 73% or equivalent Students may commence their studies while they upgrade their English and Mathematics.

To earn this distinction, students must maintain a GPA of 3.00 (B) or higher in third- and fourth-year while either (1) completing additional upper-level courses or (2) writing a thesis. No upper-level grade can fall below B- (GPA 2.67), although students can re-take courses once to meet the necessary grade requirement. To be admitted, students must have a GPA of 3.00 or higher in years one and two. Course Route students must take four additional third- and fourth- year courses in business or economics or an approved related area of which two must be at the fourth year level. Those interested in the Thesis Route must take the following three courses as part of their BBA studies: • • • BUSN 3980-3 - Business Research Methodology BUSN 4960-3 - Directed Studies or ECON 4960 - Directed Studies BUSN 4980-6 - Honours Thesis Business Research Methodology is taken in Year 3 and provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to conduct academic research in one of the disciplines. Students learn how to conduct literature reviews and prepare research proposals, and study the statistical methods that might be used in preparing an Honours Thesis. In Year 3 or Year 4, students take a Directed Studies course in the area of their proposed thesis. Honours thesis is taken in Year 4 where students, under the direction of a thesis supervisor, prepares a research paper. The course has no formal class schedule; instead students confer regularly with their supervisor who provides advice on the direction of the research project. In addition to researching and writing the thesis, students have to formally present it to the academic community. This will not only include their fellow classmates, but accomplished academics in the area. Service Learning Service learning provides an opportunity for senior-level students to share their knowledge and skills with the local community through approved community-based projects. These projects may be initiated by students, by community groups, or by faculty. To qualify for service learning credit, a faculty member must first authorize the course and then agree to supervise and then evaluate the project. Students may receive service learning credit by working individually or in cohorts on the same community project. Normally, students meet with the faculty supervisor for initial consultation and/or training during the first week of classes; after the initial meeting, students are expected to keep the faculty supervisor informed about the project on a regular basis. Page 88 of 363 At the end of the course, students will present the faculty supervisor with an evaluation form completed by the community group served and some combination of the following: a research paper, report, or document; a student journal or activity log; a presentation, performance, or exhibition. reduce study time. Through careful course selection, it is possible to complete the two degrees in just five years. Dual degrees may be completed concurrently or sequentially. BBA students may take up to 6 upper- level credits of service learning (SERV 3000, SERV 4000). 1. No BBA credit will be given for ECON 1220 if it is taken after completion of either ECON 1900 (or equivalent) or ECON 1950 (or equivalent). Co-operative Education Option 2. Co-operative Education is voluntary but is highly recommended as it provides students with the opportunity to combine academic studies with paid, career-related work experience. This will help them build a greater appreciation of the curriculum being studied; develop practical business skills; enhance their communication and critical thinking skills and self-confidence; develop a career focus and important job search skills; and establish employment and business contacts for after graduation. No BBA credit will be given for MATH 1100 if it is taken after completion of MATH 1070 (or equivalent). No credit will be given for MATH 1000 if it is taken after completion of MATH 1170 (or equivalent). 3. Students must have written permission from the program advisor to enrol in upper-level business courses during their first 60 semester credits. 4. Normally, students are only allowed to attempt a single course three times. The third attempt much be approved in writing by the chairperson of the department offering the course. The highest grade achieved in duplicated courses will be used for CGPA calculations, but the student's record will show all attempts. 5. Transfer credit will be determined on a course-by-course basis. Equivalent courses taken at approved two-year colleges will be awarded credit for lower-level courses only. Upper-level credit will be granted if a course is taken at an acceptable university. Normally, the course must be 80% equivalent to receive transfer credit. 6. Transfer credit will be assigned in accordance with the BC Transfer Guide, the TRU Credit Bank, a formal articulation agreement between the two institutions, or a specific course evaluation based on a course outline provided by the educational institution. Students with international education must provide translated official transcripts. Students must have a grade of Cor higher to receive transfer credit – non-graded (Pass/Fail, Complete) or university preparation credits will not be accepted. Transferred courses are awarded credit only and are not included in the CGPA. 7. Prior Learning Assessment (PLAR) is assessment by some valid and reliable means of what has been learned through formal and non-formal education, training or experience that is worthy of credit in a course or program offered by TRU. PLAR is used to evaluate knowledge, skills and competencies which have been acquired through, but not limited to, work experience, independent reading, hobbies, volunteer work, non-formal learning, travel and artistic pursuits. PLAR can be awarded using an individual assessment or the TRU Credit Bank. Job placements are competitive so students are not guaranteed a position in any given work term. Many Co-op employers are located outside the Kamloops region so students may have to temporarily relocate for four, eight, or 12 months. Co-op time patterns vary depending on student priorities and market conditions, however students are highly recommended to complete at least one Co-op work term during the fall and/or winter Co-op semesters. Consult the Co-op Department for details. Applications for Co-op are accepted after students successfully complete specified 1000 and 2000-level core courses in the BBA. Students will be assessed based on academic performance (minimum GPA of 2.67), performance in the specific core courses and a letter of application. Preference will be given to students with strong oral and written communication skills. Successful students must complete a Coop Seminar (COOP 1000) in order to be eligible for a work term. Course Requirements Students must complete three Co-op work terms to graduate with a Coop designation. Students earn 3 upper-level credits for each completed work term up to a maximum of 9 credits. Dual Degrees Computing and Business Dual degrees in Computing and Business provide graduates with a strong foundation from which to build a successful career in the information technology industry. Bachelor of Computing Science and BBA graduates will possess the combined management skills and computing “know how” needed to be successful in an increasingly hightech business environment. Arts and Business Dual degrees in Arts and Business provide grads with a strong platform for a successful career. Employers seek well-rounded candidates with specific skills and knowledge, such as accounting and management, as well as competencies in communications skills, intercultural knowledge, broad-based knowledge, and research skills. To earn dual degrees, students must meet the requirements of both programs. Many core and elective courses can be “double counted,” which means they can be used for credit in both programs and greatly The university maintains a credit bank containing course equivalencies for courses or programs such as professional licences, designations, or certificates completed outside of the college or university system. These non-formal courses and programs have been previously evaluated by qualified tenured/tenure track faculty members from the academic department responsible for the course and the credits to be awarded are predetermined. Page 89 of 363 completion of the BBA program. Students must have their courses approved by a program advisor before participating in an exchange. Students should contact a program advisor if they feel they are eligible for credit from the credit bank or have taken other courses or programs that they believe should be included. For individual assessment for business and economics credit, applicants will be evaluated by portfolio and/or a challenge exam that is assessed by a qualified tenured/tenure track faculty member from the academic department responsible for the course – if a challenge exam is written, a grade of C or higher is required to receive credit. PLAR credit does not count towards the residency requirement of the BBA and is awarded credit only and not included in a student’s CGPA. PLAR credit awarded by other Canadian accredited post-secondary institutions that have formally adopted the assessment standards of the Council for Adult and Experiential Learning and/or the BC Council on Admissions and Transfer (BCCAT) prior learning standards and guidelines will also be recognized. Students should contact a program advisor if they feel they are eligible for PLAR credit. Students can receive credit for no more than 30 credits of the BBA requirements by PLAR. Degree Completion Requirements 1. Complete at least 120 credits with a minimum of 60 credits as TRU credit.

Students with a first degree in business who want to change their area of focus may want to complete a post-baccalaureate diploma as well. The post-baccalaureate diplomas are also valuable to international students who wish to come to Canada to learn English, gain exposure to a new culture, and study in a compressed format. Many who do so have already studied business in their own country and have received exemptions that reduce the length of the program. These diplomas will be a great foundation for students who want to pursue a professional designation such as the Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA), Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), Certified Human Resource Professional (CHRP), or Supply Chain Management Professional (SCMP) after graduation.

Program Overview The TRU Bachelor of Social Work (BSW) program offers a nationally accredited degree that prepares students for a career as a professional social worker. The BSW degree is designed to build on the educational achievements and experiences of a wide range of students. Both diploma graduates and undergraduate students who have completed the necessary prerequisites may enter the program. The BSW program prepares competent generalist practitioners to provide service and leadership within regional, national, and global contexts to achieve social justice, respect for diversity, and social change. The program facilitates the development of knowledge, skills, and values necessary to work in collaborative and anti-oppressive ways. Students learn how to identify and eradicate barriers that prevent people from reaching their full potential. The program integrates and incorporates indigenous perspectives (First Nations, Metis, Inuit). The BSW program is fully accredited by the Canadian Association for Social Work Education. Field Experience Two social work practica are required to complete the BSW degree and the program utilizes an extensive number of service agencies in Kamloops and outlying areas for practicum. Agencies are selected based on their potential to provide appropriate and relevant supervision, the specific match with student interests and needs, and the ability to provide practical social work experience. The development of a suitable practicum placement is a collaborative effort between the Field Education Coordinator, student and agency to maximize the student's learning potential. The Bachelor of Social Work program offers practicum placements in many different service areas including child and youth care, mental health, gerontology, clinical care, probation services, non-profit and profit agencies, contracted services, special projects, multicultural agencies, local Indigenous organizations and government ministries.

This is a rapidly expanding field as many parents and caregivers are coming to realize the benefits of some form of early-years education for their children. Many families today also find they need some form of supplementary childcare services, which are dependable both in continuity and quality. Graduates receive an Early Childhood Education Diploma. Learning Options Full-time or part-time study Students are expected to complete the program on a full-time basis. A limited number of students may also be admitted to the program to study on a part-time basis.

Program Overview The TRU Faculty of Education and Social Work offers the following Early Childhood Education (ECE) programs: • • • Early Childhood Education Diploma (Full-time and part-time options available) Special Needs Educator Certificate (Post-Diploma) Infant and Toddler Educator Certificate (Post-Diploma) It is expected that all students admitted to the ECE Diploma will also complete at least one of the Post-Diploma Certificates in ECE. The Early Childhood Education Diploma program provides an exemplary model of innovative practice and opportunities for classroom-based research so that students can acquire the necessary knowledge and skills to become effective educators of young children. Areas of learning include: developing relationships with children, child development, child guidance, interpersonal relations, educational theories, designing and developing curriculum content, working with diverse learners, reflective practice, engaging with families, and program management. Practical fieldwork experience is a component of each semester. By consolidating a personal philosophy toward early childhood care and education, graduates are able to work effectively with co-workers and children to co-construct rich learning opportunities and become strong advocates for children and families. Page 107 of 363 The Infant and Toddler Educator post-diploma certificate provides ECE graduates with the advanced skills and knowledge to work with children under the age of three.

Graduates receive a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN) Degree. Upon completion graduates are eligible to write the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX) and apply for registration with the College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia (CRNBC) to practice as a Registered Nurse (RN). Learning Options Full-time study The program is offered on a full-time basis over four years. All BScN program requirements must be completed within seven years of the date of entry. Part-time study In exceptional circumstances part-time study may be available to internal students pending seat availability. All BScN program requirements must be completed within seven years of the date of entry. Kamloops Campus The BScN program is offered yearly every September with 80 seat capacity. Williams Lake Campus Williams Lake offers the first two years of the BScN program every second year with the next intake in September 2018. Program Overview The Bachelor of Science in Nursing program educates nurses to work with individuals, families, groups or communities from a health promotion perspective and an ethic of caring. The curriculum is based on a commitment to consider the changing health care needs of our society. Emerging from this commitment is the concept of caring. Caring is understood as the attitude and activity of nursing and will be considered in every nursing course. Nursing practice experiences have been planned and integrated throughout the program of studies. The BScN degree does not qualify the graduate to undertake employment as a registered nurse, rather, it qualifies the graduate to write the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). Upon successful completion of the NCLEX you apply for registration to the College of Registered Nurses of British Columbia (CRNBC) to practice as a Registered Nurse (RN). Graduates applying for the NCLEX and CRNBC will be asked to provide information regarding any convictions for criminal offenses (other than minor traffic violations). Candidates with criminal convictions may not be eligible for CRNBC registration. Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program The BScN program consists of courses in nursing, the humanities, and the physical and social sciences as they are applied to the nursing care of individuals and their families. Studies will give students the technical knowledge, human understanding and practical skills to provide responsible and competent client-centred care. Graduates of the program will be prepared to function as team members in non-specialized/specialized acute care, intermediate and/or extended care hospitals, clinics, home care agencies and community health agencies. Learning Experiences The Practice Placement Coordinators (PPC) arrange the practice experiences for nursing students in all four years of the BScN program. Page 121 of 363 These experiences include clinical work at hospitals and health care agencies, visiting families, community projects, and practicum placements in acute care, extended care and community settings. Practicum courses include out-of-town placements and may also include evening and weekend experiences. International Experiences International Consolidated Practice Experience (CPE) At the end of their third year, nursing students have an opportunity to complete an International Consolidated Practice Experience (CPE). This experience replaces their usual year end practicum. The Practice Placement Coordinator for nursing provides information on the application process. Approval is contingent on several conditions. Since 1999 TRU nursing students have been to Nepal, Samoa, Thailand, and Lesotho. Students are always accompanied by TRU nursing faculty members. Preliminary site visits for countries considered for CPE are always completed by experienced faculty to determine suitability for practice for our students. Risk assessments are also done by qualified members of TRU. Students are provided with guidance in cultural sensitivity and safety, and are also debriefed on their return from international experiences. Following their return, each group of students is expected to prepare a presentation about their experiences for students and faculty campuswide. To encourage global education, guest speakers from a variety of countries have presented to students and faculty. Another way that students can participate in an international experience is by taking part in Study Abroad which is offered during the fourth year of the BScN program. The international and global education opportunities within the BScN program are applicable to the new TRU Global Competency tru.ca/global credential.

Because of the importance of safety in nursing, students who fail to achieve a C grade in any required course will not be permitted to advance in either theory or clinical courses until they have successfully repeated the course(s). This usually means waiting until the course is offered again the following year, subject to space availability. Nursing Practice Experiences The majority of practice experiences will occur in health agencies within or near the city of Kamloops. Please be aware that all students are expected and required to have a practicum outside of Kamloops at some point through the program. Some of these practicums may involve a day trip to a local community or practicums throughout Canada. The Practice Placement Coordinator and the Committee for Approval of Practice Placements outside Kamloops have information and resources for these types of practicums. Students must provide their own transportation to the agencies involved in nursing practice courses and are also responsible for accommodation and related expenses. For students enrolled in the BScN program on a full-time basis, program completion is expected within seven consecutive years for BScN degree completion. Students are assessed on an individual basis. Degree students must apply to the TRU Office of the Registrar for permission to graduate and attend the convocation ceremony. Failures and Repeats Students who fail to achieve a C grade (60%) in each required course (BIOL 1592/BIOL 1594, BIOL 1692/BIOL 1694) and all HLSC and NURS courses within the BScN program or those to do a program withdrawal are no longer considered to be in the BScN program. To enrol in other TRU courses, students must apply into one of TRU's open programs. If a student needs to repeat a BScN required course, special permission by the BScN chairperson must be given subject to availability. If successful in completing the required course(s), students must reapply for the BScN program and acceptance will be subject to space availability. Students who are on leave from the BScN program must reapply and acceptance will be subject to space availability. The department may require potential repeating students to challenge certain portions of courses in which they previously received credit in order to assess the currency of practical skills. Demand for seats in the program is such that space for course repeaters is based on seat availability. Refer to the TRU School of Nursing Student/Faculty Handbook. A student who has previously failed in a health-related program and who subsequently applies for admission to the same program or to another health-related program will be regarded as a repeating student, unless they can show cause for being treated as a new student. A student who receives a failing grade in a course for failure to meet objectives related to professional accountability or patient safety may be refused re-admission to the program, or another health-related program, at the recommendation of the BScN chairperson and on the approval of the Dean, School of Nursing. All potential repeating students are reminded that they are subject to program completion time requirements. Withdrawal and Re-admission Students re-entering the program are required to: 1. Submit in writing to the BScN chairperson, the intent to re-enter the nursing program four months prior to the anticipated re-entry. 2. Make an appointment to see the BScN chairperson, for the purpose of assessment.

Possible reasons for requesting a long-term absence include: • • • Compassionate Medical Parental Documentation required for longer-term leaves Leave of Absence requests and appropriate documentation (i.e. Letter from student explaining the circumstances, a letter from physician or other qualified professional) should be submitted to Graduate Admissions Tuition fees are not assessed during leaves. Time taken on a Leave of Absence is not included in the time period allotted for completion of the degree and deadlines will be adjusted accordingly. All other program requirements and academic unit expectations remain the same. Students cannot undertake any form of academic work or use an of the university’s facilities during a period of leave Minimum pass for students in a master’s degree program: a student who receives a B- or lower in two or more courses may be required to withdraw regardless of their grade point average unless the program recommends otherwise. Individual programs may require a higher minimum passing grade. Probation If GPA falls below 2.67 on a 4.33 scale in a term, students are placed on academic probation. Graduate programs may set higher standards. Dismissal Students with a GPA of 2.67 on a 4.33 scale or lower in two consecutive terms may be dismissed from the program. This action requires consultation with the Graduate Program Coordinator, the relevant Dean, and the approval of the Associate Vice-President, Research and Graduate Studies. Appeal The decision to appeal the grade may be appealed through the Student Academic Appeal Process (Policy ED 4-0). The Graduate Work—Thesis, Project or Creative Work The Master’s Degree Program may include a Graduate Work, in the form of a thesis, project or production of a creative work. For a graduate thesis please refer to the GUIDELINES FOR THE PREPARATION OF GRADUATE THESIS. The Graduate Work is a significant academic experience of a Master’s Degree program, that is based on original research and inquiry, contributes to the body of knowledge, and becomes part of TRU’s library holdings, and the Canadian Archives. The work may be purely academic and/or applied, leading to the development of improved policy, practice, or products. Through the process of formulating and pursing the inquiry students have the opportunity to demonstrate academic rigour, creativity, originality, and insightfulness, and hone their ability to explore, develop, critically analyze, synthesize, interpret, and communicate ideas and concepts. Ownership of Data and Information Respect the university’s policies regarding intellectual property and the ownership of data and information. As applicable, follow the contractual agreements with other agencies or individuals regarding the ownership of data, information, and equipment. If appropriate, upon finishing the program, provide the supervisor with documentation that allows others to continue the research.

Visit tru.ca/distance the Faculty of Science is committed to providing its students with a quality education emphasizing personal attention, choice and flexibility. In the Bachelor of Science program, students can expect opportunities for practical, hands-on experience across a spectrum of science disciplines in the classroom, in the lab, and in the field. In addition, there are opportunities for students to work with nationally and internationally recognized professor-researchers in their research laboratories. Program Overview The BSc is a rigorous program that provides students with both depth and breadth in their science education. Communication skills and computer literacy are promoted. Flexibility in the program allows students to pursue interests in disciplines outside their area of specialization. TRU offers three routes to a BSc degree: a major in a specific discipline or disciplines, an honours program in a specific discipline (currently available only in biology, chemical biology, mathematics and computing science), or a general science degree. Page 132 of 363 Many of our graduates are highly successful and have gone on to science careers in medicine, veterinary medicine, medical genetics, elementary and high school teaching, resource management, high tech industry, biotechnology, optometry, pharmacy, dentistry, wildlife management, respiratory therapy and more. A significant number of TRU Science graduates have been very successful in graduate schools and have received NSERC scholarships to continue their studies. Students must complete a minimum of three Co-op work terms to graduate with a Co-op designation. Chemistry students normally apply in the fall semester of their second or third year. Service Learning Computing Science Co-op The Co-op program is open for Bachelor of Computing Science students in all majors, including those in the Computing Science Diploma program. Students may take 6 credits of service learning during their third or fourth years. Of these 6 credits, three may be applied directly to the major. A service learning course is a faculty-supervised communitybased learning project completed individually or in groups of up to five students. Bachelor of Science Co-operative Education Bachelor of Science students majoring in biology, (animal; general; cellular, molecular and microbial; ecology and environmental biology), chemical biology, chemistry, (chemistry or environmental chemistry), physics, mathematics or computing science may apply to enter the Cooperative Education option in one of these areas. This option integrates academic study terms with paid work terms, providing students with relevant experience in their field of study, and usually requires an additional year for completion of the degree program. Students apply to enter the Co-op option early in their second or third year of study and work terms normally commence at the end of that year. Refer to the Co-operative Education web page for detailed information on Co-op policies, procedures, and fees. Co-operative Education web page.

International Experiences Study Abroad TRU offers a range of International Exchange opportunities, and is a member of a large, international Study Abroad program that gives students access to universities around the world. BSc students may want to spend one or more semesters of study at another university. Page 133 of 363 International Field Schools TRU offers a number of general and program-specific field schools every year. These schools run from two to six weeks in length and offer course credit that can be applied to your degree. Admission Requirements Students entering the Bachelor of Science program are required to complete English 1100 or 1110, along with specific science courses, which vary depending on their intended major. (See below for details). Prerequisites for English 1100 are: • English 12/English 12 First Peoples with a minimum of 73% or equivalent Bachelor of Science majors have specific first year course requirements. It is strongly recommended that students become familiar with the prerequisite requirements for these courses before applying for admission. In general, the minimum prerequisite requirements for courses in the first year courses in the BSc programs are as follows: Major Prerequisites Biology (all Majors) Biology 11 or 12 with C+ or better General Science Chemistry 11 or Chemistry 0500 Chemistry Chemical Biology Pre-calculus 12 with a minimum C+ or equivalent within the past 2 years Environmental Chemistry Physics 11 or Physics 12 Computing Science Chemistry 11 or Chemistry 0500 Mathematics Mathematical Sciences Pre-calculus 12 with a minimum C+ or equivalent within the past 2 years Physics Physics 11 or Physics 1130 These are the minimum requirements. Several major programs recommend courses with more stringent prerequisite requirements. Prospective students should become familiar with the course requirements for their intended major and consult the individual course descriptions for specific prerequisite requirements. Once students are accepted into Faculty of Science programs, prerequisite courses, if any, must be completed satisfactorily prior to registering in a course. In the Bachelor of Science Major programs, satisfactory completion is a grade of C or better in the specific discipline courses (unless otherwise stated), and all course prerequisites will be checked to ensure compliance. Students may upgrade their prerequisites while enrolled in the Bachelor of Science program. Applicants can take advantage of the Step One and Group Advising sessions offered throughout the school year to help make the process of applying and determining program requirements easier to understand. For more information, please contact Academic Advising at 250-828-5075 or email advising@tru.ca. Transfers to TRU Students from another college or university may apply to transfer to TRU any time after October 1. BC Students intending to transfer should check bctransferguide.ca to see what credits may transfer. Laddering Credit to the BSc Program Course credit from the TRU Associate of Science degree may be applied toward a BSc degree. Contact the BSc Program Advisor by email at jrosvick@tru.ca for more information. Program Advising Students in the first- and second-years of the BSc program should choose their 1000-2000 level courses in consultation with an Academic Advisor (advising@tru.ca) in order to meet the basic requirements and the specific prerequisite requirements for the 3000-4000 level courses for each Major. After completing 30 credits, but before completing 60 credits, students are required to meet with the BSc Advisor (jrosvick@tru.ca) and declare a Major. The BSc Advisor will assist each student in selecting 3000-4000 level courses to meet the graduation requirements for each Major. Bachelor of Science, General Science Program The General Science program, leading to a Bachelor of Science degree, gives students an education in science that is broader than the science majors program, but still rigorous. The program offers students the opportunity to specialize at the upper-level (third- and fourth-years) in two or more of the areas of biology, chemistry, earth sciences, mathematical and computing science (mathematics, computing science and statistics) and physics. The goal of the General Science Degree program is to give flexibility for graduates in the choice of career opportunities. Graduates should be particularly well prepared to enter a BEd Secondary program to qualify for teaching in BC secondary schools. The Degree may be used as the basis for entry into graduate school in some subjects; while for others further qualifying studies may be required. The courses available in the General Science program also meet the course requirements for entry into the Faculty of Dentistry and the Faculty of Medicine at UBC and most other universities offering these programs, as well as the Veterinary Medicine program at the Western College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Saskatchewan and the Pre-Veterinary year at the Ontario Veterinary College at the University of Guelph. Completion of these course requirements does not guarantee admission to these programs. Specific university calendars should be consulted for detailed admission requirements and application procedures for these programs. The Bachelor of Science in General Science also serves as excellent preparation for students planning to enter programs in Law and in Business Administration (MBA). Course Requirements for the General Science Program Completion of the Bachelor of Science Degree in General Science requires the completion of 120 TRU credits of course work. Normally 30 credits are taken each year for a period of four years. Completion of the degree on a part-time basis is also possible. A detailed description of course requirements is found later under 'Graduation Requirements'. Lower-Level Requirements (1000- and 2000-level courses) Students in the BSc in General Science must take (or have taken) 6 TRU credits of 1000 level mathematics (calculus) and 3 credits of 1000 level introductory courses in each of chemistry, computing science, physics, and either biology or geology in their first two years. Page 134 of 363 The specific courses that are acceptable are listed under “Graduation Requirements”. Students must also take 6 additional TRU science credits from any area of science (astronomy, biology, chemistry, computing science, geology, physical geography, physics, or statistics) during their first two years. In addition, students must ensure that they obtain first year prerequisites for all second year courses they will require. During the first two years at least 3 credits of English must also be completed, including CMNS 2290 or 2300. (Students who do not achieve a high-level of performance in their first English course will be required to complete 6 credits of English.) The General Science program requires careful planning. Students must ensure that during their second year that they complete the prerequisites to the upper-level (3000- and 4000-level) courses they plan to take in subsequent years. Failure to do so may result in more than four years being required to complete their degree. Students with sufficiently high standing may, with special permission from the BSc Advisor, enrol in a limited number of upper-level courses prior to admission to third year. Normally, this may not exceed 6 upperlevel credits. These will count toward the 48 credits of upper-level courses required for graduation. Upper-Level Requirements (3000- and 4000-level courses) There are two alternative routes to degree completion in the General Science program, both of which require completion of a minimum of 48 TRU credits of upper-level courses. Of these upper-level courses, a minimum of 30 credits or 36 credits, depending upon the alternative chosen, must be in upper-level science courses (biology, chemistry, computing science, geology, mathematics, physics, and statistics), with the remaining upper-level courses chosen from science (biology, chemistry, computing science, geology, mathematics, physics, statistics) or arts or business courses. Alternatives: • • Completion of 18 upper-level credits in each of two areas (chosen from biology, chemistry, computing science, geology, mathematics and statistics, physics). This alternative is particularly recommended for students planning to qualify to teach in BC secondary schools. Completion of at least 18 upper-level credits in one of the six areas (biology, chemistry, computing science, geology, mathematics and statistics, physics) and at least 6 upperlevel credits in each of two other areas. Students who successfully complete the BSc General Science degree program will have the subject area or areas, in which 18 or more TRU credits of upper-level science courses were completed, recorded on their transcript. Bachelor of Science Major Program The Bachelor of Science (BSc) Major program is intended for students wishing to specialize in a single field of science. This may lead to graduate study if a sufficiently high standing is obtained. The courses available in the BSc Major program also meet the course requirements for entry into a variety of professional programs such as: • Dentistry, Medicine, Pharmaceutical Sciences and Rehabilitation Sciences at UBC and most other universities offering similar programs • Veterinary Medicine program at the University of Saskatchewan • Pre-veterinary year at the University of Guelph • Optometry program at the University of Waterloo • Chiropractic program at Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College • Naturopathic Medicine program at the Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, as well as similar programs at other institutions in Canada and the United States Completion of these course requirements does not guarantee admission to these programs. Specific university calendars should be consulted for detailed admission requirements and application procedures for these programs. Majors in the following areas are offered at TRU: • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Animal Biology Biology Cellular, Molecular, and Microbial Biology Chemical Biology Chemistry Computing Science Computing Science and Mathematics Ecology and Environmental Biology Environmental Chemistry General Science Mathematics Mathematics and Economics Mathematical Sciences Physics Students wishing to enter a Major Program in these areas should meet with the BSc Advisor for further information. Students wishing to include a broader range of courses in a major program may be able to proceed in a BSc Major program at TRU by completing as many of their course requirements as possible at TRU, and completing any remaining course requirements (to a maximum of 30 credits) at another university as a 'visiting student.' A Letter of Permission from TRU is required for 'visiting student' status. Bachelor of Science Major Program with a Minor Students in the BSc Major Program may also complete a minor in a discipline or disciplines outside their major. This allows students to acquire extensive experience in an area outside the discipline of their major, and to identify this experience as a component of their degree on their transcript. Students may pursue a minor in either another area of Science (Biology, Chemistry, Computing Science, Mathematics and Statistics, or Physics) or in another discipline for which sufficient upper-level (3000 and 4000 level) courses are available. For example, students in the BSc Major program may also be able to complete a minor in the following: • Archaeology and Geology (Geoarchaeology) Page 135 of 363 • • • Computing Science Environmental Economics and Sustainability Management A minor requires the completion of at least 30 credits and no more than 42 credits in the area of the minor. At least 18 of these credits must be at the upper-level (third or fourth year). No more than three of the required upper-level credits can be the same for both the major and the minor. In addition to this, minors in some disciplines have more specific requirements.

Students are advised to consult the SoBE Advisor. Students taking a major in Mathematical Sciences cannot take a minor in Computing Science. NOTE: For specific requirements regarding other minors in non-science disciplines, refer to specific faculties and their programs in the TRU Calendar and consult the appropriate program advisor. Students considering a minor must plan their program very carefully and they should complete any lower-level (1000 and 2000 level) prerequisites required for the upper-level courses they plan to take in the field of their minor during their first two years. In most cases the completion of a major and a minor will require the completion of more than 48 upper-level credits and may, depending upon what lower-level courses are taken, require the completion of more than a total of 120 credits for graduation. Page 136 of 363 Double Major Program ENGL 1100 or ENGL 1110 (or two of ENGL 1100, 1110, 1120, 1140 or 1210)1 3-6 credits Students in the BSc program may complete majors in two science disciplines. (For example: Biology and Chemistry, Chemistry and Physics, Computing Science and Mathematics, Mathematics and Physics, etc.) A double major is not permitted in Mathematics and Mathematical Science since the amount of overlap in required courses in these two majors is too great. A double major requires the completion of all the specific requirements for each major and no more than six (6) of the required upper-level credits can be the same for the two majors. The completion of a double major will normally require five years (10 semesters) of study rather than the four years (8 semesters) required for a major. Students wishing to plan a Double Major program should meet with the BSc Advisor for further information 3 credits of COMP chosen from COMP 1000, 1010, 1020, 1030, 1040, 1050, 1070, 1080,1090, 1130 or 11502 3 credits CHEM 2100/2250 6 credits CHEM 2120/2220 6 credits CHEM 2160 3 credits BIOL 2160 3 credits BIOL 2130/2340 6 credits Students in the BSc program interested in study in a non-science area beyond the scope of a minor may pursue a double degree and be awarded a degree in the second area in addition to the BSc (e.g. BSc and BA or BSc and BBA). Students must complete a minimum of 30 extra credits for the second degree and must meet the normal requirements in respect to courses and the number of credits of each program. Students are encouraged to declare, as early as possible, their intention to do a double program so that appropriate planning may be done. Course Requirements for a Major Program Completion of a Bachelor of Science Major Degree requires the completion of 120 TRU credits of course work. Normally 30 credits are taken each year for a period of four years. Completion of the degree on a part-time basis is also possible. A detailed description of course requirements is found below under “Graduation Requirements”. Lower-Level and Upper-Level Requirements Specific lower-level and upper-level requirements are listed on the following pages under each major degree program. Students must ensure that during their second year they complete necessary prerequisites to the courses they plan to take in subsequent years.

The Bachelor of Science Honours programs aim to provide motivated students with the opportunity to develop their research skills under the supervision of a faculty member and to have this recognized as part of their program. The completion of an Honours program should provide a competitive edge for students wishing to enter graduate or professional schools. At present, Honours programs for BSc students are available in the fields of Biology, Chemical Biology, Mathematics, and Computing Science. Specific requirements are listed under “Biology Majors and Honours Programs”, "Chemical Biology Major and Honours Program", "Mathematics Major and Honours Program" and "Computing Science Major and Honours Program".

This is particularly important in those major programs in which there is little flexibility in course selection. Although the General Science program allows students a good deal of flexibility in course selection, it is very important that students pay close attention to the prerequisite requirements of various courses. Failure to do so may severely limit the courses students may enrol in during any one year. Students are strongly advised to consult with a TRU Academic Advisor or the BSc Advisor to assist them with their program planning.

The program will be especially appealing to students contemplating graduate studies following the completion of the undergraduate degree. Upon successful completion of the program, students receive the “With Honours" distinction on their degree, and assign to their name the title “BNRS (Hons.).” The Honours program requires course work and completion of a thesis. Admission Requirements to the Honours Program Students pursuing a BNRS degree with honours normally apply for admission into the Honours program prior to completion of their third Year. This will be in April for non-Co-op students or in December for Coop students. An application decision by the Department of Natural Resource Sciences will be made after grades for a student’s final 3rd Year semester have been tabulated. Fourth-year standing: Students must have completed all courses in the first, second-and third- year of the BNRS program. Students must maintain a GPA of 3.33 during their first-second and third years in the BNRS program. Page 149 of 363 Supervision: A full-time faculty member (lecturer) from the Department of Natural Resource Sciences must agree to act as supervisor for the student’s thesis.

The first step will be a letter submitted to the department, by the student, outlining the proposed research and the credentials of the proposed supervisor. Consideration of the proposed external supervisor will be made jointly by the full-time department faculty, and decisions will be final. The faculty may request a letter and CV from the potential supervisor, in order to ensure he or she possesses the necessary credentials, and that he or she recognizes the responsibility associated with the supervision of an Honours thesis. 1 Elective Year 4 – Semester 2 (18 credits) ANTH XXX0 Anthropology NRSC 4050 Wildlife Management 2 NRSC 4110 Watershed Management NRSC 4210 Conflict Resolution NRSC 4980 Honours Seminar NRSC 4990 Honours Thesis It is a student’s responsibility to approach faculty members regarding supervision for the thesis required in the Honours program. Department faculty will be under no formal obligation to supervise Honours students, and faculty may supervise no more than two Honours students at a time. Neither the Department of Natural Resource Sciences nor Thompson Rivers University is obliged to identify a supervisor, even in the event that students meet the academic criteria needed for entry into the Honours Program. Minimum credits required to graduate with the BNRS (Hons) degree: 125 Thesis Project The Honours program requires the completion of a thesis. The selection of the thesis project is the responsibility of the student and the thesis supervisor. The general criteria is that the thesis should present a piece of individual, original research that contributes to scientific knowledge. Students should work closely with the supervisor, and he or she should take the lead role in the collection and analysis of the data. Identification of the thesis project should be accomplished at the very latest by the end of September and a written Thesis Project Plan must be submitted to the student’s supervisor and the Honours Coordinator by the end of the sixth week of classes in September. The Thesis Examining Committee shall be composed of the Honours Program Coordinator, the thesis supervisor, and at least one other faculty member from TRU, or under special conditions, a scientist or authority from outside the TRU community. In cases where the Honours Program Coordinator also is the thesis supervisor, then an additional faculty member will be appointed to the committee. A form listing the tentative title of the thesis and the Thesis Examining Committee must be submitted to the Honours Program Coordinator before the end of the fall semester.

Page 166 of 363 Program Promotion An overall grade of C (60%) and a minimum mark of 50% on the final course/lab final exam is required for a passing grade in each RESP course, PHYS 1580 and BIOL 1592/1692. Marks below those mentioned above are considered a failure. A student must successfully complete all courses in order to continue on to the next semester. Students may be allowed to continue in the program if they are granted Academic Probation. Academic Probation applies to students who attain a grade of C- in any one RESP or science course during a semester, but have a passing grade in all other courses in that semester. If students fails to meet the pass mark in two or more courses during one semester they will fail and be withdrawn from the program. If students fail a course while on academic probation, they will not be granted probation and will be removed from the program. Academic probation will not be granted two semesters in a row. Graduation from the Respiratory Therapy Program requires that students acquire an overall grade point average of 2.17. Graduates will receive a diploma in Respiratory Therapy. During the time between graduation and writing the certification exam, graduates may be employed as graduate RT’s. The Respiratory Therapy Program is academically rigorous with a heavier than average course load in all semesters. In order to be successful in the program, students must be willing to dedicate a significant amount of time to their studies. all courses that have a lab component associated with them. All students re-entering the program are reminded that they are subject to program completion-time requirements. A student who receives a failing grade in a course or fails to meet objectives related to professional responsibility, professional accountability or patient safety may be refused re-admission to the program (or another health-related program) at the recommendation of the Program Chairperson and the approval of the Divisional Dean. Clinical Year (third year of the diploma and fourth year of the dual credential) The clinical year is designed to allow students to gain practical experience in all aspects of Respiratory Therapy. Upon completion of: • • The year can be divided into three main areas of practice: 1. 2. 3. Failures and Repeats Failing or withdrawing students should recognize that there is no guarantee of the opportunity to repeat courses. First time, full-time students are accepted first, and if space permits, repeating students may be re-accepted. A student who fails a course(s) will be required to repeat the course(s) and the required labs associated with the course(s) within one calendar year. A failed course can only be repeated in the semester in which it is offered in the following year. Students must re-register for the course(s) and pay the appropriate fees for any repeated courses. A student who has previously failed a health-related program and who subsequently applies for admission to the same program or to another health-related program will be regarded as a repeating student, unless they can show cause for being treated as a new student. Students re-entering the program may be required to retake courses depending upon the currency of the knowledge and will have to retake Level 1 - June to November - students are expected to meet certain predetermined objectives in all rotations Level 2 - December to April - will be a further mastery of these same objectives. Diagnostics, which will include blood gas analysis, pulmonary function, and bronchoscopy. Therapy, which will include medical/surgical rotations, and pediatrics and nursery. Critical Care, which will include adult, pediatric and neonatal intensive care, operating room and anesthesia, and coronary care. Students must pass the theory course with an overall grade of 60% or better and a minimum mark of 50% on the final exam. Students may be allowed to continue on a probationary basis if they have been granted academic probation. Students must also successfully complete all of their clinical objectives to pass the clinical courses (RTCLs) Students will work the equivalent of 150 hours each month, and may be assigned shift work.

General interest and upgrading for individual needs. Overview - Welding Trades A welder is a person who has training in and is capable of welding various steel and aluminum parts using the SMAW, GMAW and FCAW processes, in the fabrication, construction, erection and repair of components or structures, in plate and structural applications. Usually, welders use manual or semi-automatic welding equipment to fuse metal pieces together. They use flame-cutting, brazing and soldering equipment. Heat is applied to the pieces to be joined, melting and fusing them to form a permanent bond. They use metal shaping machines such as brakes, shears and other metal straightening and bending machines. Welders generally plan work from drawings or by analyzing the job tasks, determine the materials required and the welding processes, then use their knowledge of welding to complete the job. They may specialize in certain types of welding such as custom fabrication, ship building and repair, pressure vessel welding, pipeline construction welding, structural construction welding or machinery and equipment repair welding. Welders use blueprint symbols to determine machining operations. They check product specifications using precision measuring instruments, and maintain equipment and replace parts when required. Manual dexterity is important for workers in this trade. Good physical health and agility are necessary. Analytical ability and an understanding of computerized machinery are important. These workers must be able to read simple instructions and follow them precisely. They should enjoy routine tasks, and working with others. Page 184 of 363 Good communication skills are also important. A willingness to continue training and taking specialized training courses is usually necessary in order to be successful. Contact the TRU Assessment Centre at 250-828-5470 for more information on Accuplacer and for testing times and locations. There is a charge to write the test each time.
