Cancellations and Retractions Thompson Rivers University (TRU) students have an obligation to fulfill the responsibilities of their particular roles as members of an academic community. They are expected to be honest and forthright in their endeavors. Academic integrity is both highly valued and expected. Apart from the responsibility of the student in not participating in an act of academic dishonesty, it is the responsibility of the TRU staff to take all reasonable steps to educate students regarding academic integrity and to prevent and to detect acts of academic dishonesty. It is an instructor's responsibility to confront a student when such an act is suspected and to take appropriate action if academic dishonesty, in the opinion of the instructor, has occurred. REGULATIONS AND PROCEDURES When an instructor suspects that academic dishonesty has occurred, the instructor will contact and advise the student concerned that an issue involving academic dishonesty is suspected. The instructor will schedule a meeting with the student and present in writing the allegations, suggested resolution, and the right to appeal. A student may choose to be accompanied by a peer to the meeting. A student has the right to an interpreter at any stage of this process.

FORMS OF ACADEMIC DISHONESTY Cheating: Cheating is an act of deception by which a student misrepresents that he or she has mastered information on an academic exercise that the student has not mastered. Examples: • • • • • Copying from another student's test paper or assignment. Allowing another student to copy from a test paper or assignments. Using the course textbook, electronic devices, or other material such as a notebook brought to a class meeting but not authorized for use during a test. Collaborating during a test with any other person by receiving information without authority. Using specifically prepared materials during a test (e.g. notes, formula lists, etc.). Academic Misconduct: Academic misconduct is the intentional violation of TRU academic policies and procedures by tampering with grades, taking part in obtaining or distributing any part of an un-administered test, or by other means of academic deception not explicitly identified in other sections of this policy. Examples: • • • • • • Stealing, buying, or otherwise obtaining all or part of an unadministered test or document through the internet. Selling or giving away all or part of an un-administered test including answers to an un-administered test. Bribing any other person to obtain an un-administered test or any information about the test. Entering a building or office for the purpose of changing a grade in a grade book, on a test, or on other work for which a grade is given.

Entering a building or office or otherwise viewing a test for the purpose of obtaining or examining an un-administered test. Fabrication: Fabrication is the intentional use of invented information or the falsification of research or other findings with the intent to deceive. Examples: • • Listing sources in a bibliography not used in the academic exercise. Inventing data or source of information for research or other academic exercise. • • • Submitting as one's own any academic exercise (e.g. written work, printing, sculpture, etc.) prepared totally or in part by another. Citing information not taken from the source indicated. Taking a test for someone, or permitting someone to take a test for the registered student. Plagiarism: Plagiarism is the inclusion of someone else's words, ideas or data as one's own work. When a student submits work for credit that includes the words, ideas or data of others, the source of that information must be acknowledged through complete, accurate, and specific footnote references, and, if verbatim statements are included, through quotation marks or block format. By placing his/her name on work submitted for credit, the student certifies the originality of all work not otherwise identified by appropriate acknowledgements. A student will avoid being charged with plagiarism if there is an acknowledgement of indebtedness: • • • • Whenever one quotes another person's actual words; Whenever one uses another person's idea, opinion or theory, even if it is completely paraphrased in one's own words; and Whenever one cites facts, statistics, or other illustrative materials from a published source or a lecture when that material is not considered common knowledge. Citing facts, statistics or other illustrative materials considered to be common knowledge is not considered plagiarism. FINAL EXAMS Role of the instructor Because of the special relationship that exists between an instructor and his or her students, the basic responsibility for taking reasonable precaution to prevent academic dishonesty shall rest with the instructor or instructors in charge of a particular course or program. As well as maintaining the security of final examinations, the instructor must, of necessity, assume responsibility for taking all reasonable steps to detect academic dishonesty in all forms of course or program assessment in the courses or programs for which he or she is responsible. Each instructor, subject to Policy ED 3-9: Examinations, Regulations II.2.a), is responsible for the invigilation of his/her scheduled exams, at the time and place indicated in the final exam schedule. Any additional invigilators that may be required are to be accessed by the instructor involved and their respective Chairperson. Invigilators are responsible for taking reasonable precautions to prevent cheating in that examination. Invigilators must also check the room for possible security problems both before the students enter the room and again after the examination is complete. ED 3-4 Academic Recognition Dean’s List Thompson Rivers University (TRU) recognizes full-time students who earn superior grades in an academic semester as "Dean’s List" students. 18 In programs that follow the Academic/Career/Developmental grading system, students who enroll in and successfully complete at least 15 credits during a semester, and who achieve a semester grade point average of 3.50 or better, are recognized as Dean’s List students for that semester. In programs that follow the Vocational Trades/Non-Trades Programs or Competency-Based grading systems, students who enroll in and successfully complete a full course load during a specific study term, who meet appropriate performance standards and are ranked in the top 10% of the students in their respective programs, may be recognized as Dean’s List students. GRADUATION WITH RECOGNITION TRU recognizes students who complete certificate, diploma and degree programs with high academic performance as graduating with first or second class standing. 1. Students who complete the requirements for graduation from a TRU program with a GPA of 3.50 or better in all courses counted towards program requirements, or who have met appropriate performance standards and rank in the top 10% of their graduating classes in programs where program GPA measures are not appropriate, may be deemed to have graduated with First Class standing. 2. Students who complete the requirements for graduation from a TRU program with a GPA of at least 3.00 but less than 3.50 in all courses counted toward program requirements, or who rank in the top 25% but not the top 10% of their graduating classes in programs where GPA measures are not appropriate, may be deemed to have graduated with Second Class standing. REGULATION DEAN'S LIST Dean's List students will be sent congratulatory letters by their respective Deans and will have the notation "Dean's List" posted on their transcripts at the end of each term in which they have met the relevant performance standard. 1. In programs that follow the Academic/Career Technical/Developmental Programs grading system: a. Once final grades are posted for a semester, the Registrar's Office will generate a Dean's List from the student records system and will provide the names and addresses of Dean's List students to the respective Deans. b. Programs that have full-time loads comprising fewer than 15 credits may, subject to approval by the Education Planning and Program Review Committee (EPPR) of Senate, elect to follow the procedures set out in (I) 2 below. 2. In programs that follow Vocational Trades/Non-Trades Programs or Competency-Based grading systems or that qualify under provision (I) 1.b above using semester end grades, it will be the responsibility of the respective Dean, in consultation with relevant Chairs, to identify the top 10% students and to notify the Registrar’s Office of qualifying students at the end of each relevant program component. GRADUATION WITH RECOGNITION Students meeting the performance standards set out in this Policy will have the notation "Graduated with First Class Standing" or "Graduated with Second Class Standing", as appropriate, posted on their transcripts at the end of the respective program record. For the purposes of determining eligibility for graduation with First or Second Class standing, all program GPA’s will be calculated by dividing total grade points earned by total program credit attempts. For programs in which GPA’s do not provide appropriate indicators of program performance, it is the responsibility of the respective Dean, in consultation with relevant Chairs, to identify criteria and standards for graduation with First or Second Class standing and to file a statement of those criteria and standards with the EPPR. Once a student has been approved for graduation from a TRU program, it will be the responsibility of the respective Dean to notify the Registrar's Office if that student has qualified for graduation with First or Second Class standing. ED 4-0 Academic Appeals Thompson Rivers University (TRU) recognizes that although most students experience no concerns regarding their education, some students occasionally experience problems with the interpretations of TRU policy or procedures by TRU staff. TRU encourages students and staff to resolve academic issues through discussion. When resolution is not reached, students may bring forward for formal review, matters that have not been resolved to their satisfaction. The formal review process concludes with a decision that is final and binding upon all parties. TRU recognizes the right of students to appeal: 1. Decisions on final grades (an appeal on a decision on a grade other than a final grade requires consent of the relevant Dean); 2. Decisions on the application of Senate policies, procedures and regulations as they relate to student academic performance; and 3. Perceived unethical conduct by TRU staff or other students. Overview of the Appeal Process 1. In general, a student (the appellant) must complete the following steps to resolve an issue before they may initiate a formal appeal: a. 19 Attempt to resolve the issue with the person with whom the issue originated (the respondent); b. c. d. e. If the issue is not resolved, attempt to resolve the issue with the person at the next highest level of responsibility (normally a Department Chair for campus courses or the Director of Program Delivery for Open Learning courses); If still unresolved, attempt to resolve the issue with the Dean/Director Williams Lake; If the issue remains unresolved, then the student may commence a formal appeal in accordance with the formal appeal procedures set out in this policy. If you are choosing to initiate a formal appeal, you must follow the steps outlined on the Academic Appeals Form. Only completed forms will be processed. 2. Formal appeals must be submitted to the Manager, Student and Judicial Affairs in writing, together with the approved fee, within 30 days of the decision or action that is being appealed. The submissions must take the form of the fully completed Academic Appeal Form accompanied by a letter or e-mail which shall state the nature of the appeal and a suggested resolution. The appeal fee will be refunded if the appeal is upheld and will be forfeited if the appeal is denied. 3. Once the Manager, Student and Judicial Affairs has determined that the required steps set out above in section I(1) and (2) of the Regulations above have been followed, he/she will request that a Hearing Panel be convened. 4. A Hearing Panel is convened to hear the appeal. A decision is provided in writing by the Hearing Panel with the reason(s) for its decision which is binding on both parties. 5. Within 14 days of receiving a Hearing Panel decision, either the appellant or respondent may make a final appeal of the process followed to the President. Grounds for such appeals shall be limited to failure to follow the process set out in this Policy and Regulations. Should the President find that the Hearing Panel did not follow the process set out in this Policy and Regulations, a new Hearing Panel with new membership will be convened to hear the student’s appeal. ED 3-10 Academic Renewal The Academic Renewal policy allows a returning student to apply to the Registrar’s Office for academic forgiveness of the prior cumulative grade point average. The policy is designed for undergraduate students who have gained maturity outside of higher education and have demonstrated acceptable academic performance following their return. The Academic Renewal policy is subject to the following regulations. This policy applies to all campus based courses and programs and does not apply to students in programs of the Open Learning Division of Thompson Rivers University. 3. Having notified the department Chairperson verbally, the instructor will complete a class cancellation report within 24 hours of cancellation or return to work (whichever comes first) and forward it to the Chairperson who will send a copy to the Dean. REGULATIONS 1. Academic Renewal applies only to returning undergraduate students who had previously attempted 30 or fewer credits and have had an absence of at least three calendar years from any post-secondary institution (except to complete courses required for re-admission, if any). 2. Academic Renewal will affect the student’s cumulative grade point average in all courses taken prior to the minimum three year absence. Only courses with an original grade of C- or better may count towards program graduation requirements. In all cases, program requirements must be met. 3. A minimum of 12 credits of graded courses with a grade point average of at least 2.0 must be completed after returning before an Academic Renewal may be requested of the Registrar’s Office. For purposes of Academic Renewal, only credit (transcriptable) courses will be considered. With the approval of the Registrar or designate, the student will be granted Academic Renewal. The student’s transcript will remain a record of all coursework completed. Courses taken prior to the three or more year absence will not be used in computing cumulative grade point average. The transcript will have “Academic Renewal” noted on it at the end of the last semester counting towards the Academic Renewal. Note: Academic Renewal is a policy of Thompson Rivers University (TRU) and may not be recognized by outside agencies or other institutions. . ADM 2-2 Confidentiality of Student Information Thompson Rivers University (TRU) regards the information contained in a student's permanent record as personal and private. Information of a personal nature that a student discloses to any TRU staff member is also considered private and confidential. Therefore, no personal information about a student will be released except in the following circumstances: • to the student (including medical files) upon providing reasonable notice • with the written authorization of the student; • to a student's sponsoring agency only upon receipt of a written waiver signed by the student; • in response to a court order; • to government departments for the purpose of statistical analysis and research, provided there is an assurance of anonymity; As well, employees should not discuss confidential student matters in such a way or location as to be overheard by other staff or students. STUDENT DIRECTORY A student's name, address and telephone number will be included in a student directory unless the student selects confidentiality on the application for admission form.

GENERAL BRD 14-0 Cancellation of Classes The Board of Governors believes that the instructional process is extremely important and views the unnecessary cancellation of classes as a very serious matter. In general, no cancellation of classes or any scheduled instructional activity should occur unless covered by relevant clauses in the current collective agreement or by policy governing leave. The only exceptions are where circumstances beyond the control of an instructor make it imperative that such a scheduled instructional activity be cancelled. REGULATIONS If an instructor must cancel any scheduled instructional activity (e.g. class, lecture, seminar, lab, etc.) these steps will be followed in all cases: 1. The instructor will notify the relevant department Chairperson and/or secretary or designate as soon as it becomes apparent he or she must cancel the scheduled instructional activity. Notification may be done in person or by telephone or e-mail. Where the Chairperson is not immediately available, a message for the Chairperson left with the department secretary or designate will be considered acceptable notice. 2. Students should be notified of the class cancellation. 20 The Registrar is responsible and accountable for the administration of all student records retained by TRU except interim statements of grades and other interim student evaluations which may be held by individual instructors, departmental chairpersons and other university staff. Official transcripts are to be issued in a sealed envelope by the Registrar's Office upon payment of a fee determined by TRU policy. The official transcript and any certificate or diploma issued by the university constitutes the only official statement made regarding students. ACCESS TO STUDENT RECORDS In general, only the Registrar and staff of the Registrar's office have unrestricted access to all student records, having according accountability. Other TRU staff may inspect student records if they have a legitimate need for specific information in order to carry out their responsibilities. MEDICAL RECORDS Student medical records are submitted to and maintained by the Occupational Health Office. Medical information is not released without appropriate approvals as described below. Specific medical information may be released by the student, or by the Occupational Health Office to deans, chairpersons, instructors, or counsellors for students within their jurisdiction: • upon written consent provided by the student to the Occupational Health Office; or • in cases where the student's condition may be a threat to public safety. The Occupational Health Office will advise, by letter or in person, all students with medical conditions which have the potential to be life threatening. The notification will: • outline the benefits of the student advising faculty of their condition; and • make available a "release of information" document for the student to give consent for the Occupational Health Office to release specific medical information to the chairperson or instructor of the specific department concerned. TRANSCRIPTS Transcripts of grades will be released: • to a student only upon written request by that student; • to a third party on behalf of a student only upon written approval by the student concerned; • to TRU staff who require the transcript to do their job. REQUEST TO LOCATE A STUDENT All requests are to be referred only to the Occupational Health Office during work hours or to security after hours. Under What Circumstances When there is either a phone or personal request to locate a student, the request is responded to at the discretion of the Occupational Health Officer. Generally, there are four circumstances when an attempt is always made to locate a student. These are: • in the event of a family medical emergency (e.g. death, serious illness, accident); or • when the health or well-being of a student's child is affected; or • when the RCMP present an arrest warrant; or • in emergency cases, to pass a message to a student to contact the R.C.M.P., sheriff or other appropriate government agencies. The inquiring individual will be advised that the student has been given the message, or was unable to be located. It is always explained that a student will be located only if they are physically present in class. If the student does not have a class, or is not present, location is not possible. Method If the message is urgent, the Occupational Health Officer will interrupt a class by: • knocking on the door and excusing for the interruption; • ask if the student is in the class; • give the message to the student or in certain cases, e.g. writing an exam, leave message with the instructor to have the student visit the Occupational Health Officer for the message. 21 If there is an in-person request to locate a student in an emergency, the requesting person will normally accompany the Occupational Health Officer, and the above point (3) followed. The accompanying person is normally asked to stand in such a location so that they could not be seen when the door is opened. REQUEST FOR STUDENT INFORMATION TRU regards the information contained in a student's permanent record as personal and confidential. Students are requested at the time of registration to indicate on the application for admission form (public/private) whether student directory information (name, address, phone number) may be released in the circumstances indicated below. Private External Inquiries: If the student indicates "private" then no information is to be released about the student without the student's written consent or a court order. Internal TRU Staff Inquiries: Student information may be released to TRU staff only in cases where the staff member needs it to do her/his job. Public External Inquiries: If the student indicates "public" on the application for admission, then the following information may be given out: 1. confirmation of enrolment only (no addresses, phone numbers or other information) will be given to general inquiries, bailiffs, lawyers, financial institutions and the like; • a copy of the student directory to the TRU Students Union for their election purposes; • to RCMP, unemployment insurance, and other government agencies: name, address and phone number only. (No course grade information will be released unless written consent of the student is provided.) • All other information about a student may only be released with either a student's written consent or a court order. Internal TRU Staff Inquiries: Student information may be released to TRU staff only in cases where the staff member needs it to do her/his job. ED 17-0 Convocation The university holds Convocation ceremonies in June and October of each year, and students who have completed all requirements for graduation in an undergraduate, graduate, or university preparation program are eligible to participate in the ceremony. REGULATIONS • • Eligibility of Students to participate in the Convocation ceremony The student must be associated with a senate-approved certificate, diploma, or degree at the undergraduate, graduate or university preparation level. • • • • • The student must have successfully completed all program requirements, including practicum assignments and field schools. Instructors must have submitted all marks for program courses to the Office of the Registrar at least five weeks prior to the Convocation ceremony. All transfer credit and Prior Learning Assessment (PLAR) must be recorded by the deadline to have marks submitted. Students who have any outstanding financial obligation to TRU at the point of program completion will not be permitted to graduate nor attend Convocation. Students will have the opportunity to attend the next scheduled Convocation once they have successfully completed all program requirements and the approval for eligibility to graduate has been received in the Office of the Registrar by the deadlines stated below. Eligibility of Programs to participate in the Convocation ceremony All programs that are Senate-approved leading to a certificate, diploma or degree will be eligible for approval to participate in Convocation ceremonies. A student who has received a bachelor's degree and returns to complete only the requirements of the honours program in the same field as in the original degree, or the requirements in another major or honours field in the same degree, will not receive the degree again, nor a notation on the original parchment, nor be eligible to attend the Convocation ceremony. Application for Convocation Students must apply for graduation and attendance at Convocation by completing and submitting the appropriate form(s). The deadline for submitting an application to graduate and attend Convocation is March 31 for the June ceremony and July 31 for the October ceremony. The name on the diploma will appear exactly as reflected in the University’s official records. Individuals requesting a change of name on the parchment must submit original or notarized documentation to support a legal change of name and it must be submitted to the Office of the Registrar with or before the application to graduate and/or attend the Convocation ceremony. This includes the addition of a middle name. Deadlines for Mark Submission and Program Requirement Completion to be eligible for inclusion in the Convocation ceremony All course marks and credential requirements must be recorded as successfully completed at least five weeks prior to the Convocation ceremony. Deans and Program Advisors must approve students’ eligibility to graduate at least four weeks before the Convocation ceremony. In cases where approval for eligibility to graduate is received by the Office of the Registrar after the deadlines for Convocation, the student can request to participate in a subsequent Convocation ceremony within 12 months of the date of the approval of their eligibility to graduate. Credentials will be sent to the mailing address on file if all University financial obligations are satisfied. If a student has outstanding financial obligations to TRU, the credential and transcripts 22 will not be released. When this occurs the student must contact the Office of the Registrar directly indicating when these obligations have been satisfied. Notification Procedures for Program Participation in the Convocation ceremony For new programs leading to credentials approved by senate, The Office of the Registrar will determine which ceremony the graduates will attend and notify the appropriate Dean’s Office of the date and time. All related deadlines for Convocation will be applied to all programs. ED 3-3 Course and Program Repeaters In order to ensure maximum student success and the responsible use of program and course resources, Thompson Rivers University (TRU) may set limits on the number of times students may attempt a TRU course, or program, where academic records indicate that little chance of success exists. REGULATIONS COURSE REPEATERS Subject to the policies and/or criteria of each program, any student may repeat a given course one time. A student wishing to enroll in the same course for a third or subsequent time will be permitted to register only upon presentation of written approval from the Chair of the department offering the course. PROGRAM REPEATERS Over and above the requirements of Policy ED 3-2, program policies may establish semester or cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) requirements for repeat and/or continuation. Such continuation and promotion policies are subject to the approval of the Provost & VicePresident, Academic. Students who fail to achieve this minimum GPA, or who receive a cumulative GPA sufficiently low that in the opinion of the Provost & Vice-President, Academic, they have little or no chance of success in the program, may be required by the Registrar to withdraw from TRU for a period of one semester. ADMISSION PRIORITY OF REPEATING STUDENTS I or II above notwithstanding, in certain programs repeating students will be admitted only if space is available once new applicants have been admitted. Procedures concerning this must be approved by the Provost & Vice-President, Academic, and individual admission decisions will be made by the Registrar. ED 3-6 Course Conflicts Attendance in class is accepted as a key element in academic success of courses. Thompson Rivers University (TRU) Policy ED 3-1 Student Attendance supports this. Students are not permitted to schedule lecture sections of courses that conflict without written approval of the instructor of each course. Laboratory and seminar sections that conflict with other courses may be scheduled and must be resolved by the last day to add a course. Should a student register with a conflict, the student may be required to withdraw from the course. ED 8-3 Course Outlines Course outlines are a contract between Thompson Rivers University (TRU) and the student. As such, TRU will ensure that the contract is clear and adhered to by TRU staff and students. For campus-based courses, the instructor responsible for teaching a transcriptable course will develop a course outline and submit it to the relevant chairperson prior to commencement of instruction. Once the course outline is approved, it is the responsibility of the instructor to distribute it at the commencement of the course and to teach the course as described in the outline. For Open Learning courses, the course outline is developed during the course development process by the Open Learning Course Planning Team, which includes subject matter expert(s), an instructional designer, and a program coordinator or an academic director. All course outlines are available online. Because of the diversity of courses and delivery methodologies, course outlines may vary in the amount of detail they may contain, but all shall contain the following: 1. A masthead identifying Thompson Rivers University, the Division/Faculty/School, the semester (for campus-based courses), the course acronym and number. 2. Course outlines shall also contain the name of the department, the instructor, and the instructor’s contact information. Open Learning may provide this information through alternative means. 3. The course title, number and credit assignment (if any). 4. The vectoring or contact hours of the course (unless there are no contact hours). 5. Calendar description (a brief description, as it appears in the calendar). Cross-list if appropriate. 6. Course description (optional). When appropriate, faculty should give a more detailed description of the course content than is given in the calendar description. 7. The educational objectives of the course. 8. Prerequisites (if any). 9. Corequisites (if any). 10. A list of required texts and materials/activities entailing costs to students. 11. A brief description of the means (assignments, examinations, tests, quizzes or other forms of student evaluation) by which student performance will be evaluated, and the percentage of the final mark assigned to each evaluation component. 12. A reasonable list of the topics covered in the course. (This may include a detailed list of assigned and recommended readings to be covered.) 13. Special course activities, e.g. field trips, practicum, work experience (if any). 14. Methods for Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (if any). 15. Use of technology (if any). In courses which have more than one section, TRU recognizes that the same educational objectives can be achieved in many ways. It is the responsibility of departmental chairpersons, or program 23 coordinator/academic director (for Open Learning courses), to ensure that comparison of curricula, teaching techniques and methods of evaluating students is undertaken on a regular basis so that appropriate differences can be recognized while ensuring that uniform and equitable standards are maintained. Once an outline has received final approval from the chairperson (for campus based courses) or from the program coordinator/academic director (for Open Learning courses) to ensure that this and all other relevant TRU policies are satisfied, the Department/Open Learning Division will store an electronic copy. In the event of an academic appeal by a student, the course outline shall be provided to the Appeal Committee by the Department/Open Learning Division. ED 8-1 Credit and Non-Credit Courses All Thompson Rivers University (TRU) courses fall into one of two categories: credit or non-credit. These are defined as follows: CREDIT COURSES TRU courses which carry credit towards a TRU certificate, diploma, or degree are known as credit courses. Credit courses are listed in the Calendar, and registration in such courses is open to suitably qualified members of the general public. Enrolment into credit courses requires prior acceptance into a TRU program or the permission of the instructor. Curriculum content and academic standards are defined for all credit courses, and students receive a final grade based on their performance and determined according to Policy ED 8-0 (unless the student has registered as an audit student). Students are issued TRU transcripts to document their achievement in credit courses. On successful completion of a program, students may apply for a Certificate, Diploma, or Degree. The offering of credit courses, together with their curriculum and academic standards, is subject to the approval of the Vice-President, Academic and University Council. NON-CREDIT COURSES TRU offers short non-credit courses in a wide variety of subjects. Registration in such courses is open to the general public. Completion of a non-credit course may lead to a Certificate of Completion, but academic standards are not normally defined. Non-credit courses do not satisfy prerequisite requirements for credit programs. Occasionally certification for a non-credit course may be provided by an external agency (as in the case of first-aid training, for example). However, TRU transcripts are not issued, nor do non- credit courses lead to TRU certificates, diplomas, or degrees. ED 7-0 Suspension of Students It is assumed that students enroll at the University out of an interest in furthering their education. Accordingly it is expected that students will conduct themselves towards University staff, fellow students and members of the University community in a manner consistent with the goals and professional demeanor of an educational institution. This includes demonstrating a respect for legitimate rights and freedoms of others. In the event the University considers students’ conduct to be inconsistent with this expectation, or considers that students are not appropriately dedicated to the furthering of their own education, they may be suspended for a set period or indefinitely 6. The requirements of specific degree programs may include the approval of the affiliated university as well as TRU approval. 7. Students must register for Directed Studies/Service Learning/Research Learning Courses following the usual registration procedures by providing a copy of the written approval form at registration. 8. Supervising faculty members will submit a grade to the Registrar's Office upon completion of the course. REGULATIONS The President may suspend a student for unsatisfactory conduct, for failure to abide by University regulations and/or policies, or for consistent failure to demonstrate adequate effort in the pursuit of educational progress. A student may appeal a suspension imposed by the President to Senate. ED 2-2 Directed Studies, Service Learning and Research Learning Courses Thompson Rivers University (TRU) recognizes that students may request permission to take individually supervised studies (directed studies courses) as part of a program leading to a certificate, diploma or degree. Such courses are intended to provide students with an opportunity beyond the usual curriculum to investigate or work on specific topics and projects related to their program of studies. Programs offering directed studies/service learning/research learning courses must have TRU educational approval to offer such courses as outlined in Policy and Regulations ED 8-2. As well, directed studies courses must comply with Policy and Regulations ED 8-0. Before registering for directed studies/service learning/research learning courses, students must have the written approval of a faculty supervisor, Department Chair and Dean, and, where applicable, a designated individual at the affiliated university. REGULATIONS 1. Students must have the agreement of a TRU faculty member to supervise the individualized/group learning project. 2. After consulting with the proposed faculty supervisor, students must submit a description of the course or project on the approved form to the Department Chair for approval. This material must then be forwarded to the Dean for his or her approval. 3. The description of the course or project will include a topic or project title, a list of learning objectives, major content or task areas, a list of resources to be used (texts, bibliography, etc.), evaluation techniques, a supervision schedule, a start date, and a completion date. 4. Approval will be granted when the proposed study meets the usual academic requirements (breadth, depth, rigour) for a course at the specified level in the program (e.g. third year course in the specific degree program). 5. Programs and departments may determine specific eligibility requirements (e.g. minimum GPA, fourth year standing) for directed studies courses in their area. 24 ED 16-1 Double Programs - Degrees and Diplomas Thompson Rivers University (TRU) supports multidisciplinary education, including double diplomas and double degrees. To maintain TRU's academic standards, graduation requirements for any double programs must at least equal the minimum graduation requirements of the individual programs. No special consideration or exemption will be given to students enrolled in multiple programs. REGULATIONS 1. The course structure for double programs must meet the normal university requirements in respect to courses and the number of credits of each program. 2. A program and course advisory committee will be formed from both disciplines to provide direction on scheduling, implementation, disciplinary standards and follow up on student success. 3. For purposes of advising, students are encouraged to declare, as early as possible, their intention to do a double program. 4. Permission to pursue double degrees or double diplomas must be obtained from the appropriate Deans or designates. 5. Students in double programs shall be eligible on an equal basis for scholarships, prizes and awards as may be available from either or both of the disciplines. 6. Graduating double program students will receive two degrees or diplomas, one for each of the discipline programs. The degrees awarded to double degree graduates will not differ from those awarded to graduates of the corresponding single degree programs in the disciplines concerned. 7. A minimum of 15 additional credits will be required for a double diploma program. 8. A minimum of 30 additional credits will be required for a double degree program. ED 8-0 Educational Standards in Credit Courses & Programs Curriculum content and educational standards are established for all credit courses, and students receive a final grade based on their performance, determined according to policy ED 3-5, Grading Systems (unless they have registered as an audit student). Students are issued transcripts to document their achievement in credit courses. On successful completion of a program, students may apply for a certificate, diploma, associate degree, baccalaureate degree, or master’s degree. Credits serve as a form of academic currency in post-secondary institutions. They are designed to measure the duration, breadth and depth of study toward a specific program goal. The purpose of this policy is to provide common standards at Thompson Rivers University (TRU) for defining the number of credits a course should attract within the context of a specific program of study. REGULATIONS GENERAL 1. A certificate will be awarded for the successful completion of a program less than 46 credits of study, or equivalent. A diploma will be awarded for the successful completion of a program of 46– 119 credits of study. An associate degree will be awarded for the successful completion of a program which is equal to or greater than 60 credits of study. A baccalaureate degree will be awarded for the successful completion of a program that is equal to or greater than 120 credits of study. Post-baccalaureate certificates will be awarded for the successful completion of a baccalaureate degree and up to 30 additional credits of study. A postbaccalaureate diploma will be awarded for the successful completion of a baccalaureate degree plus 31 credits or more of study. A masters’ degree will be awarded for the successful completion of a baccalaureate degree or the equivalent plus a minimum of 24 graduate credits. 2. To be eligible for a credential, a student must normally complete all courses within a period designated by the relevant program. 3. The criteria for the awarding of credentials are subject to the approval of the Vice-President, Academic, following advice from Senate. 4. When these criteria change, the criteria that apply to a particular student shall be those in effect when the student was admitted to the program. RESIDENCE REQUIREMENTS At least 50% of a program’s requirement must be completed through TRU. TRANSFER CREDIT TRU encourages the recognition of credit for courses taught at other institutions. GUIDELINES: 1. Comparison of course curriculum forms the basis for considering credit recognition at TRU. 2. Courses accepted by any two B.C. public universities and/or university colleges or institutes should be accepted by equivalent TRU programs. 3. Specific credit will be given for courses with a minimum 80% match in content and similar entrance requirements. 4. Credit may be given only for courses receiving a passing grade from the granting institution. For the full regulations visit at www.tru.ca/policy/allpolicy ED 3-9 Examinations 25 In order to ensure the credibility of TRU degrees it is critical that all TRU exam assessments occur within a structured and secure environment 1. 'Mid-term examinations' are exams held during the instructional portion of the semester, whereas 'final examinations' are those exams held in the formally scheduled examination period which occurs at the end of each semester. 2. Students are responsible for checking the final examination schedule which shall be posted each semester by the Registrar, and for advising the Registrar of any conflicts within the schedule. Attendance at a scheduled final examination is mandatory, and the onus is on the student to seek remedy for a missed final exam. 3. In general, only illness and domestic affliction will be considered as valid reasons for a missed final exam. In cases where, in the judgment of the Registrar, other circumstances clearly beyond the control of the student have led to a missed final exam, consideration may also be granted. REGULATIONS EXAMINATIONS 1. Mid-term examinations shall be given only in class times as described in the course schedules and shall not exceed the times assigned for each class unless otherwise mutually agreed with the instructor and students. 2. No single mid-term examination shall exceed 30% of the final grade. 3. In the last week of instruction, no course may include an examination which makes up more than 15% of the student's final grade, with the exception of laboratory examinations. 4. A meaningful proportion of course evaluation must be provided to the student prior to the last day to withdraw from a course in each semester. 5. Final examinations shall not exceed 50% of the final grade. 6. Students who are registered with the Disability Services Department with a documented disability and require examination accommodation must contact Disability Services a minimum of two weeks prior to the exam date for mid-tem examinations, and a minimum of three weeks prior to the last day of classes (see the TRU calendar for dates) for both the fall and winter final examinations. SCHEDULING OF FINAL EXAMINATIONS, SEMESTERIZED COURSES 1. Final examinations in semesterized courses that make up more than 15% of the final grade shall be scheduled only during the prescribed final examination period. The final exam period shall commence no sooner than 48 hours after the last day of classes. 2. Final examinations in semesterized courses shall be scheduled according to the following general principles: a. Exams shall be scheduled to spread the students’ exams over the entire exam schedule to provide students with a maximum amount of study time and to provide for the efficient use of the time and space resources available for exam scheduling. b. No student will be scheduled so that two exams occur in the same exam session. c. No student will be scheduled with three exams in the same calendar day. 3. The general principles will be implemented according to the following operational guidelines: a. Faculty with Dean-approved academic activity that cannot be accomplished outside of the exam period shall be accommodated so long as the General Principles are met. b. Faculty with medical circumstances beyond their control that occur during the exam schedule shall be accommodated as long as the General Principles are met. c. Faculty requesting common exams for all or some sections of a course shall be accommodated where practical and as long as the General Principles are met. STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN THE EVENT OF A MISSED MID-TERM EXAMINATION In the event a student misses a mid-term examination, the student should: 1. Contact the instructor prior to the exam, if at all possible, informing the instructor of the particular situation and attempt to reschedule the exam or arrive at another mutually acceptable solution. 2. Inform the instructor as soon after the missed mid-term examination as possible and attempt to devise a mutually acceptable resolution. Generally, domestic affliction or illness will be accepted as reasons to miss a mid-term examination; however, instructors have latitude to accept other legitimate reasons. STEPS TO BE TAKEN IN THE EVENT OF A MISSED FINAL EXAMINATION 1. In the event that a student misses a final examination for illness or domestic affliction and wishes to seek a remedy, the student shall report this fact to the instructor within two working days from the date of the scheduled final exam, if s/he wishes to seek a remedy. 2. In the event that a student received prior information that illness or domestic affliction will result in a missed final examination, the student should inform the Registrar immediately. 3. In any case in which a student claims that circumstances beyond the student's control have caused the student to miss all or part of a final examination or to miss the deadline for requesting a remedy for a missed final examination, the student shall report these circumstances, in writing, to the Registrar as soon as possible after their occurrence. 4. In all cases in which a student seeks remedy for missed final examinations, the Registrar may require a medical certificate or other substantiating documents by way of validation. When, in the judgment of the Registrar, the student's reason is invalid, the student shall be refused any further remedy. The Registrar's decision may be appealed under the Appeals Policy, 5. Upon receipt of a valid reason for a missed final examination, the Registrar shall notify the Department concerned that an application for remedy has been made. 6. In consultation with the instructor and Department Chair, the Registrar will either: a. Arrange for a suitable final examination which shall be provided and marked by the appropriate instructional department; or b. In exceptional circumstances and after due consultation with the instructor and Department Chair, grant the 26 student a standing in, and full credit for, the course based on the student's achievement. Faculty Office Hours ADM 14-1 Because being available for consultation with students is an important part of an instructor's responsibilities, Faculty shall be available for consultation on a regular basis outside of scheduled instructional hours. Full-time faculty in academic and career/technical programs are required to schedule at least five office hours per week, scheduled over a minimum of three days. Part-time faculty is required to schedule office hours prorated according to their teaching assignments. When evening courses are part of an instructor's assignment, one office hour should be scheduled in the evening. It is recommended that this office hour be held during the hour prior to the start of the evening class. Each instructor will provide the departmental secretaries with a copy of his or her timetable showing assigned class time and office hours. A copy of this timetable should be posted outside the instructor's office. Faculty should also clearly notify students of scheduled office hours in course outlines or in class. If a student's timetable conflicts with the instructor's scheduled office hours, it is expected that the instructor will accommodate the student's needs for consultation at a mutually agreeable time. If an instructor cannot be present during office hours, he or she should make reasonable efforts to inform students. ED 2-0 Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition Thompson Rivers University (TRU) recognizes that adult learners acquire knowledge and skills through life and work experience. Through Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR), TRU will assess this knowledge and skills and grant credit/recognition for the learning that has taken place. PLAR is the 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 may have been acquired through, but not limited to, work experience, independent reading, hobbies, volunteer work, non-formal learning, travel and artistic pursuits. The assessment and evaluation of prior learning and the determination of competency and credit awarded, will be done by instructional or faculty staff who have the appropriate subject matter expertise but other staff in an institution may have a supporting role in the process. The work required for PLAR includes, but is not limited to: classroombased and individual advising; classroom-based and individual assessment, training and upgrading; development of assessment tools; and, training in the use of flexible assessment. TRU accepts credit earned through PLAR (as transfer credit) from all 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. Such transfer credit is applied in the context of TRU course and program requirements. REGULATIONS TRU offers candidates several methods of documenting and demonstrating that they have achieved an appropriate level of prior learning. No single PLAR method is best for all situations. With the help of a PLAR Facilitator, methods should be selected to suit the unique needs of the particular situation. TRU will award credit or equivalent recognition only for prior learning which is appropriately documented or demonstrated and which is at an appropriate level. PLAR is a process which challenges learners to claim and articulate their knowledge, skills, abilities, and values based on documentation that describes learning or provides evidence of learning. PLAR FACILITATOR For students enrolled in TRU Campus programs, the PLAR Facilitator acts as the contact person at TRU for PLAR inquiries, offers orientation seminars, portfolio preparation courses and other PLAR related courses, and acts as liaison between the Assessor(s) and the learner. For students enrolled in TRU – OL programs, the Director, PLAR acts as the contact person for PLAR inquiries, offers orientation seminars, portfolio preparation courses and other PLAR related courses, and acts as liaison between the Assessor(s) and the learner. PLAR ASSESSOR Prior learning will be assessed by qualified specialists, approved by the relevant department/ program or TRU-OL Academic Director/Program coordinators, who have expertise in the area to be assessed and training in appropriate assessment methods for PLAR. Assessors will be responsible for ensuring that the documentation provided by the learner supports the claim for credit/ recognition. If the Assessor believes that the knowledge the learner has demonstrated is sufficient and appropriate, credit/ recognition will be granted. The PLAR Facilitator or the Director, PLAR will work with assessors with content expertise to develop appropriate assessment methods and/or provide training to content experts in how to conduct PLAR assessments. DOCUMENTATION AND DEMONSTRATION OF ACHIEVEMENT Evidence: All PLAR requires evidence. The learner has the primary responsibility for preparing the evidence that learning has taken place and that it contributes to an appropriate balance of theory and practical application. Tangible proof of competence can be provided through documentation of accomplishments or demonstration of skill and knowledge. Depending on the subject area, certain types of documentation or demonstration are more useful than others. Examinations: The purpose of exams is to measure knowledge of the content of, or the achievement of, the learning outcomes that are equivalent to those of a specific course. 27 • • Challenge exams are created for students who have not attended the course but who wish to demonstrate that they have achieved the course outcomes. Challenge exams are designed by a course instructor or Open Learning Faculty member. Standardized exams are prepared by national organizations, such as the College Level Examination Program (CLEP), are applicable to a large population, and measure a specific level of achievement in a specific subject. Equivalencies: Course equivalencies are awarded to learners who have completed and been evaluated in programs, professional licenses, or professional certificates outside of the college or university system. These non-formal programs and credentials are evaluated by TRU and credit may be granted if the program or credential meets the assessment criteria. Portfolios: Portfolios summarize the learning gained from non-formal learning experiences. It is a collection of information that demonstrates the depth and breadth of what the learner knows and/or can do. A portfolio can be used as a "stand alone" or in combination with other methods of assessment. It provides evidence of learning. A portfolio is generally compiled and organized in a binder for assessment. ELIGIBILITY 1. A learner requesting PLAR must normally be admitted to a TRU or TRU-OL program before the PLAR process will be commenced. 2. PLAR can be used to accumulate credit in programs or to satisfy admission requirements to certain programs upon approval by the appropriate department chair or TRU-OL Program Director. 3. PLAR can be used to satisfy residency requirements for TRU— OL. CONDITIONS 1. Credits granted for prior learning towards a specific program at TRU can be transferred to other programs at TRU where specific transfer credit exists. 2. Credits granted for prior learning at TRU may not always be transferable to other institutions. It is the responsibility of the learner to determine transferability. 3. For programs offered on the TRU campus, a maximum of twenty-five (25%) of the credits required in a program will be awarded for prior learning. For programs offered through TRUOL, Planning Council for Open Learning will establish the proportion of each credential that can be gained through PLAR. 4. Not all courses are eligible for PLAR; eligibility will be determined by the appropriate department or Open Learning Academic Director. 5. Credit awarded through PLAR will be monitored to avoid awarding credit more than once for the same learning in a course/program, 6. A successful PLAR will apply only to the designated course and will not constitute a successful PLAR of any prerequisites to that course. 7. PLAR will not normally be granted for a course previously transcripted without the special permission of the department and without reasonable evidence of the acquisition of new knowledge. 8. Transcripts reflect the course being granted credit with a grade of S, which will count as credits attempted and taken, but not for GPA calculations. 9. If a Request for PLAR is unsuccessful, there will be no listing on the transcript. 10. Learners who receive an unfavourable decision from the Assessor will have access to TRU's appeal process. 11. Students are advised to consult with the Financial Aid office regarding any impacts enrollment in PLAR courses may have on eligibility for student aid. FEES PLAR assessments are done on a cost-recovery basis. The cost of PLAR will be based on the services performed in the assessment process and the number of credits requested. For assessment of PLAR for an individual course, this cost will not be more than the course fee charged as defined by the tuition fee schedule. Students are responsible for all associated costs involved with PLAR which may include long-distance phone calls to an assessor, travel to an assessment site and/or mailing a portfolio to an assessor. All fees are non-refundable. ED 3-2 Satisfactory Academic Progress Satisfactory academic progress shall be defined as the achievement of grades which permit a student to move to the next highest level of academic studies. Although minimum satisfactory achievement is a 1.00 grade point value in a particular course, a student is expected to maintain a minimum Grade Point Average (GPA) of 1.50. Academic probation is a warning to a student that academic progress has not been satisfactory and that subsequent non-performance may result in other forms of academic restrictions. GENERAL All students who enter Thompson Rivers University (TRU) are expected to maintain acceptable standards of academic performance. Should a student fall below acceptable performance, the following policy will apply: A student shall be placed on academic probation in the next semester attended when the semester or cumulative GPA falls below 1.50 on two or more credit courses. Upon approval by the Vice-President Academic, individual departments may set higher minimum academic standards which take precedence over TRU-wide standards. If at the end of the probation period: • the GPA on assigned grades during the probation period and the cumulative GPA are 1.50 or higher, the student will be considered to be in good academic standing; • the GPA on assigned grades during the probation period is 1.50 or higher but the cumulative GPA is less than 1.50, the student will continue on academic probation; • the GPA on assigned grades during the probation period is less than 1.50, but the cumulative GPA is 1.50 or higher, the student will continue on academic probation; • both the GPA on assigned grades during the probation period and the cumulative GPA are less than 1.50, the student will be 28 required to withdraw for at least one of a Fall or Winter semester. A student who is required to withdraw may reapply for admission at the end of one semester's absence. Upon re-admission the student will be placed on academic probation subject to the academic probation terms above. However, at the end of the probation period, if both the cumulative GPA and the GPA for assigned grades during the probation period are below 1.50, the student will be required to withdraw and re-admission will not be considered for the period of two calendar years. ATHLETIC ELIGIBILITY For the purposes of extracurricular athletic activity, a student should maintain a minimum GPA of 2.00. If the GPA falls below 2.00, the student will be warned of the situation, and should the GPA fall below 1.50, the athlete will be placed on academic probation and will be unable to participate in athletic events, but may be allowed to attend practice. The athlete will be allowed to participate in athletic events only after the GPA is raised to 1.50 or better. FINANCIAL AID Student Aid BC requires that students "must progress to the next level of a program of study" (Ch. 7 Sec. 1 of SABC Policy Manual), and have passed 60% of a full course load. A student will not be eligible for non-repayable funds or BC Loan Reduction if the student does not successfully complete 60% of a full course load and achieve a GPA of 1.50. BRD 10-0 Services for Students with Disabilities Thompson Rivers University (TRU) acknowledges its obligation to provide academic accommodations to ensure an accessible and inclusive educational environment to the point of undue hardship for all students with disabilities. TRU is committed to providing services and reasonable academic accommodations for students with diagnosed disabilities in a manner that is consistent with its educational mandate, academic principles and legal obligations. TRU’s objective is to provide students with disabilities the same rights, responsibilities, opportunities and respect as all other learners, enabling them to integrate into the university environment and achieve their potential for success as self-directed, independent learners. This objective will be accomplished by providing direct support services and by reducing the physical, attitudinal and systemic barriers faced by students with disabilities. Through its Department of Disability Services, TRU will assist students with disabilities who self-identify and seek academic accommodations and/or services. While the University as a whole will strive to provide appropriate and reasonable accommodations, students with disabilities are nevertheless responsible for meeting their course and program requirements. See the regulations and procedures online at www.tru.ca/policy/allpolicy ED 3-1 Student Attendance Thompson Rivers University (TRU) recognizes the importance of student attendance and participation to success in his or her course or program of study. Students must ensure the accuracy of their registration status. REGULATIONS ATTENDANCE AT THE START OF A COURSE OR PROGRAM 1. Attendance at the Start of a Course A registered student is expected to attend the first class for each course in which he or she is registered. A registered student who does not attend the first two days of class and who has not made prior arrangements acceptable to the instructor may, at the discretion of the instructor, be considered to have withdrawn from the course and his/her course registration may be deleted. The seat may be reassigned. 2. Attendance at the Start of a Limited Enrolment Program A student enrolled in a limited enrolment program is expected to attend the first day of class for each course in the program. A student who is absent for the first two days of a limited enrolment program will be considered to have withdrawn from the program and his/her program registration will be deleted. The student’s seat may be assigned to a waitlisted student at the discretion of the Department Chair or designate. GENERAL ATTENDANCE DURING A COURSE OR PROGRAM 1. A student is expected to regularly attend lectures, laboratories, tutorial and seminar sessions for which they are enrolled. Admission to a lecture, laboratory, tutorial or seminar may be refused by the instructor for lateness, class misconduct or failure to complete required work. 2. Unless otherwise stated, a student will be expected to attend a minimum of 90% of class or lab time allocated to each course. However, due to the wide variety and diverse nature of courses and programs at TRU, individual departments or programs may set their own attendance requirements which will supersede the 90% requirement. 3. A student is expected to attend the first day of class of his or her course or program to receive a course outline which will include attendance requirements if different from the 90% requirement. 4. In the case of deficient attendance without cause, a student may, on recommendation of the instructor and with the sanction of the instructor’s Dean or Chairperson, be withdrawn from a course. TRU’s withdrawal policy (ED 3-0) will apply. ED 2-4 Transferability of University Credits PAN CANADIAN PROTOCOL Thompson Rivers University (TRU) supports the principles and objectives governing the Pan- Canadian Protocol on the Transferability of University Credits, as set out below: 29 TRU will recognize, and will credit toward its degrees, all relevant course work completed by transfer students during the first two years of university study in Canada (including University Transfer credits in British Columbia and final year credits toward a Diploma of College Studies in Quebec) provided that: • The transfer student is deemed admissible and has been presented with an offer of admission; • The transfer student has achieved a passing grade in his/her course(s) and has obtained grade levels that normally would be required of continuing studies; and • The credits earned at other institutions are related to the program of study in which the transfer student will register, or can be counted as electives for that program. Acceptance of the Protocol does not limit the academic autonomy of TRU. • The Protocol does not limit the policies and practices used by TRU or its programs in deciding on the admissibility of students who apply for admission with transfer credit. • Acceptance of the Protocol does not limit TRU's right to determine admission requirements, program design, content and delivery, to determine academic prerequisites, or to establish certification requirements for approval of transfers. ASSOCIATE DEGREES TRU guarantees sixty (60) credits will be awarded on transfer to TRU to holders of an Associate of Arts Degree or Associate of Science Degree awarded by a BC College or University College. Students must still fulfill all first and second year requirements of their Bachelor's degree not already completed as part of their Associate Degree. The requirements for an Associate Degree are contained in the Regulations of TRU Policy BRD 16-0, Types of Degrees, and are as defined by the B.C. Council of Admissions and Transfer. REGULATIONS The Faculty/Division/School responsible for each TRU degree program will ensure that the respective policies and procedures for those programs are consistent with the Protocol's principles and objectives. ED 1-3 Visiting Student Status In recognition of the resulting opportunities to enhance the breadth and depth of their studies, students enrolled in programs at Thompson Rivers University (TRU) may be approved to undertake study as “Visiting Students” at other post-secondary institutions. Students from other institutions may be permitted to enroll in TRU courses if they meet relevant TRU course and program requirements. Visiting students at TRU should obtain appropriate permission from their home institutions to ensure that credit for TRU work is accepted at those institutions. REGULATIONS TRU students who wish to enroll at other institutions must obtain, in advance, a "Letter of Permission" from their Program Advisor, or their Dean if the program does not have a program advisor, if they wish to guarantee those courses to receive credit towards a TRU program. This permission is subject to established TRU program requirements. Each Visiting Student must arrange to have the Registrar at the other institution send an official transcript of the student's performance as a Visiting Student to the TRU Records Office. In addition, each student must submit, in writing, a request that the Records Office apply the credit to their TRU record and must include a copy of the Letter of Permission with the request. Campus-Based Programs: A maximum aggregate of 30 TRU credits or equivalent may be acquired through study as a Visiting Student and must be counted as part of the maximum external credits, as per policy ED 8-0. Open Learning Programs: Maximum external credits are set in relation to the program’s residency requirements which vary from program to program. ED 3-7 Waitlist Thompson Rivers University (TRU) recognizes that although a course or program may have reached its registration capacity prior to the start of the course or program, some course registrants are unable to attend at the last moment and vacancies occur at the start of the course or program. REGULATIONS Waitlist: During the registration period, once the enrolment capacity for a course has been reached, a student still wishing to register will be placed on a waitlist for that course. Change of Address Students must notify the Registrar’s Office in writing of any change in address, email address, or telephone number. This can also be done through myTRU, phone or in-person. Students who are in receipt of government student assistance should also notify the appropriate provincial authority. Waitlisted Students: A waitlisted student is expected to attend the first two days of class. Waitlisted students who attend the first two days of class will be given priority for vacant seats by order of the waitlist. ED 3-0 Withdrawals Thompson Rivers University (TRU) recognizes that students may withdraw from their courses for a wide variety of reasons. Because of the possible impact on their educational future, students are urged to seek counselling before making a decision to withdraw from a course or program. In the event of a student deciding to withdraw from a course or program, the following deadlines apply: 1. The withdrawal date is the last day of the eighth instructional week for one-semester courses and the last day of the third instructional week in the second semester of two-semester courses; 2. Students in semesterized programs may withdraw from their entire program up to the last day of instruction in the semester; 3. Students who miss either of the deadlines listed above will receive a grade of 'F' or 'DNC' unless they can satisfy the Registrar that they have suffered illness or domestic affliction or circumstances beyond their control, which have prevented them from withdrawing from their courses within the relevant deadline. This decision of the Registrar is subject to appeal (see Policy ED 4-0). 4. The last day to change from a semesterized section of a course to an independent study section of the same course is eight weeks into the semester. 5. Withdrawal dates for Summer Sessions or intersession courses shall be prorated to the end of the nearest full week based on the one semester withdrawal policy. making course changes to confirm appropriateness of changed programs for academic or diploma/certificate completion. Course Exemptions The Department Chair will evaluate, on request, other courses taken at TRU and, where appropriate, will provide course exemptions toward the student's new program. This assessment will be done by the Registrar’s Office for Academic and Degree programs. Corequisites Corequisite courses must be taken at the same time as the desired course if the corequisite has not already been satisfactorily completed. Course Changes Course changes may be made only as indicated in the Sessional/Important Dates located at the beginning of this calendar. Official forms must be completed by the students and submitted to the Registrar’s Office before the deadline date. Students are urged to consult with Program and Academic Advisors and Student Loans before 30 Course Numbering and Definitions Effective Fall 2010 TRU revised its course numbering from a three-digit number to a four-digit number (i.e. ENGL 110, is now ENGL 1100). Digits The first digit indicates year level at which the course is usually taken. Course numbers beginning with a “1” are first year courses. Second year courses begin with a “2”. The second and third digits further define a course. The fourth digit indicates whether it 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 instruction 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 for a total of 7 hours of instructor contact time each week. Letters following the third digit indicate: “L”: indicates a lab and in nursing courses “P”: a clinical practicum. Credit The credits for a course are indicated following the course vectoring/hours of instruction. Course Prerequisites Students must meet the specific course prerequisites as set out in this calendar prior to enrolling in the 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. In the Science Division, satisfactory completion is a grade of “C” or better in the specific discipline courses, and all course prerequisites will be checked to ensure compliance. 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 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 the courses taken for credit. 4. A course or grade may not be deleted from the permanent record. However, if the student repeats a course only the highest grade will be used in the calculation of their total grade 31 point average, including equivalent courses taken through TRUOL. Students should contact the Registrar's office to ensure GPA has been recalculated. Note: Students who intend to transfer to another educational institution must realize that another institution may re-compute grade point average in accordance with its own policies. Grades - Statement of Grades Students can view their most current grades using their myTRU account. If you have any questions concerning your official online grade record, contact the Admissions/Registration Office. No statement of grades, diploma or certificate will be issued until the student has cleared up all obligations to TRU in the way of fees, overdue library books, or outstanding fines and loans. For more information visit our website at www.tru.ca/admreg/academicrecords Grading Systems In order to achieve uniform standard and comparability across Thompson Rivers University (TRU), standard letter grading systems shall be established. All final official grades shall be assigned and reported according to this letter grade system. TRU grading systems are established for the purpose of reporting official course outcomes, and are not intended to limit ways in which an instructor or Open Learning Faculty member may choose to provide feedback to students during a course or program. To assist with the determination of the appropriate final letter grade, this policy provides a numerical percentage range for each letter grade. Each letter grade has a numeric grade point value assigned. Letter grades do not become official until they appear on the students transcript. Instructors may notify students of unofficial course grades, but Faculties, Schools and Departments reserve the right to correct or adjust unofficial grades in order to maintain consistent interpretation of the Letter Grade Definitions set out below with the approval of the Associate Vice-President, Research and Graduate Studies or designate.

Full Time Student: A student who registers at least a 60% course load (40% for students with a permanent disability) of the program in which she/he is enrolled, and who registers for at least 60% of a regular program of work each semester is classified as a full-time student. Part Time Student: A student who registers in less than 60% of a course load will be classified as a part time student. 2. Auditor (non-credit) A student who wishes to take a credit course for non-credit. Students who register to audit a course must satisfy the instructor that they are taking reasonable steps to complete course 33 requirements, although no formal evaluation procedures are required. Upon completion of the course, a grade of “AUD” is posted. If the instructor determines a student is not completing course requirements, a grade of W will be recorded. Audit students do not receive credit for the course. Regular tuition fees are charged for all courses audited. Students must meet with the instructor at the commencement of the course, or before a change to “Audit” status, to agree on what constitutes reasonable steps to complete course requirements. Students who wish to change from Credit to Audit status must do so by the end of the second week of the semester. Since Audit students do not have to satisfy prerequisites for entry into a particular course, departments that have courses with activities that involve potential safety issues (i.e., clinical, laboratory or experiential activities) have the right to refuse an Audit student's participation in these activities. Student Complaints Transcripts of Academic Record If a student has a complaint about a particular course or instructor, the first step should be to discuss the problem with the instructor. If the problem is not resolved or the problem is such that the student does not wish to approach the instructor, the student should discuss the problem with the appropriate Department Chairperson or Dean. If the student is still dissatisfied, the student should consult with the office of Student Affairs, or a Counsellor. 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.

Program Overview TRU’s Bachelor of Tourism Management (BTM) has the distinction of being the first tourism degree in British Columbia and has grown to offer more specialty focus areas than any other tourism degree in Canada. This is a forward thinking, innovative, and engaging degree for students who are looking to become leaders and managers in the international experience economy. The degree was developed with the participation and input of our partners in education: industry, students and alumni. It reflects the current and emerging realities of this dynamic field and is constantly evolving in order to better serve both our students' needs and emerging industry challenges. The BTM is delivered by a team of talented and innovative faculty who work with students that are motivated and eager to take on the challenges facing tourism in the new millennium. Courses provide a blend of theory and practice. Assignments introduce students to current management issues with local, regional, national and international tourism businesses and organizations. These assignments are designed to give students the skills and confidence to develop their own tourism businesses and/or fill the growing need for managers in the tourism industry. Co-operative Education In order to meet all requirements for graduation, students must have a minimum of 500 hours (12-14 weeks) documented, relevant work experience supported by industry references indicating capable performance. If this requirement is not met upon admission, it must be completed prior to admission to year four of the BTM. Students have the option of completing this requirement via two co-op work terms as part of their studies in the BTM Co-operative Education is the integration of academic studies with paid work terms related to the student's studies. Students receive 6 lower level elective credits for completing two work terms. Each co-op work term for the BTM is four months in length and can be completed in a number of ways. The model below is the most common way to complete the two Co-op work terms. Students will apply to coop in September or January and will work with the Tourism Co-op Coordinator to make this experience as rewarding as possible. Students must complete a minimum of 30 first year credits with a cumulative GPA of 2.33 to enter the BTM Co-op Option and must maintain a cumulative GPA of 2.33 to remain eligible for Co-op. Sample BTM Co-op Time Pattern Learning Experiences All students are required to complete a minimum of 500 hours of tourismrelated work experience to integrate theory with field application. Students work in partnership with various communities via the BTM. This provides value to our students by including applied field assignments, as well as the opportunity to give back to local communities by linking them to the developing expertise of our students. Up to six credits of course work can be achieved via co-operative education. Students are able to access a number of international opportunities, including study abroad and field school programs. 44 (Two Co-op Work Terms Required) Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Sept.-Dec.

Learning Options Learning Experiences Full-time Study Work Practicum and Industry Hours The work practicum component of the program is mandatory and must be completed during the four month break between the Professional Cook 1 and Professional Cook 2 components. During this time students will be 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 attend classes on a full-time basis. On-Campus Classes are held at the Kamloops campus. Program Start Dates Students may enter the program at the beginning of January or the end of August each year. Program Overview The Culinary Arts program gives students the skills and expertise needed to secure jobs in the food preparation industry. The program has been an integral part of the campus and local community for more than three decades. The program's professional ideals are deeply rooted in a commitment to teach classic cooking fundamentals while incorporating current industry trends. The Culinary Arts Cafeteria, Bistro, and Accolades, a nationally recognized dining room, all showcase the efforts of students. Foundation skills, creativity, teamwork, and professionalism are nurtured and encouraged by the instructors. Students become cooks in "real life" working kitchens and learn all aspects of the food preparation industry, from production to service. 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. Graduates wanting to take the next step in the profession may pursue Professional Cook 3 training. 67 The students’ instructors and work supervisor will evaluate students during their work experience. The students will receive a “complete” or “incomplete” on their grade report for their practical work experiences. In addition to the work practicum, students must have a total of 400 hours of work-based 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 are able to 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. *If students have worked or are working at a place of employment that is approved by the culinary arts faculty, documented hours gained prior to entering the program will be honoured. Documentation of employment must be provided. Admission Requirements Educational Requirements 1. B.C. grade 10 (or equivalent) is a minimum. Grade 12 is preferred.

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 the student receives 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 A student must obtain 70% or a C average on each level and course. Final mark is determined by the following: Theory Portion Practical Evaluation 25% 75% Academic Probation The program places emphasis on training students to industry standards. A large component of the program requires teamwork. 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 The first stage is to notify the student verbally of problems that must be dealt with. If these problems persist the student and instructor will collaboratively develop a probation contract. The student will be monitored and failure to show significant improvement during the period of the contract may result in a dismissal. 70 Program Contact Department Chair - Professional Cook Training 250.377.6082 Meat Cutter/Retail Meat Processing Program Options: Retail Meat Processing Certificate Program: a foundation level program Meat Cutter Apprenticeship Levels 1 and 2 training: for registered apprentices.

On-Campus The program is offered at the Kamloops campus. Program Start Date 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. End of August Program Overview The TRU Retail Meat Processing Program has been in operation since 1975 and is the only program offering this training in British Columbia. 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 six weeks of practical industry work experience in two different locations anywhere in British Columbia. In addition, students are encouraged to participate in a one-week field trip to some of the largest and most advanced animal processing and sausage manufacturing plants in British Columbia and Alberta. 71 Learning Experiences Productivity 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 will be required to undertake two threeweek work practica at two different locations to gain industry experience. The instructor helps arrange this in collaboration with businesses throughout British Columbia while the other students continue with cutting activities, sausage manufacturing and theory portions of the program in preparation for their own field work. Students from outside of the immediate Kamloops area are encouraged to complete practica in their home communities. Admission Requirements Educational Requirements 1. B.C.

The study of English introduces students to an enormous range of human creative activity, from ancient civilizations to the most recent developments in film and creative writing. English forms a natural fit with other disciplines, too, including history, Canadian Studies, journalism, philosophy, fine arts, sociology, and psychology. A degree in English will never be obsolete; it provides experience and skills that will remain of value throughout one’s lifetime. The English Major Program provides a comprehensive study of writing from ancient to contemporary cultures. Students are encouraged to explore complex texts and to develop their thinking, writing, and reading skills – skills essential for numerous professions in the Information Age and for future literary studies. The program provides the comprehensive, historical coverage generally demanded of students going on to further study in English literature, with an emphasis on the breadth of recent English literature. Students can receive a BA with a Major in English. The English Department at TRU is exceptionally strong.

It is not, however, simply about memorizing a timeline or learning a set of facts. Our understanding of history is constantly changing as new perspectives, interpretations, and evidence are brought forth. History, then, is a dynamic field that is enriched by ongoing debates about all aspects of the past. History is the most universal of the humanities, encompassing the study of everything from politics, gender, and society to technology, economics, and war. History offers students the opportunity to develop skills that are invaluable in all fields of endeavor. In History, students will develop and strengthen their capacity for critical thinking. They will learn how to define complex problems, conduct research, classify extensive data, and construct effective arguments. They will sharpen their oral and written communication skills, and analyze issues that are relevant to contemporary concerns. Students of History will not only gain intellectual fulfillment, but a range of concrete skills that are eagerly sought by employers. Admission Requirements Students usually declare their Major before the start of their third year of courses. All candidates must meet with Major Program Advisor who will assist with course selection and ensure that requirements are met. Before students can declare their Major they must have met the admission requirements for the BA.

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). Studying at TRU offers many advantages, including small class sizes and readily accessible instructors. Small class sizes enable our instructors to give students more individual attention than larger universities. Our department offers a BSc with a major in Mathematics or Mathematical Sciences and a BA with a major in Mathematics. We also provide a wide variety of service courses for other diploma and degree programs offered at TRU. Admission Requirements At least C+ in Principles of Math 12 or MATH 1000 within the last two years, or at least C+ in MATH 0610 within the last two years. In exceptional cases, for example, where a student has transferred from another educational system or has been out of school for several years, entry into MATH 1140 may be permitted based on a placement test administered (for these exceptional cases only) by the Department of Mathematics and Statistics during the first week of classes.

Major Program in Philosophy Philosophy is both a study of questions and thinkers and a methodology. 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 you 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 Although students normally declare their Major before the start of their third year of courses, some first-year and second-year courses are required. 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. Before students can declare a Major in Philosophy, they must have met the admission requirements for the BA, as well as the following: Lower-level Philosophy Requirements (15 Credits, 5 courses) 1. One of: PHIL 1010, PHIL 1020, PHIL 1100 (Introduction to Philosophy) 2. One of: PHIL 2010 or PHIL 2210 (Ethics) 3. One of: PHIL 2140 or PHIL 2150 (Epistemology and Metaphysics) 4.

Honours Program in Psychology An Honours program provides an opportunity for academically successful and motivated students to develop their research, writing, 87 Program Contact BA Advisor BAAdvising@tru.ca 250.371.5566 Psychology Secretary 250.828.5116 Psychology Chair 250.828.5234 Major Program in Sociology Sociology, the study of human society, is a broadly based liberal arts and research discipline - one of the most diversified, interesting, and practical disciplines there is (we think!). 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. Our Sociology major will give you extensive knowledge of the key social factors affecting human behaviour and also develop your skills in designing and evaluating research. Admission Requirements Students usually declare their Major before the start of their third year of courses. All candidates are assigned a Major Program Advisor and they must meet to ensure that they qualify and so that an appropriate selection of courses can take place. Before students can declare their Major they must have met the admission requirements for the BA. Admission to the major requires completion of SOCI 1110 and 1210 and two 2000-level Sociology courses, of which three of the four Sociology courses must receive Grade C+ or above.

Writing Sample All applications for the Bachelor of Journalism degree program must include a writing sample, 500 words or less, on the topic "Why I want to be a Journalist." The department recommends a meeting with the department chair, in person, by phone, or email correspondence, prior to the application deadline. Program and Entry Options Most students enter into the Bachelor of Journalism program at the first year and complete four years of study in the program. Alternatively, students may transfer into the program at the third year after completing 60 credits of post-secondary study. Admission is competitive; preference is given to those whose post-secondary studies show evidence of strong writing skills; a good understanding of Canadian history, politics, and economy; strong problem solving and critical thinking abilities; good oral communication and interpersonal skills; a basic understanding of visual design; and a general familiarity with computers. Students are further encouraged to gain volunteer experience in the field before applying to the program. In addition to the focus in journalism, students may choose to pursue a Concentration in Public Relations. Service Learning and Internship Experiences The degree program includes an optional practicum placement at a newspaper or magazine, or in the media or public relations departments of government or private agencies. Alternatively, through a six-to-twelve-week supervised service-learning position, students explore the range of career possibilities in journalism, public relations, and organizational communication. Students propose practicum and service learning placements in collaboration with department faculty. Department supervision and evaluation of field work is completed in collaboration with a field supervisor. Students prepare for practicums (the traditional way into the newspaper business) and/or service learning positions in the Career Preparation Courses. Three core, onecredit courses, offered in second, third, and fourth years, help students prepare for and seek practical placements or service learning projects during their second and third years, and for jobs or graduate programs after fourth year. Journalism students are also encouraged to pursue publication on a freelance basis and to volunteer for short-term internships with local papers and other publications to gain invaluable "real-world" experience. General practicum inquiries are welcome. Please contact: Journalism Program Chair 250.377.6017 Journalism Program Coordinator 250.377.6045 Transfer to TRU Students may transfer up to 60 credits of acceptable post-secondary study from any recognized college or university. Evaluation of transfer credit is done on an individual basis, except where formal transfer agreements are in place. Contact the Department Chair for more information on credit transfer towards entry into the Journalism program. Prior Learning Assessment Review (PLAR) PLAR credit is routinely assessed for Journalism students, especially for mature students with prior professional work in the field of Journalism, Communications, Media, and Public Relations, following TRU Education Policy on PLAR. Consultation with the Department Chair is recommended for students seeking information and/or assessment on the suitability of potential PLAR credits. Program Overview In the four-year Bachelor of Journalism program, students complete 60 Journalism credits, with 12 credits required in each of the first and second years, and 18 credits required in each of the third and fourth years. Bachelor of Journalism REQUIRED COURSES foundations of journalism. First and second year courses will be offered every year. Bachelor of Journalism: Years 3 and 4 program and course description The emphasis in the senior years enables students to develop expertise in multi-media and multi-format journalism. Students will also have more opportunity to concentrate on developing expertise in specific reporting subjects or beats, reinforced by additional course work in other disciplines. Upper-level journalism courses will rotate every two years to offer more choice. Two senior core courses (JOUR 3700: Media Law and Media Ethics, and JOUR 3520: Research Methods) and some writing-intensive and production courses will be offered every year. Journalism students will be advised to complete a senior project course (JOUR 4750). The Beat Reporting course (JOUR 3230) is a shell course, covering the basics of beat reporting while enabling students to specialize in subjects of their choice.

Block transfer agreements are in place for some BC and Alberta institutions, allowing students who have completed a journalism studies diploma, or equivalent, to transfer directly into third and fourth year courses. Consultation with the department chair is highly recommended to facilitate this transfer process. Course Requirements for students transferring into the Bachelor of Journalism with no prior journalism or communication courses: Students are required to take 48 credits (16 Journalism courses), including the core courses, as detailed below. Electives (3000 and 4000 level courses) – Unspecified: These are a student’s choice from areas such as (but not limited to) Arts, Languages, Sciences, or Business. 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.

Aboriginal and Indigenous studies is thus interested in historical contexts, political struggles, cultural expressions, and the lived ongoing effects of colonialism. The Aboriginal Studies Certificate provides students the opportunity to concentrate on aboriginal / indigenous studies as part of their degree. Students are encouraged to explore issues through a broad range of disciplinary course offerings. As indigenous issues cross disciplinary boundaries, so too does this certificate.

Some distance courses are also based on September or January start dates, while others offer the ability to start at any time. Program Overview The Literary and Art History Certificate helps students understand the natural connection between the written word and art. So often these activities overlap and, by making a concentration of these subject areas through select courses, the student is offered the opportunity to see how it is that the ideas or creative impulse of the day, and not the medium, that often determines what is made. Students of art history will be fascinated to learn that, while there are romantic painters, there are also romantic writers, and some like William Blake do both. Their ideas come out of the social milieu of the day and it is through the study across disciplines that the student is able to gauge the breadth of these contemporary ideas.

In a world economy where growth is rapid, competition is intense, and innovation is non-stop, business people must be able to make difficult decisions quickly, but temper them with a high degree of social responsibility. Managers must also have a deep understanding of the different cultures and business practices found around the world and a true empathy for all participants in our rapidly globalizing economy. Learning Options Part-time - Yes On-Campus - Yes Distance – Yes Program Start Dates – September, January, May Admission Requirements GCBA To be admitted to the GCBA, students must meet each of the following: The MBA focuses on producing managers and leaders who can meet these challenges with its emphasis on decision making in an uncertain environment, interpersonal and communication skills, ethics and social responsibility, and globalization. The program also caters to those wanting to develop their academic and applied research skills through its Master’s Thesis or Project Options. The completion of a thesis can serve as a stepping stone to a PhD program and an eventual career in academics or consulting. The 1. Education Requirement – Acceptable 3 or 4-year undergraduate degree in any discipline with a minimum B average (GPA of 3.00 on a scale of 4.0) in the last 60 credits. MBA 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 a focus on quality interaction among fellow students, faculty and industry professionals. • A minimum TOEFL score of 600 with a TWE of 5.0 or higher (paper-based test), or a minimum 100 with no section below 20 (IBT), or • IELTS of at least 7.0 (all bands), or • TRU ENGL 1100 and CMNS 1290 with a B (GPA of 3.0 on a scale of 4.0) or higher. The MBA experience at TRU is divided into two programs: the Graduate Certificate in Business Administration (GCBA) consisting of six courses and the MBA consisting of twelve courses. Students must complete the six courses in the GCBA to be admitted to the MBA, but may be exempted from some or all of the GCBA courses as determined by the MBA Committee based on their previous academic record at the undergraduate or graduate level. Applicants with a 4-year BBA or BComm from an acceptable institution may be eligible to proceed directly to the MBA program. Those who have taken at least three of the six GCBA courses at TRU will be awarded a Graduate Certificate in Business Administration. 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 any organization in any field. Students will complete the required courses in the MBA Core and select between three completion options: the Course-based Option, the Thesis Option or the Project Option. 2.

During Years 1 and 2, students receive a strong general education in the humanities and social sciences and take a number of core business courses. This serves as the foundation for advanced study in business at the upper level. In Years 3 and 4, students must acquire a specialization in one of the functional area of business, including Accounting, Finance, Human Resources, International Business, Marketing, or New Venture Creation. Students interested in Economics can also select that discipline, or those who want more breadth in their business studies can choose the General BBA. Specializations take the form of majors consisting of eight or more courses. The majors prepare students to pursue a professional designation such as the Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA), Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA), or Certified Human Resource Professional (CHRP) by providing the extensive course work needed to meet the core competencies established by the profession. Students in 3rd and 4th Year also have the option of completing a minor consisting of four course in a specific discipline or cross-disciplinary 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 complete a minor can take additional business or non-business electives to complete their degree. During their studies, students will 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 used extensively to enhance the student's learning experience. In 3rd and 4th Year, students can participate in an international exchange for a semester, participate in service learning, pursue the Co-operative Education Option, or complete a Honours Degree. Film Communications History Visual and Performing Arts Note: International Business Major students are required to complete six credits of language courses in one language area at the lower level unless exempted based on previous formal language education. Social Sciences Electives Six credits of social sciences electives must be completed from the following: Anthropology Archeology Canadian Studies Economics Geography Political Studies Psychology (excludes PSYC 2100) Sociology (excludes SOCI 2710) Core Courses The following 72 credits (24 courses) are required: As a BBA graduate, you will have strong writing, presentation, critical thinking, and people skills which are the cornerstones of future success. Hard work is not without its rewards. 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.

To earn this distinction, students must maintain a G.P.A. of 3.00 (B) or higher in 3rd and 4th Year while either (i) completing additional upper level courses or (ii) writing a thesis. No upper level grade can fall below B- (G.P.A. 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 1 & 2. Course Route students must take four additional 3rd and 4th year courses in Business or Economics or an approved related area of which two must be at the 4th 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 the Fall Semester of Year 3 and provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to conduct academic research in one of the business disciplines. Students will 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 the Winter Semester of Year 3, students will take a directed studies course in the area of their proposed thesis. 112 Honours Thesis is a taken in Year 4 where the student, 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 will 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 Academic service learning provides a venue for senior-level students to share their knowledge and skills with the community through approved community-based projects. These service learning projects may be initiated by students, by community members, groups, agencies, and organizations, and by faculty. To qualify for service learning credit, a faculty member must first authorize the course and then agree to both supervise and evaluate the project. The student's service learning must demonstrate civic participation, community involvement, and require some measure of formal critical reflection; in addition, the project must involve students (normally 3 - 5 hours per week) in organized community service that addresses local needs. Students may receive service learning credit by working individually or in cohorts of up to 5 students 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. At the end of the course, students will present the faculty supervisor with an evaluation form completed by the community group, agency, or organization served and some combination of the following: a research paper, report, or document; a student journal or activity log; a presentation, performance, or exhibition. BBA students may take up to six upper level credits of service learning (SERV 3000, SERV 4000). Cooperative Education Option The Co-operative Education Option is voluntary but is strongly 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 in their area of specialization; 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. 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. 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) which offers instruction in career development skills in order to be eligible for a work term. Students must complete three Co-op Work Terms to graduate with a Co-op designation, but they are still encouraged to complete just one or two work terms if possible. Students earn three upper level credits for each completed work term up to a maximum of six credits. Double Degree in Computing and Business Double degrees in both computing and business will 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. To earn double 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. Through careful course selection, it is possible to complete both degrees in just five years. Double degree students must graduate from both degrees at the same time. Course Requirements 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). 2. 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 enroll in Upper Level business courses during their first 60 semester credits. 4. Normally, students will only be 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 percent equivalent to receive transfer credit. Transfer credit will be assigned in accordance with the B.C. 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 113 institution. Students with international education must provide translated official transcripts plus an evaluation by an approved evaluation service. Students must have a grade of C- or 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. 6. Prior Learning Assessment (PLAR) is the 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. 7. 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. 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. 8. For individual assessment for business and ECON 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. Note: 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 must also complete a minimum of 36 business credits as define by AACSB as TRU credit. More than 120 credits may have to be taken to meet these requirements. 2. Complete the General Education Requirements, Core Courses, and a Major or General BBA. 3. 4. 5. Complete a minimum of 45 credits in non-business courses, 51 upper level credits, and 39 upper level credits in business or ECON. Business courses include those beginning with the ACCT, BLAW, MIST, ENTR, FNCE, HRMN, IBUS, MKTG, MNGT, ORGB, SCMN, or BUSN acronyms. Complete at least four 4000-level business or ECON courses including MNGT 4780. No more than 30 credits completed at other university-level institutions as part of a student exchange may be counted toward completion of the BBA program.

Learning Options Full-time or Part-time Study Full-time and part-time study is available in the BSW degree. On-Campus The BSW program is offered on the main campus of TRU in Kamloops. Program Schedule Students enter the program in the Fall semester. Most courses are offered in the Fall and Winter semesters, with some summer course offerings. 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. Courses are offered on the Kamloops campus, and students can complete the program on a full-time or part-time basis. 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 Aboriginal perspectives. The BSW program is fully accredited by the Canadian Association for Social Work Education. Students in their third year complete practica in a wide range of social and health service agencies in Kamloops and outlying areas. Agencies are selected based on their potential to provide appropriate and relevant supervision, the best match with student interests and needs, and the ability to provide practical social work experience. Fourth year students may complete practica at a distance from TRU. Our students have benefited from field experience across Canada and in other countries such as Mexico and India. Due to new legislation every registered student who has a practicum/clinical placement involving work with children and/or vulnerable adults must undergo a Criminal Record Check (CRC) through the Criminal Record Review Program. Students will be informed of the CRC process during program information/ orientation sessions. Any CRC done outside of TRU will not be accepted and will result in additional cost to the student. Program Options Nicola Valley Institute of Technology Program A joint TRU/NVIT BSW degree program is offered at NVIT in Merritt and Burnaby. This program provides students with an Aboriginal focus throughout their studies. This degree is administered under an affiliation agreement between TRU and NVIT.

Students who take required courses in child welfare during their BSW program will graduate with a transcript notation indicating successful completion of the specialization. Admission Requirements Field Experience Two social work practica are required to complete the BSW degree and the program. Practicum placements are available 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 First Nations organizations and government ministries.

A limited number of students may also be admitted to the program to study on a part-time basis. On-Campus The Special Needs Educator post diploma certificate provides ECE graduates the opportunity to continue their studies with a focus on children with individual differences. Areas of learning include: child development, supporting children’s social skills, programming for individual children, critical reflection, working with a team of educators and other professionals to facilitate inclusion, the ECE’s professional role and skills to support families. Students have the opportunity to connect theory and practice in practicum. The program is offered on the Kamloops campus. Program Start Dates Licence to Practice Students enter the program in the Fall semester. Completion of the ECE diploma satisfies the requirements of the BC Ministry of Children and Family Development ECE Registry for a Licence to Practice as an Early Childhood Educator. This program does not, by itself, qualify a person to teach in a kindergarten that is part of a public school system. Program Overview The TRU Faculty of Human, Social and Educational Development offers the following Early Childhood Education (ECE) programs: • Early Childhood Education Diploma (Full time & part time options available) • Special Needs Educator Certificate (Post Diploma) • Infant and Toddler Educator Certificate (Post Diploma) 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, reflective practice, working 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. Innovative Practicum Model In addition to placing students in a variety of community early childhood education centers, the ECE program partners with Cariboo Child Care, a non-profit society located on campus, to provide a valuable and practical learning opportunity for students. Students work with the same group of children throughout the practicum and assume increasing responsibilities for programming. This model provides instructors with continuous opportunities to give feedback on student performance, and allows students to: • Develop long-term relationships with children, allowing for individualization of guidance and program strategies. • Connect practice with course work. • Engage in applied research in curriculum development and documentation of the learning process. 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. Areas of learning include: infant and toddler development, critical reflection, creating developmentally appropriate learning experiences for infants and toddlers, the ECE’s professional role and skills to support families. Students have the opportunity to connect theory and practice in two practica. 133 Please note: The ECE Registry requires 500 hours of work experience under the supervision of a licensed Early Childhood Educator in order to qualify for a Licence to Practice as an Early Childhood Educator. Many of these hours can be completed between the second and third semesters as either volunteer or paid assistant in an early childhood setting. Assistant Status ECED 1320 and ECED 1330 fulfill the requirements for the province's new Assistant Status designation. Please contact 250.377.6087 to discuss applying for these courses.

To assess the currency of practical skills, the department may require potential repeating students to repeat courses in which they previously received credit. In order for a student who fails a field work practicum to be eligible for repeating it, the student will need to provide information that confirms his/her readiness to complete the practicum. Students are strongly advised to make their request to repeat a practicum in writing to the program coordinator, three months in advance of the beginning of the practicum in order to make the necessary arrangements. All repeated courses and practica must be successfully completed within one calendar year of the exit from the program for the student to qualify for their diploma or certificate. A student who receives a failing grade in a course for not meeting objectives related to the professional principles or professional conduct, may be refused re-admission to the program.

Opportunities and experiential learning will be developed in collaboration with the University of Calgary, professional organizations such as the Canadian Bar Association and the Law Society of BC, members of the BC Bar and judiciary. Essentially, first year courses include a mixture of learning principles of substantive law and the acquisition of basic lawyering skills, in particular the ability to "think like a lawyer". These two areas of focus will then be elaborated upon in upper year courses, with greater emphasis on learning of principles of substantive law and the additional focus on the acquisition of the practical, clinical and advocacy legal skills required in order to perform the multi-facetted responsibilities expected of a lawyer in the varied roles the profession is called upon to perform. Instruction in this knowledge and skill base will be through lectures, Socratic discussion, small group seminars and practical and clinical learning experiences. Specific Competency Requirements A further element of the Law School curriculum is comprised of the additional requirements of the Federation of Law Societies of Canada. In its Final Report, the Federation stipulates that, in order to be eligible to enter the articling process under the auspices of the Provincial of Territorial Law Society, law school graduates must possess a number of competencies. While already implicit in its curriculum, TRU Law School will ensure that these competencies are an integral part of the curriculum and course of study. These are the three types (i) Skills Competencies, comprising Problem-Solving, Legal Research and Oral and Written Communication; (ii) Ethics and Professionalism and (iii) Substantive Knowledge. Admission Requirements The vast majority of applicants admitted to TRU Law will have an undergraduate degree. However, particular attention will be paid to ensuring that students from smaller and remoter British Columbia communities, Aboriginal students, persons of colour and persons with disabilities will have opportunities to attend the Law School. Students would be admitted to TRU Faculty of Law in a number of categories: Regular Applicants, Special Consideration Applicants and Aboriginal Applicants. 144 Regular Applicants To be eligible for section under this category, an applicant must have: 1. Obtained an undergraduate degree in an approved course of studies from a degree-granting institution; or 2. Successfully completed the first three years (minimum 90 credits) or more of an approved course of studies leading to an undergraduate degree from a degree-granting institution; or 3. Successfully completed the first two years of studies leading to an undergraduate degree at a degree-granting institution, and be currently enrolled in the third year of the degree program. (An offer of admission will be conditional on successful completion of the third year by June 30 of the academic year in question with a minimum of 90 credits at a degree-granting institution, and maintenance of the academic average obtained in the first two years of studies. 30 of the 90 credit requirements must be completed at the senior level); and A personal statement is required in all categories. Regular applicants may request that special circumstances be considered in determining their academic average. The special factors or circumstances (such as medical or other emergency matters) must be documented fully. If a regular applicant requests the Admissions Committee to consider making an adjustment to the overall academic average, the facts must be verified and supported by appropriate documentation. If the special circumstances are medical, then a doctor’s letter is required. Not all special circumstances can be considered in the regular category. Certain factors such as financial hardship, learning disabilities or other disadvantages, or ethnic background, can only be considered in the Special Consideration category. Regular applicants will be advised in writing as soon as possible whether their application has been accepted or rejected for admission purposes. Applicants who have not received a letter will be on the wait list until a decision can be make. In addition, a personal statement, two letters of recommendation (academic), one letter of recommendation (non-academic), LSAT score and official transcripts are required. Special Consideration Applicants A limited number of positions in first-year law are available for applicants under the Special Considerations category. Because of special factors in life, an applicant may not satisfy one or more of the requirements for regular applicants, but may have other relevant achievements and experience. The Admissions Committee will respond to this type of situation by taking into account factors such as disability or special needs, financial disadvantage, age (generally over 30 years old), membership in a historically disadvantaged group, residency in a small and/or remote community or any other factors that the applicant wishes the Admissions Committee to consider. These factors will be volunteer work for community and/or charitable organizations. Applicants applying in the Special Consideration category are normally required to have completed the first two years of an approved course of studies leading to an undergraduate degree at a degree granting institution. A personal statement, two letters of recommendation (academic), one letter of recommendation (non-academic), LSAT score and official transcripts are required, and where appropriate, documentation such as medical reports should be submitted. Applicants applying in the Special Consideration category must also submit a biographical resume detailing the special factors, including their achievements and work experience, they wish the Admissions Committee to consider. Each application is considered individually on its merits. It is important that applicants send detailed accounts of their circumstances, including their involvement in community and/or charitable organizations. In this category it is also important that applicants submit documentation (e.g., medical reports, if applicable, or letters of reference) in order for the Admissions Committee to evaluate their files. Type of Admission Process Selective Students will be assessed on 4 criteria: GPA, LSAT, Personal Statement and Letters of Reference. Program Requirements A total of ninety credits (90) are required to graduate with a Juris Doctor degree. Students admitted into the Law Program will be required to successfully complete the following 9 courses in the first year curriculum (for a total of 36 credits).

Applicants are required to establish their Aboriginal ancestry. In addition, a personal statement, two letters of recommendation (academic), one letter of recommendation (non-academic), LSAT score and official transcripts are required. 145 Program Contact 250.852.7268 School of Nursing Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree A four-year degree program. Graduates receive a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BScN). 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 Learning Experiences Full-time Study Students have practicum experiences throughout the four years of the program including a 4-6 week practicum during May/June. Practica occur in residential and acute care facilities, community health agencies, and homes. Outlying agencies in the region are used for clinical practice. Students are required to travel outside of Kamloops for practica. Practicum courses may also include evening and weekend experiences. The program is offered on a full-time basis over four years. All BScN program requirements must be completed within 7 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 7 years of the date of entry. On-Campus The program is offered at the Kamloops campus pending seat availability. 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, but does qualify the graduate to write the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX). To become a registered nurse, graduates must write and pass the NCLEX. Students applying for the NCLEX and registration are asked to provide information regarding any convictions for criminal offenses (other than minor traffic violations). Candidates with criminal convictions may not be eligible for registration. Nursing at TRU 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-centered 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. International Experiences International Consolidated Practice Experience (CPE) At the end of their third year, nursing students have an opportunity to complete an international CPE. This experience replaces their usual year end practicum. The Practice Placement Coordinator (PPC) 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 campus wide. 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 www.tru.ca/global credential.

Faculty of Science Master of Science in Environmental Science Degree Students in this program normally take 2 to 2.5 years to complete the degree requirements. Graduates of the program receive a Master of Science degree (MSc). Program Overview The MSc in Environmental Science is a thesis-based degree with three areas of specialization: 1) Ecology and Evolution; 2) Physical Sciences; and 3) Policy and Management. Because of our broad range of expertise, TRU is superbly positioned to train students to approach specific sub-disciplines using techniques ranging from molecular techniques to ecosystem ecology to policy, management, and ethical considerations. The environment is a complex of biological, geological, physical, chemical, social and cultural factors that interact to influence the life of an individual or community. Our environment is threatened by global issues such as overpopulation, global climate change, and habitat fragmentation. Many of these issues are caused by humans, and in turn they are threatening the very wellbeing of humans. The problems we face today are not solvable by science alone, but by an equal discovery and knowledge of culture, sociology, economics, politics and ethics. The TRU MSc in Environmental Science provides an integrative, multidisciplinary approach to the study of the environment. The program is structured to be unique, flexible and relevant. TRU is ideally located to study environmental issues because of its proximity to a wide variety of diverse regional ecosystems. Kamloops is a city of approximately eighty thousand people in the Southern Interior of British Columbia. The Thompson/Okanagan region and neighbouring Cariboo Plateau provide rare native grassland ecosystems, freshwater wetlands, lakes and rivers, and a rich diversity of forested ecosystems, all within easy access of TRU. Mountain and ocean ecosystems are found within a few hours' drive. The location of the university also provides collaborative potential with a number of neighbouring institutions and agencies, such as BC Ministry of Forests and Range, Agriculture Canada Research Station, BC Ministry of Environment, Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Bamfield Marine Station, BC Grassland Conservation Council, and Ducks Unlimited Canada. Admission Requirements Applicants must meet the following TRU admission requirements: 1. Completion of a four-year undergraduate degree or equivalent in an appropriate discipline from an accredited institution 2.

Students must complete three Co-op work terms to graduate with Co-op Distinction. Mathematics students normally apply for the Co-op option in the fall semester of their second or third year. 161 Term 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 the student’s intended major. (See below for details.) Prerequisites for English 1100 are: • English 12/English 12 First Peoples with a minimum of 73% within the last 5 years • Level 5 on the composition section of the Language Proficiency Index (within the last 2 years) • Completion of English 0600 or completion of ESAL 0570 and ESAL 0580 with a grade of C+ or better. 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 Chem 0500 Chemistry Chemical Biology Principles of Math 12 or Pre-calculus 12 with C+ or better within the past 2 years or equivalent Environmental Chemistry Physics 11 or Physics 1130 Computing Science Chemistry 11 or Chem 0500 Mathematics Mathematical Sciences Principles of Math 12 or Pre-calculus 12 with C+ or better within the past 2 years or equivalent 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. 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 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 www.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 elittley@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 will be required to meet with the BSc Advisor (elittley@tru.ca) and declare a Major. The BSc Advisor will assist each 162 student in selecting 3000-4000 level courses to meet the graduation requirements for each Major. General Science Degree Program The General Science program, leading to a Bachelor of Science degree, gives students an education in science that is broader than the 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 Degree 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'. 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 1. 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 B.C. secondary schools. 2. 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 upper level 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. 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 three credits of 1000 level introductory courses in each of chemistry, computing science, physics, and either biology or geology in their first two years. 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, 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 six credits of English must also be completed. (Students who do not achieve a high level of performance in their first English course will be required to complete 9 credits of English.) The General Science program requires careful planning by the student. Students must ensure that during their second year 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 upper level credits. These will count toward the 48 credits of upper level courses required for graduation. 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 163 • 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 Cellular, Molecular, and Microbial Biology Ecology and Environmental Biology Biology Chemical Biology Chemistry Computing Science Computing Science and Mathematics Environmental Chemistry Mathematics 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. 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 the student 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. A student may pursue a Minor in either another area of Science (Biology, Chemistry, Computing Science, Mathematics and Statistics, or Physics) or in a discipline within the Arts for which sufficient upper level (3000 and 4000 level) courses are available. Students in the BSc Major Program may also be able to complete a minor in the following: • • • • Archaeology and Geology (Geoarchaeology) 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 (3rd or 4th 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. A Minor in Chemistry requires that at least one of the upper level credits is in a laboratory course. Minor in Archaeology and Geology Requires the completion of the following courses: GEOL 1110 or ECON 3410 The Economics of Climate Change ECON 3690 Community Economic Development ECON 3700 Cost Benefit Analysis for Project Evaluation ECON 3710 Environmental Economics ECON 3990 *Special Topics in Economics ECON 3730 Forestry Economics ECON 3740 Land Use ECON 4720 Sustainable Economic Development ECON 4990 *Special Topics in Economics *Note: The ECON 3990 and 4990 can be used only if special topics covered are related to the minor. The chairs/program advisor with consultation will make this decision. GEOG 1120 Minor in Management GEOL 2050 or Requires the completion of the following courses: BIOL 1210 or MATH 1240 Calculus 2 GEOL 2290 STAT 2000 or Introduction to Statistics 3 credits from first or second year Archaeology: PSYC 2100 or Analysis of Psychological Data ARCH 1110 or ECON 2320 or Economics and Business Statistics I ARCH 1190 or BIOL 3000 or Biometrics ARCH 2190 SOCI 2710 Introduction to Social Statistics 9 credits in third and fourth year Archaeology from: ACCT 2210 Financial Accounting ARCH 3050 ORGB 2810 Organizational Behaviour ARCH 3060 FNCE 2120 Financial Management ARCH 3260 MKTG 2430 Introduction to Marketing ARCH 4110 HRMN 2820 Human Resource Management ARCH 4200 Three additional 3000/4000 business courses ANTH 4330 9 credits in third and fourth year Geology from: GEOL 3010 GEOL 3030 GEOL 3190 GEOL 4250 GEOL 4480 Minor in Computing Science Requires the completion of the following courses: COMP 1130 Computer Programming 1 COMP 1230 Computer Programming 2 COMP 1390 Discrete Structures 2 COMP 2230 Data Structures, Algorithm Analysis and Program Design COMP 3520 Software Engineering COMP 3540 Web Design and Programming COMP 3610 Database Systems Students taking a Major in Mathematical Sciences cannot take a Minor in Computing Science. Specific requirements for Minors programs in the Arts disciplines are detailed in the Bachelor of Arts Degree Program section of the calendar. Students intending to complete a Minor in one of these disciplines are advised to consult the BA Advisor. Students considering a Minor must plan their program very carefully and should complete during their first two years any lower level (1000 and 2000 level) prerequisites required for the upper level courses they plan to take in the field of their Minor. 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. One of the following: COMP 3260 Internet and Security Issues COMP 3270 Computer Networks COMP 4250 Computer Network Administration At least 2 additional COMP at the 3000/4000 level Minor in Environmental Economics and Sustainable Development Requires the completion of 12 credits of upper level courses from the list below. 164 Double Major Program 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 B.Sc. Advisor for further information 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. Honours Program The intention of Honours programs is 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 B.Sc. students are available only in the field of Biology, Chemical Biology, Mathematics, and Computing Science. Specific requirements are listed under “Biology Majors and Honours Programs”, "Chemical Biology Major and Honours Program", "Math Major and Honours Program" and "Computing Science Major and Honours Program". Interdisciplinary Major and Honours Program in Chemical Biology Students taking this program are eligible to enter the Biology or Chemistry Co-operative Education program, providing they meet the requirements. An Honours program is available in Chemical Biology and requires the completion of 126 credits, including the 117 credits required for the Major as well as CHBI 3980-1 (Introduction to Research), CHBI 4980-2 (Honours Seminar) and CHBI 4990-6 (Honours Thesis). Students must apply for admission to the Chemical Biology Honours program at the end of their 3rd year. Acceptance into the program normally requires 4th year standing, a minimum GPA of 3.0 with at least at B grade in all Biology, Chemistry and required English courses.

The remaining elective credits may be chosen from any discipline; at least 9 of these must be courses numbered 3000 or higher. Biology Programs The Biology program offers students numerous opportunities to engage in research during their BSc. These include lab and field based projects within program courses as well as independent research projects and collaborations with faculty members as part of a Directed Studies option, Honours Thesis, or through student research grants. There are four undergraduate options leading to a BSc degree in Biology at TRU: Animal Biology, Cellular, Molecular and Microbial Biology, Ecology and Environmental Biology, and General Biology.Major In Animal Biology Major in Animal Biology - for students first registered September 2010 and later Year 1 CHEM 1500/1510 or 1500/1520 6 credits 1 ENGL 1100 or 1110 3 credits ENGL 1100, 1110, 1120, 1140, 1150, 1210, CMNS 2290 3 credits 2 BIOL 1110/1210 6 credits CHEM 1500/1510 or 1500/1520 6 credits 1 ENGL 1100 or 1110 3 credits ENGL 1100 , 1110, 1120, 1140, 1150, 1210, CMNS 2290 or 3 credits 2 2300 MATH 1130/1230 or 1140/1240 or 1150/1250 PHYS 1100/1200 or 1150/1250 6 credits 5 6 credits or 2300 MATH 1130/1230 or 1140/1240 or 1150/1250 PHYS 1100/1200 or 1150/1250 3 6 credits Year 2 BIOL 2130/2340 6 credits three of: BIOL 2160, 2170, 2280 and 2290 9 credits BIOL 2300 1 credit 3 credits of COMP chosen from COMP 1000, 1010, 3 credits 1 Year 2 6 credits 1020, 1030, 1040, 1050, 1070, 1130 or 1150 BIOL 2130/2340 6 credits BIOL 2170 and 2290 6 credits BIOL 2160 or 2280 3 credits BIOL 2300 1 credit 3 credits of COMP chosen from COMP 1000, 1010, 1020, 1030, 1040, 1050, 1070, 1080,1090, 1130 or 1150 1 3 credits CHEM 2120/2220 6 credits 3 6 credits Electives Year 3 and 4 nd CHEM 2120/2220 6 credits 4 6 credits Electives Year 3 and 4 one of BIOL 2160, 2170, 2280 and 2290 not taken in 3 credits 2nd year BIOL 3000 3 credits BIOL 3030 3 credits BIOL 3130/3350 6 credits two of BIOL 3510, 3520, 3540, 3550 or one of these 6 or 9 credits BIOL 2160 or 2280 (not taken in 2 year) 3 credits BIOL 3000 3 credits BIOL 3300 and 4300 2 credits BIOL 3030 3 credits BIOL 4130 or 4140 3 credits BIOL 3130/3350 6 credits ,5,6 12 credits BIOL 3540/3550 6 credits Biology Electives 4 21 credits BIOL 4130 or 4140 3 credits 1 BIOL 3300 and 4300 2 credits 2 4 Animal Biology Electives 3 Electives 1 2 5 and both of BIOL 4110 and 4210 Electives 18 credits 15 credits 4 or 2300 without taking a second 1st year ENGL course. 3 4 5 5 Students with a grade of 80% or better in Physics 12 only need to complete 3 credits of first year Physics, PHYS 1150.

This is particularly important in those Major programs in which there is little flexibility in course selection. Although the General Science program allows the student 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 are able to enrol in during any one year. Students are strongly advised to consult with a TRU Academic Advisor or the B.Sc. Advisor to assist them with their program planning. Entry into Year 3 172 Students currently registered in Science at TRU will automatically be admitted to the third year of the degree program once they have met the requirements listed below. Students new to TRU or attending TRU outside of the Sciences Program must submit applications for admission to the third year of the BSc program in either Major program(s) or the General Science program to the Admissions Office by April 15. These students will then receive written notice of their admission status. Students accepted into the program will then be required to select their courses for the upcoming year in consultation with the BSc Advisor. Late applications will be considered only if space is available. Limitation of Enrolment It may be necessary to limit enrolment in certain courses if the demand is greater than the resources available. When limitations in enrolments become necessary, admission to 3000 and 4000 level year courses will be selective with students having the highest overall grade point averages, and students requiring specific courses for graduation, being given preference. B.Sc. Advisor. Remedial courses with course numbers less than 1000 are also excluded. At least 72 credits in Science disciplines (Astronomy (excluding ASTR 1130, 1140 and 1150), Biology, Chemistry, Computing Science, Forestry, Geology, Mathematics, Natural Resource Science, Physical Geography, Physics or Statistics). At least 18 credits in courses outside of Science including at least 6 credits of English and 9 to 12 credits in at least two disciplines other than English.

Learning Options Full-time or Part-time Study On-Campus The degree program is offered on the main campus of TRU in Kamloops. A selection of 1st and 2nd year courses is offered at the Williams Lake campus. Program Start Dates Students may enter the program in Fall, Winter, or Summer semester. Distance Education Many courses are available by distance education. Visit www.tru.ca/distance Program Overview In a world where specialization is the norm in university training for careers in the natural resource professions, the demand from industry 178 and government agencies is increasingly for professionals who are generalists. The BNRS program addresses this need by providing a course of study that is unique in its scope and purpose. The program consists of 120 credits which can be completed in four or five years on a full-time basis or up to seven years on a part-time basis. The purpose of the BNRS degree program is to prepare students for careers in a wide range of natural resource sector jobs or for further academic study in graduate school. The program provides a unique combination of courses covering biology, ecology, scientific methods, and sector-specific resource management skills in a cooperative education format. Students learn problem solving, oral and written communication skills, and integration of various disciplines in both an independent and team environment. By understanding the scientific, economic, and social basis of natural resource issues, graduates of the program will be able to effectively interface between diverse interest groups, all having a stake in how our terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems are managed. Courses and field work dealing with management of the various sectors give students technical skills in a wide variety of management disciplines. Upon graduation, students will have acquired a wide range of technical abilities in assessing the status of ecosystems. This assessment covers aspects such as forestry, fisheries, range, and wildlife management. Completion of Co-op 0900 is mandatory prior to a student’s first work term to maintain eligibility for the Co-op Education program. Refer to the Co-operative Education section of the calendar for detailed information on Co-op policies and procedures and tuition fees. Professional Certification Learning Experiences Completion of the BNRS degree fulfills the academic requirements of the BC Institute of Agrologists and Professional Biologists.

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 normally apply for admission into the Honours Program prior to completion of Year 3. This will be in April for non Co-op students or in December for Co-op students. A decision on the application by the Department of Natural Resource Sciences will be rendered after grades for their final Year 3 semester have been tabulated. Year 4 standing: The student must have completed all courses in the first, second and third year of the BNRS program. The student must maintain a GPA of 3.33 during their first, second and third years in the BNRS program. 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. Program Requirements Honours students will take the following courses in the last year: Semester 7 Year 4 – Semester 1 (17 credits) NRSC 3210 Range Management NRSC 4040 Wildlife Management 1 NRSC 4100 Fisheries Management NRSC 4140 Policy and Planning NRSC 4240 Research Design NRSC 4980 Honours Seminar NRSC 4990 Honors 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 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. The student 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. It is the responsibility of the student 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. Thus, neither the Department of Natural Resource Sciences nor Thompson Rivers University is obliged to identify a supervisor, even in the event that the student meets the academic criteria needed for entry into the Honours Program. Thesis supervision by scientists external to the Department of Natural Resource Sciences may be permitted under certain conditions. 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. 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.

Chemistry 11 or Chem 0500 Principles of Math 12 with C+ or better within the past 2 years or equivalent Physics 11 or Physics 1130 Distance Education 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. Many courses are available by distance education. For greater flexibility, TRU also offers the Associate of Science – Open Learning degree. Students may upgrade their prerequisites while enrolled in the Bachelor of Science program. Program Start Dates Students may enter the program in Fall, Winter, or Summer semester. Program Overview The associate degree is designed to provide an educational experience that lays a solid foundation for further study. Students are required to complete a broad range of course offerings balanced with in-depth study in science. Since many students will continue their studies, the requirements are sufficiently flexible to enable students to complete the required prerequisites for upper level course work in their intended major. 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. Program Requirements Sixty credits of first and second year courses (1000 and 2000 level), TRU. Note: No course may be used to meet more than one of the specific requirements. Admission Requirements Students entering the Associate of Science program are required to complete English 1100, along with specific science courses, which vary depending on the student’s intended major. (See below for details.) Areas of Study Prerequisites for English 1100 are English 12/English 12 First Peoples with a minimum of 73% within the last 5 years, or Level 5 on the composition section of the Language Proficiency Index (within the last 2 years) or completion of English 0600 or completion of ESAL 0570 and ESAL 0580 with a grade of C+ or better. Students may choose to concentrate their studies in one area of the sciences. Suggested areas of study include Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Geology, Mathematics, and Computing Science. Students who are interested in laddering credits from an Associate of Science degree into a Bachelor of Science degree should consult an Academic Advisor 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: Students interested in applying to science-based professional schools such as Medicine, Dentistry, Optometry and Veterinary Medicine should be aware that completion of an ASc degree does not qualify a student for entry to those programs. Students are generally required to have completed a minimum of three years of undergraduate studies in order to meet entry requirements. Students are encouraged to consult the calendars of the professional schools in which they are interested. Further information can be found under the Bachelor of Science degree program.

The four year dual credential program consists of a RT diploma and bachelor's degree in Health Science. Graduates of the three- or four-year program receive a Respiratory Therapy Diploma and are eligible to undertake the National Certification Examination for professional qualification as a Registered Respiratory Therapist. Learning Options Diploma or Degree There are several completion options in the Respiratory Therapy program: • • • 3-year Diploma stream 4-year dual Diploma/Degree stream (RT/BHSc) 2-year Diploma for students with a BSc degree (aka Fasttrack) • Joint 3-year RT Diploma and Masters in Education The dual Diploma/Degree stream allows successful students to graduate with both a 3-year RT diploma and a Bachelor of Health Science Degree within a four-year period. Year one is the same for both RT Diploma and Dual credential. Students declare interest to enter into the dual Diploma/Degree stream or during year one of the program. Full-time Study In order to complete the diploma within 3 years or the dual credential within 4 years, students need to be studying on a full-time basis. On-campus Year 1 & 2 courses of the diploma stream and Year 1, 2 and 3 courses of the dual diploma/degree stream are offered on the Kamloops Campus. The courses in the final year (year 3 of the Diploma stream and year 4 of the dual credential stream) are delivered at clinical affiliate sites. Distance Education Students accepted into the Fast-track option are required to complete 4 distance courses through TRU-OL prior to entry into program. Students enrolled in the dual Diploma/Degree stream, may take their non-RESP courses either on campus or via distance. The required HLTH courses for the BHSc degree are taken as distance courses. Program Overview Respiratory Therapy (RT) is an allied health discipline devoted to the scientific application of technology in order to assist in the diagnosis, treatment, management and care of patients with respiratory and 200 associated disorders. Respiratory Therapists are important members of modern hospital medical teams. TRU is the only educational institution in British Columbia to offer a program in Respiratory Therapy (RT). The program is accredited by the Canadian Society of Respiratory Therapists. Following completion of studies at TRU campus, the student completes an 11 month clinical internship at accredited hospitals affiliated with TRU. The clinical year begins in early June, with students spending time at various hospitals gaining exposure to all aspects of the duties of a Respiratory Therapist. Clinical year students will rotate between hospitals in the Interior, Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island. Applicants must be prepared to relocate as required. Specific rotations cannot be guaranteed. Following successful completion of the diploma program the graduate is eligible to sit the National Certification Examination which grants the professional qualification of R.R.T. (Registered Respiratory Therapist). The Fast-track option is also unique to the Respiratory Therapy program at TRU. This option gives recognition to a student’s BSc and allows the student to complete the RT diploma within 2 years (1 academic year and 1 clinical year). Another unique and new option to the TRU-RT program is the possibility of obtaining a joint RT Diploma and Masters in Education degree within 3 years. This option is open to students who already have a BSc degree and would normally qualify for the Fast-track RT stream. Students would divide their RT courses and MEd courses over 4 semesters (2 years) followed by a clinical year. There is limited space for this option. Students must apply for both the RT program and the MEd program individually. Contact the Academic Coordinator for more information at lmueller@tru.ca Program Costs In addition to tuition and fees students should plan to budget for the following (costs are subject to change): • • • • Students are encouraged to join the CSRT early in the first year. A three-year membership is $100. Clinical year students (or graduates) will need to pay a $700 fee for the RRT credential exam. Relocation: Students must be prepared to relocate to the Lower Mainland, Victoria, or Kelowna for all or part of third year. Med program costs are separate from RT program costs. Admission Requirements As there are a limited number of seats, applications should be submitted early. It is important to complete all aspects of the application. Students must attend a program information session (details at www.tru.ca/science/programs/rt/information_sessions or arrange a visit to a large hospital that has an active RT department. Prior to going for a hospital visit, applicants must complete the questionnaire found at the web address listed above. Out-of-province students or students unable to attend a program information session can meet this requirement via a telephone interview with the Academic Coordinator. Email lmueller@tru.ca to set up interview appointments.

This fast-track option requires the student to successfully complete 4 distance courses prior to entry into the 2nd year of the Fall semester. Alternatively, applicants with a science associate or undergraduate degree who are not admitted into the Fast-track option may be eligible for advanced placement into year one, semester two. Contact the Academic Coordinator for more information regarding this. Course transcripts will be reviewed for advanced credits. Application Process Prospective students must submit a completed application form together with documentation of the items listed under General Requirements. The application should include evidence of meeting all program prerequisites. Applications for the September intake are accepted starting October 1. Application Deadlines Admission Requirements package and the application form are available at tru.ca/admissions First year applicants will be notified of their application status by the end of April. Fast-track applicants will be notified in early March. Note: Acceptance is conditional based on receipt of final grades. Immunization forms and Criminal Record Check (CRC) consent forms will be sent to the student once they’ve been accepted into the program. Students are required to submit the completed immunization record and CRC consent forms within one month after their start date. Selection Criteria Admission into the Respiratory Therapy Program is determined by a selective admission process based on academic qualifications. Applicants who meet the minimal education requirements for admission are ranked and selected for admission according to the following: • • Highest GPA in high school and post-secondary education Number of years of post-secondary education • Number of completed post-secondary science courses Year 2/3 – Winter Semester RESP 2640 Application of Mechanical Ventilation (L) Criminal Record Check RESP 2600* Respiratory Pathophysiology 2 RT applicants are required to undergo a criminal record check after they have been admitted to the program. A Criminal Record Check consent form is sent to applicants who are admitted to the program. TRU will initiate an on-line criminal record check request through the Ministry of Public Safety and Solicitor General on behalf of the students. Students will be charged a fee for the criminal records check along with their commitment fee. RESP 2620* Anaesthesia (L) RESP 2630 Neonatology (L) RESP 2710 Assessment and Interventions in Multisystem Disorders (L) Our clinical affiliates require a criminal record check prior to accepting students for clinical placement. Clinical agencies reserve the right to refuse to accept students with a criminal record. Not completing the clinical placements prevents a student from successfully completing the program.

Please see the Academic Coordinator for details regarding the dual diploma-degree stream. Full time dual credential students should be able to complete their degree within 4 years. For more information regarding Dual credential completion, contact the Program Chairperson dsheets@tru.ca. Promotion Policy An overall grade of C and a minimum mark of 50% on the final course/lab exam is required for a passing grade in each Respiratory course, PHYS 1580 and BIOL 1590/1690. 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 the student is granted academic probation. Academic probation applies to the student who attains a grade of C- in any one RESP or science course during a semester, but has a passing grade in all other courses in that semester. If a student fails to meet the pass mark in two or more courses during one semester they will fail, and be withdrawn from the program. Academic probation will not be granted two semesters in a row. If a student fails a course while on academic probation, they will not be granted probation and will be removed from the program. Graduation from the Respiratory Therapy Program requires that the student acquire an overall grade point average of 2.17. The graduate will receive a diploma in Respiratory Therapy. The diploma does not qualify the student to undertake employment as a registered respiratory therapist, but designates the student as a graduate therapist who is eligible to write the board examination. The Respiratory Therapy Program is academically rigorous with a heavier than average course load in all semesters. In order to be 202 successful in the program, students must be willing to dedicate a significant amount of time to their studies. • Level 2 - December to April - will be a further mastery of these same objectives. The year can be divided into three main areas of practice: 1. 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) within one calendar year. A failed course can only be repeated in the semester in which it is offered in the following year. The laboratory component of the failed course must also be repeated and lab marks will be integrated within the course. 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 he/she can show cause for being treated as a new student. Students re-entering the program may be required to challenge certain portions of courses in which they previously received credit so that currency of practical skills can be assessed. All students re-entering the program are reminded that they are subject to program completiontime 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. Diagnostics, which will include blood gas analysis, pulmonary function, electrocardiography, stress testing, bronchoscopy. 2. Therapy, which will include medical surgical rotation, pediatrics and nursery, and Respiratory Therapy Department. 3. Critical Care, which will include adult 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 the student is granted academic probation. The student will work the equivalent of 150 hours each month, and may be assigned shift work. Clinical training involves rotation between the accredited hospitals, and these rotations may be either: 1. Interior - Vancouver or Vancouver - Interior 2. Vancouver – Vancouver 3. Vancouver – Victoria or Victoria – Vancouver Year 3 RTCL 3040 Neonatal and Paediatrics Clinical 7 weeks RTCL 3110 Level 1 Clinical Rotation 22 weeks RTCL 3120 Level 2 Clinical Rotation 17 weeks RTCL 3040 Clinical Theory: Neonatal and Pediatrics 7 weeks RTCT 3110 Respiratory Therapy Clinical Theory (Level 1) June - November RTCT 3120 Respiratory Therapy Clinical Theory (Level 2) December - April Program Contact Program Chairperson 250.828.5465 Clinical Year (3rd year of the diploma and 4th year of the dual credential) The clinical year is designed to allow the student to gain practical experience in all aspects of Respiratory Therapy.

Applicants must have a minimum cumulative average of 70% in order to be considered for admission into the veterinary program. All grades are converted to a common scale for comparative purposes and this converted average will be used. The Western College of Veterinary Medicine has introduced an Educational Equity Program for Aboriginal students. In this program, a defined number of seats have been allocated for self-identified applicants of Aboriginal descent. For the purpose of admission, the documents that are accepted as proof of Aboriginal ancestry are listed in The University of Saskatchewan Calendar. Visit www.usask.ca/wcvm for details. Students whose alternative career goal is a bachelor's degree in science may complete all of their courses at TRU and then apply for admission to WCVM.

Apprentice Program Admissions 250.371.5659 1.866.371.5659 Carpentry and Joinery (Cabinetmaking) Program This 29 week program is an introduction to the Carpentry and Joinery trade. Theory and practice is offered to allow students to build numerous projects. Learning Options The Carpentry and Joinery (Cabinetmaking) program is offered as a fulltime, 29-week program. Program Start Dates Winter intake: January/February Overview Carpentry is the largest of all the trades in the building industry. It’s a trade in which a great deal of self-satisfaction and pride is associated with the work. Carpenters need to know how to use and maintain many types of hand and power tools, and must also understand the types and characteristics of the various materials and fasteners with which they work. Carpenters must be able to read blueprints and specifications for a particular project. Carpentry includes the layout of excavations and building lines. Carpenters may assemble concrete formwork and place the concrete. Carpentry also involves: the installation of floor beams, joists and subflooring; the construction of walls, stairs, and roof systems; and the installation of windows, doors, exterior siding, wall and ceiling coverings, cabinets, and trim. A carpenter may specialize in four basic categories within the trade: Formwork, Framing, Interior Finish, and Exterior Finish. In general, construction is balanced between the residential and commercial industries, and a carpenter may choose in which sector to work. Joiners build, repair and re-style wooden furniture, cabinets, fixtures and other products. There are many similarities with the carpentry trade, and both involve primarily working with wood. Joinery, however, tends to be more specialized. A Joiner is designated as a Cabinetmaker under the Inter-provincial Red Seal program. Using architectural drawings, Joiners often operate woodworking machines to cut and form parts, which they then assemble into finished products. Some specialize in custom-made furniture. Preparation of costs estimates is often a key skill and responsibility. 224 The Joinery (Cabinetmaking) trade is a highly rewarding woodworking specialization with emphasis placed on high degrees of accuracy, fit and finish, cost effectiveness and overall craft professionalism. A journeyperson joiner working for a shop or operating his or her own company would be expected to build a variety of items such as kitchen cabinets, furniture, shelving units for stores and millwork. The joiner is required to envision how an item will be constructed, create a detailed shop drawing with a cut list for the item, build and assemble all the components, and then apply the required finishing material. Many Joiners work in the construction industry. Increasingly, Joiners are tasked with installing pre-manufactured cabinets and fixtures.

Welding Trades Programs Training Options The TRU School of Trades and Technology has four training options for welders: • Foundation Training: Entry-level training for those with minimal or no experience • Apprenticeship Training: Advanced training for registered apprentices • Modular Training: Advanced training for those who are not registered apprentices • Continuing Studies: 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. In general, 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. They generally plan work from drawings or by analyzing damaged metal, using their knowledge of welding and metals. Welders 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. 228 Welders use blueprint symbols to determine machining operations. They check product specifications using precision measuring instruments, and maintain equipment and replace parts when required. They also transport materials to work areas using cranes or hoists. 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. Good communication skills are also important. A willingness to continue training and taking specialized training courses is usually necessary in order to be successful. Most people in these occupations work 40 hours per week. Some mills and processing plants operate on shifts during days, nights and weekends. Please note: The BC provincial welding program is currently under review and subject to changes in the near future regarding curriculum and work based hours.
