ADVANCED STANDINGStudents may receive advanced standing for up to75% of the content of the program to which theyhave been admitted on the basis of successful com-pletion of this content in the same or similar pro-grams at another college and as assessed by theCollege.

Applicants who wish to be considered for advancedstanding should submit an application with the fol-lowing documents:1.Proof of high school completion;2.Official transcript(s);3.Calendar description of the courses claimed for

credit.

Deadline for receipt of applications by the Registraris four weeks following registration date.

Students seeking advanced standing will not beexcused from any course until written authority hasbeen received from the office of the Registrar.

TRANSFER OF CREDIT STATUSTransfer of credit status is awarded for any coursecompleted at the Marine Institute or at any one of theformer Colleges provided that the course uses thesame course description. When Transfer of Credit isawarded, the College will accept the passing gradeas awarded by the institution and this mark will beused in the calculation of the G.P.A.

EXEMPTION STATUSExemption status is granted if the course has a mini-mum of 70% equivalency in the course materialrequired. When exemption status is awarded, nomark is reported on the transcript and the G.P.A. isnot affected. The College will consider exemptionsfor courses if the student received a passing grade.

The College will accept any credit course from a rec-ognized public post-secondary institution as anexemption for an elective even if that course is notoffered at the College. For example, a course inLinguistics from MUN would be considered to haveequivalent value to any other “elective” and, onrequest, could be granted exemption as a generalelective. In some programs electives must be chosenfrom a designated group of courses, in which case ageneral elective cannot be used as a substitute.

CREDIT FOR PRIOR LEARNINGIt is the policy of the College that students will begiven every opportunity to receive credit for pastlearning experience through a comprehensive sys-tematic process of evaluation referred to as PriorLearning Assessment and Recognition.

Credits awarded for Prior Learning Assessment andRecognition will be recorded on the student tran-script as an exemption or as a mark.

There will be no change for Prior LearningAssessment and Recognition for students who are

enrolled on a full-time basis and whose status willremain full-time after the credit is awarded for thecourse in which Prior Learning Assessment andRecognition was granted. Part-time students will beassessed $50.00 per course for each Prior LearningAssessment and Recognition assessment.

The maximum number of credits that can beawarded through the Prior Learning Assessmentprocess is 75% of the number required to completethe certificate/diploma.

BLOCK TRANSFER/ADVANCED STANDINGThe College will recognize course work completed inother programs/courses that fulfill the requirementsfor a designated percentage of the program in whichthe student is now applying. When students aregranted a block transfer, their academic grades willbe calculated beginning at the point of entry to theprogram.

CREDIT SYSTEMA credit is a weighted value of a course based on thedepth and breadth of the learning objectives.

For the purpose of assigning credit values, the meas-urement of learning objectives is usually accom-plished by equating the value with the period of timescheduled to deliver the content in the conventionallecture methodology as follows:

Learning Objectives scheduled for delivery in a onehour period per week per semester constitutes a onecredit value; therefore a course that is scheduled forthree hours per week per semester represents athree credit value. However, a recognized laboratoryexperience is usually measured in the following man-ner:2 – 4 hrs. of lab/week/semester is equivalent to one

credit5 – 7 hrs. of lab/week/semester is equivalent to two

credits 8 – 10 hrs. of lab/week/semester is equivalent to

three credits.

However, the actual process in achieving compe-tency in specified learning objectives can be accom-plished via a second equally legitimate andpedagogically sound methodology; that is, individual-ized, student-centered. In this latter methodologywhich embraces distance delivery, time is a flexiblefactor, fixed schedules do not apply and the processis student driven. This is in contrast to the conven-tional lecture mode which is teacher-directed withfixed learning times and schedules. The one constantfor both modes is the set of learning objectives.Therefore, credit value is assigned by determiningthe equivalent time required if the learning objectiveswere delivered in the conventional mode and apply-ing the formula as described under the definition of acredit.

Grade Point Marking SystemThe percentage mark in any course is converted to agrade point according to the following table:

80% and over 470% - 75% 360% - 65% 250% - 55% 1Below 50% 0

The grade point average is obtained by multiplyingthe credit value of each course in the program by thegrade point obtained in that course. The sum of allthe products is then divided by the total number ofcredits.

When a course is repeated or a supplementaryexamination is written, the highest mark attained willbe used in the calculation of the grade point average.

When students complete more than the minimumnumber of electives, students are able to selectwhich electives will be used in the calculation of theG.P.A. by making application at the Registrar’s Office.Without such application the Registrar will select forcalculation purposes the required number of elec-tives as recorded chronologically on the transcript.

ACADEMIC STATUS1.Clear Standing

A.Students are in clear standing when they havepassed all courses and have attained a gradepoint average of at least 2.0

Special ServicesServices & Programs for Persons with DisabilitiesAll campuses at College of the North Atlantic willoffer inclusive programming to all students whoapply. The College recognizes the ultimate purpose oftraining will be the eventual integration of all personsinto the mainstream of post-secondary education, thecommunity and society. To this end, the College hasdeveloped a four stage service delivery model thatwill complement current college operations, andincrease service delivery to a wide range of studentsin specific areas. In addition, this model will allowCollege of the North Atlantic to respond to students incases where their special needs are identified afterregistration.

STAGE 1 REGULAR COLLEGE CURRICULUM,PROGRAMS, & COURSESApplicants who meet entrance requirements and donot request “Accommodation” on the applicationform.

Stage 1 includes all courses and programs offered bythe College at all campuses. This stage is intended forall students and is based on the rationale that forsome students with special needs the regular Collegecurriculum at the campus they are enrolled in will besufficient to meet their needs, interests and abilities.An example of students in Stage 1 could include astudent with a physical disability who is a wheel-chair user and can access regular College programswithout support.

STAGE 2 REGULAR COLLEGE CURRICULUM,PROGRAMS, & COURSES WITH SUPPORTSApplicants who meet entrance requirements andrequest “Accommodation” on application form.

Stage 2 focuses on providing support to students pur-suing a regular College curriculum. Based on the reg-ular curriculum, decisions are made regardingaccommodations (adaptations to learning resourcesand instruction, adaptations to learning environment,instructional techniques, evaluation procedures, etc.)to support individual student needs. Making accom-modation does not mean adding, deleting, or alteringcourse objectives or changing the curriculum. Collegeof the North Atlantic intends to provide the student anopportunity to master the curriculum.

STAGE 3 MODIFIED COLLEGE CURRICULUM,PROGRAMS, & COURSESApplicants who do not meet entrance requirementsand request “Accommodation” on application form.

Stage 3 involves the actual changing of course objec-tives to meet the needs of a student with specialneeds. The individualized curriculum will be devel-oped and decided by the Individual Support ServicePlanning Team (ISSPT). Students who complete amodified program will receive a Record ofAchievement to document their areas of competency.Students applying for admission to Stage 3 shouldpossess appropriate documentation outlining theirneeds to be submitted with their application, and fol-low an admissions process that ensures the neces-sary modified curriculum with supports be in placeprior to entry to the College of the North Atlantic.

STAGE 4 ALTERNATE COLLEGE CURRICULUMApplicants who do not meet entrance requirementsand request “Accommodation” on application form.

Stage 4 consists of a curriculum based on studentswith special individual needs, as they relate toemployability and career goals. This individualizedcurriculum (Employability Skills Training) is decidedon and developed by an ISSP team. The alternate cur-riculum does not include regular courses, but ratherareas that need to be developed based on the stu-dent’s needs. Students applying for admission toEmployability Skills Training should possess appropri-ate documentation outlining their needs to be submit-ted with their application and follow an admissions process that ensures the necessary cur-riculum with supports be in place prior to entry toCollege of the North Atlantic.

Also upon completion studentswill be awarded a Diploma in Early ChildhoodEducation.

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTSStudents should have minimally two years of workexperience in a child care setting and meet theentrance requirements for mature students. Highschool graduation is recommended for successfulcompletion of course work, however some remedialassistance is available for those students requiringadditional help.

LOCATIONThe distance education program is availableprovince-wide with summer institutes held at thePrince Philip Drive campus, St. John’s.

PROGRAM OF STUDIESContinuing education recognizes that mature individu-als bring a wealth of knowledge to their studies andthat education must be responsive to their needs. Forthis reason this program is presented in a learningoutcomes format. This means that the program ofstudies is designed to reflect the knowledge, skillsand attitudes of practising early childhood educatorsin order to provide developmentally-appropriate pro-grams for young children.

SUMMER INSTITUTESStudents in the distance education program will berequired to complete four practicum institutes on siteat the college. Each institute is three weeks in dura-tion, and students will participate in seminars,demonstrations, workshops and field placement. Animportant component of work in child care is develop-mentally-appropriate practice, therefore there will beperformance evaluation of all general areas of com-petence. Some of this will take place during fieldplacement in summer institutes. Qualified instructorswill also visit each student in their place of employ-ment for further assessment of their practice.

CREDIT TRANSFER INVOLVING EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION PROGRAMThe following table provides an overview of currentcredit transfer arrangements with the Early ChildhoodEducation Diploma program.

The modular format developed for the distance edu-cation delivery method is derived from the competen-cies and learning outcomes of the full-time program.The distance program provides for students to workthrough an individualized education plan for theircourse work with the assistance of a tutor. This self-paced program provides the flexibility which assistsstudents in managing studies with work and familyresponsibilities. There is an on-site requirement tocomplete three summer institutes for practical work-shops, seminars and field placement.

In order to complete assignments in the distance pro-gram students must have regular access to an earlychildhood setting.

Music Industry and Performance

The Music Industry and Performance program isdesigned for students who wish to pursue a career asperformers in the Music industry. This industry hasbecome increasingly prominent in recent years asevidenced in a dramatic increase in the number ofsuccessful acts from the Atlantic Provinces. Eventssuch as the East Coast Music Awards and the JunoAwards highlight the success of such performers anddemonstrate that the region is generating a genre ofmusic that is gaining world wide popularity.

The intent of this program is to provide an opportunityfor students whose interests include country, tradi-tional, fusion, pop, rock, blues and other genres torefine their talent in the company of like-minded stu-dents while gaining exposure to all aspects of theindustry. From hands-on experience in the recordingstudio, scheduled performances in local venues andextensive exposure to sound business, marketing andpublic relations skills, students will be able to realisti-cally assess their prospects for success in a fiercelycompetitive industry. Indeed, some students maydetermine that they probably don’t have what it takesto succeed as a performer but are ideally suited for acareer as an agent or manager. In either instance, theprogram provides the skills which should ensure suc-cess.

It should be noted that the program is not designedfor students seeking a career in classical genres.Universities provide excellent programs for studentswhose talents rest in this area, and the Collegestrongly recommends these programs.

Note: Successful graduates from this program mayconsider returning to the College for a third year inwhich they can complete the Recording Arts diplomaprogram. This option allows for the completion of bothdiploma programs in three (3) years.

FUTURE OPPORTUNITIESGraduates from this program should not expect toenter into conventional 9-5 positions with establishedcompanies. The music industry is fuelled by a combi-nation of solid talent and strong managerial person-nel, and graduates can expect to operate asindependent entrepreneurs for some time until theyestablish partnerships with recording companies anddistributors. As such, the environment is challengingbut there are plenty of success stories.

OBJECTIVES1.To provide training in the technical and financial

aspects of the music industry.2.To provide an opportunity to review the history of

music and its evolution into distinct genres.3.To provide an opportunity to refine musical talent

and to demonstrate that talent through scheduledperformances in local venues.

4.To provide opportunities for the social and intellec-tual development of the student in order to meet thechallenges of a demanding industry.

ENTRANCE REQUIREMENTS1.A Provincial High School Graduation Certification

ADMISSIONS INFORMATIONIn adhering with our first-come, first-served policy ofadmission, we consider applicants for both the firstand second program choices that are identified/listedon the Program Preference Request Form. Thisprocess ensures that those applicants who appliedearly have an increased opportunity for placement inat least one of their choices. If the acceptance letterindicates that the applicant is accepted for the sec-ond choice, this indicates that the first choice wasalready full.

If the first choice is unavailable, and he/she isaccepted for a second choice then the first choice isimmediately dropped from the wait list. Applicantscannot request a change in program prior to entryinto the first year.

If applicants wish to change their program choice,there is a program transfer procedure in place. Thisapplies only after students are registered in year one.Students who wish to transfer into another programmust compete academically with all other studentswho apply to transfer to that same program. Thedeadline for applying for a program transfer isFebruary 15. Transfer forms are available at theRegistrar's Office and can be completed anytime afterregistration. Transfers are granted based on a) spaceavailability and b) first semester Grade Point Average.

Students who enrol in first year EngineeringTechnology without identifying a program choice fortheir second year, must be aware that there are no seats reserved for them in secondyear. They must compete academically with all stu-dents who request program transfers under the trans-fer policy.

Students who do not obtain their program preferenceand choose to wait an additional year before enrollingin the first year Engineering Technology, will remainon the Provincial Wait list. However it is importantthat students advise the campus of their intentions toremain on the wait list.

Modern medical technology utilizes many applica-tions of x-rays in the diagnosis and treatment of dis-eases. In keeping with the demands for theseapplications in a rapidly changing technologicalworld, it is essential that high standards in the train-ing of radiography technologists be maintained.

The radiography technologist is a valued member ofthe paramedical profession and as such becomes animportant member of the staff in a hospital, clinic orresearch centre. The radiography technologist isresponsible for the production and development ofradiographs while providing quality care for patientsentrusted to his/her care during radiological proce-dures. These radiological procedures may include avariety of examinations from the more simple basicexaminations to those which are more complexrequiring the use of highly specialized, sophisticated,and computerized equipment.

The techniques required in medical radiography dic-tate a high degree of skill and the qualified technolo-gist plays an important role in the early diagnosis,control and treatment of diseases. The radiographytechnologist will be a person having a keen sense ofresponsibility, a high degree of integrity, compassionand empathy for the sick, combined with desire toserve towards the prevention and treatment of humandiseases. The program is conducted at both theCollege and at the Health Care Corporation of St.John’s. During the training the student will receiveintensive theoretical instruction supplemented withpractical training in the hospitals.

Note: Applicants wishing to pursue a career inMedical Laboratory Sciences, Medical Radiographyor Respiratory Therapy will be considered for admis-sion to a common two-semester program. Selectionto the third semester (first Intersession) will be com-petitive and will occur at the end of the secondsemester.

OBJECTIVES1.To provide technical proficiency in all aspects of

medical radiography.2.To develop a sense of professionalism and respon-

sibility.3.To provide comprehensive knowledge of the haz-

ards involved and appropriate protection methods.4.To provide the community with trained personnel

who can serve their employers and the patient withthe highest degree of competence.

CURRICULUMThe first year of the program is academic, combininggeneral and specialized subject material. The secondyear is specialized with emphasis upon MedicalRadiography. Classroom and laboratory sessions aresupplemented by weekly assignments at the HealthCare Corporation of St. John’s.

The clinical phase of the program is designed to trainthe student in all the practical aspects of medicalradiography and to discipline the student to the work-ing conditions of the radiology department. This por-tion of the course is a clinical training period duringwhich the student will apply, under supervision, thetheories and principles learned during the previousyears of training.

The aims of this portion of the program are:1.To ensure that the student can accurately and con-

fidently perform the many and varied examinationsthat are carried out on a daily basis in a radiologydepartment.

2.To ensure that the student has performed the num-ber and variety of examinations required to com-plete the course.

The clinical phase will consist of three semesters oftraining. The program is conducted at sites of theHealth Care Corporation of St. John’s. Students willbe assigned to rotate through the four sites.

Students will receive instruction by the clinicalinstructors in radiographic procedures which canbest be demonstrated and observed under clinicalconditions, will receive review lectures, and will beevaluated academically and clinically to determinethe students eligibility to write national examinations.

Students will follow a rotation schedule designed toprovide broad clinical exposure to the different radi-ographic specialties. The aim of this rotation is toexpand the students practical knowledge relative toradiographic procedures and techniques which arenot normally performed in any one particular site.

Note: Students who graduate before January 1, 2005,will receive a diploma from the College and will beconsidered eligible to write the examinations set bythe Canadian Association of Medical RadiationTechnologists for national certification. Graduatesmay elect to further their studies and obtain aBachelor of Technology degree from MemorialUniversity of Newfoundland. Completion of the degreeprogram will be mandatory effective January 1, 2010.

Information Technology Programs

The Information Technology Industry would includeall those elements of the economy that are involved inthe collection, processing, management, retrieval andtransmission of data and information. Growth andchange characterize the information industry. It islikely that this dynamic environment will be reflectedin the number, type and location of IT programs asthe College strives to respond appropriately to thehuman resource needs of the sector.

The School of Information Technology offers pro-grams of study designed to prepare individuals for acareer of working on computers. That is the design,development, installation, maintenance and supportof computer hardware, software and networks. Otherprogram areas, for example, multi-media or geo-graphic information systems, commonly included inthe IT sector are offered by other College schools.

The programs currently offered by the IT Schoolinclude entry-level diploma programs as well as co-op, post-graduate and industry certification options.Continuing education courses related to computingand applications software are available for part-time

study at most campuses, and a limited number areavailable through distributed learning.

The courses in these programs have been carefullyselected and developed to assure learning outcomeswhich not only address technical and enabling aca-demic skills but also employability and soft skillsgeneric to the industry.

Students who have decided to become computer pro-grammers need to be aware of their aptitude for thisskill set. While math proficiency is an indicator, stu-dents are advised to write the Computer ProgrammerAptitude Battery (CPAB) Test, which is available atmost College campuses. This is not a pre-requisitebut should be used as a career advisory tool, espe-cially for applicants who are waitlisted forInformation Technology programs.

Applicants should also note that while mostInformation Technology programs have a work termor co-op feature, the College cannot guarantee place-ment in industry.

There will be a number of extended field experiencesin demanding environments which will develop stu-dents= inner strengths, group management and livingskills, and personal technical skills in a range of out-door pursuits: sea-kayaking, canoeing, cross-countryskiing, back-country skiing, camping, and back-pack-ing.

OBJECTIVES1. To provide learning opportunities for students to

develop the necessary knowledge and skills foremployment in the Adventure Tourism - OutdoorRecreation industry.

2. To provide students with opportunities to developappreciation and pride for our natural and socialhistories, and to develop skills to interpret them toothers.

3. To develop in students an acceptable entrancelevel competency in selected outdoor recreationactivities and to prepare them for various certifi-cates associated with the industry.

THE CONTEXTThe Diploma of Adventure Tourism - OutdoorRecreation is a two-year industry driven programbased in spectacular Western Newfoundland, 90 min-utes from Gros Morne National Park. The programhas access to two UNESCO World Heritage Sites,numerous National Historic Sites, and breathtakingnatural wilderness and ocean environments. It issupported by a world class public college systemwith an excellent transfer program with colleges anduniversities across Canada.

The Province of Newfoundland and Labrador has anadventure tourism product of world-class potential,and to become competitive in an international mar-ketplace the product, as well as the service, must beexceptional. This program has been designed toensure that the province will have highly skilled indi-viduals to fulfil the projected demand in the industry.

FUTURE OPPORTUNITIESTourism is a growth industry; and according to theWorld Tourism organization, it is now the largestindustry in the world. Adventure Tourism is thefastest growing sector of the industry, expanding at arate of 30% annually.

In this province, Adventure Tourism is in its infancyand therefore, employment opportunities continue togrow each year. There are recognizable peak sea-sons in the industry and they occur in the summermonths and, in some areas of the province, for a twoto three-month period in the winter. Job opportuni-ties in this province such as hard adventure tourguides, bus tour guides, cruise ship interpreters, areseasonal in nature and fall within the two peak sea-sons. In addition to these jobs, opportunities mayexist in the provincial and national parks as inter-preters, and program co-ordinators for youth campsand environmental education programs. Since amajor portion of programming deals with naturalresources, possibilities may exist in the area ofresources management.
