Retention of Work (Interactive Multimedia and DesignProgram Only)A portfolio represents a record of the student's progressand design experience over the years, and is anindispensable requirement for any future job application.A portfolio is started in first year and continues to expanduntil graduation. The School, therefore, requires that eachstudent produce reproductions (on a digital storage device,e.g. flash drive) of their work at the end of each term. Onecopy of the work should be put in the student's portfolioand the other turned in to the instructor for retentionin the School's archives. (This facilitates retrospectiveexhibitions of work, accreditation, publications and anyfuture references for pedagogic purposes.) Original workis the property of the students, but the School retains theright to keep work of merit for up to four years after thedate of submission. The School will make every effortto preserve the work in good condition, and will giveauthorship credit and take care of its proper use.

RegulationsThe regulations presented in this section apply to allstudents in the Bachelor of Information Technologyprogram.

In addition to the program requirements, studentsmust satisfy the University regulations common toall undergraduate students including the process ofAcademic Performance Evaluation (consult the AcademicRegulations of the University section of this Calendar).

Joint StatusA student registered in the BIT degree has student statusat both Algonquin College and Carleton University. AtAlgonquin College the student is considered to be a post-secondary student; at Carleton University, the student is

considered to be a degree student. Students registered inthe BIT degree have access to all student services on theCarleton University campus and selected services on theAlgonquin College campus.

Academic RegulationsThe academic regulations governing the B.I.T. are theacademic regulations of Carleton University. Theseregulations are defined in full in the Academic Regulationsof the University section of this Calendar and apply toB.I.T. students on both campuses. Within the context ofthese regulations, B.I.T. is considered to be a Generaldegree with a defined Major CGPA and requires 20.0credits. Courses with the designations BIT, NET or IMDare not normally transferable to Engineering, ComputerScience or other programs at Carleton University.

Students should note that there are significant differencesbetween the academic regulations of Carleton Universityand Algonquin College; it is the regulations of CarletonUniversity that apply in all cases as related both to courseregistrations and program rules.

At Carleton University, the chief examination officerof the BIT is the Dean of Engineering and Design. AtAlgonquin College, grades are approved by the Dean ofthe respective School.

GraduationIn order to graduate with the Bachelor of InformationTechnology Degree and the Advanced Diploma ofTechnology or Advanced Diploma of Applied Arts, thestudent must:

1. satisfy all requirements for the program of study;2. be recommended for graduation by Bachelor of

Information Technology Academic Council;3. be approved for graduation by the Senate of Carleton

University;4. be approved for graduation by the Registrar of

Algonquin College.

DisciplineThe regulations, procedures and sanctions that applyto student discipline on either campus, both concerningInstructional Offences and Offences of Conduct arethose of Carleton University and are described in theCarleton University Undergraduate Calendar. However,while students are on Algonquin's campus, they areexpected to follow Algonquin's Directives regardingStudent Misconduct and Use of Electronic Devices.

Co-operative EducationFor more information about how to apply for the Co-opprogram and how the Co-op program works please visitthe Co-op website.

All students participating in the Co-op program aregoverned by the Undergraduate Co-operative EducationPolicy.

4 Information Technology

Undergraduate Co-operative Education PolicyAdmission RequirementsStudents can apply to co-op in one of two ways; directlyfrom high school or after beginning a degree program atCarleton.

If a student is admitted to co-op from high school, theirgrades will be reviewed two terms to one year prior totheir first work term to ensure they continue to meet theacademic requirements after their 1st or 2nd year of study.The time at which evaluation takes place depends on theprogram of study. Students will automatically be notifiedvia their Carleton email account if they are permitted tocontinue.

Students not admitted to Carleton University with the co-op option on their degree can apply for admission viathe co-operative education program website. To viewapplication deadlines, visit carleton.ca/co-op.

Admission to the co-op option is based on the completionof 5.0 or more credits at Carleton University, the CGPArequirement for the students' academic program as wellas any course prerequisites. The articulated CGPA foreach program is the normal standard for assessment.Please see the specific degree program sections for theunique admission and continuation requirements for eachacademic program.

English Language ProficiencyStudents admitted to Carleton based on CAEL, IELTSor TOEFL assessments and who are required to take anESL course must take and pass the Oral Proficiency inCommunicative Settings (OPECS) Test. The test must betaken before being permitted to register in COOP 1000.Admission to the co-op program can be confirmed with aminimum score of 4+.

Participation RequirementsCOOP 1000Once a student has been given admission or continuationconfirmation to the co-op option s/he must complete andpass COOP 1000 (a mandatory online 0.0 credit course).Students will have access to this course a minimum of twoterms prior to their first work term and will be notified whento register.

Communication with the Co-op OfficeStudents must maintain contact with the co-op officeduring their job search and while on a work term. Allemail communication will be conducted via the students'Carleton email account.

EmploymentAlthough every effort is made to ensure a sufficientnumber of job postings for all students enrolled in theco-op option of their degree program, no guarantee ofemployment can be made. Carleton's co-op programoperates a competitive job search process and isdependent upon current market conditions. Academicperformance, skills, motivation, maturity, attitude andpotential will determine whether a student is offered a job.It is the student's responsibility to actively conduct a jobsearch in addition to participation in the job search process

operated by the co-op office. Once a student accepts a co-op job offer (verbally or written), his/her job search will endand access to co-op jobs will be removed for that term.Students that do not successfully obtain a co-op work termare expected to continue with their academic studies. Thesummer term is the exception to this rule. Students shouldalso note that hiring priority is given to Canadian citizensfor co-op positions in the Federal Government of Canada.

Registering in Co-op CoursesStudents will be registered in a Co-op Work Term coursewhile at work. The number of Co-op Work Term coursesthat a student is registered in is dependent upon thenumber of four-month work terms that a student accepts.

While on a co-op work term students may take a maximumof 0.5 credit throughout each four-month co-op work term.Courses must be scheduled outside of regular workinghours.

Students must be registered as full-time before theybegin their co-op job search (2.0 credits). All co-op workterms must be completed before the beginning of the finalacademic term. Students may not finish their degree on aco-op work term.

Work Term Assessment and EvaluationTo obtain a Satisfactory grade for the co-op work termstudents must have:

1. A satisfactory work term evaluation by the co-opemployer;

2. A satisfactory grade on the work term report.

Students must submit a work term report at the completionof each four-month work term. Reports are due on the16th of April, August, and December and students arenotified of due dates through their Carleton email account.

Workplace performance will be assessed by the workplacesupervisor. Should a student receive an unsatisfactoryrating from their co-op employer, an investigation bythe co-op program manager will be undertaken. Anunsatisfactory employer evaluation does not preclude astudent from achieving an overall satisfactory rating for thework term.

Graduation with the Co-op DesignationIn order to graduate with the co-op designation, studentsmust satisfy all requirements for their degree programin addition to the requirements according to each co-opprogram (i.e. successful completion of three or four workterms).

Note: Participation in the co-op option will add up to oneadditional year for a student to complete their degreeprogram.

Voluntary Withdrawal from the Co-op OptionStudents may withdraw from the co-op option of theirdegree program during a study term ONLY. Students atwork may not withdraw from the work term or the co-opoption until s/he has completed the requirements of thework term.

UNOFFICIAL 2020-2021 Carleton University Undergraduate Calendar 5

Students are eligible to continue in their regular academicprogram provided that they meet the academic standardsrequired for continuation.

Involuntary or Required Withdrawal from the Co-opOptionStudents may be required to withdraw from the co-opoption of their degree program for one or any of thefollowing reasons:

1. Failure to achieve a grade of SAT in COOP 10002. Failure to pay all co-op related fees3. Failure to actively participate in the job search process4. Failure to attend all interviews for positions to which
