AUTHENTIC INDEPENDENT CONNECTED CREATIVE DYNAMIC General Information (listed alphabetically) Seamless Admission to The University of Winnipeg The Collegiate and The University of Winnipeg have a seamless admission process in place that accelerates admission into first year university for Collegiate students. All Collegiate students meeting the academic requirements for attending The University of Winnipeg will receive an offer of acceptance. They will not be charged the regular application fee and they will be offered final acceptance in April, once their final Grade 12 marks are calculated. Collegiate students will be able to receive their academic advising directly from The Collegiate rather than having to meet with a University advisor. They have the opportunity to plan their University timetable early, thus avoiding scheduling problems, and they will automatically be eligible for University of Winnipeg Entrance Scholarships. Appeals The Collegiate has established a policy and procedure to deal with requests for appeals against grades on individual items of work and for appeals against the final grade in a course. As strict deadlines are involved in launching an appeal, students are advised to get a copy of the complete Collegiate Appeals Policy and Procedure from one of the Associate Deans. Attendance The Collegiate attendance policy is a key component in helping students prepare to handle responsibly the personal independence inherent in a post-secondary academic environment. Successfully monitoring and supporting attendance is an ongoing process that requires some teamwork. Students are expected to attend every class except for medical or other valid reasons. Instructors take attendance in each and every class, and submit their attendance records to The Collegiate office at the end of each week. Associate Deans monitor attendance and intervene when problems arise. Normally we do not call parents. In keeping with our philosophy of treating students as mature individuals, we always deal with the student first. Parents can help by regularly discussing school with their son or daughter and being attentive to evidence that the student is keeping up with regular homework. Make a note of when reports will be issued and when Meet the Faculty Nights are scheduled. Although we will rarely, if ever, contact parents directly about a student’s attendance, they are always welcome to contact us. Course Changes and Withdrawals Course changes and withdrawals must be approved by a Dean or the Office Manager/Registrar. Details as to procedures will be published in The Collegiate Student Handbook (available the first week of classes). Counselling Services Course selection advice and academic counselling are provided to all students as part of their in-person registration. Students are free to drop in or make an appointment with one of The Collegiate Associate Deans for counselling on academic and personal matters. Referral may also be made to Student Counselling Services at The University of Winnipeg. In addition, The Collegiate can access a wide range of services including academic and vocational counselling, learning skills, learning assessment, and referral for psychological testing, as well as university and college information and advising. Deferred Examinations A student may be required to defer the writing of a final examination in one or more subjects on the grounds of illness or other compassionate reasons. A student may request permission to defer one or more examinations. Examinations Students must write final examinations, where required. Those students who are absent from examinations will be given a grade of NP (no paper), except in the cases of students who produce evidence of having been prevented from writing examinations as a result of illness or for some other acceptable reason. In the case of application for deferred examinations on account of illness or other disability or affliction, notification of inability to sit for examinations must be made to the Dean within seven days of the onset of the illness or disability and must be accompanied or followed shortly by a medical certificate or an otherwise appropriate document stating the nature of the illness or other acceptable reason. Grading Final grades in The Collegiate are in the form of percentage grades with associated values as below: Mark Value Description 90-100 Exceptional 80-89 Excellent 75-79 Very Good 70-74 Good 65-69 Above Average 55-64 Average 50-54 Marginal Pass Less than 50 Fail No Paper Fail Deferred Exam Deferred Graduation Diplomas A Collegiate Graduation Diploma will be awarded to each student who completes the requirements of the Manitoba High School program at The Collegiate at The University of Winnipeg, with the exception of visiting students. 1 0 T H E C O L L E G I A T E 2 0 1 1 – 2 0 1 2
