General Information<br />
Redeemer University College is an undergraduate Christian liberal<br />
arts and science university, offer<strong>in</strong>g courses and programs lead<strong>in</strong>g to a<br />
Bachelor’s Degree.<br />
Mission Statement<br />
The mission of Redeemer University College is: first, to offer a<br />
university level liberal arts and science education which is Scripturallydirected<br />
and explores <strong>the</strong> relation of faith, learn<strong>in</strong>g, and liv<strong>in</strong>g from a<br />
Reformed Christian perspective; and, second, to support research and<br />
creative endeavour <strong>in</strong> this context.<br />
Central to this mission are <strong>the</strong> follow<strong>in</strong>g objectives: to equip students<br />
for lives of leadership and service under <strong>the</strong> Lordship of Jesus Christ; to<br />
advance knowledge through excellence <strong>in</strong> teach<strong>in</strong>g and <strong>in</strong> scholarship;<br />
to be an academic community <strong>in</strong> which faculty, staff and students can<br />
develop <strong>in</strong>tellectually, socially, and spiritually; to reach out through<br />
academic service to society; and <strong>in</strong> all <strong>the</strong>se th<strong>in</strong>gs to glorify God.<br />
Vision Statement<br />
Redeemer’s vision is to be <strong>in</strong>ternationally engaged as an excellent<br />
liberal arts & science university that is unabashedly Christ-centred and<br />
prepares students to reflect a dist<strong>in</strong>ctive worldview <strong>in</strong> any vocation and<br />
place <strong>the</strong>y are called.<br />
This vision captures <strong>the</strong> bold faith that Redeemer’s leaders, faculty,<br />
staff, students and stakeholders hold for <strong>the</strong> future. There is a strong<br />
commitment to <strong>the</strong> Reformed Christian heritage and tradition upon<br />
which Redeemer was founded, and a great long<strong>in</strong>g to reach out <strong>in</strong>to <strong>the</strong><br />
wider world <strong>in</strong> a way that has impact for God’s glory.<br />
Institutional Purpose<br />
The overall purpose of <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>stitution is to equip students to fulfill<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir call<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> K<strong>in</strong>gdom of God by provid<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong>m with a<br />
post-secondary education that is grounded <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Scriptures. Such a<br />
Christian education will enable students to discern <strong>the</strong> biblical basis<br />
of a Christian worldview, to translate this worldview <strong>in</strong>to a systematic<br />
framework for academic work, to acquire an understand<strong>in</strong>g of <strong>the</strong><br />
profoundly religious nature of cultural formation and an historical<br />
awareness of <strong>the</strong> conflict<strong>in</strong>g spiritual roots of contemporary culture,<br />
and to apply and develop <strong>the</strong>se <strong>in</strong>sights <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> various liberal arts and<br />
science and <strong>in</strong> an area of discipl<strong>in</strong>ary specialization.<br />
Such an education will help streng<strong>the</strong>n students’ commitment to <strong>the</strong><br />
Christian faith and better prepare <strong>the</strong>m to exercise <strong>the</strong>ir God-given<br />
talents and abilities <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> full range of life’s call<strong>in</strong>gs and vocations.<br />
Students will be enabled to understand <strong>the</strong> times <strong>in</strong> which <strong>the</strong>y are<br />
liv<strong>in</strong>g and <strong>the</strong> direction <strong>in</strong> which <strong>the</strong>ir society is headed and to strive<br />
for <strong>the</strong> fur<strong>the</strong>rance of <strong>the</strong> Lordship of Christ <strong>in</strong> a life of service to God<br />
and <strong>the</strong>ir neighbour.<br />
The framework for this Scripturally-directed program of education is<br />
del<strong>in</strong>eated <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Statement of Basis and Pr<strong>in</strong>ciples, which is part of<br />
<strong>the</strong> charter of Redeemer University College. It is given expression <strong>in</strong> a<br />
number of Educational Guidel<strong>in</strong>es.<br />
Statement of Basis and Pr<strong>in</strong>ciples<br />
(This statement <strong>in</strong> its orig<strong>in</strong>al form is a found<strong>in</strong>g document adopted<br />
by <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>stitution’s membership <strong>in</strong> 1980. All references to “man” are<br />
<strong>in</strong>tended to be gender <strong>in</strong>clusive.)<br />
Our supreme standard is <strong>the</strong> Bible. The Scriptures, both Old and New<br />
Testament, reveal some basic pr<strong>in</strong>ciples relevant to education, which<br />
we affirm:<br />
Scripture. The Scriptures are <strong>the</strong> written and <strong>in</strong>spired Word of God,<br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>fallible and authoritative rule of faith for <strong>the</strong> direction of <strong>the</strong><br />
whole of life.<br />
Creation. God created and structured <strong>the</strong> universe <strong>in</strong> all its many ways<br />
by His Word. The mean<strong>in</strong>g of creation is focused <strong>in</strong> man, God’s imagebearer,<br />
with whom He has established a special covenant relationship<br />
<strong>in</strong> Jesus Christ.<br />
S<strong>in</strong>. Man’s disobedience, which brought God’s curse upon all<br />
mank<strong>in</strong>d, alienated man from his Creator, himself, his fellow man, and<br />
<strong>the</strong> rest of <strong>the</strong> creation; distorted his view of <strong>the</strong> mean<strong>in</strong>g and purpose<br />
of life; and misdirected human culture and learn<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
Redemption. Christ, <strong>the</strong> Word of God <strong>in</strong>carnate, is <strong>the</strong> only<br />
Redeemer, <strong>the</strong> Renewer of our whole life. He restores man and <strong>the</strong> rest<br />
of <strong>the</strong> creation to God and calls man back to his God-appo<strong>in</strong>ted task <strong>in</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> world.<br />
Human life. Man is by nature a religious be<strong>in</strong>g. All of human life,<br />
<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g educational work, must be understood as a response to <strong>the</strong><br />
one true God. Consequently, man serves ei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> Lord or a god of his<br />
own mak<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
Knowledge. True knowledge of God, ourselves, and <strong>the</strong> rest of <strong>the</strong><br />
creation is made possible only by means of a true faith <strong>in</strong> Jesus Christ,<br />
<strong>in</strong> whom are found all <strong>the</strong> treasures of wisdom and knowledge. True<br />
knowledge is atta<strong>in</strong>ed only when <strong>the</strong> Holy Spirit enlightens people’s<br />
hearts by <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>tegrat<strong>in</strong>g Word of God and sets <strong>the</strong>m <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> truth.<br />
However, by God’s gracious providence after <strong>the</strong> fall, those who reject<br />
<strong>the</strong> Word of God do provide many valuable <strong>in</strong>sights <strong>in</strong>to <strong>the</strong> structure<br />
of reality.<br />
Teach<strong>in</strong>g and Learn<strong>in</strong>g. In <strong>the</strong> context of <strong>the</strong>ir scholarship, <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>in</strong>structors at Redeemer University College are called to lead students<br />
toward a deeper understand<strong>in</strong>g of God’s world and its history and to<br />
help <strong>the</strong>m reach a cultural maturity grounded <strong>in</strong> biblical faith. In order<br />
to carry out this call<strong>in</strong>g, <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>structors and students should endeavour<br />
to discover God’s laws and <strong>the</strong> structures of <strong>the</strong> creation so that <strong>the</strong><br />
students may effectively take up <strong>the</strong>ir specific responsibilities and<br />
vocations <strong>in</strong> a way that will fur<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> com<strong>in</strong>g of <strong>the</strong> Lord’s K<strong>in</strong>gdom.<br />
We believe that this Statement of Basis and Pr<strong>in</strong>ciples is wholly <strong>in</strong><br />
harmony not only with Scripture but also with <strong>the</strong> historic creeds of<br />
<strong>the</strong> Reformation.<br />

Educational Guidel<strong>in</strong>es<br />
• In all courses students should receive <strong>in</strong>struction which meets high<br />
academic standards, both <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> level of understand<strong>in</strong>g which is<br />
demanded and <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> range of material covered.<br />
• Students must atta<strong>in</strong> a good understand<strong>in</strong>g of <strong>the</strong> basic <strong>the</strong>mes of<br />
biblical revelation, especially <strong>the</strong> all-embrac<strong>in</strong>g scope of creation,<br />
fall, and redemption.<br />
• Students should learn <strong>the</strong> rudiments of a philosophical framework<br />
which is shaped by a biblical worldview and gives some perspective<br />
on <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>terrelatedness of academic discipl<strong>in</strong>es.<br />
• Students should ga<strong>in</strong> a basic understand<strong>in</strong>g of <strong>the</strong> ma<strong>in</strong> historical<br />
movements of <strong>the</strong> West, with particular sensitivity to <strong>the</strong> variety of<br />
compet<strong>in</strong>g religious worldviews which have gone <strong>in</strong>to <strong>the</strong> mak<strong>in</strong>g of<br />
contemporary North American and, specifically, Canadian society.<br />
• Especially <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir areas of concentration, students should develop<br />
a sensitivity to <strong>the</strong> foundational questions <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir discipl<strong>in</strong>es, and<br />
be able to relate <strong>the</strong>m positively to a Christian philosophy and<br />
worldview.<br />
• Especially <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir areas of concentration, students should acquire<br />
some critical familiarity with <strong>the</strong> ma<strong>in</strong> compet<strong>in</strong>g schools and trends<br />
<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir discipl<strong>in</strong>es, both past and present.<br />
• Students should develop a well-<strong>in</strong>formed and critical awareness of<br />
<strong>the</strong> ma<strong>in</strong> features of contemporary Canadian society, and be able to<br />
relate <strong>the</strong>ir academic studies to a future vocation of Christian service<br />
<strong>in</strong> our society.<br />
Institutional History<br />
As early as <strong>the</strong> mid-1950s an attempt was made to establish an<br />
undergraduate university <strong>in</strong> Ontario with a Reformed Christian<br />
basis. However, it was not until 1975 that a detailed <strong>in</strong>vestigation<br />
was undertaken by a feasibility study committee. The result of that<br />
<strong>in</strong>vestigation was <strong>the</strong> establishment of <strong>the</strong> Ontario Christian College<br />
Association which came <strong>in</strong>to existence on November 13, 1976.<br />
The Board of Governors that was elected worked toward open<strong>in</strong>g<br />
such an <strong>in</strong>stitution <strong>in</strong> Ontario as soon as possible and <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> process<br />
consulted with a committee of Classis Hamilton of <strong>the</strong> Christian<br />
Reformed Church which had a similar aim. On December 12, 1980,<br />
<strong>the</strong> Ontario Legislature passed private member’s Bill 48, “An Act to<br />
Incorporate Redeemer Reformed Christian College.” With <strong>the</strong> grant<strong>in</strong>g<br />
of this charter, Redeemer College could become a reality.<br />
In September 1982, Redeemer College opened its doors for <strong>the</strong> first time,<br />
with 97 full-time and 63 part-time students. This number grew to about<br />
250 for <strong>the</strong> 1985-86 academic year, <strong>the</strong> f<strong>in</strong>al year classes met <strong>in</strong> facilities<br />
rented from <strong>the</strong> Board of Education of <strong>the</strong> City of Hamilton. In 1985, <strong>the</strong><br />
college purchased 78 acres of land <strong>in</strong> Ancaster for <strong>the</strong> construction of a<br />
new campus. The college occupied <strong>the</strong> new facilities <strong>in</strong> August 1986 and<br />
welcomed 279 full-time students <strong>in</strong> September. In November 1986, <strong>the</strong><br />
college held its first graduation, with 40 students graduat<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
On June 25, 1998, <strong>the</strong> Ontario Government passed Bill Pr17, which<br />
granted Redeemer College <strong>the</strong> authority to offer Bachelor of Arts and<br />
Bachelor of Science degrees. Prior to that time, <strong>the</strong> college conferred<br />
a Bachelor of Christian Studies degree which was recognized by<br />
<strong>the</strong> Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada (AUCC) as<br />
comparable to <strong>the</strong> Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree.<br />
As a university degree grant<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>stitution, Redeemer undergoes<br />
regular audits of its undergraduate programs, carried out under <strong>the</strong><br />
auspices of <strong>the</strong> Council of Ontario Universities (COU). In view of its<br />
status as an undergraduate university, <strong>the</strong> Ontario Legislature approved<br />
a change <strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>stitutional name to Redeemer University College on June<br />
22, 2000 (Bill Pr19).<br />
On June 26, 2003, <strong>the</strong> Ontario Government passed Bill Pr14, grant<strong>in</strong>g<br />
Redeemer <strong>the</strong> authority to offer a Bachelor of Education (B.Ed.)<br />
degree to replace its Bachelor of Christian Education (B.C.Ed.) degree.<br />
On December 10, 2003, this new teacher education (B.Ed.) program<br />
was granted <strong>in</strong>itial accreditation by <strong>the</strong> Ontario College of Teachers,<br />
giv<strong>in</strong>g Redeemer <strong>the</strong> only prov<strong>in</strong>cially recognized Christian teacher<br />
education program (K-10) <strong>in</strong> Ontario.<br />
Memberships<br />
At its annual meet<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> October 1987, <strong>the</strong> Association of Universities<br />
and Colleges of Canada (AUCC) unanimously granted Redeemer<br />
University College ord<strong>in</strong>ary membership <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> AUCC after it had<br />
provisional membership for two and a half years.<br />
In June 1986, Redeemer University College became <strong>the</strong> first Canadian<br />

Statement of Life and Conduct<br />
The follow<strong>in</strong>g statements are <strong>the</strong> application of Christian moral<br />
pr<strong>in</strong>ciples to <strong>the</strong> life and conduct of employees, students, and members<br />
of govern<strong>in</strong>g bodies of Redeemer University College. These statements<br />
have specific relevance to <strong>the</strong> legal right of <strong>the</strong> university to ensure <strong>the</strong><br />
preservation of its understand<strong>in</strong>g as a Christian educational community.<br />
I. Introduction<br />
Redeemer University College is a Reformed Christian liberal arts<br />
and science undergraduate university that seeks to foster patterns of<br />
faith and conduct that are <strong>in</strong> submission to <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>fallible Word of God<br />
(<strong>the</strong> Bible), and that flow out of <strong>the</strong> Reformed understand<strong>in</strong>g of <strong>the</strong><br />
Christian religion. As an educational community, we desire to foster<br />
an atmosphere of free, open and critical <strong>in</strong>quiry while also ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g<br />
patterns of belief and behaviour that promote <strong>the</strong> dist<strong>in</strong>ctively Christian<br />
framework with<strong>in</strong> which this <strong>in</strong>quiry occurs. Redeemer University<br />
College aims to foster an atmosphere where challeng<strong>in</strong>g, prob<strong>in</strong>g, and<br />
stimulat<strong>in</strong>g discussions may occur <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> context of <strong>the</strong> presuppositions<br />
and practices that foster a mature, biblically-grounded faith.<br />
A Christian approach to faith and practice seeks to promote freedom<br />
without becom<strong>in</strong>g ant<strong>in</strong>omian, and to promote responsibility without<br />
becom<strong>in</strong>g legalistic. The goal is to grow <strong>in</strong>to <strong>the</strong> maturity found <strong>in</strong><br />
Christ (Eph. 4:15), which manifests itself <strong>in</strong> faith express<strong>in</strong>g itself<br />
through love (Gal. 5:6).<br />
II. Assumptions And Pr<strong>in</strong>ciples<br />
Redeemer University College affirms <strong>the</strong> follow<strong>in</strong>g biblical pr<strong>in</strong>ciples<br />
as pert<strong>in</strong>ent for <strong>in</strong>dividual and corporate Christian life:<br />
1. Life with<strong>in</strong> a Christian community must be lived to <strong>the</strong> glory of<br />
God, <strong>in</strong> which we daily conform ourselves to <strong>the</strong> image of Christ<br />
and recognize <strong>the</strong> Lordship of Christ <strong>in</strong> every activity (Matt.22:36-<br />
38, I Cor.10:31, Col.3:9,10,17).<br />
2. Love and accountability to God should motivate Christian conduct<br />
(Deut.6:5, II Cor.5:10).<br />
3. Consistent with <strong>the</strong> example and command of Jesus Christ, love<br />
and justice must be <strong>the</strong> determ<strong>in</strong>ative factor <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> relationships of<br />
Christians with o<strong>the</strong>rs (John 15:12-17, I John 4:7-12).<br />
4. Christians bear responsibility for service to o<strong>the</strong>rs. They are<br />
responsible for serv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong>ir neighbours and be<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
process of alleviat<strong>in</strong>g such press<strong>in</strong>g worldwide problems as poverty,<br />
hunger, disease, illiteracy, sexism and racism (Matt.7:12, 25:31-46,<br />
Gal.5:14, 6:10).<br />
5. The actions of Christians with<strong>in</strong> a community are not solely a<br />
private matter. Accord<strong>in</strong>gly, members of <strong>the</strong> Redeemer community<br />
must hold <strong>the</strong>ir neighbours accountable for <strong>the</strong> implications of <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
conduct when it directly affects <strong>the</strong> welfare of community liv<strong>in</strong>g<br />
(Matt.18:15-17).<br />
6. The community collectively and members <strong>in</strong>dividually are<br />
responsible for <strong>the</strong> effective stewardship of abilities, opportunities<br />
and <strong>in</strong>stitutional resources (Luke 19:11-27, I Cor.4:2).<br />
7. Certa<strong>in</strong> actions are expressly prohibited <strong>in</strong> Scripture and are, <strong>the</strong>refore,<br />
wrong. Christians should avoid those practices which are called s<strong>in</strong>ful<br />
<strong>in</strong> Scripture. Similarly, Scripture commends some actions which are,<br />
<strong>the</strong>refore, right. There are o<strong>the</strong>r actions which are matters of <strong>in</strong>dividual<br />
conviction based on a given situation. In this latter area we must<br />
exercise care so as not to judge one ano<strong>the</strong>r nor to cause ano<strong>the</strong>r to<br />
stumble nor to cause ourselves to fall (Matt.7:1, Rom.14:1-23).<br />
8. Atta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g common goals and ensur<strong>in</strong>g orderly community life<br />
may necessitate <strong>the</strong> subord<strong>in</strong>ation of some <strong>in</strong>dividual prerogatives.<br />
Specifically, as servants of Christ we are called to practice<br />
forbearance. Christian freedom <strong>in</strong>cludes <strong>the</strong> option of not do<strong>in</strong>g<br />
some th<strong>in</strong>gs <strong>in</strong> order to contribute to <strong>the</strong> good of <strong>the</strong> larger<br />
community (I Cor.8:9-13, 9:19-23, 10:23-33).<br />
9. Christians are not asked to live <strong>the</strong> Christian life simply on <strong>the</strong><br />
basis of <strong>the</strong>ir own moral character and strength. God has provided<br />
<strong>the</strong> authoritative Word of Holy Scripture, <strong>the</strong> guid<strong>in</strong>g power of <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>in</strong>dwell<strong>in</strong>g Holy Spirit and <strong>the</strong> counsel of <strong>the</strong> Church--<strong>the</strong> body of<br />
believers, both past and present. Christians are expected to study<br />
and obey <strong>the</strong> Scriptures, to cultivate a heart attitude which allows<br />
for <strong>the</strong> guidance of <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>dwell<strong>in</strong>g Holy Spirit, and to give serious<br />
consideration to <strong>the</strong> counsel of <strong>the</strong> people of God (II Tim.3:16, II<br />
Peter 1:19-21, I John 2:27, I Peter 5:1-6).<br />
10.“Worldl<strong>in</strong>ess” is a subtle issue <strong>in</strong>volv<strong>in</strong>g uncritical conformity to<br />
<strong>the</strong> prevail<strong>in</strong>g spirit of <strong>the</strong> age. One’s disposition concern<strong>in</strong>g matters<br />
such as materialism, secularism, isolationism, security, success,<br />
<strong>in</strong>justice, hedonism, and moral relativism must stand <strong>in</strong> perpetual review.<br />
III. Standards Of Conduct<br />
In light of <strong>the</strong> above assumptions and pr<strong>in</strong>ciples of Christian conduct,<br />
members of <strong>the</strong> Redeemer University College community (staff,<br />
faculty, adm<strong>in</strong>istrators and members of govern<strong>in</strong>g bodies) are expected<br />
to pursue new life <strong>in</strong> Christ and students are also encouraged to do so<br />
as well as to respect and follow <strong>the</strong> conduct which is <strong>in</strong> accordance<br />
with this new life. This new life <strong>in</strong>volves <strong>in</strong>ner desires, attitudes and<br />
thoughts, and outward standards of behaviour. While <strong>the</strong> latter do<br />
not always accurately reflect <strong>the</strong> former, outward behaviour is often<br />
evidence of <strong>in</strong>ner desires, attitudes, and thoughts. Thus, <strong>the</strong> university<br />
community does require standards of conduct to promote and<br />
safeguard its educational goals.<br />
17
While recogniz<strong>in</strong>g that all Christians are <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> process of growth<br />
toward maturity <strong>in</strong> Christ, <strong>the</strong> Redeemer University College community<br />
f<strong>in</strong>ds certa<strong>in</strong> practices, and <strong>the</strong> promotion of such, unacceptable for<br />
its members. Members may, on occasion, fall <strong>in</strong>to <strong>the</strong>se practices as<br />
unfortunate exceptions to <strong>the</strong>ir normal way of life. However, unrepentant<br />
or persistent s<strong>in</strong>ful behaviours constitutes grounds for dismissal of<br />
students, staff, faculty and adm<strong>in</strong>istrators from Redeemer University<br />
College, and term<strong>in</strong>ation of membership on govern<strong>in</strong>g bodies.<br />
The unacceptable practices which students, faculty, staff,<br />
adm<strong>in</strong>istrators and members of govern<strong>in</strong>g bodies of Redeemer<br />
University College acknowledge as be<strong>in</strong>g with<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> jurisdiction of <strong>the</strong><br />
university community <strong>in</strong>clude:<br />
• Profane and blasphemous language<br />
• Substance abuse<br />
• Plagiarism or dishonesty<br />
• Theft or fraud<br />
• Racial prejudice and membership <strong>in</strong> organizations that promote it<br />
• Homosexual practice<br />
• Fornication, co-habit<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> a sexual relationship before marriage,<br />
and adultery<br />
• Sexual exploitation and pornography<br />
• Induced abortion (<strong>in</strong> non-life threaten<strong>in</strong>g situations)<br />
• The profession and practice of non-Christian religious beliefs and<br />
for students, <strong>the</strong> promotion of non-Christian religious beliefs<br />
• Violent or abusive behaviour<br />
• Sexual and gender harassment<br />
• Crim<strong>in</strong>al activity<br />
IV. Discipl<strong>in</strong>e<br />
The university will cont<strong>in</strong>ue to demonstrate love and compassion<br />
to any student, staff, faculty member, adm<strong>in</strong>istrator, or member of<br />
a govern<strong>in</strong>g body whose conduct appears to breach Biblical norms.<br />
Recogniz<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> heal<strong>in</strong>g power of Christ’s redemption, <strong>the</strong> university<br />
will explore possibilities of restoration. However, those who are<br />
unrepentant and who, by <strong>the</strong>ir own admission or by <strong>the</strong> weight of<br />
accumulated evidence, cont<strong>in</strong>ue to transgress, disregard, or disda<strong>in</strong><br />
Christian pr<strong>in</strong>ciples and practices, may be dismissed from studies or<br />
employment or membership <strong>in</strong> a govern<strong>in</strong>g body at <strong>the</strong> university.<br />
Such matters shall be addressed with<strong>in</strong> a reasonable amount of time.<br />
Those who jo<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Redeemer University College academic<br />
community do so voluntarily, accept<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> privileges and<br />
responsibilities that dist<strong>in</strong>guish it as a Christian academic community.<br />
This community seeks to <strong>in</strong>crease its understand<strong>in</strong>g of <strong>the</strong> Christian<br />
faith, and to apply that faith to all areas of life for <strong>the</strong> glory of God and<br />
<strong>the</strong> com<strong>in</strong>g of His K<strong>in</strong>gdom.<br />
Policy on Promot<strong>in</strong>g Respect of<br />
Persons<br />

Respect of Persons. The objectives of this policy are:<br />

each o<strong>the</strong>r with mutual respect;<br />
• to alert all members of <strong>the</strong> university community to <strong>the</strong> fact that<br />
harassment (<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g sexual harassment) and discrim<strong>in</strong>ation are<br />
demean<strong>in</strong>g practices that constitute a profound affront to <strong>the</strong> dignity<br />
of <strong>the</strong> person, and are an offence under <strong>the</strong> law;<br />
• to set out <strong>the</strong> types of behaviour that may be considered offensive<br />
and which will not be tolerated by <strong>the</strong> university;<br />
• to establish a mechanism for receiv<strong>in</strong>g compla<strong>in</strong>ts of harassment<br />
and discrim<strong>in</strong>ation and to provide a procedure by which <strong>the</strong><br />
university will deal with <strong>the</strong>se compla<strong>in</strong>ts;<br />
• to outl<strong>in</strong>e <strong>the</strong> preventative, remedial and discipl<strong>in</strong>ary actions that<br />
may be taken when a compla<strong>in</strong>t of harassment or discrim<strong>in</strong>ation has<br />
been brought forward or substantiated.<br />
Advisors have been appo<strong>in</strong>ted to assist anyone <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> university<br />

Awards, Bursaries and Scholarships<br />
Redeemer has established a number of scholarships, bursaries and<br />
awards to recognize academic success and provide f<strong>in</strong>ancial assistance<br />
to students. A scholarship is awarded solely on <strong>the</strong> basis of academic<br />
merit; a bursary is awarded on <strong>the</strong> basis of criteria which <strong>in</strong>cludes<br />
f<strong>in</strong>ancial need; an award can comb<strong>in</strong>e a variety of criteria <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g<br />
grades, program and o<strong>the</strong>r specific requirements. Students are eligible<br />
for scholarships, bursaries and awards (hereafter referred to as awards)<br />
only when <strong>the</strong>y are enrolled full-time <strong>in</strong> a degree program.<br />
Calculation of GPA for All Awards<br />
Eligibility for awards is based on full-time enrolment (4 courses<br />
or 12 credit hours) <strong>in</strong> both terms of an academic year at Redeemer<br />
University College. Grade po<strong>in</strong>t average (GPA) calculation is based on<br />
<strong>the</strong> previous year’s academic average (fall and w<strong>in</strong>ter term, full-time<br />
studies only), with <strong>the</strong> follow<strong>in</strong>g consideration granted:<br />
• Students with Disabilities: Those students who have a disability<br />
and are enrolled <strong>in</strong> 60% of a full course load will be eligible for<br />
full consideration for all awards. Each student’s situation will be<br />
reviewed on an <strong>in</strong>dividual basis.<br />
• For students who beg<strong>in</strong> full-time studies <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> w<strong>in</strong>ter term,<br />
eligibility for all awards offered <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> next year will be based on <strong>the</strong><br />
one-term average only.<br />
Disbursement of Awards<br />
All awards are disbursed 50% <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> fall term and 50% <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> w<strong>in</strong>ter<br />
term. To receive <strong>the</strong> full value of any award, a student must be enrolled<br />
<strong>in</strong> a m<strong>in</strong>imum of 4 courses (12 credit hours) <strong>in</strong> each term. A student<br />
who has received an award and enrols <strong>in</strong> 3 courses (9 credit hours) <strong>in</strong><br />
one term will receive <strong>the</strong> award on a pro-rated basis (60% of <strong>the</strong> award<br />
total) unless o<strong>the</strong>rwise stated <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> conditions of <strong>the</strong> specific award.<br />
Students who are academically eligible for awards, but who will not<br />
be pay<strong>in</strong>g full-time tuition due to pre-paid courses, will be eligible<br />
for a percentage of <strong>the</strong>ir award <strong>in</strong> proportion to <strong>the</strong> number of courses<br />
that must be paid for. For example, a student who needs to complete<br />
ten courses, eight of which are pre-paid courses, is eligible to be<br />
considered for one-fifth of a full award.<br />
Deferral of Awards: Students who take a year-long leave from <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
program at Redeemer will have <strong>the</strong>ir Redeemer University College<br />
Scholarship re<strong>in</strong>stated upon return, assum<strong>in</strong>g that <strong>the</strong> student does<br />
not complete any additional post-secondary studies. Students who<br />
withdraw dur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> academic year forgo all awards for that year.<br />
Named awards will not be deferred except as follows:<br />
• A student who is <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> third year of <strong>the</strong> Bus<strong>in</strong>ess Co-op program<br />
will be granted 50% of <strong>the</strong> award <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> fall term, and <strong>the</strong> residual<br />
will be credited to <strong>the</strong> student’s account <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> fall term of his or her<br />
fourth year.<br />
• A student who is <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> fifth and f<strong>in</strong>al year of <strong>the</strong> Bus<strong>in</strong>ess Co-op<br />

full amount of any named award. However, Redeemer University<br />
College Scholarships (page 27) will normally be pro-rated for a<br />
3 course (9 credit hours) term.<br />
• Bus<strong>in</strong>ess Co-op Program: Eligibility for all awards <strong>in</strong> year four will<br />

<strong>Academic</strong> Regulations<br />
Attendance<br />
The university expects students to attend all classes, sem<strong>in</strong>ars,<br />
tutorials, and laboratory sessions <strong>in</strong> which <strong>the</strong>y are enrolled.<br />
Participation <strong>in</strong> sem<strong>in</strong>ars, tutorials, and laboratories may, at <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>in</strong>structor’s discretion, count <strong>in</strong> determ<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> f<strong>in</strong>al grade. Faculty<br />
are required to <strong>in</strong>form <strong>the</strong> Registrar’s Office of any students who miss<br />
classes for more than three weeks. The Registrar’s Office will follow<br />
up and rem<strong>in</strong>d students of <strong>the</strong>ir obligations and <strong>the</strong> relevant policies.<br />
Aegrotat Stand<strong>in</strong>g<br />
In exceptional circumstances, upon <strong>the</strong> recommendation of <strong>the</strong> Dean of<br />
Students or <strong>the</strong> Registrar, <strong>the</strong> Chair of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong> Standards Committee<br />
may request aegrotat grades for a student who is unable to complete<br />
academic requirements for a term. Normally, <strong>the</strong> student must have<br />
completed at least fifty percent of <strong>the</strong> course work. If an <strong>in</strong>structor feels<br />
that an aegrotat grade would not be representative of how <strong>the</strong> student<br />
would have done <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> outstand<strong>in</strong>g course work, no aegrotat grade will<br />
be awarded. Aegrotat grades will be reflected on <strong>the</strong> transcript but will not<br />
be calculated <strong>in</strong>to <strong>the</strong> cumulative grade po<strong>in</strong>t average. A statement at <strong>the</strong><br />
bottom of <strong>the</strong> transcript will <strong>in</strong>dicate <strong>the</strong> aegrotat stand<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
Evaluation and Grad<strong>in</strong>g<br />
At <strong>the</strong> beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g of each course, <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>structor, by way of <strong>the</strong> course<br />
syllabus, will expla<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> manner <strong>in</strong> which students will be evaluated,<br />
<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> nature of work required, its contribution to <strong>the</strong> f<strong>in</strong>al<br />
grade, and <strong>the</strong> weight of <strong>the</strong> f<strong>in</strong>al exam<strong>in</strong>ation <strong>in</strong> determ<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong><br />
f<strong>in</strong>al grade.<br />
After each term, students will receive a statement of grades for <strong>the</strong><br />
term’s work. For all first-year students and students on probation, a<br />
report of midterm stand<strong>in</strong>g will be issued to <strong>the</strong> student and <strong>the</strong> faculty<br />
advisor dur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> fall term only. Statements of grades are available<br />
on WebAdvisor. Students who wish to have a copy of grades sent to<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir parents or guardians must provide <strong>the</strong> Registrar’s Office with a<br />
written request authoriz<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> university to release grades to parents<br />
or guardians.<br />
The follow<strong>in</strong>g system is used to record midterm and f<strong>in</strong>al grades <strong>in</strong> courses:<br />

Reappraisal of F<strong>in</strong>al Grades<br />
A student may apply for reappraisal of a f<strong>in</strong>al grade only <strong>in</strong><br />
exceptional circumstances if he or she has good reason to believe <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>in</strong>structor has made an error <strong>in</strong> assign<strong>in</strong>g a f<strong>in</strong>al grade or has treated<br />
<strong>the</strong> student unfairly.<br />
A student who wishes to challenge a f<strong>in</strong>al grade shall beg<strong>in</strong> by<br />
discuss<strong>in</strong>g that grade with <strong>the</strong> relevant <strong>in</strong>structor with<strong>in</strong> 15 days of<br />
receiv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> grade from <strong>the</strong> Registrar’s Office. The reappraisal shall<br />
<strong>in</strong>clude reassessment of <strong>the</strong> f<strong>in</strong>al exam<strong>in</strong>ation (if applicable), a review<br />
of <strong>the</strong> computation of weighted components used <strong>in</strong> calculat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong><br />
f<strong>in</strong>al grade, and consideration of any allegation of unfairness to <strong>the</strong><br />
student. The <strong>in</strong>structor shall <strong>in</strong>form <strong>the</strong> student, <strong>in</strong> writ<strong>in</strong>g, of any<br />
changes with<strong>in</strong> 15 days. It is possible for <strong>the</strong> grade to be lowered as a<br />
result of <strong>the</strong> reassessment.<br />
The student may appeal <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>structor’s reassessment if he or she<br />
still believes a mistake has been made, believes he or she has been<br />
wronged, or has some substantial new evidence that could not be<br />
presented to <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>structor. The student appeals by writ<strong>in</strong>g to <strong>the</strong> Chair<br />
of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong> Standards Committee with<strong>in</strong> seven days of receiv<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>structor’s reappraisal. The letter must state <strong>the</strong> decision that<br />
is be<strong>in</strong>g appealed, <strong>the</strong> grounds of appeal, and <strong>the</strong> remedy sought. If<br />
all three are not specified <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> appeal letter, or if <strong>the</strong> Chair of <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>Academic</strong> Standards Committee, <strong>in</strong> consultation with <strong>the</strong> Dean for <strong>the</strong><br />
division (or designate), decides that <strong>the</strong> appeal lacks sufficient grounds,<br />
<strong>the</strong> appeal will not be heard.<br />
Reappraisals are done by <strong>the</strong> Dean for <strong>the</strong> division (or designate) and<br />
one o<strong>the</strong>r division member chosen by <strong>the</strong> Dean. The reappraisal of <strong>the</strong><br />
f<strong>in</strong>al grade shall aga<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>volve reassessment of <strong>the</strong> f<strong>in</strong>al exam<strong>in</strong>ation<br />
(if applicable), a review of <strong>the</strong> computation of weighted components<br />
used <strong>in</strong> calculat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> f<strong>in</strong>al grade, and an evaluation of any allegation<br />
of unfairness to <strong>the</strong> student. Any review of <strong>the</strong> grad<strong>in</strong>g of an essay or<br />
project must be of <strong>the</strong> orig<strong>in</strong>al. The Chair of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong> Standards<br />
Committee shall <strong>in</strong>form <strong>the</strong> student, <strong>in</strong> writ<strong>in</strong>g, of <strong>the</strong> result of <strong>the</strong><br />
appraisal. Decisions of <strong>the</strong> divisional committee are f<strong>in</strong>al.<br />
Student Grievances<br />
Aga<strong>in</strong>st a Faculty Member<br />
If a student has a grievance aga<strong>in</strong>st a faculty member or objects to a<br />
grade assigned by a faculty member, he or she shall first discuss that<br />
compla<strong>in</strong>t with <strong>the</strong> faculty member. The aggrieved student may ask<br />
ano<strong>the</strong>r student to accompany him or her as a witness or support. It is<br />
hoped that <strong>in</strong> such a meet<strong>in</strong>g, most conflicts can be resolved.<br />
If <strong>the</strong> student is not satisfied by <strong>the</strong> rul<strong>in</strong>g of <strong>the</strong> faculty member,<br />
he or she may appeal to <strong>the</strong> Dean of <strong>the</strong> faculty member concerned.<br />
43
The Dean shall hear <strong>the</strong> compla<strong>in</strong>t of <strong>the</strong> student, consult <strong>the</strong> faculty<br />
member and perhaps his or her departmental chair, before mak<strong>in</strong>g a<br />
judgment. The Dean must be given a written statement of grievance by<br />
<strong>the</strong> student, a written response from <strong>the</strong> faculty member, and relevant<br />
corroborative material from both parties. The judgment of <strong>the</strong> Dean, <strong>in</strong><br />
writ<strong>in</strong>g, is f<strong>in</strong>al (it cannot be appealed).<br />
It is understood that <strong>in</strong> cases concern<strong>in</strong>g requests for reappraisal<br />
of a f<strong>in</strong>al grade, <strong>the</strong> appropriate procedure will be followed and <strong>in</strong><br />
allegations of gender or sexual harassment or o<strong>the</strong>r types of harassment<br />
and discrim<strong>in</strong>ation, <strong>the</strong> university’s policy on promot<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> respect of<br />
persons will be followed.<br />
Aga<strong>in</strong>st a Staff Member<br />
If a student has a compla<strong>in</strong>t aga<strong>in</strong>st a staff member or objects to<br />
how an <strong>in</strong>stitutional policy has been applied by a staff member or an<br />
adm<strong>in</strong>istrative department, he or she shall first discuss that compla<strong>in</strong>t<br />
with <strong>the</strong> staff member. The aggrieved student may ask ano<strong>the</strong>r student<br />
to accompany him or her as a witness or support. It is hoped that <strong>in</strong><br />
such a meet<strong>in</strong>g, most conflicts can be resolved.<br />
If <strong>the</strong> compla<strong>in</strong>t requires fur<strong>the</strong>r consultation or clarification to be<br />
resolved, <strong>the</strong> staff member may request that <strong>the</strong> student put <strong>the</strong><br />
compla<strong>in</strong>t <strong>in</strong> writ<strong>in</strong>g ei<strong>the</strong>r prior to or with<strong>in</strong> two days of <strong>the</strong> meet<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
The staff member is expected to provide a written response (personally<br />
or <strong>in</strong> consultation with his or her supervisor) with<strong>in</strong> two weeks of<br />
receiv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> written compla<strong>in</strong>t, unless <strong>the</strong> written compla<strong>in</strong>t is<br />
resolved <strong>in</strong> an <strong>in</strong>itial meet<strong>in</strong>g as outl<strong>in</strong>ed above.<br />
If <strong>the</strong> student is not satisfied by <strong>the</strong> rul<strong>in</strong>g of <strong>the</strong> staff member, he or she<br />
may appeal to <strong>the</strong> supervisor of <strong>the</strong> staff member concerned, or if <strong>the</strong><br />
supervisor is already <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> compla<strong>in</strong>t, to <strong>the</strong> Vice-President of<br />
<strong>the</strong> relevant division of <strong>the</strong> university. In <strong>the</strong> case of a Vice-President,<br />
<strong>the</strong> appeal will go to <strong>the</strong> President, and <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> case of <strong>the</strong> President to <strong>the</strong><br />
Chair of <strong>the</strong> Board of Governors. The supervisor (or equivalent) shall<br />
hear <strong>the</strong> compla<strong>in</strong>t of <strong>the</strong> student, consult <strong>the</strong> staff member and his or<br />
her supervisor as relevant, before mak<strong>in</strong>g a judgment. The supervisor<br />
(or equivalent) must be given a written statement of <strong>the</strong> compla<strong>in</strong>t by<br />
<strong>the</strong> student, a written response from <strong>the</strong> staff member, and relevant<br />
corroborative material from both parties. The judgment of <strong>the</strong> supervisor<br />
(or equivalent) is f<strong>in</strong>al (it cannot be appealed).<br />
It is understood that <strong>in</strong> cases concern<strong>in</strong>g allegations of gender or<br />
sexual harassment or o<strong>the</strong>r types of harassment and discrim<strong>in</strong>ation,<br />
<strong>the</strong> university’s policy on promot<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> respect of persons will be<br />
followed.<br />
Grade Po<strong>in</strong>t Average and<br />
<strong>Academic</strong> Stand<strong>in</strong>g<br />
A student’s average is computed by multiply<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> grade po<strong>in</strong>ts for<br />
each course taken by <strong>the</strong> number of credits allowed for <strong>the</strong> course and<br />
<strong>the</strong>n divid<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> total number of grade po<strong>in</strong>ts by <strong>the</strong> total number of<br />
credits. Courses <strong>in</strong> which a student receives <strong>the</strong> grades of AU, NR, P or<br />
W do not count <strong>in</strong> calculat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> grade po<strong>in</strong>t average. Courses taken<br />
by Letter of Permission or for which transfer credit has been awarded<br />
are not counted <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> grade po<strong>in</strong>t average. A course <strong>in</strong> which a low<br />
or fail<strong>in</strong>g grade has been given may be repeated. If a student repeats a<br />
course, <strong>the</strong> most recent grade received will be counted <strong>in</strong> comput<strong>in</strong>g<br />
his or her average and only this course will be credited; <strong>the</strong> earlier<br />
grade will, however, rema<strong>in</strong> on <strong>the</strong> transcript. A student must ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong><br />
a m<strong>in</strong>imum cumulative grade po<strong>in</strong>t average (CGPA) <strong>in</strong> order to be<br />
<strong>in</strong> good academic stand<strong>in</strong>g. The m<strong>in</strong>imum CGPA necessary for good<br />
stand<strong>in</strong>g is dependent upon <strong>the</strong> number of terms <strong>the</strong> student has been<br />
enrolled (see page 46).<br />
To be eligible to receive a general degree a student must have a CGPA<br />
of no less than 4.00. For a certificate, a student must have a CGPA of no<br />
less than 4.00. If a student’s CGPA falls below <strong>the</strong> m<strong>in</strong>imum necessary<br />
for good academic stand<strong>in</strong>g, <strong>the</strong> student will be placed on academic<br />
probation (see page 46). If <strong>the</strong> student’s CGPA falls below <strong>the</strong> m<strong>in</strong>imum<br />
CGPA necessary to rema<strong>in</strong> registered, <strong>the</strong> student will be eligible for<br />
dismissal. For return<strong>in</strong>g students, academic dismissals are not normally<br />
implemented after <strong>the</strong> fall term (unless o<strong>the</strong>rwise specified) but will be<br />
effective after <strong>the</strong> w<strong>in</strong>ter term. First-year students whose CGPA falls at<br />
or below 1.00 will automatically be dismissed at <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> fall term<br />
but <strong>the</strong>se students will be given an opportunity to appeal <strong>the</strong> decision.<br />
The <strong>Academic</strong> Standards Committee shall decide each case on <strong>the</strong><br />
basis of policies laid down by <strong>the</strong> Senate. Appeals will be referred to<br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong> Appeals Committee.<br />
Deans’ Honour List<br />
Students whose GPA for a term’s full-time coursework is 9.50 or<br />
higher will be placed on <strong>the</strong> Deans’ Honour List. Be<strong>in</strong>g placed on <strong>the</strong><br />
Deans’ Honour List will be reflected on students’ transcripts. Students<br />
whose CGPA is 9.50 or higher at <strong>the</strong> time of graduation will graduate<br />
with dist<strong>in</strong>ction.<br />
Those students who have a disability and are enrolled <strong>in</strong> 60% of a full<br />
course load (3 courses/9 credits) will be eligible to be placed on <strong>the</strong><br />
Deans’ Honour List. These students must be formally recommended<br />
by <strong>the</strong> Disability Services Coord<strong>in</strong>ator and must have proper<br />
documentation to support this.<br />
Absence from Tests and Exam<strong>in</strong>ations<br />
If a student is absent from a test or f<strong>in</strong>al exam<strong>in</strong>ation, without<br />
prior notice and permission, a grade of “F” will be assigned for<br />
that test or exam<strong>in</strong>ation. In <strong>the</strong> case of illness or o<strong>the</strong>r extreme<br />
circumstances, <strong>the</strong> student may be exempted and allowed to write<br />
an alternate test or exam<strong>in</strong>ation of comparable difficulty and similar<br />
format, provided he or she has given prior notice of <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>ability to<br />
take <strong>the</strong> test or exam<strong>in</strong>ation.<br />
Absence Due to Illness<br />
For tests, students should notify and obta<strong>in</strong> permission from <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>in</strong>structor of <strong>the</strong> course. In case of illness, <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>structor may require<br />
an absence slip signed by a physician. To receive an exemption from<br />
exam<strong>in</strong>ations as <strong>the</strong> result of illness, <strong>the</strong> student must give <strong>the</strong> Dean of<br />
Students an absence slip signed by a physician. In o<strong>the</strong>r extenuat<strong>in</strong>g<br />
circumstances, <strong>the</strong> student must notify and obta<strong>in</strong> approval from <strong>the</strong><br />
Dean of Students, who shall confer with <strong>the</strong> Chair of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong><br />
Standards Committee. The Dean of Students will notify <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>structor<br />
and arrange for an alternate writ<strong>in</strong>g time as required.<br />
44
Absence Due to University<br />
Sanctioned Activities<br />
Students who miss a quiz or a test, of any type, as a result of <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
direct participation <strong>in</strong> one of <strong>the</strong> follow<strong>in</strong>g university-sanctioned<br />
events (varsity game, choir concert performance, ma<strong>in</strong>stage <strong>the</strong>atre<br />
production, class trip, Student Life sponsored mission trip) will be<br />
allowed to write <strong>the</strong> make-up quiz or test at a time determ<strong>in</strong>ed by <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>in</strong>structor, <strong>in</strong> consultation with <strong>the</strong> student. It is <strong>the</strong> responsibility of<br />
<strong>the</strong> student to <strong>in</strong>form <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>structor, at least two days before <strong>the</strong> day of<br />
<strong>the</strong> quiz or test, or else <strong>the</strong> opportunity to write a make-up quiz or test<br />
is forfeited. Students may not miss a f<strong>in</strong>al exam<strong>in</strong>ation as a result of<br />
<strong>the</strong>se events. This policy does not apply to essays, lab reports, or o<strong>the</strong>r<br />
assignments for which due dates were established at <strong>the</strong> beg<strong>in</strong>n<strong>in</strong>g of<br />
<strong>the</strong> course. This policy does not apply to practices (for athletic, music,<br />
or <strong>the</strong>atre events), club sports or <strong>in</strong>tramurals.<br />
Exam<strong>in</strong>ation Policy<br />
In each course <strong>the</strong>re is a written f<strong>in</strong>al exam<strong>in</strong>ation which is given<br />
dur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> exam<strong>in</strong>ation period. Normally a f<strong>in</strong>al exam<strong>in</strong>ation must<br />
count for at least 25% of <strong>the</strong> f<strong>in</strong>al grade. Consent for weight<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong><br />
exam<strong>in</strong>ation less must be obta<strong>in</strong>ed by <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>structor from <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong><br />
Standards Committee. Tests and o<strong>the</strong>r means of evaluation will be used<br />
throughout <strong>the</strong> term at <strong>the</strong> discretion of <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>structor.<br />
F<strong>in</strong>al Exam<strong>in</strong>ation Schedule<br />
The f<strong>in</strong>al exam<strong>in</strong>ation schedule will be released by <strong>the</strong><br />
Registrar’s Office <strong>in</strong> early October for <strong>the</strong> fall term and early<br />
February for <strong>the</strong> w<strong>in</strong>ter term. Students are required to write <strong>the</strong><br />
exam<strong>in</strong>ations as scheduled and will not be granted permission<br />
to reschedule exams unless one of <strong>the</strong> follow<strong>in</strong>g conflicts exists:<br />
(Note: <strong>the</strong> Registrar’s Office will advise those who fall <strong>in</strong>to category<br />
one, two and three)<br />
1. Students with exam<strong>in</strong>ations <strong>in</strong> three consecutive time blocks may<br />
request that one of <strong>the</strong> three exam<strong>in</strong>ations be rescheduled.<br />
2. Students with more than three exam<strong>in</strong>ations <strong>in</strong> five consecutive time<br />
blocks may request that one of exam<strong>in</strong>ations be rescheduled.<br />
3. Students with two exam<strong>in</strong>ations <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> same time block must request<br />
that one of <strong>the</strong> two exam<strong>in</strong>ations be rescheduled.<br />
4. O<strong>the</strong>r types of schedul<strong>in</strong>g conflicts (not <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g work or travel<br />
plans*) may be considered on a case-by-case situation. Students<br />
who feel that <strong>the</strong>y have unusual or extenuat<strong>in</strong>g circumstances may<br />
request that <strong>the</strong>ir situation be reviewed by <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong> Standards<br />
Committee. A written request must be submitted to <strong>the</strong> Registrar<br />
by <strong>the</strong> last day of classes <strong>in</strong> October for <strong>the</strong> fall exam<strong>in</strong>ation period<br />
and by <strong>the</strong> last day of classes <strong>in</strong> February for <strong>the</strong> w<strong>in</strong>ter exam<strong>in</strong>ation<br />
period.<br />
* Requests for rescheduled exam<strong>in</strong>ations based on reasons of work<br />
or travel arrangements (<strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g purchased airl<strong>in</strong>e tickets) are not<br />
considered to be grounds for reschedul<strong>in</strong>g exam<strong>in</strong>ations. Students<br />
who need to make travel arrangements earlier than when <strong>the</strong><br />
exam<strong>in</strong>ation schedule is released are advised to book <strong>the</strong>ir departure<br />
dates for <strong>the</strong> day follow<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> exam<strong>in</strong>ation period.<br />
All schedule changes are made by <strong>the</strong> Registrar’s Office, and must be<br />
f<strong>in</strong>alized a m<strong>in</strong>imum of one week before <strong>the</strong> last day of classes. Faculty<br />
do not make exam<strong>in</strong>ation schedule changes. Exam<strong>in</strong>ations rescheduled<br />
due to an approved conflict will be assigned to one of two exam<strong>in</strong>ation<br />
blocks outside of <strong>the</strong> exam<strong>in</strong>ation period (i.e. on one of <strong>the</strong> read<strong>in</strong>g<br />
days or on <strong>the</strong> day follow<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> exam<strong>in</strong>ation period). Faculty will<br />
be requested to provide an alternate exam of <strong>the</strong> same format and<br />
comparable difficulty to accommodate rescheduled exam<strong>in</strong>ations.<br />
Test-Free Week<br />
Faculty will not assign quizzes or tests dur<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> f<strong>in</strong>al week of classes.<br />
Take-Home Exam<strong>in</strong>ations<br />
Due dates for take-home exam<strong>in</strong>ations will be <strong>in</strong>cluded <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> regular<br />
exam<strong>in</strong>ation schedule and students are expected to follow all <strong>the</strong><br />
submission requirements as set by <strong>the</strong> course <strong>in</strong>structor. A take-home<br />
exam<strong>in</strong>ation which is submitted after <strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> exam<strong>in</strong>ation block<br />
will be considered a missed exam<strong>in</strong>ation. A take-home exam<strong>in</strong>ation<br />
must be given to students at <strong>the</strong> last scheduled class (not earlier).<br />
F<strong>in</strong>al Exam<strong>in</strong>ations<br />
F<strong>in</strong>al exam<strong>in</strong>ations are normally scheduled to be written <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
gymnasium. Exam<strong>in</strong>ations with oral or visual components will<br />
be assigned an alternate room. Students should be aware of <strong>the</strong><br />
follow<strong>in</strong>g policies and procedures:<br />
• Students must rema<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> exam<strong>in</strong>ation centre for a m<strong>in</strong>imum of<br />
45 m<strong>in</strong>utes.<br />
• No electronic devices (i.e. cell phones, mp3 players, etc.) are<br />
permitted. Faculty who do permit <strong>the</strong> use of a non-programmable<br />
calculator dur<strong>in</strong>g an exam<strong>in</strong>ation must specify this on <strong>the</strong><br />
exam<strong>in</strong>ation paper.<br />
• No bags, hand bags, or pencil cases will be allowed <strong>in</strong>to <strong>the</strong><br />
exam<strong>in</strong>ation centre and must be left at <strong>the</strong> side of <strong>the</strong> exam<strong>in</strong>ation<br />
centre (at a student’s own risk). Books and notes will only be<br />
permitted if previously approved by <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>structor and noted on <strong>the</strong><br />
exam<strong>in</strong>ation paper. Students who wish to br<strong>in</strong>g pens and pencils <strong>in</strong> a<br />
case should place <strong>the</strong>m <strong>in</strong> a clear plastic bag.<br />
• All hats will be <strong>in</strong>spected and coats must be left at <strong>the</strong> side of <strong>the</strong><br />
exam<strong>in</strong>ation centre (at a student’s own risk).<br />
• No student will be admitted to <strong>the</strong> exam<strong>in</strong>ation centre 45 m<strong>in</strong>utes<br />
past <strong>the</strong> start of <strong>the</strong> exam<strong>in</strong>ation block. After this po<strong>in</strong>t <strong>the</strong> student<br />
is considered to be absent and will receive a grade of “F” on <strong>the</strong><br />
exam<strong>in</strong>ation. Appeals based on extenuat<strong>in</strong>g circumstances may be<br />
directed to <strong>the</strong> attention of <strong>the</strong> Registrar and must be done on <strong>the</strong><br />
same bus<strong>in</strong>ess day (or <strong>the</strong> follow<strong>in</strong>g bus<strong>in</strong>ess day <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> case of<br />
even<strong>in</strong>g or weekend exam<strong>in</strong>ations). Appeals will be heard by <strong>the</strong><br />
Chair of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong> Standards Committee (or designate) whose<br />
decision will be f<strong>in</strong>al.<br />
• Students who must miss an exam<strong>in</strong>ation due to illness or a<br />
significant personal emergency (i.e. an accident or death <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
family), must contact <strong>the</strong> Dean of Students prior to <strong>the</strong> start of <strong>the</strong><br />
exam<strong>in</strong>ation. A doctor’s note <strong>in</strong>dicat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> duration of <strong>the</strong> illness<br />
must be submitted before an alternate exam<strong>in</strong>ation writ<strong>in</strong>g time is<br />
scheduled. Exam<strong>in</strong>ations which have been rescheduled due to illness<br />

Probation<br />
Students whose academic background is below <strong>the</strong> admission<br />
standards may be placed on academic probation (see pages 9-13).<br />
In addition, students who were admitted as regular full-time students<br />
will be placed on probation if <strong>the</strong>ir work at <strong>the</strong> university <strong>in</strong>dicates that<br />
<strong>the</strong>y need special attention.<br />
Students who are admitted or placed on academic probation are<br />
required to complete ASP-012, Methods and Motivation for University<br />
Studies, and will be limited to four courses plus ASP-012. Any year<br />
one student who atta<strong>in</strong>s a term GPA of less than 3.00 (D+) and has not<br />
previously completed ASP-012 must complete ASP-012 <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> next<br />
term. A year one student placed on academic probation (CGPA of less<br />
than 2.75) will be restricted to four courses plus ASP-012 or one-onone<br />
mentor<strong>in</strong>g with a member of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong> Support Department.<br />
Any student who has completed ASP-012 but still has a CGPA of less<br />
than 3.00 will be required to complete one-on-one mentor<strong>in</strong>g with a<br />
member of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong> Support Department.<br />
Any student who is not <strong>in</strong> good stand<strong>in</strong>g will be strongly<br />
recommended to take ASP-012 (<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> case of a first- or second-year<br />
student) or to complete one-on-one mentor<strong>in</strong>g with a member of <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>Academic</strong> Support Department. If a student is dismissed and appeals<br />
that dismissal, <strong>the</strong> student’s participation <strong>in</strong> recommended and required<br />
conditions of probation and/or <strong>Academic</strong> Support Programs will be<br />
reported to <strong>the</strong> Appeals Committee.<br />
All students on probation are expected to give priority to <strong>the</strong>ir studies<br />
and <strong>in</strong> addition to <strong>the</strong> reduced course load (described above) are<br />
expected to limit <strong>the</strong>ir part-time employment and work study hours<br />
to no more than five hours per week. They are also expected to seek<br />
help <strong>in</strong> develop<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong>ir academic skills and report regularly to <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
faculty advisor. All students on probation may participate <strong>in</strong> one<br />
extra-curricular activity at any one time. For <strong>the</strong> purposes of probation<br />
students, <strong>the</strong> university regards <strong>the</strong> follow<strong>in</strong>g as extra-curricular<br />
activities*: choir, applied <strong>the</strong>atre modules (both credited and audited),<br />
varsity and club sports, Student Senate, and all o<strong>the</strong>r activities<br />
sponsored by <strong>the</strong> university.<br />
*<strong>Academic</strong> requirements may apply.<br />
No student may cont<strong>in</strong>ue <strong>in</strong>def<strong>in</strong>itely on probation; unless a certa<strong>in</strong><br />
amount of progress and achievement can be demonstrated, <strong>the</strong> student<br />
on probation for four consecutive terms is subject to dismissal. The<br />
academic records of all students on probation will be reviewed after<br />
each term by <strong>the</strong> Registrar, on behalf of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong> Standards<br />
Committee, on <strong>the</strong> basis of policies established by <strong>the</strong> Senate.<br />
For <strong>the</strong> student who has been placed on academic probation a letter<br />
will be issued by <strong>the</strong> Registrar, on behalf of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong> Standards<br />
Committee, outl<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> specific conditions of probation <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong><br />
m<strong>in</strong>imum term GPA required for <strong>the</strong> subsequent term. If this term GPA<br />
is not met, <strong>the</strong> student is eligible for dismissal. The conditions outl<strong>in</strong>ed<br />
<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> letter supersede <strong>the</strong> conditions outl<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> progress schedule<br />
below. Decisions with respect to academic probation or academic<br />
dismissal are reflected on student transcripts <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> appropriate terms.<br />

After year one, students will be placed on academic probation if <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
CGPA falls between a 2.75 (D+ range) and a 4.00 (C-). They will rema<strong>in</strong><br />
on academic probation for <strong>the</strong>ir second year at Redeemer.<br />
Year Three and Year Four:<br />
If, after year two, <strong>the</strong>ir CGPA is lower than 4.00, <strong>the</strong>y will be subject to<br />
review. If a student had been on probation for his or her entire second<br />
year at Redeemer and his or her CGPA is still lower than 4.00, he or<br />
she will be required to withdraw. Students <strong>in</strong> this situation may appeal,<br />
and <strong>the</strong> Appeals Committee may elect to allow <strong>the</strong> student to re-enrol<br />
and repeat courses. In this case, <strong>the</strong> student may not take new courses<br />
until <strong>the</strong> m<strong>in</strong>imum CGPA for good stand<strong>in</strong>g (4.00) has been met unless<br />
o<strong>the</strong>rwise <strong>in</strong>structed by <strong>the</strong> Appeals Committee.<br />
However, if <strong>the</strong> student was only on probation for one previous term,<br />
and has a CGPA between 3.50 and 4.00, he or she will be allowed to<br />
cont<strong>in</strong>ue on academic probation until <strong>the</strong> next review period <strong>in</strong> May.<br />
A student on academic probation may not graduate.<br />
Dismissal of Year One Students After One Term<br />
Students who, after one term of study (m<strong>in</strong>imum of 3 courses/9 credits),<br />
possess a CGPA of less than or equal to 1.00 will be considered for<br />
academic dismissal. Action will be taken with all students <strong>in</strong> this<br />
category, regardless of whe<strong>the</strong>r or not <strong>the</strong>y have decided to withdraw.<br />
Any student who is dismissed will be eligible to appeal. Students will<br />
be given two class days to appeal a dismissal decision. If no appeal is<br />
requested, <strong>the</strong> student will be de-registered from classes and if liv<strong>in</strong>g on<br />
campus, will be required to move off campus immediately. The student<br />
will be eligible for a full refund of tuition and hous<strong>in</strong>g fees for <strong>the</strong> w<strong>in</strong>ter<br />
term and all f<strong>in</strong>ancial aid will be forfeited, accord<strong>in</strong>g to <strong>the</strong> policies of<br />
<strong>the</strong> F<strong>in</strong>ancial Aid Office.<br />

Dismissal From Redeemer<br />
University College<br />
Students who are dismissed from <strong>the</strong> university are normally given<br />
an opportunity to appeal <strong>the</strong>ir dismissal to ei<strong>the</strong>r <strong>the</strong> Vice-President<br />
(<strong>Academic</strong>) for academic dismissals or <strong>the</strong> Dean of Students for<br />
discipl<strong>in</strong>ary dismissals. Details with respect to <strong>the</strong> appeal procedure are<br />
outl<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> letter of dismissal.<br />
If a student is dismissed from <strong>the</strong> university for academic reasons, a<br />
statement at <strong>the</strong> bottom of <strong>the</strong> transcript will reflect this dismissal.<br />
In <strong>the</strong> case of discipl<strong>in</strong>ary dismissal, a student will be assigned a<br />
“W” for each course <strong>in</strong> which he or she is enrolled. On <strong>the</strong> transcript,<br />
a statement at <strong>the</strong> bottom of <strong>the</strong> term <strong>in</strong> question will reflect<br />
“Discipl<strong>in</strong>ary Dismissal” and <strong>the</strong> date of <strong>the</strong> dismissal.<br />
Policy on <strong>Academic</strong> Integrity<br />
Redeemer University College affirms that all members of <strong>the</strong><br />
university community are obliged to ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> highest standards<br />
of academic <strong>in</strong>tegrity. All students, staff, faculty, and adm<strong>in</strong>istrators<br />
at Redeemer University College are responsible for creat<strong>in</strong>g and<br />
ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g an environment where academic <strong>in</strong>tegrity flourishes <strong>in</strong><br />
all areas of academic life, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>struction, learn<strong>in</strong>g, research,<br />
and adm<strong>in</strong>istration. This is an <strong>in</strong>tegral part of our mandate to perform<br />
scholarly work under <strong>the</strong> Lordship of Jesus Christ and to serve Him.<br />
The faculty, staff, and adm<strong>in</strong>istration of Redeemer University College<br />
are responsible for encourag<strong>in</strong>g students to be m<strong>in</strong>dful of <strong>the</strong> need for<br />
<strong>in</strong>tegrity <strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>struction, learn<strong>in</strong>g, and research, and to set standards for<br />
academic work by which students must abide. It is <strong>the</strong> responsibility<br />
of <strong>the</strong> faculty and adm<strong>in</strong>istration of Redeemer University College to<br />
ensure that expectations with respect to academic <strong>in</strong>tegrity are clearly<br />
communicated to students. Some departments and <strong>in</strong>structors may<br />
have specific rules designed to ma<strong>in</strong>ta<strong>in</strong> academic <strong>in</strong>tegrity and <strong>the</strong>se<br />
are to be clearly communicated to students.<br />
The faculty, staff, and adm<strong>in</strong>istration of Redeemer University College<br />
believe that breaches of academic <strong>in</strong>tegrity significantly underm<strong>in</strong>e <strong>the</strong><br />
university’s ability to fairly evaluate students and, as such, consider<br />
breaches of academic <strong>in</strong>tegrity to be unacceptable and counter to <strong>the</strong><br />
learn<strong>in</strong>g objectives of <strong>the</strong> university.<br />
The follow<strong>in</strong>g list provides examples of breaches of academic <strong>in</strong>tegrity:<br />
1. Cheat<strong>in</strong>g dur<strong>in</strong>g a quiz, test, or exam<strong>in</strong>ation. Cheat<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>volves<br />
us<strong>in</strong>g, or attempt<strong>in</strong>g to use, unauthorized materials dur<strong>in</strong>g a quiz,<br />
test, or exam<strong>in</strong>ation.<br />
2. The unauthorized alteration of work that has already been graded<br />
and <strong>the</strong> re-submission of that work <strong>in</strong> order to receive a better grade.<br />
3. Plagiarism. Plagiarism is <strong>the</strong> submission of material that has been,<br />
entirely or <strong>in</strong> part, copied from, stolen from, purchased from, written<br />
by, created by, designed by, or produced by ano<strong>the</strong>r person(s)<br />
without proper acknowledgement. When students directly quote<br />
or use material from a particular source, or when <strong>the</strong>y use material<br />
<strong>in</strong>directly (i.e. <strong>the</strong>y are express<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir own words a concept,<br />
idea, or <strong>in</strong>terpretation that <strong>the</strong>y have obta<strong>in</strong>ed from ano<strong>the</strong>r source),<br />
<strong>the</strong>y are required to provide a reference or footnote to give credit<br />
to <strong>the</strong> orig<strong>in</strong>al source of <strong>the</strong> material. Failure to do so constitutes<br />
plagiarism. The offense could stem from a deliberate attempt to<br />
deceive, which is particularly serious, or from careless scholarship,<br />
which is less serious, but still plagiarism.<br />
4. The submission of work for which previous credit has been<br />
obta<strong>in</strong>ed, unless <strong>the</strong> previously submitted work has been presented<br />
as such to <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>structor of <strong>the</strong> second course and that <strong>in</strong>structor has<br />
deemed it as acceptable for credit <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> course.<br />
5. Obta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g, distribut<strong>in</strong>g, and/or receiv<strong>in</strong>g copies of a quiz, test,<br />
or exam<strong>in</strong>ation before <strong>the</strong> quiz, test, or exam<strong>in</strong>ation is to be<br />
written, without <strong>the</strong> consent of <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>structor. Likewise, releas<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>in</strong>formation about <strong>the</strong> content of a quiz, test, or exam<strong>in</strong>ation, <strong>in</strong> case<br />
one is permitted to write it before <strong>the</strong> rest of <strong>the</strong> class, constitutes a<br />
breach of academic <strong>in</strong>tegrity.<br />
6. Provid<strong>in</strong>g false <strong>in</strong>formation <strong>in</strong> order to obta<strong>in</strong> alternate quiz/test/<br />
exam<strong>in</strong>ation dates or an extension of deadl<strong>in</strong>es.<br />
7. Aid<strong>in</strong>g and abett<strong>in</strong>g ano<strong>the</strong>r student’s misconduct. A student who<br />
know<strong>in</strong>gly allows his or her quiz, test, exam<strong>in</strong>ation, assignment,<br />
computer program, artwork, etc. to be copied has committed a<br />
breach of academic <strong>in</strong>tegrity. Likewise, a student who offers his or<br />
her services to write or rewrite academic material to be submitted<br />
under <strong>the</strong> name of ano<strong>the</strong>r student has committed a breach of<br />
academic <strong>in</strong>tegrity.<br />
8. Tamper<strong>in</strong>g with ano<strong>the</strong>r student’s work or deliberately prevent<strong>in</strong>g<br />
ano<strong>the</strong>r student from complet<strong>in</strong>g an assignment or study<strong>in</strong>g for<br />
a quiz, test, or exam<strong>in</strong>ation <strong>in</strong> an attempt to hurt that student’s<br />
academic stand<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
9. Impersonation of ano<strong>the</strong>r student at a quiz, test, or exam<strong>in</strong>ation.<br />
10.Forg<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> signature of ano<strong>the</strong>r student on attendance sheets.<br />
11.Provid<strong>in</strong>g false <strong>in</strong>formation for <strong>the</strong> purpose of ga<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g admission to<br />
Redeemer University College, ga<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g transfer credits, etc.<br />
12.Falsify<strong>in</strong>g, misrepresent<strong>in</strong>g, or forg<strong>in</strong>g an academic record, letter<br />
of reference, or any official university document.<br />
No matter what offense is committed, a note describ<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> offense will<br />
be placed <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> student’s file by <strong>the</strong> Registrar.<br />
Process<br />
If <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>structor suspects that a breach of academic <strong>in</strong>tegrity has<br />
occurred, <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>structor will meet with <strong>the</strong> student to discuss <strong>the</strong><br />
charge. For cases that correspond to #7 through #12 above, <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>in</strong>structor will refer <strong>the</strong> matter to <strong>the</strong> Dean of Students. Penalties will<br />
be determ<strong>in</strong>ed by <strong>the</strong> Student Life Department, <strong>in</strong> consultation with <strong>the</strong><br />
Discipl<strong>in</strong>e Committee, us<strong>in</strong>g already established guidel<strong>in</strong>es (see <strong>the</strong><br />
Student Handbook).<br />
For cases that correspond to #1 through #6 above, <strong>the</strong> follow<strong>in</strong>g<br />
procedure will be used:<br />
If <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>structor is conv<strong>in</strong>ced that a breach of academic <strong>in</strong>tegrity has<br />
occurred, <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>structor will refer <strong>the</strong> matter to <strong>the</strong> faculty adjudicator<br />
who has <strong>the</strong> responsibility of determ<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g whe<strong>the</strong>r a breach of academic<br />
<strong>in</strong>tegrity has actually occurred. In mak<strong>in</strong>g this determ<strong>in</strong>ation, <strong>the</strong> faculty<br />
adjudicator may obta<strong>in</strong> <strong>in</strong>formation from any person <strong>in</strong>volved. If <strong>the</strong><br />
faculty adjudicator determ<strong>in</strong>es that a breach of academic <strong>in</strong>tegrity has<br />
occurred, he or she will notify <strong>the</strong> Chair of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong> Standards<br />
Committee <strong>in</strong> writ<strong>in</strong>g and <strong>in</strong>form him or her of <strong>the</strong> nature of <strong>the</strong> charge<br />
aga<strong>in</strong>st <strong>the</strong> student. The Chair of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong> Standards Committee<br />
will <strong>the</strong>n determ<strong>in</strong>e, follow<strong>in</strong>g consultation with <strong>the</strong> Registrar, whe<strong>the</strong>r<br />
47
this is <strong>the</strong> student’s first, second, or third offense and communicate this<br />
<strong>in</strong>formation to <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>structor so <strong>the</strong> appropriate penalty can be applied. If<br />
<strong>the</strong> faculty adjudicator determ<strong>in</strong>es that a breach of academic <strong>in</strong>tegrity has<br />
not occurred, <strong>the</strong> matter is dropped and any documentation perta<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g to<br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>cident is destroyed.<br />
First Offense<br />
The student will be given a “0” on <strong>the</strong> quiz, test, exam<strong>in</strong>ation, lab<br />
report, class assignment, etc. by <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>structor, who will notify <strong>the</strong><br />
Chair of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong> Standards Committee and <strong>the</strong> Registrar that <strong>the</strong><br />
penalty has been assigned. The student will be <strong>in</strong>formed <strong>in</strong> writ<strong>in</strong>g by<br />
<strong>the</strong> Chair of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong> Standards Committee of all decisions made<br />
and actions taken. The student has <strong>the</strong> right to appeal <strong>the</strong> decisions and<br />
actions to ano<strong>the</strong>r faculty member, normally from ano<strong>the</strong>r department,<br />
selected by <strong>the</strong> Chair of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong> Standards Committee. The<br />
student must <strong>in</strong>dicate, <strong>in</strong> writ<strong>in</strong>g, his or her <strong>in</strong>tention to appeal to <strong>the</strong><br />
Chair of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong> Standards Committee with<strong>in</strong> ten bus<strong>in</strong>ess days<br />
of be<strong>in</strong>g notified by <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>structor of <strong>the</strong> right to appeal, or <strong>the</strong> right to<br />
appeal is forfeited.<br />
Second Offense (<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> same course or ano<strong>the</strong>r course)<br />
The student will be given an “F” <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> course by <strong>the</strong> <strong>in</strong>structor, who will<br />
notify <strong>the</strong> Chair of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong> Standards Committee and <strong>the</strong> Registrar<br />
that <strong>the</strong> penalty has been assigned. The student will be <strong>in</strong>formed <strong>in</strong><br />
writ<strong>in</strong>g by <strong>the</strong> Chair of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong> Standards Committee of all<br />
decisions made and actions taken. The student has <strong>the</strong> right to appeal<br />
<strong>the</strong> decisions and actions to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong> Standards Committee, whose<br />

ano<strong>the</strong>r faculty member to take his/her place.) The student must <strong>in</strong>dicate,<br />
<strong>in</strong> writ<strong>in</strong>g, his or her <strong>in</strong>tention to appeal to <strong>the</strong> Chair of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong><br />
Standards Committee with<strong>in</strong> ten bus<strong>in</strong>ess days of be<strong>in</strong>g notified by <strong>the</strong><br />
<strong>in</strong>structor of <strong>the</strong> right to appeal, or <strong>the</strong> right to appeal is forfeited. Any<br />
grade of “F” that appears on a student’s transcript as a result of a breach<br />
of academic <strong>in</strong>tegrity will not have any special notation after it.<br />
Third Offense (<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> same course or ano<strong>the</strong>r course)<br />
The student will be dismissed from <strong>the</strong> university. The student will<br />
be <strong>in</strong>formed <strong>in</strong> writ<strong>in</strong>g by <strong>the</strong> Chair of <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong> Standards<br />

deadl<strong>in</strong>es for <strong>the</strong> year are outl<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong> Schedule on page 5<br />
and policies govern<strong>in</strong>g refunds are outl<strong>in</strong>ed on page 24. Students with<br />
extenuat<strong>in</strong>g circumstances such as serious illness may be considered<br />
for an exception to <strong>the</strong>se policies and must present documentation for<br />
review by <strong>the</strong> Registrar and <strong>the</strong> Dean of Students.<br />

outl<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> procedure to be followed is available from <strong>the</strong> Registrar’s<br />
Office. The deadl<strong>in</strong>e to submit <strong>the</strong> form is <strong>the</strong> last day of classes of <strong>the</strong><br />
term <strong>in</strong> question.<br />
Transfer Students<br />
Transfer students are encouraged to f<strong>in</strong>alize <strong>the</strong>ir transfer credit as<br />
early as possible. Transfer students may not register for <strong>the</strong>ir f<strong>in</strong>al year<br />
of courses at Redeemer until all transfer credit has been f<strong>in</strong>alized. In<br />
order for transfer credit to be f<strong>in</strong>alized, students must submit a f<strong>in</strong>al<br />
transcript from <strong>the</strong> previous post-secondary <strong>in</strong>stitution(s) attended<br />
along with <strong>the</strong> course outl<strong>in</strong>es/syllabi for <strong>the</strong> courses that are eligible<br />
for transfer credit. Courses will be evaluated and transfer credit granted<br />
accord<strong>in</strong>g to <strong>the</strong> policy outl<strong>in</strong>ed on page 11.<br />
Credits<br />
Credits are based on <strong>the</strong> amount of time students are expected to spend<br />
on <strong>the</strong>ir courses. Each credit unit <strong>in</strong>volves a m<strong>in</strong>imum of 43 hours<br />
of study, normally consist<strong>in</strong>g of 13 classroom hours and 30 hours of<br />
out-of-class assignments; a three-credit course <strong>in</strong>cludes a m<strong>in</strong>imum of<br />
39 classroom hours, a three-hour exam<strong>in</strong>ation, and a m<strong>in</strong>imum of 90<br />
hours of out-of-class assignments.<br />
Student Work Load<br />
A full-time course load is four or five courses of three credits each.<br />
At least three of <strong>the</strong>se courses must be taken at Redeemer (i.e. not by<br />
letter of permission at ano<strong>the</strong>r <strong>in</strong>stitution). A sixth course may be added<br />
with <strong>the</strong> approval of <strong>the</strong> Registrar <strong>in</strong> concordance with <strong>the</strong> guidel<strong>in</strong>es<br />
established by <strong>the</strong> <strong>Academic</strong> Standards Committee. A m<strong>in</strong>imum<br />
CGPA of 7.00 is required for consideration. Students should note<br />
that a maximum of two overload courses may be applied to <strong>the</strong> total<br />
number of courses required for graduation. Students on probation are<br />
required to limit <strong>the</strong>ir registration to four courses per term or may have<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir registration limited as a condition of <strong>the</strong>ir status, as <strong>in</strong>structed <strong>in</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong>ir letter of admission or as determ<strong>in</strong>ed by <strong>the</strong> Registrar’s Office.<br />
Audit<strong>in</strong>g Privileges<br />
Full-time students may audit a course with permission of <strong>the</strong> Registrar;<br />
<strong>the</strong>re is no additional tuition charge. Part-time and occasional students<br />
may also participate <strong>in</strong> one or more courses as auditors and fees for<br />
audit<strong>in</strong>g will be charged as outl<strong>in</strong>ed on page 22. An auditor is expected<br />
to attend all classes and may submit papers and take tests. However, it<br />
is expected that an auditor will learn ma<strong>in</strong>ly by listen<strong>in</strong>g. When a course<br />
is audited, it appears on <strong>the</strong> student’s transcript with “AU” recorded <strong>in</strong><br />
place of <strong>the</strong> grade. If an audit<strong>in</strong>g student withdraws from a course before<br />
<strong>the</strong> end of <strong>the</strong> term, <strong>the</strong> course is not recorded on <strong>the</strong> transcript. A student<br />
is permitted to change a course from audit to credit status before <strong>the</strong><br />
deadl<strong>in</strong>e for add<strong>in</strong>g courses.<br />
Letter of Permission<br />
Full-time or part-time students registered at Redeemer may take courses<br />
at o<strong>the</strong>r <strong>in</strong>stitutions for credit <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir certificate or degree program, if<br />
such courses are important for <strong>the</strong>ir program but are not offered by <strong>the</strong><br />
university. A m<strong>in</strong>imum CGPA of 6.00 is normally required. Students<br />
must submit a Letter of Permission application form and obta<strong>in</strong><br />
permission from <strong>the</strong> Registrar’s Office prior to register<strong>in</strong>g for <strong>the</strong> course<br />
<strong>in</strong> order to ensure that credit is received. Application forms are available<br />
from <strong>the</strong> Registrar’s Office and <strong>the</strong> website. If approved, <strong>the</strong> Registrar’s<br />
Office will issue a letter of permission. A $25 adm<strong>in</strong>istrative fee is levied<br />
for each course completed by letter of permission.<br />
Courses taken via letter of permission are listed on <strong>the</strong> transcript but<br />
do not count toward <strong>the</strong> student’s <strong>in</strong>stitutional grade po<strong>in</strong>t average.<br />
Students who must take courses by letter of permission <strong>in</strong> order to<br />
complete a program of study should normally arrange <strong>the</strong>ir schedules<br />
so that no more than one such course is taken <strong>in</strong> any term. Students<br />
may only apply two courses completed by letter of permission<br />
towards program and graduation requirements at Redeemer. In<br />
exceptional circumstances, more than two courses completed by letter<br />
of permission may be applied towards requirements at Redeemer but<br />
students must appeal to <strong>the</strong> Registrar for permission.<br />
A letter of permission may also be arranged for students who register<br />
for courses at ano<strong>the</strong>r post-secondary <strong>in</strong>stitution for one or two terms;<br />
however, this normally does not <strong>in</strong>clude <strong>the</strong> f<strong>in</strong>al year of studies.<br />

• The student must be <strong>in</strong> good academic stand<strong>in</strong>g. For return<strong>in</strong>g<br />
students (second year or higher) <strong>the</strong> student must have passed 6<br />
courses/18 credit hours <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> previous academic year (September-<br />
April). If <strong>the</strong> student is only enrolled <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> one term <strong>in</strong> which <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
sport is occurr<strong>in</strong>g, <strong>the</strong>y are required to have passed 3 courses/9<br />
credit hours <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> previous term that <strong>the</strong>y attended Redeemer.<br />
• Students are also assessed at mid-year (January) and must have<br />
passed 2 courses/6 credit hours to be able to participate <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
January term of any given academic year.<br />
• Students may not play on a varsity team if <strong>the</strong>y have been placed on<br />
academic probation for three terms at Redeemer (<strong>the</strong>se terms need<br />
not be consecutive).<br />
• If a student does not meet <strong>the</strong> above requirements, <strong>the</strong>y may be<br />
re<strong>in</strong>stated after 12 consecutive months of be<strong>in</strong>g away from <strong>the</strong><br />
sport, regardless of <strong>the</strong>ir progress at Redeemer. Or, <strong>the</strong> student may<br />
be re<strong>in</strong>stated aga<strong>in</strong> after complet<strong>in</strong>g one term at Redeemer and<br />
successfully complet<strong>in</strong>g 3 courses/9 credit hours <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> term prior to<br />
re-jo<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> varsity team.<br />
Independent <strong>Study</strong><br />
Independent study courses are provided <strong>in</strong> most departments to allow<br />
qualified students <strong>the</strong> opportunity to explore a unique area of study<br />
not normally offered <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> curriculum. The follow<strong>in</strong>g policies must<br />
be satisfied <strong>in</strong> order to obta<strong>in</strong> permission to complete an <strong>in</strong>dependent<br />
study. An application form outl<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g all <strong>the</strong>se requirements is available<br />
from <strong>the</strong> Registrar’s Office.<br />
• A request for an <strong>in</strong>dependent study course must first be approved<br />
by <strong>the</strong> Registrar, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> written rationale for requir<strong>in</strong>g an<br />
<strong>in</strong>dependent study <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> program. Initial agreement of a supervis<strong>in</strong>g<br />
faculty member is also required.<br />
• In order to be eligible for an <strong>in</strong>dependent study course, a student<br />
must have a Redeemer cumulative grade po<strong>in</strong>t average of 7.00 and<br />
normally be enrolled as a fourth-year student.<br />
• In order to enrol <strong>in</strong> an <strong>in</strong>dependent study course, <strong>the</strong> student, <strong>in</strong><br />
consultation with <strong>the</strong> supervis<strong>in</strong>g faculty member, must prepare a<br />
proposal to be approved by <strong>the</strong> faculty member. Such a proposal<br />
should describe:<br />
• Objectives of <strong>the</strong> course;<br />
• Content of <strong>the</strong> course;<br />
• Reports, papers, presentations or assignments to be submitted<br />
and <strong>the</strong> percentage of <strong>the</strong> f<strong>in</strong>al grade each is worth, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>the</strong> penalty for late submission of any assignment;<br />
• Dates of completion of various stages of <strong>the</strong> course. The<br />
deadl<strong>in</strong>e for <strong>the</strong> submission of <strong>the</strong> f<strong>in</strong>al requirement for<br />
evaluation will not be later than <strong>the</strong> last day of classes <strong>in</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> term.<br />
• The student is expected to spend approximately 45 hours per credit<br />
hour on <strong>the</strong> course (i.e. 135 hours for a three-credit course).<br />
• An <strong>in</strong>dependent study course will normally be offered dur<strong>in</strong>g<br />
<strong>the</strong> regular teach<strong>in</strong>g terms only and will not normally replace or<br />
duplicate regular courses. All <strong>in</strong>dependent study courses require an<br />
academically sound rationale and are normally limited to program<br />
requirements or to allow <strong>in</strong>dividual students to pursue specific areas<br />
of <strong>in</strong>terest <strong>in</strong> preparation for graduate studies.<br />
• The Registrar’s Office reviews <strong>the</strong> application and submits it to<br />
<strong>the</strong> appropriate Dean, who reviews <strong>the</strong> course proposal for f<strong>in</strong>al<br />
approval.<br />
To ensure that an <strong>in</strong>dependent study will be approved by <strong>the</strong> start<br />
of classes for a given term, students must submit <strong>the</strong>ir completed<br />
application and course proposal by August 15 for <strong>the</strong> fall term or<br />
December 15 for <strong>the</strong> w<strong>in</strong>ter term. All applications and course proposals<br />
must be submitted by <strong>the</strong> last day of <strong>the</strong> first week of classes of <strong>the</strong><br />
term <strong>in</strong> which <strong>the</strong> student <strong>in</strong>tends to complete <strong>the</strong> course. It is <strong>the</strong><br />

<strong>Academic</strong> Programs<br />
Christian Undergraduate<br />
University Education at<br />
Redeemer University College<br />
Redeemer University College offers a number of undergraduate degree<br />
and certificate programs. The courses <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>se academic programs<br />
<strong>in</strong>volve learn<strong>in</strong>g which is Scripturally-directed, based on Reformed<br />
Christian perspectives and focused on <strong>the</strong> various discipl<strong>in</strong>es <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
arts, humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. In <strong>the</strong> degree<br />
programs, such an education is provided through:<br />
• core requirements, consist<strong>in</strong>g of foundational courses form<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong><br />
context for all o<strong>the</strong>r learn<strong>in</strong>g, and courses <strong>in</strong> a variety of discipl<strong>in</strong>es<br />
<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> arts and sciences, provid<strong>in</strong>g a general education;<br />
• courses <strong>in</strong> a particular area of specialization, lead<strong>in</strong>g to a greater<br />
depth of knowledge and understand<strong>in</strong>g through more <strong>in</strong>tensive<br />
study; and<br />
• courses chosen by <strong>the</strong> student <strong>in</strong> any area, allow<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> pursuit of<br />
particular <strong>in</strong>terests and <strong>the</strong> fulfillment of specific needs.<br />
Core Requirements<br />
The foundational courses are made up of studies <strong>in</strong> religion and <strong>the</strong>ology,<br />
systematic philosophy, and <strong>the</strong> history of Western culture, which serve as<br />
<strong>the</strong> po<strong>in</strong>t of departure for o<strong>the</strong>r studies at <strong>the</strong> university.<br />
The courses <strong>in</strong> religion and <strong>the</strong>ology enable students to search and<br />
understand <strong>the</strong> Scriptures and to discern <strong>the</strong> basic dimensions of a<br />
Biblical view of life and <strong>the</strong> world.<br />
The courses <strong>in</strong> philosophy as well as <strong>the</strong> capstone course <strong>in</strong> a major<br />
focus on foundational aspects of knowledge and on <strong>in</strong>terdiscipl<strong>in</strong>ary<br />
relationships, help<strong>in</strong>g students to see that religiously based assumptions<br />
are <strong>in</strong>volved <strong>in</strong> all scholarship and help<strong>in</strong>g to develop <strong>the</strong> outl<strong>in</strong>es of<br />
a philosophical position which seeks to reflect a Biblical view of <strong>the</strong><br />
world.<br />
The courses <strong>in</strong> history exam<strong>in</strong>e <strong>the</strong> development of Western culture<br />
with particular emphasis on <strong>the</strong> complex process of cultural formation<br />
and <strong>the</strong> role of ultimate beliefs, and especially <strong>the</strong> Christian faith,<br />
<strong>the</strong>reby deepen<strong>in</strong>g students’ awareness of <strong>the</strong> orig<strong>in</strong>s and nature of <strong>the</strong><br />
society and world <strong>in</strong> which <strong>the</strong>y live.<br />
The general courses are made up of studies <strong>in</strong> composition and<br />
literature, <strong>the</strong> f<strong>in</strong>e arts, physical education, <strong>the</strong> natural sciences,<br />
and <strong>the</strong> social sciences. These courses provide students with a broad<br />
educational background and basic knowledge and skills.<br />
The courses <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> f<strong>in</strong>e arts, <strong>the</strong> social sciences, and <strong>the</strong> natural<br />
sciences provide students with an <strong>in</strong>troduction to a number of<br />
discipl<strong>in</strong>es <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> arts and sciences, present<strong>in</strong>g to <strong>the</strong>m <strong>the</strong> basic<br />
concepts and conclusions of a discipl<strong>in</strong>e and confront<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong>m with<br />
alternative approaches, methodological issues, and foundational<br />
questions. Students are <strong>the</strong>reby enabled to develop <strong>the</strong>ir own critical<br />
appreciation of scholarship <strong>in</strong> a variety of discipl<strong>in</strong>es.<br />
The courses <strong>in</strong> composition and literature, and physical education<br />
ensure that students possess <strong>the</strong> basic competencies required for sound<br />
scholarship and effective communication <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir program of studies.<br />
Concentration<br />
Students are required to have two dist<strong>in</strong>ct areas of concentration <strong>in</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong>ir program at Redeemer. Normally, this means students complete<br />
a major and a m<strong>in</strong>or or a double major. The m<strong>in</strong>or concentration<br />
is optional only <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Bus<strong>in</strong>ess program. Courses <strong>in</strong> a major and<br />
m<strong>in</strong>or area of concentration enable students to develop more fully<br />
<strong>the</strong>ir knowledge, <strong>in</strong>sight, and abilities <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> context of a particular<br />
discipl<strong>in</strong>e. Through this more <strong>in</strong>tensive study, <strong>the</strong> perspective and<br />
capabilities ga<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> foundational and general educational courses<br />
can be deepened and ref<strong>in</strong>ed. <strong>Study</strong> <strong>in</strong> both a major and a m<strong>in</strong>or<br />
concentration prevents overspecialization, enabl<strong>in</strong>g students to work <strong>in</strong><br />
two chosen areas.<br />
The areas of major and m<strong>in</strong>or concentration which a student selects<br />
are related to <strong>the</strong> program of studies <strong>in</strong> which <strong>the</strong> student registers.<br />
Some programs allow a number of major/m<strong>in</strong>or options while <strong>in</strong> o<strong>the</strong>rs<br />
<strong>the</strong> major and m<strong>in</strong>or may be prescribed. The course requirements for<br />
majors and m<strong>in</strong>ors are listed under each department <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> section of<br />
<strong>the</strong> <strong>calendar</strong> on Courses of Instruction. Students may only complete<br />
one concentration per department (i.e. a student may not complete a<br />
Physical Education major and a Recreation m<strong>in</strong>or) due to <strong>the</strong> overlap<br />
<strong>in</strong> courses.<br />
Electives<br />
Courses chosen by <strong>the</strong> student outside of <strong>the</strong> core and concentration<br />
requirements provide some opportunity for build<strong>in</strong>g a unique and<br />
<strong>in</strong>dividualized program which can serve particular needs and <strong>in</strong>terests.<br />
In some programs, majors and m<strong>in</strong>ors, <strong>the</strong> number of electives is<br />
reduced by cognate requirements or by required professional courses.<br />
Degree Programs<br />
As authorized under its prov<strong>in</strong>cial charter, Redeemer University<br />
College offers five degree programs lead<strong>in</strong>g to a Bachelor’s Degree<br />
with <strong>the</strong> designation Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science. A<br />
Bachelor of Education degree is available ei<strong>the</strong>r as a concurrent or<br />
consecutive program. Students admitted to <strong>the</strong> university start <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Bachelor of Arts, four-year general degree program and may apply to<br />
enter one of <strong>the</strong> follow<strong>in</strong>g four-year arts or science programs dur<strong>in</strong>g<br />
year one or two:<br />
• Four-Year General<br />
• Four-Year Major<br />
• Concurrent Education* (with Arts or Science degree)<br />
• Honours<br />
• Comb<strong>in</strong>ed Honours<br />
* The concurrent program <strong>in</strong>cludes a four-year general/major/<br />
honours degree (Arts or Science) and a 15 course program <strong>in</strong><br />
education lead<strong>in</strong>g to <strong>the</strong> Bachelor of Education degree. The teacher<br />
education program can also be completed as a two-year consecutive<br />
program upon <strong>the</strong> completion of a Bachelor’s Degree (see page 63).<br />
Prior to 1998, Redeemer offered a Bachelor of Christian Studies degree.<br />
The Senate has approved <strong>the</strong> Bachelor of Christian Studies degree as <strong>the</strong><br />
equivalent of <strong>the</strong> Bachelor of Arts or <strong>the</strong> Bachelor of Science degree.<br />

General Information on Practicum Component<br />
The practicum is viewed as an important <strong>in</strong>teraction between <strong>the</strong>ory<br />
and practice, and as a cont<strong>in</strong>ued conversation among experienced<br />
professionals, education students, and faculty. It is planned and<br />
scheduled to provide for graduated <strong>in</strong>troduction to <strong>the</strong> role of service<br />
as a classroom teacher. Throughout all <strong>the</strong> practicum experiences,<br />
<strong>the</strong> responsibility of both experienced and apprentice teachers to <strong>the</strong><br />
students <strong>in</strong> elementary and secondary schools rema<strong>in</strong>s a central concern.<br />
The various components of <strong>the</strong> practicum are planned to provide<br />
extensive opportunity for guided practice and range from <strong>in</strong>itial<br />
classroom observation to <strong>in</strong>creased responsibility for student learn<strong>in</strong>g,<br />
classroom management, assessment, and <strong>in</strong>struction. Student-teacher<br />

PSY-428 The Psychology of Will and Willpower<br />
(F)<br />
In recent years, psychology has experienced an explosion of <strong>in</strong>terest<br />
<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> topic of willpower or self-control. Numerous empirical studies<br />
show that human be<strong>in</strong>gs have a capacity for self-control, that this<br />
capacity is l<strong>in</strong>ked to <strong>the</strong> bra<strong>in</strong>, that willpower can be streng<strong>the</strong>ned, and<br />
that new <strong>in</strong>sights are available that can help us to overcome bad habits<br />
and achieve our goals <strong>in</strong> life. Students will be challenged to understand<br />
this research and apply it to <strong>the</strong>ir lives. But is willpower really “<strong>the</strong><br />
greatest human strength” as some researchers contend To answer this<br />
question, we will grapple with <strong>the</strong> deep historical connections between<br />
this new psychology of willpower and <strong>the</strong> traditional Christian idea<br />
of “will.” In <strong>the</strong> process, students will engage several foundational<br />
issues, such as <strong>the</strong> construction of psychological language, <strong>the</strong> role of<br />
metaphor <strong>in</strong> psychology, and <strong>the</strong> nature of “free will.”<br />
