Bert Dejeet BursaryBACKGROUND:Bert Dejeet was a beloved Dean at Durham College for many years. In the year2000, Bert became the Dean of the School of Justice. The Justice Bursary wasrenamed in Bert’s honour upon his retirement. Each year students and facultyin the School of Justice & Emergency Services engage in a project to build resources for the BertDejeet Bursary. This was established in 2003 to offer financial assistance to Justice students infinancial need who are registered as full time students in the two or three year programs. There are fivebursaries available each year, one for each of the following groups in the amount of $200 to beawarded to a full time student in each of the following programs:• Paralegal (2 year diploma)• Law and Security Administration• Legal Administration/Law Clerk• Police Foundations Program• 911 Emergency & Call Centre CommunicationsELIGIBILITY:• Full-time student status in one of the above-mentioned programs• Minimum cumulative GPA of 1.75 at the end of the fall semester• Demonstrated financial needAPPLICATION PROCESS:Students meeting the above criteria can apply by:• through MyCampus under the DC Student tab.• contacting the Student Awards Office, Room SW116, Gordon Willey BuildingSELECTION:A panel of personnel review applications and decisions are made on a consensus basis.

Faculty Advisory SystemGENERALThe Faculty Advisory system is aimed at improving the student retention rate. There are several, oftenrepeated reasons why such a program is important.1. The success of our students is fundamental to our profession. Students who fail do not realize theirpotential, and there can be no satisfaction for us in that;2. By helping students succeed, we ensure viable class sizes in all of our programs; and3. By ensuring viable class sizes, we help ensure a healthy program.It has been shown that retention can be substantially improved by means of such reasonably simpleprocedures as a Faculty Advisory System.Students who learn the ropes quickly, who attend classes regularly, and who get to know their teachersand classmates, are very likely to succeed. One purpose of the Faculty Advisory System is to provideeach student with a friendly contact who can assist and encourage the student to adapt quickly tocollege life.FACULTY ADVISORSFaculty members will participate in the Faculty Advisory program strictly on a volunteer basis.A Faculty Advisor can be a good listener, third party, familiar face, ally, friend, facilitator, or mentorto their students. Faculty Advisors are not expected to be expert, personal, career, or financialcounsellors.For the majority of students who are doing well, Faculty Advisors are a source of encouragement andpositive reinforcement. They are cheerleaders.For students experiencing personal, financial, or academic problems, the Faculty Advisor is asympathetic first contact, a good listener, and a source of help in finding and referring the student toexpert help.The Faculty Advisor does not intervene when a student is having problems with another facultymember. In this case, students are referred to the normal chain of problem solving: starting with theteacher, and then possibly going to the Dean, or Vice President.Law and Security Administration Program Guide - 2010 Page 21

THE ROLE OF FACULTY OFFICEThe program has adopted an open-door policy for the faculty office. This is to encourage students tovisit the faculty office regularly to meet with faculty and to maintain currency with program activities.Students should view the faculty office as:- a communications’ centre;- an information centre where they can read the notice board daily in the hall outside of facultyoffice for announcements; class schedules, fitness results, articles, and absent teachers- a drop off and pick up centre for assignments.Law and Security Administration Program Guide - 2010 Page 22

Course OutlinesFor each course, a Course Outline that describes course learning outcomes, course content, learningactivities, evaluation methods, timelines and support resources is available online.This is a binding document. Any changes will be agreed upon by students and the professor andrequires approval from the Dean of the School. For further details, please refer to the Course OutlinesPolicy and Procedure documents (http://www.durhamcollege.ca/academicpolicies). Course outlinesare important documents. Please refer to them during the semester and keep them safely afterward.For students who go on to other post secondary institutions or post diploma programs, these will beessential documents.Please note that students are expected to download copies of their course outlines from MyCampusprior to the first class in each course. Instructions for downloading are located on MyCampus atwww.durhamcollege.ca/mycampus .General EducationDurham College strives to ensure that students who graduate are immediately employable in their fieldof study; able to succeed in employment through the ability to continuously learn; and are capable ofcontributing positively to the society in which they live and work. Therefore, each program of studywill strive to provide students with the skills related to a specific field of study (vocational skills),essential employability skills, and general education.General education courses strengthen students’ skills in areas such as critical analysis, problem solvingand communication in the context of an exploration of topics with broad-based personal and/or societalimportance. Normally, programs of instruction leading to either an Ontario College Diploma or anOntario College Advanced Diploma include three general education courses. Such courses areidentified on the program of study using the designation of “G”. General Education courses aretypically a combination of mandatory and elective courses and students are expected to cover aminimum of two of the five themes. The General Education Committee, which is a subcommittee ofAcademic Council, reviews and approves programs and courses for General Education compliance.Law and Security Administration Program Guide - 2010 Page 23

Late ArrivalsIf you arrive late for class, please enter the classroom as quietly as possible and/or wait until there is aformal break in the class to minimize disruption to students who arrived on time. If you disturb theclass upon your arrival, you will be asked to leave the class. If you arrive late on a regular basis, youmay not be granted access to the class after the normal start time of 10 minutes after the hour.General/OtherUnclaimed Tests or AssignmentsUnclaimed tests or assignments are discarded after three (3) weeks from the date they are handed backin class.Late AssignmentsIn general, all assignments are to be submitted via hardcopy in class and are due on the date and timegiven by the professor. If a student is given permission to submit an assignment electronically, it isthe student's responsibility to ensure they can produce a hard copy of the assignment if requested bythe professor. If the student experiences difficulty making the electronic submission, he/she mustcontact the IT helpdesk at (905) 721-2000 ext. 3333 or e-mail itsupport@dc-uoit.ca and have a "ticket"opened. If the technical issue cannot be resolved, the ticket number must be provided to the professor.E-mail PolicyFor the general e-mail policy, please refer to the General College Polices noted above.Should technical issues arise with respect to e-mail, students are expected to contact the professor viatelephone and leave an appropriate voicemail message. This is an expectation in the workenvironment, so it is an expectation in the educational environment. It is the student's responsibility toresolve individual IT issues with the Student Helpdesk located in the Computer Commons (e.g.password/user name problems, school e-mail account access problems, etc.).Computer Usage During Lab TimesThere is absolutely no personal use of computers allowed in class during lab times. This includesinstant messaging, checking personal e-mail, surfing, shopping, etc. The computers are there for thecompletion of assignments, exercises, and labs.

Be sure you are clear on the difference between ‘consulting’and ‘copying’ or ‘sharing’ work.Law and Security Administration Program Guide - 2010 Page 25

LAW & SECURITY ADMINISTRATIONANDPOLICE FOUNDATIONS PROGRAMSTESTING PROCEDURESANDESSAY/ASSIGNMENT PROCEDURESCreated by: Constable Ken FogalLaw and Security Administration Program Guide - 2010 Page 26

ESSAY/ASSIGNMENT PROCEDURESIn order to maintain the ‘Essay/Assignment Integrity’ at Durham College a number of strict guidelineswill be in place during the Academic year. These guidelines will only be changed or modified as theProfessor deems appropriate to suit the class in order to achieve success.In the event you do not participate in, or hand-in, an assignment you may receive a zero.Please follow and review each assignment guideline prior to beginning your assignment.If you improperly cite, do not cite, copy and paste, or otherwise plagiarize an assignment you willreceive a zero. This may also cause your group to receive the same mark if warranted.Essays will be entered into a plagiarism website and reviewed thoroughly by the Professor to maintainAcademic Integrity.If you are assigned a ‘Case Study’ or other assignment and you change the assignment parameters orpick another case, group, or area of study that you were not assigned you will receive a zero.You must strictly follow the guidelines on the Assignment Sheet, Rubric, and Guidelines set out by theProfessor.The PFP and LASA Program incorporate a wide variety of ‘group work’. It is incredibly important thatyou participate fully in these processes to ensure future success. If you choose to exclude yourself fromthe group, not participate, or contribute your knowledge and experience to others in your group, youmay not receive any marks.In ‘group work’ you may be asked to complete ‘Peer and Self Assessments’. Professors can and willuse these assessments to gauge your effort/or lack of effort and mark your work accordingly.It is your ‘group responsibility’ to contribute, encourage, and include all members, includingencouraging and providing your own participation and enthusiasm to the group. You may benefit fromthe knowledge of others and also contribute to the learning and enhancement of another student’s skillsand abilities. This is important to every student’s success!If you have been legitimately sick, absent, away due to compassionate reasons or otherwiseindisposed/unavailable during some ‘group work’ you must notify the Professor and your group, if youcontribute via phone, email, quality and quantity of work, even ‘moral support’, this can help the groupachieve success and may allow you to obtain full marks (the group must agree!) If your group decidesto complete their work in any manner that achieves success then that may be satisfactory. This includesthose that put in a complete effort but may not be able to attend meetings due to unavoidablecommitments.Law and Security Administration Program Guide - 2010 Page 27

If the group is not happy with your non-participatory effort the result may be a zero. Please ensure acooperative and cohesive working relationship within your group. This will assist you with futureendeavours.If you EMAIL your work to another member(s) and expect that person or group to edit and completeyour work/the assignment, this may result in zero marks.In the event that your group is reduced in numbers due to absence, eliminated members, memberswithdraw, or otherwise do not contribute; then it is the remaining members’ responsibility to completethe work/assignment.In the event that there are issues/problems in your group, YOU need to work together cooperatively toachieve success.If you cannot resolve the differences in your group then there are ‘Campus Mediation Services’ oncampus to assist in these matters. This will allow for a satisfactory outcome.Any disrespectful conversations, emails, text messages, and conduct will be dealt with swiftly andappropriately. BE RESPECTFUL AND COURTEOUS AT ALL TIMES!!!!!There is to be NO foul language, threats or inappropriate behaviour of any fashion! Remember whereand who you are!An easy way to avoid the situations above is:Ensure that, prior to beginning any assignment, essay, or ‘group work’, to please conduct a ‘housekeepingmeeting’. This will allow your group to manage the entire group efficiently and effectivelyfor greater success. Any perceived issues can be discussed prior to any problem.The ‘house-keeping meeting’ should include all expectations, repercussions, ramifications, andresolutions of all positive and negative conduct and interactions so that all outcomes are understood soa successful result will follow.Please set tentative and realistic deadlines for yourself and your group.Team/Group meetings will ensure that the assignment has been completed properly and in a timelyfashion.Part of your responsibility for assignments and ‘group work’ is to keep minutes (a record of all grouprelated work, assigned material, and meetings), emails, and notes relating to all work andcorrespondence between the group members. The maintaining of records, emails, and minutes is proofof your work and effort. This will reveal your true effort in the event that it is questioned. It is also partof your responsibility and part of your assignment to keep track of what work you have completed.The Durham College ‘Policies and Procedures’ are to be adhered to strictly, every day!Please follow all of the Professors rules for all Assignments, Essays and ‘Group Work’.Law and Security Administration Program Guide - 2010 Page 28

Absenteeism and lateness will notbe tolerated. Determine the procedure at the work location for reporting off duty because of illness.Students share responsibility with the College faculty for making the field placement portion of theLASA program an effective learning experience.The participating law enforcement agencies are co-operating with Durham College in this fieldplacement program, often at some inconvenience and expenditure of time for the agency personnel. Itis important for all students to conduct themselves at all times in a manner that will reflect favourablyon the College and themselves.Any problems in this regard will result in immediate recall of the student with the attendant loss ofcredit. Students may be withdrawn from field placement by College faculty in cases of misconduct,and such withdrawal will result in the loss of the course credit.The students absent from Durham College on field placement are instructed to contact the FieldPlacement Coordinator by telephone, e-mail or personally to report problems, seek advice, or to keepthe coordinator informed.This contact will enable the coordinator to monitor the field placement process from the student’sviewpoint and deal with problems that may occur.Most agencies will require a pre-placement interview and it is the student’s responsibility to beavailable.
