Bert Dejeet BursaryBACKGROUND:Bert Dejeet was a beloved Dean at <strong>Durham</strong> <strong>College</strong> 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 <strong>and</strong> 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)• <strong>Law</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Security</strong> <strong>Administration</strong>• Legal <strong>Administration</strong>/<strong>Law</strong> Clerk• Police Foundations <strong>Program</strong>• 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 <strong>and</strong> 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, <strong>and</strong> there can be no satisfaction for us in that;2. By helping students succeed, we ensure viable class sizes in all of our programs; <strong>and</strong>3. 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, <strong>and</strong> who get to know their teachers<strong>and</strong> classmates, are very likely to succeed. One purpose of the Faculty Advisory System is to provideeach student with a friendly contact who can assist <strong>and</strong> 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 <strong>and</strong>positive reinforcement. They are cheerleaders.For students experiencing personal, financial, or academic problems, the Faculty Advisor is asympathetic first contact, a good listener, <strong>and</strong> a source of help in finding <strong>and</strong> 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, <strong>and</strong> then possibly going to the Dean, or Vice President.<strong>Law</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Security</strong> <strong>Administration</strong> <strong>Program</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> - 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 <strong>and</strong> 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, <strong>and</strong> absent teachers- a drop off <strong>and</strong> pick up centre for assignments.<strong>Law</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Security</strong> <strong>Administration</strong> <strong>Program</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> - 2010 Page 22


Course OutlinesFor each course, a Course Outline that describes course learning outcomes, course content, learningactivities, evaluation methods, timelines <strong>and</strong> support resources is available online.This is a binding document. Any changes will be agreed upon by students <strong>and</strong> the professor <strong>and</strong>requires approval from the Dean of the School. For further details, please refer to the Course OutlinesPolicy <strong>and</strong> Procedure documents (http://www.durhamcollege.ca/academicpolicies). Course outlinesare important documents. Please refer to them during the semester <strong>and</strong> 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 Education<strong>Durham</strong> <strong>College</strong> 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; <strong>and</strong> are capable ofcontributing positively to the society in which they live <strong>and</strong> 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, <strong>and</strong> general education.General education courses strengthen students’ skills in areas such as critical analysis, problem solving<strong>and</strong> communication in the context of an exploration of topics with broad-based personal <strong>and</strong>/or societalimportance. Normally, programs of instruction leading to either an Ontario <strong>College</strong> Diploma or anOntario <strong>College</strong> 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 m<strong>and</strong>atory <strong>and</strong> elective courses <strong>and</strong> students are expected to cover aminimum of two of the five themes. The General Education Committee, which is a subcommittee ofAcademic Council, reviews <strong>and</strong> approves programs <strong>and</strong> courses for General Education compliance.<strong>Law</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Security</strong> <strong>Administration</strong> <strong>Program</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> - 2010 Page 23

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 h<strong>and</strong>ed backin class.Late AssignmentsIn general, all assignments are to be submitted via hardcopy in class <strong>and</strong> are due on the date <strong>and</strong> 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 <strong>and</strong> 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 <strong>College</strong> Polices noted above.Should technical issues arise with respect to e-mail, students are expected to contact the professor viatelephone <strong>and</strong> 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.

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

ESSAY/ASSIGNMENT PROCEDURESIn order to maintain the ‘Essay/Assignment Integrity’ at <strong>Durham</strong> <strong>College</strong> 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 h<strong>and</strong>-in, an assignment you may receive a zero.Please follow <strong>and</strong> review each assignment guideline prior to beginning your assignment.If you improperly cite, do not cite, copy <strong>and</strong> 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 <strong>and</strong> reviewed thoroughly by the Professor to maintainAcademic Integrity.If you are assigned a ‘Case Study’ or other assignment <strong>and</strong> 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, <strong>and</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>lines set out by theProfessor.The PFP <strong>and</strong> LASA <strong>Program</strong> 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 <strong>and</strong> experience to others in your group, youmay not receive any marks.In ‘group work’ you may be asked to complete ‘Peer <strong>and</strong> Self Assessments’. Professors can <strong>and</strong> willuse these assessments to gauge your effort/or lack of effort <strong>and</strong> mark your work accordingly.It is your ‘group responsibility’ to contribute, encourage, <strong>and</strong> include all members, includingencouraging <strong>and</strong> providing your own participation <strong>and</strong> enthusiasm to the group. You may benefit fromthe knowledge of others <strong>and</strong> also contribute to the learning <strong>and</strong> enhancement of another student’s skills<strong>and</strong> 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 <strong>and</strong> your group, if youcontribute via phone, email, quality <strong>and</strong> quantity of work, even ‘moral support’, this can help the groupachieve success <strong>and</strong> 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.<strong>Law</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Security</strong> <strong>Administration</strong> <strong>Program</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> - 2010 Page 27


If the group is not happy with your non-participatory effort the result may be a zero. Please ensure acooperative <strong>and</strong> cohesive working relationship within your group. This will assist you with futureendeavours.If you EMAIL your work to another member(s) <strong>and</strong> expect that person or group to edit <strong>and</strong> 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, <strong>and</strong> conduct will be dealt with swiftly <strong>and</strong>appropriately. BE RESPECTFUL AND COURTEOUS AT ALL TIMES!!!!!There is to be NO foul language, threats or inappropriate behaviour of any fashion! Remember where<strong>and</strong> 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 <strong>and</strong> effectivelyfor greater success. Any perceived issues can be discussed prior to any problem.The ‘house-keeping meeting’ should include all expectations, repercussions, ramifications, <strong>and</strong>resolutions of all positive <strong>and</strong> negative conduct <strong>and</strong> interactions so that all outcomes are understood soa successful result will follow.Please set tentative <strong>and</strong> realistic deadlines for yourself <strong>and</strong> your group.Team/Group meetings will ensure that the assignment has been completed properly <strong>and</strong> in a timelyfashion.Part of your responsibility for assignments <strong>and</strong> ‘group work’ is to keep minutes (a record of all grouprelated work, assigned material, <strong>and</strong> meetings), emails, <strong>and</strong> notes relating to all work <strong>and</strong>correspondence between the group members. The maintaining of records, emails, <strong>and</strong> minutes is proofof your work <strong>and</strong> effort. This will reveal your true effort in the event that it is questioned. It is also partof your responsibility <strong>and</strong> part of your assignment to keep track of what work you have completed.The <strong>Durham</strong> <strong>College</strong> ‘Policies <strong>and</strong> Procedures’ are to be adhered to strictly, every day!Please follow all of the Professors rules for all Assignments, Essays <strong>and</strong> ‘Group Work’.<strong>Law</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Security</strong> <strong>Administration</strong> <strong>Program</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> - 2010 Page 28

Acts that undermine academic integrity, such as plagiarism, cheating <strong>and</strong> misrepresentationof work, contradict <strong>Durham</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s core values.To ensure the highest academic st<strong>and</strong>ards, students are accountable for the work they produce, <strong>and</strong>student work must be the product of his or her efforts. <strong>Durham</strong> <strong>College</strong> has purchased a license withTurnitin.com, an online service to detect unoriginal work <strong>and</strong> citation errors. The Academic IntegrityPolicy <strong>and</strong> Procedure documents (http://www.durhamcollege.ca/academicpolicies) provide acomprehensive explanation of <strong>Durham</strong> <strong>College</strong>’s expectations regarding academic integrity.Requirements For PromotionEvaluation <strong>and</strong> PromotionAcademic courses are evaluated using a variety of methods such as tests, essays, labs, written or verbalassignments, in-process activities, group work <strong>and</strong>/or final examinations. The evaluation criteria foreach course are noted in its course outline. Students are advised to familiarize themselves with thesecriteria early in the semester. Please refer to the Grading <strong>and</strong> Promotion Policy <strong>and</strong> Proceduresdocuments (http://www.durhamcollege.ca/academicpolicies) for a complete overview of grading <strong>and</strong>promotion practices.Academic ProbationStudents who are not progressing satisfactorily according to criteria published in their respectiveprogram guides may be placed on academic probation, at the discretion of the school Dean ordesignate.
