page 1
i.t. policies
academic policies...
All academic policies are posted on MyCampus under the “DC STUDENT” tab. Students should
review and be aware of the policies and procedures in place.
academic integrity…
Academic integrity refers to the pursuit of scholarly activity in an open, honest and responsible
manner. Acts that undermine academic integrity, such as plagiarism, cheating and
misrepresentation of work, contradict Durham College’s core values.
To ensure the highest academic standards, students are accountable for the work they produce, and
student work must be the product of his or her efforts. Durham College has purchased a license
with Turnitin.com, an online service to detect unoriginal work and citation errors. The Academic
Integrity Policy and Procedure documents (http://www.durhamcollege.ca/academicpolicies) provide
a comprehensive explanation of Durham College’s expectations regarding academic integrity.
requirements for promotion…

Evaluation and Promotion
Academic courses are evaluated using a variety of methods such as tests, essays, labs, written or
verbal assignments, in-process activities, group work and/or final examinations. The evaluation
criteria for each course are noted in its course outline. Students are advised to familiarize
themselves with these criteria early in the semester. Please refer to the Grading and Promotion
Policy and Procedures documents (http://www.durhamcollege.ca/academicpolicies) for a complete
overview of grading and promotion practices.
Academic Probation
Students who are not progressing satisfactorily according to criteria published in their respective
program guides may be placed on academic probation, at the discretion of the school Dean or
designate. Such students may be allowed to continue their studies on a Letter of Permission (an
academic student contract) which will specify conditions which must be met to continue in their
programs. Students who do not meet the conditions of their academic probation may be required to
withdraw from full-time studies.
policies & expectations for the learning environment…

1. Class attendance and participation will enhance your opportunities for success.
2. Refer to the course outline for specific expectations for each course.
3. All submissions must meet specified guidelines as detailed by the section professor.
4. Students are responsible for regularly checking their “MyCampus” and WebCT areas for
messages from professors and college administration. Communication will come in forms of
emails, targeted messages and posted documents. Professors will confirm their preferred
method of communication.
5. Students should keep back-up copies of all assignments in case the original is lost.
6. Electronic submission of assignments is at the option of the professor. Assignments submitted
electronically must be in the software format as stated specifically by your professor.
Attachments that will not open are the responsibility of the student and subject to the late
penalty.
7. E-mails sent to professors and/or staff must be professional in appearance and content.
Inappropriate emails will be retained and a copy forwarded to the dean or associate dean for
appropriate action.

evaluation policy…
Rationale - An effective evaluation policy has many goals and serves many stakeholders. For
students, it should be both motivating and rewarding. For professors, it provides a framework for
teaching and feedback for improving instruction or modifying curriculum. For the community, it
should foster respect for our programs and confidence in our graduates.
Academic courses are evaluated in a variety of ways. These may include tests, written or oral
assignments, and group work as well as final examinations. The use of electronic dictionaries, cell
phones, pagers and other electronic devices in an invigilation setting is prohibited unless otherwise
specified by the professor. The evaluation criteria for each course are included with the course
outline. Students are advised to familiarize themselves with these criteria early in the semester. A
pass grade in all courses is 50% (unless otherwise indicated in the course outline). Unless
otherwise indicated, a student must achieve a passing grade in all courses and maintain a GPA of
2.0 to be eligible to graduate.
examinations…
In this section, a final examination is defined as an invigilated comprehensive evaluation given just
after regularly scheduled classes.
Final examinations will be held for courses as specified in the course outline.
A final examination will be comprehensive, and examination questions should reflect the
approximate time weighting specified in the course outline.
aegrotat…
Aegrotat refers to a ‘compassionate pass’ in a course in which, due to emergency circumstances
related to health and wellness, a student was unable to complete all of the evaluation requirements.
Emergency circumstances that may warrant the designation of an Aegrotat include, but are not
limited to: injury, illness and/or bereavement. Documentation supporting the request for an Aegrotat
designation may be required.
The awarding of an Aegrotat credit is noted in a student’s transcript as AEG and is therefore not
included in the calculation of a student’s grade point average. A student shall receive Aegrotat
standing only once in a five year period.
Further information about Aegrotat standing can be found in the Aegrotat Policy and Procedure
documents (http://www.durhamcollege.ca/academicpolicies).
missed final examinations…

A final examination is a discretely designed assessment administered in Week 15 of a 14 week
semester. Students who, as a result of non-emergency circumstances, miss one or more final
examinations during a single examination period may be eligible to apply to defer/reschedule the
writing of these assessments.
To be eligible, students must have no less than a cumulative 1.5 GPA, apply for consideration using
the appropriate forms and pay a fee. This privilege can only be used by a student once in a five-
year period. External accreditation requirements, the availability of appropriate examination facilities
and other constraints necessitate that not all courses will be eligible.
For more details, students should speak with their Student Liaisons or review the Missed Final
Examination Policy and Procedure documents (http://www.durhamcollege.ca/academicpolicies).
As of late December 2010/January 2011, the Student Centre, Continuing Education office and
Registration office will be moved to a new location. As a result, extension numbers and room
numbers will be changing.

field placement…
Field training provides valuable experience in the workplace. When on field placement, students
must realize that their behaviour reflects upon the entire student body and the image of the
college. Students are expected to act in a professional manner. This includes punctuality and
regular attendance.
1. It is strongly recommended that students do not carry any outstanding courses in third
year to ensure that they meet field placement pre-requisite requirements and graduation
deadlines.
2. Field placement pre-requisites require the successful completion of all first and second
year required courses and a cumulative GPA of 2.0 or higher. Students missing any of
the pre-requisites for field placement will not be registered in this course and will be
required to register and pay for this course once all pre-requisites are completed.
Durham College strives to offer alternate formats and deliveries of equivalent courses
through Continuing Education. Students are encouraged to discuss options with the
student liaison.
3. Students must complete all field placement components. See course outline for details.
4. Students must attend all field placement meetings scheduled by the college field
placement coordinator. A mark for attendance at these meetings may be assigned.
See course outline for details.
5. Students must complete the required hours for field placement as stated in the course
outline.
6. Students must notify both the employer and the college field placement coordinator if
unable to report for field placement. A failure to comply is grounds for immediate course
failure and termination of the field placement experience.
7. All reports are to be submitted by the due dates.
8. Should the field placement assignment not meet the needs of the student, the student in
conjunction with the field placement coordinator will attempt to find another placement
company for the student. The student must notify the field placement coordinator within
two weeks of the field placement assignment if alternate arrangements need to be
made.
9. Students are personally responsible for covering travel expenses to and from the
company.
10. Field placement assignments are unpaid positions. Please see the field placement
facilitator for credit information.
prerequisite courses…
Course prerequisites exist to promote student success. Exceptions to the established
prerequisite course structure are not permitted. Students who do not have all credits completed
from previous semesters may not be eligible for a full-time course load due to required pre-
requisites. Students with “non-standard” scheduling needs are urged to review their academic
plan with the student liaison each semester.
repeating courses…
Durham College’s grading and promotion policy states that courses may be repeated only once without
approval from the Dean or designate. The School of Business, IT & Management approves repeating of
courses for all Business, IT & Management students who are repeating a course a second time or more.
Students are encouraged to meet regularly with the student liaison if they are struggling with academic
success.
page 5
registration & credit related issues
prior learning assessment & recognition….
Students can apply for PLAR (Prior Learning Assessment & Recognition) when they have previous
work and/or life experience in a course and can demonstrate that they are able to meet the learning
outcomes of that course. The PLAR process is designed to recognize learning that has taken
place outside of a traditional educational institution. Students will be asked to demonstrate
previous learning. This may involve writing a challenge exam, preparing a number of assignments, an
interview, or a portfolio of work and life experience.
Course outlines indicate if a course is eligible for a PLAR challenge (the PLAR notation is near the
end of the document). Prior to visiting or calling the PLAR office, individuals should obtain a copy of
the course outline for the course being considered for challenge. If the applicant feels he/she can
demonstrate competency in the learning outcomes, he/she should contact the PLAR office.
The PLAR office is located in the Continuing Education office in the Gordon Willey Building at the
Oshawa Campus. Applicants are asked to complete a registration form in the Continuing Education
office and make the appropriate payment at registration.
Applicants will be advised as to the appropriate challenge process for the subject area and be
guided through the process. The credit will be granted or not granted based on the outcome of the
challenge and a mark will be recorded.
Questions can be directed to (905) 721-3053.
withdrawing from courses…
All withdrawals must be done within the first two weeks of the start of any module with no record
notes on the student’s transcript. Students withdrawing from a course during week three, four or five
of the start of the module will have the course recorded as a ‘W’ (withdrawn) on their transcript.
Students may not withdraw from a course during the last two weeks of the module in which they are
enrolled. After this date, all courses will be graded and recorded on the student’s transcript. Please
refer to the “Important Dates” section for a listing of withdrawal deadlines.
course/program changes…
Adding, deleting or changing a program must be done within the first week of course or program
commencement.
application for a course credit…
Applications must be submitted to the Registrar’s Office no later than two weeks from the course
commencement.
application for graduation…
Applications for graduation for those wishing to graduate at the June Convocation are available
online via MyCampus in January and due by a specified deadline (usually mid-February). A diploma
will not be prepared until the application is received. Applications for graduation for the October
Convocation are usually due by mid-September. Check MyCampus for deadline dates and updates.
grade appeals…
Students who do not agree with their marks have 15 days from receipt of that mark to launch a
grade appeal. The first step in the appeal is to speak to the professor who issued the grade. For
more details on the grade appeal process please consult the procedures regarding grade appeals
posted on MyCampus.

centre for students with disabilities
supporting students to REACH their full potential…
about the CSD…
The Centre for Students with Disabilities (CSD) at Durham College provides services to students who
are blind or have low vision, who are deaf or hard of hearing and those with physical, medical, psychiatric
and learning disabilities. These services are designed to support students and the college in our
responsibility to meet our legal obligations under the Ontario Human Rights Code and the Accessibility for
Ontarians with Disabilities Act by ensuring that we have the supports in place to allow students with disabilities to
fully
participate in all aspects of the academic environment. Our services are confidential.
registering for accommodations…

Accommodations are organized in co-operation with the student and as required, with the faculty on an individual
basis. They are based on review of the medical or psycho-educational documentation completed by the
appropriate medical
professional or psychologist familiar with the student’s particular diagnosis. The student is responsible for
self identifying and submitting documentation of a permanent or temporary disability to the CSD in B297.
Assistance in obtaining the appropriate documentation may be available. Accommodations may include
extra time and/or technology supports for tests and exams, assistance obtaining records of class lecture
material, reduced course load, material in alternate format, assistive technology assessment and training
and learning strategies.
things to remember for tests and final exams…

In order to receive test and exam accommodations through the CSD, students must have completed the
CSD Registration process including providing appropriate documentation. This can be a timely process –
contact the CSD as early as possible to ensure your accommodations and a seat in the test centre.
Test Registration forms are available on our CSD website www.durhamcollege.ca/csd –click on Test Centre
Request Forms. The Test Registration forms are also available in the CSD Test Centre (Room B216) as well as
our main CSD Office (Room B297).
Completed test forms and notifications to your professors, for each test, need to be submitted to the CSD Test
Centre (5) business days before the scheduled test, in order to reserve a space. Accommodated tests cannot
be guaranteed if a student registers less than 5 business days in advance of the test date. The alternative
may be to write with the class.
CSD Final Exam sign-up deadlines are always several weeks before the final exam period. The
deadlines as well as the CSD final exam information, explaining our online sign-up process, will be posted
on My Campus each term.
It is the student’s responsibility to check My Campus frequently as all important test and exam information
including registration deadlines will be posted to My Campus.
The CSD may be unable to accommodate students who do not sign-up by the final exam sign-up deadline.
to find out more about CSD services…

For further information please call 905-721-3123, drop by at B297 to set up an appointment or visit our
website at www.durhamcollege.ca/csd.

program of studies
computer systems technology
a three-year program to prepare you for success…
Computers and networks are everywhere, and there is no workplace that doesn't use them. As a
graduate of Computer Systems Technology, you will be ready for a career in the information
technology field. Job opportunities abound not only in high tech companies, but businesses and
organizations that seem to be totally unrelated.
You will help support computer users throughout the entire organization by deploying desktop and
laptop systems, looking after the critical servers for email, databases and the Web, and by looking
ahead to emerging technologies that will give your organization a competitive advantage.
You will have a variety of jobs to choose from: network and systems administrator, technical support
specialist, security administrator, sales support or training. You will also be a partner with other
stakeholders in the organization in developing and implementing information security policies and
best practices.
The objective of the three-year Computer Systems Technology program is to prepare students to
work in the many areas of business, industry and government; that require the design, testing,
installation and maintenance of computer hardware and software systems.
Students participate in extensive lab work emphasizing practical career-oriented education and
training. They develop current, relevant, competitive job skills in programming techniques,
microprocessor technology, data communications, systems analysis, database administration,
operating systems and firmware. The program creates multi-skilled graduates who can respond
flexibly to the complex hardware, software and application needs and problems in today's information
technology environment.
In your final year, you will attend a field placement with a local company which will provide you with
an excellent opportunity to gain valuable experience in applying the skills you learn in this program.
mobile learning program...

To ensure that you have access to an innovative learning environment and the advanced technology
skills required in the workplace, this program requires the use of a laptop computer. You will acquire
your own laptop from a vendor of your choosing including all of the hardware components required by
your program (to view the hardware requirements, please go here:
www.durhamcollege.ca/mobile). Software will be distributed to all first year students by the Computer
Lab Technologist.
