Program Policies

Academic Standing and Advancement Policy

To be in good standing and to register unconditionally, students must meet both the academic standing requirements of the College and the academic standing and advancement requirements of the Electronics Engineering Technology Program.

College Policy

Academic Standing

To be in good standing and to register unconditionally:

  • Students must have passed more than 50% of their courses for the year (not including Summer School).
  • Students admitted in January must pass more than 50% of their courses in that semester.
  • Students must also meet the standards of their particular program. If that policy is more stringent than the College policy, the program policy (DEC or AEC) takes precedence.

Students who do not fulfil the above conditions may register only with the permission of the Academic Standing and Advancement Committee.

Program Policy

Academic Standing

Students’ standing is determined at the end of each year according to the following regulations.

Students will be allowed to remain in the Program under the following conditions:

  • Students must not fail more than one of their Diagnostic Imaging specific education (Concentration) (142) courses in a term, as well as Physics of Radiology (203-BXB) and Biology of Radiology (101-BXD).
  • Students must not fail the same specific education (Concentration) course twice, including Physics of Radiology (203-BXB) and Biology of Radiology (101-BXD).
  • SStudents must complete the Program within five years and can repeat the same academic year only once.

Failure to meet any of the above conditions will result in expulsion from the program and the college. Expelled students have the right to appeal the expulsion to the College Academic Standing Appeals Committee. Students who are re-admitted to the Program following an appeal are required to remain in good standing for two consecutive terms in order to remain in the Program.

Advancement

Students are allowed to advance to the following semester of studies under the following conditions:

  • To advance to Term 2, students must pass all Diagnostic Imaging Specific Education (Concentration) (142) courses as well as the Physics of Radiology (203-BXB) course
  • To advance to Term 3, students must pass all Diagnostic Imaging Specific Education (Concentration) (142) courses as well as the Biology of Radiology (101-BXD) course.
  • To advance to Term 4, students must pass all Diagnostic Imaging Specific Education (Concentration) (142) courses.
  • To advance to Term 5, students must have successfully completed all Diagnostic Imaging Term 1 to 4 courses, as well as the general education courses.
  • Students must pass both clinical courses in Term 5 (Clinical 3 & 4) in order to advance to Term 6.

Students who are not allowed to advance to the following term will be allowed to remain in the Program. They must request permission to resume studies and repeat the failed course in the following year. Meanwhile, they will be allowed to take general education courses. Students not taking any courses in a term must reapply to the College by the application deadline.

The Program Coordinator may recommend an exception to standing and advancement decisions in extenuating circumstances.
