Term Grade Point Average (GPA) Term GPA is computed by multiplying the grade point achieved in each course by the credit value of the course and dividing the sum of this calculation for the term by the number of credits attempted in the term.

Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA) Cumulative GPA is computed by multiplying the grade point achieved in each course by the credit value of the course and dividing the sum of this calculation for all courses by the total number of credits attempted.

Exams Students must attend all required scheduled exams at the appointed time and place, which may include Saturdays. Accommodations for illness or personal crisis may be made by individual instructors. Additional exam accommodations cannot be made unless a written request is sent to and approved by the appropriate Department Head prior to the scheduled exam. Any student who misses a scheduled exam without approval is given a grade of 0% for that exam.

Repeating a Course Students may repeat any College course. All courses attempted are recorded on the student’s permanent record. However, only the higher grade is considered in the calculation of the cumulative grade point average. It should be noted that other institutions to which the student might transfer may interpret course repeats differently.

Face-to-face semestered courses have a start and end date as per the fall, winter or spring semester of the College. Taught in a designated classroom at designated times.

Directed Studies courses (continuous intake) are self-paced courses that students enrol in and can receive instructor support in a face-to-face classroom. There is no formal lecture/instruction but students can work on their studies in the classroom. Exams and quizzes are required to be written in the face-to-face environment. Students can attend the ‘classroom’ based on their needs. Funded students have to attend the classroom as per their funding requirement.

Students can enrol and start at any time throughout the teaching year and can take many months/years to complete their course work. Most ABE Directed Studies Courses are not offered after the end of May. End dates are determined each year. Check the College website for up-to-date information.

Directed Studies courses online are similar to the classroom Directed Studies courses but are offered in an online format (on the computer). Students taking Directed Studies online courses or Directed Studies Biology, Chemistry or Science courses must take face-to-face labs.

Admission Requirements Students at all of our campuses must see an Educational Advisor before registering. An assessment of academic skills may be recommended. The assessment is used to identify a person’s present academic skill level, find out if he/she qualifies for exemptions from course/program prerequisites and help in course selection.

Program Overview The Practical Nursing Access Program is designed for Health Care Assistants (formerly Resident Care/Home Support Attendants) who would like to upgrade their skills to gain a Practical Nursing diploma. The underlying assumption of this program is that learners enter the program with the education background and practice experience that will allow them to bridge into the Provincial Practical Nursing Program (PPNP).

In the Access Semester, students complete 22 weeks of online coursework followed by 9 weeks of Integrated Nursing Practice and Consolidated Practice Experience at facilities in Cranbrook. Upon successful completion of the Access Semester, students are eligible to enter Semesters 3 and 4 of the PPNP at COTR. This program allows students the option to continue working on a part-time basis for the 22 weeks while studying online before committing to the final 9 weeks of practice education and 8 months of full-time study in a face-to-face classroom, lab and practicum settings in Cranbrook.

Aboriginal Education Support Worker Diploma Program Overview COTR was the first post-secondary institution in BC to offer an Aboriginal Education Support Worker (AESW) diploma program. Today it is still the only BC institution that offers this program for local and online students in-community and other areas of the province. The initial development of the COTR AESW program was based upon the input from extensive consultations with Aboriginal communities, students, support workers and educators throughout the region. The program is designed for individuals with interest in working with, and supporting, Aboriginal students in public, Aboriginal or private K-12 schools. Those already working as an AESW can undergo a flexible assessment process at COTR that may credit their existing experience and/or credentials toward the diploma.

The AESW program includes 19 academic, cultural and applied courses. There are also two practicum experiences. The diploma was designed to prepare support workers with knowledge and skills to better support Aboriginal students, their families and school communities in a culturally appropriate and respectful manner.

Dean of Instruction: Darrell Bethune, BA, MA Department Head: Ildi Walkley, BEd, MAEd Program Coordinator and Faculty: Brian Bell, HBA Outdoor Recreation

Program Overview The Mountain Adventure Skills Training (MAST) program offers nine months of intensive training and instruction in a wide range of technical outdoor adventure activities. Led by professional guides through a progressive, hands-on approach, students can develop skills that enable them to travel safely in the mountains.

Along with these practical skills, the MAST program addresses business, leadership, and risk management aspects of the adventure tourism industry with six college-level academic courses involving in-class lectures, lab work, individual and group projects.

The seasonal nature of outdoor adventure means that students are very busy in the field in September, October, April and May. Classroom academic courses are generally compressed and take advantage of marginal weather seasons.

Students must expect and be prepared to be challenged by all possible varieties of extreme weather conditions while outdoors and by stringent academic schedules while completing core courses indoors. Once the legendary Fernie snowpack is laid down in December, students begin intensive backcountry skiing.

Location: • Fernie Campus Delivery (intake): • Face-to-Face (Sep) Credentials: • Mountain Adventure Skills Training Certificate Cost: • Current tuition and fees for Domestic and International students are posted on the COTR website.

Students get an opportunity to explore the alpine backcountry of BC while discovering a philosophy of risk management and group leadership.

Tuition Includes: • Season ski pass at Fernie Alpine Resort • Group equipment - tents, ropes, rafts, canoes, kayaks, cooking equipment (except as noted on personal equipment list) • Transportation and accommodation during out-trips • Textbooks for core courses • Free access to Fernie Campus climbing gym and computer lab Program Faculty Positive learning relationships are formed between the student and the Guide/Instructors who are present throughout the progression of skills courses. The student/instructor ratio is 6:1 for skills courses and courses are taught by instructors who are certified and experienced in their fields. Students are mentored by professionals working in the industry guiding and operating businesses in cat/heli skiing, whitewater rafting, rock and ice climbing. Many have been working with the MAST program for more than five years and enjoy the physical and technical nature of the courses.

Career Options The MAST program is designed to help graduates find employment in entry-level adventure tourism jobs. The skills certifications and academic courses are tailored to the type of student who desires to be proficient and safe in backcountry travel.

The MAST program has been in operation for more than 15 years. Many of our graduates own and manage adventure companies from Fernie to Alaska. Depending on individual expertise and motivational level, graduates of the MAST program have gained employment in a large variety of adventure operations.

Most jobs are seasonal. Some examples of actual MAST graduate jobs include: raft guiding in BC, Alaska and New Zealand; cat ski trail guiding in BC; outdoor educational centre instructor and management positions; ski and snowboard instructor; sea kayak guide – BC Coast; adventure sports camp instructor/guide; climbing gym instructor; wilderness youth at-risk programs; fly fishing guide; rock climbing instructor – California; canoe guide – Yukon; Outward Bound instructor – Canada and USA.

ANTH-211 - Anthropology of Gender (3) [45] This course explores the concept of gender in varying cultural contexts including our own. Gender has both biological and social significance, and therefore is important in reproducing culture. The concept of gender socially organizes everyday life and conveys a sense of worth to individuals and groups.

People enculturate their children with gender expectations and roles; thus gender concepts are passed on from generation to generation. Gender is a salient feature of marriage, sexuality, and self presentation and affects many other cultural practices such as language, demeanour, and physical activity. Various modes of subsistence are linked to gender-based patterns of work and the differential valuation of females and males. Furthermore, political and religious institutions and ideologies rationalize the differential treatment of women and men.

Ultimately, by analyzing the relationship of gender to other aspects of culture we can gain a greater appreciation for the strength of the concept and the diversity of cultures around the world (including cultures that have more than two genders).

ANTH-250 - Aboriginal Community Health and Healing (3) [45] This course engages students in an in-depth study of the traditional and contemporary approaches used by Aboriginal people to support and healthier communities from a contemporary anthropological, decolonized and indigenized approach.
