4) PROGRAM OVERVIEW
4.1 Program Description
Students are registered as apprentices at the beginning of the program to a consortium
of local employers and will complete three different in-school apprenticeship training
5
components in tractor loader backhoe, dozer and excavator. The objective of the Heavy
Equipment Operator program is to provide the student with a combination of training in
core heavy equipment operator skills as well as trade-related skills such as
mathematics, computer applications and communications. Graduates of the program
will have demonstrated the ability to operate equipment in a safe and efficient manner,
perform pre-op inspections and preventative maintenance, install attachments, load and
unload equipment, and read and interpret legislation, site plans, and manufacturer
manuals.
4.2 Program Learning Outcomes
Program learning outcomes can be found on the Heavy Equipment Operator program
page of the college’s website.
4.3 Program Curriculum Sequence
Current Program Design
Students can find their program design on the Student Portal by following the steps
below:
1. Log in to the Student Portal
2. Click on ‘My Courses tab
3. Select ‘View Progress Report’ button
Courses are listed by level/semester. Students can also view courses for the most
current program design for this academic year on the Conestoga College website. To
find these courses, students need to scroll down the page to the ‘Program Courses’.
5) PROGRAM INFORMATION & STANDARDS
5.1 Academic Assistance
Academic assistance is available to students through a variety of avenues. The
program coordinator and faculty can advise students on specific program and course
information such as adding / dropping courses, special timetabling, etc.
Students can also access the Learning Commons website for detailed information on
the academic services they provide, including learning skills, peer services, math and
writing assistance.
Conestoga College is committed to providing a safe and accessible environment for
students with disabilities. Accommodating disabilities at the college is a shared
responsibility between students, faculty and administration. Students are responsible for
providing relevant and up to date documentation of their disability to Accessibility
6
Services, when they first register. This documentation will allow the student to be
considered for accommodations and access to available services.
5.2 Student Services
Refer to the Student Guide for information on student services including Counselling,
Student Financial Services and Student Life.
5.3 Academic Dates
Follow the link for a listing of important academic dates for the current school year,
including a list of holidays when classes are cancelled. Students should be aware that
programs within the School of Trades and Apprenticeship do not necessarily follow all of
the listed dates. Speak with the program coordinator regarding program-specific dates,
including Study Week, if applicable.
Program start and end dates, holidays and deadlines for course add / drop and
withdrawal are located in the Student Guide. Course changes (add / dropping) may also
be made through the Student Portal under the ‘My Courses’ tab.
5.4 Credit Transfers
Advanced standing is the admission of a student into a program in a semester beyond
semester one of their program based on previous post-secondary learning and / or life
and work experience.
Credits can be transferred for students who have proven that they have comparable or
equivalent learning in a formal educational environment. Course learning outcomes will
be the criteria for determining exemptions. The notation of “G” is used for the grade.
Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) is the method to establish eligibility
for a credit in a given course for students who have proven that they have comparable
or equivalent learning through significant life and work experience.
The maximum credits allowed through credit transfers and credits obtain through PLAR
is 75 per cent of the program credits. Therefore, at least 25 per cent of the program
credits must be taken under the direct supervision of Conestoga College faculty. Please
note that PLAR and credit transfers can result in a status change to ‘part-time’, which
could impact OSAP and other services offered through the Financial Aid office. In
addition, students will not receive any tuition refunds or reduced tuition costs. Visit
the Credit Transfer Office and PLAR webpages for more information.
Note: When a student moves from one Conestoga College program to another and
where course numbers are identical, automatic credit is given if program passing grades
are met. The course grade from the original course will stand.
7
5.5 Academic Standing and Promotion Requirements – Program Standard
It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that they have fulfilled the program design
requirements necessary to graduate. If for any reason a student is concerned about
their academic progress, they should arrange to meet with a full-time faculty member or
the program coordinator.
Students must achieve a minimum passing grade of 55 per cent in all courses in
semester 2 and 70 per cent in all courses in semesters 1 and 3. Failure or withdrawal
from any course(s) may result in the student not being promoted to the next academic
level.
If a student withdraws from the program for any reason, they have a maximum of five
years from their original start date in order to complete the program requirements and
earn the related and current certificate or diploma. If the program design changes
significantly during this timeframe there may be the necessity to fulfill additional program
requirements.
Common Academic Decisions
At the end of each level / semester, the program team reviews students’ grades. Below
are the most common academic decisions issued by the program team:
Eligible to Continue
Students that pass all courses, and complete their electives, are eligible to
continue in the program.
Decisions (Pending)
Students that fail one course may request a supplemental assessment.
Supplemental Assessment: Students who have failed one course may
request a supplemental assessment (a “make-up”). It is the student’s
responsibility to check the grade postings. It is not the responsibility of the
professor to seek out the student and offer a supplemental. Supplemental
assessments may be approved by faculty, or the program team, if the
student meets the following academic criteria:
1. No more than one failed course (F grade) in the semester.
2. The failed course (F grade) was within 5 marks (5 percentage
points – 50 per cent to 54 per cent) of the required passing grade
of 55 per cent or was within 10 marks (10 percentage points – 60
per cent to 69 per cent) of the required passing grade of 70 per
cent.
3. Attended 80 per cent or more of the classes in the course in
question.
4. No more than one other supplemental assessment over the
duration of the program.
5. Must have passed at least one formal evaluation in the course.
8
The test must be completed within three weeks from the end of the
semester. To register for a supplemental, the student must have an
Authorization for Supplemental form completed and signed by the program
coordinator and submit the appropriate fee ($40.00) to the Registrar’s
Office. The student must provide proof of fee payment at the time of the
supplemental exam.
Failure in the supplemental will result in no change to the original course
grade. Successful completion of the supplemental evaluation will result in
the minimum passing grade being awarded. The final grade as a result of
the supplemental will be automatic and is ineligible for appeal.
Discontinuance, Withdrawals and Probation
If a student fails an elective course they must make up the credits prior to the
completion of the program. If the failed course occurs in the final semester of the
program, the student has five years from their start date in the program to earn
the missing credits.
If a student fails a core course, i.e. non-elective, they may be discontinued in the
program. Students may also be discontinued from a program based on
misconduct, or in some sponsored programs, for lack of attendance.
For further information on discontinuance, withdrawals and probation, visit
the Admissions section of the college website.
Discontinuance: Registered but Did Not Attend (DNA)
A missed course, DNA, will be considered as a course failure (mark of “F”) for
purposes of discontinuance. Refer to the student guide for the refund deadline.
5.6 Attendance - Program Standard
Students are required to demonstrate the same attention to punctuality, attendance and
safety as would be required by the business or industry in which they are or expect to
be employed.
Attendance for each course will be monitored. If a student knows in advance that they
will miss one or more classes (authorized absence), they must contact the faculty
involved and let them know before the occurrence.
An authorized absence is defined as, but not limited to, illness requiring the care of a
doctor, death of an immediate family member, or severe weather. All other absences
are considered unauthorized. Regardless of explanation, if a student is absent they
must contact the appropriate faculty or leave a message with campus administration.
In the event of an absence, it is the student’s responsibility to make up the missed work.
Due to limited shop / lab availability missed labs may result in a zero mark at the
discretion of the faculty.
9
Students that arrive late for a scheduled class will be counted as absent after 20
minutes from the start of the class. Students that leave early, 20 minutes before the end
of class, will also be counted as absent.
The School of Trades and Apprenticeship uses a ‘flag’ system to track unauthorized
absences. The first missed class will result in a verbal warning. The second missed
class will result in a ‘blue flag’ being issued. The third missed class will result in a ‘red
flag’ being issued. At this point, a meeting will take place between the student and
program coordinator and the student runs the risk of being ineligible for supplemental
assessment opportunities due to poor attendance as well as possible discontinuance in
the program.
If a student is to be absent from class due to a religious holiday, arrangements must be
made in advance in accordance with Conestoga College’s ‘Religious Holiday Policy and
Procedure’.
5.7 Evaluations (Deadlines, Tests and Examinations) – Program Standard
The School of Trades and Apprenticeship has programs directly associated with
industries that require commitment to deadlines. As part of our role as an educational
institute, we emulate the ‘real world of work’ to provide students with the opportunity to
recognize the essential skills required to be successful in their future career(s).
As such, the School of Trades and Apprenticeship has a ‘zero tolerance’ rule for
unsubstantiated late submissions of assignments and projects.
Cases whereby the submission did not meet the deadline, due to medical illness, an
accident, or a death in the immediate family, supporting formal documentation, such as
doctor’s note, police report and / or medical forms, or copy of death certificate will be
required. This must be included with the late submission and personally delivered to the
appropriate faculty member and / or program coordinator.
This process ensures that all students within the School of Trades and Apprenticeship
are following academic / industry protocol and are all treated fairly and equally in their
evaluations.
Under no circumstances will a test or examination be permitted to be made up or rewritten for an unauthorized absence. A mark of zero will be recorded for any test or
examination that a student misses for an unauthorized absence. Students are required
to contact the appropriate faculty member prior to the scheduled test or examination if
they know they will be absent. In the case of an authorized absence it is the student’s
responsibility to make arrangements with the appropriate faculty member to complete
the exam or test immediately upon their return to school.
5.8 Course Add/Drop
10
Due to the nature of School of Trades and Apprenticeship Program Designs, only in
exceptional circumstances will students be permitted to add or drop courses.
Information on the course add / drop process can be found on the website; however, the
program coordinator should be consulted by the student prior to the completion of
a Course Add/Drop or Audit Form.
5.9 Program Transfer
Students who wish to transfer to another program with advanced standing, (e.g. into
another motive power program), will need to complete paperwork in advance. Students
are to speak with the program coordinator to determine if space exists and to obtain the
relevant paperwork. When a student moves from one Conestoga program to another
and where course numbers / codes are identical or equivalent, automatic credit is given
if passing grades are met.
5.10 Graduation
Students are eligible to graduate upon completion of all academic requirements in their
program of study, including co-op placements if applicable. Students are expected to
respond to their invitation through their Student Portal. Convocation ceremonies are
held in the spring and fall of each academic year. Students, who take longer than the
advertised program length, are responsible for completing any new or additional
courses due to a program design change. Students who complete their program after
the scheduled completion date are required to fill out an Application to Graduate for and
submit it with payment to the registrar’s office. Students who are discontinued or have
withdrawn and then return to the college will be placed in the current program design
and must meet all requirements to graduate. Rules surrounding graduating with merit
are outlined on the academic recognition section of Conestoga’s website.
5.11 Program Advisory Committee (PAC)
Each program at Conestoga has a Program Advisory Committee (PAC), which is made
up of industry and academic representatives, as well as current students. They meet
several times a year to discuss the direction in which that industry is heading and any
improvements that can be made to keep the program current. This helps to ensure that
students are learning material that is relevant to their industry. At the beginning of each
year, the coordinator of the program will ask for student volunteers. The coordinator will
decide which students will represent the program. (One student from each year of the
program will be selected.) The student representatives are expected to attend the
meetings. Students must prepare and submit a report based on guidelines provided by
the program chair / coordinator which will be presented at the meeting. Students are
expected to be professional, dress in business attire and engage in discussions.
5.12 Communication – Program Standard
11
Conestoga College and eConestoga student email accounts will be used to
communicate to students via email. Students are expected to regularly check their email
accounts. Faculty will not respond to emails from non-Conestoga email addresses.
Faculty will respond to student emails by the end of the next business day after receipt
of an enquiry.
The email utility in eConestoga is permitted for course content-related items only.
5.13 Co-operative Education Policy
Not applicable to this program.
5.14 Awards – College Application Procedure
Conestoga has more than 400 awards, bursaries, scholarships and academic grants
available to Conestoga students. These funds are made available to our students
through the partnerships we have established with local business and industry leaders.
To be considered for an award, complete the General Application available through the
Student Portal. Notifications and instructions to complete the application will be sent to
all full-time Conestoga students’ email accounts in the Fall semester (Deadline: First
Friday in October) and Winter semester (Deadline: First Friday in February). Visit
The Financial Aid and Student Awards Office on Conestoga’s website for more
information.
Awards – Program Specific
Every year, the School of Trades and Apprenticeship hosts an awards ceremony in May
where close to $100,000 worth of monetary and product prizes are awarded to
deserving students. Students are to speak with faculty for more information on possible
awards.
5.15 Co-Curricular Record
Conestoga’s Co-Curricular Record (CCR) enhances your growth and development
outside the classroom. The CCR is an official document, complementary to your
academic transcript, which recognizes and records learning that you have achieved
through approved co-curricular experiences at Conestoga College.
5.16 Student Feedback
Student feedback is an essential component of our continuous improvement process.
Our opportunities for student feedback include:
Student Appraisal of Teaching (SAT)
12
The SAT allows direct feedback from students on teaching for a particular course.
Completion of the SAT form gives teachers and academic managers valuable
information to use for improving teaching at Conestoga.
The SAT process occurs at semester-end. One-quarter of the faculty is appraised per
term, and each has two courses selected by their academic managers for appraisal. All
teachers have a SAT review at least once every two years. Students complete either an
electronic or paper copy of the SAT. A summary of results is prepared by Institutional
Research. The report is sent to the Academic Manager who shares the report with the
faculty member AFTER all marks for the semester have been collected.
Key Performance Indicators (KPI)
All college programs in the province are evaluated using Key Performance Indicators
(KPIs) through the Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities (MTCU). This survey
is conducted each academic year. Strategic goals to improve the programs are
developed from these results. This data and other data specific to the campus and the
program / school are collected so that Conestoga College can continually improve
quality.
5.17 Student Representation
CSI and Conestoga agree that a student has the right to invite a member of CSI to a
student / faculty meeting, provided that 24 hours advance notice is given to faculty. This
advance notice will ensure that all parties will have an opportunity to adequately prepare
for the meeting.
5.18 Required Equipment, Supplies and Texts
Faculty members are responsible for distributing a suggested minimum tool list, where
applicable. Texts required for each course are included on the pertinent course outline.
