    Academic Policies

    Course Registration

    Students enrolled in Griffin College Canada are responsible for the continuing completeness and accuracy of their own registration. It is the student’s responsibility to make sure that he/she meets prerequisite requirements for courses to take.

    By applying for Griffin College Canada, students also agree that all documentation submitted along with registration application form become the property of Griffin College Canada.

    a) welcome package,
    b) username and password to begin credit course immediately,
    c) principal greeting and teacher introduction,
    d) log in and attendance expectations,
    e) timelines for the completion of activities where appropriate, and,
    f) deadline date of five months with options for extension in writing to the Principal.

    Procedures for Students who Transfer Course
    A student, who registers and is enrolled into a course for less than two weeks and does not complete any form of assessment or evaluation in that course, may request to be transferred to another course. They must have made transfer request to the Principal within five school days of their initial enrolment. Upon approval by the Principal, it can proceed, but there will be $100 administration processing fee. The decision of the Principal will be considered final in all cases.

    Expectations of Students

    Successful students are responsible for their own organization and time management when taking online courses. Students should:

    • understand that taking a course on-line can be a challenging process;
    • learn independently with self-discipline and self-motivation;
    • keep track of assignments and meet deadlines with very limited accountability to others;
    • maintain credibility, honesty and accountability for work done in a proper manner; and, submit their own work and use resources with proper reference as strictly regulated in Griffin College Canada policies and procedures.

    Attendance Requirements

    • Regular attendance in any learning environment is of crucial importance to school success. Online learning environment is a flexible way of learning compared to traditional physical classroom settings. Students do not regularly see the teacher “face-to-face”. Griffin College Canada online program offers a form of “distance virtual education” with focus on teaching, rather than self-directed student learning.
    • A student must put in 110 hours of work in order to complete one credit course, while half credits and makeup credits require 55 hours. Due to the continuous entry and exit model of online education, hours rather than dates or periods are recorded as evidence of attendance.
    • Attendance is not only taken as the amount of hours students and teachers both login for lecture, but also involved with work done online, such as completion of research and enquiry for assignments; conferencing with the teacher and classmates; culminating project; and final exam. In Griffin College Canada, online courses are defined as fully online 110 hours including all activities, assessment and evaluation, etc.
    • Students who do not participate in their online course on regular basis will become impediments to the learning process and lose opportunity to assess. The Principal may intervene promptly in managing attendance, proper conduct, problems within various courses, and other matters so that the technology does not become a deterrent to effective learning.

    The following procedures will be strictly implemented to ensure that every student has strong attendance in each course: The Principal will maintain attendance records of each online course when students and teachers should login to courses according to prescribed calendar.

    • Students must login a minimum of three times a week. Frequent absence of online login, minimal participation or non-submission of assignments may be brought to the attention of the Principal by the subject teacher. The Principal may intervene in a positive and supportive manner to encourage attendance as well as promote learning experience.
    • Students and the parent(s)/guardian(s) of students under 18 years of age, who fail to log in due to technical problems should contact timely with Griffin College Canada according to attendance policy. With the support of technical team, the problems should be solved promptly. If not, students will be offered extension for continued studies.
    • Students who leave a course before completion must provide valid reasons to request either in writing to the Principal or over the phone.
    • The Principal will work with subject teachers to set manageable assessment and evaluation assignments early in the course, considering that some students might encounter any technology barriers.
    • Students who have not completed their course within five months from the day of enrolment in that course, will be considered as not enrolled from the course.

    Code of Students Behaviour

    • Students will respect one another, their teachers and school staff. There will be no tolerance for inappropriate behaviours based on race, skin pigmentation, creed, age, religion, sex, academic ability, social orientation, physical appearance and/or sexual orientation.
    • Because Griffin College Canada online course system is Internet based, there is also an expectation of the use of the Internet as it relates to Griffin College Canada . Students should review this course calendar to ensure that students are fully aware of behaviour expectations once registered. Plagiarism is included.

    The School’s Acceptable Use Policy

    • The school reserves the right to monitor all course materials and the like in user accounts on the secured file server in order to determine the appropriateness of computer use when a situation has arisen. The following processes have been put into place:
    • Student access into the Griffin College Canada online course system is provided with restricted permission, and students must follow the guidelines set by the Principal and federal laws.
    • If the online course system is used inappropriately or in a prohibited manner, the Principal reserves the right to terminate the registration or suspend the access. There is the possibility of further disciplinary action or even legal prosecution, if the appropriate laws or regulations deem it necessary.
    • It is important to be aware that all activities in an online environment are not regarded as private. The school reserves the right to monitor all course materials placed in a user’s account and to remove it if necessary.

    The security of the online environment is only effective when its users follow the rules.
    In Griffin College Canada, it is important for student user:

    • Never reveal your password of your course to any individual (except your parents or guardian);
    • Always report to your Principal immediately any email or chat message which either get your attention or requests inappropriate personal information from you;

    High School Graduation Requirements And Considerations

    The Credit System

    A credit is granted in recognition of the successful completion of a course that has been scheduled for a minimum of 110 hours, and has been developed from Ministry of Education curriculum guidelines or has been approved by the Ministry. Credits are granted by the Principal on behalf of the Ministry of Education. Ontario Curriculum Policy documents and outlines of courses are available for access and review at the principal’s office upon request.

    A half credit may be granted for each 55-hour part of a 110-hour ministry-developed course. Half-credit courses must comply with Ministry of Education requirements as outlined in the curriculum policy documents.

    For the purpose of granting a credit, “scheduled time” is defined as the time during which students participate in planned learning activities designed to lead to the achievement of the curriculum expectations of a course. Planned learning activities include interaction between the teacher and the student and assigned individual or group work (other than homework) related to the achievement of the learning expectations in the course.

    Mandatory Community Involvement Requirements and Procedures

    As part of the diploma requirements, every student who begins secondary school on Ontario is required to complete 40 hours of community involvement in order to receive Ontario Secondary School Diploma. These activities may be completed at any time during their years in Grades 9 to 12. The purpose of this requirement is to encourage students to develop a substantial understanding of the various social roles they can play in their community and to help them develop a strong sense of belonging within the community. The requirement is to be completed outside students’ regular instructional hours, in other words, the activities are to take place in students’ designated lunch hours, after school, on weekends, or during school holidays.

    Assessment And Evaluation Of Student Achievement

    The Ontario Ministry of Education states that the primary purpose of assessment and evaluation is to improve student learning. In Griffin College Canada, assessment, evaluation, and reporting system, which is based on the Ontario curriculum policies, aims to set high standards of achievement for all students and promote consistency in teaching and learning.

    To support this aim, teachers will collect information through assessment to provide descriptive feedback that guides the student’s efforts towards improvement.

    Teachers will use the Ministry achievement charts to evaluate evidence of the student’s performance demonstrated over time. Student achievement will be communicated formally to students and parents by means of the Provincial Report Card, which also provides a record of the learning skills demonstrated by the student.

    Definitions and Policies of Assessment and Evaluation

    In accordance with the Growing Success document issued by the Ontario Ministry of Education, assessment is the process of gathering information that accurately reflects how well a student is achieving the curriculum expectations in a subject or course. The primary purpose of assessment is to improve student learning. Evaluation is the process of judging the quality of student achievement of overall expectations.

    Assessment is a method and process for teachers to gather information from a variety of sources (including assignments, demonstrations, projects, performances, and tests) to accurately reflect how well a student is achieving the curriculum expectations in a subject or course. The Growing Success document distinguishes three types of assessment: assessment for learning, assessment as learning, and assessment of learning.

    Assessment for learning (diagnostic) records student’s prior knowledge, and helps assess future goals for individual improvement with respect to course curriculum expectations. It occurs through observation, before instruction and determines students’ readiness to learn new knowledge and skills; it also obtains information about students’ interests and learning preferences.
    Assessment as learning (formative) illustrates student’s progress through
    self-monitoring and self-critical assessment of learning. In assessment as learning, teachers help all students to develop their independent learning skills, ability to set individual goals, and measure and reflect on personal progress.
     Assessment of learning (summative) reports on student progress at the end of the task/unit/course in relation to curriculum learning outcomes; student’s application of key concepts, knowledge, skills, and attitudes are measured through culminating activities. This assessment occurs at or near the end of a period of learning, and may be used to inform further instruction.

    While assessment is more of a qualitative approach, evaluation focuses more on formatted testing of students’ academic performance. It is a process of judging the quality of student work on the basis of established criteria, and assigning a value to represent that quality. The value assigned will be in the form of a percentage grade. In Griffin College Canada, students will be evaluated based on the Achievement Charts in the Provincial Curriculum Policy Documents for the courses in which they are enrolled. Evaluation is based on the level of achievement the student demonstrates in the skills and knowledge covered in a course.

    Seventy percent (70%) of the evaluation is based on classroom work and may be determined through a variety of methods, such as ongoing class demonstrations, presentations, essays, performances and classroom tests and quizzes. Thirty percent (30%) of the evaluation is based on a final summative evaluation that may be determined through one or a variety of methods in the latter portion of the course, such as a portfolio, essay, examination and demonstration. This final evaluation reflects the range and level of student skills and knowledge towards the conclusion of the course and will give students an opportunity to synthesize the different aspects of their learning for each particular course.

    Assessment and evaluation methods at Griffin College Canada are based on the Ontario Provincial curriculum expectations and the achievement levels outlined in the curriculum policy document for each discipline. Through the well-designed assessment and evaluation, teachers in Griffin College Canada can be able to gather information to determine students’ strengths and weaknesses in their achievement of the curriculum expectations in each course. They can also adapt their curriculum and instructional approaches to students’ needs and assess the overall effectiveness of programs and classroom practices. In order to ensure that assessment and evaluation are valid and reliable, and that they lead to the improvement of student learning, teachers at Griffin College Canada are required to use assessment and evaluation strategies that conform to the following criteria based on the seven fundamental principals from the Growing Success document:

    • Are fair, transparent, and equitable for all students;
    • Are carefully planned to relate to the curriculum expectations and learning goals and, as much as possible, to the interests, learning styles and preferences, needs, and experiences of all students;
    • Are communicated clearly to students and parents at the beginning of the school year or course and at other appropriate points throughout the school year or course;
    • Are ongoing, varied in nature, and administered over a period of time to provide multiple opportunities for students to demonstrate the full range of their learning;
    • Provide ongoing descriptive feedback that is clear, specific, meaningful, and timely to support improved learning and achievement;
    • Develop students’ self-assessment skills to enable them to assess their own learning, set specific goals, and plan next steps for their learning.

    Achievement Levels

     Griffin College Canada Education sets achievement levels according to the curriculum expectations as described in the achievement charts in the secondary curriculum policy documents. The Levels of Achievement are organized into broad categories of knowledge and skills and teachers provide students with detailed descriptions of each level of achievement.

    The broad categories of knowledge and skills are: Knowledge/Understanding, Thinking/Inquiry, Communication, and Application/Making Connections. The names of the categories may vary slightly from one discipline to another, reflecting differences in the nature of the disciplines. The achievement levels provide a reference point for all assessment practice, and serve as a guide for gathering assessment information and a framework of assessing and evaluating each student’s achievement. As such, the achievement levels enable teachers to make consistent judgments about the quality of students’ work and to provide clear and specific information about their achievement to students and their parents.

    The levels of achievement are associated with percentage grades and are defined as follows:

    Level 4:

    80-100%

    		 Identifies achievement that surpasses the provincial standard.

    The student demonstrates the specified knowledge and skills with a high degree of effectiveness. However, achievement at level 4 does not mean that the student has achieved expectations beyond those specified for the grade/course.
    Level 3*:

    70-79%

    		 Represents achievement at the provincial standard.

    The student demonstrates the specified knowledge and skills with considerable effectiveness. Parents of students achieving at level 3 can be confident that their children will be prepared for work in subsequent grades/courses.
    Level 2:

    60-69%

    		 Represents achievement that is below, but approaching the provincial standard.

    The student demonstrates the specified knowledge and skills with some effectiveness. Students performing at this level need to work on identified learning gaps to ensure future success.
    Level 1:

    50-59%

    		 Represents achievement that falls much below the provincial standard.

    The student demonstrates the specified knowledge and skills with limited effectiveness. Students must work at significantly improving learning in specific areas, as necessary, if they are to be successful in the next grade/course.
    Below 50% ** Insufficient achievement of the curriculum expectations. A credit will not be granted for the course.

    *Note: Level 3 is defined as the provincial standard. A student achieving at this level is well prepared for work in the next grade or the next course.

    **Note: A student whose achievement is below 50% at the end of the course will not obtain a credit for the course.

    Evidence of Student Achievement for Evaluation

    Evidence of student achievement is collected over time from three different sources:
    observations
    conversations
    student products

    Using multiple sources of evidence increases the reliability and validity of the evaluation.

    Evaluation includes:

    • Reporting on student achievement of overall expectations.
    • Clear communication of criteria to students prior to learning activities. Students should be made aware of the evaluation process prior to beginning an assignment.
    • “Student products” in the form of tests or exams and/or assignments for evaluation. Such assignments may include rich performance tasks, demonstrations, projects and/or essays.
    • Equity for all students. Assignments for evaluation and tests or exams are to be completed, whenever possible, under the supervision of a teacher.
    • Sufficient evidence of student achievement within the four categories of the achievement chart is needed to determine grades and to demonstrate to the teacher, parents/guardians and students the level of achievement of the curriculum expectations at the time of reporting. The amount of evidence varies, depending on the grade and the curriculum.

    The evaluation of student learning is the responsibility of the teacher and must not include the judgement of the student or of the student’s peers.

    Final Examination

    In Griffin College Canada Education, all courses will have final. The formats for a final exam are subject to the teacher, the Principal and the Ministry of Education Curriculum guidelines and mandates. Griffin College Canada Education and the student will ensure that exams offered must be taken in a proper supervised location, thus ensuring the security and integrity of the exam is well maintained.

    Proctoring: A proctored exam is one that is monitored or supervised by an impartial individual, usually called a proctor, while a student is taking an exam. The responsibility of the proctor is to ensure the security and integrity of the exam process. When the student is taking an exam online instead of physically in a supervised classroom, the parent/guardian of the student can be the family proctor. The teacher then contacts the proctor to ensure credibility via a checklist and provides instructions for the exam in consultation with both the student and the proctor. The Proctor then provides evidence of supervision via a form that accompanies the exam back to the teacher. Students are personally responsible for any Proctor fee that arises.

    The Provincial Report Card

    In Griffin College Canada, student achievement is communicated formally to students and their parents/guardians by means of the Provincial Report Card. The report card documents the student’s achievement in every course, at particular points in the school year, in the form of a percentage grade. It also includes teachers’ comments on the student’s strengths and weaknesses, specifying the areas in which improvement is needed and the ways in which it might be achieved. The report card contains separate sections for recording attendance and for evaluating the student’s learning skills in every course.

    At the end of each course, a final grade is recorded, and credit is granted for every course in which the student’s grade is 50 per cent or higher (reflecting achievement at level 1 or above). The final grade for each course will be based on a) assessments and evaluations conducted throughout the course, and b) a final evaluation. The relative weights assigned to these two components are specified in the Ministry’s curriculum policy document: assessments and evaluations conducted throughout the course accounts for 70%; and final evaluation constitutes 30%.

    Policies and Procedures for Reporting and Communicating Student Achievement

    The teacher will maintain regular contact with the parent(s)/guardian(s) regarding the learning progress of students, as deemed appropriate to their age. Students will also receive continuous feedback on the course progress. Attendance will be monitored to ensure that course requirements are met. The parent(s)/guardian(s) will receive a final report card as deemed appropriate.

    The final grade for a course must be submitted by the subject teacher first to the Principal’s Office. The Principal will collect the final grade report(s) of all the courses currently offered in the term that contain students’ grades for every graded component of the course, and the percentage weighting of each component. Then the Principal will keep the hardcopies away in the central filing storage and saving the electronic copies in the computer database of student academic records. The final grades of all the courses each student has completed will be recorded in the Provincial Report Card provided to the student at the end of each course.

    Communication is vital for teaching and ensuring success and is a main category that is identified clearly in the Ministry of Education’s document Growing Success, 2010.The teachers and Griffin College Canada Education will determine the form of communicating with students and parent(s)/guardian(s).Various forms of communication may be employed by Griffin College Canada Education as acceptable for educational purposes only. The student will have access to the Griffin College Canada Education online course system, chat rooms and others such as uploaded audio or visual files. The teacher may also employ programs like Skype, QQ, WeChat, etc.

    Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition (PLAR)

     Prior learning includes the knowledge and skills that students have acquired, in both formal and informal ways, outside Ontario secondary school classrooms. Students may have their skills and knowledge evaluated against the overall expectations outlined in provincial curriculum policy documents in order to earn credits towards the secondary school diploma. The PLAR process involves two components: challenge and equivalency. The challenge process is the process whereby students’ prior learning is assessed for the purpose of granting credit for a course developed from a provincial curriculum policy document. The equivalency process involves the assessment of credentials from other jurisdictions. For students who are transferring from home schooling, a non-inspected private school, or a school outside Ontario, principals will grant equivalency credits for placement purposes based on their evaluation of the student’s previous learning. The Principal will determine the number of credits, including compulsory credits that a student needs in order to meet diploma credit requirements. The total number of equivalent credits and the corresponding number of compulsory credits will be recorded in a student’s OST.

    Griffin College Canada Education Procedure: Does not offer PLAR challenge. Griffin College Canada Education is prepared to accept students from out-of-province and grant equivalent credits if/when the student is enrolled as a full-time student where Griffin College Canada Education establishes and maintains the OSR.
