FOREWORD FROM THE ASSOCIATE DEAN
Welcome to Ryerson University—your university. At Ryerson we strive to help each student feel a part of our community. Despite our phenomenal recent growth, we still have a “small campus heart.” That’s why we formed the First-‐Year and Common Science Office (FYCSO) as a “home base” for all first-‐year Science students. We understand that the transition to university life can be difficult, and we are here for you. If you find yourself in the middle of a tough semester, in need of assistance or advice, whether academic or personal, you will find the counsellors and office staff friendly, approachable and eager to help. You will find us on the seventh floor of the Victoria Building (VIC), on Victoria Street between Dundas and Gould). You are welcome here.
Most students find that the expectations of a university are different from those of high school. At high school you might have taken four courses over five months. Here you will take five courses over three months. Self-‐discipline and time management are the keys to success. I urge all new students to create a weekly schedule that includes blocks of time for attending lectures and labs, completing assignments, studying, commuting, working, eating, sleeping, household management, and relaxation. For every hour of lecture attended you should expect to spend about two hours on studying and homework. Understanding where your time goes is very important; so is having realistic and manageable expectations.
Once you have adjusted to your new learning environment, you may want to get involved in your new community, to hone your leadership and “followship” skills. There are myriad opportunities for you, from joining a club or sports team to participating in University governance. If you would like to get involved, but are unsure where to start, we at the FYCSO can help.
You might also consider the many career development opportunities Ryerson offers through Student Services and other agencies. For example, at the end of your first semester, you may choose to complete your degree in a Co-‐operative Education Program. A Co-‐op degree takes only two semesters more than the regular program, yet the skills you will learn and the personal contacts you will make will be invaluable. In addition, your professors may offer you opportunities in their research laboratories right here on campus. Stay alert and watch for funding announcements, such as the Summer Research Assistantship program; those competitions are to help students obtain funding to work over the summer term in a research setting. High marks are essential for a successful application, so it is important to keep up with your studies during term.
This Handbook is a helpful introduction to the services available to you through the FYCSO. It also contains information about policies and procedures relevant to your education at Ryerson. You should take some time to read through it, and make sure you save it in an easy-‐to-‐find spot on your computer.
As you thread your way through campus life towards graduation, please keep in mind that you are not alone: We are here to help you be successful. I wish you all the best in our studies, and I hope that you will all pass through the gates of Ryerson on your graduation day with fond memories, sharp minds and a strong desire to achieve.
Kind regards,
Darrick Heyd Associate Dean, Undergraduate Science Programs and Student Affairs

OVERVIEW OF SCIENCE PROGRAMS The Bachelor of Science programs in Biology, Chemistry, Contemporary Science, Medical Physics, and Mathematics and its Applications provide a career-‐oriented science education focused on current, relevant issues in modern science. Through a curriculum that emphasizes application as well as theory, a student will gain a sound knowledge of science principles, complemented by practical problem-‐solving skills and technological expertise.
All five programs offer a spectrum of scientific themes to explore. Best of all, they allow a freedom of choice in the direction of science education. A range of majors, minors, and specializations allows tailoring of a program that meets both a student’s interests and the development of multidisciplinary expertise that is in high demand at a time when many branches of science are converging and new sciences are being created.
All science programs offer a spectrum of specific themes for you to explore. Best of all, you have the freedom to choose the direction of your science education. Here is what each program is about;
BIOLOGY: The core curriculum is built around biochemistry, molecular biology, microbiology and environmental biology. Its strong applied focus emphasizes skills development, problem solving and technological innovation particularly in the areas of biotechnology and environmental science.
CHEMISTRY: The core curriculum encompasses all the traditional branches of the discipline through required and elective courses in organic, inorganic, physical, analytical, materials, pharmaceutical and computational chemistry; instrumentation, spectroscopy and chromatography; and environmental science.
CONTEMPORARY SCIENCE: You’ll gain a solid foundation in the classical aspects of science, but you’ll also learn how to apply your expertise in a modern way. In science today, the knowledge, methods and skills of formerly discrete disciplines are converging. Advances in such areas as new technology, health care and environmental sustainability have all arisen from the multidisciplinary application of science. You’ll study the relationships among these fields and disciplines and the ways in which they flow together. Most importantly – because this program emphasizes application as well as theory – you’ll learn how this understanding can be used to address contemporary issues and problems.
MATHEMATICS: You will study core courses in mathematics and also take a number of courses in an area of specialization choosing from Accounting, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Economics, Finance, or Physics. Two of the specializations – Computer Science and Economics – are also program options, as the number and depth of courses in these specializations is quite extensive.
MEDICAL PHYSICS: This program is built on foundation studies in physics and mathematics, the core elements of a traditional physics degree. The program becomes more professionally specialized in the upper years with the addition of discipline-‐specific courses in medical imaging, radiation therapy, health physics and radiation protection.
8
UNDECLARED SCIENCE: Students who are not yet sure about which science discipline is of interest to them enroll in this plan of study. The first and second semester curriculum is exactly the same as that of any of the other five science plans currently offered by the Faculty. All of the information provided in the plan description of these science plans is relevant and applicable to the undeclared science students.
Undeclared science students must, by no later than February 2nd, declare their intention to enroll in a plan of their choice from one of the five science plans currently offered (i.e., Biology, Chemistry, Contemporary Science, Mathematics and its Applications, Medical Physics). During the course intention period, students will select applicable courses for the fall and winter terms of their second year from their chosen plan.
PLAN/MAJOR CHANGE For information on Plan/Major changes please see: http://www.ryerson.ca/RAMSSsupport/ugrad_grad/academics/change_plan_or_major/
Before attempting to change your Plan/Major, check your program information to find out if and when you must change your major. After winter grading, you will be notified by your program department if you do not meet your plan’s criteria.
You are only permitted to make one Plan/Major change from one plan to another online. For any further Plan/Major changes, you must submit a Plan Change Form to your Program Department.
Plan Change Form can be found here:
http://www.ryerson.ca/currentstudents/forms/planchange.pdf
The chart on the following page illustrates the range of possibilities regarding degree choices. Depending on which program a student chooses, the cross-‐disciplinary linkages may include combinations of chemistry, biology, physics, computational sciences, informatics, environmental sciences, psychology, and management. The business management option is available to all science students, regardless of whether they choose to do a minor, subject of specialization, or neither.

GLOSSARY OF SELECTED SCIENCE OPTIONS Biology: Biophysics: An interdisciplinary science that applies the theories and methods of physics to
biological questions. Typically addresses biological problems at the molecular level by drawing knowledge and experimental techniques from a wide variety of disciplines to indirectly observe or model the structures and interactions of individual molecules or complexes of molecules.
Computational Biology: Integrates training in genomics, proteomics, and the computational methods (bioinformatics) needed to analyze information generated in these fields. Computational biology is an essential tool of modern biotechnology research and will support advances in new fields of scientific endeavour such as biological and ecological modeling.
Chemistry: Applied Physics: Gives the opportunity to link two fundamental sciences, chemistry and physics, in understanding the laws of nature. This specialization will examine different phenomena, and the relationship between chemistry and physics in explaining them, based on an adaptable problem-‐solving approach that is easily transferred between the disciplines.
Contemporary Science:
GROUP A:
Computer Sciences: This stream incorporates mathematics and its applications of computing in solving complex mathematical problems (such as statistics and modeling) associated with contemporary science.
Informatics: This computer science-‐ and mathematics-‐based stream focuses on information management such as storage, retrieval, large database management, computing technologies, and applications in science.
Physics: This stream emphasis on molecular interactions in biological, chemical, and physical processes.
GROUP B:
Biology: This stream incorporates biology and biochemistry with emphasis on molecular interactions in biological, chemical, and physical processes.
Chemistry: This stream incorporates chemistry and biochemistry with emphasis on molecular interactions in biological, chemical, and physical processes.
Environmental Sciences: This stream incorporates the basic sciences, including biology and chemistry, and specific courses in biotechnology, ecology, limnology, ecotoxicology, microbiology, and environmental science.
Psychology: This stream and minor in biology focuses on the science, health applications, and social/cultural dimensions of psychology.
Mathematics:
Computer Science: It provides the opportunity to take many more courses in that subject.
Economics: For those who wish to explore the relationship between mathematics and economics.
11
COMMON FIRST YEAR All students in the science programs complete a common first year (see table below). This provides the opportunity to explore various science-‐based routes to degree completion before a student commits to a particular program, typically at the end of the first year. In addition to BSc foundation courses, the first-‐year studies include an introduction to the use of computers as scientific tools, and an orientation course that will support a successful transition to university and planning a degree path.
In second year, students begin to focus the direction of their science education. Even then, significant portions of the biology and chemistry programs share common courses, allowing a student additional time for making a degree decision and allowing flexibility to change between these programs.
For further information on required courses and prerequisites please see Appendix II on page 39.

OPTIONAL SPECIALIZATION IN MANAGEMENT SCIENCES (OSMS) This optional specialization is designed to provide a student with a solid foundation in management sciences by offering a number of specialized courses. The courses are tailored to better prepare the student for a career in science management, or for graduate studies in management related specializations (e.g. MBA). Strong demand for Science graduates with acquired management training and skills makes the business management option an excellent tool for enhancing job prospects.
All students in the Faculty Science are eligible to enroll. The courses are only offered in the spring session, so they do not conflict with regular program studies. A special designation will be appended to the student’s degree title if they successfully complete, before graduation, all six courses with an average of 2.0 or better. In order to complete the courses without delaying graduation, students are encouraged to enroll after completing their first year. Inquire at the First-‐Year and Common Engineering Office for more information.

CO-‐OPERATIVE EDUCATION An optional co-‐operative program is available which provides the graduating students with 20 months of work experience that enhances their organizational and technical abilities as well as their oral and written communication skills.
Although the Department cannot guarantee a placement, they provide major assistance in locating suitable positions and counselling of students in their search for suitable jobs. This co-‐operative program enables students to earn competitive wages to offset the costs of a university education.
Students who have completed the first year of the program must apply through their program department (Chemistry and Biology, Mathematics or Physics) for admission to the co-‐operative program prior to the beginning of the second year. Enrollment in the co-‐op program is limited. Admission will be based on the student's grade point average. For more information, please read http://www.ryerson.ca/calendar/2012-‐2013/pg2954.html
Co-‐Op: What is it?
As a co-‐op student, you alternate between academic and work terms over a three-‐year period. The first work term begins in the summer following the end of our second year or fourth semester.
Co-‐Op Schedule
Year Term 1 2 3 4 5 Fall SEM 1 SEM 3 SEM 5 WKT 601 SEM 7
Winter SEM 2 SEM 4 WKT 500 SEM 6 SEM 8 Summer FREE WKT 401 WKT 501 WKT 602 GRAD
As a co-‐op student, you may work for anywhere between one and five employers, as you choose. Many co-‐op students like to diversify as much as possible to get a clearer view of the type of company, and type of job, where they experience the best fit. Others prefer to invest their time in just one or two companies.
Note: You must complete at least four of the five work terms to receive credit for a co-‐op degree.
14
STUDENT ACTIVITIES There is no better time to establish a community of science. The Faculty of Engineering, Architecture, and Science, along with the First Year and Common Science Office would like to encourage enthusiastic students to step forward and become leaders in their community or simply become involved. There are many ways to be active in science and many benefits as well. Some examples are:
Clubs: The creation of science-‐oriented clubs would be a great way to meet students who have similar interests as yours. Clubs typically organize events that range from purely social to more academic in nature, such as hosting guest speakers, career nights, and tours of local industries. If the club is affiliated with an organization, for example, the Chemical Institute of Canada, then students may also get access to other benefits such as scholarships, awards, and employment databases.
Course Unions: These groups represent the common interests of students in every program at Ryerson University. Course Unions advocate on your behalf, build connections to your industry, and plan social and educational events. If you would like to get involved, please contact a member of the executive. They can be contacted via blackboard.
Check out the Science @ Ryerson site on RAMSS at my.ryerson.ca under “Course Unions”
Science Outreach: Some science students in the Faculty of Engineering, Architecture, and Science are involved in science outreach programs with local schools. Students interested in getting involved in science outreach projects will be given the opportunity. For more information, please contact Mira Grkavac in the Outreach Office. Office of Science Outreach and Enrichment: Dr. Emily Agard, Coordinator Office: KHE 124 EXT. 2057 [email protected] Mira Grkavac , Program Facilitator Office: KHE 124 Ext. 4100 [email protected] Science Rendezvous: “Science and Engineering @ Ryerson” is Ryerson’s contribution to Science Rendezvous, Canada’s largest public science festival. Inquisitive minds will find interactive exhibits and demonstrations across the campus that present an intriguing and engaging look at scientific marvels and technological masterpieces. Science Rendezvous is a free grassroots festival targeted to people of all ages. It takes place in early May and is a collaborative partnership between educational institutions, libraries, civic institutions, science-‐based associations and outreach programs, and industry, to promote science awareness, culture and literacy, encouraging a public understanding of the great impact science and technology has on our lives and our changing world and on the importance of a science culture in a civil society. In 2012 SR events were held across Canada with venues from Vancouver to St. John’s Newfoundland. http://www.sciencerendezvous.ca/2012/

RYERSON A TO Z ACADEMIC CONSIDERATION AND APPEALS The Undergraduate Academic Consideration and Appeals Policy may be found in its entirety at http://www.ryerson.ca/senate/policies/pol134.pdf or in the Student Guide. The following is only a brief summary of some of the policy’s key points.
Note: If during the semester you experience medical or compassionate circumstances, which may later affect your academic standing, it is your responsibility to bring the situation to the attention of the First Year and Common Science Office (FYCSO) at the earliest possible time. Please see the Missed Evaluations section under ‘M’.
Ryerson University is committed to promoting academic success and to ensuring that students’ academic records ultimately reflect their academic abilities and accomplishments. The University expects that academic judgments by its faculty will be fair, consistent and objective, and recognizes the need to grant academic consideration, where appropriate, in order to support students who face personal difficulties or events. Academic consideration is the general name given to a number of different alternate arrangements that may be made, dependent upon the circumstances and what is appropriate for both the students and the University, such as the extension of a deadline for an assignment, re-‐weighting of an exam or assignment because of missed work, the permission to continue on probationary status or the provision of an Aegrotat standing. It should be understood that students can only receive grades which reflect their knowledge of the course material.
If you are facing circumstances beyond your control that are preventing you from performing well academically, you may be eligible for academic consideration. You should always make such circumstances known to the FYCSO before, and not after, the academic damage has occurred. Upon receiving proper medical and/or other documentation, the FYCSO will circulate a message to your instructors, requesting that they give you due consideration based on the circumstances. Claims of difficult circumstances affecting academic performance will not be given much weight if they are made after an academic failure has occurred, unless the student can clearly justify, with supporting evidence, why they were unable to come forward with their situation sooner.
You have the right to request a number of academic considerations given valid justifications in support of your request. This includes, for example, asking that you be allowed to write a make-‐up examination in lieu of a scheduled one that you cannot or could not attend. It also includes dropping a course after the deadline, as long as you provide valid justifications. Work commitment cannot be used in support of such requests. You also have the right to see all your graded work, including your final exam, and to ask for reassessment of that work. You must provide substantive reasons when asking for a re-‐grading, and must make your request within ten working days from the date you received back the work. Requests for the re-‐grading of a final exam must be made by the deadline date for appeals.
The Undergraduate Academic Consideration and Appeals Policy describes the grounds and process by which students may appeal if they believe the academic consideration provided was not appropriate or if they were unable, for medical or compassionate reasons, to seek academic consideration. The deadline for appealing a grade or academic standing for F2010 is Friday January 14 and for the W2011 is Friday, May 27, 2011. Appropriate forms and instructions are available at the FYCSO or at http://www.ryerson.ca/essr/appeals/ .
There are two types of appeals:
(1) GRADE APPEAL -‐ Must be filed with the department that offered the course you are appealing.
(2) STANDING APPEAL -‐ Must be filed with the First Year & Common Science Office.
23
NOTE 1: There are three appeal levels for both grade and standing appeals.
NOTE 2: Since the appeal of a grade may have an effect upon your standing, you must attach a copy of any grade appeals to a standing appeal.
NOTE 3: You must make a copy of your entire appeal before submitting it to the appropriate department.
ACADEMIC INTEGRITY Information on Academic Integrity can be found at www.ryerson.ca/academicintegrity.
ACADEMIC STANDING In undergraduate degree programs, each student's Academic Standing will be established from the student's formal course grades at the end of each academic term on the basis of the following categories and criteria for overall academic performance:
CLEAR -‐ a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of at least 2.00 (except where the student has violated an approved Department/School Standing variation or, while on Probation, the student has violated the terms of their Probationary Contract). Students with CLEAR Standing may continue their program studies with no restrictions except for the obligation to satisfy prerequisite requirements.
PROBATIONARY -‐ a cumulative grade point average (CGPA) of 1.00 to 1.99. Students with PROBATIONARY Standing may not continue their program studies until a Probationary Contract outlining a specific plan for studies and academic supports has been authorized by their Department/School, and signed by the student. Students who fail to have such a Probationary Contract by the last date to add courses for the semester will have their course enrollments and course intention requests cancelled for the term in question and will be REQUIRED TO WITHDRAW (RTW) from their program unless their Department/School determines otherwise. Students with a PROBATIONARY Standing at the start of any semester will be eligible to continue their studies in a subsequent semester as long as they achieve a term grade point average (TGPA) of 2.00 or higher and provided they meet the terms of their Probationary Contract and do not violate approved Department/School Standing variations. Failure to meet the terms of the Probationary Contract as set out by the Department/School will result in the students being REQUIRED TO WITHDRAW from their Ryerson program.
REQUIRED TO WITHDRAW -‐ Students will be REQUIRED TO WITHDRAW from their program for one of the following reasons: i. A CGPA of less than 1.00 (except students enrolled in their first semester); or ii. A term GPA below 2.00 while on PROBATION; or iii. Violation of any approved Department/School Standing variation; or iv. Violation of a Probationary Contract (including unauthorized changes to the contract or failure to negotiate a Probationary Contract). No student in their first semester at Ryerson will be REQUIRED TO WITHDRAW (RTW) in December. Students with a GPA of less than 1.00 in their first semester will be advised about their prospects for success. Such students who continue in their program for the subsequent Winter semester will do so on PROBATION. Students REQUIRED TO WITHDRAW from their program will not be eligible for reinstatement in their program for 12 months. However, in cases where a further semester of study could result in a CLEAR Standing by the end of
24
that semester, students may request the permission of their Department/School to continue to take courses on PROBATION in the immediately following semester (or a later semester with the permission of their Department/School). If the student fails to achieve a CGPA of 2.00 at the end of that semester, s/he will be REQUIRED TO WITHDRAW. Students who have been REQUIRED TO WITHDRAW from a Ryerson program may not continue their program studies. Applications for reinstatement to the student's original program or for transfer to another program will be considered. In such cases a student may not return to studies until 12 months have elapsed following the REQUIRED TO WITHDRAW standing (with the exception of students admitted to the Fresh Start Program, below). No courses taken between when a student is REQUIRED TO WITHDRAW and reinstatement or transfer to another program will be granted Ryerson credit. Applications for reinstatement will be considered by faculty and/or program admission committees based on criteria, assessments and/or procedures developed by the faculty or program in consultation with the Registrar's Office. Past academic performance and space availability will normally be considerations. Students who are reinstated to their program will be reinstated on PROBATION, and will be required to have a Probationary Contract. Some programs may reinstate students with a Probationary Contract which may significantly restrict course load and require successful completion of specific program courses. Programs may also specify grades which must be achieved. Successful completion will allow the student to continue on PROBATION (or CLEAR Standing if a CGPA of 2.00 or higher is achieved). Students who are unsuccessful will be permanently withdrawn from their program. Normally a student may not receive more than one Probationary Contract of this sort.
FRESH START EXTENDED ACADEMIC PROBATION
Applicable to All Science Programs (and their variants). Students meeting the criteria below will be considered for admission to the Fresh Start Program.
Criteria for Admission into Fresh Start a) To be considered, a student must have a minimum of six graded courses on their transcript. Pass/Fail
courses will not be counted towards the six b) Students with unresolved INC grades at the time of application will not be considered c) Minimum CGPA of 1.00 d) Students must remain withdrawn from their academic programs for a minimum of one semester
before applying for Fresh Start. Whenever possible, students will be assigned courses from their programmes; liberal electives will be assigned only if programme courses are not available. Students must complete the terms of their first semester EAP 1 contract to be eligible to continue in the following semester. Success in the EAP1 contract will require:
a) Successful completion of 1 (minimum) or 2 (maximum) program courses for credit (i.e. no pass/fail courses)
b) Successful completion of the learning skills workshop course CIFS 100. Student who successfully complete their EAP1 contracts will have the opportunity to continue on Extended Academic Probation with an EAP2 contract. Under this contract, students can take a maximum of four credit courses.
25
Success in the EAP1 contract will require:
a) a minimum term GPA (TGPA) of 2.00 b) a minimum of two graded courses c) no failed courses in the semester d) All INC grades must be cleared by the end of the second week of the following semester
When students have completed Fresh Start EAP1 and 2 contracts, they will be reinstated into their academic programs, Generally, students will be reinstated with Probationary standing, however it is possible for a student to be reinstated with Clear academic standing.
PERMANENT PROGRAM WITHDRAWAL -‐ Students will be permanently withdrawn from their program for the following reasons: i. Any academic performance that would result in 'REQUIRED TO WITHDRAW' Standing for a second time; or ii. Failure of a course required by their program for a third time; or iii. Failure to meet the terms of a Probationary Contract following return after a REQUIRED TO WITHDRAW Standing. Students who are permanently withdrawn from a program may not apply for reinstatement into that program. Students with a PERMANENT PROGRAM WITHDRAWAL standing may apply to a different program for the Fall semester of the following calendar year. However, not all programs will consider applicants who were permanently withdrawn from another Ryerson program, and a student would be advised to consult with University Admissions before applying to a new program.
Students who are permanently withdrawn from a program may not apply for reinstatement into that program. Students with a PERMANENT PROGRAM WITHDRAWAL standing may apply to a different program for the Fall semester of the following calendar year.
DISCIPLINARY SUSPENSION -‐ Students who have been placed on DISCIPLINARY SUSPENSION (DS) for Student Code of Conduct violations will not be permitted to enroll in any course at the University during their period of DISCIPLINARY SUSPENSION. Students who have served their period of DISCIPLINARY SUSPENSION must contact their Department/School to make arrangements for reinstatement.

The student should request academic consideration pending the submission of supporting documentation. b) The student must present valid, verifiable supporting documentation (eg. Ryerson Medical Certificate) to their program department within three business days of the missed evaluation. Students failing to follow these procedures correctly may jeopardize their chances of obtaining academic consideration and/or a successful appeal. Only in extraordinary circumstances (eg. the illness is such that you are unable to operate a telephone or email, or unable to submit a medical note by the deadline) will exceptions to these procedures be made. If you have such circumstances, you must contact the instructor as soon as possible to inform them of your circumstance. Instructors will evaluate all requests for academic consideration and the supporting documentation on a case-‐by-‐case basis. Academic consideration is not guaranteed. Submission of fraudulent documentation is Academic misconduct.
OSAP The Ontario Student Assistance Program is available to full-‐time Ryerson students who meet eligibility requirements. Applications are available online at http://osap.gov.on.ca or from the Student Financial Assistance Office, POD 59, (416) 979-‐5113.
PERMANENT PROGRAM WITHDRAWAL (PPW) See Academic Standings on page 18.
PROBATION See Academic Standings on page 18 and the Get Clear Program for Probationary Students on page 31.
RAMSS SUPPORT You can find useful job aids for using RAMSS here: http://www.ryerson.ca/RAMSSsupport/ugrad_grad/
RELIGIOUS OBSERVANCES Ryerson recognizes that a student’s religious observance may require an absence from any required course activity as scheduled in the course syllabus (available and/or distributed by the first day of class) or scheduled after the first day of class, or from a final examination as announced later in the term. Final examinations may be scheduled seven days a week. This policy provides a mechanism to address student religious observance requirements as they relate to meeting these course requirements. For a reference to the policy and the relevant request form, http://www.ryerson.ca/senate/policies/pol150.pdf .
REPEATING COURSES The grade earned for a repeated course is substituted for the previous grade in calculating subsequent grade point averages even if the later grade is lower, but both attempts are recorded on the transcripts. A passing grade in either of the attempts will be used to fulfill graduation requirements. No course can be repeated more than twice. (i.e., enrolled initially, repeated once, repeated twice = three enrollments) If you fail a required course for the third time, you will be assigned an academic standing of withdrawn and will be ineligible to continue in your program.
33
NOTE: A Curriculum Substitution form MUST be submitted if repeating course is being substituted by a course with a different course code.
REQUIRED TO WITHDRAW (RTW) See Academic Standings on page 18.
RSU’S COURSE UNIONS Every student enrolled in a full-‐time undergraduate or any graduate program at Ryerson is a member of the Ryerson Students' Union. Membership entitles students to all of the advocacy and services provided by the Students' Union. In addition, all members of the RSU are members of the provincial and national students' union, the Canadian Federation of Students. For more information visit www.rsuonline.ca
SCHOLARSHIPS & AWARDS Ryerson offers many scholarships and awards to new and returning students. Information on awards and scholarships is available from the Student Financial Assistance Office in POD 59, http://www.ryerson.ca/financialaid/scholarshipaward .
SPECIAL STUDENTS Special Student status will allow students to take courses during the day with regular program students. Priority is given to program students, however, and registration of special students is subject to space.
TRANSFERRING PROGRAMS If you decide that you would like to transfer to another science program or to another program altogether, visit the First Year and Common Science Office.
TRI-‐MENTORING The Tri-‐Mentoring Program provides you with academic, social and cultural support during your educational career at Ryerson. As a first-‐year student, you will be paired with a third-‐year student mentor who will assist you with your transition into the Ryerson community. Visit the Tri-‐Mentoring Office in POD 54, (416) 979-‐5000 ext. 6634; http://www.ryerson.ca/studentservices/trimentoring/index.html
TUTOR REGISTRY The Tutor Registry in VIC B15 -‐ matches students seeking academic help for specific courses with a qualified peer tutor. (416) 979-‐5000 ext.7350, http://www.ryerson.ca/studentservices/learningsuccess/tutoring/index.html
TUTORING (FREE) First year science students will have access to free tutoring for all of their first year science courses. The tutoring schedule will be e-‐mailed to all first year science students’ Ryerson e-‐mail address, by the end of the first week of classes.
WRITING CENTRE The Writing Centre offers free one-‐on-‐one peer tutoring for Ryerson students to improve their writing to the standards expected by their professional colleagues and future employers. Beyond this, The Writing Centre encourages the practice of writing as an art in its own right: the development of a personal style which is aesthetically satisfying and a powerful tool for discovery and communication.
It also offers in-‐class sessions, handouts on particular strategies of organization, writing and revision, and free guides to source referencing and bibliography, following APA, MLA, and Chicago style. These handouts are also available on its website.
34
The Writing Centre can be found inside the Library on the West side of the Ronald D. Besse Information and Learning Commons (main floor). It is open between 10 am and 8 pm, Monday to Thursday, and between 10 am and 4 pm on Fridays. Students are advised to make appointments, though they can drop in and any tutor who is free will work with them. Telephone: (416) 979-‐5000 ext. 7192, e-‐mail: [email protected] and website: http://www.ryerson.ca/writingcentre/

Appendix I
STUDENT GUIDE TO AVOIDING ACADEMIC APPEALS Students sometimes find themselves in circumstances, which affect their academic performance. Students sometimes believe that they should continue to the end of the semester, see how they do, and then appeal their grade or academic standing if they do not succeed.
Basic Principles:
• You should be aware that failure to deal with unforeseen circumstance when they arise will jeopardize your ability to appeal a grade or academic standing. You must consult with your professors, or with your Chair/Director, on accommodations and considerations as soon as they are needed.
• Students sometimes claim that they are “too shy” to discuss their personal situation with their instructors in order to ask for considerations.
• You should be aware that you do not have to discuss the details of your situation, but you do need to inform instructors that you have a problem. If you wish, you may discuss your situation with your Chair/Director (or other student affairs person in your school or department) so that you do not have to discuss it with each professor individually.
• You should also be aware that if you do not bring the situation to the attention of your professors, and you decide to appeal, you will have to tell your circumstances to many people, and put them in writing.
• Grades are a measure of your knowledge. Ryerson is committed to giving students a fair opportunity to learn, but ultimately, if you do not have the knowledge you do not qualify for a
• Ryerson degree. Grades will not be increased because you want them to be – you must be able to demonstrate that you have the knowledge that everyone else with that grade (or academic standing) has. Grades are not given – they are earned.
Responsibilities:
• Religious Obligations: If there is a test, exam or assignment due dates that conflicts with a religious obligation, you must notify your instructor. You should use the form available at www.ryerson.ca/senate/forms/relobservforminstr.pdf.
• The policy is found at www.ryerson.ca/senate/policies/pol150.pdf.
• Accommodation for Disability – If you require an accommodation for a disability, you should contact the Access Centre. Any accommodation must be presented to the professor as soon as possible, and may not be presented after the fact. The professor may wish to discuss accommodations with you and the Access Centre to ensure that they are appropriate.
• Re-‐grading or Recalculation: Requests for the re-‐grading or recalculation of your work must be made to your instructor within ten (10) working days of the date the graded work is returned to the class. It is your responsibility to discuss your work with your professor, and he or she may ask you to put your request in writing detailing where you believe the grading is incorrect.
• If your professor does not re-‐grade your work, or if you still believe that there is merit to your concern, you may request a formal re-‐grading from your Chair/Director. You must submit a detailed outline of where you
36
believe the grading is incorrect. Be aware that your grade could go down (or up, or remain the same). The result of the re-‐grading is the grade that is recorded.
• Medical or Compassionate: Documents for the missing of a test, exam or assignment due date must be submitted within three (3) working days. This should normally be done on a Ryerson Medical Certificate, but if you get a note from a physician it must contain all of the information required on the form, and you must submit the affidavit (the top part of the form) with the note. Your certificate must be for the period of time in question. Your Department/School has the right to verify the validity of the certificate. You are responsible for notifying the instructor, as soon as possible, if you will be missing a test or exam.
• Consideration in more than one course: If you have an illness or other situation, which affects your overall academic performance, you must consult with your Chair/ Director who will make recommendations on a plan for your studies and will inform your instructors. (You must still contact your instructors to verify the details.)
Academic Appeals – The policy can be found at http://www.ryerson.ca/senate/policies/ and the forms at http://www.ryerson.ca/senate/forms/.
