A Message from the PresidentThanks for your interest in Crandall University! I hope that this Academic Calendar will begin to give you a sense of who we are and the quality educational experience we’d like to offer you. Here’s a bit about my story and the way God used Crandall University to change me.

In the 1980s I graduated from high school as what I would describe as a relatively able but disinterested student. I arrived at Crandall University as a student and as early as my first semester of study much in my life began to change. At Crandall I developed a deep love for academic study along with the foundational skills necessary for university success. This greatly helped me and several years later I was completing a masters degree at Harvard University! Recently, I asked myself what the ingredients of a Crandall education were that led to such a transfor-mation in my life. Here are a few of them:

Small size: At many of the larger universities in Canada, undergraduate classrooms are filled with hundreds of students and many first year classes have more than a thousand students. At Crandall most of our second, third, and fourth year classes have less than 20 students. This means that your professors will know your name and be better able to coach and guide you through your years of study. This kind of interest and mentoring is key to stu-dent academic success.

Top quality faculty: We’ve worked hard to recruit excellent professors. Our instructors have earned advanced de-grees at some of the world’s most prestigious research universities: from Notre Dame, Columbia, and Harvard in the United States, to Toronto, UBC, McMaster, Western, and Queens in Canada, and a variety of British universi-ties. Our professors have traveled and lectured widely. They have published extensively, and have worked in some pretty exciting roles prior to joining our team. Coming to a smaller university means that you can get to know your professors personally and tap into their background, experience, and expertise.

Christian identity: Crandall’s mission is to transform lives through “quality university education firmly rooted in the Christian faith”. We’ve been able to achieve this mission largely as a result of our ability to attract highly qualified Christian faculty and staff. Our Christian identity is key to the quality education we offer. Since we do not accept annual government funding for operating expenses, our faculty and staff agree to serve here for lower salaries than they would likely make at other universities. This sense of call and commitment to a shared identity and mission comes through in their teaching and service. As a student you will feel the difference that such a com-mitment makes in their teaching and service.

The world is a big place and you can expect to do well in terms of employment and advanced study opportunities when you use Crandall University as your launching pad. We hope that you will allow us to invest in you and help get you off on the right foot as you begin to prepare for a life of meaning and purposeful service.

If you have not yet applied for admission, I hope that you will contact our Admissions Office ([email protected]) and set up a date for a visit to our beautiful campus. I’m confident you’ll be impressed by the quality educational experience we offer. I look forward to meeting you!

Bruce G. Fawcett, B.A., M.Div., Th.M., Ph.D.President and Vice-ChancellorProfessor of Leadership and Religious Studies

General Information

HistoryIn the late 1940s, the United Baptist Convention became concerned about the young people who were leaving Atlantic Canada for a Bible college education. In spite of the fact that the denomination had a Uni-versity in Wolfville, NS, there was an area of Christian education which was not being covered. In 1949, the United Baptist Bible Training School was founded in Moncton as both a Bible college and a high school. For the next two decades, young people came from all over Atlantic Canada to study in a Christian context and to live in a Christian community.

Academic excellence very quickly became a hallmark of the new school, and many people gave sacrificially to expand the facilities and the programs. Dr. Myron Brinton left a successful pastorate to guide the fledg-ling institution for most of its first decade. His sense of family and Christian commitment set the stage for much of its tradition.

By 1968, the School was in transition as the emphasis changed to a post high school program. It became a Bible College and a Christian Junior Liberal Arts College. In 1970, the name was changed to Atlantic Baptist College to reflect the new programs. Throughout this period, the President, Dr. Stuart E. Murray, sought to build a strong faculty and to provide a broadened selection of courses. In 1983, the New Brunswick Legislature passed a charter granting Atlantic Baptist College, the right to offer baccalaureate degrees. Over a decade later, in 1996, the original Act of the Legislature was amended to change the name to Atlantic Baptist University. This was done to reflect the continued growth and de-velopment of the University as evidenced by the granting of degrees in a variety of disciplines, including Arts, Science, Business, and Education.

Page 11: Academic Calendar 2014-15

In 2008, and in 2010, slight amendments to the Act were made, first to extend the provision of degrees beyond the baccalaureate level, and second to change the name to Crandall University in honour of Joseph Crandall, who founded several Baptist churches in the greater Moncton area during the late 1800s. This new name was also presented as a way to more clearly offer an invititation to Christian students and sup-porters who were not from a Baptist tradition.

Mission StatementThe mission of Crandall University’s administration, faculty, and staff is as follows:

Transforming lives through quality university education firmly rooted in the Christian faith.

This mission is accomplished through these actions:

1. Teaching in the liberal arts, sciences, and professional studies that involves these characteristics:

a) A student-centered approach that focuses on learning rather than delivery of information only;b) A commitment to holistic growth of the person: spiritual, intellectual, personal/social, and physical

well-being;c) The teamwork of outstanding and dedicated staff, faculty, administrators, and Board members;d) The development of a unified and caring community wherein participants are sensitive to the needs of

each other, encourage each other in character formation, leadership skills, and the integration of faith and learning whereby they are prepared for future positions of influence and leadership in the service of God’s Kingdom;

e) An openness to persons of every race, colour, gender, and creed who choose to become part of the community of Crandall University.

2. Research by faculty that includes but is not limited to the following:

a) Expanding knowledge within the scholar’s discipline;b) Maintaining a standard of excellence that affirms the University’s commitment to academic integrity;c) Advancing the integration of faith and learning through scholarship and publications that evaluate

theories/conclusions in light of a Christian worldview.

This mission is the driving force behind everything at Crandall University. Recognizing the lordship of Jesus Christ over all creation, the university operates with an overarching commitment to students, to the church, and to community. As a private university, Crandall is committed to the wise use of the human, financial, and physical resources that God entrusts through the churches of the Convention of Atlantic Baptist Churches plus a variety of corporate, church, and individual partners supportive of higher education within a Christian context.

Philosophy of EducationThe purpose of a liberal arts education is to expose students to the range of human experience, to introduce them thorough-ly to a given major, and to teach each one to think and write creatively, clearly, and critically. For this to happen there must be a point of view, a defined position from which to view and compare life. The worldview at Crandall University is Christian. While there is considerable diversity of opinion among both the faculty and student body regarding various theological emphases, all are united in the conviction that life, to be seen clearly and holistically, must be viewed in the light of God’s saving action in an individual’s life through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. This foundation provides a significant alternative to university education based upon secular and materialistic faiths.

This is not to suggest that students will be allowed to coast through their educational experience by offering platitudes about faith. The philosophy of education at Crandall University is that the only adequate response to Christ is a life of sacrificial commitment to His service and praise whereby individuals strive for excellence. This must include diligence in academic work. Students are challenged to realize their potential academically to be good stewards of the intellect God has given them.

General Information 12 Crandall University

Whether in wrestling with concepts in Anthropology, writing a term paper for English Literature, learning the principles of strategic planning, or studying for a Science exam, students are encouraged to give their best as praise to God.

Students are also challenged to integrate their learning into a holistic understanding of life as part of preparation for service to the world for which Christ died. Knowledge cannot exist in isolation from experience. In this process of integration, the faculty play a crucial role in the lives of students as they seek to point the way insofar as they have understood it. The faculty challenge students to understand and accept responsibility for their own worldviews, professing the lordship of Christ over all knowledge and activity.

Educational philosophy finds its expression in curriculum. In this regard, Crandall University has instituted a core of re-quired courses which are crucial to the task of coming to terms with one’s worldview. As well, students must select courses from a number of areas with the aim of exposing them to a variety of disciplines and the insights therein. Finally, all first de-gree (excluding degree completion) students at Crandall University must take a minor in Religious Studies. This knowledge of the biblical witness to God’s activity in the world is crucial to shaping a Christian worldview as well as preparing for a life that honours God. To help emphasize the importance of this focus from the outset of their studies, all first degree students at Crandall University are required to register in at least one required Religious Studies course in their first semester for at least the first two weeks of the semester.

This combination of a demanding academic program and the challenge to act justly, to love mercy, to walk humbly with our God has resulted in many graduates of Crandall investing their lives in a wide range of activities for the good of society and the glory of God.

Christian LifestyleStudents at Crandall University join a community where a desire to know and be known by God translates into a life of spiritual devotion and service. Expressions of such include chapel attendance, participation in a local church, volunteer involvement with a church or community service program, acceptance of responsibility for personal be-havior, and the search to develop relationships of integrity. The goal is to bring honour to Jesus Christ in everything.

Guidance in the definition of this inviting community and in behaviour consistent with the Christian mission and values of the University is provided by the department of Student Development. Opportunities for growth in un-derstanding the Christian life as well as in areas of personal development are available through the services of this department. For example, students may join a Bible study, a prayer group, or a missions interest group. In these and other ways the campus community becomes known as one that fosters developomental experiences while expressing the love of Christ in everything.

Students need not be Christian to attend Crandall University, but they must be willing to accept the obligations which are part of being a member of this community. These obligations are academic, social, and personal. Whether on campus or off, all students are expected to conduct themselves as is becoming to Christian adults and the Univer-sity of which they have chosen to be a part.

FacultyCrandall University full-time faculty are well equipped to teach in their chosen fields. The addition of qualified ad-junct and part-time faculty contributes to a community in which diversity of background is balanced by a common purpose. All faculty members are involved in their local churches and in various civic organizations. This belies the ivory tower image of university professors. They are also active in their professional fields where they demonstrate a con-tinuing concern for growth in their given disciplines through memberships and service. Faculty affirm the mission of the University by intentionally integrating their Christian worldview in the teaching of their various disciplines.

General Information 13Crandall University Crandall University

In addition, whether for academic advisement or a sympathetic ear for a personal problem, faculty seek to make themselves available to students on an individual basis. Either inside or outside the classroom, faculty seek to affirm the worth of students as created and loved by God.

George A. Rawlyk LibraryThe library is in many respects the intellectual and academic centre of every university campus. The George A. Rawlyk Library of Crandall University, named in honour of the late Dr. George A. Rawlyk, History Professor of Queen’s University, is no exception. Dr. Rawlyk was a friend and contributor to Crandall University, donating much of his personal library. Students are encouraged to familiarize them-selves with the available services and resources as part of their academic experience at Crandall Universi-ty.

GovernanceCrandall University operates as a degree granting institution by authority of the Crandall University Act, as granted by the Province of New Brunswick. Crandall University was founded by the Convention of Atlantic Baptist Church-es, which continues to support the University and ratifies appointments to its Board of Governors. The University is responsible to provide to its constituency quality education for Christian leaders of tomorrow.

Crandall University, as a corporation, is governed by a Board of Governors elected annually from among the sup-porters of the University. The Senate of Crandall University determines all academic standards and is comprised of the President of Crandall University, the Vice President for Academic Affairs, members of faculty, the Librarian, plus representatives of the student body, the alumni, the Board of Governors, the Convention and the Registrar (Secre-tary of Senate).

AccreditationIn Canada there is no formal organization that accredits universities and colleges, but the concept of accreditation is practiced. It is based on the acceptance of postsecondary studies by Canadian Universities and Colleges, where the work completed meets criteria of faculty competence, standards of instruction, and standards of student achieve-ment practiced by the major universities in Canada. Based on these standards, Crandall University graduates con-sistently achieve a high level.

Crandall University is an affiliate member of The Council of Christian Colleges and Universities, an association of approximately 175 Christ-centered colleges and universities of the liberal arts and sciences with member schools in 26 countries around the world. The Council is committed to cultivating communities of educational excellence in which the lordship of Jesus Christ is central. Member colleges are committed to maintaining the highest academ-ic standards in an environment which fosters spiritual growth. Over thirty denominations are represented in the Council, enriching the common fellowship with diversity. Working together, Council member colleges and univer-sities accomplish things they could not do alone. (See the “Programs of Study” section which outlines the academic opportunities available to students at Crandall through CCCU.)

Crandall University maintains its official recognition as a degree-granting institution based on its formal arrang-ments with the Province of New Brunswick through an Act of the New Brunswick Legislature. In addition, there is a strong on-going collegial relationship with all its sibling universities within the Atlantic Provinces and an expanding and ever improving connection with other academic institutions and professional associations throughout Canada and the United States.

Crandall University has become known for its academic excellence and the integrity of its graduates. With the increasing number of degree programs and the abilities of its faculty members, the reputation of the University continues to grow.

Statement of Faith1. God: There is one God, eternally existent in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. In the Godhead these

three persons are equal and united in essence and perfection. They execute distinct but harmonious offices in the great work of redemption.

a) God is Father to all people in the general sense of Creator and Sustainer of the universe. He has fatherly compassion for all humanity. God is Father, in a personal sense, to all who profess faith in His only begotten and unique Son, Jesus Christ.

b) Jesus Christ is God manifest in the flesh; we affirm His virgin birth, sinless humanity, divine miracles, vicarious death once for all time, bodily resurrection and ascension, mediatorial work before the Father, and the blessed hope of His personal return in power and glory.

c) The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Godhead who proceeds from the Father and the Son. The Holy Spirit convicts humanity of sin, righteousness, and God’s judgement; calls people to repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, indwells and enables the believer to live a holy life; and empowers the believer to witness and to work for the Lord Jesus Christ.

2. The Scriptures: The Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments have their authority from God alone and are given to us by divine inspiration. They are the only perfect, supreme, infallible, and sufficient standard for all matters of faith and conduct. They have been carefully preserved by the providence of God through the work of faithful believers.

3. Humanity: Humanity was created sinless. By the disobedience of the first man and woman, sin entered the hu-man race. Through this disobedience all humanity is born sinful, under the curse of condemnation and death, in need of repentance and forgiveness.

4. Salvation: The salvation of lost and sinful humanity is possible only through the merits of Jesus Christ and His substitutionary death on our behalf. Salvation must be received through repentance and faith, and it is apart from works. It is characterized by regeneration by the Holy Spirit.

Undergraduate Admissions 18 Crandall University

Seniors (65 years of age and over) may enroll in courses for one-half the tuition costs. Courses may be audited by seniors at no charge to the individual.

Adults of all ages are encouraged to consider studying either part-time or full-time at Crandall University.

Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Management (Degree Completion) Admission RequirementsThis Degree Completion program is offered through the Adult Learners Professional Studies (ALPS) division of the university. Prerequisites for admission include the completion of 30 to 60 credit hours from one or more rec-ognized post-secondary institutions. However, students who transfer in fewer than 30 credit hours may be con-ditionally admitted until successful completion of their first three courses. When fewer than 60 credit hours are transferred into Crandall, the additional credits will – at some time prior to graduation – still need to be made up to the total of 120 credit hours necessary for a Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Management. In addition to the transfer of previous credit hours, program admission further requires that applicants be age 21 or older and that they be employed full-time.

Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Management (Degree Completion) Application ProcedureAn applicant who has become familiar with the program and has decided to apply should take the following steps:1. Complete and submit the Degree Completion Program Application for Admission including the non-refund-

able $35 application fee. Contact your previous post-secondary educational institutions (i.e. college and/or university) to request your official transcript(s) be forwarded directly to the attention of the Director or Pro-gram Administrator of the Adult Learners Professional Studies Division.

2. Provide a detailed resume of previous and current post-secondary education and employment experience.3. Schedule a meeting with the Director or Program Administrator to outline a tentative degree plan.4. After official transcripts have been received, the Associate Registrar will determine the number of credit hours

that are transferable, and what others need to be earned in order to complete the degree. This will be docu-mented on an audit sheet.

5. The Program Administrator will then respond in writing to the applicant with the audit sheet attached. If the applicant is successful, an offer of enrolment letter will also be attached.

Students should forward all application materials to the address below:

Adult Learners Professional Studies Division Crandall University Box 6004 Moncton, NB E1C 9L7 Email: [email protected]

When a student is accepted into the Bachelor of Arts in Organizational Management (Degree Completion) pro-gram at Crandall University, a $250.00 non-refundable registration deposit is required to reserve a seat in the cohort for which the application was made, usually the next cohort according to the set schedule. Seats are secured on a first-come, first-served basis.

Transfer StudentsStudents who want to transfer to Crandall University from another institution must follow the application proce-dure stated previously. Both high school and post-secondary transcripts are required when a transfer applicant has

Page 19: Academic Calendar 2014-15

Undergraduate Admissions 19Crandall University Crandall University

completed post-secondary studies other than at the university level or with less than one year of university studies. For all other applicants with university experience, only the university transcript will be required. However, high school transcripts may be required for certain programs. Failure to provide the required transcripts prior to the end of the first semester may result in dismissal.

Once accepted, the student’s file will be evaluated by the Registrar’s Office for possible transfer credit. Post-sec-ondary courses taken elsewhere are eligible for transfer credit provided the course complies with the standards established by Crandall University for its own courses and the grade obtained by the student is a pass in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding Between Atlantic Canadian Colleges For the Encouragement of Transfer Agreements.

The University’s Academic Standards and Appeals Committee serves as the advisory board for situations warrant-ing special consideration. Sometimes final assessment is reserved until the transfer student has completed at least one semester of full-time study at Crandall University.

The maximum number of hours accepted for transfer credit from other institutions is 60 credit hours towards a de-gree of 120 credit hours. Within this 60 credit hour maximum, no more than 50% of a major is eligible for transfer towards a Bachelor of Arts or a Bachelor of Science degree, and no more than 50% of required Business courses are eligible for transfer towards a Bachelor of Business Administration degree. The maximum number of hours accepted for transfer from another institution is 15 credit hours towards a Bach-elor of Education degree and nine credit hours towards the Advanced Certificates in Education and towards the Master of Education degree.

Transfer credits are recorded on the transcript with credit value only. No grade is recorded, and transfer credits are excluded from a student’s GPA.

Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate ProgramsCrandall University grants university credit to students who have demonstrated exceptional ability within either the Advanced Placement program or the International Baccalaureate program. Students involved in either of these programs, who have received scores of four or five on the Advanced Place-ment Examinations, or scores of five, six, or seven on the International Baccalaureate Examinations, may request an assessment for university credit up to a maximum of 30 credit hours. For further infor-mation, contact the Registrar’s Office.

Part-time StudentsStudents who wish to complete an Arts, Business, or Science degree as a part-time student must meet the admis-sion requirements as well as follow the application procedure previously stated.

Students who wish to study courses part-time but are not seeking to complete a specific program may apply as Continuing Education students. Continuing Education students must follow the application procedure previ-ously stated. However, standard admission requirements do not apply. Some courses may require high school prerequisites. Please refer to the “Programs and Course Descriptions” section of the Academic Calendar for more information.

Visiting StudentsUpon receipt of a letter of permission from their institutions, visiting students may be eligible to register for class-es. Confirmation of prerequisite courses or other academic documentation may be required. Please contact the

Conditional AcceptanceApplicants who do not meet the standard admission requirements may be considered for conditional acceptance. Upon admission, these students will be given conditional acceptance status and expected to perform at the required academic level.

Educational AccommodationsCrandall University seeks to offer all students equal access to the educational process. Therefore, students who have a diagnosed physical or educational disability must inform the Student Service Centre if they require ac-commodation for attendance, testing, participation in classroom, or laboratory activities. Professional documen-tation that is current and that establishes the nature of the disability and the recommendations for accommoda-tions is required. Crandall University will accommodate the student to the extent that such accommodations do not disadvantage or compromise the safety of other students in the course and to the extent that all the learning objectives of the course can still be achieved.

Students who need accommodations are requested to contact the Student Service Centre as soon as they are ac-cepted to the university in order to begin the accommodation process. The complete details on University policy are available on the website or from the Student Service Centre .

The following documents and supplementary materials are required, along with an application, in order for the admissions office to complete a knowledgeable assessment.

Transcript of GradesThe applicant must provide a list of the courses and grades that he/she completed in grades 10 through 12. This may be generated by an independent homeschooling agency or by the applicant’s parent(s)/guardian(s).

B. Parent Plus Loan

Parent Plus Loan is a loan for educational costs of dependent students for which parents may apply.

Disbursement of Loans

Loans come in two disbursements: mid to late September and late December or January.

Satisfactory Academic Progress

All students applying for or receiving US Federal Aid (subsidized/unsubsidized Direct Loans and Parent Plus Loans) at Crandall University must make satisfactory academic progress towards completion of their chosen academic programs.

Crandall is required by US Federal Law to define and enforce standards of Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP). These guidelines have been established to encourage students to successfully complete their academic programs for which aid is received. Students are considered to be making satisfactory academic progress when they:complete 75% of attempted credit hours each semester meet minimum grade point average requirements each semester complete their programs of study within the maximum allowable time frame

Minimum Requirements for Degree StudentsSemester % of attempted credit hours successfully completed Semester GPAFirst to Third Semesters 75% 1.33Fourth and subsequent semesters 75% 2.0

Maximum Allowable Time Frame for Full-Time Students

Students are entitled to receive aid for 150% of the length of their academic program, e.g. a 4 year degree = 6 years of eligibility.

Evaluation and Notification

Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) will be assessed for all students by the Vice President for Administration and Finance at the end of each academic semester to determine their eligibility for continued Financial Aid. Students will, be notified in writing or by email within ten business days of the semester grades release if they are placed on Financial Aid probation or if their Financial Aid eligibility has been suspended.

Financial Aid Probation and Suspension

Students who fail to achieve the required minimum standards of academic progress will be placed on Financial

Page 32: Academic Calendar 2014-15

Financial Information 32 Crandall University

Aid Probation for one semester. If, during that semester, students meet the required minimum standards of academic prog-ress and meet with the Vice President for Administration and Finance, they will be removed from probation and be eligible for US Federal Aid.

Students on probation who do not meet the required minimum standards during that semester will be placed on Financial Aid Suspension. They will be ineligible for any further US Federal Aid until such time as they achieve the required minimum standards of academic progress. When suspended students achieve the required minimum standards, they must notify the Financial Aid Director, and they will be eligible again for US Federal Aid.

Students who have exceeded their Timeframe Eligibility will be ineligible for any further US Federal Aid.

Financial Aid Appeals

In certain circumstances, students whose US Federal Aid eligibility has been suspended may appeal the suspension if at least one of the following criteria is met:

Death of an immediate family member (parent, caregiver, spouse, sibling, dependant child, etc.). Extended illness of the student. (Documented chronic or recurring medical or emotional illness that causes the student to be absent from class at least 15 days or more.) Family difficulties, such as divorce or illness. Mitigating circumstances as determined by the Vice President for Administration and Finance.

Appeal Process

The student will submit a written appeal letter to the Vice President for Administration and Finance within five business days of the receipt of the notification of suspension. This letter must outline the reasons for the failure to meet SAP requirements and include all documentation supporting the appeal.

The appeal will be reviewed by the Vice President for Administration and Finance and the Registrar, who together will decide to uphold or reverse the suspension.

A written response to the appeal will be provided to the student within ten business days.

Title IV Refund Policy

If a student withdraws or is expelled during the semester (payment period), US law specifies that Crandall University must recalculate the student’s Title IV (Direct Loan) funding to determine what amount he/she has “earned”.

Calculation of Title IV Funding Earned

To earn 100% of Title IV funding, a student must complete 60% or more of the semester. If a student has not completed 60% of the semester, the amount earned will be determined by the number of calendar days completed divided by the number of days in the semester. Therefore, a student who has completed 25 days of the 103 day semester, will be eligible for 24.27% (25 divided by 103 equals 24.27%) of their previous Title IV eligibility.

If the student received (or Crandall received on the student’s behalf) less assistance than the amount that was earned, the student may be eligible to receive those additional funds. If the student received more assistance than was earned, the excess funds must be returned by Crandall and/or the student.

Returning Excess Title IV Funding

Page 33: Academic Calendar 2014-15

Financial Information 33Crandall University Crandall University

Crandall is required to return a portion of the excess funds equal to the lesser of Crandall’s charges multiplied by the un-earned percentage of the funds, or the entire amount of excess funds.

If Crandall is not required to return all of the excess funds, the student must return the remaining amount.

Title IV funds will be returned to the lender in the following order:

Unsubsidized Federal Direct Loans Subsidized Federal Direct Loans

Crandall will return all excess funds to the lender within 30 days of the last date of attendance.

Withdrawal Date

When a student withdraws during a semester, the withdrawal date for Title IV refund purposes will be established as the earlier of the following dates:

• The date the student notifies the Registrar’s Office of his/her intent to withdraw. • The date the student submits a withdrawal form.

If a student does not submit a withdrawal form or notify the Registrar of his/her intent to withdraw, the withdrawal date will be established as the last date of his/her class attendance.

If a student receives all failing grades for a semester and it is determined that this is a result of lack of class attendance, that students last date of attendance will be established and used to calculate the amount of Title IV funding earned for the se-mester.

Campus Life

Co-curricular Activities Much of a student’s growth and learning takes place outside the classroom and removed from books. At Cran-dall University, numerous activities, organizations, or opportunities exist for students to grow in all aspects of life. Drama and music teams offer students an opportunity to develop talents and abilities and to use such in ministry to others. The athletic program is a growing area with both varsity and club sports teams. Student Government provides opportunity to learn more about the structure of the University and to develop student leadership potential. Social activities abound, including coffee houses, movie nights, and banquets. Choosing to participate in these opportunities will enhance a student’s experience at Crandall University.

Crandall Wellness ProgramThe aim of this program is to encourage students to develop and maintain a balanced approach to life. The program will offer workshops, fitness sessions, resources, nutritional guidance, and social events designed to strengthen the community and encourage a healthy well-balanced lifestyle. This program is coordinated by the Student Development Department.

Student Success CentreThe Student Success Centre, which is located in Murray Hall, exists to enhance the learning of the Crandall University community. Free seminars and one-to-one appointments are offered to help students develop strong academic habits and life skills. Writing assistance is emphasized at the Cen-tre, and students may meet with a trained writing consultant at any stage of the writing process.

Page 45: Academic Calendar 2014-15

Charger AthleticsIt is the University’s desire that students develop in all areas of life while at Crandall; therefore, it provides opportunities for health and fitness. The fitness room is available to students during regular building hours. Students are encouraged to try out and/or sign up for the teams co-ordinated each year.

Crandall University offers three levels of competitive athletics: Varsity, Club, and Intramural. Varsity athletics consist of intercollegiate teams belonging to the Atlantic Colleges Athletics Association such as women’s soccer, men’s basketball, and women’s basketball. Club athletics may include baseball, hockey, softball, and volleyball. Intramural opportunities arranged through the Student Association may include football, volleyball, softball, badminton, and ping pong as the university strives to involve all students in maintaining physical health and well-being during the academic year.

Spiritual LifeThe signature verse of the University is taken from the book of Colossians, chapter one: “that Christ might come to have first place in everything.” Therefore, we give as much focus to spiritual life development as we do to academic development. The historic Christian faith upon which this University was founded is evident in classes, in residence, on the sports field, in our social activities, but above all in the lives of those faculty, staff, and students who form our community.

One of the ways the University community celebrates faith is through the preaching and teaching of God’s Word and through the praise and worship within our required regular chapel gatherings. The academic activities of the Univer-sity cease so that as many as possible may come together to focus and regain perspective on the ways God has blessed us and challenges us to develop and grow in biblical knowledge, spiritual disciplines, and outreach. Choosing to attend Crandall also means choosing to participate in the chapel program designed to enrich the spiritual dimension of the student’s life. Please check the Student Handbook available on the website for specific programs and details.

Students are also encouraged to find a local church where they will receive strength and have opportunity to exercise their gifts and talents. A listing of local churches, worship times, and mid week programs is available on the intranet. Some of these local churches will also provide transportation from the University for Sunday services.

ChapelThe mission of Crandall University’s chapel ministry is to engage the heart, soul, mind, and strength in honouring the manifest presence of our risen Lord by treasuring His word, celebrating the won-der of the gospel, and challenging students and staff alike to live lives of surrender, fully pleasing to God. The purpose of chapel is in no way to force people into Christian spirituality. The hope is to create opportunities that are so meaningful and engaging to the soul that people actually want to be in chapel, taking in the most potentially life-changing aspect of a Crandall education. Crandall Univer-sity students who do not consider themselves to be people of faith are asked respectfully to consider the deeply held beliefs of this University. Therefore, all students are asked to refrain from texting, emailing, and doing schoolwork during services. This is a day when many people think of church as boring or as irrelevant to real life. The belief at Crandall University is that God is anything but boring. While it’s not the goal of the chapel program to entertain people, the chapel ministry is intentionally focused on one thing: a life-changing rela-tionship with Jesus Christ.

Page 46: Academic Calendar 2014-15

Campus Life 46 Crandall University

From September to April every year the chapel ministry is a focal point in the daily life at Crandall. God him-self came to this earth in the person of Jesus. He came into the messy brokenness of humanity and offered hope, truth, and love that still changes lives today. Even more, He came to take care of humanity’s greatest problem, sin, which separates us from God. When Jesus died on the cross He took upon Himself the consequence of our re-bellion toward God. When He rose from the dead it proved that He is God and victorious over sin and death. To turn to Christ is to turn away from sin and to receive His gift of forgiveness, which makes possible a relationship with God and gives individuals the promise of eternal life. Students are expected to attend two to three chapels of their choice per week, a minimum of 20 per semester for full-time students. (This means that students attend at least 40 chapels per year of the 140 that are offered.) Whereas the chapel ministry is considered the hub of spiritual engagement on this Crandall campus, the hope is that students will desire to come even more often, simply because it is an opportunity for spiritual rejuvenation in their daily walk with God. It is difficult to imagine that a student who chooses to come to Crandall would not want to engage in the spiritual life of the University, specifically chapel, but if for some reason a student does not intend to meet this require-ment, that individual needs to set up a meeting with the Spiritual Life Director to discuss this in person. The Crandall Community Practicum (CCP) is a natural extension of what God does in hearts during chapel times. When we receive from God through worship and the word, it is a natural response for the Christian to give back to God in form of service to others. See the Academic Regulations section for further details on the Crandall Community Practicum.

On Campus HousingCrandall University provides residential options for students. Many choose residence life because of location, convenience, and community. First year students are encouraged to apply for residence within Colburne House, and senior students are encouraged to apply for residence in apartments, as they provide unique and rich experiences of university life. The friend-ships established in on campus housing through visiting, socializing, studying, or sharing together will last a lifetime.

Colburne House

The day-to-day operation of the Colburne House residence is under the guidance of returning students known as Resi-dence Assistants (R.A.’s). R.A.’s will help students get settled into their rooms and will help with the transition from home to university. R.A.’s will also demonstrate leadership and responsibility so that Colburne House functions well and is in keeping with the Christian mission of the University. The R.A. program and the operation of the residence receives over-sight and direction from the Student Development Department.

The three-story residence, Colburne House, accommodates 140 students and is divided into six separate wings. Each wing contains four living units. Each living unit includes a washroom and a maximum of four bedrooms. Some units may also include study rooms. Room options include single rooms, double rooms, and super singles. In addition to six wing loung-es, common space is also found in the larger common lounge. The residence is located approximately 500 feet from Stuart E. Murray Hall.

Residence applications are considered on a first-come, first-served basis. Applications must be submitted along with the required $300.00 deposit when applying for admission to the University. This deposit will be credited to the student’s ac-count. Details on deadlines and refund policies can be found on the Residence Application. Residence applications will be processed after the student has been admitted to the University. Rooms will be assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. The Residence Application allows students to recommend a roommate or living unit mates if they desire. If not, the in-formation requested on the application will help the Student Development staff to make appropriate roommate selections.

Campus Life 47Crandall University Crandall University

The Student Development Department reserves the right to determine priority assignment of single rooms to students who provide documentation of special needs or circumstances. Once the residence is full, a waiting list will be kept based on date of application. An off-campus housing listing is posted on the intranet.

Students are expected to conduct themselves in a responsible and adult manner consistent with Christian val-ues at all times. The standard of conduct expected is informed by the scriptures and consistent with the aims of the Christian community. For specific policies on alcohol consumption, drugs, smoking, dishonesty, gossip, etc., please refer to the Student Handbook.

Apartment Style ResidenceUpper level students entering their 3rd year of study and beyond may consider housing options with-in the on campus apartment style residence. This 23 unit residence consists of 2, 3, and 4 bedroom ful-ly furnished units with a live in building superintendent. The apartment style residence is located next to Colburne House, and students who have previously lived in Colburne House receive priority placement.

Student HandbookBefore arrival at the university each student should read the Student Handbook that is posted on the website. The handbook contains important information on all aspects of university life. This book will highlight certain procedures and policies regarding such things as mail delivery, gym usage, as well as a summary of the privileges and responsibilities which accompany student status at Crandall University. A Residence Life Handbook is also available on the website and contains residence infor-mation designed to help students understand and appreciate residence life. Familiarity and coopera-tion with all that is outlined in these handbooks will be expected of all students. A hard copy will be made available upon request.

Student Identification CardThe Student Identification Card is issed by Information Technology Services to all students registered in programs at the University. This card is required to gain access to campus buildings, to borrow resources from the Rawlyk Library, and to access various academic and administrative services. The card remains the prop-erty of the University; accordingly, card privileges may be deactivated or suspended at the University’s discre-tion, and it must be surrendered upon request.

Academic Regulations

OrientationAn information packet is sent to students normally in the spring to supply up-to-date information for the upcoming university year. Any questions regarding programs, courses, and timetables should be directed to the Registrar’s Office. The Student Development Office should be contacted regarding residence life or gen-eral orientation options for students.

During the first few days at Crandall University, students may be filled with excitement and anxiety. Student Development hosts an orientation program that has been designed to lessen the anxiety and increase the excitement. At the same time, it provides students with a sense of belonging. Staff and student volunteers keep new and returning students informed of what, when, where, who, why, and how. Faculty as well as rep-resentatives from the Registrar’s Office are available for consultation and advising. Some course placement and assessment tests are done at this time in preparation for registration. All first-time students to Crandall University should schedule their arrival on campus so as to participate completely in orientation events.

RegistrationStudents must register each year according to procedures and time frames supplied by the Registrar’s Office. Failure to do so may result in financial penalty and possible denial of registration in certain courses.

AttendanceStudents are responsible to attend all classes in which they are registered. Instructors may bar students from writ-ing the final examination in any course when they have missed more than one quarter of the classes without permission or legitimate cause.

Page 49: Academic Calendar 2014-15

Students should notify the Registrar’s Office if they have to leave campus for serious medical or compassion-ate reasons. Students are also responsible to notify their instructors of absences, and they must be prepared to submit a doctor’s note that includes the specific dates of the classes that were missed.

The University has the right automatically to withdraw students from the University in cases when they show no evidence of regular attendance within classes in which they registered. Students may be responsible for all fees associated with their semester(s). Letters of intent to withdraw students must be initiated by professors and notice of such will be sent from the Registrar’s Office.

Email CommunicationAll official electronic correspondence from Crandall University’s administration will be conducted through the student email system. The email address assigned to students, by the University, is the only email address that will be used for communciation to students regarding personal information related to academic and administrative purposes. Students are responsible for frequently checking their University email account to receive such notifications.

Class CancellationScheduled changes or cancellations that affect the university as a whole will be noted on the Crandall Infor-mation Line at 506-863-6440. Individual classes may be cancelled by the faculty member upon consultation with the Academic Office. Notification will normally be posted at the classroom.

Course Changes and WithdrawalsAll course changes and withdrawals made following the completion of registration must be finalized through the Registrar’s Office. However, students’ faculty advisors may be involved in filling out the appropriate forms. Any course withdrawals following the deadline date for course changes, typically two weeks after the start of classes for each term (see Calendar of Events page for specific dates), will result in W (withdrew) grades for those courses on academic transcripts. The deadline is normally two weeks (or equivalent) after the start of classes for each term. Courses dropped prior to the above mentioned deadline of each term will not be shown on students’ transcripts. Within each semester the official last day for course changes, and the deadline for financial payment and initial refund, shall coincide. No withdrawals will be permitted following the date stated in the Academic Calendar of Events of the current calendar. In their first semester of study at Crandall University, full time students in Arts, Business, or Science programs are required to register in at least one required Religious Studies course, at least until the add/drop date for that particular semester.

Course Changes: Spring Semester Courses and Master’s-level CoursesStudents are responsible to contact the Registrar’s Office to make changes in registration. For Spring semes-ter courses and Master’s-level courses, changes to course registration can be made during the first six hours of scheduled class meetings. Students who withdraw before the completion of 12 hours of scheduled class meetings may be eligible for partial refunds. Please contact the Registrar’s Office to make the necessary arrangements. No withdrawals will be accepted after 21 hours of scheduled class meetings.

Illness and Academic AccommodationFrom time to time students become ill or have ongoing medical conditions that prevent them from meet-ing academic obligations. The University is committed to assisting students who are ill to achieve the best possible academic outcome.

Page 50: Academic Calendar 2014-15

Academic Regularions 50 Crandall University

Individual Course or Assignment ProtocolStudents who have an illness that affects a limited course requirement shall proceed as follows. Students in on-campus courses who are ill and unable to meet assignment due dates or write a term test should seek medical treatment and provide confirmation of the illness to the professor(s) within 48 hours by submitting a Verification of Illness form. This form is available on the Registrar’s Office webpage or from the Student Ser-vices desk.

Adjustment of due dates or deferrals of term tests or assignments are not automatic upon the presentation of suitable medical verification. Professors will use this documentation and all information available to them when determining whether accommodation is warranted. Any adjustment within a course is determined exclusively by the professor.

Multiple Course or Prolonged Illness ProtocolStudents who have a prolonged or significant illness that affects a number of course requirements, in multiple courses, shall proceed as follows. Students in on-campus courses who are significantly ill and are unable to meet multiple assignment due dates or to write term tests within multiple courses should seek medical treat-ment and provide confirmation of the extended or pervasive nature of the illness to the Registrar’s Office as soon as possible by submitting a Verification of Illness form. This form is available on the Registrar’s Office webpage or from the Student Services desk.

Adjustment of multiple due dates or deferral of term tests or assignments are not automatic upon the presenta-tion of suitable medical verification. The Registrar’s Office and professors will use this documentation and all information available to them when determining what accommodation is warranted.

The Registar’s Office will advocate on behalf of the student to provide a systematic and coordinated response to the student. Depending on the circumstances, medical information and recommendation, student abil-ity, course outcomes, professor recommendations, scheduling, and other considerations, accommodations may include, but are not limited to, suggested extension to the semester, extension to due dates, withdrawal (without academic penalty) from one or more classes, etc. Any adjustment within multiple courses shall be appealed to, and determined by, the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee.

Documentation for Accommodation Request due to IllnessIn the cases noted above, students who consult their physicians or use the services of a walk-in clinic must provide the Verification of Illness form to the attending physician for completion. Doctors’ notes and forms created by the physician or clinic are normally not acceptable. Although not compelled to do so, professors (within individual courses) or the Registrar’s Office (within multiple courses) may accept medical documenta-tion that contains the same information specified on the Verification of Illness form. Fees for this service levied by practitioners are the student’s responsibility.

False Medical Claims and Academic DishonestyFalse claims such as illness and/or the submission of false supporting medical documentation constitute an ac-ademic offence that will result in disciplinary action in accordance with the Academic Dishonesty regulations of the Academic Calendar.

Withdrawal from UniversityStudents who to wish to withdraw officially must do so with the Registrar’s Office. The Registrar’s Office will then assist students in notifying various departments of the university such as residence, finance, and faculty. The effective date of withdrawal is the date on which the Registrar’s Office accepts the withdrawal. If students withdraw prior to the last date for course additions, no official record of their attendance in these courses will

Page 51: Academic Calendar 2014-15

Academic Regulations 51Crandall University Crandall University

be maintained. Students who withdraw after the last date for course additions, and prior to the last date for withdrawals, will receive W grades on all courses in which they were registered. The administration of the University may request students to withdraw from the University at any time for un-satisfactory conduct, for failure to abide by University regulations, or for failure to achieve university academic standards.

Change of Major/ProgramStudents who change from one major to another or from one program to another should discuss the situation with academic advisors, and they should fill out a Change of Major/Program form which can be obtained from the Registrar’s Office. The decision to change needs to be approved by the Registrar’s Office and, in some cases, may require re-assessment by the Admissions Office. Students must also realize that any such change may ex-tend the time frame for completion of their programs.

Course Assessment: Dates and TimesThe dates and times of all tests and the due dates of all assignments shall be included in course syllabi whenev-er possible. When this is not possible, such dates and times must be announced at least two weeks in advance if the test or assignment comprises less than 25% of the final grade in the course, or four weeks in advance if the test or assignment comprises 25% or more of the final grade.

Missed due dates: Normally the weighting of the missed assignment is added to the final examination weight-ing or spread over the remaining assignments. Assignment due dates are not extended. It might be imprac-tical to apply this in all courses, particularly in project-based or thesis courses where submissions must be made. Professors may use their discretion in these cases and allow an extension.

Missed term tests: Normally the weight of the missed test is added to the final examination weighting or spread over the remaining tests. Term tests are not normally deferred.

No student shall be required to sit for a test outside normal class hours, as designated by the academic sched-uling, except by the mutual agreement of the student and professor.When a student has more than two major tests or assessments on a given day, the student should contact the professors at least two weeks prior to the test day to request alternative arrangements. A major test or assess-ment is one that comprises 25% or more of the student’s final grade.During the final week of classes, no tests or assignments may be administered or due except those which, together, comprise less than 25% of the student’s final grade in the course.After the last day of classes, no tests, assignments, presentations, or any other form of evaluation shall be ad-ministered or due except those administered by the Registrar’s Office.

End of Semester RegulationsAfter the last day of classes, no professor shall receive assignments from students, nor may students submit such assignments to a professor. Any student wishing to submit an assignment past the last day of classes must be directed to submit an Academic Appeal to the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee. The professor may write a letter indicating his or her level of support and suggested outcome.

Bachelor of Education students, within Bachelor of Education courses, may submit assignments until the last day of the scheduled examination period with the professor’s approval. After the last day of exams, no professor shall receive assignments from students; any student wishing to submit an assignment past the last day of exams must be directed to submit an Academic Appeal to the Academic Standards & Appeals Committee. The profes-

Page 52: Academic Calendar 2014-15

Academic Regularions 52 Crandall University

sor may write a letter indicating his or her level of support and suggested outcome.

Reading DaysEach semester the formal lecture period, as defined by the dates published in the Academic Calendar, normally ends at least one day before examinations, and this class-free period shall be designated as “Reading Day(s).” Except where classes are rescheduled as the result of a campus-wide closure, no classes or assessments are to be conducted after the last day of classes.

In the period between the last day of classes and the beginning of final examinations, no professor shall be per-mitted to administer, and no student shall be required to sit for, examinations, tests, presentations, or lectures. It is important to ensure that the student has equitable opportunity to prepare for the final examination of all courses taken during the term.

In limited cases, a professor may believe that an assessment may be administered only within the Reading Day(s). In such cases the professor may apply for relief from this clause only by means of a written request to the Vice-President for Academic Affairs. This request must occur prior to the commencement of the semester, and it must prove that the timing of the assessment is pedagogically in the best interests of the students, and that it is essential to meet the outcomes of the course. If approved, the Registrar’s Office shall note this assessment as an official part of the examination timetable, and all applicable policies shall apply.

Final ExaminationsFinal, comprehensive examinations shall be interpreted in the ordinary sense of the word; usually they cover all, or a very substantial portion of, the material dealt with in one academic term, and they usually represent 25% or more of the course grade.

Final examinations for the fall semester are held in December. Final examinations for the winter semester are held in April. Students will be provided with a final examination schedule no later than four weeks into each semester. The period of the term scheduled for final examinations is reserved for preparation and sitting for the final examination. The period may also be reserved for the completion and submission of an alternative assignment, with equivalent time commitments for those courses without final examinations. All examinations, or alternative assignments, must be submitted to and coordinated by the Registrar’s Office. Apart from these assessments, no course assignments are to be due or received after the last day of classes.

Final examinations shall be written during the periods specified in the Academic Calendar and as scheduled by the Registrar’s Office. No professor shall be permitted to administer, and no student shall be required to sit for, comprehensive examinations during the formal lecture period. For courses with no final examination, no assignments are to be due following the last day of classes. Where such assignments replace a final examination (e.g. take home examinations, presentations, etc.), professors will communicate the need to the Registrar’s Of-fice, and the assignment will be scheduled accordingly.

Final Examination Timetable Conflict ResolutionIf a student has a conflict with a final examination that has been detected during the examination scheduling process, the professor will be notified by the Registrar’s Office, and the Registrar’s Office will issue an alternate examination schedule to the student.

Student Change of Examination Requests: Final Examinations ReliefExamination scheduling for students shall ensure the following:i. No student shall have examinations within three consecutive time blocks or three examinations within a 24

Page 53: Academic Calendar 2014-15

Academic Regulations 53Crandall University Crandall University

hour period;ii. No student shall have more than one examination scheduled within one examination block.

Students shall complete the Change of Examination Request form and apply to the Registrar’s Office for relief from the failure of (i.) or (ii.) by the date specified when the final examination timetable is released. This form should be submitted at least two weeks before the start of the examination period. Relief is defined as allowing students to write one, or more, of the exams at a different time as close to the original time as possible. This timeframe shall not exceed 48 hours. No student is permitted to discuss the examination with any other student or a grade of Failure will be assigned to the examination. The new schedule shall be determined by the Regis-trar’s Office.

Student Change of Examination Requests: Adjustment Due to Elective ArrangementsElective arrangements, such as travel plans, are normally not considered acceptable grounds for granting an alternative examination time. In exceptional cases, students may appeal this policy to the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee. Students shall complete the Change of Examination Request form and submit it, with any additional notation of appeal, to the Registrar’s Office. In rare cases where exceptions are granted, a seven-ty-five ($75) fee per exam will be applied to the student’s account to address proctoring and administrative fees.

Student Change of Examination Requests: Adjustment Due to IllnessFrom time to time students become ill or have ongoing medical conditions that prevent them from meeting academic obligations. Crandall University is committed to assisting students who are ill to achieve the best possible academic outcome.

Documentation

Students in on campus courses who are ill and are unable to meet assignment due dates or to write a term test or final examination should seek medical treatment and provide confirmation of the illness to the Registrar’s Office within 48 hours by submitting a Verification of Illness form and request for Change of Examination due to illness. Students may access these forms online via the Registrar’s Office webpage, or in person via the Stu-dent Services Desk.

Students who consult their physician or use the services of a walk-in clinic must provide the Verification of Illness form to the attending physician for completion; doctors’ notes and forms created by the physician or clinic are generally not acceptable. Although not compelled to do so, the Registrar’s Office may accept medical documentation that contains the same information specified on the Verification of Illness form. Fees for this service levied by practitioners are the responsibility of the student.

Management of Requests for Adjustment Due to Illness

Adjustment of due dates or deferrals of term tests or final examinations are not automatic upon the presentation of suitable medical verification. Professors will use this documentation and all information available to them when determining whether accommodation is warranted. A student who becomes ill during the writing of an examination and is unable to continue should ensure, before leaving the site of the examination, that the Chief Proctor or the Professor of Record is notified of the situation. In addition, the student must supply the medical documentation specified above to the Registrar’s Office within 48 hours after the partially completed examina-tion is submitted.

If a student completes an examination, even though s/he is ill, the grade obtained in the course will normally stand. Subsequent petitions for an exception to academic regulations on the grounds of illness may be con-

Page 54: Academic Calendar 2014-15

Academic Regularions 54 Crandall University

sidered if accompanied by the documentation specified above. The student’s department or faculty may take the illness into consideration and possibly alter academic standing, but the grade will not normally be altered. False claims of illness and/or the submission of false supporting medical documentation constitute an academic offence that will result in disciplinary action (see the Academic Dishonesty section of the Academic Calendar).

Students who are absent from final examinations without acceptable excuse will be assigned a grade of “F” for those examinations.

General Examination Regulationsi. All materials or belongings that a student brings into the examination room are to be left at the front of the room and inaccessible to the student. The only exception will be for those courses where the professors have approved the use of certain notes or materials to write their exams.ii. All cellular phones and other electronic devices must be turned off or on silent. Such devices may not be on the student’s person, and they must remain inaccessible while in the examination room. In rare cases, students may request that the Chief Proctor have access to the device only when the student is expecting a call of an emergency nature.iii. Students must bring their Crandall University-issued student identification cards to be placed on their desks as they write to be eligible to write the examination. If the cards are not produced, professors/proctors may accept another form of photo identification instead. Students whose identification cards are not considered acceptable by the professors/proctors will not be permitted to write until such time as their identities are con-firmed. Any loss of time, due to inadequate provision of identification, shall by forfeited by the students.iv. Whenever possible, students writing the same exam will distance themselves from their classmates by at least one space.v. After the examination has begun, students may not enter or leave the room within the first thirty (30) min-utes. This is to ensure adequate time for students properly to review and understand the exam and to facilitate a low distraction environment. If the professor is late, but arrives within the thirty minute period, the examina-tion will proceed with additional, corresponding time allowed to compensate for the late start. If the professor has not arrived after thirty minutes, students will be dismissed and asked to leave the examination room quietly. The professor will then need to make suitable arrangements with the Vice President for Academic Affairs to ad-just the course grades so that no student shall be penalized for the lack of opportunity to write the examination.vi. Once the examination has started, students may, with the permission of a professor or proctor, leave the examination room briefly only to use the washroom. In such cases, students must be either accompanied by an assigned proctor or go alone if the proctor deems that the washroom is free of study aids. In either case, students may not leave the examination room with electronic devices.vii. After the examination has begun, students may not enter or leave the examination room within the first thirty (30) minutes. Students who arrive late for examinations may be barred from writing, and they must immediately submit a written appeal with the Registrar’s Office. Students may be permitted to write the exam-ination in the remaining time pending both room and proctor availability and that their entrance will not be a distraction to others already writing. No extension of time will be granted to studens who are allowed to sit in the examination after arriving late. The Academic Standards and Appeals Committee decides whether or not to accept late students’ examinations for grading.viii. Misreading the exam schedule is not a valid reason for missing an exam. A rewrite will not be permitted without a formal appeal approved by the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee.ix. After students have written the exam, they are not permitted to linger in hallways near the examination rooms as these are designated quiet zones.x. Students caught in the act of cheating, or accused of such, shall be subject to the procedures for suspected ac-ademic dishonesty. Should students be found guilty of academic dishonesty, the penalty will minimally include an “F” on the examination. Such penalties may also include an “F” on the course, suspension, or dismissal from Crandall University.

xi. Students are not permitted to bring food into the examination room. Students may bring a beverage, but water only is permitted in the Court. If a student must bring food for medical reasons, that individual is to contact the Registrar’s Office a minimum of two weeks prior to the examination period so that arrangements can be made.xii. Students are subject to any and all applicable policies within the Academic Regulations of Crandall Univer-sity, and they should be aware of such as noted within this current Academic Calendar.

Academic Dishonesty During Final ExaminationsDuring an examination, if a student gives assistance to or receives assistance from another student, or has un-authorized aids, such individuals will be liable to disciplinary action. If a professor or proctor has reasonable grounds to believe that a violation of academic regulations has occurred, the Chief Proctor or Professor of Re-cord shall follow the Academic Dishonesty procedure as follows:

i. Remove anything on the desk not authorized for use in the examination and keep it until the student has com-pleted the examination and handed in the booklet, etc., as required;ii. Move all knapsacks, bags, purses, pencil cases, etc., if not moved already. Remove any evidence that is visible. Such removal is to done in the presence of the student and another proctor. Evidence may include, but is not limited to, notes and electronic devices. If the student requires a copy of such evidence, a copy is to be provided with the original to be retained by the proctor;iii. Require the student to move to a seat where the proctor can more easily monitor the student;iv. Ask a student to adduce evidence where the proctor believes that student has hidden it on his or her person. If the student refuses, the proctor will accompany, or send, the student to the Registrar’s Office to review the situation with the Registrar or designate. Under no circumstances should be student be touched;v. Remove the foolscap or answer book(s) and replace with new ones;vi. In all cases a student is to be permitted to finish writing the examination.

As soon as possible following the conclusion of the examination, the Chief Proctor or Professor of Record is expected to do the following:i. Make a note of the time and details (e.g. refusal to cooperate);ii. Explain to the alleged offender that the status of her or his paper is in question;iii. Identify the paper and set it aside;iv. Inform the Registrar of the circumstances;v. Submit all of the evidence available to the Registrar’s Office.

Such an examination, with all noted evidence, shall be submitted to the Academic Standards and Appeals Com-mittee. Should a student be determined to have been cheating the student shall be assigned an “F” on the course, and that student may be subject to suspension or dismissal.

Student Access to Final Examination PapersFor many courses, final examinations are a major component of student assessment and often contribute substantially to the final grades awarded. In addition, final examinations may serve an important educational purpose in indicating to students what, and how well, they have learned in the course. Course professors may choose to use final examinations for one or both of these objectives.

A student may challenge a final grade by submitting a request to the professor within one month of notifica-tion of the mark. The student will then be provided supervised access to the final examination paper. Super-visors may include the Professor of Record or a designate from the Registrar’s Office. The student may provide written comments, which will be forwarded, along with the examination paper, to the faculty member for con-

Page 56: Academic Calendar 2014-15

Academic Regularions 56 Crandall University

sideration in responding to the challenge. If the student is not satisfied with the response, s/he may contact the Registrar’s Office regarding a reassessment challenge.

Release of Final Semester GradesFinal course grades will not be released to individual students and will only be released by the Registrar’s Office via the Student Information System. Faculty may not provide final grades or final exam grades to students in any form prior to the release of grades by the Registrar’s Office. Transcript requests will be processed after the official release of grades. Marks will not be released until students’ accounts have been paid in full.

Grading StandardsStudents will be assessed according to the grading requirements indicated in the courses’ syllabi. All professors are expected to abide by the Guidelines for Grading and Reporting Grades stated below.

Guidelines for Grading and Reporting GradesGrading policies for courses are stated within individual syllabi. These policies attempt to ensure that all stu-dents are assessed fairly in relation to other students in the same class, students in other sections of the same course, and students in other courses at the University.

The grading standard is based on students’ demonstrated abilities in some of the following areas: understanding, critical evaluation, analysis and synthesis, organization, application, and appropriate writing form and style.

When questions about marks given on individual course assignments occur during the academic year, students should deal with professors directly. If this action does not result in a satisfactory conclusion, students may choose to discuss the matter with their faculty advisor or the Registrar, and/or they may choose to make a for-mal written appeal to the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee.

In instances where students believe that professors are specifically singling them out and not treating them consistently with the other students in the class, the Vice President for Academic Affairs should be contacted.

Should students have any questions about the accuracy of their final marks, the Registrar’s Office needs to be contacted immediately. If any error in calculating or recording the mark is discovered, the correction will be made automatically, and a new transcript of marks will be issued to the students. Should no error be detected resulting in continued dissatisfaction on the part of the students, they may appeal to the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee. This appeal must be made in writing and should contain all pertinent information and concerns regarding the situation. The Academic Standards and Appeals Committee is not required to search out information if students have not offered sufficient details in their appeals. Whenever possible students need to substantiate claims made within their appeal letters.

Reporting of GradesAll grades must be submitted on or before the due date as noted in the Academic Calendar. Outstanding grades, without an approved extension, will be noted as a grade of “F” on student records. Following submission of final grades, faculty are not permitted to change grades except in the cases where a calculation of grade error has occurred or a student-initiated appeal has resulted in a change in the original grade. Such a change must be submitted by the professor with an explanation.

Page 57: Academic Calendar 2014-15

Academic Regulations 57Crandall University Crandall University

The Registrar’s Office releases grades to students at the end of each semester only in cases where all accounts with the University have been paid.

Grading Scale and SymbolsStandard alpha symbols are used as the official means to indicate course results. Grade points and percentage equivalents are stated below. (Percentage equivalents are offered below as a point of general comparison, but they have no official status in the reporting of grades.)

A+ = 4.33 (94-100%)A = 4.00 (87-93%)A- = 3.67 (80-86%)B+ = 3.33 (77-79%)B = 3.00 (74-76%)B- = 2.67 (70-73%)C+ = 2.33 (67-69%)C = 2.00 (64-66%)C- = 1.67 (60-63%)D+ = 1.33 (57-59%)D = 1.00 (54-56%)D- = 0.67 (50-53%)F+ = 0.33 (40-49%)F = 0.00 (below 40%)

In addition to the above grading symbols, five other designations are possible:

P – Pass is usually awarded for non-credit program requirements. It is not calculated into the GPA.

W – Withdrew is assigned when students withdraw from courses after the second week of classes and prior to the last day to withdraw as indicated in the calendar of events.

IP – In Progress is assigned to active transcripts when students are actually in the process of completing the course or program. It is also assigned in extenuating circumstances when students have been unable to com-plete the course requirements in the normal time period. Usually this delay would not exceed more than six weeks. The Academic Standards & Appeal Committee must approve this extension.

I – Incomplete is assigned temporarily, at the request of professors, when students in non-credit courses have work not completed.

AU – Audit is assigned for courses that have been audited. It is not calculated into the GPA.

Education Internship Grading SystemP = PassF = Fail

Grade Point Average (GPA)The Grade Point Average (GPA) is an indication of students’ academic performance based on a scale ranging from 0.00 to 4.33 (see grade scale earlier). The GPA is calculated by changing each letter grade to its grade point equivalent and multiplying this number by the number of credit hours attributed to the course. These points are then totalled and divided by the total credit hours attempted by students. Students’ transcripts will reflect both sessional GPA’s as well as a cumulative GPA for all the courses taken to that point.

Dean’s ListStudents who are enrolled in Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, or Bachelor of Business Adminis-tration degree programs, or an equivalent, will be considered Dean’s List students if they maintain an overall annual GPA of 3.70 (A- / A) or more.

Academic Probation/DismissalDuring the annual assessment period at the end of the winter semester the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee may decide to dismiss students from the University at any time for failure to meet academic requirements.

B.A., B.Sc., or B.B.A. students who have attempted between 24-51 credit hours of work and who are unable to achieve a minimum cumulative GPA of 1.50 must be assessed by the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee and may be dismissed as a result of this assessment.

B.A., B.Sc., or B.B.A. students who have attempted a minimum of 23 credit hours, but have not yet earned 54 credit hours of work, and have achieved a cumulative GPA of between 1.50 and 2.00 will be considered on Academic Probation.

B.A., B.Sc., or B.B.A. students who have earned more than 51 credit hours of work and who are un-able to achieve a minimum cumulative GPA of 1.50 must be assessed by the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee and may be placed on probation or may be academically dismissed as a result of this assessment.

Students who complete courses from other universities or colleges while on Academic Dismissal from Crandall University are not eligible to receive credit for transfer toward their degrees at Cran-dall University.

Students who enter the university on conditional acceptance are given a miniumum of 24 credit hours to improve their probationary status. To change their conditional status students must obtain a cumulative GPA of at least 1.50. Students who have not met this requirement but have obtained a sessional GPA between 1.00 and 1.49 will be permitted to continue their studies on academic proba-tion. Failure to meet the minimum GPA standard of 1.00 will result in academic dismissal.

Academic probation and dismissal guidelines regarding students who are enrolled in Education and Adult Learner Professional Studies Degree Completion programs are presented in separate doc-uments. Inquiries should be made to the program director regarding Adult Learner Professional Studies Degree Completion and to the Assistant Registrar regarding Education.

Page 59: Academic Calendar 2014-15

Academic Regulations 59Crandall University Crandall University

Any academically dismissed student has the right to appeal the University’s decision in writing to the Academic Council. Such a request should be forwarded to the Registrar. Any academically dis-missed students who receive permission from the Academic Council to return to Crandall University will be placed on conditional re-admittance. The student will need to achieve a cumulative GPA of at least 1.50 to have their probationary status removed.

Students are normally removed from probationary status when they achieve a cumulative GPA of 1.50, which then returns students’ status to good academic standing.

Academic StatusAcademic status is assessed annually by the Registrar’s Office based on students’ GPA and years of study. These are the types of academic standing that may be assigned:

Academic Dismissal – Students are not permitted to register at the university for one calendar year when they have received academic dismissal.

Academic Probation –Students with a cumulative GPA of less than 1.50 are placed on academic probation.

Conditional Acceptance – Students must achieve a cumulative GPA of 1.50 in their first year with the university if they have been conditionally accepted.

Conditional Re-admittance – Students are permitted to re-register with academic stipulations if they fall within this category.

Good Standing – Students in good standing have minimum cumulative GPA’s of 1.50.

Graduate – Students have successfully completed all of the academic and program requirements for the pro-gram indicated.

Graduate with Honours – Students have successfully completed all of the academic and program requirements for the honours degree indicated.

Letter of Permission – Students are visiting from another institution.

Potential Graduate – Students are eligible to graduate.

Registered Student – Students registered for the current academic year.

Withdrawal – Students initiated withdrawal, so they have incurred no academic penalty.

Academic DishonestyThe members of Crandall University’s academic community are expected to conduct their work responsibly and with integrity. The faculty assumes that all written and oral work in any course is original or credited to the proper source. Crandall University will not tolerate the following forms of academic dishonesty:

1. Cheating on tests, quizzes, examinations, projects, reports, or any other assignment designed to evalu-ate students.

Page 60: Academic Calendar 2014-15

Academic Regularions 60 Crandall University

2. Impeding the academic progress of other students.3. Submitting the same work for credit in two courses without permission to do so.4. Having others do students’ academic work or doing others’ work.5. Involvement in acts of plagiarism, which is the presentation of another person’s ideas or words as stu-

dents’ own without proper documentation. Material that must be documented includes summaries, paraphrases, public broadcasts, lectures, and quotations.

Penalties for Academic Dishonesty

Penalties for academic dishonesty include one or more of the following:• reprimand and rewrite• reduction of grade on the assignment (maximum penalty of “F”)• grade of F on the course• suspension• dismissal

When encountering any form of academic dishonesty, professors have some discretion in determining the se-riousness of the offense. This discretion needs to be tempered by an awareness that their courses are part of a larger educational context at Crandall University and that there have been general guidelines and practices es-tablished by the University’s Academic Standards and Appeals Committee in an effort to minimize the presence of academic dishonesty at Crandall University. The objective is to create a balance between allowing flexibility from one professor to another, but also establishing a range of consistent and appropriate treatments for all Crandall students.

Plagiarism specifically represents a controversial and difficult form of academic dishonesty within any univer-sity, so the following guidelines have been approved by the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee as the consistent and appropriate measure for faculty to follow at Crandall.

1. When students in their first year at Crandall University commit plagiarism, professors may allow stu-dents to rewrite the assignment with a reduction in grade. However, depending on the severity of the offense, professors may assign instead an “F” on the assignment or even an “F” on the entire course and they must submit the students’ names to the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee. Should this occur the professors must also clearly state for the students the specific reasons for this decision. If students question professors’ decisions in such cases, they must submit their appeals in written form to the Registrar as Chair of the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee.

2. In cases of plagiarism by students in their second or subsequent years at Crandall University, professors must give the assignments or papers an “F”, and they must submit the students’ names and evidence of the offense to the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee. In making their submissions to the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee, professors may recommend, with reasons, that the “F” grade be raised or that an “F” be assigned for the entire course.

3. In cases when students’ names are submitted to the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee of the University by professors, the members of the committee will make a decision regarding the penalty to be imposed and will notify both students and professors of the outcomes and the reasons why. (The Ac-ademic Standards and Appeals Committee may choose to interview students and/or faculty members involved should further clarification be needed.) A copy of the letter that is sent to students will also be placed in their particular files.

4. The penalty for a second offense of plagiarism, which occurs after students have been penalized for a first offense by the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee, is either suspension or dismissal.

5. Plagiarism that is determined after the assignment has been returned or after students have complet-ed the course or degree program will be reported by the professors responsible for discovering the

Page 61: Academic Calendar 2014-15

Academic Regulations 61Crandall University Crandall University

plagiarism to the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee, which will implement the penalties retroactively.

Since final examinations are administered by the Registrar’s Office, incidents of academic dishonesty during the writing of final examinations will be addressed by the Registrar in consultation with the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee and the professor of record for the course in which the offense has been committed.

Academic dishonesty involving the collaboration of two or more students may result in penalties for all in-volved. Students accused of academic dishonesty are encouraged to discuss the matter directly with the profes-sor. If no satisfactory conclusion is reached, students have the right to appeal the professor’s decision in writing to the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee and the decision of the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee to the Senate. All appeals to the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee must be made within two weeks of being notified of the offense.

Complaint Resolution ProcessNon-instructional Academic ConcernsShould the complaint involve a faculty member or faculty equivalent administrator, and should the complaint be related to his/her conduct or treatment of students, this process shall be followed:1. The student should speak to the faculty member or administrator. Students are encouraged to talk to the individual first to resolve the issue. As a professional courtesy, Crandall University asks students to contact the faculty member by phone, by email, or by scheduling an appointment. The student is also asked to be clear about what the concern is and how the student would like the issue to be resolved. If the issue does not reach resolution, or if the circumstances of the complaint make it impossible to meet with the individual directly concerned, the student may proceed to step two.2. The student may take his/her complaint to the Departmental Head. The Head may meet with the facul-ty member and/or the student together, if appropriate, to discuss the complaint. If the faculty member of concern is the Departmental Head, or if the issue does not reach resolution, the student may proceed to step three.3. The student may submit a formal letter of complaint to the Vice-President for Academic Affairs. The letter shall clearly communicate the following:a. Outline the nature of the complaint;b. Indicate that the initial steps seeking resolution have been followed with no resolution to the student’s satis-faction;c. Provide a suggested remedy for the complaint;d. Provide any additional materials the student wishes to have included in consideration of the complaint.The Vice President shall meet with the faculty member and/or the student, and any other relevant parties, to attempt to resolve the complaint. The student, faculty member, AVP & Registrar, and supervisor will receive a copy of the written decision. Decisions of the Vice President shall be considered final, and the complaint process shall be considered complete.

Instructional Academic ConcernsShould the complaint involve a faculty member as related to his/her capacity as course instructor with regards to course assessment, grade queries, or other academic or instructional issues, this process shall be followed:1. The student should speak to the course instructor. Students are encouraged to talk to the instructor first to resolve the issue. As a professional courtesy, Crandall University asks students to contact the instructor by phone, by email, or by scheduling an appointment. The student is also asked to be clear about what the concern is and how the student would like the issue resolved. If the issue does not reach resolution, or if the circumstances of the complaint make it impossible to meet with the instructor directly concerned, the student may proceed to step two.

Page 62: Academic Calendar 2014-15

Academic Regularions 62 Crandall University

2. The student may take his/her complaint to the Departmental Head. The Head may meet with the instruc-tor and/or the student together, if appropriate, to discuss the complaint. If the instructor is the Departmental Head, the student may take his/her complaint to the AVP & Registrar. If the issue does not reach resolution, the student may proceed to step three.3. The student may submit an Academic Appeal for Students document to the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee of the Senate. The document is available online or at the Student Service Desk. Noted within the form is the request that the document be accompanied by a letter, a Verification of Illness form, additional medical notation (where applicable), copies of all correspondence relating to the appeal (where ap-plicable), an indication that the student has requested that a letter of comment be sent to the Registrar’s Office from any affected professors, or the Department Head for the program, as well as any additional information or documentation that may be considered relevant to the matter at hand. Only materials received in writing will be considered.The Academic Standards and Appeals Committe of the Senate shall receive relevant, written information from the instructor and/or the student, and any other relevant parties, to attempt to resolve the complaint. The student, instructor, and Office of the Registrar will receive a copy of the written decision. Decisions of the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee shall be considered final and binding, and the complaint process shall be considered complete.

Academic Concerns: Challenge of Academic StatusShould a student wish to challenge an academic status, normally that of Academic Dismissal, this process shall be followed:1. Upon receiving official notification of the academic status (dismissal) from the Academic Standards and Appeals Committee of Senate, the student may contact the Office of the Assistant Vice President & Registrar, who shall formally serve in the role of student advocacy and provide assistance with the process.2. The student may submit a formal letter of appeal to the Academic Council of Senate. The letter shall clearly communicate the following:a. Outline the nature of the dismissal from the student’s perspective;b. Indicate the circumstances and situations that contributed to the deficiency in academic performance;c. Provide a suggested remedy to those circumstances and situations, indicating how these remedies will lead to a successful academic experience;d. Provide a suggested academic, and social, support structure to support the student, indicating how these support structures will lead to a successful academic experience;e. Provide any additional materials the student wishes to have included in consideration of the appeal. It is recommended that the student request that a letter of comment be sent to the Academic Council from a pro-fessor, Faculty Head, or Varsity Coach. Only materials received in writing will be considered.

The Academic Council of the Senate shall receive the student’s Transcript of Academic Record from the Office of the Registrar. The Academic Council may also seek relevant information from course instructors, the Co-ordinator of Student Support Services, the student, and any other relevant parties. The student and the Office of the Registrar will receive a copy of the written decision. Decisions of the Academic Council shall be con-sidered final and binding. The status will remain for the prescribed period, and the complaint process shall be considered complete.

Statute of Limitations on Course or Program AppealsA student may challenge a final grade in an individual course by submitting a written request to review the grade to the Professor of Record within one month of notification of the final mark. The student may need to produce any and all original, related assignments and provide these to the professor. The student may also request supervised access to the final examination paper if applicable.

Page 63: Academic Calendar 2014-15

Academic Regulations 63Crandall University Crandall University

If the student is not satisfied with the response, she or he may contact the Registrar’s Office regarding a reas-sessment challenge.

A student may request such a review only within one month of notification of the final mark. After thirty (30) days, no such review or appeal will be entertained by the University.

Auditing CoursesStudents who wish to attend classes in courses without being assigned a grade may register to audit the course, subject to the following regulations:

1. Registrations for audit will not be accepted without permission of the course instructor.2. Normal regulations and deadlines regarding course adds and drops apply.3. Students cannot change courses from credit to audit or from audit to credit after the last day for

course changes in a semester.

Letter of PermissionStudents currently enrolled at Crandall University, who wish to enrol in another institution and transfer credits into their Crandall University program of study, must complete a Letter of Permission. No credit shall be given to an enrolled student, for courses taken elsewhere, unless permission has been given from the Registrar’s Of-fice. Any additional administrative, financial, and admissions requirements for courses taken elsewhere are the sole responsibility of the student. Students must be in good standing to take courses on letter of permission.

Transfer credits are recorded on the transcript with credit value only. No transfer credit grade is recorded, and transfer credits are excluded from students’ GPA’s.

Convocation RequirementsStudents in degree programs are eligible to convocate if they have achieved a cumulative GPA of 1.67 or a GPA of 2.00 over the last 60 credit hours of their course work.Certificates are awarded only if students have achieved a cumulative GPA of 1.67 in their program requirements.

Bachelor of Arts, Bachelor of Science, and Bachelor of Business Administration students who have achieved a minimal cumulative GPA of 3.67 upon completion of their program will receive a “with distinction” designation on their degrees.

Students who expect to complete all of their degree requirements at the end of a particular semester must submit an Application to Graduate form along with their $50.00 graduation fee six months prior to their anticipated Spring Convocation and two months prior to their anticipated Fall Convo-cation. Failure to meet this deadline may result in students’ ineligibility to graduate on the expected date. Potential graduates will normally convocate at the earliest available ceremony. Application to Graduate forms are available from the Registrar’s Office.

Community Practicum The Crandall Community Practicum (CCP) is a very significant part of a Crandall University education. Serving in a variety of areas gives Crandall University students an educational opportunity that is designed to be complementary to what is learned in classes. Upon graduation, individuals may request a Co-Curricular Record (CCR) to add to their resume or CV. Employers and graduate schools welcome strong CCR’s as they indicate graduates who are well rounded in their knowledge and experiences.

When Jesus was asked what the greatest commandment was, He replied that it was to love God with every-thing. Then He went on to say that another commandment was as important: we need to love others as we love ourselves. (Matthew 22:36-40) CCP provides students with the opportunity of living out this inseparable pair of commandments: showing love for God by showing love to other people.

The CCP is a required, non-credit course that all Crandall traditional undergraduate students must complete. It is composed of eight units. Normally one unit of CCP must be completed for every 15 credit hours of study, to a maximum of two units in any given calendar year. For students taking a full course load (4-6 courses), this translates to one CCP course for each fall and winter semester. Completion of Introduction to University (ID1000) meets the CCP requirements for the first unit, so no volunteer service is required in this semester. Any student (such as a transfer student) who is not required to complete Introduction to University must complete a CCP unit along with their initial 15 credit hours. Students can receive credit for a maximum of eight CCP units during their time of study at Crandall.

Each CCP unit is normally comprised of a minimum of 12 hours of pre-approved volunteer service. Ideally this service is spread out over the semester, but permission may be granted, upon appeal to the Director, to complete it in a more intensive manner.

It is of greater benefit to the student if this volunteer service is directly related to a student’s major or intended future vocation. For example, a student with a Communications major may wish to develop a social media strategy for a non-profit organization, or a person who hopes to become a doctor may want to volunteer at a hospital or nursing home. Faculty Advisors, the CCP Director, and the CCP Student Assistant will be ready to help students by suggesting settings that are good fits for them.

All new traditional undergraduate Crandall students will learn about CCP as part of the Introduction to University course. If they miss the class where CCP is presented they must set up an individual appointment with the Director to learn about the program. All students who for some reason do not take Introduction to University will participate in a mandatory CCP orientation session with the Director. Failure to participate in this session will mean that the student will not be eligible to complete any CCP Units.

At least once every year community organizations will be invited to take part in Community Volunteer Expo at Crandall. This will give students the opportunity of learning about practicum opportunities.

Faculty Advisors are very familiar with this program so they can offer advice and assistance to students.Further details related to CCP can be found in the Crandall Community Practicum Handbook. This hand-book can be accessed online or through the Student Services Desk. At any time students are welcome to ask questions (by email, phone or in person) either to the CCP Student Assistant ([email protected]) or to the CCP Director.

Second Degree RequirementsTo receive a second degree from Crandall University all requirements of the second degree must be fulfilled, including a minimal addition of 36 credit hours to the 120 credit hours of the first degree.

Directed StudiesA Directed Study is a 3000 or 4000 level reading course offered in special circumstances to upper level students on an individual basis. Directed Studies are available only on a limited basis due to the additional responsibility they place upon the faculty. Students interested in requesting a Directed Study course should follow the following procedures:

Contact a potential professor as well as the Registrar’s Office;Obtain a Directed Studies request form from the Registrar’s Office;Submit Directed Studies request forms to the Registrar prior to the last possible day for course changes of the semester in which the course is to be done, signed by the student and professor. Forms will be reviewed and submitted to the Vice President for Academic Affairs for consideration.

Transcript Requests The Registrar’s Office will process transcript requests received from students via a signed Transcript Request Form. Such requests will normally take three to five business days; however, at peak times, this process could take two weeks. A fee of $5.00 per official transcript is charged. Transcripts will not be released to students with outstanding account balances.

Updating Degrees Crandall University will exchange degrees for graduates of Crandall University who subsequently complete the requirements for a second major at a later date. These students will not participate in the Convocation cere-mony again, but acknowledgement of the change will be included in the Convocation program. They will be subject to the program regulations in place at the time of their return to the University.

The Council of Christian Colleges and Universities Study Programs

Because Crandall University is an affiliate member of The Council of Christian Colleges and Universities, a number of off-campus learning experiences are available to students.

American Studies ProgramThe American Studies Program, founded in September 1976, serves as the “Washington campus” of Council member colleges. Based on the principle of integrating faith, learning, and living, students spend a semester in Washington, DC earning academic credit by serving as interns and participating in a contemporary, issue-ori-ented seminar program. Available internships may include congressional offices, social service agencies, think tanks, or cultural institutions. The American Studies Program is designed for juniors and seniors with a wide range of academic majors and vocational interests.

Latin American Studies ProgramAn opportunity to live and learn in Latin America is available to students from Council member colleges through the Latin American Studies Program. Located in San Jose, Costa Rica, the program is committed to helping students examine and live out the lordship of Jesus Christ in an international context. Each semester, a group of approximately 25 students is selected to participate in this seminar and service experience.

Los Angeles Film Studies CenterIn January 1991, the Christian College Council inaugurated the Los Angeles Film Studies Center. Its purpose is to enable Christian college students to serve in various aspects of the film industry with professional skill and Christian integrity. Located in Burbank near major production studios, the semester-long program combines seminar courses with an internship in various segments of the film industry, providing students the opportunity to explore the industry within a Christian context and from a liberal arts perspective.

Middle East Studies ProgramThe Middle East Studies Program in Cairo, Egypt, provides students with the opportunity to study Middle Eastern cultures, religions, and conflicts from within this diverse and strategic region. Juniors and seniors from Christian colleges participate in interdisciplinary seminar classes, receive Arabic language instruction, and serve as interns with various organizations in Cairo. The Middle East Studies Program will encourage evangel-ical Christians to relate to the Muslim world in an informed and constructive manner.

Russian Studies ProgramThe Russian Studies Program allows juniors and seniors from Christian colleges to spend a semester living and learning in Russia. Students will study the language and attend seminar courses on Russian culture, history and current political and economic issues. Program participants experience a variety of Russian cities, living for two weeks in Moscow, ten weeks in Nizhni Novgorod (formerly Gorky), and three weeks in St. Petersburg.

PROGRAMS AND COURSE DESCRIPTIONS

Course Number SystemFour figures appear for each course indicated in the calendar. The first figure indicates the usual year of attendance in which the course is taken and/or the academic level at which the course is taught. For instance, {1} indicates that it is a course available for all first year students. All courses beginning with a {3} or {4} will be considered upper level courses requiring prerequisites. Generally 4000 level courses are very specialized within a particular major and available for third and fourth year students in that major. The 6000 level courses in Education are graduate level and require a B.Ed. or equivalent as a prerequisite.

The second and third figures provide the Registrar’s Office with the opportunity of maintaining a numeric distinctiveness between various courses offered from one semester to the next.

The fourth and final digit normally indicates the number of credit hours granted upon the successful completion of the course. For instance, half-year courses will end with a {3} and year courses will end with a {6}. Those course numbers ending in {0}are non-credit or non-academic courses but will still be awarded a pass (P) or fail (F) grade.

Crandall University utilizes a semester approach to its course offerings. This means that the majority of courses last for only one semes-ter and a final grade is given upon completion of each semester. However, in a few specific cases, such as would be found within many introductory courses or some upper level courses, one semester does not provide adequate time to cover all the necessary content. In these cases, the semester approach is maintained, but both fall and winter semesters are used in sequence to cover all the necessary material. In some cases, Part I is the prerequisite for Part II.

The courses listed in this section are not always offered every year but may occur, for instance, every other year. Students will need to consult the Registrar’s Office to determine what the normal sequencing pattern would be. Courses marked with an asterisk (*) are cross-listed in other disciplines.

These programs provide teachers who hold a Certificate 5 with the New Brunswick Department of Education the opportunity to advance to a Certificate 6 based on the criteria set by the Office of Teacher Certification with the Department of Education. The Office of Teacher Certification has confirmed that individuals holding a Certificate 4 will be able to use the completion of these courses towards the 36 credit hours required to advance to a Certificate 5.Space is limited to 20 students per course and is on a first come, first served basis. All courses are tentative pending sufficient enrolments. Students may not take courses toward both certificates concurrently. To register, connect with the Coordinator of Education Admissions.

Admission Requirements

Applicants to either of the Advanced Education Certificate programs are required to have a 60 credit hour Bachelor of Education degree, or equivalent, with a minimum grade point average of 3.0 (B). (The completion of these 60 credit hours also presumes a minimal equivalent of 168 credit hours overall when previous degrees’ credits are combined with the ap-plicant’s B.Ed. degree.) Please arrange for official transcripts from each previous post-secondary institution attended to be sent directly to Crandall University from the issuing institution(s).

All applicants to the Advanced Education Certificate programs must submit, along with their application, a resume and a cover letter that presents their professional goals and how the completion of the Advanced Certificate in either Litera-cy Education or Resource Education can help meet and achieve these aspirations.

Master of Organizational ManagementThe Master of Organizational Management is offered by Crandall University’s Adult Learner Professional Studies Division as an alternative to the Master of Business Administration degree in that it will focus more on working with and through people than on the technical aspects of business administration. The Master of Organizational Management is intended for passionate, dedicated, team-oriented working professionals looking to maximize their potential in managing people and leading organizations. Unlike an M.B.A., which usually focus-

Page 146: Academic Calendar 2014-15

Graduate Studies 146 Crandall University

es specially on the basic business disciplines of accounting, marketing and operations, the Master of Organiza-tional Management is about developing big-picture strategies and understandings and especially the knowledge necessary to lead and motivate people. The value of obtaining the Master of Organizational Management is that all organizations require effective man-agement. The program entails an interdisciplinary approach that allows Crandall to utilize its academic strengths by drawing on Ph.D. prepared faculty from several of Crandall’s faculties including Organizational Management, Sociology, Psychology, Religious Studies, Business, and Education. This 20 month program is delivered in a five-semester format enabling those fully employed (working profes-sionals) the classroom opportunity for completing their graduate degrees during evening hours. Classes are held just one night a week. The students hold a wide range of life, educational, and employment experiences that are essential ingredients for producing a rich classroom environment. The Master of Organizational Management degree is a thirty (30) credit hour program. Up to nine (9) credit hours may be fulfilled by transfer credits, at the 6000 graduate level, with a focus in Organizational Management. All 30 credit hours, including transfer credits, are expected to be completed within a five (5) year period.

Organizational Management 6013 Managing Organizations in Social Change This course will enable students to learn about managing organizations and social change processes through different problem domains such as sustainability, healthcare, and poverty alleviation. Theoretical perspectives to address the question of social change in organizations will be highlighted. The course will elaborate on macro accounts of how and why social change processes occur through multi-level hypothesizing. It will facilitate students to think critically about organizational phenomena through a progressive lens by exploring innovative insights and pioneering approaches on how to cultivate social change within or across organizations.

Organizational Management 6023 Managing Organizations across Borders and Cultures This course is focused on the field of intercultural and international management. It is designed to provide students with knowledge for enhancing the effective management of people and processes in a global context. As overseas operations depend a great deal on the interna-tional manager’s cultural skills and sensitivity, students are required to take on the role of a manager of any nationality dealing with dynamic management issues. The course is practitioner-oriented, addressing management strategies and behaviour necessary to develop global vision and management skills at both organizational and interpersonal levels.

dustries. This course is designed to enhance the understanding and skills needed in leading diverse and complex non-profit organizations. Students will broaden their perspective of non-profit organizations through international themes and concepts incorporated throughout their course work. This course aims to enhance students’ abilities in creating positive social change. Organizational Management 6103 Vision and Management This course investigates how answers to basic life questions guides management of self and co-workers. Some tacit or explicitly held im-ages of what it is to be a human being, whether secular or Christian, can be strong driving forces in how we understand and manage our-selves as well as others around us. Course material, lectures and assignments will explore philosophy, history and socio-cultural contexts of management so students develop a perspectival orientation. The result is a new way of thinking about leading others in daily work. Organizational Management 6213 Leading Organizational Change This course assists students in blending theories of leadership with concepts and models of organizational change. Students will engage in in-depth learning about the change process, which consists of a series of steps that focus on vision, implementation, change agents, and the internal and external components of change. This course provides students with the opportunity to develop insights into types of changes impacting organizations and possible strategies to address those changes effectively. Organizational Management 6223 Corporate Social Responsibility and Managerial Ethics This course considers key aspects of social change in today’s complex and interdependent globalized environment. Students will analyze the effects of social change on how managers position their enterprises, and students will identify decision-making strategies that allow mission-driven organizations to contribute toward social transformation. Key components of the course include the historic origins of value and moral systems, the formation of personal values, current ideologies and philosophical underpinnings for organizational and managerial ethics, and the key ethical challenges in the new millenium. Organizational Management 6313 Financial Management in Organizations This course builds on core themes, concepts, and theories necessary for managers to understand the key financial realities within their organization and to interact with the personnel responsible for interpreting this data. This course will look into both For-Profits and Not-for-Profits organizations’ approach to cash flow management, capital budgeting, cost analysis and allocation, investment management, the analysis of new programmatic investments, project finance, currency management, and strategic financial analysis. Organizational Management 6713 Strategic Organizational Management This course engages students in exploring the formulation, implementation, and maintenance of strategic organizational management. Students will explore methods of managing organizations, large and small. Topics will include the analysis of competitive position, value creation, developing system-wide goals and objectives, and strategic planning. Each student will select one case organization and work with this case throughout the course, concluding with a presentation that integrates appropriate approaches and management tools for strategy planning and execution. Organizational Management 6733 Organizational Behaviour This course will engage students in the investigation of behavioural factors that affect modern organizations and their management. Topics that students will be called upon to explore will include group and team dynamics, organizational structure, conflict management, perception, motivation, and leadership. Organizational Management 6743 Organizational Culture and Communication This class will examine the role of communication in the development of an organization’s culture. It begins with the premise that an orga-nization enacts a culture or a set of values, practices, and symbols that make it unique. The course investigates how communication shapes the internal culture of organizations, forms subcultures, and promotes cultural change. In particular, it focuses on the role of language, narratives, and symbols in the study of corporate culture, leadership, organizational change, and organizations in multinational settings.
