Class formats

Classes are available in two formats,

Regular Classroom and Continuous

Intake:

Regular Classroom: The instructorleads the students through the mate-

rial each day. All students start on

the same day, work through the

course material together, and finish

the course at the same time.

Continuous Intake (math only):Students start their studies at different

times throughout the year. Individual

students may be studying different

levels of courses. The instructor is

there to help, but each student must be

prepared to work independently.Students who are self-disciplined and

work well with printed instructions

will be successful in this environment.

CCP academic course repeat policy

A student who has received two

consecutive final letter grades of F

in the same College and Career

Preparation course can only enrol in

that same course for a third consecutive

time with permission from a counsellor

or the Dean/Regional Director.

However, the student may enrol in the

same course again after a one-semester

break.
