    Program Overview

    Computer Programmer/Analyst (Optional Co-op)

    Computer Programmer/Analyst is a 3 year diploma program in which students learn the latestskills needed by business application developers in industry. The program emphasizes problemsolving skills using the latest versions of Microsoft, Oracle, Java and open source software todevelop enterprise, Internet and mobile applications. Object-oriented analysis, design andprogramming techniques are mastered and applied throughout the program

    Students learn through a combination of theory and practice, applying their knowledge to hands-on assignments and challenging projects. Complementary courses in areas such asmathematics, accounting and communications support the core IT courses. All of these skills

    are then applied to a capstone group project in the last year, in which students build a majorbusiness application for a local business, providing students with a realistic, practicalexperience. In addition, Co-op students complete 8 months of work experience in theInformation Technology industry.

    For your own reference, you may also record your absence when there is no evaluation. Yourstudent portal would then provide a list of all absences from scheduled classes. However,please note that only an absence from a scheduled evaluation contributing to a final coursegrade is required.For instructions on how to use the portal see Notification Procedure for Absence fromEvaluationsProcess. If you are unable to record your absence on the portal, you must phone

    the professor or your School, PRIOR to the start of the assessed activity.

    We as faculty recognize that from time to time students may be absent from the program.

    1) The student must notify the professor PRIORto the start of an evaluation (as definedabove) or PRIORto the submission date for an assignment, project, or report.Notification can be made by the professors voice mail or email.

    2) The student must obtain medical documentation (i.e., doctors note) and have it signed

    by the students physician.

    3) The student must submit the medical documentation to the professor PRIORtoreturning to class and discuss the opportunity to make up any missed evaluations andsubmission deadlines.

    In the event a student is absent for an extended period of time (more than fiveconsecutive days), the student will be required to submit medical documentation (i.e.,doctors note) signed by the students physician and meet with the program Coordinatorand/or program Chair to discuss the opportunity to make up any missed evaluations and

    submission deadlines.

    Failure to provide PRIORnotification regarding an absence will result in a mark of ZEROfor that particular evaluation or submission.

    It is the students responsibility to contact the professor immediately upon their returnand provide the proper documentation as stated.

    The faculty reserves the right to modify the implementation of the above program standards &

    procedures, in individual cases, due to extenuating circumstances.

    Frequently Asked QuestionsWhen do I need to let my professor know if I am going to be absent form an evaluation(theory test, quiz, examination, major lab or practical skills evaluation, grouppresentation) or I am not going to be able to meet a submission deadline for anassignment?You must notify your professor/instructor PRIOR to the start of the scheduled time, in which theassessed activity is due or taking place.
