Academic Probation The establishment of specific requirements or conditions that a student must meet or fulfill within a stipulated time or else be suspended from further study at Talpiot. Academic Term There are two regular academic terms in the calendar year: 1) Fall: September to January; 2) Winter: February to June. An additional Mid-Winter term is sometimes offered for specific courses of study. This Mid-Winter Term runs from December to March. Intensive Summer Term courses are occasionally offered during the months of July and August. Academic Year The academic year in the undergraduate system consists of three terms (totaling a ten-month duration), typically from September to June. Years are normally classified as First Year (1 - 30 credits), Second Year (31 - 60 credits), Third Year (61 - 90 credits) and Fourth Year (honours students with 91 - 120 credits), and are used to indicate the level at which a student is studying. Audit A course without credit toward a degree or program. The student will not be allowed to write the final examination and will not receive a course grade. The classroom and laboratory privileges and responsibilities will be at the discretion of the instructor. The deadline to revise the status of a course from credit to audit is the final date to withdraw without academic penalty. Tuition fees are 85% of the regular course fee. Co-operative Education Program A program, structured so that relevant work experience is integrated with academic studies. (See Education, and Special Education sections of this calendar.) Co-requisite A co-requisite for a course states a condition or conditions which must be satisfied concurrently with registration in the course. This condition will normally be registration in a specified course unless credit is already held for the co-requisite course. Course A unit of study in a given discipline identified by a unique number and name in a given department. The weight or value of a course is defined as follows: a six-credit course normally consists of two contact hours per week taken over a ten-month period (September - June). A three-credit course is normally two contact hours per week conducted over a five-month period. A six-credit course denotes a full-credit course with 6.0 indicated as the course weight. A three-credit course is indicated with the 3.0 weight. Course Withdrawal Definitions Cancel: Withdrawing from all courses before classes have begun for a specific academic term. Drop: Withdrawing from one or more courses, but remaining in other(s) for a specific academic term. Withdraw: Withdrawing from all courses after classes have begun for a specific academic term. Degrees in Absentia Degrees awarded to graduates who are not able to be present at the Convocation ceremonies. Department An academic department as duly constituted by the Senate and Board of Governors (e.g., Department of Education, Department of Psychology, Department of Judaic Studies) Discipline Same as a subject (e.g., Philosophy, History, Religion). Elective A course chosen as part of a program but not a required course. The choice of elective may be subject to departmental approval or may have to be chosen from a stated group of courses. Exclusion An exclusion is a statement within a course description, indicating either that a student cannot hold credit for both the course to which the exclusion statement is attached and any course listed in the exclusion statement. It may also state that the course cannot be counted for credit in a program or toward the degree listed. Field of Specialization All the courses used to calculate the grade point average associated with the progression and graduation requirements for a specific program. This may include courses from a variety of departments as in the case of interdepartmental programs. Grade Point (GP) A number grade that is based on an equivalent letter grade for the purpose of calculating the Grade Point Value. Grade Point Average (GPA) The average of the grade points attained in specific courses. For purposes of calculation, the grade point (GP) earned in a three-credit course will be given one-half weight of that earned in a six-credit course. Honorary Degrees These degrees are conferred by the Senate of Talpiot to recognize individuals who have distinguished themselves in public service, scholastics and contribution to the general welfare of the community, province or country. Incomplete Grade The grade of "INC" (incomplete) is used when the instructor is not prepared to give a final mark for the semester, either because of the student's illness or due to some other justifiable delay in the completion of the course requirements. The "INC" grade becomes an "F" if the work is not completed before the end of the twelfth week of the following semester in attendance. Irregular Course A course for which the specific content has not been approved by Senate. This includes all courses titled Directed Studies or Special Topics, and is subject to special regulations. Judaic Studies Requirement Due to the unique perspective on higher education that is essence of the Talpiot program, students are required to satisfactorily complete at least five (5) Talpiot Judaic Studies courses in order to be able to graduate from any degree program. Junior Course A course at the 100 - 199 level (e.g., EDU 101 or PSY 101). Major The main area of concentration in a general program or a secondary area of concentration in an honours program. Mature Student A mature student is an applicant who meets all of the following conditions:
Minor A secondary area of concentration in an honours or general program requiring a sequence of at least three six-credit courses or equivalent in one subject as specified in the program description. Official Transcript A certified official copy of your academic records sent to Talpiot by your high school and/or ALL post-secondary institutions you have attended. This may not be a photocopy nor may it be a "student copy" of your academic record. Official transcripts must be sent from one academic institution directly to another - not to the student. Please also refer to the definition of a Talpiot Transcript. Practicum A program, structured so that relevant work experience is integrated with academic studies. Normally, a student registers full time but completes supervised work-related activities during a part of the day. Prerequisite A prerequisite for a course states a condition that must be satisfied prior to registration in the course. This condition may consist of a) obtaining credit for another course or other courses, or b) having a particular registration status, such as registration in a program and/or in a specified year, or as a senior student (i.e., a student who has obtained thirty or more credits), or c) having a minimum GPA (e.g., thesis courses). Program A group of courses, generally a combination of required and elective courses, which leads to a degree. General program: A program consisting of a minimum of 90 credits and normally taken over three academic years. Honours program: A program consisting of a minimum of 120 credits and normally taken over four academic years with an area of specialization. Senior Course A course at the 200 - 499 level. Such courses are normally restricted to senior students unless otherwise specified in the course description. Student A student is a person who is registered in a program that leads to a degree, diploma or certificate from Talpiot and includes all students, but does not include a visitor. Subject A specific field of study. Talpiot Transcript An official document prepared by the Office of the Registrar recording a student's academic performance and bearing the Talpiot seal. A transcript contains a chronological listing of courses and grades obtained. A fee may be charged for each transcript. Please also refer to the definition of an Official Transcript. Transfer Credits Credits earned in a recognized institution of higher education may be transferred into Talpiot degree programs to satisfy certain credit hour requirements subject to a credit evaluation procedure performed by the Office of the Registrar. Credit evaluations will only be commenced after an official transcript has been received directly from the issuing institution. Please note that it is the student's responsibility to arrange for all such transcripts to be forwarded to the Office of the Registrar. |
