COBERTURA VEGETAL – PIURA (MAPA DE COBERTURA VEGETAL)

Academic Year: For full-time students, the period from September to May. The academic year is divided into two terms, Fall Term and Winter term. For the purposes of determining academic standing the Summer term is not normally considered to make up the academic year.

Audit: Courses that are taken without the purpose of earning

academic credit. A student must formally register to audit a course at the beginning of the term, subject to the permission of the instructor and the Department Head and will not normally be allowed to change to regular course status after registration deadlines have passed. The level of participation of auditing students will be determined by the instructor and will not normally include submission of assignments or writing exams. Audited courses will be annotated by the code “AU” on the transcript.

Board Pass: Upon recommendation of the department responsible for the Programme of Study, a Board Pass will normally be awarded to an engineering student in their final year of study for a final year course in which the course mark is less than 50% provided that:

(i) the student’s overall final year average exceeds fifty

per cent by at least as much as the course mark is less than fifty per cent,

(ii) the course mark is not less than forty per cent,

(iii) not more than one course has been failed in the final year; and

(iv) the failed course is not required to complete the core curriculum.

The mark will be recorded with the annotation “Board Pass” (BP).

knowledge of candidates in the subject matter of a particular course, the purpose of which is to establish a basis for the granting of credit for the course, without the normal requirements for attending the course and completing the usual course requirements. Course credits earned through successful passing of a Challenge Examination will be annotated as “CG” (Credit Granted) on the transcript.

Concentration: A field of study within a Programme of

Study. A concentration will be either Major or Minor depending on the number of courses completed in the field of study.

Core Curriculum of RMC: Courses RMC students are

required to take in order to prepare them to take on positions of leadership within the Canadian Forces.

Course: A unit of study designated by a code and number in

the Calendar.

Course Grade: The grade assigned on completion of the

course, based on assignments, practical work, examinations and/or other course requirements as determined by the course instructor.

Credit: The equivalent, for all academic programmes, of a

course consisting of about 39 hours of lectures, normally delivered in one term.

Credit Granted: Credit granted based on challenge exams,

non-university courses or other types of experience which is assessed as duplicating RMC academic requirements. Credits granted on this basis are annotated on the transcript with the code “CG”.

Elective: A course belonging to another concentration a

student may take to complete the minimum requirements of a Programme of Study.

Exemption: Granted when a student is not required to complete a Mandatory course within a Programme of Study because of prior exposure to related material. An exemption does not earn academic credit, but will enable the student to replace the exempted course with another elective course in order to earn sufficient credits to satisfy degree requirements. The transcript is marked with the code “EXE”.

Extra course: A course which exceeds the requirements of

the Programme of Study and which is taken only with the special permission of the Dean responsible for the

obtained in Extra Courses are counted in the student’s term and cumulative averages, and when the Extra Course is within the field of study or concentration, the grade obtained in that course is taken into account with respect to the award of distinctions.

Failure of a Course: A student is deemed to have failed a

course if the student fails the normal requirements for a course and either does not successfully pass the supplemental examination for that course, is not permitted or chooses not to write the supplemental examination.

Full Time Undergraduate Students: Those students

registered in at least 80% of the credits of the full year programme for their Programme of Study once the deadline for course withdrawals has expired. Except for First Year, a full time student may, with the permission of the responsible department head, enrol in a maximum of one credit per term over the normal course load for the Programme of Study. Students wishing to enrol in more than one extra credit per term beyond the normal programme must first obtain permission of the responsible Dean. Minimum and maximum credits for full time status are presented in Table D-1.

Interest Only Students: Students who enrol in courses

without being admitted into a Programme of Study at RMC or another university. Normally “Interest Only” students may enrol in a maximum of two credits in a given term, and may not complete more than a total of four credits before being required to seek admission into a Programme of Study.

Mandatory Course: A specific course which a student must

pass, or otherwise receive credit, in order to complete a Programme of Study.

Optional Courses: Courses within a concentration that are

not Mandatory Courses.

Part-Time Undergraduate Students: Students who are registered in less than 80% of the credits of the full year programme for their Programme of Study. A Part-Time Student may take a maximum course load of 3 credits in any one term and must complete at least one course every two years to remain registered in a Programme of Study.

Pass: A student is deemed to have passed a course if the

student completes all requirements for that course to the satisfaction of the instructor.

for the completion of a particular degree or certificate.

Supplemental Examination: An examination or other form

of academic evaluation taken by students who have not passed a course, in order to receive credit for the course.

Term Average: The student’s weighted average calculated at

the end of any academic term based on all courses completed in that term plus the marks of all full-year courses which are in progress at that point.

Transfer Credits: Credits for work done at an accredited

institution; transfer credits may be granted for university courses that are assessed as duplicating RMC academic requirements, provided that marks of C- or higher have been earned and an overall satisfactory academic record has been maintained. The minimum mark of C- is to be waived in cases where RMC has entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with another university or a consortium of universities requiring the parties to reciprocally recognize the passing grade in each other’s courses, under conditions stipulated in the Memorandum. Course requirements that have been satisfied through Transfer Credit are annotated on the transcript with the code “TC”.

at another university who are authorized by their home university to take courses at RMC. Except where a formal exchange agreement exists, a Visiting Student must provide a letter of permission from the home university in order to be approved for registration in an RMC course.
