Student Policies + Regulations

Academic policies and regulations dealing with issues related to student performance can be found in the student guide "Emily's A to Z student guide".

Students will receive a print copy during the first week of classes in September.

Protection of Privacy

Due to Protection of Privacy legislation, Emily Carr cannot assist or give student record access to a third party without written permission from the student. A release form can be filled out by the student and will be kept on file in Student Services for the duration of the student's studies, unless otherwise notified in writing.

Grading System

The following is the grading policy and percentage conversion scale approved for use by faculty, and effective September 1998:

A+ 4.33 95-100 Distinguished achievement
A 4.00 90-94 Outstanding achievement
A- 3.67 85-89 Excellent achievement
B+ 3.33 80-84 Very Good achievement
B 3.00 75-79 Commendable achievement
B- 2.67 70-74 Good
C+ 2.33 65-69 Competent
C 2.00 60-64 Satisfactory
C- 1.67 55-59 Pass
D 1.00 50-54 Marginal Pass
F 0.00 0-49 Fail
I Incomplete
W Withdrawal

An incomplete grade may be granted by the faculty member in cases where you are unable to complete course work because of circumstances beyond your own control. Such circumstances may be medical or of a personal nature and you may be required to provide documentary evidence. The Advisor for students with disabilities can provide documentation for clients of that office.

All incomplete grades must include a backup letter grade. Final grades for incompletes must be submitted by the end of the second week of class of the next semester for fall courses and by the last faculty day for spring courses. Failure to complete the course work by the deadline will result in the backup grade being assigned. An extension of an incomplete grade may only be granted by the Dean.

Code of Conduct

The University expects all members of our community to conduct themselves with respect for the rights of others. A student may be suspended or dismissed from the University should he or she violate those rights.

The University makes every attempt to ensure that no student, employee, or guest is discriminated against on the grounds of race, national origin, colour, creed, religious affiliation, age, physical ability, gender, or sexual orientation. If you suspect you are being discriminated against, please consult a counselor or the Dean.

Emily Carr is committed to providing a fair and equitable learning and working environment, free from all forms of harassment as set out in the Human Rights Act.
