A listing of important academic dates are available on our website for the following academic year(s):

2010/2011

2011/2012

Laurier Brantford academic advisors offer advice and counsel on all of the programs of study and coach students through learning challenges and opportunities.  The goals of our advising program are aligned with the goals of our core program, Contemporary Studies, and the ethos of our campus as a whole.

Contact Information:
Laurier Brantford Academic Advising
E| lbacademicadvising@wlu.ca
P| 519.756.8228 ext. 5849

Although academic advising is available within the Dean's office, it is solely the responsibility of students to ensure that they are properly registered and meet course requirements and the requirements of the program for which they are registered. All students should review the relevant program requirements and course information carefully.

The Accessible Learning Centre provides academic support services to students with disabilities. Students with disabilities are accommodated to give them an equal opportunity to succeed academically and to participate fully in the university experience. It is the student’s responsibility to make initial contact with the Accessible Learning Centre to identify individual needs and to request services as well as examinations where applicable. Staff work closely with students while they liaise with faculty, campus and community professionals to determine and implement effective and appropriate academic supports to enhance student success.

Key Services and Supports
•    Conducts preliminary screening for students without documentation who suspect they have a learning disability
•    Liaises with faculty regarding specific student disability-related issues
•    Establishes appropriate in-class and examination accommodations
•    Transcribes print materials into e-text, Braille or other alternate formats
•    Makes referrals to resource staff on and off campus

Angel Evans will contact you in advance when registered students are writing tests/exams with Accessible Learning. Depending on the type of accommodations or exam format, students may write some tests/exams with the class.

Please submit a copy of your exam (electronic or hard copy in a sealed and labeled envelope) 3 days in advance of the examination date, or earlier if possible.  The deadline is important to ensure that accommodations are made for all tests and exams booked through Accessible Learning. (Example: Accommodations may include Braille transcription or audio recordings of entire exams)

Hard copies can be delivered to :
Angel Evans (Educational Support Administrator)
97 Dalhousie, room 211
P| 519.756.8228 ext. 5786

If you choose to submit the exam electronically, please e-mail to: lbALexams@wlu.ca. Final exams will be requested and collected by Sara Neziol.

If your students are unable to submit papers on time in class, they should be advised to slide the paper under your office door. Advise students to keep a copy of any paper they submit to avoid disputes later. DO NOT INSTRUCT STUDENTS TO SUBMIT PAPERS TO ANY ADMINISTRATIVE OFFICE.

If you have assignments to return to your students before or after classes have ended, there are two options:

1.    Set office hours and inform students of the time and location

2.    Return the assignments at the Exam room (after student has finished writing their exam)

When returning papers, please follow FIPPA regulations. (see “Privacy & Access (FIPPA)” for further information)

Normally, work such as assignments or tests, due in the last week of classes will be made known to a class at the beginning of the term. In no case, after the first half of the term, shall the assignment of such work first be made known to a class. To ensure that the workload of students is not unreasonable in the last week of classes, the university sets the following limits for the final week of regularly scheduled classes of each term:

1. Assignments, projects, presentations and other evaluated work, to a maximum worth of 50 percent of the total marks available in the course, may be due for submission or presentation during the last week;

2. In a course or section with a final examination scheduled in the examination period, an in-class test or examination worth no more than 20 percent of the total marks available in the course may be administered during the last week of classes;

3. In a course or section that does not have a final examination scheduled in the examination period, no tests or examinations may be administered during the last week of classes, excepting only small quizzes and the like, worth no more than 10 percent that are part of a weekly or biweekly series of such items.

The At Risk Student Reporting Form is designed to:

•    identify early in the academic year students who may be at risk of academic difficulty or failure

•    intervene with measures that are tailored to each individual student's situation.

Once a student is identified using the form, the Academic Advisor’s in the Laurier Brantford Dean’s Office will:

•    contact the student,

•    work with the student to identify factors contributing to his or her academic difficulties,

•    in collaboration with appropriate academic and student services support personnel, develop a plan to help the student achieve his or her academic goals.

To access the At Risk Student Reporting Form, please click here. This section is restricted to staff and faculty. Please enter your Novell login and password to access the early alert form.

For information regarding Campus closures, please see www.laurierbrantford.ca.

Severe Weather/Storm Closing Policy: The decision to close the Brantford campus will be made by the principal/vice-president or designate. The office of the principal/vice-president will notify the president's office, Mohawk College, and Nipissing University whenever the Brantford campus closes. Buildings in Kitchener will close whenever the Waterloo campus closes.

Notifications of such a closure will be communicated by 7 a.m. in the following ways:

Instructors are required to complete an online form at the beginning of each term to provide Registrarial Services with exam information.  All instructors must complete the form regardless if a final exam is a component of their course.  Instructors with no final exam requirement can indicate this information on the form.  The form is available here.

Exams will take place Monday to Saturday.  Final exams can be a maximum length of 2.5 hours. Exams will be scheduled at 8:30am, 12:00pm, 3:30pm and 7:00pm.  Instructors will proctor their own exam(s).  You will be notified if your course has qualified for an examination proctor to assist you with your exam(s).

It is University policy to provide us with a copy of your final examination (reference in Article 18.2.4.1 in the F.T. Collective Agreement or 16.1 in the CAS Collective Agreement). It is crucial that we receive your final exam for the following reasons:
-    A copy is needed to plan and organize slip day for students with examination conflicts
-    Accessible Learning requires time to prepare the exam for students registered with their office
-    A copy has proven to be helpful if an instructor is unable to attend the examination, due to unforeseen circumstances.

Further information and required examination documents (e.g. Laurier Brantford Examination Cover Sheet, Presiding Officer Reports and Attendance Sign-in Sheets) will be e-mailed to instructors later on in the term.

Please advise your students of the following:
•    I.D. cards (or one form of government issued photo identification) MUST be presented at every exam.
•    No cell phones, Blackberries or iPods are to be brought into exam rooms.
•    No food or drink except for clear water bottles.

Wilfrid Laurier University exam regulations are available here.

In all cases, students are first asked to approach their instructor with exam conflicts or change of date requests.  As written in the Undergraduate calendar, "the student may apply to the instructor or designate to be allowed to write the exam at an alternate time, ideally during the regularly scheduled examination period, but at the latest not beyond the date by which final grades for the last scheduled exam are to be submitted to the Registrar's Office.”   Many instructors prefer to reschedule their own exam session with the student.  If an agreeable solution cannot be worked out between the student and instructor, the following is in place to assist students:

Slip Day is an exam session for students with exam conflicts for the following reasons:

1.    Three exams within a 24 hour period

2.    Two or more exams scheduled at the exact same time

3.    Campus conflict (students taking courses at the Waterloo and Brantford Campus)

These three reasons are automatically approved by Registrarial Services.  Students must complete the Laurier Brantford Final Examination Conflict Form, available through the Registrarial Services website. 

For reasons outside of those listed above, Slip Day may also be approved through the Dean's Office.  These instances can include such things as serious illness, death in the family, etc.  If the student cannot be accommodated by the Instructor, please direct students to Ruth Cole in the Dean's Office.


If you have a student who has been approved to write on Slip Day from the permission of Registrarial Services or the Dean's Office, you will be copied on the e-mail to the student which notifies them of the date and time they will be writing.

If you have a student who has been approved to write on Slip Day, you will be copied on the e-mail to the student which notifies them of the date and time they will be writing.

Most of our classrooms/lecture theatres are equipped with media consoles.  Floating media carts are available in each building and can be booked when filling out a room booking form with Service Laurier.  Also in the Odeon building, you can use the computer lab to offer hands-on tutorials using the media cart.

For the rooms that contain a full media console you will need to obtain a media key from Linda Cook in Campus Operations. Please remember that media keys open all consoles on both the Waterloo and Brantford Campuses.

On-campus parking is available to all faculty and staff members upon request. There are no designated parking spaces unless a "Reserved" or "Carpool" parking spot has been purchased. Please refer to the campus parking map for designated faculty/staff parking lots. Payment via payroll deduction is available to all faculty and staff members.

Brantford Faculty and Staff parking permits will allow those displaying their pass to park ONLY in the Gold Parking Permit Areas at the Waterloo Campus.

New permits will not be issued to individuals who have outstanding parking fees. The hang-tag must be attached to the rear-view mirror of the vehicle with the permit number clearly visible through the windshield. Vehicles which fail to properly display a valid permit will be ticketed by the City of Brantford.

Faculty and staff permit fees can be viewed via the Service Laurier website.

To accommodate all faculty and staff who wish to have a parking permit, Laurier Brantford has arranged for spots to be made available at the City Parking Garage (50 Icomm Drive). Employees assigned to park at the Parking garage will be given a swipe card to access the lot. As this service is arranged by Laurier Brantford Parking Services, all inquires and transactions will be conducted through Service Laurier Brantford in GRH202.

Faculty and staff who only require a permit for one term or for September to April use only, must return their permit to Service Laurier Brantford once they no longer require a space. Faculty and staff who require full year use do not need to return their permit, simply discard permit upon expiry.

Writing & Study Skills Resource Centre
P| 519.756.8228 ext. 5788

The Writing and Study Skills Resource Centre offers writing, math, and learning support services for students and faculty in a number of ways.  Students can access individual writing, math, or study skills consultations with trained peer mentors or with professional staff, as well as university-wide general workshops and study groups for select courses.  Faculty may request discipline or assignment-specific in-class lectures and workshops from the centre’s professional staff.

We cannot stress enough that we don’t provide quick fixes.  Our goal is to help students learn to be better writers and learners and this takes time.  There is a learning process underway and the more a student comes in, the more we see them put into practice what they’ve learned.  We strive to help students learn to study better, not longer, and to improve their writing and editing skills.  We offer a number of resources and all of our writing, learning, and math handouts are available on our website.  
We also provide specialized support services for specific learning needs including on-line consultation, conversation and academic skills practice for students who are English Language Learners, and an on-going support programme for students who are on academic probation.

KEY SERVICES AND SUPPORTS:
•    One-on-one writing, math and study skills appointments
•    General and discipline-specific writing and learning skills workshops
•    Course-specific facilitated study groups
•    Resource area with handouts, books and access to electronic resources
•    Specialized services for different learning needs
•    In class workshops at faculty request

All Wilfrid Laurier University part-time faculty will have profiles created on the Wilfrid Laurier University website. Faculty are encouraged to update their profiles to contain their contact information, background and any other relevant information. Your profile will be active on the Wilfrid Laurier University website during any term in which you are teaching courses here. If you are not currently teaching a course at Wilfrid Laurier University, your profile will become inactive. This means that it will not be able to be viewed on the WLU website, but the information will continue to be saved behind the scenes. If you teach a course at WLU in the future, your profile will be retrieved and you will only have to update your information - you will not have to start again from scratch.

To update your website profile, please follow the below steps:

Step 1: Logging In

Type www.wlu.ca/admin in to your web browser. Enter your Novell username (i.e., jdoe) and password. When you are logged in, under "Select a Section to Edit", click on "Manage Contacts". Click on your name. The page will take a few seconds to load. Once it is loaded, you will see five tabs near the top of the screen: General Information, Contact Information, Background Information, Expert Information, and Misc.

Step 2: General Information

Some of the fields in this section should populate automatically. Ensure all required fields (those marked with an asterix *) are filled in, including your Job Title. Wilfrid Laurier University recommends that you upload a photograph of yourself in this section. Also, although they are not required fields, please fill in your office location and office hours.  

Step 3: Contact Information

Click on the Contact Information tab. Fill in the required information, including your WLU phone number and email address.

Step 4: Background Information

Click on the Background Information tab. This is where you can give a brief summary of your academic background and a short biography. This is not required, but it is encouraged.

Step 5: Expert Information

Click on the Expert Information tab. This section allows you to enter information about specific languages spoken, areas of expertise and when you are in the news. You can also include a press photo here. For more help on filling this section out, please visit the following link: www.wlu.ca/page.php?grp_id=12000&p=15261.

Step 6: Misc.

Click on the Misc. tab. You can use this section to determine when you last updated your profile, turn the "Laurier Thanks" feature on and off, as well as to reset your profile to the original website defaults (i.e., to erase all information you have ever filled in on your profile).

Step 7: Saving your Changes

Once you have entered all of your information, click on the orange Save button at the bottom of the screen. Hitting save on any of the tabs will return you to the Manage Your Contacts site menu.
