Learner Readiness and Success On April 9th, I hosted the Student Ambassador’s Dinner for 166 students and their mentors. The

event recognizes students who have represented Okanagan College at non-athletic competitions and events such as business case competitions, Skills Canada, computer programming events, conferences, and culinary contests.

Okanagan College students captured seven medals at the annual Skills Canada BC Competition held in April in Abbotsford. The medals included two golds, three silvers and three bronze.

OC Enactus students competed in the national championships, held from May 7th to 9th in Vancouver. The team won a first-place finish in the Canadian Western Bank Financial Education category. Students also earned a third-place finish in the Environmental category for a project that was also awarded the Hellmann’s Real Food Rescue Best New Project award.

Education Council – Report to the Board May 29, 2019

Education Council met on May 2, 2019 and approved 8 new courses, 30 course revisions, 1 new program, 1 program revision, 1 Memorandum of Understanding, and 1 Dual Credit Agreement.

PROGRAM REVISIONS Commercial Aviation Diploma Recommended Motion: “BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Okanagan College Board of Governors approve the program revision Commercial Aviation Diploma as recommended by Education Council and as presented.” Program revision:

• Program description • Revision of courses • Program outline

Rationale: In 2017 the Commercial Aviation Program was revised. As part of the revision the AVIA course prerequisites and co-requisites were revised to enforce the cohort requirements of the program. Currently we are proposing the addition of a Commercial Helicopter Pilot Certificate which uses a subset of the AVIA courses. This subset violates some of the prerequisites and co-requisites specified in the AVIA courses. We now have two cohorts using the same AVIA courses. Rather than creating a complicated set of prerequisites and co-requisites within the AVIA courses to deal with two cohort model programs, we are proposing to move the cohort requirements to the program outlines of the Diploma and the Certificate and revise the AVIA course prerequisites and co-requisites to actual course level requirements. Program description: Existing: The Commercial Aviation Diploma (CAD) program is for individuals who are interested in pursuing a career in commercial aviation. The program provides students with university--level business competencies as well as Transport Canada commercial aviation licensing requirements. Graduates are qualified to be employed as pilots with charter companies, regional carriers and private corporations, and upon attaining sufficient flying hours, will also have job opportunities with major airline companies. Graduates may also find employment in other aviation-related careers. The Commercial Aviation diploma program consists of two distinct and separate areas of study - aviation and flight training courses, and university-level academic courses. The flight training is taught at the Southern Interior Flight Centre facility located at the Kelowna International Airport and consists of Transport Canada-prescribed flight training, simulator training, aviation


theory and exams. The academic portion of the program is completed at Okanagan College and consists of eight 3-credit courses taken as part of this program. The Commercial Aviation program is made available through a co-operative partnership between Okanagan College and the Southern Interior Flight Centre (1993) Ltd. The academic portion offered by Okanagan College is subject to normal Okanagan College regulations and tuition fees. The aviation and flight training portion is offered by Southern Interior Flight Centre and is not subject to Okanagan College control and regulations, although all tuition fees for academic courses and flight training are paid to Okanagan College. Okanagan College will maintain records of the student's flight training achievements as provided by Southern Interior Flight Centre on the official Okanagan College transcript. Fees (subject to change): Students with an approved Canadian Private Pilot's Licence can expect to pay approximately $59,000 for tuition and flight training fees. Students without an approved Canadian Private Pilot's Licence can expect to pay an additional fee. Tuition fees for the flying portion are dependent upon the number of hours required to complete the flying and training requirements. These hours will vary according to the skill level of individual students. Please note that students who book an aircraft, simulator or instructor are responsible for related charges and cancellation penalties will apply. Fuel costs will be reimbursed to students at the Kelowna fuel rate set by Southern Interior Flight Centre. Costs above this rate are the student's responsibility. Student Dress and Survival Equipment: Students will be required to wear the prescribed clothing for commercial pilots and should anticipate the costs of purchasing and maintaining their clothing. Prescribed clothing consists of: black pants, socks, dress shoes, and tie plus a white "pilot" shirt. Students should anticipate preparing and maintaining their own personal survival pack to be carried on cross-country flights. Career Opportunities: include pilots with charter companies, regional carriers and private corporations as well as additional job opportunities with major airline companies.

Implementation date: September 2019 Cost: N/A New Programs Commercial Helicopter Pilot Certificate Recommended Motion: “BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Okanagan College Board of Governors approve the new program Commercial Helicopter Pilot Certificate recommended by Education Council and as presented.” Rationale: Commercial operators are looking for pilots who can, in time, assume leadership positions within their organizations. The demand for pilots is shared by both the airplane and helicopter sectors. Having established a leadership position in aviation skills development with both the Commercial Aviation Diploma (CAD) and the Aircraft Maintenance Engineer (AME) M-License, the College has chosen to round out the Aviation educational programs with the addition of a Commercial Helicopter Pilot Certificate (CHPC). The CHPC will complement the objectives of the Commercial Aviation program, allowing students from both airplane and helicopter courses to share many of the ground school courses available while preparing helicopter pilots for the unique challenges of operating helicopters in Canada and throughout the world. Many helicopter pilots will see their career advance towards operational management. The opportunity to engage in a whole range of educational activities, not just in the cockpit but within the classroom, will help graduates enter their careers more confidently. Those pilots who choose a college program will be better equipped with both business skills and aviation training to advance more readily and assist their employers with non-aviation skills as taught through the business courses included in the program. Three new courses, HELI 110 Pilot Skills Lab l, HELI 120 Pilot Skills Lab ll and HELI 130 Pilot Skills Lab lll are being added as the in-flight training. AVIA 114 Flight and Aircraft Systems l is being revised to embrace a broader definition of aircraft to include helicopters and as well as airplanes. Program description: The Commercial Helicopter Pilot Certificate (CHPC) will complement the objectives of the Commercial Aviation program, allowing students from both airplane and helicopter courses to share common ground school courses. This will educate students with the unique challenges of operating helicopters in Canada and internationally. This certificate follows the Transport Canada approved curriculum and shares courses with the Commercial Aviation Diploma. This includes fundamentals and advanced skills required for


commercial helicopter pilots. Students will complete the program with the skills to take the Transport Canada Commercial Helicopter Pilots written and flight tests. Okanagan College continues to incorporate business development skills with aviation course so students can advance their professionalism and work ethic within future career positions. By blending commercial helicopter pilot training skills with the Okanagan School of Business, graduates will enter the industry with more advanced education than that of a general pilot. This certificate will require two full semesters over one year with a total of 40 credits. Graduates that successfully complete the Transport Canada written and in flight exams and accumulate a minimum of 100 hours of flight time, will be ready for employment as commercial helicopter pilots. Admission requirements:

• B.C. secondary school graduation (or its equivalent), or mature student status. • English 12 with minimum 60% or alternatives. • Students graduating from secondary school in or prior to 2012: Principles of

Mathematics 11, or an equivalent Advanced Level Adult Basic Education mathematics course; or a minimum grade of 70% in Introductory Mathematics 11; or a minimum grade of 60% in Applications of Mathematics 11.

• Students entering Grade 10 in or after 2010 and/or completing the new mathematics curriculum: A minimum of 60% in one of Pre-calculus Grade 11, Foundations of Mathematics Grade 11, or Apprenticeship and Workplace Mathematics Grade 11, Workplace Mathematics 11, or the equivalent Advanced Level Adult Basic Education mathematics course.

Implementation date: September 2019 Cost: N/A Memorandum of Understanding Okanagan College and Jamk University of Applied Sciences Recommended Motion: “BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Okanagan College Board of Governors approve the Memorandum of Understanding between Okanagan College and JAMK University of Applied Sciences recommended by Education Council and as presented.”

Background

The Institutions wish to enhance the relationships between them by developing closer academic and cultural ties and exchanges in the areas of education and research. The Institutions wish to


cooperate and work together, on a reciprocal and not-for-profit basis, towards the shared goal of internationalization of higher education.

Goals

This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) sets out the terms and understanding between OC and JAMK to develop and promote a Dual Degree program (“DDP”) at a bachelor level between the undergraduate degree programmes of the Institutions which will award a Bachelor of Business Administration – International Business focus and Bachelor of International Business (“IB”) to those students from each Institution who enroll and complete the DDP. This MOU is being signed to evidence the Institutions' non-binding intentions and acknowledge that no legally binding obligations arise between them as a result of the signing of this MOU. Only those obligations as provided in a separate written agreement that the Institutions may enter into in the future will be binding on the Institutions.

Benefits

The benefits of the DDP will be to:

1. Enhance the competitiveness of the Institutions by adding value to their existing degrees. 2. Increase professional insight, deeper intercultural experience and higher competence for

the involved students and academic staff of the Institutions. 3. Provide DDP Students with the opportunity to gain substantial competencies in the fields

of International Business through education and applied research. 4. DDP Students will study and gain practical experience abroad; learn about the cultures in

the host country and its surrounding countries; and learn the basics of the host country’s native language.

MOU Action Plan

The above goals will be accomplished by the Institutions undertaking the following activities:

1. The Institutions will review each other’s degree programs to develop a personal degree plan for DDP students from each Institution for the purposes of fulfilling their degree requirements.

2. The Institutions shall determine the maximum number of DDP students to be accepted annually.

3. The Institutions shall determine the timing for the academic exchange by DDP students. 4. The Institutions shall determine the criteria for selection of DDP students into the DDP. 5. The Institutions shall determine the criteria for graduation for the DDP students.


DDP Agreement

Once the activities are finalized and agreed upon, the Institutions agree to develop a full agreement for the DDP (the “DDP Agreement”) including details on orientation, immigration, tuition costs, accommodation, academic results, disciplinary action and other relevant items as the Institutions determine as important to the DDP. The intention of the Institutions is to execute the DDP agreement before the end of August, 2019.

Duration & Costs

This MOU may be modified by mutual consent of authorized officials from the Institutions. It shall become effective upon signature by the authorized officials from the Institutions and will remain in effect until modified or terminated by either party by mutual consent. In the absence of mutual agreement by the authorized officials from the Institutions, this MOU shall end on September 30, 2019. Each Institution will be responsible for and bear all of its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with developing this MOU, the DDP and the DDP Agreement. Dual Credit Agreement Early Childhood Education Certificate Program and Okanagan College and School District No. 22 (Vernon) Recommended Motion: “BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Okanagan College Board of Governors approve the dual credit agreement for the Early Childhood Education Certificate Program between Okanagan College and School District No. 22 recommended by Education Council and as presented.” Dated for Reference April 15, 2019. Preamble In order to increase learning and career opportunities for students in the North Okanagan region, Okanagan College at its Vernon Campus (“Okanagan College”) and School District No. 22 (Vernon) (“School District”) agree to collaborate to admit School District No. 22 Grade 12 and other school age students to Okanagan College’s Early Childhood Education Certificate program on a “dual credit” basis. Dual credit programs are defined as programs that will be recognized for credit toward BC Secondary School graduation requirements and Okanagan College certificate requirements. Objectives This agreement seeks to:

• Encourage secondary school students to investigate career programs as part of their Transition Plan;

• Facilitate post-secondary admission for students into the Early Childhood Education Certificate program;

• Foster education initiatives between Okanagan College and the School District; and • Increase successful transition rates from secondary to post-secondary education.


This agreement benefits students by: • Providing dual credit towards secondary graduation and post-secondary training; • Providing reserved seats in the designated Okanagan College programs; • Minimizing time and cost required to complete post-secondary programs; and • Increasing students’ knowledge of post-secondary training.

Terms of agreement I. Program Admission:

• Okanagan College agrees to admit and register School District approved Grade 12 students, and graduated grade 12 students who have not yet turned 19 years of age (“Other SD22 Student(s)”) (collectively SD22 Student(s)) into its Early Childhood Education Certificate program scheduled during the Okanagan College 2019-2020 academic year.

• Okanagan College will hold reserved seats for SD22 Students for the 2019 Fall term in the Early Childhood Education Certificate program June 15, 2019 of the same year. There will be a total of two (2) reserved seat for the program.

• SD22 Students approved by the School District to enroll in this program will complete an Okanagan College application form.

• The parties agree that they will protect SD22 Student information in accordance with the provisions of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act and will obtain such consents as are necessary to carry out their respective obligations in accordance with this agreement.

• SD22 Students will be required to meet all Okanagan College admission requirements for the program as stated in the Okanagan College online Calendar (except for Grade 12 completion) by the program start date.

• School District grade 12 students will not be required to meet the admission

requirement of Grade 12 completion or equivalent by the program start date. School District grade 12 students will be admitted to the Okanagan College ECE certificate program on a conditional basis.

• Grade 12 students applying for the Early Childhood Education Certificate program may be required to attend an interview or orientation session with Okanagan College’s ECE program’s department chairperson or designate as an admission requirement to assess suitability of the SD22 Student before an offer to the program will be made.

II. Fee Assessment: • Okanagan College reserves the right to set fees for all courses and programs. • Once a SD22 Student receives an offer of admission to the Early Childhood

Education Certificate program, the School District will issue a sponsorship letter on behalf of the SD22 Student to Okanagan College.

• The sponsorship letter will indicate the following: the name of SD22 Student, the current high school, the program in which the SD22 Student is registering, and the


type of program fees that the School District will pay (including whether the $200.00 non-refundable offer acceptance tuition deposit will be sponsored).

• Okanagan College will issue an invoice to the School District for the agreed amount of tuition that is to be paid by the School District and such invoice due upon receipt.

• International students will be charged an additional 25% fee above program tuition fees or such other fees as approved by the Okanagan College Board of Governors.

• The School District will inform the SD22 Students that the SD22 Students will be responsible for paying any additional fees not paid by the School District; application fees, all ancillary fees, material fees, and pre-requisite course fees directly to Okanagan College.

• The School District will inform the SD22 Students that the SD22 Students will be responsible for purchasing all required textbooks for their program.

• A School District dual credit student with a disability who requires accommodation will provide the College with the necessary documentation and follow the College’s processes and policies with the Accessibility Services Department. Accommodation supports already provided by the School District will be continued by the School District while the student is at the College, or continue to fund/reimburse the College to allow the College to provide these supports. The College will assume the costs associated with accommodated exams (e.g. extended exams, quiet location). In circumstances where a dual credit student, during his/her course of studies, incurs the need for a medically documented accommodation and such accommodation is deemed necessary by both parties (Okanagan College and School District), any additional costs for the College to provide that accommodation will be reimbursed to the College by the School District. However, if a School District student has graduated high school, is under age 19, enters the College under the dual credit program with the School District paying the student’s tuition and has a disability requiring an accommodation, the College will fund the cost of that accommodation.

III. Student Progress: • Subject to privacy legislation, Okanagan College will correspond with the School

District Career Coordinator regarding SD22 Students’ progress on a regular basis. • Subject to privacy legislation, the School District Career Coordinator will in turn

discuss any pertinent information regarding the SD22 Students with the Early Childhood Education Certificate program’s instructors and/or department chair.

IV. Program Cancellation:

Okanagan College reserves the right to cancel or postpone a program due to low enrolment, unavailability of instructors or facilities, or other circumstances.


• In the event that the Early Childhood Education Certificate program is cancelled where SD22 Students are enrolled, Okanagan College will give as much advance notice to the School District as possible. If this program is cancelled, Okanagan College agrees to refund the School District and the SD22 Student(s) the full amount of any tuition including the offer acceptance tuition deposit paid by the respective parties.

• The School District agrees to prepare an alternative plan of study for all SD22 Students prior to the start of the Early Childhood Education Certificate program. Should this program be cancelled, the School District will be responsible for implementing the alternative plan of study.

• In the event that the Early Childhood Education Certificate program in which a SD22 Student is enrolled is cancelled after it has started, Okanagan College agrees to refund the School District and the SD22 Students for the portion of the program that has not been completed.

V. Withdrawal and Refund Policy:

An SD22 Student who opt to withdraw from the Early Childhood Education Certificate program must receive the written permission of the School District and, if the student is under age of 19, their parent or legal guardian’s permission.

• If a SD22 Student withdraws from the Early Childhood Education Certificate program prior to the start of the program, program tuition fees will be refunded in full to School District with the exception of a $200.00 non-refundable deposit.

• No refunds will be issued for withdrawal requests received after the start date with the exception of compassionate grounds. In such cases a written request for the refund, accompanied by appropriate documentation (e.g. letter from a physician) must be submitted prior to the end of the program. Refunds for compassionate reasons will be assessed according to Okanagan College’s tuition refund policies.

• Under no circumstances will refunds be granted for requests received after the end of the course.

VI. Dual Credit Credential:

School District No. 22 grade 12 students will not receive their Okanagan College credential until he or she has satisfied all Okanagan College program admission requirements, including completion of Grade 12. SD22 Students admitted to the Early Childhood Education Certificate program on a conditional basis will be issued their Okanagan College certificate upon satisfactorily completing all program requirements and admission requirements. As “completion of Grade 12 or equivalent” is an admission requirement to the Early Childhood Education Certificate program, the SD22 Student will receive their Okanagan College certificate according to the following process:

• Upon successful completion of the Okanagan College program requirements, the SD22 Students will request a transcript of their Okanagan College grades.


• Okanagan College will provide interim and final marks to the School District for Secondary School reporting requirements.

• Once the SD22 Student has met all secondary school graduation requirements, they will present their official Secondary School graduation transcript to Okanagan College.

• Once Okanagan College receives this transcript confirming Secondary School graduation (and satisfying the conditional admission to Okanagan College), Okanagan College will issue the certificate to the student.

VII. Agreement Term:

• This agreement is effective April 15, 2019 - August 31, 2020. • Either party may terminate this agreement with 3 months written notice.

REPORT PREPARED AND SUPPORTED BY (include name and title) R. Boris – Director, International Education C. Morcom – Vice President, Employee and Corporate Services A. Coyle – Interim Vice President, Students


International Education Tuition – Briefing Note International tuition rate change proposals for Board review are based on considerations related to institutional sustainability, ensuring tuition rates cover expenses, provide for support services for students, and contribute to the development and maintenance of College infrastructure. The Provincial government does not contribute to the cost of providing education for international students and fees charged to those students are expected to cover the classroom, service and associated costs. Requests to the Board of Governors for approval of increases to international tuition are guided by assessment of internal budget conditions and relevant external market conditions. An assessment of external market conditions means taking into account both what the international market can bear and what other BC institutions charge their international students. (A historical summary of international tuition is attached in a document titled “International Tuition Rate History.”) Tuition rates are set to ensure Okanagan College remains competitive in the marketplace and maintains its position as an institution of choice for international students. The attached chart identifies Okanagan College’s current place in the BC market in terms of international tuition rates. While the positions of a number of institutions on the chart have shifted moderately over the past few years, Okanagan College has maintained its competitive position since this comparison chart was first presented to the Board in 2017. Okanagan College has consistently ranked in the middle among B.C.’s 11 colleges. When comparing the cost of one three-credit academic course, we rank sixth. Our goal is to retain the same approximate market position moving forward. As Okanagan College continues to recruit, it must ensure that it can sustain student support services that will aid in student success and retention. As OC builds its population and increases the integration of international students at all campuses, additional resources will be required throughout the institution to keep up with growing demands, as reflected in the 2019-20 operating budget. To meet the College’s goals of program sustainability, support service development and infrastructure contribution expectations, and recognizing the international student recruitment cycle and the principle of being respectful of prospective international student budgetary planning, a three per cent increase for international tuition is being proposed for implementation in fall 2020. The combination of government grant increases to cover the costs of general wage increases (GWI) and increased domestic tuition yields approximately three per cent in additional revenue per year (?) for Okanagan College. A balanced approach to determining international student tuition points to three per cent as an appropriate increase for 2020-2021 to ensure delivery of appropriate support services and to cover increased costs of program delivery.

REPORT TITLE Line of Credit Increase DATE May 14, 2019 BACKGROUND INFORMATION For example: Purpose History Other relevant information In the past, the Board annually approved the operating line of credit of $1 million with TD Canada Trust at an interest rate of prime minus 0.5%. As of May 7, 2019 Canada’s prime rate of interest is 3.95%. The need to increase the short term line of credit to $2.5 million is reflective of the growth of Okanagan College and is the amount that would be needed to bridge a payroll run for the College. The College will provide an annual report to the Committee indicating the amount used and the current balance. Okanagan College has not needed to access the line of credit in past years but has it in place to mitigate any potential risks. ACTION REQUIRED For example: For consultation For information For approval (including resolution; see language below) For approval. Proposed Resolution: “BE IT RESOLVED THAT the Board of Governors, approve a short term line of credit with TD Canada Trust in the amount of $2.5 million as recommended by the Finance, Audit and Risk Review Committee.”
