STUDENT LIFE & SUPPORT SERVICES

1. Attendance Policy

A minimum of eighty per cent (80%) attendance at classroom sessions for each course is

required of participants for successful completion of the programme and graduation. Students

are contacted once they have missed a two (2) classes and this serves as a warning that they

cannot miss any more classes. CREDI will always take emergency situations such as illness or a

death in the family into consideration. This means that such absence may not count towards

total attendance requirements but does not exempt the student from repeating the specific

course. A student failing to attend 80% of course sessions in any module/course will be required

to repeat this module/course before receiving his/her certification. A minimum of 80%

attendance is also a GATE requirement.

Any student not meeting this requirement will receive a grade F and will be required to repeat the course. In this case, the student assumes responsibility for the tuition fees for the course.

Attendance at the “CREDItable Conversations” sessions and other symposia is mandatory for

B.Ed. students and will be counted as dissertation tutorial sessions where relevant.

2. Grading System

For the programmes offered directly by CREDI, students will be awarded a First Class, Upper

Second Class, Lower Second Class or Pass, depending on their GPA. Student GPA is calculated

through graded assessments throughout the course. Assessments are graded as follows:

CREDI will adhere to the following grading scheme:

A+ = 86-100

A = 75-85

A- = 70-74

B+ = 65-69

B = 60-64

B- = 55-59

C = 50-54

D = 40-49

E = 35-39

Fail = 34 and below (redo course)

http://i-endure.org/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/red_cross1.jpg

11


2016

Students achieving a mark of 35 – 39% on any assignment will be required to redo/re-submit the

examination/assignment within two (2) weeks of receiving the grade and achieve at least a pass,

before they are credited with a grade for the course. Please note, this does not apply to late

submissions.

N. B.

Students failing to achieve a minimum mark of 34% overall for a course, will be required to

repeat the entire course before they can be awarded certification.

All assignments will be Second Marked on the basis of a previously agreed upon rubric. The

second marker will then communicate with the first marker in order to arrive at a final

mark/grade. If there is a significant difference between marks awarded by first and second

markers, a moderator would be appointed to negotiate and arrive at a final mark/grade. If there

is agreement between first and second markers with respect to the final mark and grade for each

script, then that final mark/grade would be forwarded within two (2) weeks to Examinations

and Records Department.

Lecturers should not communicate marks or grades to students. Such marks or grades will only

be communicated by the Student Affairs Department, Music Administration Department for

Music Students or Catholic Bible Institute for Bible Study Students. Should a student desire a

further query on their grade, then he/she should apply for such on the stipulated Query Form

obtainable only from the Student Affairs Department. No student will be allowed to re-do an

assignment following the receipt of a grade on the previously submitted assignment.

3. Issuing of Certificates

The CREDI B.Ed. with Honours will issue certificates indicating:

First Class Honours (GPA of 3.7 and above)

Upper Second Class (GPA of 3.5 - 3.69)

Lower Second Class (GPA of 3.0 - 3.49)

Pass

For the PRACTICUM, only students receiving an overall grade of A+ or A in all three (3) phases

of the Practicum – PASS with Distinction will be indicated on the certificate. More information

on the Practicum can be found in the CREDI Practicum Handbook.

12


2016

4. Assessment of Courses

Assessments will take the form of written assignments, individual and group work

presentations and in-house tests up to three hours in duration. Where courses require papers to

be written, these must be submitted to the Student Affairs Department, Music Administration

or Catholic Bible Institute by the deadline date for marking.

All students must ensure that they are provided with a receipt indicating the submission of the

assignment.

Music students: Assignments should be submitted to the Office of Music Administration.

Students are also required to sit external music theory exams with the Associated Board of the

Royal School of Music (ABRSM).

5. Assignment Format

Please ensure that all assignments submitted follow these guidelines:

i. Use APA format for all assignments;

ii. Use standard 8½ x 11 white paper;

2016

6. Submission of Assignments

All assignments must be handed in soft copy by 12 midnight on the said date. Hard copies are to

be handed-in, in duplicate, to facilitate the Second marking Process by 4:00 p.m. on the same

day on the date prescribed. Assignments not handed-in in duplicate will not be accepted.

7. Late Submission

Late submission will be treated as absence from a scheduled examination. Late submission will

be subjected to a 2% per day (or part thereof) deduction of the total percentage (%) gained for

the course. No final assignment will be accepted after five (5) working days past the deadline. A

student who is unable to submit their final assignment due to illness or a verifiable emergency

must contact the Registrar no later than three (3) working days after the due date to make new

arrangements for the submission of the final assignment. The verifiable emergency must be

stated in writing and a medical certificate must be tendered to support the claim of illness. Late

submissions due to verifiable emergencies will not be downgraded.

Each student submitting final assignments should receive a receipt from the Student Affairs

Department, Music Administration or Catholic Bible Institute as proof of having submitted the

final assignment.

A student who has met the attendance requirement but fails to submit their assignment within

the late submission period will receive a Grade F for the course if no medical certificate is

submitted. The student will be required to repeat the course the next time it is scheduled and

will be responsible for payment.

Granting of any extension will be dealt with on a case by case basis at the discretion of CREDI’s

Administration.

8. Examinations Policy

The final mark is determined by the proportion allocated to course marks and that of the final

exam/assignment.

The schedule and format of the final examination(s) shall be made known to the student no later

than the end of the second session of the course(s) and if changed subsequently, will be

communicated to all affected students prior to the final examination(s).

15


2016

Students must successfully complete ALL assessment activities within a course, including

Portfolios, in order to pass the course.

The submission deadline will be that indicated by the course facilitator/tutor.

There will be no more than two (2) examinations per student scheduled for any one day.

Examination Location Students should normally sit examinations at the campus where they attend classes for the unit

being examined. If special arrangements are required to enable a student to sit the examination

at an alternative venue, the student will be required to pay a prescribed fee to defray expenses

incurred.

Supplemental Examinations A candidate who, through illness or other exceptional cause beyond the candidate’s control, is

unable to attend an examination is required to lodge with the Registrar, not later than five (5)

working days before the day of the examination, a written application for special consideration.

Such exceptional causes may include personal emergency, or the student’s required

participation in special events approved as exceptions by CREDI’s Administration.

Any application for a supplemental examination must be supported by original appropriate

documentary evidence. The authenticity of documentary evidence may be confirmed with the

named provider.

Where the application is approved, the written notification for the supplemental examination

will include the details of the examination day, date, time and location. In cases where an

application is submitted prior to the examination and the application is refused, every effort will

be made to contact the student prior to the scheduled examination.

Marks from prior coursework will not be carried over where a supplemental examination is

required. A supplemental examination is therefore worth one hundred per cent (100%) of the

course marks and may be taken no more than once (within six (6) weeks after the original

scheduled examination). If the student is again unable to undertake the examination or

assessment, further deferral will not be granted and the facilitator will be required to provide a

final result for the course. If the student is able to provide evidence of continuing exceptional

circumstances, the Registrar may recommend that the student's enrolment in the relevant unit

be cancelled. The student will be required to repeat the course the next time it is scheduled and

will be responsible for payment.

16


2016

Examination Room The Registrar has responsibility for the conduct of examinations with the assistance of

invigilator(s). The invigilator(s) may require any person present in the examination room to:

Provide an ID card or other evidence to confirm his/her identity and eligibility to be in

the examination room;

Answer any question relating to that person’s behaviour while in the examination room;

Leave an examination room if an invigilator considers that a candidate’s behaviour, dress

or appearance is such as to disturb or distract any other candidate;

Surrender any material, which the invigilator considers to be unauthorised.

Examinations should begin promptly at the scheduled hour and should not continue beyond

a maximum of three hours.

Late Arrival Candidates who arrive within the first 30 minutes after examination start time will be permitted

to undertake the examination but will not be allowed additional time.

Candidates who arrive more than 30 minutes after the examination start time will not be

permitted to write the examination and would have been deemed absent. The candidate will be

allowed to sit the supplemental examination at a later date but will not benefit from course

marks. (see Supplemental Policy).

Identification Candidates must produce their student identification (ID) card on demand at each examination.

It must be displayed prominently on the desk during the examination. If the student does not

have an ID card in his/her possession, an alternative photographic identification, such as a

driving licence or passport, may be used. If the student has no photographic identification in

his/her possession, he/she will adhere to the procedures prescribed by the invigilator. Failure to

provide suitable identification during an examination may result in suspension of access to

course results and academic transcripts, until identification requirements are met.

Attendance Candidates must sign an attendance register at every examination upon arrival and departure.

Materials Allowed Into Examination Room Under special circumstances, CREDI allows for the use of materials in exams by the students.

Where materials are allowed into Examination Rooms (e.g. as in the case of Open Book

Examinations) it will be limited to those which are specified or pre-approved by the Facilitator.

17


2016

In such instances the Invigilator or assigned person shall inspect the materials to ensure

compliance with what has been authorized.

Mobile Phones Mobile telephones are not permitted in any examination room.

Breach Of Policy CREDI recognises that students have rights and responsibilities and students are expected to

exercise them with due diligence.

An invigilator may immediately expel from the examination room any candidate who commits

an infringement of this policy and its supporting procedures.

An invigilator will report any breach of this policy to the Registrar, who will take the necessary

action. Should the student be disqualified he/she will be required to repeat the said course and

will be responsible for the costs incurred. Any such allegation shall be investigated and resolved

in accordance with the Student Policies.

9. Plagiarism

Plagiarism is the act of stealing or passing off the ideas or words of another as one's own, or

using another’s work without crediting the source.

If any student or group of students is suspected of plagiarism the circumstances will be reported

to the Registrar. The Registrar will refer the matter to the Internal Examinations Committee. If

the Committee so decides, the student may be invited to the meeting.

If the student is found guilty of plagiarism, the Committee shall disqualify the student from the

examination in the course covered and the student will have been considered to have failed the

course and may also be disqualified from further course sittings for any period of time

determined by the Committee.

Students will be given some work as group work. All group work should bear the Student ID#’s

of all groups members and utilise proper referencing of material.

For assignments not considered group work students must produce and submit individual and

original work. Assignments must bear the Student ID# and contain appropriate referencing.

18


2016

10. Academic Queries

Queries would only be considered once the required information is included on the appropriate

form obtainable from Student Affairs or authorised Site Coordinator only and within the

stipulated timeframe.

The following procedure should be observed by any undergraduate student who wishes

clarification of his/her academic performance evaluation:

Undergraduate I. The student may lodge an appeal with the Registrar – Student Affairs Department no

earlier than two (2) weeks and not later than four (4) weeks after receipt of the

grade(s). No queries will be accepted after this period.

II. Where a review is deemed necessary, an advance fee of TT$300.00 must be paid by the

student and the script will be submitted to a third marker. If the stipulated fee is not

paid within the two (2) weeks’ timeframe, the query will be considered null and void.

III. The query is handed to academic department for follow-up with Lecturer.

IV. The student will receive feedback within three (3) weeks of lodging a query.

V. If the query results in a grade change the student will receive a full refund of the query

fee.

Postgraduate Postgraduate students will submit their academic queries to the relevant institution

according to that institution’s standard procedures. Additionally, the student will

submit his/her query to the Postgraduate Coordinator.

11. Withdrawal, Deferral and Leave Of Absence

Students who do not attend the first six (6) classes of their courses after registration are

required to officially submit in writing a deferral form with supporting verifiable documents

(medical etc.) for so doing. Failure to comply would result in an “I” (Incomplete) being reflected

on the student’s transcript. Should GATE Funding be denied, the student would be required to

pay for missing courses before being allowed to continue with the programme.

Withdrawal

Withdrawal can be classified as

i. Student Withdrawal or

ii. Institutional Request for Withdrawal of the student

19


2016

Withdrawal is defined as completely removing oneself or being asked to remove oneself from the

programme. It is therefore classified as Student Withdrawal or Institutional Request for

Student to withdraw from enrolment from all classes at CREDI.

Student Withdrawal can occur under the following conditions:

Medical grounds where the student realises that he/she definitely cannot continue for

health reasons

Inability to meet financial obligations for the programme for the year under review

should funding be denied by GATE

Institutional Request for Student to withdraw

GPA (Grade Point Average) is 1.7 or less.

Severe indiscipline (verbal and non-verbal abuse; plagiarism among others in the Code of

Conduct Policy).

Is not satisfactorily meeting his/ her financial obligations.

Does not have satisfactory physical or mental health as supported by a medical report.

The student should first notify CREDI of his/her intention to withdraw, and subsequently the

Ministry of Education if the student is receiving GATE funding. Students who have changed

their names should inform Student Affairs and GATE administration (with supporting and

verifiable documents).

Deferral

Deferral is defined as the postponing of the completion of a course until later in the programme.

A student must defer a course at CREDI by the second session of the course. The student should

notify the relevant facilitator of the reason for the deferral and get authorization from CREDI to

proceed.

Students who are seeking deferral from a course MUST complete the CREDI Course Deferral

Form and submit it to the Registrar, Student Affairs at the same time.

Deferrals later than the given deadline will result in the maintenance of a ‘Deferred” against that

particular course on the student’s records until he/she has completed the course later in the

programme. Non-submission of a deferral form within the specified timeframe will result in an

automatic “F” grade reflected on the student’s transcript.

Deferrals must not exceed more than three (3) months. A second deferral in any academic year

will require an application for a Leave of Absence.

20


2016

Leave of Absence

A student may be granted a Leave of Absence from a programme by the CREDI administration

for a period of no more than one (1) year.

Application for Leave

The following procedure applies to the authorising of all applications for leave:

Students must, within the specified timeframe:

Collect the relevant form at the Registrar’s Office or download it at

www.credi.edu.tt;

Return the completed form with the relevant supporting evidential documents to the

Registrar’s Office and clear any outstanding charges or holds that may prevent their

return at a later date or prevent the release of their academic records;

The student’s records will be maintained;

The Registrar’s Office will sign the request for the Leave of Absence Form for the

stipulated period of not more than one (1) year clearly stating that he/she has been

granted a leave of absence from the programme;

In order to complete the relevant course(s) and pre-requisites, students will be

expected to make their own re-registration and timetabling arrangements based on

CREDI’s existing schedules.

12. Scheduling Of Classes

CREDI regards a minimum of ten (10) students as the basis for re-scheduling of courses. Re-

scheduling of make-up courses can only be done on weekdays in the afternoon and CREDI is the

sole authority to re-schedule courses.

Costs for re-scheduling are subject to change. Where applicable, appropriate notification will be

provided. The Student may contact the Registrar - Student Affairs for further details.

http://www.credi.edu.tt/

21


2016

13. Course Materials

CREDI will make every effort to ensure availability of all recommended textbooks and course

material. Where possible, softcopies will be supplied to avoid delays in students getting course

materials on time. Students however, will be required to provide their individual hard copies.

Prints will only be provided at the request of instructing facilitators.

14. Requests for Transcripts

COURSE COURSE DESCRIPTION

GFDE 513 Teaching as Intentional

Learning

This course provides an online environment for aspiring teachers,

practicing teachers and teacher educators to examine the operation of

relevant theory and research in effective educational practice. Authentic

educational problems are framed and solutions to those problems are

proposed and tested.

38


2016

GREV 525 Educational Research

Literacy

This course is designed to develop the skills and knowledge base necessary

for the conceptual understanding of research presented in the literature. By

doing so, the course provides the student with the foundational skills and

knowledge to become a critical reader of research.

GFDE 510 Theories of the

Teaching/Learning Process

This course provides opportunities to analyse assumptions about knowing,

teaching, and learning; to study theories of human learning and their

relationships to motivation, development, and teaching; and to reflect on

and project one’s own teaching and learning practice based on theoretically

sound principles.

GFDE 580 Action Research Seminar This seminar focuses on applying the methods by which action research

(also known as teaching inquiry or practitioner research) can be planned

and carried out to a specific learning agenda that is determined by each

candidate.

GFDE 503 Multicultural Education This course examines principles of adapting school programmes and

materials to the interests of a pluralistic society. It addresses specific

approaches for implementing a curriculum responsive to diverse and multi-

ethnic populations incorporating cultural, racial, socio-economic, gender

and individual differences.

GFDE 737 Community and Community

Relations

This course examines the concepts of school leadership that promote and

maintain community relationships that support and advance student

learning and achievement.

CLASSROOM ASSESSMENT CONCENTRATION

GPSY 511 Psychology of Learning This course examines several theoretical mechanisms of learning and

cognitive processing. The goal of the course is to establish the practical

utility of operant conditioning theory, social learning theory and

information processing theory.

GFDE 816

Alternative Strategies in

Classroom Assessment

This course examines the role of formative assessment practices on teach

quality and student learning and achievement. Specifically it examines six

high impact elements of the formative assessment process: Shared learning

targets, effective feedback, student goal-setting, student self-assessment,

effective teacher questioning and engaging students in asking effective

questions.

GFDE 533

Curriculum and Methods

This course examines instructional planning with a focus on using effective

instructional strategies to promote student learning and achievement.

39


2016

GFDE 805 Keys to Motivation

This course focuses on the role that formative assessment plays in helping

students generate motivation to learn. Specifically the course examines the

connections between effective classroom assessment and self-efficacy,

attributions, self-regulation, goal-driven behaviour and other forms of

intrinsic motivation. The key is helping teachers learn to foster and develop

motivation in their students.

CURRICULUM AND INSTRUCTION CONCENTRATION

GADS 532 Curriculum Development This course examines the nature of curriculum; philosophical conflicts and

historical perspective; developing goals and objectives; instructional modes

and the learner and curriculum mapping.

GADS 547 Advanced Curriculum This course concentrates on curriculum research; needs assessment;

curriculum management; implementation; analysis of test data; curriculum

models.

GFDE 816 Alternative Strategies in

Classroom Assessment

This course examines the role of formative assessment practices on

teaching quality and student learning and achievement. Specifically it

examines six high impact elements of the formative assessment process:

Shared learning targets, effective feedback, student goal-setting, student

self-assessment, effective teacher questioning and engaging students in

asking effective questions.

GFDE 520 Motivation in Education This course is an opportunity to study theories and research on student

motivation. The course examines the critical role that motivation plays in

human learning by applying current theories and research in motivation to

authentic issues of concern in educational settings. Using motivational

theories as lenses through which to consider student motivation from

multiple perspectives, the course encourages analysis of beliefs about

motivation to encourage the design of sound theoretically-based

motivational practices.

MEASUREMENT AND EVALUATION CONCENTRATION

GFDE 504 Statistics in Behavioural

Research

This course emphasises the skills necessary for critical analysis of

quantitative research in the behavioural sciences. The major goal is to

understand and interpret the statistical analyses used to describe

distributions and to test hypotheses that are commonly used in empirical

studies employing quantitative data.

GREV 510 Statistics I This course is a study of basic statistical concepts. Content includes

descriptive statistics correlation, t-test, chi-square and the use of computer

40


2016

programmes for data analysis.

GREV 514 Introduction to Qualitative

Methods

This course is a study of the philosophical and methodological foundations

of qualitative inquiry combined with practical experience gained from

conducting a project. Content includes theoretical principles and models,

data collection and interpretation and examining qualitative research

studies.

GFDE 502 Action Research in

Education

This course is designed for classroom teachers. Action research is scholarly

investigation conducted by practitioners for the purpose of informing their

own practice. For education, this means research conducted by teachers

with the intent of taking some action that will enhance instruction and,

consequently, student learning. This course also introduces issues of

classroom data collection and interpretation.
