Recognition for previous learning is awarded through transfer
credit and prior learning assessment and recognition (PLAR).
Obtaining Prior Learning Assessment and
Transfer credit recognizes learning obtained through formal Recognition (PLAR)
coursework and enables transfer of course credit into your current
program at Medicine Hat College. PLAR recognizes learning Prior learning can be gained through experiences other than

Students who are transferring to Medicine Hat College and
students who wish to transfer to another institution should refer to
the Alberta Transfer Guide. The Transfer Guide lists all the course
and program transfer agreements in effect between
post-secondary institutions in Alberta, Northwest Territories, and
Nunavut. The Transfer Guide, and other transfer information, is
available online at www.transferalberta.ca or may be downloaded
via the Transfer Alberta Mobile app for Android and Apple devices.
Obtaining a Letter of Permission

If you intend to complete a course through another post-secondary
institution while enrolled at Medicine Hat College that you intend to
use for credit towards your program, you will need to obtain
approval from your Program Coordinator or Divisional Dean and
the Registrar. A Letter of Permission form is available from Student
Services and on the website. After you have completed the course,
it is your responsibility to ensure that your transcripts are sent to
Medicine Hat College and that you initiate the process for obtain-
ing transfer credit through the Registrar’s Office.

The Prior Learning Assessment and
Recognition (PLAR) Process
• If a student is interested in pursuing PLAR, the first step
in the process is to contact the Articulation and PLAR
Coordinator at 403.525.2337. Together the student and
Articulation and PLAR Coordinator will discuss the student’s
prior informal and non-formal learning experiences in order
to determine if PLAR is an option as well as discuss the
timelines, requirements, and expectations involved in the
PLAR process.
• If it is determined that PLAR may be a possibility for

the student, the Articulation and PLAR Coordinator will
contact the appropriate Program Coordinator to identify the
appropriate PLAR Assessor. Once the appropriate PLAR
Assessor is identified, the Articulation and PLAR Coordinator
will discuss the PLAR with the Assessor in order to ensure
that, at the initial meeting, adequate rationale to support and
inform the PLAR was collected.
• The Articulation and PLAR Coordinator will arrange a meeting

(either in-person, on the telephone, or virtually) between
the PLAR Assessor and student where they will discuss
the assessment process, determine the timelines for all
assessments, as well as further steps required in order for the
assessment to be completed. It is also at this time that the
PLAR application is completed by both the student and the
Assessor and then submitted to the Articulation and PLAR
Coordinator.
• The Articulation and PLAR Coordinator then ensures the

appropriate signatures are obtained, the registration process
completed, and the appropriate fees assessed. Both the
PLAR Assessor and the student will be notified once this is
completed; the student will be required to pay the PLAR fees
by the deadline outlined in the Academic Schedule.
• Upon completion of the PLAR, the Assessor will assign a

grade.
• Students are only permitted one attempt at PLAR for a

specific course.
• For further details regarding PLAR, please refer to the Policy

and Procedures section of the Medicine Hat College website.

Transferring to Other Institutions
Medicine Hat College makes every effort to ensure your smooth

transfer to Alberta universities. This is facilitated through the
activities of the Alberta Council of Admissions and Transfer, which
coordinates transfer between colleges and universities and pub-
lishes the Alberta Transfer Guide each year which is available on
the web at www.transferalberta.ca. If you have questions about the
transfer of courses, please consult an Academic Advisor on either
the Medicine Hat or Brooks campuses. If you have questions
about the suitability of courses for the program and the institution
to which you are intending to transfer, you should contact an
Academic Advisor at that institution to discuss your course
selections. It is important to note that transfer of courses may be
affected if you achieve less than the overall GPA or course grade
required for transfer.
Further, if you change majors or programs or institutions to which

you intend to transfer, these types of changes may affect the num-
ber of courses for which you receive transfer credit.
Grades Required for Transfer of Courses

Receiving colleges and universities may accept transfer credit for
only those courses in which you have achieved an acceptable
grade; at many institutions the grade required is a C- or higher.
Please check with the specific institution regarding their transfer
credit policy.
Admission as a Transfer Student to Other Institutions

Be sure to consult with the institution to which you are seeking
transfer admission regarding transfer eligibility, required number
of university transfer courses/credits, minimum GPA and other
transfer requirements.
As a Medicine Hat College student, you do not have a guaranteed

place in quota programs or high demand programs at Alberta
universities. Selection for quota and high demand programs is
based on academic performance regardless of institutional origin.
The most academically qualified students are selected for limited
enrolment and high demand programs and therefore, the minimum
GPA required for admission may not be sufficient for admission.
For further information, please consult with a Medicine Hat College
Academic Advisor and an Academic Advisor at the institution to
which you are seeking admission.
NOTE: It is the responsibility of each student to ensure that their

courses meet any prerequisite, scheduling or other requirements
for programs at Medicine Hat College. Information regarding trans-
fer and transfer credit for enrolment at other institutions is subject
to change without notification and is also the responsibility of the
student. Please refer to the latest edition of the Alberta Transfer
Guide for the most current information at www.transferalberta.ca.
After You Have Transferred

Medicine Hat College is available to support your transfer even
after you are no longer attending classes. Course outlines, tran-
scripts and information (in support of transfer issues) are available
in Student Services. Please consult the Articulation and
PLAR Coordinator at 403.525.2337 for additional information.

Grade Appeal Process
Informal Grade Appeal Process
1) You receive an assignment, examination, or final grade that you wish to dispute. You must contact
your instructor for clarification within 10 working days of receiving the grade. You are responsible for
monitoring posted final grades.
2) If you are not satisfied with the clarification provided by the instructor, or if you have made verifiable
attempts through the division office to meet with the instructor without success, you may contact the
dean.
3) Put your concerns in writing to the dean responsible for the course within 20 working days of
receiving the assignment or grade. You may ask the Students’ Association to help you with the
appeal process.
4) The dean will meet individually with you and the instructor (and a Students’ Association
representative and a Faculty Association representative, if applicable), to review all relevant graded
work, and documentation, and the pertinent calculations that have contributed to the assigned
grade. The dean will respond to you within five working days of the meeting and indicate whether or
not consensus has been achieved in relation to the grade assignment.
Most appeals are resolved at this level.
Formal Grade Appeal Process
1) Should you feel the matter has not been resolved, you may continue the appeal by submitting the
grade appeal form (available at the Registrar’s Office) within 10 working days of the date of the
dean’s response to you. A fee of $25.00 will be charged. (This fee will be refunded if the appeal is
successful).
2) The Registrar will forward the appeal form and all other written documentation, to the office of the
Vice-President, Academic.
3) The Vice President, Academic or designate will form an Appeal Committee composed of a student
representative from another program recommended by the Students’ Association of MHC, one
faculty member from another division recommended by the Faculty Association of MHC and the Vice
President, Academic or designate, who will have final approval of the nominees from the respective
associations and chair the committee.
4) The Appeal Committee will review the written documentation and hear from all parties concerned
in the matter, including the instructor and the student. The committee shall make a decision within
20 working days from the date the student filed the appeal with the Registrar. The decision of the
committee is final.

student.
4. Paraphrases or copies the work of another student without

5. Poses as, or facilitates another posing as, someone else during
an exam.


Consequences of Intellectual Dishonesty
The penalty for an act of intellectual dishonesty shall ordinarily be determined at the reasonable discretion of the instructor, and may be
the reduction of the grade on the assignment, test, or examination. The penalty shall normally be a zero grade on the assignment, test or
examination. Ordinarily the matter will be concluded at this stage. The student may appeal the instructor’s decision in writing to the dean
within 10 working days of receiving the grade.
Should the instructor deem the offense to warrant a stronger penalty, the matter shall be referred to the dean whereupon the penalty may
result in an F grade for the course or courses, expulsion from the course or courses, expulsion from the program, or expulsion from the
college.
In cases referred to the dean by an instructor or appealed by the student, the process shall be as follows:
1. The instructor shall formally notify the student and the appropriate dean in writing
outlining the details and context of the academic dishonesty. The student appealing
an instructor’s decision must do so in writing within 10 working days of receiving the
grade.
2. The Dean will meet separately with the instructor and the student (and a Students’
Association representative and a Faculty Association representative, if applicable)
to review all work and documents related to the matter;
3. The Dean shall review the matter and recommend an outcome to the Registrar
and the Vice President, Academic. The Registrar shall inform the student of the
outcome.
Appeal of Disciplinary Action for Academic Integrity Violations

The student can appeal the decision by notifying in writing the office of the Vice President, Academic within 20 working days from the
date of the dean’s decision.
1. The Vice President, Academic or designate will form an Appeal Committee com-
posed of a student representative from another program recommended by the
Students’ Association of MHC, one faculty member from another division recom-
mended by the Faculty Association of MHC and the Vice-President, Academic
or designate, who will have final approval of the nominees from the respective
associations and chair the committee.
2. The Appeal Committee will review the written documentation and hear from all
parties concerned in the matter, including the instructor and the student. The com-
mittee shall make a decision within 20 working days from the date the student filed
the appeal with the office of the Vice President Academic. The decision of the com-
mittee is final.

Where can the Journeyman work?

The Alberta Journeyman Certificate is valid in Alberta and may
be recognized in other provinces. If the journeyman holds a
certificate in one of the Interprovincial Standards (Red Seal) trades
and is interested in working in another province, they can write an
Interprovincial Standards Program (Red Seal) exam. Journeymen
who carry an Interprovincial Standards Red Seal on their provincial
certificate do not have to write any further examinations to qualify
for certification in any other province.

first. In the event that a required course is in timetable conflict with an elec-
tive course that you desire, the required course is your first priority and you
must therefore choose it. Because of scheduling complexities, high demand,
and classroom or studio space constraints, we cannot guarantee the
availability of all electives. If your first choice is full or unavailable for other
reasons, you must be prepared to select an alternative. If there are special
circumstances that require you to have a course that is full, you may appeal

University Transfer
If you are interested in learning about people, society, cultures and the arts then a degree in one of the many areas of arts might be the
right path for you. Our program is designed to prepare you to transfer to another institution after you have completed a maximum of 20
courses at Medicine Hat College. The remaining years of your Bachelor of Arts may be in a range of disciplines such as psychology,
sociology, economics, history or English.
A Bachelor of Arts can be used as a pathway into professional, graduate, or after degree programs such as Law, Rehabilitation Medicine
or Education. Students intending to pursue professional programs can complete pre-professional requirements within the University
Transfer Arts program. Students wishing to pursue a professional program are encouraged to seek the advice of an Academic Advisor
prior to selecting their courses, as program requirements change yearly and vary by institution.

Program requirements change yearly and vary by institution. Students pursuing an undergraduate degree as a learning pathway to a
professional program should consult with a Medicine Hat College Academic Advisor and a representative from the institution they wish to
attend. University Transfer students need to ensure they meet both the minimum requirements and competitive requirements for
admission.
Course Selection
To facilitate the transfer of courses from Medicine Hat College, University Transfer students are encouraged to choose a university and

The Bachelor of General Studies degree is a multidisciplinary program, which allows students to explore a variety of different subjects
and interests to meet career and educational goals. Unlike other degrees offered by Athabasca University, the Bachelor of General
Studies does not have a residency requirement, which means students may take the entire program through Medicine Hat College or

The Bachelor of General Studies degree requires the completion of 90 credits and is comparable to a three-year program. This degree
allows students the freedom to develop their own intellectual and academic interests. This does not mean that course selection should be
casual. Students are expected to ensure their vocational or personal needs are well defined. All courses transferred to this degree must
be university-level credit as determined by Athabasca University faculty. Students are strongly encouraged to register in ENGL 255 early
in their program. The English writing skills requirement is waived for students enrolling in the second undergraduate degree. Students

Most carpentry tasks involve:
• reading blueprints and/or getting instructions from a
supervisor
• performing the layout, including selecting materials,
planning sequences and methods of work, and measuring /
marking materials to avoid costly mistakes or omissions

work primarily indoors, are permanently employed and work a
regular 40-hour week. On other jobs, they work primarily outdoors,
are subject to seasonal unemployment, and routinely work
overtime in peak periods.
There is some risk of injury from slips and falls, falling objects, and

Mount Royal University and Medicine Hat College offer a degree completion program that graduates students as an elementary special-
ist with a humanities minor, and prepares its graduates for certification under the Professional Standards Branch of Alberta Education.

Hat and may be scheduled at various hours, including evenings,
nights, statutory holidays, and weekends.
Students are expected to make accommodation for commitments

outside the program to fit this scheduling. Participation in all activi-
ties related to clinical is mandatory. Failure to fully participate in
clinical experiences may jeopardize their standing in the program.
Should student performance compromise patient safety and/or
fall below acceptable professional standards of the program, the
student will be asked to leave the clinical site and will receive Fail
(F) for that course immediately.

• study the building plans and specifications to determine the
layout for the plumbing and other materials
• locate and mark the positions for connections and fixtures
• cut holes through walls and floors to accommodate pipes Alberta Apprenticeship &

• join pipe sections and secure them in position

• test pipe systems for leaks
• install underground storm sanitary and water piping system
www.tradesecrets.alberta.ca
Plumbers return to the construction site after the plasterers or
drywallers, tile setters and floor covering installers have completed
their work to do the finishing work such as installing sinks, tubs,
and toilets.
Plumbers may specialize in:

• installing water conditioners
• installing plumbing in houses under construction
• installing plumbing in commercial, institutional,
industrial or public buildings
• renovating, maintaining, and repairing existing plumbing
• installing hydronic heating and chilled water systems
• installing Sustainable Technologies
Working Conditions
The working conditions for plumbers vary from one job to another.
There is little protection from the weather when a plumber is
roughing-in, more protection for finishing, and often comfortable
conditions for maintenance and repair work. In smaller
communities, plumbers generally do a wider variety of
plumbing and plumbing-related jobs such as installing private
sewage disposal systems and potable water distribution systems.

In partnership with the Faculty of Social Work at the University of Calgary Medicine Hat College hosts the University of Calgary’s
Bachelor of Social Work Learning Circles Program. Combining virtual education formats with on site block and weekend programming,
the Learning Circles program is accessible to students living in and near host communities and to those maintaining employment while
pursuing undergraduate education. The Learning Circles Program offers an innovative and fully accredited variation of the University of
Calgary BSW Program. It offers the same quality as the university’s on-campus BSW programs, with several unique features, including:
• A redesigned curriculum to ensure cultural and geographic relevance to communities outside urban areas
• Convenient scheduling of courses with local practicum placements
• Alternative, flexible and widely accessible program delivery that combines the best distance education technology with face-to-face
educational opportunities
Program Overview
Core social work content for the Learning Circles program is themed into four areas:
• Generalist Practice in context
• Communications & Information
• Diversity & Oppression
• Social Work Methods
Through portfolio courses, students apply their learning to their developing professional identity. Option courses allow students to study

related welding. A 40-hour work week is normal, but overtime is
sometimes required.
There is some risk of injury involved working with torches and hot
metals and the resulting sparks and toxic gases.
