COURSE RE-SIT POLICY
Where a student has failed a course, the student is expected to repeat the course. A student may repeat course only once without permission. The student must register for such a course. When a course is repeated, the grade will be used in computing the student’s final grades. A distinction diploma may not be granted to a student repeating more than one course.
CLASS LOAD
The normal class load for a student is 8 credit hours per semester, and a minimum class load is four credit hours per semester.
*15 hours of teaching normally equals 1 credit hour, 35 hours of practical work is equal to 1 credit hour.
TRANSFER CREDITS AND EXEMPTIONS
Requests for the transfer of credit(s) will be considered by the Principal and such credits may either have been earned at MTI, CPTC or from another academic or technical institution. Transfer credits and exemptions are assessed on the basis of equivalent credit loads or subject content for a particular course.
CERTIFICATION
The successful completion of the requirements for the programme in which students are enrolled including compliance with the Regulations of the Institute will be awarded a Diploma. Participants in the modular courses, seminars and workshops will be awarded a Certificate. Students with grades of 70 and over in all subjects (without any re-sits) will be awarded a Distinction Diploma and thus a similar grade in the modular programme will receive a Merit Certificate.
ARTICULATION
In today’s educational environment, it is necessary to be able to have academic mobility between institutions. MTI programmes allow graduates to articulate into the following institutions:
- The University of Technology, Jamaica
- Northern Caribbean University
- VTDI
- CARIMAC at the University of the West Indies, Mona Campus and
- External Partner Institutions
CLASS ATTENDANCE POLICY
Students are not permitted to attend courses for which they are not registered, nor can they take two courses that meet concurrently. Regular and prompt attendance of all classes is expected of all students.
Students enrolled in Professional development courses are required to attend all their classes and to fulfill the teaching hours requecired in order to be certified.
ACADEMIC AND CLASSROOM CONDUCT
Plagiarism, cheating, and other forms of academic dishonesty are prohibited.
Students guilty of academic misconduct, either directly or indirectly through participation or assistance, are immediately responsible to the instructor of the class. Breaches for academic or non academic regulations will be handled under the Grievance Procedure outlined in this Handbook.
