Is GCE in my program? What do I have to do?
What if my program already has a portfolio (professional, accreditation or other)?
You will not be expected to complete two separate portfolios. You can include an additional section in your portfolio dedicated to GCE or the artifacts that you choose to include in your portfolio to exhibit your specific program related skills may also meet the GCE requirements. Seek advice from your GCE Learning Advisor or faculty members overseeing your program's portfolio on how to proceed.
What if I switch programs?
GCE has been integrated into all programs at the College, so you can use the GCE Skills portfolio you have started in your previous program and continue adding artifacts to that portfolio. Your GCE skills will be added to your transcript as a notion upon completion of your new program.
What if a student fails the GCE assignment, do they still qualify to receive the transcript notation?
Yes. Similarly to any of the other assignments within a course. A student may fail an assignment but still accumulate the minimum grade required to pass the course.
What if a student fails the GCE assignment, but passes the course, do they still qualify to receive the transcript notation?
Yes. A fundamental aim (objective) of the GCE outcomes integration into curriculum is to facilitate (further develop or cultivate) social awareness in students. The student’s introduction to social issues that connect to their field of study offers exposure to critical and reflective thought and analysis regardless of the evaluative grade on their assignment. This is the objective of the GCE outcome integration into curriculum.
Do students who transfer from another college into a Centennial program receive the transcript notation as well?
Yes. Since GCE outcomes have been fully integrated into the courses of all programs at the College, all students receive the transcript notation upon completion of their program.
