9.1 Academic Dishonesty

SSLC constitutes Academic Dishonesty to include, but is not limited to:

• Cheating of any type on tests or assignments.
• Impersonating another student or allowing oneself to be impersonated.
• Plagiarism: defined as to steal and pass off the ideas or words of another as one's own; use another's production without crediting the source.

SSLC values academic excellence, inquisitiveness, and curiosity.

Except as stipulated below, ownership of rights in IP created in the course of research activities belongs to the creator(s). The exceptions are:

1. The material was developed in the course of teaching, to support classroom curriculum, or to support the delivery of curriculum, or school programs and services.

Owners of IP rights in scholarly works created in the course of research activities grant SSLC a non-exclusive, free, irrevocable, indivisible, and non-transferable license to use, for academic purposes, all works created by an author.

10.1 Grade Appeal Procedure:

Students who are dissatisfied with a grade and can provide evidence that a higher grade is warranted should discuss the matter with their instructor. The instructor will review the grade and, if warranted, make the necessary adjustment. If the student remains unsatisfied with the outcome, they may submit a written appeal to the Academic Manager/Director.

The Academic Manager/Director will obtain a copy of the assignment or test in question from the instructor and arrange for another instructor to re-assess it.

• If the re-assessment results in a higher grade, the higher grade will be assigned.
• If the re-assessment results in a lower grade, the original grade will be retained.

The grade will be considered final and cannot be appealed.

Students will be notified of the grade appeal decision within thirty (30) school days of SSLC's receipt of the written appeal.

18.1 Policy Statement

All students and staff of SSLC are entitled to study and work in an environment that is free from Sexual Misconduct. The College considers Sexual Misconduct to be a serious violation of an individual's fundamental rights. Members of the College community who engage in Sexual Misconduct may be subject to a range of disciplinary measures, up to and including suspension, dismissal or expulsion from the College. Members of the College community who experience and report Sexual Misconduct will be provided with support by the College and assistance with accessing additional support services both on and off the Campus.

However, knowing what constitutes Sexual Misconduct is often difficult. Freedom from misconduct and harassment does not mean that you will be protected from exposure to controversial material and ideas, nor does it mean that every encounter you have at SSLC will be agreeable. SSLC is a place of learning in which the free exchange of information, ideas and perspectives are valued and encouraged. The legitimate study of topics of a sexual nature within the College's curriculum is not considered Sexual Misconduct.

18.2 Scope

This Policy applies to all members of the SSLC community, which includes students, employees, guests and visitors. The Policy is intended to address and eliminate Sexual Misconduct which occurs within the context of SSLC and activities and which interferes with an individual's employment or studies at the College. Behaviour which occurs separate from any College-related activities and which is unrelated to an individual's employment or studies at the College is not covered by this Policy. This Policy is not intended to be used in situations where Sexual Misconduct is of a violent nature. In the event of violent incidents, law enforcement authorities will be contacted and support will be provided to the victim. The College does reserve the right to conduct an investigation and take appropriate steps in the event of violent situations, if necessary to protect the safety of the College community.

Notwithstanding the existence of this Policy, every individual has the right to pursue other courses of action, even when steps are taken under this Policy. The College reserves the right to suspend the processing of complaints when alternate routes are being pursued by the Complainant.

18.3 Definitions

Consent: The voluntary agreement to engage in the sexual activity in question and to continue to engage in the activity. Voluntary agreement to engage in the activity or to continue to engage in the activity must be communicated through words or conduct, and can be revoked at any time. No consent is obtained where a person is incapable of consenting, for example, by intoxication or where a person is induced to engage in the activity by someone abusing a position of trust, power or authority.

Sexual Misconduct: To constitute Sexual Misconduct, behaviour may be a single serious incident or may be repeated or persistent behaviour. Sexual Misconduct is any form of sexual contact without a person's consent, including the threat of sexual contact without consent. Sexual Misconduct may include sexual assault, sexual exploitation, sexual harassment, criminal harassment (stalking), indecent exposure, voyeurism, the distribution of a sexually explicit photograph or video without consent, the attempt to commit an act of sexual misconduct, and the threat to commit an act of sexual misconduct.

Sexual Harassment: Sexual harassment refers to unwanted communications or actions that are sexual in nature, and are offensive, intimidating or humiliating. It can take many forms including verbal, written or visual. Sexual harassment may include conduct or comment of a sexual nature made by a person who knows it is unwanted, expressed or implied promise for complying with a request of a sexual nature, actual reprisal or threat of reprisal, and differential treatment.

Sexual Assault: Sexual assault is any form of sexual contact that occurs without any freely given consent. Sexual assault includes any form of sexual contact where consent has not been given. Sexual assault includes date rape or acquaintance rape. There are three levels of sexual assault in the Criminal Code of Canada: Level 1 (forced sexual contact without bodily harm), Level 2 (with a weapon or bodily harm), Level 3 (aggravated bodily harm or life-endangerment).

Criminal Harassment (Stalking): Criminal harassment, which includes stalking, is prohibited by the Criminal Code of Canada. Criminal harassment prohibits deliberate conduct that is psychologically harmful to others. This includes repeatedly following, communicating with, watching, or threatening a person or their family.

Sexual Exploitation: Sexual exploitation is the sexual abuse of children and youth through the exchange of sex or sexual acts for drugs, food, shelter, protection, other basics of life, and/or money.

18.4 Jurisdiction

The SSLC Sexual Violence and Misconduct Policy will be triggered if all of the following criteria are met:

• Both of the parties (the Complainant and the Respondent) are students, employees, guests or visitors.
• The last incident of alleged misconduct occurred within the preceding six (6) months.
• The behaviour occurred in the context of a College related activity.
• The behaviour, if true, would constitute a contravention of the Policy.

18.5 Procedural Fairness

The College will deal with allegations of Sexual Misconduct in a procedurally fair, unbiased and timely manner. Complainants and Respondents shall be advised of the procedures available to them and will be provided with a copy of this Policy. The Parties shall be advised of the allegations and responses of both the Complainant and Respondent and shall be accorded reasonable opportunity to provide comments in support or defense of their own positions.

18.6 Disclosure and Reporting Options

Complainants have the following disclosure and reporting options:

• No Report: The Complainant may wish to disclose sexual violence in order to seek emotional support, medical support, or advocacy, but may not want to report to police or other campus authorities.
• Report to Police: The Complainant may wish to make a police statement, which would generally be followed by a criminal investigation.
• Third Party Report to Police via Community Victim Service Agency: The Complainant may wish to make an anonymous Third-Party Report through a community-based victim support worker.
• Medical Assistance / Forensic Medical Exam: It is advisable for anyone who has experienced a sexual assault to seek medical attention to address possible physical injury, pregnancy and/or sexually transmitted infections.
• Formal Complaint to College: The Complainant may wish to make a formal report to the College, precipitating the College Sexual Misconduct process.

18.7 Interim Relief

The College or Authorized Representative may take whatever interim measures he or she deems necessary to protect the College community, pending the completion of an investigation into a Sexual Misconduct complaint. Such measures may include no-contact orders, restricting access, or suspension pending investigation.

18.8 Confidentiality and Anonymity

The College will attempt to ensure that confidentiality is maintained except where disclosure is necessary for the purposes of investigating and resolving the complaint or where required by law. Confidentiality must, however, be distinguished from anonymity. If a Complainant wishes to proceed with a Formal Investigation by the College, procedural fairness requires that the Respondent be made aware of the nature of the complaint, including the identity of the Complainant. The limits to confidentiality include situations where individuals are at imminent risk of harm, or there is a legal requirement to report.

18.9 Complaint Procedure

1. Initial Consultation: Campus Director. A member of the College community who feels he or she has experienced or witnessed Sexual Misconduct is encouraged to discuss the matter with the Campus Director to explore options and available support.

2. Informal Resolution. The Complainant may seek Informal Resolution. This is not mandatory and may not be appropriate for all manner of Sexual Misconduct. This may involve attempting to facilitate a mutually agreed-to resolution.

3. Formal Investigation. Where the Complainant wishes to pursue Formal Investigation, they must submit a written and signed request. An Investigator will be appointed to receive information from the Complainant, the Respondent, and witnesses. The Investigator will complete a written report, including findings of fact, and submit it to the College President.

4. Formal Decision. After reviewing the Report of the Investigator, the College President will make decision(s) on findings of Sexual Misconduct and on appropriate actions, which may include warnings, restricted access, suspension, expulsion, or termination of employment.

5. Appeal. If the Complainant or Respondent feels that appropriate process was not followed, they may appeal the decisions of the College President to the Chair of the GEC within ten (10) days.

The purpose of this policy is to set out the principles and standards of professional conduct expected of all members of the college community in order to make every reasonable effort to provide a respectful campus environment free from discrimination, harassment, and violence for employees and students alike.

19.1 Scope and Limits

This policy applies to members of the college community and to all aspects of SSLC's campus environment, which includes both physical locations as well as virtual space. This policy does not limit the right of a complainant to make inquiries or register a complaint with any external agencies, such as the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal.

19.2 Policy Statements

• Members of the college community, including employees and students, engaged in any activity on college property or in conjunction with the college have the right to an environment that promotes respectful behavior.
• SSLC strives to provide a campus environment that is free from discrimination, harassment, and violence. The college does not condone these behaviors and they will not be tolerated.

Prohibited grounds include the following: race, religious beliefs, color, gender, physical disability, mental disability, marital status, age, ancestry, place of origin, family status, source of income, and sexual orientation. Excluding a person from a right or privilege to which they would otherwise be entitled, because of a prohibited ground, would constitute prohibited conduct.

General Harassment: Includes any unwelcome verbal or physical behavior that unreasonably interferes with work/learning or creates an intimidating, hostile, or offensive work/learning environment. General harassment can include, but is not limited to, remarks, jokes, or actions which demean or humiliate another person and which deny individuals their dignity and respect.

SSLC aims to foster an inclusive and accessible learning environment by reducing barriers for all students, including those with disclosed disabilities through the use of "Learning Accommodations".

Such accommodation refers to an adaptation or alteration of the teaching environment, materials, or means for assessment for the purpose of providing a student with a disclosed physical or intellectual disability an alternative method for meeting the essential requirements of the program. Learning accommodations are made to reduce any barriers that prevent the student's ability to engage in the program but does not modify the required learning outcomes nor lower the standards of evaluation.

A student who is seeking an accommodation has an obligation to be proactive and make the request prior to the commencement of the program so that the college can work in collaboration with the student to determine if/how reasonable accommodations can be made. Reasonableness is determined by modifications to be taken by the college that will enable academic standards to be maintained and for regulatory and legal obligations to be met, without causing undue hardships.

In making the request for accommodation, the student is required to provide documentation, such as a Psycho-Educational Assessment, Psycho Vocational Assessment or Permanent Disability Program's Application. This documentation needs to be written by an appropriate medical professional.

The documentation must include the following:

• Nature of the disability.
• Detailed explanation of the functional impacts of the disability or medical condition.
• Expected duration, stability, or progression.
• Relevant treatment / medication information.

Accommodations are based on documented individual needs. Reasonable accommodations do not compromise essential requirements of a course or program, do not pose a threat to personal or public safety, do not impose an undue hardship or administrative burden, and are not of a personal nature.
