• expect decorum and appropriate behaviour in classrooms, virtual classrooms, labs, shops, field placements, internships, etc.

Paraphrased from The Charter of Students’ Rights and Responsibilities found on our website at www.confederationc.on.ca/academicpolicies

Each member of the Confederation College community is responsible for helping to create an environment that is harassment and discrimination free. Working, learning and socializing can be accomplished in an environment of understanding and mutual respect for the dignity and rights of each individual.

This approach emphasizes that the college must be an inclusive learning community. As a college we include and celebrate a wide range of diversity and each of us must do all that we can to make the college experience positive and productive for all students, faculty and staff.

The college is a professional environment; all communication with your faculty or classmates should remain professional, as should your classroom behaviour. You have a right to an environment conducive to learning which excludes verbal, personal, emotional, physical, e-harassment (msn, email,

text chat, social networking etc.) and bullying in all forms. Using electronic devices in the classroom should be discussed with your faculty to ensure using them is acceptable.

Please respect your faculty, classmates and the classroom process. If you have a concern about fair treatment, effective advocacy begins with you becoming familiar with your student rights and responsibilities. We encourage you to speak up for yourself; ask for what you want and need; and to seek help when you need it.

We encourage direct and respectful communication. If you are having an issue with someone, and feel comfortable doing so, speak directly to the person. If you do not feel comfortable, there are many supports available to you including: your Professor; your Program Coordinator; Counselling; The Ombuds Office, and SUCCI/OASA. All of these supports are here to assist you in having a safe and positive experience during your time at Confederation College.

What is a uPass?The uPass or Universal Bus Pass is an environmentally friendly, cost saving, and safe service, which allows unlimited use of the city bus, any time, any day, anywhere that Thunder Bay Transit provides service.

How much does it cost?Full-time post-secondary students at the Thunder Bay Campus pay the uPass fee of $84 as part of their student fees. Your student card* will act as your uPass. Show the Transit Operator the front of your student card and go anywhere Thunder Bay Transit provides service.

*If you lose your student card, you have also lost your uPass. Students can replace a student card at the Library for a fee.

When can I use the uPass?Students registered in the fall semester can use their uPass starting September 1, 2013 until August 31, 2014. For students beginning courses in January, the uPass is valid from January 1 to August 31, 2014. (Reduced fee of $57)

Frequently Asked Questions

Website www.thunderbay.ca/transit I 33

Where can I find bus information? Bus schedules and route maps are located at the front desk of the SUCCI Office, at the Information Hub, or on information posts at campus bus stops. For further transit schedule and route information, please call the Transit Helpline at 684-3744 or visit thunderbay.ca/transit.

Can I take my bike on the bus? Thunder Bay Transit has installed racks on all buses so cyclists can take their bikes with them. Bike racks hold two bikes.

Is my uPass eligible for a Federal Tax Credit? The uPass fee is eligible to claim for the Federal Transit Tax credit. uPass receipts are available online in your MyCampus account.

How safe is Transit? Security cameras have been installed on every bus. The installation of surveillance cameras is intended to improve the protection and safety of employees and the general public, to reduce and deter incidents of vandalism or criminal activity, and for the protection of property and assets. Also, Transit offers a Night Stop program. After dark, you can ask your driver to drop you off between bus stops, closer to your destination.

How can I be a respectful rider? Public Transit means you are sharing a trip and sharing space with other passengers. Respect those you are riding with, and you can expect their respect in return. Here are some things to remember: 1. Please do not place anything in the aisle 2. Try to occupy only one seat with you and your parcels 3. Leave the Priority Seating area for those who need it 4. No foul language 5. Please refrain from loud conversation, music or cell phone calls 6. If you have a beverage, please cover it to avoid spilling it on others. 7. Take any newspapers or litter with you when you depart 8. Please exit at the rear doors.

wireless Network FAcilities

wireless access points (running on the 802.11 a/b/g/n standards) to the College network/Internet have been installed throughout the campus. This means that any user with a wireless enabled device (laptop, tablet, mobile device, etc.) can configure their device to connect to the college network.

Instructions for setting up wireless networking will vary depending on the type of device being used, operating systems, etc. However, the general ‘connect to’ information is provided below:

Wireless Connectivity (for all College buildings and Campuses)

Network Name/SSID: snap?47

Network Key (WEP):DAfCA169AA

more detailed instructions on how to properly configure your windows Xp, windows Vista, windows 7, windows 8, mac, or other mobile device to connect to the college’s wireless network are available at the Computer Services Help Desk (Rm. 346 in Shuniah building).

for further information or help on connecting your device to the college wireless network, please visit the Computer Services Help Desk or call (807) 475-6488.

Computer Log-off Procedure

Students must properly log off and shut down the computer before leaving a workstation in order to ensure the next person who comes along does not gain access to the previous person’s resources and information.

If a student fails to log off properly, someone else could resume the last person’s session, read their e-mail, and perform various other undesirable activities including using up the person’s printing allocation. To log off and shut down:

1. Click the ‘Windows’ or ‘Start’ button at the bottom left of the screen.

2. Select ‘Shut Down’ or ‘Log off’.

3. wait until the computer completely shuts down or logs off to ensure it is safe to leave the computer.


sAviNg computer work

each student network account is also given network drive space (called the student ‘J-drive’) to save and retrieve their work files from. The student J-drive is a space on the network server that is private for each account (only someone logging in with the particular account or authorized Computer Services staff can access it). each student account has been allocated 100 mb of space on the J-drive to store their files on. Within the personal J-drive space, a student is free to save, retrieve, and delete files, as well as manage folders.

Students are encouraged to use the J-drive to store their work files on as it is much more secure and reliable than using removable (uSb) drives (which can be damaged and/or lost). A major advantage of using the student J-drive is that the network server is backed up on a regular basis making it possible to retrieve files that may have been accidentally deleted or damaged. please contact the Help Desk for assistance with this service. It is also recommended that students Do noT save to the local hard drive (C-drive) of a computer as there is protective software installed on all student lab computer workstations in the college that will delete the files the next time the computer is rebooted.

please note that the student J-drive is regularly monitored to ensure that students do not exceed their 100mb disk space allocation or use the J-drive to store inappropriate material on (as per the college’s Information Technology Acceptable use policy). please visit http://www.confederationc.on.ca/sites/default/files/ch7-s1-01-Acceptable-Use-Policy.doc for more information on this policy.


To save a file to the J-drive:

1. Select ‘File’ then ‘Save As’ from within the computer program being used.

2. navigate through the available drive letters to find the drive letter “J”.

3. Click on the J-drive to select it (this is the student’s personal network space).

4. Enter a file name and click on the ‘Save’ button.

To retrieve a file from the J-drive:

1. Select ‘File’ then ‘Open’ from within the computer program being used.

2. navigate through the available drive letters to find the drive letter “J”.

3. Click on the J-Drive to select it (this is the student’s personal network space).

4. Select the file you wish to retrieve and press the ‘Open’ button.

Note: A student’s network account and J-drive space, is kept for up to one year after a student leaves the college. This gives students plenty of time to back up any school materials they may want to keep to a personal storage device.


priNtiNg ANd scANNiNg

Confederation College has black & white laser printers available for student use. These printers are located in many computer lab areas within the Shuniah building (Help Desk & library), mcIntyre building, Dorion building, and ACe building. Colour laser printing is also available for general student use. Colour printers can be found at the Computer Services Help Desk (available from all 3rd floor lab computers), the 1st floor library lab, the 2nd floor library lab, and in all labs in the mcIntyre building.

Printing Allocation

each student is automatically given an allocation of $36 dollars per year for printing purposes. This ‘print balance’ is tied to your college account and will allow you to print to any student network printer in a computer lab area. The cost for printing is as follows:

black & white = $0.05 cents per/page

black & white (double-sided print) = $0.04 cents/page

Colour (single or double-sided print) = $0.40 cents/page

printing costs are automatically deducted from a students’ available print balance each time a print job is sent.

Note: print balance money is non-refundable and non-transferable, but is renewed at the start of each new academic year for returning students.

How to Print

To print a job to a “pay-for-print” laser printer from any computer workstation:

1. print as usual from any windows program (i.e. select ‘File’ then ‘Print’).

2. Select the printer from the list provided that you wish to print to.

3. press the ‘Print’ button.


Purchasing Additional Print Balance

If a student exceeds the $36-per year printing allocation, they can purchase additional allocation at the print Shop located on the main floor of the Shuniah Building near the balmoral entrances, or at the library Circulation Desk located on the 2nd floor.

Checking Print Account Balance

To check how much money you have left on your print balance account:

1. ensure you are logged into a College lab computer with your own college account.

2. At the top right corner of the screen, you will see a window indicating your current print balance.

Colour Scanning

Colour scanners are available for students to use on select stations inroom 344 (behind Help Desk), the 1st floor library lab, the 2nd floor library lab, as well as in the mcIntyre building in room 257.


securitY soFtwAre ANd stAtioN moNitoriNg

A security software package has been installed on all college lab computers and is configured to prevent changes to the operating system, additions of shortcut icons to the desktop, unauthorized software installations, etc. Any of the above changes will be lost the next time the computer is rebooted. Warning: This process will delete any files/documents that have been added/saved to the C-drive!
