take:

• Regular Classroom: The instructor

leads the students through the mate-

rial each day. All students start on

the same day, work through the

course material together, and finish

the course at the same time.

• Continuous Intake (math only): Stu-

dents start their studies at different

times throughout the year. Individual

students may be studying different lev-

els of courses. The instructor is there

to help, but each student must be pre-

pared to work independently. Students

who are self-disciplined and work well

with printed instructions will be suc-

cessful in this environment.

CCP academic course repeat policy

A student who has received two con-

secutive final letter grades of “F”

in the same College and Career Prepa-

ration course can only enrol in that

same course for a third consecutive

time with permission from a counsellor

or the Dean/Regional Director. How-

ever, the student may enrol in the same

course again after a one-semester

break.
