students will be notified of the specific requirements for the course. The MSW Program must
approve courses using this type of design prior to implementation. Typically, on-line courses
will use the Desire to Learn (D2L) course management program, which is available to all faculty
and students enrolled in the program. Students can access this through their home campus Home
Web-page once they are enrolled in a course.
Grades
Each campus has a unique grading system, which the MSW Program must adhere to.
Consequently, students from different campuses in the same MSW courses will receive different
grades. The MSW Program acknowledges that this is not ideal and may be perceived as unfair.
The grading system used in the Collaborative MSW Program is as follows:
Students must achieve a grade of B or Pass (field) in all required courses.
Grades below C are unacceptable for any graduate elective courses.
NASW Code of Ethics
The NASW Code of Ethics is viewed as policy by the MSW Program and as such, should serve
as a guide to the student with regard to their everyday conduct in the classroom and in field.
Students will be held accountable to the standards of the NASW Code of Ethics.
