FAQ

  • Why do I apply internally to be accepted into the Supply Chain & Operations - Business - Transfer to Ontario Tech University Bachelor of Commerce (SCTU) program?
    The SCTU program includes university courses. Ontario Tech requires students to apply and meet a minimum grade requirement for admission to their courses.
  • How do I apply internally to be accepted into the SCTU program?
    An information session is planned where we provide details about the program and mandatory Ontario Tech application. There is an enforced due date for the Ontario Tech application and it is typically submitted online. Every student interested in the embedded program must submit the application.
  • How will I be informed if I’m eligible for the program or not?
    Once your final marks from each semester are received, Durham College will notify you of your eligibility via email to your DC email account. If you have completed all of your courses each semester and have a cumulative GPA of 3.5 (75%) or higher then you are eligible to begin the next semester. Please be sure that you check your dc email account regularly.
  • Can I apply for credit transfer?
    If you have studied previously at Durham College or another recognized post-secondary institution, you may be eligible to receive credit for Durham College courses, however; Ontario Tech will not accept any credit transfers for any embedded course, students are required to complete all five embedded courses with Ontario Tech. Application and further information is available on MyCampus or by using this link, https://durhamcollege.ca/credittransfer.
  • What is the grade requirement to be in the program?
    We recommend that students have a 4.0 or “A” (85-89%) average in their semester one, year one Durham courses, before they apply to the SCTU program for semester two; however, the requirement is a “B+” (75-79%) or 3.5 GPA in the Durham College courses. You must maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5 in all Durham College courses and receive a minimum “C” (60-66%) grade in each of the Ontario Tech courses. Each institution has different grading systems. Please see each of the institutional charts.
  • Can I repeat a Ontario Tech course if I fail it?
    Yes, but only one time and you will need to pay the full university fee to retake the course. See your DC student advisor for registration information.
  • What are the five embedded Ontario Tech courses that I need to take?
    The embedded Ontario Tech courses are:
    • Critical Thinking & Ethics,
    • Finance I,
    • Organizational Behaviour,
    • Financial Accounting and
    • Business Math I.
    *Courses and program of studies are subject to change by Durham College and Ontario Tech.
  • What diploma will I graduate with?
    Durham College diploma will indicate: Supply Chain & Operations – Business (two year).
  • Can I major at Ontario Tech?
    Please note, major requirements and eligibility is at the discretion of Ontario Tech. For additional inquiries please email FBITAdvising@uoit.ca.
  • If I complete the two year SCTU diploma, but I don’t want to continue to Ontario Tech can I enter year three Supply Chain & Operations – Business Administration program at Durham?
    Yes, but not directly. You would need to take the missing year two courses from Durham College prior to entering year three. You would need to take these courses as a part-time student or through Continuing Education (pending availability). It could delay a year of studies, because of the outstanding courses and third year only begins in September via day school.
  • Can I make schedule (timetable) changes?
    Sometimes, but it is highly recommended that you don’t for the Durham College courses, and definitely not for the Ontario Tech courses. We also prefer that you remain in the scheduled block so you are together as a cohort. This makes it easier to plan sessions for you and get important information to you in person. Be prepared for fourteen weeks (the length of the semester) to be in class at Durham College anywhere from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Ontario Tech 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. throughout the week.
  • Being at two institutions are there any differences?
    Yes, there are many. You are at two separate institutions with varying expectations, procedures and policies. You are required to adhere to both institutional policies. There can also be different break weeks and varying exam schedules (for instance, a Saturday night Ontario Tech exam). SCTU is a unique program and some services will require more attention. If you experience a delay in service or response time, please be patient.
  • What Learning Management System (LMS) does Ontario Tech use?
    Ontario Tech uses Blackboard. Your embedded Ontario Tech courses will not appear on DC Connect; you will need to access Blackboard for the Ontario Tech course information. For more information about Blackboard, please use this link https://itsc.uoit.ca/services/blackboard.php.
  • Are there additional fees for the Ontario Tech courses?
    Yes, students will also be required to pay an additional tuition fee to Ontario Tech for one course in semester 2, two courses in semester 3 and two courses in semester 4. Ontario Tech tuition will be charged at the beginning of each semester starting in Semester 2. Fees are based on each academic year and are required to be paid by the Ontario Tech fee deadline. If you are receiving OSAP you are required to inform OSAP of the additional fees for the university courses.
  • Do I still use MyCampus?
    Absolutely, MyCampus is for administrative records, registration, fees, and important messages are posted through MyCampus. Both institutions use MyCampus as a primary system, but with different tabs.
  • Where, how, and when do I pay the Ontario Tech fees?
    Your account will be updated with the fees you owe through MyCampus (Ontario Tech tab). Please check your account and ensure you have paid all courses fees. You may pay these fees through a bank transfer or bank draft. Bank drafts can be submitted in person in the Software and Informatics Research Centre located across the street at 40 Conlin Road West. If you have applied for OSAP and it is delayed, you will need to make an appointment in Student Awards and Financial Aid at Ontario Tech to make payment arrangements. You cannot have an OSAP deferment of fees for your Ontario Tech courses. Please visit the following link regarding payment and refund deadlines: https://registrar.uoit.ca/fees-and-payment/payment/index.php. There are a variety of ways to pay your tuition fees, compulsory ancillary fees and program associated fees. Important: It may take five business days for payment to post to your MyCampus account.
  • Methods of payment
    Please use this link for a list of payment options, methods of payment, acceptable and non-acceptable options, https://registrar.uoit.ca/fees-and-payment/tuition-and-fees/index.php.
  • What happens after semester two?
    When your semester two final grades are available from both institutions (Ontario Tech final grades are typically posted a little after Durham College). Your grades will be reviewed to determine if you can proceed into year two of the SCTU program or if you will be transferred into the Supply Chain & Operations program. You are required to have a minimum 3.5 cumulative GPA and a minimum “C” grade in each of the Ontario Tech course(s). If you are continuing with the SCTU program you will be invoiced, pay your fees (Durham College fees are paid through Durham College), you will need to pay the Ontario Tech course fees to Ontario Tech directly (see fees for further information).
  • What happens after year two?
    You are required to have successfully completed all year one and two courses with a cumulative GPA of 3.5 in your Durham College courses and a minimum “C” in each of the five embedded Ontario Tech courses to apply to enter year three of the four year (Hons) Bachelor of Commerce (general) degree at Ontario Tech. Ontario Tech in conjunction with Durham College schedule an information session (typically in March of semester four) to respond to questions and explain the application process for Ontario Tech. Please attend this information session for valuable information and an opportunity to ask any questions.
