I am a first-year nursing student in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing program currently enrolled at CNC in Prince George. I am contacting you about the lack of response on the part of the CNC administrators to the pandemic. They have not been very forthcoming with their students.
The change to online format has been tough for many of the students and teachers alike. However, the CNC administration has not been very responsive to the subject of grades or withdrawing from classes without academic penalty. Several weeks ago, institutions like UVIC, UBC, UBCO, and even UNBC had allowed their students to either keep their grades or have a pass or fail reported on their transcript with no effect on the overall GPA.
I initially emailed CNC admin and only got two responses and several times prior updating them that more prestigious institutions are making changes. However, I received no response.
Many students have suffered from the change to online courses due to COVID-19 and I don't know who else to turn to. CNC has shown that they are too busy for their students, so I reckon with pressure, they might make the same decision regarding transcripts as the rest of the province.
