All Library and Information Technology courses are taught at the Abbotsford campus. Most of these courses require extensive use of the UCFV library and computer labs for preparing weekly assignments, which tend to be practical in nature. A broad basis of general knowledge, an extensive vocabulary, and competence in the use of the English language are essential for Library and Information Technology students. Courses in this program emphasize the development of good communication skills, through both oral and written assignments. All written assignments submitted must be word processed.
Computers are available for program students to use.
Full-time students will carry a workload of five courses per semester. You should be prepared for a heavy course of study, with assignments due on a weekly basis. You are expected to attend all classes, and to participate effectively in class activities. According to UCFV policy, you may be required to withdraw from a course or program because of extremely poor academic performance. No student will be required to withdraw without receiving, in writing, prior warning which states minimum requirements for improving academic performance and an appropriate deadline.
