St. Clair College's university schedule for the 2020 fall season has been suspended, following an announcement Monday by the Ontario Colleges Athletic Association in consultation with its member institutions.

The St. Clair College university sports impacted by this choice include baseball, softball, soccer, golf and cross-country running.

The OCAA decided in order to even more lower the possible exposure to COVID-19 and secure the health and wellness of everybody involved in varsity sports, especially student athletes, coaches, athletic personnel and fans.

" The health and wellness of everybody included in St. Clair's sports is paramount," stated Ron Seguin, Vice President International Relations, School Advancement and Student Providers. St. Clair will continue to lineup teams and honour its scholarship commitments, Seguin stated. "It's the right thing to do. We will put you on a roster and monitor your scholastic performance to make certain you are meeting the established college criteria."

St. Clair College is also working collaboratively with member schools on a plan to offer a spring 2021 season for suspended fall 2020 sports.

The suspension of the fall varsity schedule follows the choice of a number of colleges to offer both online and in-person classes in the fall, lessening the St. Clair College number of students and staff on school.

St. Clair College has actually not finalized its fall scholastic schedule, but it has been considering a hybrid model of delivery for its programs. Each of the 24 public colleges in Ontario are thinking about restricting access to their campuses for needed hands-on knowing, under stringent best practices. Personnel and trainee existence on-campus will be kept to an essential minimum and theory will continue to be offered through faculty-led remote learning.

The OCAA will examine the scenario on a continuous basis with a goal of resuming university sports for the 2021 winter term, starting in January. The winter season term includes basketball, volley ball and indoor soccer.

Good grades can open lots of doors in college: scholarships, acceptance into specific majors and much better opportunities of entering graduate school.

Likewise, bad grades can close those exact same doors, potentially requiring trainees to duplicate classes to resume them. But what defines an excellent or bad grade largely depends on the objectives trainees set for their collegiate career, academic professionals state.

" We really want our trainees to work with us to specify what they believe great grades are for them to be effective. At a bare minimum, it's going to be a 2.0 (grade point average)," says Chris Jensen, assistant vice president for student success at Western Kentucky University. "That's what they need to graduate, however we want our trainees to strive for more than that."

Broken down by letter grade, a student with all A's can anticipate to make a 4.0, all B's to equate to a 3.0 and all C's to hit the 2.0 mark. GPA is computed over a student's collegiate profession by adding the resulting grades of classes together to evaluate academic efficiency.

While a 2.0 may suffice to graduate from numerous college programs, it might fall short depending upon major requirements. Specific programs-- especially those with an emphasis on science, technology, mathematics and engineering-- might require a 3.0 or better. Similarly, admission to graduate school normally requires a GPA higher than a 2.0, specifically for competitive programs.
