Business Administration - Supply Chain and
Operations Management #0045

Management program prepares students for successful careers in the
growing and dynamic field of supply chain management. Our program has a
longstanding reputation for providing students with the skills and knowledge
required to play key roles in this rewarding and varied field where they can
make decisions that have a global impact.
A supply chain describes the flow of goods, services and information from
suppliers to the final customer. In todays business environment, companies
no longer compete against companies; supply chains compete against supply
chains. In the program, students develop the necessary knowledge and skills
to manage and coordinate the supply chain activities required to produce and
deliver all the goods and services we use every day.
The central theme of this program is continuous improvement, a key element
in being competitive in a global market. Graduates of the program will receive
a Lean Six Sigma Yellow Belt Certificate, endorsed by High Performance
Solutions Inc. This program is also fully accredited by the Canadian Supply
Chain Sector Council (CSCSC).
This program also takes a hands-on, project-oriented approach and provides
opportunities to work with current business and industry partners. Instructors
are experts in their disciplines, often using an interactive approach to enrich
the learning environment. This approach benefits our graduates finding
employment in public and private sector organizations in areas such as
purchasing, logistics, project management, distribution, planning, scheduling,
and many more.
Partnership with professional associations including Purchasing Management
Association of Canada (PMAC), The Association of Operations Management
(APICS), and Ontario Public Buyers Association (OPBA) affords students the
opportunity to network with professionals and work towards internationally
recognized professional designations while at school.
Note:

The Canadian Supply Chain Sector Council recently released their 2012 HR Study Update
identifying future personnel needs within the sector. Highlights are as follows:
- The Canadian supply chain is a large sector, employing in excess of 767,200 workers.
- Future employment opportunities are favourable within the sector given a currently
high vacancy rate and the prospect of a large proportion of the workforce approaching
retirement age.
- To keep pace with anticipated growth and to replace retiring workers, the sector
anticipates the need to hire almost 66,000 individuals annually.

APPRENTICESHIP
Becoming a Journeyperson: Skilled workers (journeypersons) are in
high demand in a broad range of occupations and make an important
contribution to Canadas economic growth. If you are interested in becoming
a journeyperson, you must first complete an apprenticeship. Women are
encouraged to investigate the significant benefits of a career in a skilled
occupation.
Apprenticeship: Apprenticeship is an agreement between an individual who
wants to learn a skill and an employer who needs a skilled worker. It is a
combination of in-school training and on-the-job experience. An apprenticeship
can last two to five years, depending on the program. As an apprentice,
about 90% of your time is spent learning practical skills on the job, while
supervised by a qualified journeyperson. The rest is spent learning theoretical
and technical aspects of your trade. Over time, the apprenticeship system of
training has proven to be one of the worlds most successful ways to learn.
On-the-Job Experience: Once you have decided which occupation best suits
your interests and talents, it is up to you to find an employer willing to employ
you as an apprentice.
In-School Training: Conestoga College provides the in-school training portion
for a variety of skilled trades. You will be released from work to attend trade
school either in a block or one-day-a-week format, depending on the trade and
delivery options.
Registration: Registration occurs after an employer is found. At that time
the employer or apprentice may call the local Apprenticeship and Client
Services Office to request registration and have a contract prepared. Once
you are a registered apprentice and have received your Offer of Classroom
Training Form, classroom training fees apply. Applicants are registered on a
first-come, first-serve basis. You are not required to pay classroom fees while
participating in OYAP. You may also view the apprenticeship web site at: www.
apprenticesearch.com
For more information, call the Apprenticeship Office at 519-653-5758 or 1-866-

Interior Design (Bachelor of ) (Co-op) #1068C
This unique co-op program focuses on architecture and interior design
and relies heavily upon project-based learning. This Bachelor of Interior
Design degree provides professional training in design development and the
presentation of interior spaces (residential, commercial, retail, institutional,
health, entertainment, exposition).
The relationship between tenants and their physical environment will be
analyzed by taking into consideration the space dimensions, composition,
furnishings, illumination, texture, acoustics, finishes, colour and other aspects
that address functional requirements, comfort and aesthetics. In other words,
interior design takes the shell of any building as a point of departure and
works on the construction and decoration, as well as on the whole range of
components that allow the space to be inhabited.
Conestogas Interior Design degree is unique! This program is more technical in
nature than most interior design programs.
Why is that important? Industry professionals have told us that graduates who
have this technical competency are very attractive to employers and will need
less on-the-job training. Interior design has evolved and is as much science
as it is art. Designing and creating sustainable buildings; managing interior
design projects; working in a team of professionals that includes architects,
engineers and contractors: all of these require the solid technical education
that is provided in Conestogas Bachelor of Interior Design degree program.
Graduates are prepared for the realities of working with new and emerging
technologies and for a great career in interior design!
Students will learn to integrate the issues of interior design with maintenance
and management of the built environment and will engage in a detailed study
of the principles, methods, and applications for technically and financially
sound decision making. Co-op work term opportunities exist in third and fourth
year to provide students with relevant experience that will complement their
academic studies.
The program has been designed in consultation with the Association of
Registered Interior Designers of Ontario (ARIDO) and is on ARIDOs list of
recognized interior design programs. Conestoga will be following the procedure
for accreditation by the Council of Interior Design Accreditation (CIDA) which
requires that two years of the program be delivered before an application for
candidacy status can be submitted.
A laptop computer meeting minimum specifications is required for this
program.
Graduates of advanced diploma programs in interior design can apply to
transfer credits and pursue the Bachelor of Interior Design degree.

DIPLOMA
CONESTOGA
Conestoga College is the second largest Apprenticeship Training Delivery
Agent (TDA) in Ontario, with over 4,000 apprentices registered in 28
apprenticeship deliveries. The delivery of career-focused programs has
earned Conestoga the honour of being consistently rated as one of Ontarios
top colleges.
WHAT IS APPRENTICESHIP?
Apprenticeship is an on-the-job training programfor people who want to
pursue a career in the skilled trades. About 90 percent of apprenticeship
training occurs in the workplace under the supervision of skilled trades
people, while the remainder involves classroominstruction, usually at a post-
secondary institution such as a college.
HOW DOES AN APPRENTICESHIP WORK?
Apprenticeship involves a contract between a person who wants to learn
trade-related skills and an employer who needs a skilled tradesperson. In
the case of traditional apprenticeship, an individual must be employed to
begin an apprenticeship and the employer must agree to apprentice the
person in a trade. Apprentices earn while they learn. It is a contract between
the employer, apprentice and the government. In the absence of an
employer relationship, Conestoga can assist in identifying other pathways to
apprenticeship.
FINDING AN EMPLOYER
An individual interested in becoming an apprentice can usually apply directly
to an employer, union or local apprenticing committee. Apprenticeship
programs can range fromtwo to fve years in length and during that time the
apprentice receives wages based on his/her skills. Finding an employer can
sometimes prove difcult especially if lacking experience in the trade of
interest. Conestoga can help by providing pathways to apprenticeship. The
hands-on skills development and experience gained through Conestogas
programs are well-recognized by employers and prepare individuals to
become a more valuable candidate for potential apprenticeship.

APPRENTICESHIP
A SIGNIFICANT SKILLS GAP IN CANADA
Due to baby boomer retirements and an aging population, Canada is facing
a serious skilled-labour shortage. A number of sources predict the demand
for skilled tradespeople will accelerate in coming years.
The Globe and Mail reported that Canada faces a shortage of one
million tradespeople by 2020.
The Conference Board of Canada has estimated that Ontario will face
a shortage of 190,000 skilled workers by 2020, projected to rise to
560,000 by 2030.
Ontario is losing out on as much as $24.3 billion in economic activity
annually because employers cannot fnd people with the skills they
need to innovate and grow in todays economy, according to the
Conference Board of Canada.
For an individual pursuing a career in trades,
employment prospects are bright.

Conestoga College Application Form available
at the Conestoga College Registrars Office or
online at: www.conestogac.on.ca/admissions/

3. Applying as a Mature Student
A mature student is one who is 19 years of age
or older as of the first day of classes without an
Ontario Secondary School Diploma (OSSD), or
equivalent. If you possess an OSSD, regardless
of your age or number of years out of high
school, you will be considered on the basis of
your OSSD and mature student status does not
apply. If specific subject requirements are indi-
cated, all applicants must possess those subject
requirements regardless of whether they are
applying as mature students; however, college,
university and upgrading equivalencies may be
used if applicants do not possess the appro-
priate subject requirements. Mature students
must demonstrate their potential to work at the
post-secondary level in one of two ways:
- by successfully completing equivalency
testing in English and/or mathematics; or
- by completing a program of academic
upgrading at a level appropriate to the
program of choice.
If you have been out of high school for sev-
eral years, we recommend you contact our
academic upgrading office to assess, review,
and brush up on your academic skills to be well
prepared for success at the post-secondary
level. Participating in academic upgrading also
provides you with the opportunity to increase
your marks for competitive college programs.
The College offers several ways for applicants
to enhance their basic skills and improve their
chances for admission on either a full-time or
part-time basis. For program and course infor-
mation, contact the College Information Centre
at 519-748-5220, ext. 3656.
ADMISSION INFORMATION
Admission criteria and specific program
requirements are established and set out
by Conestoga for all full-time and part-time
post-secondary programs of instruction
following the Ministry of Training, Colleges and
Universities Binding Policy Directive. Students
must be able to receive instruction, respond
and research in the English language.
ADMISSION PROCESS
1. ProgramAdmission Requirements
Program admission requirements are stated
in the Admission Requirements section of
each program in this calendar. Meeting these
requirements does not guarantee admission to
Conestoga College programs.
2. Subject Requirements
Most Conestoga College programs indicate
that specific subjects are required for admis-
sion. When planning course selection in these
required areas, we advise applicants to aim for
success at the highest available course level.
Applicants may arrange for testing to meet
subject requirements in English, mathematics,
and some sciences for most programs. (Please
note: co-op courses do not meet admissions
requirements.) Please see Admissions Testing
below.
3. Academic Strength Calculation
An academic strength is calculated by averag-
ing the submitted marks of required subjects. If
more than one mark is received for a required
subject, the highest mark will be used in the
calculation. Applicants with the highest aca-
demic strength are considered for admission
or further applicant assessment. The minimum
academic strength varies from year to year.
Acceptance to a program is dependent on the
number of applications received, the academic
strength of the applicants, and the program
capacity. During the selection process, marks
may be reviewed on an individual basis. As a
result, applicants with low grades in required
subjects may not be considered.
Note: For all certificate, diploma and advanced
diploma programs, secondary school marks for
required courses will be awarded a 10-mark
bonus as follows:
- Any U Level
- Any U/C or Mlevel
- Any courses at the advanced level from the
old curriculum Advanced Level, OAC
- Post-secondary marks for required courses
delivered through recognized institutions.
Courses delivered through Conestoga College
Preparatory Studies which have been deemed
to be taught at the U, U/C, or Advanced level
will be awarded the 10-mark bonus as follows:
- Preparatory Chemistry
- Preparatory Physics
- Preparatory Biology
Bonus marks will NOT be applied to academic
strength calculations for any degree or gradu-
ate certificate programs.
4. Secondary School Full Disclosure
If a subject has been repeated, only the highest
grade will be used in the calculation of aca-
demic strength.
5. Mid-TermGrades
If mid-term marks from relevant subjects are
available at the time admission decisions are
made, they will be used in the calculation
of academic strength. In some cases, deci-
sions will be delayed until a mid-term grade is
received.
Grade 11 marks from the relevant subjects may
be used to make admission decisions when
mid-term marks of the required level are not
available. Please see important information
in Oversubscribed Programs below regard-
ing the use of mid-term grades and grade 11
marks when calculating academic strength in
oversubscribed programs.
6. Further Applicant Assessment
Some programs require that applicants are
assessed using other selection criteria. These
may include such things as questionnaires,
information meeting attendance, portfolios,
specific skills demonstration, and/or additional
assessment of required subjects.
7. Admissions Testing
Testing is available in mathematics, English,
biology, and chemistry. Note: Pre-admission
testing is not available for degree programs.
8. Offer of Admission
This letter is mailed when an applicant is offered
admission to a program. An offer of admission
will appear on the applicants ontariocolleges.
ca application.
9. Confirmation of Acceptance
An offer of admission must be confirmed before
the deadline indicated on the offer of admis-
sion letter or the applicant may lose the space
in the program. Offers of admission should
be confirmed online at www.ontariocolleg-
es.ca or by contacting the ontariocolleges.ca
Customer Contact Centre at 1-888-892-2228.
10. Medical Criteria
Some programs require students to meet cer-
tain medical and health criteria. Confirmed
applicants in these programs receive a package
of information by mail. Students must submit
completed forms by the deadline indicated
and meet all medical criteria. These are nec-
essary for clinical/field placement. Failure to
meet criteria could result in cancellation of the
admission offer.
11. Conditional Offer of Admission
Conditional offers of admission are made to
applicants who are in the process of complet-
ing program-required courses. A conditional
offer means a place in the program is being
held; however, the offer must be confirmed
before the deadline indicated on the letter.
Selection benchmarks and all other conditions
must be satisfied before the offer is finalized. A
conditional offer of admission will be rescinded
if the Registrars Office does not receive final
transcripts showing successful completion of
the requirements before the start of the pro-
gram as stated on the conditional offer of
admission.
12 . Wait List
A wait list is established when the number
of acceptable applicants exceeds the number
of spaces available in the program. As space
becomes available in the program, confirmed
wait-list applicants are moved into the program
based on academic strength and the date on
which ontariocolleges.ca received the applica-
tion. Wait-list confirmations must be mailed
directly to the College. If the wait-list offer is
conditional, the applicant should continue his
or her studies in order to meet the program
benchmarks in the event he/she is moved into
the program.
13. Language Requirements
Applicants must be able to receive instruction
and respond in English (except for English
Language Studies applicants). For most
diploma and certificate programs (exclud-
ing Practical Nursing and Hearing Instrument
Specialist), applicants with transcripts from
institutions where the language of instruction
is not English must demonstrate English lan-
guage proficiency with a minimum test score
on one of the following language proficiency
tests or equivalent scores from another interna-
tionally recognized English language test:
- IELTS overall band of 6 with no band less
than 5.5
- TOEFL iBT 80
- CAEL 70 with minimum 60 writing, no sub-test
band score less than 30
Applicants with transcripts from institutions
where the language of instruction is not
English who are applying to a graduate cer-
tificate program (except TESL*), a degree pro-
gram, the Practical Nursing diploma program,
or the Hearing Instrument Specialist diploma
program, must demonstrate English language
proficiency with a minimum test score on one
of the following language proficiency tests or
equivalent scores from another internationally
recognized English language test:
- IELTS overall band of 6.5 with no band less
than 6.0
- TOEFL iBT 88
- CAEL 70, no sub-test band score less
than 60
- CAAT D 65%
*See TESL program information for language
proficiency scores on individual program pages.
14. Priority for Consideration
Where eligible applicants exceed the number
of program spaces, priority order for consid-
eration is: (a) Ontario permanent residents,
(b) permanent residents of other Canadian
provinces/territories, and (c) applicants from
other countries.
15. International (Student Visa) Applicants
International (student visa) applicants must
meet requirements established by Immigration
Canada.
16. Course Exemptions
Course exemptions may be possible for accept-
ed students upon submission of official tran-
scripts.
17. Advanced Standing Offer of Admission
An advanced standing offer of admission is
the admission of a student into a program in
a semester beyond semester one based upon
previous post-secondary learning and/or life
and work experience. Applicants applying for
advanced standing from a similar program
at another post-secondary institution must
include an official transcript with their ontario-
colleges.ca application. Be aware that specific
course requirements in similar programs may
vary from college to college.
18. Transfer of Credit
Conestoga recognizes that applicants to pro-
grams may possess a variety of backgrounds,
experiences, and formal education qualifi-
cations. Learning can occur in all aspects of
life. This procedure pertaining to advanced
standing and transfer credit ensures that pro-
gram standards are met. Students applying to
a Conestoga certificate, graduate certificate,
diploma, advanced diploma or degree program
(whether by bridging or not) fall under this
procedure.
Courses successfully completed in post-sec-
ondary institutions will be recognized when
appropriate documentation is provided and
equivalency is established. In this regard,
responsibility for assessment and recognition
of equivalency rests with the academic team.
When a Conestoga course number is identical,
credit will automatically be granted and the
grade achieved will stand.
Note: Conestoga reserves the right to limit the
time that a course will be considered current
and therefore eligible for credit transfer. This
will be determined by the academic team at
the time of application for credit. The maximum
credit allowed through transfer of credits and
credits obtained through transfer of credits and
credits earned through Recognition of Prior
Learning (RPL) is 75% of the program credits.
Therefore, at least 25% of the program credits
must be taken under the direct supervision of
Conestoga faculty.
Credit transfer for degree programs follows
Post-Secondary Education Quality Assessment
Board (PEQAB) guidelines and standards.
19. Application for Readmission
Students are required to apply for readmis-
sion when they have been absent from their
program for one semester or longer unless an
Intention Form has been completed (returning
students only), or when they have withdrawn
or been discontinued.
Upon readmission, students are placed into the
current program of study, which determines
graduation requirements. Students are subject
to the College and program policies and proce-
dures in place at the time of readmission.
Students applying for readmission to semester
one (Level 1) must do so through ontariocol-
leges.ca. Students applying for readmission
to a level beyond Level 1 must do so using a
Conestoga College Program Application Form.
Applicable fees will be charged. The application
for readmission will be reviewed based on the
students academic eligibility, program read-
mission requirements, and space availability.
The student will be informed in writing of the
decision.
20. Oversubscribed Programs
A program is considered oversubscribed when
there are more qualified applications than seats
available in the program. Most oversubscribed
programs do not accept applications later than
February 1. Many oversubscribed programs are
full after the first roundof admissiondecisions are
made. This means that admission decisions are
based on the marks available in early February.
This may be a combination of final grades in
required courses, mid-term grades in required
courses, or marks fromrelevant grade 11 courses.
If the programis full prior to the College receiving
second semester mid-term grades, we will NOT
re-calculate the academic strength based on the
second semester grades. However, we will use
available second semester grades to determine
the position on the wait list of applicants who
have received a wait list offer.
The following programs are usually consid-
ered oversubscribed: Paramedic, Respiratory
Therapy, Practical Nursing, Pre-Health Sciences,
Nursing B.Sc.N. (McMaster), Diploma
Registered Practical Nurse to B.Sc.N. (McMaster),
Electrical Technician Industrial (Co-op), and
Powerline Technician (Co-op).
21. Full-Time/Part-Time
A student is considered to be full-time if regis-
tered for at least 70% of the program hours, or
66 2/3% of the program courses in the current
registration, and will receive no reduction in
fees.

meeting. The external adviser will not have
formal status nor be allowed to make any
presentation.
The applicants attendance at the hearing in
person is not required. However, he/she may
make an oral presentation in addition to his/
her written submission. At the appeal hear-
ing both the applicant and a representative
of the program may present oral arguments
in support of their respective positions. After
the presentation of arguments, the panel will
meet in camera to consider the facts and to
render a decision. The decision will include
a written explanation of the reasons for the
decision and will be communicated in writing
within FIVE (5) WORKING DAYS to the appli-
cant, Vice-President, Executive Dean, Chair
and Associate Registrar, Admissions. The deci-
sion of the panel is final and binding.

cant, and the pertinent program no longer has
seats available, alternatives will be investigat-
ed. Under no circumstances will the findings
of the panel disadvantage a student already
admitted to Conestoga. All documents used
by the panel will be delivered to the Office of
the Registrar.

HISTORY OF CONESTOGA
Established in 1967, Conestoga College
initially offered 17 full-time programs to 188
students in technology, business and ap-
plied arts in temporary structures located in
Kitchener at what is now the Doon campus.
Expanding in 1969 to include operations in
Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph and Stratford,
Conestoga increased program offerings to
include nursing and early childhood educa-
tion.
Permanent buildings in Guelph were added
in 1970 along with an Early Childhood
Education Centre at the Doon campus.
Nursing programs were relocated from hos-
pital sites in Kitchener and Guelph to a new
wing at the Doon campus.
By 1980, Conestoga had grown significantly
to include a new Recreation Centre at its
Doon campus. Construction would also begin
on the world-class Woodworking Centre of
Ontario. The campus expansion also included
a major academic reorganization resulting
in the formation of the School of Applied
Arts, the School of Business, the School
of Engineering Technology, the School of
Health Sciences and Community Services
and the School of Trades and Apprenticeship.
Conestoga is one of Canadas leaders in
polytechnic education, offering more than
180 diplomas, degrees and apprenticeship
programs as well as 95 part-time continu-
ing education programs at locations across
southern Ontario including Kitchener,
Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, Stratford,
Ingersoll and Brantford.
The largest expansion in the history of the
College began in 2009. With the support of
federal, provincial and regional governments,
industry partners, alumni and friends of the
college, Conestoga has recently completed
a number of major infrastructure projects to
serve the needs of students, industries, and
the community. These projects include:
- a new campus in Cambridge that is home
to the School of Engineering and Information
Technology as well as the Craig Richardson
Institute for Food Processing Technology
- a new facility at Doon that provides
Conestoga students with the most realistic
and advanced applied learning environment
for health skills training in Ontario
- two new centres for the Waterloo campus
that provide advanced skills training featur-
ing Ontarios most innovative internal and
external training environments - the Roofing
Training Centre and the HRAC (Heating,
Refrigeration & Air Conditioning) Training
Centre
- a Skills Training Centre in Ingersoll that
provides training for workers in the electrical
utilities powerline field, as well as energy and
skilled trades programs that complement
the industry
- a Motive Power Skills Training Centre in
Guelph that provides advanced training for
new century technicians in the areas of truck
and coach, automobiles, engines, recreation-
al vehicles and heavy equipment.

Conestoga is Ontarios fastest growing col-
lege, with an enrolment increase of more
than 60 per cent from 2006 to 2012. It is
consistently ranked among Ontarios top col-
leges for graduate employment as well as
graduate and employer satisfaction.
With 11,000 full-time students, 35,000 part-
time students and close to 90,000 alumni,
Conestoga is committed to serving the needs
of individuals and businesses in our growing
community. According to a recent study,
close to half of the adults in the region have
participated in the colleges education and
training programs, and our graduates con-
tribute more than $1.3 billion each year to
the local economy.
