Dear Students,

At SELC College, we are committed to providing you with a quality education and a positive learning environment. However, this commitment must be shared by both the College and our students.

Recently, we have experienced concerning situations involving students arriving late, missing scheduled classes, and, in some cases, entire classes being absent without prior communication.

This is unacceptable and must change.

Our instructors dedicate their time, knowledge, and effort to preparing and delivering your classes. When students fail to attend without communicating, it demonstrates a lack of consideration for the instructor, their classmates, and the educational opportunity they have been given.

Effective immediately, we expect every student to:

1. Attend all scheduled classes and arrive on time.

2. Notify the appropriate College representative as soon as possible when unable to attend.

3. Take responsibility for missed lessons, assignments, and academic requirements.

4. Treat instructors, classmates, and College staff with professionalism and respect.

5. Understand that attendance is monitored and that repeated or unexplained absences may result in action under SELC College's attendance and academic policies.

A reminder about professionalism:

Whether you are studying Health Care, Child Care, Business, Hospitality, or any other program, the habits you develop as a student reflect the professional you are becoming.

In the workplace, failing to show up without communicating can have serious consequences. The same principles of accountability, reliability, and respect begin here.

We understand that personal challenges and unexpected situations can happen, and we encourage you to communicate with us when you need support.

However, not attending class without communicating is not an acceptable solution.

We ask all students to take this reminder seriously and demonstrate the commitment expected of members of the SELC College community.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Warm regards,

Cynthia Horton
Campus Director
SELC College

Attending Orientation does not give you an additional day off from classes.

We look forward to welcoming our new students and reconnecting with our continuing students!

📢 Campus Update – Let's Keep SELC Clean & Welcoming! 💛

Dear Students,

We would like to share a quick update and a friendly reminder about taking care of our shared campus spaces.

🚻 Ladies' Washroom

We are aware of the unpleasant odour in the ladies' washroom and are actively working to identify and resolve the issue. Thank you to those who brought it to our attention! We appreciate your patience and understanding while we address it.

🍽️ Student Kitchen & Common Areas

Our campus is a space we all share, and a little care from each of us goes a long way in keeping it comfortable and enjoyable for everyone.

A few friendly reminders:

• Microwave: Please wipe up any spills or food splatters after use.

• Refrigerator: Keep food properly stored and remember to remove leftovers or expired items.

• Dishes: Please wash, dry and put away your dishes after using them.

• Tables & Counters: Leave them clean and ready for the next person.

💛 Small Actions Make a Big Difference!

We all appreciate having a clean and welcoming campus, and maintaining it is a team effort between our students, staff and cleaning team.

Thank you for doing your part and for helping make SELC a pleasant place to study, connect and spend time together!

Warmly,
Cynthia Horton
Campus Director
