Monitoring & Accountability
Monitoring & Accountability
The Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government (LMG) and the Listuguj Education Directorate (LED) is committed to student success by monitoring progress within academic programs. Regular evaluations and follow-ups are required to ensure the student is meeting the satisfactory academic standards.
5.1 Satisfactory Academic Standing
All students must maintain Satisfactory Academic Standing, as per the institute’s definition. Failure to do so will result in probation or termination of funding.
Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government (LMG) and Listuguj Education, Directorate (LED) defines satisfactory standing as a minimum of 50% or greater successful completions of registered courses in any given semester. (For example, if a student is registered in 5 courses, they must be successful in at least 3 courses to avoid probation.)
5.2 Probation & Cessation
Probation is intended to help students succeed. Students on Probation remain eligible for support.
If a student fails to maintain Satisfactory Academic Standing in a semester they may be placed on Probation for the following semester. Students will be notified of their probation in writing after review of their grades and/or transcript after each term/semester. During Probation, the PS Manager may request updates on progress.
5.2.1 Failure to achieve Satisfactory Academic Standing
If a student is unable to maintain Satisfactory Academic Standing for a period of two consecutive semesters, or has dropped out before end date, all funding support will be terminated, and the student will be placed on cessation. If a student is placed on cessation, they will not be eligible for funding for a period of one (1) year. After the year has passed, a minimum of 3 appointments must be made with an LMDC career councillor before reapplying for school.
5.3 Student Debt
When a student receives funding for which they know they are not entitled, the student must return the funding to the Listuguj Education, Directorate (LED)/Listuguj Mi’gmaq Government (LMG). Such funds will be considered a debt to the LMG.
Debts are incurred when a student has withdrawn from an academic program, and has not notified the PS Manager and continues to accept living allowance payments, or if a student is advanced any funding to purchase textbooks and does not submit any proof of payment or receipts.
If a debt has been incurred;
The student will be required to reimburse all funding support received or funds paid in relation to their file for the period which the activity occurred
A student who does not repay their debt to LMG will not be eligible for funding until the debt is paid in full or a debt arrangement has been agreed upon by the PS Manager and student.
