What is a passing grade?

The passing grade for each assignment and the final exam is 70%. You must complete and pass both the reflection paper and the final assignment before attempting the final exam. If, on your first attempt, the assignment passing grade has not been met, you may resubmit your assignment one additional time—at the instructor's discretion.

What if I need more time to finish a course?

Life happens and sometimes we just need a little more time. We have you covered! If you need extra time to complete your course you can submit an Extension Request.

What is the BCRSP and why is it important for DOHS?

The Board of Canadian Registered Safety Professionals (BCRSP) sets certification standards for the occupational health and safety profession. Individuals who hold the CRSP® (Canadian Registered Safety Professional®) and/or CRST® (Canadian Registered Safety Technician®) certifications have met academic, experience and examination requirements of a national registration authority.

Completing the Occupational Health and Safety Diploma (DOHS) means that you will meet the formal education requirements for the CRSP® certification. You must still meet the work experience and professional development requirements for this certification.

Are there funding options for DOHS?

Our OHS programs are not recognized by student loans as they are offered asynchronously, without fixed start and end dates. However, you may be able to obtain funding through alternate routes, including:

• UNB Awards and Scholarships
• Student line of credit through your bank
• RESP (Registered Education Savings Plan) or RRSP - you will need to check to see if your registered plan allows for this
• Employment Insurance

Are there sponsorship opportunities for DOHS?

A sponsorship can take many forms. As an example you may be sponsored by your employer, a case manager through a retraining program, or through a third-party group such as WorkSafe.

In order to send a formal invoice to your sponsor, please have your sponsor complete this online Invoice Request Form or email a copy of your PO to our office at customerservice@unb.ca. The PO must have the following information:

• Student's name

• Sponsor's mailing address
• Sponsor's contact name, phone number, and email address

How do I register if I have a sponsor?
