Program Approval

Students are advised that program approval is required under the following circumstances:

If your category is SPECIAL or PROBATIONARY -- see your program counsellor for approval during the course selection periods or when adding/dropping courses; or
f you wish to register for more than the normal number of credits -- see your program counsellor for approval; or
If you are adding or changing a program -- see your departmental advisor for that Associate Diploma program (usually a faculty member).

Note

It is the program counsellor's responsibility to change a student from "Special" or "Probationary" to "Regular" category (see Section VIII--Associate Diploma Regulations and Procedures for definitions of categories.)

Students may find that program approval will be withheld if they do not adhere to the schedule of studies outlined in the Associate Diploma Calendar; or, they are identified either by the Admissions Sub-Committee or the Academic Review Sub-Committee as being "Special" or requiring additional stipulations; or, they have not taken the appropriate prerequisites or corequisites.

Students are cautioned that if their selection of courses does not give evidence of progress toward the completion of the conditions for graduation in their program, they may be required by the Academic Review Sub-Committee of their program to fulfill specific conditions for continuation in the program.

Note

A term academic standing is assigned according to the requirements of the Continuation of Study policy (see "Student Type" Section VIII--Associate Diploma Regulations and Procedures, for definitions of categories.) A student whose term academic standing is Required to Withdraw according to the requirements of the Continuation of Study policy may have their term academic standing changed to "probation" as a result of a Request for Academic Consideration.
