Continuation of Study
Students are advised to consult the regulations for continuation of study within the program which are outlined in detail in Section VII--Undergraduate Degree Regulations & Procedures.
Conditions for Graduation
Schedules 1 and 2
In order to qualify for graduation from the honours program, the student must fulfill all program requirements and have achieved 60%, or higher, cumulative average in all course attempts.
Note: A student registered in an honours program who has successfully completed all required courses and the specified total number of credits for the program but does not have a cumulative average of 60%, or higher, may apply to graduate from the general program.
Co-operative Education Program
Admission to the Co-operative Education program may be granted on entry to the University or by application normally before the conclusion of Semester 2. Application forms can be obtained from the appropriate faculty co-op advisor. In-course students will need to complete successfully an interview in the appropriate department. Students must be either a Canadian Citizen or Permanent Resident. A cumulative average of 70% is required in courses taken in Semesters 1 and 2 to permit continuation in the program.
Conditions for Graduation from the B.Sc. Co-operative Education Program
Conditions for graduation are the same as the corresponding regular B.Sc. program. In addition, all work reports and work performance evaluations must have a grade of satisfactory or better.
