11.2 Academic Standing

Academic standing is calculated for full-time students (nine credits or more) at the end of each academic term.Academic standing is calculated for part-time students taking less than nine credits in any given term after the completion of every nine credits.

A student, who has been required to withdraw for academic reasons, will not be considered for readmission to a program for a period of two (2) consecutive terms.  After participating in academic advising regarding the return, the student may be granted readmission into the same program at the discretion of the Associate Dean of the program.

Certificate, Diploma, and Ontario Graduate Certificate Programs

Promotion and progression requirements are based on the principle that students must achieve a Cumulative Program Grade Point Average (CPGPA) of 60% to be eligible to graduate. Continuation of full-time study within a program is based on the academic achievement within the most recent term of study and based on Term Grade Point Average (TGPA).

Students in semester one will be subject to the following progression rules:

When students are required to withdraw for academic reasons, they are eligible for re-admission following a period of two consecutive terms. In some cases, students may be recommended to an Interim semester program or allowed to study part-time after being required to withdraw. Students who have been required to withdraw for academic reasons will be placed on probation when they resume study and must clear the probationary requirements in order to continue to study.  Failure to clear the probationary status at the end of the first term following readmission will result in permanent withdrawal from the program.

Students in a work term with no additional academic classes will be assigned the Academic Standing from the term immediately preceding the work term.
