Students must achieve and adhere to certain course and program criteria and requirements in order to progress and be promoted in their program of study.
Note: In addition to the above requirements, each academic program may have program specific requirements for passing grades, progression, probation, and withdrawal. It is the student’s responsibility to review the academic requirements for her/his specific program.
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.
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).

TGPA - Term Grade Point Average
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.
Promotion and progression requirements are based on the principle that students must achieve a cumulative program grade point average (CPGPA) of 65% to be eligible to graduate. Continuation of full-time study within a program is permitted provided the standards of academic performance listed below are met.

When students are required to withdraw for academic reasons, they are eligible for re-admission following a period of two consecutive terms.
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.
Programs may have additional program and progression requirements due to industry/sector accreditation. As a result a student may be required to withdraw from their program for not meeting these additional program specific requirements. If a student is Required to Withdraw from the Program (RTWP), they will not be considered for readmission to the same program, or a program with close affinity, for a period of two (2) consecutive terms. Following the two (2) consecutive terms and after participating in academic advising, the student may be granted readmission to the program at the discretion of the Associate Dean. The student may apply and be admitted to a different program at Humber prior to completing the withdrawal period of two (2) consecutive terms.
Students whose studies have been considerably interrupted will be required to petition the Office of the Registrar or the Associate Dean for their program if they desire to continue studies in the same program. There are two categories of readmission to a program of study: Readmission for Interrupted Students in Good Standing, and Readmission for Interrupted Students Required to Withdraw. In all cases, students who will be entering semester 1 of a program are also required to apply through www.ontariocolleges.ca.
Students who let their registration in courses lapse but have successfully completed previous semesters and are in good academic standing include the following:
Students whose studies have been interrupted but who remain in good academic standing must apply to resume studies using the Readmission for Interrupted Students in Good Academic Standing form. This form is available from the Office of the Registrar. Students must apply to be readmitted to their program of study by certain deadlines. See the Office of the Registrar and the Academic Calendar for deadline details. Requests for readmission received after the deadline will be considered only if there is space in the program.
Particular readmission requirements for each credential can be found in Chart 2: Conditions of Interruption to Studies.
Students who have been required to withdraw for academic reasons include the following:
Students who have been required to withdraw from their program will not be considered for readmission to a program in a related discipline for a period of two (2) consecutive terms. Students must reapply to the program using the Readmission for Students Required to Withdraw form. This form is available from the Office of the Registrar. Students must apply to be readmitted to their program of study by certain deadlines. See the Office of the Registrar and the Academic Calendar for deadline details. Requests for readmission received after the deadline will be considered only if there is space in the program. Details of the process for applying for readmission can be found under the heading, Process of Applying for Readmission, which follows in this section.
In circumstances where a student was involuntarily withdrawn a further review may be required prior to readmission. In such a review, an applicant may be required to submit a résumé and letter of reference from a current work or volunteer position and a personal letter outlining the student’s strategies to be successful in the program.
Particular readmission requirements for each credential can be found in Chart 2: Conditions of Interruption to Studies. A student who interrupts her/his studies and applies for readmission is subject to the admission requirements, ranking priority, and curriculum requirements for the program in question at the time of application for readmission. Students may be required to repeat courses if the curriculum has changed since their previous registration in the program.
Students are required to apply for readmission to their program when the following conditions apply to the interruption of their studies.
