An articulation agreement is a formal, systematic, written collaboration
between two institutions designed to identify block transfer credits and to
clarify requirements to facilitate student transfers between the two
institutions. These agreements are approved by the Maritime Provinces
Higher Education Commission and are regularly updated to reflect any
changes in curriculum or requirements at the institutions involved.
The Faculty of Business at UNBSJ offers articulated programs in
Accounting, Electronic Commerce, General Business and Hospitality and
Tourism leading to The Bachelor of Applied Management (BAM). Students
first earn a diploma from a participating community college and then enter
the third year of the BAM at UNBSJ.
2014-2015 Calendar Proof
The BAM in Hospitality and Tourism also offers a high school entry option
whereby students attend UNBSJ in their first year, transfer to the New
Brunswick Community College in St. Andrew’s for their second year and
return to UNBSJ to complete the final two years of the degree.
The programs are designed to offer students the opportunity to experience
two very different types of learning environments while they develop
proficiency in both the theoretical and applied areas of their chosen
fields.
I. University Regulations on Admission and Academic Regulations
Students are strongly advised to read the General University Regulations,
Section B of this Calendar, and in particular the subsection headed "Grading
System and Classification". The General University Regulations will govern
any point not covered in the regulations that follow. Questions concerning
the application of regulations should be directed to the Registrar.
II. BAM Regulations for Students in the Degree Programs
A. Grading and Classification
The regulations in respect to the BAM degree are expressed in terms of letter
grades, credit hours and grade point averages. These are explained in Section
B of the Calendar. In order to take a BA or HTM course that has a
prerequisite, student must earn a C or better in the prerequisite course(s),
regardless of the program in which the student is registered.
Note: A
grade of C or better is necessary in all required and elective courses
(including work term reports, where applicable). A grade of D or better is
necessary for all options.
B. Credit Hours
The number of credit hours assigned each course is stated in Section F of
this Calendar. (In most cases the Faculty of Business assigns a 6 chs weight
to a two-term course and a 3 chs weight to a term course). Due to differences
in the methods used by the various Faculties in the calculation of credit
hours, students who elect to register for courses taught outside of the Faculty
of Business should note the following:
2014-2015 Calendar Proof
1. For purposes of the BAM degree, any course taught outside of the Faculty
of Business, which has a course number ending in zero (0) and which
is taught over the full academic year, will receive the number of credit
hours normally assigned by the Faculty in which the course is taught,
up to a maximum of 6.
2. For purposes of the BAM degree, any course taught outside of the Faculty
of Business, which has a course number ending in other than zero (0)
and which is offered in one term of the academic year, will receive the
number of credit hours normally assigned by the Faculty in which the
course is taught, up to a maximum of 3. Normally courses of less than
3 credit hours will not be considered for credit.
3. Students may take up to 3 one-credit hour courses of an academic nature
during their program.
C. Grade Point Average
1. See Section B of this Calendar for detailed regulations on standing and
promotion requirements.
2. A student who has been registered in the BAM program and who
withdrew while on probation or who was required to withdraw from
the program will not be eligible to re-enter the program without the
approval of the Faculty of Business.
3. To earn the BAM degree, a student must successfully complete at least 60
chs in approved courses at UNB and must achieve a minimum grade
of C in all courses designated as required or elective.
D. Transfer Students
The University regulations in respect to students transferring to the BAM
degree program from another UNB degree program and students transferring
to UNB from another university or post-secondary institution are stated in
the General Regulations of the University.
Course credits may only be transferred from another university when the
grade is equivalent to at least a C at UNB.
At least half the credit hours for the BAM degree must be taken at UNB and
must normally include all the required courses in the BAM degree program.
(Students may be permitted to take some of these courses elsewhere with the
prior permission of the Faculty of Business and the Registrar.)
2014-2015 Calendar Proof
E. Changes in Degree Requirements
Improvements in the BAM program
may lead to changes in the requirements for the degree. The University
reserves the right to require candidates already enrolled to meet the revised
requirements.
F. Normal Course Loads
The normal course load for students in the BAM
program will be five courses per term. Students with a cumulative gpa of at
least 2. 5 may, with the written permission of the Manager of Undergraduate
Programs or the Assistant Dean, take a maximum of six courses in a given
term.
G. Repeating Courses
A student who fails to obtain a grade of C or better
in a required course must retake the course as soon as it becomes available
during a session in which the student is in attendance.
A student may take
a course a maximum of three times (including Ws but excluding courses
which are designated with the “#” notation). Beyond that, the student must
obtain the permission of the Dean of the student’s Faculty to register again
in the repeated course. See University Regulations section I. E
H. Course Requirements
Students are responsible for ensuring that
they meet all the requirements specified for the degree. These include the
minimum credit hour requirements, minimum grade point averages,
minimum grades in specified courses, successful completion of all
specifically required courses, and compliance with the restrictions on
elective and option courses.
Students are advised to consult Saint John Courses section of this Calendar
for detailed course descriptions, including the number of credit hours
assigned to each course.
I. Minors and Concentrations
1. Minors in specific business or hospitality and tourism disciplines are not
offered. The Faculty of Business will accept all minors as laid out by
the offering faculty except as noted below. Students should note that
pursuing a minor may require them to complete more than the
minimum number of credit hours required for the BAM degree.
Compulsory or required courses in a student’s degree program
normally may not form part of the Minor.

degree program normally may not form part of the concentration.

is designed to add value to students’ degrees by allowing for participation in
the activities required to complete the certificate program. These
requirements will include academic course work available as part of the
degree program as well as community volunteerism and professional

opportunity to differentiate themselves from other business graduates
through professional development, leadership growth, community
involvement and networking activities.
