STANDING REQUIRED FOR CONTINUATION
IN PROGRAMS (taken from on-line calendar)
1)The requirements for continuation "in good
standing" are as follows, unless otherwise
specified in the program section of the calendar:
A cumulative G.P.A. of 5.0 and a major G.P.A. of
5.0 in all General and Honours B.A., [except for
the Concurrent B.A. French Studies
honours)/B.Ed.],
2) An appropriate Academic Standing Committee
within each Faculty reviews the academic record
of each student and makes academic decisions
as appropriate in light of the cumulative and
major averages achieved. In most programs this
evaluation occurs at the conclusion of the Winter
term. In certain programs (such as Co-operative
Education programs), this evaluation may occur
at the conclusion of any term, depending upon
the structure of the program.
3) A student will automatically be placed on
probation if he/she has not met the minimum
cumulative and major average requirements at
the end of any term in which his/her record is not
being formally reviewed,
4) A student's record will be referred to an
appropriate Academic Standing Committee within
the Faculty for decision if he/she has not met the
minimum cumulative or major average at the end
of the term when the record is being reviewed.
(a) If the cumulative and major average
requirements are 5.0 and if the student has
achieved an average between 4.0 and 4.9, the
student normally will be allowed to continue on
probation until the next evaluation period. By the
subsequent evaluation period both the cumulative
and major averages must be raised to at least a 5.0
or the student may be required to withdraw from the
program.
(b) If the major average requirement is 8.0 and if the
student has achieved a major average below 8.0,
the student will be placed on probation and will be
allowed to continue on probation until the next
evaluation period. By the subsequent evaluation
period the major average must be raised to at least

Required to withdraw
At the end of each Winter term, the
Academic Standing Committee of the
Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences
reviews the academic record of each
student within the Faculty whose
cumulative average and/or major
average is below 5.0 (C-) and makes
academic decisions as appropriate.
Any student with a cumulative average
and/or major average less than 5.0 (C-)
will normally be required to withdraw,
except for first year students that have
only been at the University for two
semesters. First year students that
have only been here for two semesters
will normally be allowed to continue on
academic probation if their cumulative
average is between 4.0 and 4.9. Any
student with a cumulative average
between 4.0 and 4.9 will normally be
allowed to continue on academic
probation through a second year. By
the end of that time, their average must
be in good standing.
