Program Policies

Academic Standing and Advancement Policy

To be in good standing and to register unconditionally, students must meet the requirements of the College Academic Standing and Advancement Policy, as well as the program requirements.

College Policy

Academic Standing

To be in good standing and to register unconditionally:

  • Students must have passed more than 50% of their courses for the year
  • (not including summer school).
  • Students admitted in January must pass more than 50% of their courses in that semester.
  • Students must also meet the standards of their particular program.  If that policy is more stringent than the College policy, the Program policy (DEC or AEC) takes precedence.

Students who do not fulfill the above conditions may register only with the permission of the Academic Standing Appeals Committee.

Program Policy

  • Students must complete the program within a maximum of three years of commencement.
  • Students must pass all concentration courses in a semester before advancing to the following semester.
  • Students who fail concentration courses in more than one semester will be expelled from the program.
  • Students must have passed more than 50% of the general education courses (including at least one English) required in the year.

Students who fail to comply with this Standing and Advancement Policy will be expelled from the Program and the College.  Expelled students have the right to appeal the expulsion to the College Academic Standing Appeals Committee.
