At most two term courses with grades in the 60% - 69.9% range will be accepted for credit subject to the approval of the Faculty of Graduate Studies after a positive recommendation from the Department’s Graduate Studies Committee upon consultation with the Director of the Master of Actuarial Science program. This recommendation will be given on a case by case basis.
