The Department of Mathematics and Statistics requires that students always maintain at least a 70% average. Term courses in which a grade of at least 70% has been earned will be accepted for graduate credit. Term courses with a grade lower than 60% will not be accepted for graduate credit. 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.
