FACULTY OF SCIENCE

STANDING REQUIRED FOR CONTINUATION FOR B.Sc. (GENERAL SCIENCE) DEGREES

1) the minimum requirement for continuation "in good standing" in the General Science program is a cumulative average of 5.0 and an average of 5.0 in the required Science courses of these programs.

2) If a student has not met the minimum cumulative and science course average requirements by the end of the Summer or Fall term, the student automatically will be placed on probation.

3) If, at the end of the Winter term, a student has not met the minimum cumulative and science course average requirements, the student's record will be referred to the Academic Standing Committee for a decision.

(a) If one average is at least 5.0, but the other is between 4.0 and 4.9 (or if both averages are 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 averages must be raised to at least 5.0 or the student will be required to withdraw.

(b) If both averages are below 4.0, the student normally will be required to withdraw.

(c)If only one average is below 4.0, the student may be required to withdraw.

4) A student who has been required to withdraw may not register in the Faculty of Science for twelve months and may not apply for re-admission before the subsequent Summer term. The student must apply for re-admission to the Faculty through the Office of the Registrar by the appropriate deadline date for the term desired and must with the application include a statement of rationale and any documentation of academic success attained elsewhere.

Readmission to the Faculty is not automatic and will be dependent upon the Academic Standing Committee's assessment of the applicant's prospects for successful completion of the program.

If readmitted, the student will be placed on probation and must raise the cumulative and science course averages to 5.0 by the next evaluation period and must satisfy any additional conditions of readmission which may have been imposed. If the student fails to meet such requirements, he or she normally will be required to withdraw.

A student who has been required to withdraw a second time will not be eligible for readmission under any conditions.
