(c) four Science courses at the 300 level or above which satisfy the Major requirements for a degree program of the Department or School in the Faculty of Science that offers the courses.

Other requirements: 12 courses
(a) four courses from Arts/Languages and Social Sciences, with at least one from each, and
 (b) eight courses from any area of study excluding 55-100, 55-101, 59-100, 59-191, 59-201, 62-101, 62-102, 62-194, 66-110 and 66-111'

Calculation of Major Average
Consistent with the University of Windsor regulations, the major average is calculated from the grades of all Science courses, excluding the grades obtained in the following courses that cannot be used to fulfill the major requirements in the Department or School offering the course: 41-200, 41-201, 55-100, 55-101, 55-212, 59-100, 59-191, 59-201, 59-232, 59-263, 60-207, 60-209, 60-270, 60-305, 60-307, 66-110, 66-111, 66-210, 66-213, 66-214, 62-101, 62-102, 62-194, 64-114, 64-190, 64-191, 64-202, 64-203 and 66-201.

Note: 60-104 or 60-106 and 60-205 count as a ‘science pair’ (see requirement Major (b) above) and will be included in the calculation of the major average.


Standing Required for Continuation in the B.Sc. (General Science) Program

1) the minimum requirement for continuation "in good standing" in the General Science program is a minimum cumulative average of 60% and a minimum average of 60% in the required Science courses of this program.

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 60%, but the other is between 55% and 59.9% (or if both averages are between 55% and 59.9%), 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 60% or the student will be required to withdraw.
(b) If both averages are below 55%, the student normally will be required to withdraw.
(c) If only one average is below 55%, 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 60% 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.

Standing Required for Graduation from the B.Sc. (General Science) Program

In order to graduate from the B.Sc. (General Science) program, a student must obtain a minimum cumulative average of 60% in all courses and a minimum average of 60% in all required Faculty of Science courses in this program. Students receiving the B.Sc. (General Science) degree will have the designation, "General Science" respectively indicated on their transcripts.

Bachelor of Science (General Science) Degree Completion Program

This program is for graduates of a College diploma program in Medical Laboratory Technology (Science) and can be completed by Flexible Learning. Students admitted to this program should seek academic counselling in the Faculty of Science Office.
