1. Students must complete all courses with a minimum passing grade of B-. This includes all required courses, elective courses, corequisite courses, prerequisite courses, and courses outside the program to which the student has been admitted. Students will be allowed to fail no more than two courses. On the third failure, students will be asked to withdraw from the program immediately. In this context, an unsatisfactory grade is deemed to be any grade below that of a B-. Please note that even if an unsatisfactory grade is improved by means of repetition of the course(s), the original grade remains on the student's record and counts toward the total number of unsatisfactory grades.
2. Students have a maximum of four years to complete the Diploma in Management.

Special Students must meet all academic and language requirements stipulated by the School of Continuing Studies (SCS) and must complete all courses, including corequisite and prerequisite courses, with a minimum passing grade of B-. Students will be permitted a maximum of two unsatisfactory grades on their academic record. Students who obtain three unsatisfactory grades will be asked to withdraw from the SCS immediately. In this context, an unsatisfactory grade is deemed to be any grade below that of a B-. Please note that even if an unsatisfactory grade is improved by means of repetition of the course(s), the original grade remains on the student's record and counts toward the total number of unsatisfactory grades.

Students who fail to comply with the minimum standards set by the SCS may not continue in their program, may not take courses as a Special Student, and will have their registration cancelled. Once a student is asked to withdraw he/she will not be permitted to register in other courses or programs in the SCS, nor will they be permitted to exercise deferral privileges for the following term.

Ã山ǿ¼é's School of Continuing Studies affirms the right of students to dispute substantive or procedural academic matters, including decisions about the student's continuation in a program. Students may likewise dispute decisions that concern the application of academic regulations and requirements to students. A formal academic appeal must be made in writing directly to the School of Continuing Studies Appeal Committee. This request must be accompanied by supporting documentation which substantiates reinstatement.

For a single diploma requiring 30 credits, the program must be completed within four years of initial registration. For a single graduate certificate program requiring 15 credits, the program must be completed within two years of initial registration. Time limits will be adjusted accordingly for those students who are granted Advanced Standing, or who transfer from one program to another. Students exceeding the time limits may request an extension, in writing, to the graduate adviser. A recommended revision of the program of study must be approved by the Director.

Students who do not register for a course in their program for one year will be required to reapply, pay the application fee and meet any new program requirements.

Corequisite

This refers to academic requirements that may be completed before or concurrently. Corequisite courses must be respected for all courses – including all courses for which deferrals (L) have been granted.

Corequisites for Programs

Certain programs require specific corequisites. These may be completed after admission to the program. It is highly recommended that students complete all corequisite courses for a program at the beginning of the program. Please note that all program corequisites must be completed in order to graduate from the program.

Prerequisites for Courses

Admission to certain courses is restricted to students who have reached a certain level of knowledge by having completed other required work. In course terminology, this means that Course A is prerequisite to Course B if a satisfactory pass in Course A is required for admission to Course B. The prerequisite course(s) or conditions are specified in the course descriptions. Students must observe these prerequisites. If you fail to meet the prerequisite requirement, you will be denied permission to register in the course. Students unsure of their status with regard to a prerequisite must inquire at the School of Continuing Studies. Prerequisite courses must be completed prior to course registration - including all courses for which deferrals (L) have been granted. Therefore, students are required to drop all courses in which they have obtained a grade of D, F, L, or J in the prerequisite and re-register for the prequisite and corequisite course(s) as required.

Required Courses

Programs may frequently comprise a number of required courses. In course terminology these represent mandatory courses that must be completed to fulfil the requirements of a program unless the student receives an exemption(s).

Complementary Courses

Programs may comprise a number of complementary courses. These are courses selected from a restricted list, a particular subject area, or a discipline. In some programs, students must include a number of these complementary courses to meet program requirements.

Course Load

A failure is defined as being a grade less than B- (65%).

Information Sessions

Information sessions will be held throughout the year. Please refer to the School of Continuing Studies website for the precise dates. These sessions will give you an opportunity to learn more about specific programs and courses. Academic advisers and Academic Program Coordinators will be available at these sessions to provide you with details on program requirements, admission procedures, etc. We urge you to attend these sessions if you are planning to take courses in the upcoming term.
