Specific courses will vary depending on the program (see below).
1. Students must complete a minimum of four full-course equivalents satisfying departmental requirements. Programs are developed on an individual basis.
2. A grade point average of 3.00 or better is required on the four or five courses on the diploma program. (All courses taken subsequent to admission will be included in the calculation.) A grade below "C" will not be accepted for credit on a diploma program. The program must be completed within four calendar years. Relevant courses taken prior to admission (e.g., as an Open Studies student) may be allowed for credit toward the diploma; however, the date of the first course credited toward the diploma will indicate the commencement of the four-year time limit.
Notes:
1. Students from developing countries or partnered universities may be admitted under contracted agreements.
2. Applicants new to the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ must complete an Application for Admission form and supply official transcripts; former ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ students who have attended during the past year must complete a Change of Program form.
3. Courses credited in a completed diploma may not be used for credit towards the BCR degree or any other graduate degree.
4. Those intending to apply for admission to the Faculty of Graduate Studies are advised that a full-time diploma year will not count as the equivalent of a residence year in the MEd or MSc degree programs.
