²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½

The Dean's List recognizes the outstanding achievement of students in the Faculty. It is compiled annually at the end of the Winter Term. To qualify for the Dean's List, a student must achieve a grade point average of 3.60 or higher over all courses taken in the preceding Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter Terms on:

(a) A minimum of four and one-half full-course equivalents, or

(b) A minimum of four full-course equivalents plus one Co-op work placement, or

(c) A minimum of two full-course equivalents plus two Co-op work placements. A statement of inclusion on the Dean's List will be recorded on the student's transcript.

The progress of students registered in the Faculty is monitored at least once per year after Winter Term.  Students will be required to withdraw if they have accumulated a total of more than five full-course equivalent withdrawals while in attendance at the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½.

The academic standing of students registered in the Faculty will be reviewed after each Winter Term provided that they have completed at least 3.0 full course equivalents at the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ since their previous review.  (Students who have not completed three FCEs since the previous review will retain their existing status until the next subsequent review.)  All ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ credit courses, which have been completed since the previous review, are used for the purpose of academic review.  Students placed on academic probation or required to withdraw as a result of the academic performance review will be so advised in writing.

Notwithstanding the specific regulations pertaining to Student Standing, students’ academic standing may be reviewed at any time and those with generally poor academic records may be placed or continued on academic probation or required to withdraw at the discretion of the Dean’s delegate.

(a) Will retain that standing if they have achieved a GPA of at least 2.00 over all courses taken since the previous review;

(b) Will be required to withdraw if they have achieved a GPA less then 2.00 over all courses taken since their previous review and they have a probationary period within the last five years.  (Probationary periods that have occurred in excess of five years previous will not be counted).

(c) Will be placed on academic probation if they have achieved a GPA of at least 1.70 but less than 2.00 over all courses taken since their previous review and have not been on academic probation within the preceding five years;

(d) Will be required to withdraw from the Faculty if they have achieved a GPA of less than 1.70 over all courses taken since their previous review.

(a) Will be reinstated in satisfactory standing if they have achieved a GPA of at least 2.00 over all courses taken since their previous review;

(b) Will be required to withdraw from the Faculty if they have achieved a GPA of less than 2.00 over all courses taken since their previous review.

• Students who have been required to withdraw for unsatisfactory academic performance may be considered for readmission after 12 or more months have elapsed since the date of dismissal.
• Applicants must apply by the deadlines stated in the current Calendar and meet the current admission requirements of the program to which they are seeking admission.
• Readmission is not guaranteed.
• Students should note that it is not normally possible to be readmitted without taking courses to meet the admission average.

Students so readmitted must maintain a grade point average of at least 2.00 on all courses taken in each academic review period after readmission. Failure to do so will result in permanent dismissal from the Faculty of Social Sciences. Students who have twice been required to withdraw from one or more Faculties at this or any other institution will not normally be considered for admission at any time.
