²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ Calendar 2015-2016 Werklund School of Education 3. Werklund School of Education Regulations 3.3 Student Standing and Academic Review
3.3 Student Standing and Academic Review

All students’ academic standing will be reviewed after each term. All ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ credit courses which have been completed since the previous review are used for the academic review.

A student's academic standing may be reviewed at any time at the discretion of the Associate Dean.

Students must have successfully completed all the Year 1 BEd (400-level) courses with a minimum cumulative 2.50 GPA prior to proceeding to Year 2 BEd (500-level) courses.

Students in the second year of the Five-Year BEd (Concurrent) program will not be allowed to proceed into the third year of the program (year one of the BEd) unless they have a minimum cumulative 2.50 GPA and have completed 60 units (10 full-course equivalents).

Satisfactory Academic Standing

Students who have successfully completed all courses with a minimum cumulative 2.50 GPA are in satisfactory academic standing.

Unsatisfactory Academic Standing

Students are referred to section F.7 on Unsatisfactory Standing in the Academic Regulations section of this Calendar for more information.

Students who have achieved a cumulative GPA of less than 2.50 are considered to have an unsatisfactory academic standing in the Werklund School of Education and may be:

  • placed on academic probation, or
  • allowed to continue on academic probation, or
  • required to withdraw from the program

Academic Probation

  • A student who has achieved a cumulative GPA of at least 2.00 but less than 2.50 over all courses taken since their previous academic review, will be placed on academic probation for one year.
  • A student who has failed a course in the BEd program, will be placed on academic probation for one year.
  • Students placed on academic probation will be advised in writing.

Required Withdrawals

  • A student who has achieved a cumulative GPA of less than 2.00, will automatically be required to withdraw from the BEd program.
  • A student who is on academic probation and has achieved a cumulative GPA of less than 2.50 over all courses taken since their previous review, will be required to withdraw from the BEd program.
  • Students will be required to withdraw from the BEd program if they have withdrawn from more than 15 units (2.5 full-course equivalents) in the BEd program.
  • If a student who is on probation receives a second failing grade, they will be required to withdraw from the BEd program.
  • Students required to withdraw will be advised in writing.
Reinstatement to Satisfactory Academic Standing

Students on academic probation who have achieved a cumulative GPA of 2.50 or higher over all the courses taken since their previous academic review, will be reinstated to satisfactory academic standing.

Students who have successfully completed the course/semester in which they received a failing grade, will be reinstated to satisfactory academic standing and may proceed to the next semester.

Readmission After Unsatisfactory Academic Performance

Students re-admitted after having been required to withdraw from the Werklund School of Education due to unsatisfactory academic performance must maintain a grade point average of at least 2.50 on all courses taken in each semester after re-admission. Failure to do so will result in permanent withdrawal from the Werklund School of Education.

Students who are required to withdraw may not apply for re-admission in the twelve month period following their required withdrawal. In addition to the online admission application, students must write a letter to the Associate Dean requesting re-admission to the program.

Students who do not return to the program after an approved leave of absence will be required to re-apply for admission.

Students who have been required to withdraw from the Werklund School of Education, other Faculties at the ²ÝÝ®ÎÛÊÓƵµ¼º½ or other post-secondary institutions due to unsatisfactory academic performance or excessive course withdrawals may be considered for re-admission after 12 or more months have elapsed since they were required to withdraw.

Re-admission is not guaranteed. Applicants must apply by the deadlines stated in the current Calendar and meet the current admission requirements of the BEd program.

Mitigating Circumstances

Students who would normally be required to withdraw on the basis of their academic performance or excessive withdrawals may instead be placed on academic probation, if they have experienced serious mitigating circumstances and can demonstrate that they have good prospects for future success. Students who believe that they fall into this category should provide written documentation to the Associate Dean, Undergraduate Programs as soon as possible and no later than the end of the term.

Voluntary Withdrawal from Program

Students must notify Undergraduate Programs in Education in writing of their intention to withdraw. After a voluntary withdrawal from the program, students will be required to re-apply for admission.
