Academic standing for the Bachelor of Education; Bachelor of Education (After Degree); Bachelor of Arts (Native Studies)/Bachelor of Education Combined Degrees Program; Bachelor of Physical Education/Bachelor of Education (Elementary) (Secondary) Combined Degrees Program; Bachelor of Science in Human Ecology/Bachelor of Education Combined Degrees Program is assessed based on the Fall/Winter grade point average (GPA). Students are expected to maintain a minimum GPA of 2.0.

See §§23.4(5) and 23.9.2 for information on calculation of GPAs and the academic record. The GPA is printed on the official transcript and the Statement of Results issued after each Fall/Winter or Spring/Summer period.

A review of academic performance is conducted for each student at the end of each Fall/Winter (September to April) and Spring/Summer (May to August), covering the previous period's work. If a student has only registered for one term during either Fall/Winter or Spring/Summer then a review will be done on that term.

The assignment and reassignment of categories of academic standing are based on a student's performance in a minimum of 9. If, at the time of review, the student has attempted fewer than 9 since the last assignment of a category of academic standing, the review will be deferred and the academic standing assigned at the last review will remain in effect until the next review. The 9 needed for an academic review is cumulative. Once a student has completed a minimum of 9, over one or more terms, a review will be done.

Categories of Academic Standing:

One of three categories of academic standing is determined for each student based on the GPA.

Satisfactory Standing: Students with a GPA of 2.0 or greater are considered to be in Satisfactory Standing and may continue in the program.

Marginal Standing—Academic Warning: Students with a GPA of 1.7 to 1.9 inclusive are considered to be in Marginal Standing and may be permitted to continue on Academic Warning.

Unsatisfactory Standing—Required to Withdraw: Students with a GPA of 1.6 or less, or students who have been assigned Marginal Standing on two occasions (not necessarily consecutively) while registered in the Faculty, are considered to be in Unsatisfactory Standing and are required to withdraw from the Faculty.

A student placed on Academic Warning resulting from Marginal Standing is bound by the following requirements:

Readmission After Required to Withdraw

Continuation in the Bachelor of Science (Specialization in Science and Education) and Bachelor of Education Combined Degrees Program requires a Fall/Winter Grade Point Average (GPA) of at least 2.3. A student who does not meet the requirement to continue in the combined degrees program must withdraw from the combined program and may apply for admission to either a BEd program or a BSc program, if eligible. Refer to §§15.6.1 or 15.15.1 for academic standing regulations for admission to the BEd or BSc General programs.

Note: Students in the BSc/BEd are registered in the Faculty of Science for the first two years of the five-year program. They are registered in the Faculty of Education commencing the beginning of the third year.

Grade Point Average (GPA): The Grade Point Average is the weighted average over all courses attempted while registered in Fall/Winter. See §§23.4(5) and 23.9.2 regarding rules for calculation of the GPA.

To be eligible to continue in the program, students will need a minimum GPA of 2.3 for each Fall/Winter. See §§23.4(5) and 23.9.2 for information on calculation of Fall/Winter GPAs and the academic record.
