Program Approval

Students are advised that program approval is required under the following circumstances:

1. If your student type is SPECIAL; or

2. If your term academic standing is PROBATIONARY and you are not in the Bachelor of Commerce program; or

3. If you wish to register for more than the normal number of credits; or

4. If you are adding or changing a specialization (i.e. major or minor)--see your faculty advisor for that undergraduate program (usually a faculty member). Students in the B.A.Sc. and B.Comm. programs must see their program counsellor to make a change or addition to their specialization.

Note: It is the Program Counsellor's responsibility to change a student from "Special" to "Regular" student type (see "Student Type" Section VIII--Undergraduate Degree Regulations and Procedures, for definitions of categories.)

Students may find that program approval will be withheld if they do not adhere to the schedule of studies outlined in the Undergraduate Calendar; or, they are identified either by the Admissions Sub-Committee or the Academic Review Sub-Committee as being "Special" or requiring additional stipulations; or, they have not taken the appropriate prerequisites or corequisites.

Students are cautioned that if their selection of courses does not give evidence of progress toward the completion of the conditions for graduation in their program, they may be required by the Academic Review Sub-Committee of their program to fulfill specific conditions for continuation in the program.

In all cases, if course changes are made, the "Undergraduate Course Request" form, with appropriate approvals, must be returned to Undergraduate Program Services, Office of Registrarial Services.

Note: A term academic standing is assigned according to the requirements of the Continuation of Study policy (see "Student Type" Section VIII--Undergraduate Degree Regulations and Procedures, for definitions of categories.) A student whose term academic standing is Required to Withdraw according to the requirements of the Continuation of Study policy may have their term academic standing changed to "probation" as a result of a Request for Academic Consideration.
