Academic Standing

Google Code for Remarketing Tag - Bloom

Your academic standing indicates how well you are doing in your program, whether you can continue to the next term and if there are any conditions attached to your registration.

Each student's academic鈥痵tanding is assessed at the end of every term on the basis of a review of the final grades received in courses registered in prior terms. A student who fails to comply with the minimum standards set out by SCS will not be permitted to continue in a program and risks their registration being cancelled.

Original grades remain on record even if improved by course repetition or supplemental exam.

Appeals

The School of Continuing Studies affirms the right of students to dispute substantive or procedural academic matters, including decisions about the student鈥檚 continuation in a program; or concerning any other decision with respect to the application of academic regulations and requirements to a student.

A formal academic appeal must be made in writing directly to the School of Continuing Studies Appeal Committee. This request must be accompanied by supporting documents which substantiate reinstatement.
