Attendance in class is compulsory. Students with attendance of less than 80% may not be permitted to write examinations.
Examinations and other work in courses will be graded according to the percentage system. The minimum passing grade in a course is 60%.
When a student's cumulative percent average (CPA) or semestrial percent average (SPA) first drops below 60%, or they fail four or more courses in a semester, withdrawal is advised. Students who choose to remain in the program are on probation.
Students on probation are normally permitted to register for no more than 10 credits per semester. They are not permitted to be on probation for more than one semester unless they obtain an SPA of 70% or higher.
Students who do not raise their CPA to 60% (or obtain an SPA of 70%) while on probation are not permitted to continue. They are required to withdraw from the program for one year. If, after this period, students wish to be readmitted, they must apply in writing to the Director of the program.

Fees
Tuition fees are calculated separately from student fees. For eligible Quebec residents in the Farm Management and Technology Program there is no amount charged for tuition, thanks to support from the Ministère de l'Agriculture, des Pêcheries et de l'Alimentation du Québec. Out-of-province and international status FMT students registered for full-time studies pay a tuition fee in addition to student fees. Students considered to be studying part-time (less than 8 credits/semester) will be charged half that amount. For information about fees specific to your residency status, consult the Undergraduate fees tables on the Student Accounts Website. Student fees are charged to all students, regardless of residency.
