Academic Standing

Academic Standing

Academic Standing is based primarily on students' cumulative grade point average (CGPA), but may also be affected by their term grade point average (TGPA). For students in the B.Ed. programs, it is also based on their performance in the Field Experience courses. Academic Standing, which is assessed after the end of term, determines if students will be allowed to continue their studies in the next term and if any conditions will be attached to their registration.

Decisions about Academic Standing in the Fall term are based only on grades that are available in January. Grades for courses in which students have deferred examinations and Fall term grades for courses that span the Fall and Winter terms do not affect Academic Standing for the Fall term, even though they will ultimately affect students鈥 Fall TGPA. Therefore, Academic Standing for the Fall term is designated as 鈥淚nterim鈥 and should be interpreted as advisory. Interim Standing decisions are mentioned below only if the rules for them differ from those for regular Standing decisions. Students who do not receive a Pass grade for a Fall term EDFE (Field Experience course) are placed in Unsatisfactory Standing (not Interim Unsatisfactory Standing). Permission may be exceptionally granted by the ISA Director to allow them to continue taking courses during the Winter term only.

Additional conditions may apply.

Students in Unsatisfactory Standing for the second time must withdraw permanently. Students who were placed in Unsatisfactory Standing due to a failure in student teaching/Field Experience cannot apply for readmission for at least one full year and are advised to apply for Fall readmission by April 15. Appeals for readmission due to failure in a field experience are heard by the Faculty of Education Student Affairs Committee.

Students with Incomplete Standings in the Winter or Summer term may register for the Fall term, but their Standing must be resolved by the end of the Course Change period for that term. Students whose Incomplete Standing changes to Satisfactory, Probationary, or Interim Unsatisfactory Standing may continue in the program. Students whose Standing changes to Unsatisfactory may not continue in their program.

Students whose Standing changes to Unsatisfactory and who wish to ask for permission to continue in their program must make a request to the Director, Internships and Student Affairs as soon as they are placed in Unsatisfactory Standing. Readmission will be considered only when proof of extenuating circumstances that affected academic performance can be provided (e.g., medical or other documentation). Additional conditions may apply.

Students whose Standing is still Incomplete by the end of the Course Change period should immediately consult with the Internships and Student Affairs Office.
