Faculty of Mathematics

1. Averages for Honours and General Students

All averages calculated for degree students enrolled in the Faculty of Mathematics include all relevant course grades, except for:
(a) courses explicitly excluded, either because they have failing grades or by request of the student, within the limits specified in Table I in "Degree Requirements";
(b) courses taken while the student was enrolled in another UW faculty or at another post-secondary institution; and
(c) any other courses that are ineligible for credit toward the student's degree (e.g., General-level math courses for students enrolled in an Honours plan, or courses not be counted for degree credit by any Math student) or for credit in the student's particular academic plan (e.g., CS non-major courses for students enrolled in a CS Major plan).

A passed course may be repeated at most once and both marks will be included in averages, unless excluded according to one of (a), (b), or (c) above.

For General students, the Faculty of Mathematics computes two types of average, an "Overall" average and a "Faculty" (i.e., "Math") average. For Honours students, the Faculty computes these same averages, and in addition, one or two "Major" averages (see section 2 to follow). For each of these average categories, there is a "term" average (computed for each term of enrolment in the Faculty and based only upon courses taken that term) and a "cumulative" average (computed over all terms of enrolment in the Faculty).

Overall averages (with cumulative and term versions commonly identified as"CAV" and "TAV" respectively) include both math and non-math courses. A student's CAV and most recent TAV, along with cumulative failure count, are the primary factors in determining that student's "Standing" in the Faculty (see section 3 to follow).

Faculty (i.e., "Math") averages include only math courses. At present, these averages do not formally contribute toward determining a student's "Standing" in the Faculty. However, they are taken into account in an informal way by the Faculty Standings and Promotions (S&P) Committee when a student petitions for a "special exception" to normal Faculty policies.

2. Major Averages for Honours Students

Subject to the exclusion/inclusion provisions (stipulated in the preceding section 1) which apply to all average calculations in the Faculty, "Major" averages (commonly identified as "MAV") for Honours students are based upon all the student's 300/400-level math courses, except for the specific plans listed below:

• For Computer Science Major plans, the major average ("MAV") is based upon CS 134, 136, all the student's subsequent CS major courses, as well as CS courses numbered 600 and higher, and courses CO 487/CM 432, CM 461/STAT 440, ECE 222, 427, and 429, SE 112, 240, 382, 463, 464, and 465.
• For Actuarial Science major plans, the major average ("MAV") is based upon ACTSC 231, 232, STAT 230/240, 231/241, and all the student's 300/400 level math courses.
• The Mathematics/Business Administration plans, in addition to having a major average ("MAV") based upon all the student's 300/400-level math courses, also have a second ("special") business-related major average ("SMAV") as described in Notes 1. and 2.
• The Mathematics/Chartered Accountancy plans, in addition to having a major average ("MAV") based upon all the student's 300/400-level math courses, also have a second ("special") accounting-related major average ("SMAV") as described in Notes 1. and 2.
• The three Honours Bioinformatics plans, in addition to having a first Computer Science major average ("MAV") as described above, also have a second ("special") Biology-related major average ("SMAV") which is based upon all the student's BIOL courses.
• The BCFM plan has a major average ("MAV") based on all math courses and a second ("special") major average ("SMAV") based on all courses from the Faculty of Arts.
• For all Joint and Double Honours plans combining two major areas of study within the Faculty of Mathematics, each area of study has its own separate major ("MAV") average calculated as described above. In such situations, the major-average graduation requirements in Table I in "Degree Requirements" and the major-average continuation requirements described in section 4 (to follow) apply to both major averages respectively.

3. Academic Standing within the Faculty

This section specifies the basic rules that determine a student's academic standing. Students should consult sections 4, 5, and 6.4 below for additional rules that may affect their standing.

3.1 To remain in the Faculty of Mathematics, a student may not have more than 4.0 units of excluded courses. A student who exceeds this limit will be required to withdraw. Note that, in addition to courses excluded at the student's request, failed courses will be excluded automatically.

3.2 To remain in an Honours plan, a student may not have more than 3.0 units of excluded courses; a student with 4.0 or fewer units of passed courses may not have more than 2.0 units of excluded courses. A student who exceeds either of these limits will be required to transfer to the General program. Note that, in addition to courses excluded at the student's request, failed courses will be excluded automatically.

3.3 A student's standing is assessed after each term of registration. Subject to 3.1 and 3.2,

• if CAV >= 80%, a student is "In Excellent Standing";
• if CAV < 80% and CAV >= 60%, a student is "In Good Standing";
• if CAV <60%, a student is "On Academic Probation."

If, however, the preceding criteria indicate "Good" or "Excellent" standing (or indicate no standing because a student has no courses with grades that can be used to compute a CAV) but a student has excluded units exceeding one-half the passed and non-excluded units, then the student is "In Marginal Standing."

3.5 Following the term in which a student reaches 2.0 excluded units, regardless of the academic standing for the term, the student will be blocked from enrolling in classes until the student has spoken to an advisor concerning his/her academic situation.

3.6 A student may be required to withdraw from the Faculty of Mathematics if, in the opinion of the Standings and Promotions (S&P) Committee, the student is unlikely to profit from further study in the Faculty or is not making satisfactory progress toward fulfilling degree requirements.

3.7 A "Required to withdraw - may not continue in Faculty" academic standing normally means that a student is no longer eligible for any subsequent degree studies in the Faculty of Mathematics. However, a student may submit a petition to the Faculty Standings and Promotions (S&P) Committee to enrol for one final term of non-degree studies, provided that term will follow an absence of at least two terms. Such petitions are likely to be granted only if the student is requesting a non-degree term of courses selected to enhance the chances for admission to a program of study outside the Faculty, either at the University of Waterloo or at some other post-secondary institution.

3.8 Students whose first enrolment in the Faculty of Mathematics was September 2004 or later may take full advantage of the revised rules for academic standing described above. Students whose first enrolment in the Faculty of Mathematics was prior to September 2004 may take advantage of the increased limits on excluded (previously, failed) units, by counting both failed and excluded courses against the new limit, but only courses taken in the Fall 2004 term or later may be excluded. That is, grades for failed courses taken prior to Fall 2004 will be included in averages, unless one of the exclusion provisions in the 2005/2006 Undergraduate Calendar applies.

4. Major Average Continuation Requirement for Honours Academic Plans

The major average will only take effect once it includes at least two course grades for Computer Science Major plans, and once it includes at least three course grades for all other Honours plans.

Honours students in Actuarial Science, Applied Mathematics, and Pure Mathematics Major plans, as well as those enrolled in Mathematical Physics, must normally have a cumulative major average (as defined in section 2 earlier) of at least 65% to remain eligible to continue in their plan. Students with a cumulative major average less than 65%, but at least 60%, may be allowed, at the discretion of their departments, to continue on a conditional basis in their plan in an attempt to raise their cumulative major average to 65%. Students who fail to do so after one full-time academic term (or the equivalent) will normally be required to withdraw from their major plan.

Honours students in other plans must normally have a cumulative major average (as defined in section 2 earlier) of at least 60% to remain eligible to continue in their plan. Students with a cumulative major average less than 60%, but at least 55%, may be allowed, at the discretion of their major Department(s) or the Dean's Office, as appropriate, to continue on a conditional basis in their plan in an attempt to raise their cumulative major average to 60%. Students who fail to do so after one full-time academic term (or the equivalent) will normally be required to withdraw from their plan.

For all Joint and Double Honours plans within the Faculty, the major average requirements of both majors must be satisfied.

Third- or fourth-year students who are unable to satisfy the major average admission or continuation standard of any Honours plan will normally be required to transfer to the General program.

5. Conditions for Remaining in Co-op

5.1 Students who are eligible to continue in their academic plan may remain in Co-op, provided that they are making satisfactory progress towards meeting the Faculty's minimum requirements for work terms and work reports.

5.2 Subject to the approval of an undergraduate advisor for the General program and the CECS Assistant Director for the Faculty of Mathematics, an Honours Co-op student who elects to transfer to the General program prior to the end of week eight in an academic term may remain in the Co-op system of study.

5.3 An Honours Co-op student who is required to transfer to the General program will normally also be required to transfer to the Regular system of study.

5.4 Students with a cumulative average (i.e., Overall GPA) less than 60%, or for whom the total of their excluded course units exceeds one half the total of their passed (and not excluded) course units, will normally be suspended from the CECS employment process during their next academic term.

In most instances (with the exception of students with a previously arranged two-work-term commitment), in order to administratively implement the suspension, students will have their system of study changed from Co-op to Regular, effective their first full-time academic term following the term that led to their suspension. Then, as Regular students, they will not be required to pay Co-op fees during the time they are suspended from Co-op. Students who have been suspended from Co-op will be permitted, and sometimes encouraged, to enrol in consecutive full-time academic terms.

If students have already secured employment for a co-op work term immediately following the academic term that led to their suspension, they will normally be permitted to honour that employment commitment, and that work term will be eligible for official co-op work-term credit in the event that they are subsequently reinstated to Co-op. In addition, students with a two-work-term commitment already in place will normally be expected to return to work for that same employer following their next scheduled academic term (during which they will normally remain enrolled in Co-op and pay Co-op fees). In other instances, however, employment secured for a term immediately following suspension from the CECS job-search employment process will not normally be recognized for official co-op work-term credit.

5.5 After one full-time academic term (or equivalent) in a regular plan, suspended students will be eligible to apply for reinstatement to Co-op. Provided that they are otherwise eligible for Co-op, reinstatement will be automatic for applicants who have attained "Good" or "Excellent" academic standing. In all cases, applications for reinstatement must be submitted no later than the end of the first complete week of the academic term for which reinstatement is requested. However, if after one full-time academic term (or equivalent) on suspension, students have not attained "Good" or "Excellent" standing, they will normally not be eligible for any further enrolment in Co-op. Exceptions may be made in some instances for students who are judged to have made significant academic improvement, but have not yet attained "Good" or "Excellent" standing.

5.6 Normally, students who warrant suspension from the CECS employment process more than once will be permanently removed from Co-op.

5.7 Students in Co-op plans for which no corresponding regular plan exists will be dealt with following the principles in 5.4 to 5.6 as closely as possible, given the lack of a corresponding regular plan. Since removal from Co-op is potentially more significant for such students, their individual circumstances will be considered in making decisions.

6. Course Drop Policy

This section applies to dropping individual courses, with one or more other courses remaining in the student's registration. For complete withdrawal from a term, see 10, below.

6.1 A student may drop courses without academic penalty during the first three weeks of lectures.

6.2 A student may withdraw from one or more courses per term, subject to restrictions imposed by the Faculty, after the end of the third week of lectures, until the end of the eighth week of lectures. These courses will remain on a student's record and will be assigned grades of WD. Each WD grade will count as a course attempt but will not be included in the student's averages, units completed, or failure counts.

6.3 A student may withdraw from one or more courses after the end of the eighth week of lectures, until the day before the first day of exams. A student should consult an Academic Advisor before withdrawing during this interval, because these courses will remain on a student's record with a grade of WF (withdrew/failure) and will count as failures.

6.4 The Faculty's degree requirements stipulate that the difference between the number of units attempted and the number of units completed cannot exceed five. Thus, a student will be required to withdraw if the total unit value of excluded courses, WDs, and repetitions of (non-excluded) passed courses exceeds five units.

7. Examinations

7.1 The Faculty of Mathematics constitutes the examining body for all examinations for courses in the Faculty and, through the Standings and Promotions (S&P) Committee, approves all decisions concerning grades and academic standing.

7.2 The Faculty of Mathematics does not grant Supplementary Examinations for students who fail courses, except for certain situations involving students in Engineering or Software Engineering.

Further details concerning University examination requirements may be found in the "University of Waterloo Examination Regulations and Related Matters" PDF document.

8. Grades

8.1 Numerical grades in the range 0-100 are assigned in all courses in the Faculty of Mathematics except the Computer Science Honours Thesis, CS 499T. The minimum passing mark in all courses is 50.

8.2 If a student does not write a final examination and does not give a properly documented reason (e.g., illness), the instructor will either submit a grade of DNW (did not write) or submit a numerical grade based on the term work, with a grade of zero for the exam.

8.3 In exceptional circumstances, for example an examination missed due to illness (see 12.2 to follow), an instructor may assign a grade of INC (course incomplete). A grade of INC will not be assigned simply because a student is concerned that he/she will otherwise fail the course. A grade of INC which is not cleared by the deadline set by the instructor, which will normally be no later than eight months after the end of term, will be automatically converted to an FTC (failure to complete, no credit granted). Students should not register again in a course for which they have an outstanding INC grade and cannot use the course for prerequisite purposes for subsequent courses.

8.4 The grade Under Review (UR) may be imposed by the Associate Dean, Undergraduate Studies, while an alleged offence is under investigation or appeal. Once the discipline case is resolved, the UR grade will be replaced with the final grade. A student with an outstanding INC, IP, NMR, and/or UR on her/his record will be unable to graduate until the INC, IP, NMR, and/or UR has been replaced by a grade and the grade has been factored into the averages.

8.5 Grades are not official until the "fully graded" date when academic decisions are released by the Registrar's Office. However, once the official examination period is over, unofficial grades will be available to students through Quest. Grades will appear on Quest as soon as they are entered by the Registrar's Office. Faculty policy does not permit instructors to release grades during the examination period.

8.6 Students in the Faculty of Mathematics may not register for official Audit (AUD) status in a course. This policy applies to all undergraduate students in Mathematics, including non-degree students and students on exchange programs from other universities.

9. Grade Appeals

A student may find that the grade received for a course is significantly lower than anticipated following the final exam. In this situation, the student may informally ask the instructor to check the calculation of the final grade. If questions concerning a grade cannot be resolved informally, a student may request to have the final exam re-marked by submitting a "Math Faculty Grade Appeal" form to the Mathematics Undergraduate Office. These forms may be obtained from the Mathematics Undergraduate Office. As part of this process, the student may ask to see a copy of her/his final exam. A grade appeal must be initiated within one year of the date the exam was written.

It should be noted that failing grades are automatically reviewed by the instructor, and in a multi-section course the examinations are marked in common by all instructors so that students in all sections are treated on a common basis. Students should be aware that a grade may decrease as a result of a request for a re-mark.

If, following a grade appeal, a student has serious concerns about how her/his grade was assigned, the student should discuss the matter with the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies. In such a situation, the Student Grievance Policy permits a student to request a formal reassessment. A copy of this document is available on the Secretariat's website at www.adm.uwaterloo.ca/infosec/Policies/policy70.htm (UW Policy #70).

10. Voluntary Withdrawal from a Term/Inactive Status

A student may withdraw from all courses up to the last official day of lectures for the term, by submitting a completed "Undergraduate Notice of Withdrawal" form to the Registrar's Office. Such a student is considered to have "Voluntarily Withdrawn" from that term. If the form is submitted no later than the last day of the third week of lectures, which is typically also the end of the period for 100% tuition-fee refund, the term will not be recorded on the student's academic record. With the exception noted in the following paragraph, if a student withdraws after the end of the third week of lectures, all courses in which the student is currently enrolled will remain on her/his academic record, with WD or WF grades. The grade is assigned according to the date of withdrawal, using the same rules as for dropping individual courses (see 6.2 and 6.3 above).

A first-year student who has never been previously registered at a degree-granting post-secondary institution will normally be permitted to withdraw from all of her/his courses without academic penalty as late as the last official day of lectures for her/his first term. These courses, however, will continue to appear on their academic record with a grade of WD. Such students may resume their studies after an absence of two terms (eight months). Students wishing to pursue this option must inform the Registrar's Office.

A Mathematics student who has completed at least one term of study and who has been inactive (i.e., not been registered as a candidate for a degree offered through the Faculty of Mathematics, or on an approved Letter of Permission) for more than four consecutive academic terms must apply for re-admission by writing to the Assistant Registrar, Faculty of Mathematics. A resume covering the inactive period, including official transcripts from any post-secondary institutions attended in the interim, must be included. If the student is re-admitted, Faculty policies in effect at the time of re-admission will apply, unless stated otherwise by the Faculty when re-admission is approved.

11. Petitions and the Standings and Promotions (S&P) Committee

On occasion, due to illness or other circumstances beyond a student's control, it may be appropriate for a student to make a petition requesting that an exception be made to a Faculty or University regulation. All such petitions are considered by the Standings and Promotions (S&P) Committee, which consists of a representative from each department and each area of study, and is chaired by the Associate Dean for Undergraduate Studies. Petitions should be made on a "Petition for Exception to Academic Regulations" form obtainable from the Mathematics Undergraduate Office, and should be submitted to the Registrar's Office together with supporting documents (e.g., a medical certificate). It is often useful to discuss the situation with an academic advisor before submitting a petition.

12. Illness

12.1 Illness During the Term

If a student becomes seriously ill during the term, it may be desirable for her/his course load to be reduced or for the student to withdraw completely from the academic term. If this occurs after the official course drop deadline, the student should submit a petition to the Standings and Promotions (S&P) Committee, supported by a medical certificate, requesting permission to drop one or more courses. It is essential for the student to assess the situation and take the appropriate action immediately. Petitions of this nature must be made before the end of the lecture period.

12.2 Illness During the Exam Period

• If a student becomes ill during the exam period and as a result misses an exam, he/she must provide a medical certificate to the Mathematics Undergraduate Office (MUO) as soon as possible, but no later than the end of the exam period. The MUO staff will send a copy of the certificate to the appropriate instructor(s). The instructor may assign a grade of INC (incomplete) for the affected course if that is appropriate. In this case, the student must contact the instructor in order to determine how the course is to be completed. This will usually mean writing the exam when the course is next offered, but the instructor may choose to arrange for a deferred exam. In exceptional circumstances, the instructor may assign a grade of AEG (Aegrotat, credit granted, but no mark assigned because of illness). Students should note that poor performance during the term can easily cause an INC not to be granted. If illness causes problems prior to final exams, a student should either withdraw, as described above, or make suitable arrangements with the instructor to continue in the course.
• If a student becomes ill during an exam and is unable to continue, he/she should inform the chief proctor before leaving the exam and then proceed as in the above. If a student completes an exam, the grade obtained will normally stand.

12.3 Medical Certificates

The certificate should describe the nature of the illness, the degree of incapacity, and the precise period of absence or incapacitation. If an off-campus doctor is consulted, the "Verification of Illness" form should be completed.

13. Policies Concerning Courses

13.1 Course Load Policy

The standard course load for students in the Mathematics Faculty is five courses per term (2.5 units). The maximum load that may be taken without special permission is 2.75 units, allowing for five 0.5-unit courses and one 0.25-unit course. Exceptions to this normal load are as follows:

• Students who have a cumulative average of 80% or more may request permission from their advisor to enrol in a sixth course. The intention is to permit students to take additional courses beyond the 40 course (20 unit) degree requirement and thereby gain greater breadth in their education. However, Honours Co-op students should not enrol in six courses with a view to graduating in fewer than eight terms, since it is Faculty policy that Co-op students must complete eight full-time terms in order to graduate with an Honours degree.

• If a student has courses with INC grades on his/her record, the total unit weight of those INC courses and the courses enrolled for the current term may not normally exceed 3.25 units. A student may obtain permission from an academic advisor to exceed this limit, if an INC will not be completed in the current term because the course is not offered.

• Students with a CAV < 60% or whose excluded units exceed half their non-excluded passed units (such students would normally be on "Academic Probation" or in "Marginal Standing") are restricted to a course-load maximum of 2.25 units for the subsequent academic term.

• If more than one of the preceding apply to a student, the maximum course load is the smallest of the limits specified.

Students may add new courses or change sections in already scheduled courses no later than the end of the second week of lectures. Students must complete their add or swap activity on Quest or submit a "Course Override Form" to the Mathematics Undergraduate Office by the published deadline.

13.3 Course Prerequisites

At any time prior to the completion of lectures, if it is discovered that a student is taking a course offered by the Faculty of Mathematics without having previously completed the course prerequisites stated in the University Undergraduate Calendar or having been granted a requisite override for the course, the student is subject to having her/his registration in that course purged from university records. Such purging may be done at the request of the course instructor, the department offering the course, and/or the Faculty of Mathematics, but not without the consent of the instructor. A course must have been passed to be used as a prerequisite. In particular, if the course grade is currently INC or UR, the course may not be used as a prerequisite.

13.4 No-Credit/Overlap Courses

Some courses offered within the University may not be taken for credit towards a degree offered through the Faculty of Mathematics, since they have been designed for students in faculties other than Mathematics. These courses are identified on the "Course No-Credit List." Other courses offered by various departments throughout the University deal with similar subject matter. In these instances, at most one entry from a group of overlapping courses may count for credit towards their BMath, BCS, or BCFM degree. These courses are identified on the "Course Overlap List." Both of these lists are available on the Math Undergraduate Office website at www.math.uwaterloo.ca/navigation/Current/nocredit_overlap.shtml. It is the student's responsibility to be aware of the contents of these lists.

13.5 Courses While on a Co-op Work Term

Co-op students on a work term are limited to one course (0.5 units), unless they have written support from their employer to take two courses (one unit).

13.6 Courses at Other Universities (Letters of Permission)

Students "In Good Standing" are normally permitted to take non-math courses at other universities on a part-time basis during terms off campus, provided the courses are not explicitly required for their particular plan. Students wishing to take courses at other universities must submit a completed "Letter of Permission Form" to the Registrar's Office before taking each course. The Standings and Promotions Committee (S&P) will not approve courses taken elsewhere for BMath or BCS degree credit if prior approval has not been obtained.

Courses taken on a Letter of Permission will be recorded on a student's academic record as transfer credits (T) or transfer failures (TF) as appropriate. A grade of 60 or higher will be recorded as a credit and a grade of less than 50 will be recorded as a failure. Grades of 50-59 will result in the course not being recorded on a student’s record. Co-op students on work terms are limited to one course (0.5 units), unless they have written support from their employer to take two courses (one unit).

It will be the student's responsibility to ensure that an official transcript from the host institution is sent to the UW Registrar's Office within two months of the completion of the course. Otherwise, a transfer failure will be automatically recorded. Any changes a student wishes to make to an authorized Letter of Permission must be approved in advance by the Standings and Promotions (S&P) Committee.

14. Co-op Regulations

14.1 Co-op Degree Requirements

Co-operative mathematics students are expected to follow the normal alternating academic/work-term sequence appropriate to their plan from admission through to graduation (see "Work/Study Sequence" section). Students admitted at the 1A level, with the exception of those in the Mathematics/Chartered Accountancy and BBA/BMath Double Degree plans, will normally have eight academic terms and six work terms. Such students must successfully complete all academic degree requirements including five professional-development courses, write at least four satisfactory work reports, and follow an approved academic/work-term sequence, which will normally include at least five satisfactory work terms. Students may not end their academic/work-term sequence with a work term. Students must satisfy all Honours degree course requirements within one calendar year after the termination of their approved academic/work-term sequence, or they will normally be eligible only for a Regular Honours degree.

14.2 Co-op Work Report Regulations

• Co-op students must submit a work report following every work term until they have completed four acceptable work reports. Successful completion of PD 2 meets the requirement for a first work report.
• If a Co-op student fails to submit a work report, he/she will receive a grade of NCR.
• If a Co-op student obtains two grades of NCR for work reports, he/she must withdraw from the Co-op system unless the Faculty of Mathematics Standings and Promotions (S&P) Committee approves some alternative arrangement for satisfying the Co-op work report requirement.

14.3 Re-arranging Academic/Work-term Sequences

Student requests to re-arrange academic/work-term sequences must be directed to the Standings and Promotions (S&P) Committee on the "Academic/Work Term Sequence Change Form" available from Co-operative Education and Career Service and the Mathematics Undergraduate Office. Such requests will normally be approved if all of the criteria listed on the form are met. Students who alter their academic/work-term sequence without first obtaining written approval may be required to withdraw from the Co-op system. It is the student's responsibility to deal with any timetabling difficulties which may arise and select courses for subsequent terms.

15. Transfer Students

15.1 Residency/Registration Requirement

Students must normally complete at least 50% of the minimum number of math courses and at least 50% of the total number of units required for a degree offered through the Faculty of Mathematics while registered in the Faculty. Students transferring into a Co-operative system of study must normally complete at least five work terms; at least 50% of these must be completed while registered in the Mathematics Faculty. At least two of the four required work reports must be submitted while registered in the Faculty of Mathematics.

15.2 Transfer Credits

Transfer students will normally be given transfer credit for relevant courses taken previously if (i) a mark of at least 60% or equivalent has been obtained, (ii) a mark of at least 50% has been obtained in a University of Waterloo non-math course or in a University of Waterloo mathematics course specifically designated for mathematics students. Credit may not be granted for a course covering only part of the material contained in a corresponding required UW course. Grades for transferred courses will not count in averages.

15.3 Transferring into a Co-op System of Study

Students, other than UW co-op students, with 3.0 or more units of math transfer credits are normally not eligible for the Co-operative system of study.

15.4 Double Counting of Courses for BMath Degree Credit

The Faculty of Mathematics will normally count for degree credit a maximum of 50% of the units that a student has previously used, or is using simultaneously, to obtain a degree from another UW faculty or at another university.

15.5 Transfer into a Computer Science Major Plan

Please see the Computer Science admission requirements section.
