Examinations and Standings

Averages

A student's academic standing is determined in part by the averages attained:

  • Cumulative Overall Average: Average of the grades in all courses taken regardless of faculty.
  • Faculty (Arts) Average: Average of the grades in all Faculty of Arts courses.
  • Plan (Major) Average: Average of the grades in all courses taken within the student's plan (e.g., major, minor, option).
    Normally all courses taken under the rubric of the student's plan, e.g., HIST for History students, PSYCH for Psychology students, are included in the plan average regardless of whether any of these courses is in excess of the minimum required by the plan.
