Re-Admission Following a Failed Required to Withdraw Decision |
|
|
- A student who has received a failed required to withdraw decision is eligible to apply for re-admission after an absence of two terms. Such applications will only be considered if it is the student's first failure in the Faculty of Arts. If the student is granted re-admission:
- the student's cumulative overall and Arts (or major) averages will be cleared, that is, grades achieved in all previous course work will not count in cumulative averages;
- all previous UW course attempts and grades will remain recorded on the student's mark reports and transcript;
- credit for as much as, and no more than, a maximum of ten academic course units will count towards a four-year degree, including Arts courses passed and non-Arts courses (including WLU courses) in which a minimum grade of 60% has been achieved. For a three-year degree, no more than a maximum of 7.5 academic course units will count towards the total required. (Students registered in a three-year degree prior to September 2004, may be granted as much as ten academic course units on re-admission.)
- cumulative and Arts (or major) averages for the degree will be based on courses taken following re-admission and clearing.
For further information see "Admission, Transfer Credit."
- Students whose cumulative averages have been cleared must observe the following requirements on re-admission:
- complete a minimum of 7.5 additional academic course units for a three-year degree and ten additional academic course units for a four-year degree to establish cumulative overall and Arts or major averages after clearing.
- complete a minimum of half of the courses required in the major, or, for Liberal Studies, at least half of the courses must be University of Waterloo Arts courses (for three-year academic plans at least four units, for four-year academic plans at least 6.5 units).
