Notes

1. For details about the various WLU Honours BBA policies, procedures, regulations, and requirements that apply to this double degree plan, please consult the WLU Undergraduate Calendar and/or one of the plan's academic advisors at WLU.
2. The abbreviations "BU" and "EC" are used in the WLU calendar for Business and Economics courses respectively.
3. Students must select one of the three available co-op sequences during their 3A term.
4. UW-registered students who meet all the academic graduation requirements for this plan, but who do not meet the minimum requirements for a co-op degree may, in exceptional circumstances and at the discretion of the Standing and Promotions (S&P) Committee, be awarded a Regular Honours BMath/Business Administration and Mathematics degree.
5. Students in the double degree plan may elect to have one of the following Math Faculty departmental honours majors designated on their UW BMath diploma and transcript: Actuarial Science, Applied Mathematics, Combinatorics and Optimization, Mathematical Finance, Operations Research, Pure Mathematics, or Statistics. To be eligible for such a BMath major designation and the WLU BBA degree, students must satisfy all of the requirements for both the departmental major plan (including the minimum number of total math units) and the double degree plan (as specified above) except as provided for below.
   (a) Students pursuing Actuarial Science are exempt from the following courses: ACTSC 371, ECON 101, 102, ENGL 119, and STAT 331. Additionally, students may take BUS 473W to replace AFM 472.
   (b) Students pursuing Operations Research are exempt from the following courses: AFM 101, 102, 101, 102, MSCI 211, 311, 432, and STAT 331, 332.
   (c) Students pursuing Statistics are exempt from the following courses: STAT 331 and 332.
   (d) Students pursuing Mathematical Finance are exempt from the following courses: ACTSC 371, 372; AFM 101, 102, 131; ECON 101, 102; STAT 331, 443. Also, ECON 260W is an acceptable substitute for ECON 201.
6. Students may, in certain circumstances, be permitted to have a minor and/or option designation on their UW BMath diploma and transcript. Such a designation must be in a UW discipline outside the areas of study offered by WLU's Department of Business, and it cannot duplicate a similar designation on the student's WLU academic record. In addition to the approval of the academic unit offering the minor or option, students require the approval of a double degree academic advisor from both UW and WLU to enrol for such a minor or option designation on their UW academic record. Students wishing to have a minor, option, or specialization designation on their WLU academic record should consult the WLU Undergraduate Calendar for details and discuss their situation with an academic advisor from WLU's School of Business and Economics. Electing to have a separate major, minor, option, or specialization designation is not required for students in the double degree plan, and in some cases, satisfying the combined requirements for both the double degree plan and those for an extra designation may require successful completion of more than 52 courses.
