A Joint Honours academic plan with Legal Studies may be taken in combination with most Arts disciplines in which an Honours academic plan is offered or with many Honours majors in other Faculties.
Continuation in this academic plan requires a cumulative overall average of 60% and a cumulative average of 75% in Legal Studies core and approved courses.
Eligibility for graduation in the Joint Honours Legal Studies academic plan includes successful fulfillment of the following requirements:
- Appropriate Program-level requirements for the Home Faculty, including at least 20 academic course units. If the Home Faculty is Arts, see Bachelor of Arts.
Note: In practice, depending on the number of courses required by the second discipline (i.e., overall and for the major) and the number of electives that students choose to take, more than 40 courses may be necessary for graduation.
