Notes

  1. To remain eligible to continue in this plan, students must have a special major average (SMAV) of at least 75%. This criterion will apply once a student has completed at least three courses towards the average.
  2. For graduation and progression purposes, a student’s averages will be calculated according to the practices of the Faculty in which the student is formally registered. Should a student transfer from the Mathematics Faculty to the Arts Faculty (or vice versa), the student’s average calculations may be revised to reflect the differing average calculation rules.
