Notes

  1. For details about the various Laurier Honours Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) policies, procedures, regulations, and requirements that apply to this double degree plan, please consult the Laurier Undergraduate Calendar and/or one of the plan's academic advisors at Laurier.
  2. Students may, in certain circumstances, be permitted to have one minor or option designation on their Waterloo Bachelor of Computer Science (BCS) diploma and transcript. Such a designation must be either
    • the Software Engineering Option to the BCS degree, or
    • in a Waterloo discipline outside the areas of study offered by Waterloo's Faculty of Mathematics and outside those offered by the Department of Business at Wilfrid Laurier University and it cannot duplicate a similar designation on the student's Laurier 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 Waterloo and Laurier to enrol for such a minor or option designation on their Waterloo academic record. Students wishing to have a minor, option, or specialization designation on their Laurier academic record should consult the Laurier Undergraduate Calendar for details and discuss their situation with an academic advisor from the School of Business and Economics at Wilfrid Laurier University. Electing to have a separate 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.
