Arts Degree Requirements

General Regulations

1. Successful completion of four work terms is required.
2. Students who have attempted to secure employment for all four available work terms, but are successful in doing so for only three work terms, may be considered for a co-op degree, provided they have received credit for all three of their work terms and three corresponding work-term reflections, and they have successfully completed all academic graduation requirements. This decision is at the discretion of the School of Accounting and Finance, Co-operative Education and Career Action (CECA), and the Faculty of Arts Examinations and Standings (E&S) Committee.
3. Students are required to follow only prescribed academic/work-term sequencing options through to graduation. Students may not end their sequence with a work term.
4. 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 School of Accounting and Finance and the Faculty of Arts Examinations and Standings (E&S) Committee, be awarded a Regular Honours Accounting and Financial Management degree.

Professional Development (PD) Courses

Students must complete four Professional Development (PD) courses. PD 1 must be completed in the term prior to the first work term and PD 12 must be completed during the first work term. A third PD course must be completed during the second work term and a fourth PD course must be completed in the third work term.

Work-Term Reflections

Students must complete three work-term reflection assignments by specific due dates after the second, third, and fourth work terms. A satisfactory grade for each assignment is required.
