Notes

1. For details about the various Laurier Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) policies, procedures, regulations, and requirements that apply to this double degree program, consult the Laurier Calendar and/or one of the program's academic advisors at Laurier.
2. W courses are offered by Laurier. See the Laurier Calendar for course details.
3. BU and EC subject codes are used in the Laurier Calendar for Business and Economics courses respectively.
4. Waterloo-registered students who meet all the academic graduation requirements for this program, 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 BMath degree inHonours Mathematics/Business Administration.
5. Students may, in certain circumstances, be permitted to have a minor and/or option designation on their Waterloo Bachelor of Mathematics (BMath) diploma and transcript. Such a designation must be in a Waterloo discipline outside the areas of study offered by the Lazaridis School of Business and Economics at Laurier, 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 Calendar for details and discuss their situation with an academic advisor from the Lazaridis School of Business and Economics at Laurier. Electing to have a separate major, minor, option, or specialization designation is not required for students in the double degree program, and in some cases, satisfying the combined requirements for both the double degree program and those for an extra designation may require successful completion of more than 52 courses.
6. The degrees in the double degree program must be completed simultaneously.
7. Students admitted by Laurier to this program are not eligible to transfer to any single degree program at Waterloo until after completion of the first year of the program to which they were admitted. Students must be in good financial standing with Laurier to be eligible to transfer programs. Eligible students must meet Waterloo admission standards and be in good or excellent academic standing. Admission to co-op at Waterloo is not guaranteed. 
8. Admission to the double degree program is direct-entry. The double degree program is a restricted-enrolment plan and Year 2 transfer to the program is not possible.
