- COMM 231 Commercial and Business Law for Mathematics Students
- All of
- Six additional math courses (3.0 units)
- Two additional AFM, COMM, ECON, MSCI, or math courses (1.0 unit)
Notes
- AFM 462, AFM 482, and AFM 491 may be substituted with an acceptable 300-/400-level AFM elective, with the understanding that any such substitution would forfeit Master of Accounting (MAcc) admission eligibility and will impact the path to a Chartered Professional Accountancy (CPA) designation pursued through CPA Ontario.
- There is very little flexibility for altering the study/work-term sequence prescribed for the Mathematics/Chartered Professional Accountancy academic plan (see Co-op Regulations) because of limited term offerings and structured prerequisites for most AFM courses. Since deviations from this sequence can cause a delay in graduation of as much as one calendar year, alterations should not be considered without careful consultation with the CPA academic advisor.
- The order in which required non-math courses in this academic plan are taken is very important, and there is little room for flexibility (for the same reasons in Note 1 above). During course registration each term, students should be sure to consult with their academic advisor.
- Students may not repeat an AFM course in which they have obtained a grade of 60% or higher. AFM courses completed with a grade in the range 50-59% may be repeated, but only once, and then only with approval from the School of Accounting and Finance.
- Students who have attempted, to the satisfaction of the Standings and Promotions (S&P) Committee and Co-operative Education, to gain employment for all four available work terms, but are successful in so doing for only three work terms, will be eligible for a co-op degree, provided they have received credit for all three of their work terms and all three of their work reports, and they have successfully completed all academic graduation requirements. Students who are successful in gaining acceptable employment for four work terms will be required to have credit for all four work terms and all four work reports in order to qualify for a co-op degree.
- Students who meet all the academic graduation requirements for this academic plan, but who do not meet the minimum requirements for a co-op degree (see preceding Note 5) may, in exceptional circumstances and at the discretion of the S&P Committee, be awarded a regular Honours Mathematics/Chartered Professional Accountancy degree.
- In order to meet the requirements of both the Faculty of Mathematics and the School of Accounting and Finance, the Mathematics/CPA academic plan requires the successful completion of 41 courses.
Tuition
This is a high-fee academic plan. As such, tuition higher than the normal University of Waterloo tuition is required.
