Faculty of Human Ecology - Regulations
Scholastic Standards
Graduation
To graduate, a student must have passed 120 hours of credit and
have obtained a minimum of 240 weighted grade points. This is
equivalent to a Grade Point Average of 2.0, i.e., a "C" average.
A pass indicates a grade of "D" or better.

Assessment
Academic Standards - Probationary Standing
Academic Standards - Suspension
Where mathematically possible for a suspended student to complete
the degree, a suspended student shall be automatically reinstated
after remaining out of the Faculty for one calendar year, or by
achieving a cumulative G.P.A. above the probationary standard.
Academic Standards - Suspension (All Attempts Used)
A maximum of 150 hours of credit (25 courses or the
equivalent) may be attempted in order to obtain the 120 hours of
credit.
A student's Grade Point Average (G.P.A.) will be determined from
the number of effective courses which apply at a particular stage.
The effective courses consist of all courses passed, in addition
to all failures which have not been cleared or substituted for in
the student's record.
The status of each student will be assessed in the spring
assessment following completion of 24 hours of credit and in May
of each year thereafter in which a student is registered.
Students must equal or exceed the following standards at the
specified stages in their academic careers. Failure to achieve
the standard results in probation. Once placed on probation,
students who fail to meet the appropriate performance level at
the next assessment following the next registration
will be academically suspended. A student is not permitted to be on
probation for two consecutive years.
Probationary Standards
Effective Hours of Credit Minimum G.P.A.
24-30 hours (4-5 courses) 1.80
33-60 hours (5 1/2-10 courses) 1.85
63-90 hours (10 1/2-15 courses) 1.90
93-120 hours (15 1/2-20 courses) 1.95
120+ hours (20+ courses) 2.00
Suspended students must remain out of the Faculty of Human
Ecology for one academic year from the date of suspension and
should apply for reinstatement in writing or in-person at the
Admissions Office no later than May 1.
Where it is mathematically impossible for a student to complete
the degree, a suspended student, after remaining out of the
Faculty for one calendar year, may attempt reinstatement. By
completing at least 12 credit hours in one term with a "D" or
better in all courses and a grade point of at least 2.0, the
student will be reinstated. The student will start the program
afresh, with previous grades of "C" or better applicable to the
program.
