Promotion Standards
The minimum requirements for continuing as a full-time student are based upon the Cumulative Weighted Average. The Cumulative Weighted Average required for promotion to the next year will be based upon the number of credit units of the degree program that the student has completed.

Required to Discontinue
Probation: Students on
Probation may take a maximum of 24 credit units and must take required courses previously failed. Probationary action cannot be formally appealed.
Required to Discontinue: Students who are
Required to Discontinue have the right to appeal this decision. Appeals must be made, in writing, not later than June 30, to the Assistant Dean, College of Kinesiology. Students on
Probation two consecutive years are
Required to Discontinue. Consideration of appeals normally include as possibilities:
- permission to continue as a full-time student.
- permission to continue as a probationary student.
- denial of appeal.
Students will be granted an appeal only in extenuating circumstances.
Students who have been
Required to Discontinue may not register in the College until a full academic year has elapsed. Students who have been
Required to Discontinue may refrain from university-level study and apply for automatic readmission to Kinesiology in the subsequent year. Alternatively, these students may also register in another college or another post secondary institution and apply for re-admission to Kinesiology as a transfer student in the subsequent year. Applicants should note that meeting the minimum transfer requirements does not guarantee admission. Credit for courses taken in Open Studies, in another college, or at another post-secondary institution during the
Required to Discontinue year will be determined by the College.
Note:- For the calculation of averages:
a) Attempted courses are courses continued beyond the last date for dropping a course without academic penalty (see Important Dates section).
b) For incomplete courses, the alternative grade submitted will be used for average purposes.
c) Absences from final examinations, other than those for which a deferred examination has been granted, will be counted as zero, or grade to that point. - Students with averages minimally above these averages may receive a letter advising them of their situation.
- Students may drop a course at any time, but should note carefully that a course dropped after the academic penalty deadline (see Important Dates section) is regarded as a failed course, and that a mark of zero or grade to that point will be used in the calculation of the student's Sessional Weighted Average. Exceptions will be made when the course is dropped on medical grounds, or for other reasons approved by the Assistant Dean.
