Bachelor of Arts
Bachelor of Science
Degree students may begin their studies in the B.A. or in the B.Sc. degree as Undeclared Students. This means that they have not yet chosen a program within the degree. Undeclared students normally must apply to enter a program before beginning their second year of study. The Student Academic Success Centre offers support to Undeclared students in making this decision.
Academic Standing for Undeclared Students
For purposes of Academic Performance Evaluation, Undeclared students are assessed using only the Overall CGPA.
Course Selection for Undeclared Students
To give themselves the greatest range of choices when selecting a program, Undeclared students should conform to the following guidelines in selecting their courses.
Bachelor of Arts
Undeclared B.A. students should register in:
- A B.A. First-year seminar (FYSM);
- Courses in at least three different disciplines leading to programs within the B.A.
Bachelor of Science
Undeclared B.Sc. students should register in:
1. 2.0 credits in Experimental Science | 2.0 | |
2. 1.0 credits in Mathematics | 1.0 | |
3. 1.0 credit in Mathematics, Experimental Science or Computer Science | 1.0 | |
