Faculty Policies
5. The student’s employer supports the request in
writing (if appropriate).
6. The request is properly documented.
Before making a formal request to the Standings
and Promotions Committee to rearrange an
academllc/work-term sequence, it is often
advantageous for the student to discuss the situation
with a Co-ordinator and Faculty Advisor. If the request
is approved by the Standings and Promotions
Committee, it is the student’s responsibility to deal
with any timetabling difficulties which may arise and to
make any necessary preregistration arrangements for
subsequent terms.
iii) Course Load During Academic Terms
While registered for an academic term, Co-op students
are normally expected to maintain a full-time course
load of three or more half-credits, unless they have
already satisfied the complete-term and basic-term
registration requirements for an Honours degree and
are within one or two half-credits of fulfilling the
academic degree requirements for their program. (See
the sectilon “Satisfying Basic And Complete-Term
Registration Requirements For A BMath Honours
Degree” on page 13:6). While on a work term, Co-op
students are limited to one half-credit course, unless
they have written support from their employer to take
two half-credit courses.
5.2 Course Load
Students may not normally preregister for more than a
standard course load of five half-credits per term. In
exceptional circumstances, Honours students with
strong academic records may be permitted to add
further courses during the course-change period at the
beginning of term, subject to the approval of their
Faculty Advisor. General students may not normally
add courses beyond a standard course load of five
half-credits per term.
When seeking approval to take additional courses
beyond a standard course load, students should
ensure that they have their most recent mark report
for consultation with their Faculty Advisor. Any
students carrying more than a standard course load of
five half c:redits at the end of the two-week course-
change period may not normally drop any courses
subsequent to that date.
5.3 Year Classification
For official registration purposes, a student’s “year”
will normally be determined by the number of half-
credits (N) achieved to date:
