GENERAL REGULATIONS ON SCHOLARSHIPS,<br />
AWARDS, AND BURSARIES<br />
1. Entrance scholarships will be offered upon receipt of all academic<br />
records necessary for admission. Approximate date of final<br />
entrance scholarship announcements: early to late August,<br />
following receipt of final grades.<br />
2. In-course scholarships and awards are available to students<br />
having completed at least two consecutive terms of fall/winter<br />
study and with a minimum of 30 credits with no failures at Algoma<br />
University. For students in co-operative education programs, the<br />
two terms of study may be separated by a continuous period<br />
of co-op employment of up to 12 months duration, but awards<br />
are calculated in May and spring session grades will not be<br />
considered as part of the 30 credits. For all others, first priority will<br />
be given to those who complete courses in a regular Septemberto-April<br />
session. Approximate date of in-course scholarship<br />
announcements: early September.<br />
3. Unless otherwise stated, scholarships and awards are tenable<br />
only at Algoma University, and only if the candidate maintains<br />
an enrolment status appropriate with the award. For most<br />
scholarships, this means retaining a course load of 30 credits<br />
over two consecutive terms of fall/winter study.<br />
4. Students who are found to be in violation of the Student Code of<br />
Conduct, <strong>Academic</strong> will be deemed ineligible and all university<br />
scholarships revoked for all subsequent terms. If the violation<br />
occurs prior to the awarding of the scholarship monies, the<br />
student will forfeit the award for the term. If violation occurs<br />
after the awarding of the scholarship for the current term, the<br />
university will not seek restitution, however, in both instances,<br />
the scholarship will be terminated for all subsequent terms.<br />
