ACADEMIC POLICIES AND REGULATIONS
13.7 End of Term Academic Status
At the end of each semester a student’s exit/readmission status
shall be denoted on a student’s grade report or transcript with
one of the following:
13.7.1 Clear Standing (G0, G1, G2)
The student has passed at least 50% of all the courses for
which a grade was awarded and has a cumulative average of
at least 60%
13.7.2 Academic Warning (AW)
This standing applies to first semester students only. The
student has passed 50% of the courses for which a grade was
awarded, but has a cumulative average of less than 60%.
13.7.3 Conditional (CR, C1, C2)
The student passed 50% of the courses for which a grade was
awarded and has a cumulative average between 50% to 59%,
except in the case where these conditions were met in the
previous semester and the student was admitted to the current
semester on condition. In this case the student is required to
withdraw.
13.7.4 Withdrawal (WD) (R1, R2, R3)
A student who, in a given semester, meets the requirements for
conditional standing but who earned a Conditional Standing for
his/her previous academic semester is required to withdraw for
one semester. If the requirements for Conditional Standing are
met as a result of grades earned during the Technical Session
and the student earned a Conditional Standing in the previous
semester, the student will be awarded a Conditional Standing
and will be conditionally readmitted to the next semester or
session.
A student who passes fewer than 50% of the courses for which
he/she is registered in a semester is required to withdraw for
one semester.
Technical or Summer semester sessions do not constitute a
Semester.
A student whose cumulative average is less than 50% is
required to withdraw for one semester.
13.7.5 Academic Dismissal (R3)
A student who has been required to withdraw from this or any
other public post-secondary Institution on three (3) occasions
will be Academically Dismissed (AD). In this instance, a student
may be readmitted to the Marine Institute only in exceptional
circumstances and only upon approval of the Admissions
Committee.
14. TRANSCRIPTS
A transcript of a student’s academic record is available online by
accessing the Student Web, or by contacting the Marine Institute
Office of the Registrar. No transcript will be issued while the
student is financially indebted to the Institute.
15. EXAMINATIONS
Dates of final and supplementary examinations will be set in
advance. No more than two final examinations will be scheduled
for a student on any one exam day. In the event that a student is
scheduled for more than two exams in the same day then they
can apply for a deferred exam. The method of evaluation is set
out in the Official Course Description.
Instructors shall not be permitted to give tests or quizzes worth
more than 10% of the total final mark in the two week period
prior to the start of semester examinations. As well no previously
unassigned work may be assigned in the last two weeks of the
semester. This regulation does not apply to:
• Courses with no final semester examination.
• Laboratory examinations.
• Assignments given prior to this period which are due in the two
weeks prior to examinations.
• Courses offered in the Technical Session.
16. EXAMINATION RE-READS
Any student may apply to have a final examination re-read,
whether or not he/she has passed the course. The application
must be made in writing to the Registrar within one month
after the student has been officially informed of the result of
the examination(s). The appropriate fee must accompany the
application. The fee will be refunded if the student’s grade is
raised once the final examination is re-read. If the grade remains
the same or is lowered, the fee is not refundable.
If the student’s grade is changed as the result of a reread, the
revised grade will replace the original result on the student’s
record and will be denoted by the grade type “RR” on the
transcript except in the case where the original grade was a
passing grade and a re-read results in a failing grade. In such
instances, the original grade will remain on the student’s record.
17. SUPPLEMENTARY EXAMINATIONS
REGULATIONS
Marine Institute Supplementary Examination Regulations apply to
students in Advanced Diploma, Diploma of Technology, Technician
Diploma, and Technical Certificate programs.
• The privilege of writing supplementary examinations is limited
to students who:
(a)
(b)
have failed no more than two subjects;
have obtained at least 70 % of the specified passing
grade in each subject failed;
(c) have obtained a term or session average of at least 55%;
(d)

in question.
• Only one attempt to write a supplementary examination will be
permitted in each subject allowed under these regulations.
• Students are permitted to write a maximum of two
supplementary examinations for the duration of their enrollment
in a program. Once a student has written two supplementary
examinations, he/she must repeat any failed courses in order
to earn credit for these courses.

workshop or drawing work to the satisfaction of the School, is
ineligible for supplementary examinations.
