丁香园AV

It is the responsibility of each student to be aware of faculty regulations as stated in this Calendar. Departmental and faculty advisors and staff are available for advice and guidance. However, the ultimate responsibility for completeness and correctness of course selection, for compliance with and completion of program and degree requirements and for observance of regulations and deadlines rests with the student.

The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) provides academic advising services to assist students to plan their program and course selection to satisfy degree requirements in collaboration with Student Services Academic Advising and Student Success and each FASS department.

Students in the FASS should seek advice from the following sources:

• Student Services Academic Advising and Student Success: first- and second-year undeclared students (less than 60 units completed) and students in academic difficulty (on academic probation or required to withdraw)
• Department advisors: students who have a declared major, wish to gain admission into the department's major or minor or wish to inquire about enrollment in a particular course
• Faculty advisors in AQ 3020: third- and fourth- year undeclared students (more than 60 units completed), students pursuing a Bachelor of Arts with two minors, students with a declared major who need to discuss other issues

Students who are approved in the Bachelor of Arts who have not yet declared a major, but have completed more than 60 units, students pursuing a Bachelor of Arts with two minors, and students in the Bachelor of General Studies should seek advice from the faculty advisors in AQ 3020.

All Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences undergraduate students must access :

• prior to first enrollment at 丁香园AV through , and
• during that term when they are completing their 45th unit, and
• during that term when they are completing their 90th unit

Students in certificate and post baccalaureate diploma programs must seek advice from their department advisor.

Declaring your major or two minors

Prior to or upon enrolling for the term in which the 61st unit is completed, students in the bachelor of arts program must formally declare and be accepted into a major program, a joint major program, two extended minor programs, an extended minor and a minor program, or two minor programs, and may apply for an honours program, subject to the regulations below. Program declaration establishes the exact major, extended minor, minor and honours requirements for graduation as they appear in the Calendar in effect at the time of declaration. Students are urged to keep a copy of this Calendar, known as the graduating Calendar, for reference.

Program requirements may be changed any time prior to graduation. A new formal declaration must be approved by the new program department and the Office of the Dean, Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences if a faculty change is involved. The Calendar then in effect becomes the new graduating Calendar, and the requirements it specifies for the program must be fulfilled.

University regulations governing the duplication of courses are rigorously applied in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. No more than five course duplications will be allowed.

Students currently enrolled in other 丁香园AV faculties must have a 2.0 grade point average, or greater, to enter the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences to pursue a Bachelor of Arts degree. In addition, students must be approved by the appropriate departments into a minimum of one major or two minors, as required for their Bachelor of Arts degree.

Students who withdraw, or are required to withdraw, while in the FASS and are subsequently readmitted to the University will be permitted to re-enter the FASS, even though their 丁香园AV cumulative grade point average is less than 2.00.

Students in first year experience programs may not apply to transfer into the FASS until the end of the second term following their admission to the first year experience programs.

Students may count any 丁香园AV course for which credit is received toward the bachelor of arts (BA), or bachelor of general studies (BGS) degrees with the exceptions of co-operative education courses, FAL X99 and FAN X99, EDUC 401, 402, 403, 405 and 406.

Only the first five course duplications will count toward any degree completed in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences.

Upper division courses completed within a BA or BGS can be used to satisfy the requirements of only one program. For example, upper division courses used to satisfy the upper division requirements of a major cannot be used to also satisfy the upper division requirements of a minor.

Students must complete the minimum requirements of a major in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences or two minors (including at least one minor in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences), as well as the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences degree requirements in order to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree.

In exceptional situations, a student may experience an unforeseen event outside of their control that prevents them from completing their BA degree with a major or two minors. Students experiencing such extenuating circumstances must meet with a Faculty advisor in AQ3020 to discuss their situation. If it is determined by the Faculty advisor that the student meets the criteria for possible approval for graduation with a Bachelor of General Studies (BGS) degree, then the student will submit a written explanation of their circumstances, outlining in detail why they are unable to continue pursuing a BA degree with a major or two minors, and will attach any relevant documentation that supports their request for approval under extenuating circumstances. Their application will be reviewed by the Associate Dean for the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, who will provide a final decision.

• at least 60 units that must be completed at 丁香园AV
