 III

 Honours Economics: Co-operative Option

Honours Program

    All students must adhere to both the University
regulations and the school/department regulations unless the
written approval of both the Department and the Dean has been
obtained.
       The following regulations apply to all Honours Economics
      programs.
 1.
       Honours Economics students (with the exception of
      Third-Year co-op students) must meet requirements for progression
      to the next year of their program by April 30 of the current
      academic year. Third-Year co-op students must meet requirements
      for progression to Fourth Year by August 31 of the current
      academic year.
 2.
       Probation   See page 37 Academic Regulations Section.
 3.
       Honours Economics students who have not completed all of
      the courses specified for a particular year of their Honours
      Economics program may proceed to the next year of that program
      provided that they satisfy all GPA requirements.
 4.
       Students who have failed a course may proceed in an
      Honours Economics program, provided that the required average has
      been met. Such students must repeat a failed course if it is a
      required course. If it is not a course required by the program,
      students may repeat it or take an additional course.
      However, the `F' grade of a course not required by the
      program will be included in the student's GPA, if the course is
      not repeated.
 5.
       In exceptional cases a student may be exempted from
      completion of a required course if the appropriate grade has been
      attained in an equivalent or related course.
 6.
       Students may not declare a substitute for a course
      previously attempted.
 7.
       Fourth-Year students will normally meet graduation
      requirements by April 30 (regular) or August 31 (co-op) of the
      current academic year. Fourth-year students who have not met all
      of the requirements for graduation by those dates may proceed to
      meet those requirements within one calendar year of those dates.
      This provision does not apply to those students who enter Fourth
      Year on academic probation and who fail to clear probation at the
      end of the probationary period.
 8.
       A student who has successfully completed all of the
      courses of their Honours Economics program, but who has not
      achieved the GPA required for graduation from that program, may
      elect to receive a General Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics.

 Honours Economics with a Major or Minor in Another
Field
Students in Honours Economics programs may choose to organize
their elective courses in such a way as to meet the requirements
for a major or minor in a subject other than Economics.
Additional courses may be necessary to fulfil these requirements,
as well as those of the Honours program. The following
regulations will apply.
 1.
       All Common and Special Requirements for the major or
      minor must be fulfilled. (See pages 51-58).
 2.
       The student must achieve a GPA of at least 4.50 on
      all courses of the major or minor subject, or on all courses
      counted toward the interdepartmental major. This regulation does
      not apply when a greater minimum GPA is required for the
      secondary program chosen.
 3.
       An Honours student may receive designation for one
      General major and/or one minor.
 4.
       An Economics course counted toward the Honours
      program in Economics may not also be counted toward a General
      major or minor.
 5.
       One credit (or equivalent) taken on a Letter of
      Permission basis, may be counted towards the minor requirements.

 I Honours Economics
The program consists of 20 full-credit courses (or equivalent). A
minimum of 10 and a maximum of 14 credits are in Economics. Of
these a minimum of 3.5 and a maximum of 7.5 (or equivalent) are
Economics electives. See chart on page 85 for program
requirements.

 II Honours Economics: Finance and Accounting Option
The program consists of 20 full-credit courses (or equivalent),
8.5 of which are in Economics. A minimum of two credits must be

the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Ontario (see CA

    Beginning in the Second Year, students should seek
counselling, since additional courses are required by the
