    the General major is governed by the regulations which
    determine progression in General degree programs.
 2. The student must achieve a cumulative GPA of at least 4.50 on
    all courses of the major or minor subject, or on all courses
    counted toward the interdepartmental major or option. 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 only one
    General major and/ or minor, or option other than the
    Administration, Internship, and Professional Experience Program
    Options.

 The Option  is available in the Faculty of Arts and Science to
offer Honours students an educational alternative. A number of
students find their academic program more purposeful when pursued
on the basis of incorporating supervised work experience, related
to their field of study, as part of their degree requirements.

    The program requires students to complete two work terms of at
least 10 weeks each, in approved employment related to their
discipline. Normally work terms will be completed during the summer
after Second and Third Year, however, work term requirements may
also be fulfilled through full- or part-time positions scheduled
during the academic year. Students may not begin a work term before
having completed at least four
academic terms.

    The Option is available in the following Honours
programs:
Anthropology
Biology
Computing and Computer Electronics

through the program. Students successfully completing the option

    The development of suitable work term positions for
students is under the direction of the Department of Co-operative
Education. Students apply to employers with whom they are

is made to ensure that suitable employment is available for Co-op
students. Students are compensated by their employer for work
performed unless students elect to accept volunteer positions.
A Co-op fee is payable in each academic term of Second and Third
Year.
