After first year, WLU-registered students who remain eligible to continue their studies in the double degree program are guaranteed automatic admission to the Co-op Option. Refer to the Co-operative Education section later in this chapter. The WLU co-op process involves three (or four at a student's discretion) co-op work terms intermixed with the ten study terms, beginning with a first co-op work term in the January-to-April period between the third and fourth study terms. The earlier May-to-August term between the second and third study terms is an "off" term (where students are on their own for the term, similar to regular-stream students).

For UW-registered students, the co-op process involves four (or five at a student's discretion) co-op work terms intermixed with the 10 study terms. The first of these work terms occurs during the May-to-August period between the second and third study terms, thus replacing the corresponding "off" term for WLU-registered students by an extra work term. With this one exception of the first May-to-August period, the term sequencing for UW-registered students is identical to the one for WLU-registered students.

With the sequencing of study terms and work terms indicated above, the normal duration for this program is four and two-thirds calendar years (or five calendar years at a student's discretion). Only under especially mitigating circumstances, and with the approval of both universities, can the term sequencing attached to the double degree program be altered, and such instances will usually result in a delay (possibly as much as one calendar year) of the graduation date.

All double degree program students, regardless of their home university affiliation, are required to satisfy all term-by-term progression requirements of both Laurier's School of Business and Economics and UW's Faculty of Mathematics to remain eligible to continue in the program, and to meet all graduation requirements of both institutions to be eligible for the two degrees. More specifically, students must ensure that their course selection each term, their academic performance level, and their academic conduct in general, comply with all the policies, procedures, regulations and requirements of both universities. Failure to do so will normally result in students being required to withdraw from the double degree program. Such students may remain eligible to enrol in the (single degree) Laurier BBA program (although not necessarily in the Co-op Option) or to enrol in another appropriate (single degree) UW Honours BMath plan respectively, depending upon their individual circumstances.

The BU 111/121 courses must be completed without repeat by April 30. For those students required to take CS 131, it may be used as one of the four elective courses.
Year 2	BU227 BU231 BU247 BU288	STAT 231		Refer to NOTE below	20 0.5-credits by December 31. The required BU courses are integrated sets that must be taken concurrently.

During years 3, 4 and 5, students must complete a minimum of 5 300 or 400 level BU elective 0.5-credits.	30 0.5-credits by December 31. The required BU courses are integrated sets that must be taken concurrently.
Year 4	BU481				40 0.5-credits by December 31
Year 5	BU491				52 0.5-credits to graduate

(*) These dates represent 4 months after the end of each 'B' term (i.e., even-numbered study terms – which all occur in spring after first year).

Note: The UW calculus and algebra courses MATH 137/138/237 and MATH 135/136/235 may be replaced by the advanced sections MATH 147/148/247 and MATH 145/146/245 respectively.

It is recommended that students try to complete at least 21 0.5-credit courses by the end of Year 2. This may be accomplished by taking 6 0.5 credits in one academic term, or by taking an elective course by distance education during an off term or a co-op term.

For details about the various UW Honours BMath policies, procedures, regulations and requirements that apply to this double degree program, consult the UW Undergraduate Calendar and/or one of UW's academic program advisors.
