Honours Economics Program Requirements

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: refer to the Progression section of the Undergraduate University Regulations chapter. Students who fail to meet GPA requirements for progression to Year 2 of the program are not eligible for probation.
  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.

For information on the Co-operative Option, refer to the section later in this chapter.
