Course Requirements

Required Grades

All required and complementary courses used to fulfill program requirements, including the Freshman / Foundation Year, must be completed with a grade of C or better. Students who fail to obtain a satisfactory grade in a required course (core, part of a concentration, minor, major or honours program) must repeat the course. Course substitution will be allowed only in special cases; students should consult their academic adviser. Normally students are permitted to repeat a failed course only once (failure is considered to be a grade of less than C or the administrative failures of J and KF). If a required course is failed a second time, a student must appeal in writing to the Director, BCom Program for permission to take the course a third time. If permission is denied by the Director, BCom Program, the student must withdraw from the program. If the failed course is a complementary course required by the program, a student may choose to replace it with another complementary course.

D Grade

If a student chooses to substitute another complementary course for a complementary course in which a D was received, credit for the first course will still be given, but as an elective. If a student repeats a required course in which a D was received, credit will be given only once. In either case, both grades of D count toward the CGPA.

Policy on Online Courses

  • A maximum of 6 credits of courses taught through online education may be used towards your degree at ±«ÓãÖ±²¥. Courses taught through online education from institutions other than ±«ÓãÖ±²¥ will be approved as transfer credits under the following conditions:
    • the course is given by a government-accredited, degree-granting institution acceptable to ±«ÓãÖ±²¥;
    • the course counts for credit towards degrees granted at the institution giving the course (i.e., not courses taken towards a certificate/diploma, nor offered through Continuing Studies);
    • The combined total of regular course credits and online education course credits may not exceed the permitted maximum number of credits per term according to Faculty regulations. 

Note: online Accounting courses are not permitted since they would not meet the requirement for Professional Accounting accreditation.

Students will have to request approval from a BCom advisor to take an on-line course that is not an elective course. Any student requesting approval to take on-line courses at another institution will have to go through the regular transfer credit assessment system to have the course approved prior to taking It.
