Promoted Excellent, Good, Satisfactory (EXCEL, GOOD, and SAT)
If you are a full-load, full-time student and receive a term average of 60% or more, you are promoted to the next term with a standing of Satisfactory, Good, or Excellent depending on your term average.
Promoted (Conditional)
If you are a full-load, full-time student who is taking a given academic term for the first time and have a term average of at least 60% and no more than two failed courses in the current term and no more than two failed and uncleared courses in total, then you are promoted (conditional). You will need to clear the failed courses in the manner specified by your department.
Required to Repeat
If you have an average above 50% but below 60% or have an average of more than 60% with three or more failures in an academic term, then you are required to repeat the academic term. This decision permits you to complete the work term following the failed academic term, but you are not permitted to return to repeat the failed term until one year after the start of the failed term (academic terms failed in fall terms are repeated in the next fall term and so on). Normally you will already be enrolled in a work term following the term with the required to repeat decision. You proceed with that work term; however the term following the work term (and before the repeated term) is a non-degree term.
May not proceed
As noted above in some cases you are permitted to have two courses below 50% in a given term as long as the term average exceeds 60%. One exception to this is when you have a total of more than two failed (but uncleared) courses on your record (including the current term). If you accumulate three or more failed/uncleared courses, you receive a decision of May not Proceed and are not permitted to proceed to the next academic term until you have reduced the number of uncleared courses. Normally you must reduce the number of failed courses to one before continuing in the program. You should contact your academic advisor for your specific situation.
Required to withdraw from engineering
You will receive this decision for a number of different reasons as listed in the undergraduate studies academic calendar under Engineering examinations and promotions academic decisions. The most common reasons are:
- earning a term average below 50% in a given term, or
- failing a course in a repeated term
In many cases you may apply for readmission as described in the undergraduate studies academic calendar. You should contact your academic advisor for additional information.
