After each academic term, you will have your academic progress evaluated and an official academic standing will be assigned to you based on your grades, usually on the officially graded date.
Your academic progression in CFM is administered by the Faculty of Mathematics. You will be given an academic standing based on your entire academic performance to date. To see your academic standing, run an unofficial transcript in Quest.

MAV < 60% and/or After receiving one conditional standing, CFM students are expected to make improvements in the following academic term that would result in an academic standing of "good" or "excellent". Additional conditional standings may be granted at the discretion of the Co-Directors if the student shows significant improvement in their term average but are unsuccessful in meeting the MAV and/or SMAV requirements. |

Decision making for academic progression
At least three courses from either faculty is required to calculate the MAV or SMAV respectively. CFM students may have a MAV after 1A but will not have accumulated sufficient Arts courses to calculate a SMAV.
Students who are unsuccessful in meeting the academic requirements of CFM will be unable to continue in the CFM program and will normally be transferred to Honours Mathematics or Computer Science – depending on their current academic standing.
Common standings
Review the Summary of Academic Standings for a few of the most common standings.
Co-op eligibility
Since CFM is a co-op only program, your ability to continue in the program is not only dependent on meeting the academic requirements, but also remaining eligible for co-op.
There are a few ways you can risk becoming ineligible for co-op.
| Academic standing | Students with a “probation” or “marginal” academic standing, will normally be suspended from the employment process during their next academic term. After that term, suspended students will be eligible to apply for reinstatement to co-op. Provided that they are otherwise eligible for co-op, reinstatement will be automatic for applicants who have attained "Good" or "Excellent" academic standing as determined by the Faculty of Mathematics. In all cases, applications for reinstatement must be submitted no later than the end of the first complete week of the academic term for which reinstatement is requested. However, if after one full-time academic term (or equivalent) on suspension, students have not attained "Good" or "Excellent" standing, they will normally become ineligible for co-op and thus, CFM. |

| Professional development (PD) | Students with a “probation” or “marginal” academic standing, will normally be suspended from the employment process during their next academic term.

| Work terms | Failure to complete a minimum of 5 work terms will result in your inability to graduate with a BCFM. Students can submit a Petition to graduate with 4 successful work terms. These petitions may be granted in exceptional circumstances. |
