Progression Requirements

The standard passing mark in each course is 60% (equivalent to a C grade or 2.0 GPA ) unless otherwise stated.

Students are required to complete any pre-requisites before enrolling in a course. Failing a course with a co-requisite may require repeating both courses.

Students are expected to achieve, each academic term a Term Grade Point Average (TGPA) of at least 2.0 to remain in Good Academic Standing. Students who do not achieve the minimum TGPA will be placed on either Conditional or Probationary Standing. Continued unsatisfactory academic performance may require the student to be placed on suspension or debarment.

If you fail one course, you may re-enroll to repeat the course the next time that course is offered. If that course is a pre-requisite for another course, you cannot take progress to that course until you have successfully completed the failed course. You will be put in Conditional or Probationary Academic Standing. See Academic Progression section below.

If you fail a course or do not take a course in the required sequence you may have a sequencing problem because courses may be taught only once per year and you may not be able to take the failed course for at least another full year. This may mean it will cost you time to get back in proper course sequence. Refer to the program model route for current pre-requisite requirements. When you fail a course, you cannot be guaranteed the opportunity to repeat the course the next time it is offered. This will depend on available space after all regularly scheduled students have registered for the course.

Graduation Requirements

Students must pass all courses on the model route and any other program requirements, including experiential learning (e.g., co-operative education, field/clinical placements, etc.), in order to graduate.

Students must also achieve an overall program Grade Point Average (GPA) of 2.0 to be eligible to graduate.

Students must have completed at least 25% of the program at Centennial College, excluding prior learning assessment and recognition (PLAR) and transfer credit (TCR).

Students must complete the requirements of the program in effect at the time of graduation unless the Dean or designate approves alternative arrangements in writing. This requirement includes any changes made to future semesters during the student’s studies but does not include changes in semesters that have already been completed unless required for the future semester courses.
