Progression Requirements

The standard passing mark in each course is 50% (equivalent to a D grade or 1.0 grade points) unless otherwise stated. Certain courses require minimums greater than 50% and/or have mandatory components to achieve a passing grade.

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.

Re-admission to a Program

Students on Academic Suspension may apply for re-admission to the same program after a period of two semesters following the date of suspension. Re-admission is not guaranteed. Students are subject to the current published admission requirements. If re-admitted, the student will be placed on Probationary Academic Standing.

Program Transfers

Students on Academic Suspension, Probationary or Conditional Academic Standing may apply to transfer to another program at the College. If accepted to the new program, they will maintain their academic standing unless they are on Suspension in which case they will be placed on Probationary Academic Standing in the new program.

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.
