Program Requirements

The minimum course grade to pass each subject is 50% or “D.” Some subjects may require a passing grade in both practical and theoretical components in order to pass the course. The cumulative GPA requirement to graduate is 2.0, or, 2.5 for co-op and post-graduate certificate programs.

Graduation

Students must successfully complete all program requirements in order to be eligible for graduation, and may be required to complete specific requirements prior to progressing from one level of their program to the subsequent level.

The student is responsible for knowing the requirements for graduation from their program of study. The following conditions must be met to graduate:

• Students must have completed, at Centennial College, at least twenty-five percent of the courses for their credential, excluding Prior Learning. Assessment and Recognition (PLAR) and Transfer Credit (TCR).
• Students must successfully complete all courses in the program.
• Students registered in a co-op program must successfully complete all co-op requirements.
• Students must have completed 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 curriculum during the student’s program enrolment period. Changes made to curriculum are not retroactive so that any revisions that occur during the study period, from intake to graduation, will be effective only for semesters that the student has not yet enrolled.

See the Experiential Learning Requirements section for information on work terms, field placements, clinical placements, or other required experiential learning components.

Course Requirements – Course Outlines

Course outlines specify relevant course learning outcomes to be achieved and assessments that measure achievement of that learning. Course outlines also offer a general description of the course, its content, requirements, and required learning resources (e.g., textbooks, equipment/materials). Course outlines clearly communicate expectations to learners concerning requirements for admission to the course (e.g.., pre-requisites and co-requisites), successful completion of the course, and other course-specific policies and procedures. Ensure you review the course outlines for each of your courses to be aware of requirements and expectations. BE SURE TO KEEP A COPY OF EVERY COURSE OUTLINE IN YOUR PROGRAM IN YOUR OWN PERSONAL STORAGE.  COURSE OUTLINES ARE NOT ACCESSIBLE TO STUDENTS AFTER THE SEMESTER END DATE.  REQUESTS FOR COURSE OUTLINES TO BE RETRIEVED FROM ARCHIVES MAY HAVE APPLICABLE FEES.
