Progression Requirements

You must complete all courses listed in your model route to graduate.

If you fail or withdraw from a course, you must repeat the course to graduate.

Many courses are taught only once per year but may be considered prerequisites for courses in subsequent semesters. Consult your program model route and your success advisor before dropping a course to be sure you understand the consequences.

Many Journalism courses after two require a C grade (60 per cent) to pass. An exception is the field placement – JO-350 – that is graded as Pass/Fail.

The onus is on the student to monitor academic standing on my.centennialcollege.ca.

Upon successful completion of all courses in the model route you may apply to graduate. Convocation is a celebration of your success and the success of your classmates. Join your teachers, your families and your fellow students at this impressive event, which takes place in June.

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.

 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 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.
