Program Model Route

The courses required for completion of your program are outlined in your model route. Every program has a set of courses that you are required to successfully complete in order to graduate from the program. Your model route shows the sequence of courses by semester that you are required to take, including experiential learning (e.g., work terms and field placements). Your model route also shows any pre-requisites and co-requisites. You will be expected to complete the courses and other requirements outlined in the model route that was in effect when you began your program unless there are program changes (program changes will be communicated to you).

P = Pre-requisite: A pre-requisite is a course that you must take before taking other courses. I

C = Co-requisite: A co-requisite is a course that is dependent on another course and must be taken in the same semester. If you fail one of the identified (two) courses, you will be required to repeat both courses.

Notes
Program Completion Requirements

The Recreation and Leisure Services curriculum has been set up in such a way that most courses flow from semester to semester; that is courses in the first semester form the basis for those in the second semester and so on. As such, many courses are (required) pre-requisites for other courses. Therefore, if you do not pass a pre-requisite, you cannot proceed to the subsequent course. Furthermore, you will not be able to repeat the failed course for a full calendar year. By failing a first semester core course which is a pre-requisite to a winter core course you will in all likelihood have to come back for a third or fourth year.

Minimum Grade Requirements for Field Placement

A student with a GPA under 2.0 will not be permitted to register for any field placement course. Please refer to the Progression Academic Standing Policy

Minimum Grade Requirements for Graduation

A minimum “C” grade in all core curriculum classes is required in order to meet the requirement to graduate.

“I” Grades

An “I” grade on a report card means that the course requirements have yet to be completed. It is the student’s responsibility to initiate contact with the faculty member to arrange for completion of the course requirements. “I” grades not dealt with automatically become an “F” grade (failure) within one calendar year.

Repeating Courses

To repeat a course you previously failed requires:

  1. That space is available.
  2. No conflict with the current schedule issued.
  3. Payment for a second time.

When a student repeats the identical course and achieves a higher grade, the new grade will replace the previous one in the calculation of the cumulative GPA and the original lower grade will no longer be included in the Cumulative Grade Point Average (GPA). The higher grade for the course will be used for the GPA calculation, but both attempts (grades) are recorded on the academic transcript.

An academic transcript represents the entire academic history of a student at CentennialCollege; all grades are recorded on the academic transcript.

The maximum number of times a student may enroll into a specific course is two (2). After a second failure in the same course, the student must find and register for a course that is equivalent at another college. (Pending program approval that the course is in fact an equivalent.)
