In the following it must be understood that the standard of reference is the typical Canadian university curriculum and university system.
Admission to a graduate degree program as a regular student is granted, on recommendation of the Department concerned, to:
The minimum requirement for admission to graduate studies in the Faculty of Arts is a Bachelor’s degree, or equivalent, normally of four years’ duration, in an honours or majors program or equivalent from a recognized university or college. The applicant will ordinarily be expected to have achieved an average of at least second class (“B”, i.e. 70% to 79.9%) standing in the work of the last four semesters or the last two undergraduate years.
Admission to a graduate course is normally based upon the same requirements as for admission to a graduate program, with exceptions needing the approval both of the Program Administrator and of the Chair of the Department within which the student is registered.
Admission, whether as a regular, a provisional, or a special student, is in all cases based upon the recommendation of the department concerned and is subject to the approval of the Graduate Studies Committee.
Admission to advanced courses of instruction or to the privileges of research does not imply admission to candidacy for a higher degree.
