Master's students must achieve a minimum of 68% in all courses taken. However, up to 6 credits of coursework with grades of 60-67% may be counted towards your master's program.

If you have to repeat a failed required course, you must obtain a minimum mark of 74%. Higher minimum marks may be required by your graduate program or the Faculty of Graduate Studies.

If you do not improve your grade by repeating the course or taking an alternate course and obtaining a satisfactory grade, you may be required to withdraw from your graduate program.

If you obtain grades of 60-67% in an excessive number of courses (more than 6 credits) you may be required to withdraw. You will be informed of unsatisfactory academic progress in writing before any action regarding withdrawal is taken.

For master's students registered in the Faculty of Graduate Studies, a standing of Fail (F) will be assigned to courses with grades that fall below 60%.

If you repeat a course, both marks will appear on your transcript. The higher mark will be used to determine promotion in a program and in any decision to admit you to or withdraw you from a program. For all other purposes, averages will be calculated using both marks
