Progression Requirements
What happens if we don’t achieve or maintain a 7.0 GPA?
“In the Laurier-Nipissing Concurrent Education program students must maintain the required GPA of 7.0 in each year, in both their Wilfrid Laurier (BA) courses, and Nipissing (BEd) courses, progress in their Honours program with a minimum Honours GPA of 5.0, where a minimum Honours GPA of 7.0 is required for graduation, as well as pass the “Observation and Practice Teaching” course, to continue in the program. Students who receive an average of 67% to 69% (or GPA of 6.0) in their Laurier courses are permitted to progress into the following academic year, with a status of ‘on probation’. Probation requirements hold that students are given one year to raise their academic average to 70% in order to continue in the Concurrent Education program.”
