Progression
Progression is assessed at the end of the Winter term (April)
How is your GPA calculated? The Nipissing average is calculated using Education courses only, and
the Laurier GPA is calculated using all grades at Laurier as well as the required Nipissing Arts courses (PSYC 2020, SOCI 2091 and SOCI 2092).
Progression
Progression requirements are as follows: Students must maintain an overall GPA of 7.0 in each year, in their Wilfrid
Laurier (BA) courses, and an overall average of 70% in their Nipissing (BEd) courses.
To progress in the Honours program students much achieve a minimum Honours GPA of 5.0, where a minimum Honours GPA of 7.0 is required for graduation.
Students with an overall GPA below 6.0 in their Laurier courses will be withdrawn from the Concurrent Education program.
Students with an overall GPA between 6.00-6.99 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 (inclusive of the summer term), to raise their overall GPA to the 7.0 requirement in order to continue in the Concurrent Education program.
All students required to withdraw may appeal the decision to the Undergraduate Standing and Petitions Committee, at a specified date. Guidelines for the Operation of the Standing and Petitions Committee can be found within the Student Policies section in the Index.
