Academic Standing

Your Academic Standing is an indication of your current progress toward completion of your Program. At the end of each Semester an Academic Standing is assigned. This is calculated according to the proportion of load passed (undergraduate students), or cumulative number of failures (postgraduate students).

Academic Standing assessment alerts the student and their Program Office as early as possible to any problem that may prevent the student graduating in minimum time, or (in more extreme cases) that may prevent the student graduating at all. With early intervention by a University academic advisor, the more serious consequences of a student’s continued poor performance may be prevented.

Most students have Good Standing, because they have made satisfactory progress in their studies. If your Academic Standing is other than Good Standing, you will be invited to see an Academic Advisor who can help you plan to get back on track.
