(1) | Continuous Registration: Students must register in their program on a continuous basis to ensure a place in the program. Students who want to temporarily discontinue their program must obtain prior approval for a Leave of Absence by submitting a request to the Undergraduate Programs Office. Discontinuance without permission requires the student to seek readmission and, in this case, readmission is not guaranteed.
 Normally, a Leave of Absence is granted only if all the following conditions are met:
a. | a minimum of  18 must be completed within the degree program before the term in which the Leave of Absence begins
| b. | the student is in good academic standing
| c. | the Leave of Absence period does not exceed 12 months
| d. | no transferable courses are being completed at another institution during the Leave of Absence period.
|
|
(2) | Normal Course Load: A normal full academic course load is 30 taken during Fall/Winter.
a. | Fall/Winter: A normal full course load in the Fall and Winter Terms is 15 taken each term, for a total of 30.
| b. | Spring/Summer: A normal full course load in the Spring and Summer Terms is 6 taken each term, for a total of 12.
|
Notes
| (1) | To complete the BPE/BEd Combined Degree program in the recommended five years, students must take an average of 33 each Fall/Winter.
| (2) | Students are permitted to take a maximum of 18 in each Fall and Winter term and 7.5 in each Spring and Summer term.
|
Normally, permission to enrol in extra courses (beyond 18 in Fall and Winter or 7.5 in Spring and Summer) is not granted. Where a student wishes to enrol in more than the maximum allowed credits during any term, a request must be submitted to the Undergraduate Programs Office. Such requests will be considered only if the student has obtained a minimum GPA of 3.3 on a minimum of 24 during the previous Fall/Winter period.
|
(3) | Directed Studies Courses: Students are normally allowed a maximum of 6 Directed Studies courses to count toward their degree program.
In order to be eligible to complete a Directed Studies course, students must have completed a minimum of 30 and be in good academic standing. Students must complete an application form to enrol in a Directed Studies course, available at the Undergraduate Programs Office.
