55.7.1 Grades Required in Courses Presented for the Bachelor's Degree
Courses presented for the Bachelor's degree are limited to those in which a grade of at least D has been attained. If a student has successfully completed more than the number of credits required for the degree, the courses presented to satisfy all the requirements are chosen to the student’s advantage. | |
A student must achieve a Graduation Grade Point Average (GGPA) of at least 2.0 to be eligible for a bachelor’s degree. The GGPA is based on the last 90 presented for the degree (whether earned at Augustana Faculty, University of Alberta or elsewhere). | |
A student must achieve a GPA of at least 2.0 in each declared area of study. Each GPA major or minor is calculated over all presented courses that apply to the area of study, including those courses contributing to the first 30. | |
The degree is awarded “with distinction” to a student who achieves a GGPA (as defined in item 2, above) of at least 3.5. |
