1. A student’s cumulative average (out of 100) will be a weighted average based on all grades submitted.  The student’s term and annual reports will include their cumulative average, sessional average, cumulative GPA, and sessional GPA.
   
2. A numerical grade for every student registered for a course will be submitted, with the exception of Community Leadership Placements.
   
3. A cumulative percentage average and a sessional percentage average will be calculated for every student.  The sessional average will use grades from the fall and winter terms and the spring/summer terms.
   
4. A student may be allowed to repeat a course and the higher grade obtained will be used in the calculation of the cumulative and sessional (if appropriate) average.   If a student fails the course on a second attempt after first passing, then the credits obtained for that course on the first attempt will be kept.  A student may attempt a course for a third time only with departmental approval.  A student may not receive an “Unsatisfactory” grade in more than one Community Leadership Placement throughout the program. If a second “Unsatisfactory” is achieved, the student will be required to withdraw from the Physical and Health Education Program.
   
5. If the cumulative average is below 50%, then the student will be required to withdraw for at least one year.  The earliest possible start date for re-admission is the Fall term following the 1st anniversary of the withdrawal.  If the cumulative average is between 50 and 59 (averages rounded up), then the student will be placed on academic probation.  Students may use marks from the spring term to clear probation or withdrawal status.
   
6. All students placed on probation will be restricted to a maximum of 24 credits for the fall and winter terms following (maximum four courses per term).
   
7. If a student does not clear academic probation, then he/she will be required to withdraw for at least one year.
   
8. All students required to withdraw may appeal the decision to the University’s Admissions, Petitions and Promotions (APP) committee at a specified date.  Students who have been required to withdraw from the university may petition the APP Committee to remove up to 18 credits with regards to calculation of the cumulative average.  However, all grades will be included on the university transcript.
   
9. In order to graduate with an honours degree, a student must have a cumulative average of at least 70%.
   
10. If a student has been admitted on a scholarship which may be renewed based on the best 30 credits attempted by the student in the fall/winter terms.  A student must have attempted at least 30 credits in the fall/winter term in order to be considered for scholarship renewal or upper year scholarships.
    
11. Upper year scholarships will be based on sessional average (fall/winter terms) and will require that the student complete at least 30 credits during those terms. 
    
12. Any student who is admitted on academic probation (e.g. transfer students on academic probation, mature students, and students with less than the minimum required admission average from high school) will have 18 credits (maximum three courses per term in the fall and winter terms) to clear probation.  That is, they will stay on probation until 18 credits have been completed and once 18 credits have been completed their cumulative average will be calculated. If it is at least 60%, then they may proceed as full-time students in good standing.  If the cumulative average is between 50 and 59% then they may proceed on probation (maximum 18 credits) and will be evaluated after 30 credits attempted.  A student admitted on probation with a cumulative average of less than 55% after 18 credits will be required to withdraw for at least one year.

Note: Upon completing fourth year, those students whose initial overall averages are below 70% may graduate with a 4-Year General degree or have the option of taking (or retaking) additional courses in order to qualify for the Honours degree. This does not apply to students in the BPHE program.
