Learning Outcomes
On December 5, 2012, the University of Guelph Senate approved five University-wide Learning Outcomes as the basis from which to guide the development of undergraduate degree
programs, specializations and courses:
1. Critical and Creative Thinking
2. Literacy
3. Global Understanding
4. Communicating
5. Professional and Ethical Behaviour
These learning outcomes are also intended to serve as a framework through which our educational expectations are clear to students and the broader public; and to inform the process
of outcomes assessment through the quality assurance process (regular reviews) of programs and departments.
An on-line guide to the learning outcomes, links to the associated skills, and detailed rubrics designed to support the development and assessment of additional program and
discipline-specific outcomes, are available for reference on the Learning Outcomes website.
1. Critical and Creative Thinking

Critical and creative thinking is a concept in which one applies logical principles, after much inquiry and analysis, to solve problems in with a high degree of innovation, divergent
thinking and risk taking. Those mastering this outcome show evidence of integrating knowledge and applying this knowledge across disciplinary boundaries. Depth and breadth of
understanding of disciplines is essential to this outcome.
In addition, Critical and Creative Thinking includes, but is not limited to, the following outcomes: Inquiry and Analysis; Problem Solving; Creativity; and Depth and Breadth
of Understanding.
2. Literacy
Literacy is the ability to extract information from a variety of resources, assess the quality and validity of the material, and use it to discover new knowledge. The comfort in using
quantitative literacy also exists in this definition, as does using technology effectively and developing visual literacy.
In addition, Literacy includes, but is not limited to, the following outcomes: Information Literacy, Quantitative Literacy, Technological Literacy, and Visual Literacy.
3. Global Understanding:
Global understanding encompasses the knowledge of cultural similarities and differences, the context (historical, geographical, political and environmental) from which these arise,
and how they are manifest in modern society. Global understanding is exercised as civic engagement, intercultural competence and the ability to understand an academic discipline
outside of the domestic context.
In addition, Global Understanding includes, but is not limited to, the following outcomes: Global Understanding, Sense of Historical Development, Civic Knowledge and
Engagement, and Intercultural Competence.
4. Communicating
Communicating is the ability to interact effectively with a variety of individuals and groups, and convey information successfully in a variety of formats including oral and written
communication. Communicating also comprises attentiveness and listening, as well as reading comprehension. It includes the ability to communicate and synthesize information,
arguments, and analyses accurately and reliably.
In addition, Communicating includes, but is not limited to, the following outcomes: Oral Communication, Written Communication, Reading Comprehension, and Integrative
Communication.
5. Professional and Ethical Behaviour

Professional and ethical behaviour requires the ability to accomplish the tasks at hand with proficient skills in teamwork and leadership, while remembering ethical reasoning behind
all decisions. The ability for organizational and time management skills is essential in bringing together all aspects of managing self and others. Academic integrity is central to
mastery in this outcome.
In addition, Professional and Ethical Behaviour includes, but is not limited to, the following outcomes: Teamwork, Ethical Reasoning, Leadership, and Personal Organization

II. The University
II. The University

History
The University of Guelph was established in 1964 when its founding colleges - the Ontario
Agricultural College, the Ontario Veterinary College and Macdonald Institute - joined
with a new college of arts and science. Today, the University of Guelph comprises seven
colleges - College of Arts, College of Biological Science, College of Management and
Economics, College of Physical and Engineering Science, College of Social and Applied
Human Sciences, the Ontario Agricultural College, and the Ontario Veterinary College.
In addition, the University has three regional campuses at Alfred, Kemptville and
Ridgetown.
The University of Guelph is renowned in Canada and around the world as a
research-intensive and learner-centred institution and for its commitment to open learning,
internationalism and collaboration.
Students may pursue more than 80 undergraduate and 45 graduate degree programs
spanning the natural and physical sciences, social sciences and humanities. Faculty at the
University of Guelph have won more prestigious 3M Fellow teaching awards than faculty
at any comparably-sized university in Canada. Our students are no less accomplished:
99.3 percent of first-year students enter with an average of at least 75 percent.
A total of 18,667 students attend Guelph, consisting of 16,617 full- and part-time
undergraduates and 2,050 full- and part-time graduate students. The University of Guelph
is a highly residential community, with approximately 5,260 students living in campus
residences. In addition, the University of Guelph-Humber serves 1,955 full- and part-time
undergraduates.
With close to $145 million in annual research funding, the University of Guelph is one
of the country's top research institutions. Among its researchers, Guelph numbers 20
Fellows of the Royal Society of Canada. A 12-hectare research park adjacent to the campus
is home to a growing number of research-intensive industries.
An enhanced partnership reached in 1997 between the University of Guelph and the
Ontario Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs (OMAFRA) relocated OMAFRA
employees to an 86,000-square-foot research complex adjacent to campus, and made the
University responsible for Ontario's agricultural colleges at Alfred, Kemptville and
Ridgetown, the Horticultural Research Institute of Ontario and OMAFRA's Laboratory
Services. With its enhanced partnership, its research park and the Guelph Food Technology
Centre -- an independent laboratory on campus for food processing research and product
development -- the University of Guelph is the hub of a rapidly growing cluster of agri-food
education, research and laboratory services in Canada.
Guelph's commitment to internationalism is reflected in several ways. Guelph attracts
about 700 international students from 100 countries and maintains 61 study abroad
programs (56 exchange and five semester abroad) with 27 countries. About 500 University
of Guelph students study abroad each year. The University of Guelph has 60 public- and
private-sector partners in 30 countries, and participates in Canadian International
Development Agency projects worth a total of $16.5 million around the world. The
University offers more than 200 distance degree credit courses to more than 16,000 course
enrolments. Our graduates are Guelph's ambassadors to the world with more than 90,000
alumni in 145 countries.
The University offers a wide range of excellent programs, both in theoretical and applied,
disciplinary and interdisciplinary, undergraduate and graduate, in the arts, humanities,
social sciences, natural sciences, as well as professional fields. Among these, it recognizes
agriculture and veterinary medicine as areas of special responsibility.
The University attracts students, faculty, and staff of the highest quality. It is animated
by a spirit of free and open enquiry, collaboration, and mutual respect. It asserts the
fundamental equality of all human beings and is committed to creating for all members
of its community, an environment that is hospitable, safe, supportive, equitable, pleasurable,
and above all, intellectually challenging.
The University of Guelph is determined to put the learner at the centre of all it does,
recognizing that research and teaching are intimately linked and that learning is a life-long
commitment. The University eagerly promotes collaboration among undergraduates,
graduate students, faculty, staff, and alumni, as well as with our local and international
community, other educational institutions, government and business.
The University of Guelph is committed to the highest standards of pedagogy, to the
education and well-being of the whole person, to meeting the needs of all learners in a
purposefully diverse community, to the pursuit of its articulated learning objectives, to
rigorous self-assessment, critical inquiry, and active learning. The University of Guelph
educates students for life and work in a rapidly changing world.
The University of Guelph invites public scrutiny of the fulfillment of its mission, especially
by the people of Ontario, to whom it is accountable.
University Governance
In accordance with the University of Guelph Act (1964), the University operates under a
bicameral system of governance comprising the Senate and the Board of Governors. The
Senate is responsible for the academic policy of the University which includes
responsibility for determining the courses of study, standards of admission and
qualifications for graduation. The Board of Governors is responsible for all other aspects
of the governance of the University not assigned to the Senate. This includes oversight
of the management and control of the University and its property, revenues, expenditures,
business and related affairs. The Board of Governors is responsible for the operation of
the Board of Trustees of the University of Guelph Heritage Fund.
The University Secretariat has responsibility for supporting the efficient and timely
operation of the Board of Governors, Board of Trustees, and the Senate plus their several
committees, subcommittees, task forces and working groups which comprise the bicameral
governance system of the University of Guelph.
The University Secretary also serves the role of University coordinator for the purposes
of complying with Ontario's Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. In
this role, the University Secretary serves the entire University community and, where
appropriate, groups outside the University with the provision of timely, accurate and
objective information, advice and the interpretation and application of the University's
policies and procedures with regard to protection of personal privacy and access to
information.

IV. Admission Information

Admission Requirements to University Programs in
2015a
Semester One Admission
Entry Point
Admission to Semester One of a degree program and General Studies is available in the
Fall semester only. A Semester One degree applicant is defined as one who will receive
fewer than 2.00 transfer credits upon admission.
1. Applicants from Ontario Secondary Schools

Students seeking admission to a degree program must present the Ontario Secondary
School Diploma (OSSD), or equivalent, and a minimum of six 4U/M courses including
ENG4U. All specific subject requirements must be 4U/M. Specific subject requirements
for admission to the various degree programs are outlined in this section. Students are
also advised to consult Section X of the Calendar (Undergraduate Degree Programs) to
note those subjects which are recommended for specific programs.
In some cases, applicants with high academic standing may be admitted if they are deficient
in one of the specific subject requirements. The exceptions to this are Cooperative
Education; Bachelor of Arts, Studio Arts and Criminal Justice and Public Policy; Bachelor
of Science, Bio-medical Science and Human Kinetics; Bachelor of Applied Science,
Applied Human Nutrition; and the Bachelor of Commerce Program for which applicants
must have completed all of the specific subject requirements.
Offers of Admission will be released starting in February. All offers of admission which
are based on interim grades will be conditional upon completion of the OSSD with six
4U/M courses (or equivalent) including specific subject requirements. The minimum final
admission average which the applicant will have to achieve will be stipulated in the
condition. Conditions are specified in the offer letter. Grades in specific subject
requirements are included in the calculation of the admission average. The University
reserves the right to revoke the offer of admission should a student fail to meet any
condition in the offer.
Applicants also have the opportunity to complete and submit the Student Profile Form
h t t p s : / / a d m i s s i o n . u o g u e l p h . c a /
template.aspx?SiteID=a95a2e28-ec80-425c-a722-0d16b03f774cspf which is considered
after the third round of high school offers in May. Leadership and citizenship qualities as
well as extenuating circumstances of a medical or compassionate nature are considered
for applicants whose admission average falls within a discretionary range below the
determined program admission average.
Students will not be required to respond to the offer until the common response date for
all Ontario universities. Those wishing to respond earlier may do so.
Applicants who have not received an offer of admission by the end of May may become
eligible for admission consideration to all non-limited enrolment programs by submitting
their final grades. Admission consideration will be given on the basis of final grades only
when places are still available in the program and/or specialization to which the student
has applied at the time that the final grades are received. Applicants may be required to
possess an admission average higher than those used prior to the end of May.
It is the applicant's responsibility to submit final, summer school or correspondence course
grades to Admission Services, Level 3, University Centre, University of Guelph, Guelph,
Ontario, N1G 2W1, as soon as they become available. The following methods for
submission of final grades will be acceptable:
a. report card issued by the secondary school
b. certified copy of the report card
c. a transcript of marks issued by the secondary school and forwarded directly to the
University.
It is suggested that students follow method c) above in order to facilitate the processing
of their application. Any offers based on faxed information are conditional upon receipt
of the official document.
IV. Admission Information

Students applying for admission on the basis of the IB Diploma should possess a minimum
score of 28. Reported bonus points may be taken into consideration. Applicants are advised
that some programs will require a higher score for admission consideration. Students
currently in their final year of the IB program are encouraged to present "predicted" scores
on the seven point scale, which will be taken into consideration to extend conditional
offers of admission. The predicted scores can include grades from the Extended Essay
and the Theory of Knowledge. Students must include, among their higher and standard
levels, the specific subject requirements for the program to which they are applying.
Unspecified transfer credits, to a maximum of 2.00 credits, will be granted for grades of
5 or better on higher level courses where the applicant has been awarded the IB Diploma
or Certificate. Students may request specific credit on an individual basis. Specific transfer
credits, where applicable, to a maximum of 2.00 credits, will be granted for grades of 5
or better on higher level courses where the applicant has been awarded the IB Diploma
or Certificate. Students may request a change to unspecified credit on an individual basis
within the first 30 days of the semester in which they commence their studies. Credit will
be assigned upon receipt of official final results.
Ontario high school students registered in an IB program will automatically have their IB
courses converted into Ontario U and M level equivalents. IB scores will be converted
into grades on a percentage scale out of 100 by the applicant's high school. Admissions
and scholarships will be determined using the conversions submitted to the Ontario
Universities Application Centre by the applicant's high school. Unspecified transfer credits,
to a maximum of 2.0 credits, will be granted for grades of 5 or better on higher level
courses where the applicant has been awarded the ID Diploma or Certificate. Students

Ontario secondary school system must have achieved, as a minimum requirement, academic
standing equivalent to that required of Ontario students and must satisfy the subject
requirements for the program desired. Students should refer to the information for Ontario
applicants regarding specific subject deficiencies. The University will take into
consideration the availability of specific course requirements in other countries or provinces
to ensure that the applicant is not disadvantaged if particular senior secondary courses are
not offered. Please refer to the information following this section regarding specific subject
requirements and equivalents.
Conditional offers of admission may be released on the basis of interim and/or first term
grades. Some decisions may be deferred until final grades are submitted. Applicants are

7
General Studies
The objective of General Studies is to provide students who do not meet the normal
University admission criteria the opportunity to take university courses before registering
in a specific degree program or to take university courses for continued learning with no
immediate intention of registering in a degree program. All applicants must be Canadian
citizens or Permanent Residents. Applicants will normally:
a. not have previously registered at a university
b. have completed the O.S.S.D. or equivalent and
c. have been out of secondary school for 3 years.
Applicants must submit a General Studies Profile Form in which they provide their intended
study objectives, including courses and program. The University, via the General Studies
Admission Committee, reserves the right to grant or deny admission to a candidate based
on the appropriateness of the applicant's submissions.
Applicants to the General Studies program who wish to transfer to a degree program in
the future should contact Admission Services, Office of Registrarial Services for specific
internal transfer admission requirements. These requirements may vary with the degree
program for which transfer is sought.
Application to General Studies in the first instance is for part-time study only and available
for Fall entry point only. As such, students may take a maximum of 1.50 credits in the
first semester. In special circumstances, permission to study full-time may be granted by
the Program Counsellor. Normally, successful completion (minimum 60% cumulative
average) of 1.50 credits is required before full-time study in General Studies can be
undertaken.
Advanced Standing Admission

1. Advanced Standing Applicants from a recognized University or
College in Canada
Applicants for admission to the University of Guelph transferring from an accredited
university or college are normally subject to the following admission policy.
a. Applicants must have completed the Ontario Secondary School Diploma including
six 4U/M courses, or equivalent, for admission to the University of Guelph prior to
the commencement of the academic session for which application is made.
b. Applicants must be eligible for readmission and registration on a full-time basis at
the last university or college attended in the academic session for which application
is made. Applicants whose academic records at another university have rendered them
ineligible to continue study at that institution will be considered for admission only
when the stipulated period of rustication has expired.
c. Students registered in a preliminary year, bridging year or first year at a recognized
university or junior college to which students are admitted without having completed
the Ontario Secondary School Diploma or the equivalent are eligible to apply for
admission to first year at this University provided that their first or preliminary year
program includes subjects equivalent to those 4U or 4M courses required for admission
to each program. Credit towards graduation from the University of Guelph is not
normally granted for work taken in the first year of the university program which
does not require completion of the Ontario Secondary School Diploma or equivalent
for admission.
d. Admission of students transferring from another university or college is not automatic.
All such applicants will be assessed in competition with other new applicants, taking
into consideration the academic requirements and enrolment limitations which pertain
at the time the application is complete. In addition, an offer of admission will not
imply in any way that space will be available in the course(s) in which the applicant
wishes to register.
e. The University of Guelph subscribes to the following General Policy on the Transfer
of Course Credits, as adopted by the Council of Ontario Universities: Acceptance of
transfer credits among Ontario Universities shall be based on the recognition that,
while learning experiences may differ in a variety of ways, their substance may be
essentially equivalent in terms of their content and rigour. Upon admission, and insofar
as possible, acceptance of transfer credit should allow for the maximum recognition
of previous learning experience in passed university-level courses.
Subject to the degree and specialization to which the applicant is admitted, and to
grade and program requirements, any course offered for credit by another Ontario
university shall be accepted for credit when there is an essential equivalency in course
content.
f. In addition, the University of Guelph supports the intent of the Pan-Canadian Protocol
on the Transferability of University Credits to develop consistent, fair and efficient
systems to facilitate student mobility and program completion. In consideration of
the principles of the Protocol, the University of Guelph undertakes to ensure that all
course work completed by transfer students in the first two years of university study
in Canada (including the final year leading to a diploma of college studies (DCS) in
Quebec and the transfer courses offered by community colleges in British Columbia
and Alberta) are recognized and, subject to degree, grade and program requirements
are credited for the purpose of granting a degree provided that:
i. the applicant is deemed admissible and has been offered admission
8
ii. a passing grade has been achieved in each course to be transferred and the grade
is at the level that normally would be required of students at the University of
Guelph and
iii. the credits earned are related to the program of study in which the transfer student
will register, or the credits can be counted as electives in the program of study.
g. Candidates from non-Ontario universities or colleges applying for advanced standing
may submit, with the application, detailed course descriptions, or a calendar of the
institution at which they studied. The provision of such information will greatly
facilitate the evaluation of previous work and the consideration of possible transfer
of credits. The amount of transfer credit granted is at the discretion of the Registrar
and the Dean of the College concerned.
Note: Where necessary, the grades from other universities or colleges whose marking
schemes differ from those of this University shall be translated into the equivalent
grades of the University of Guelph and admissibility assessed in those terms.
Applicants for transfer, for whom English is a second language, must submit with
their application, evidence acceptable to this University of Proficiency in English
(see English Proficiency in this section of the calendar).
h. Applicants who have been required to withdraw from the University of Guelph or
another post-secondary institution and who pass university credit courses during the
period of rustication, may be eligible for 1.00 credit provided the criteria for admission
or readmission and transfer of credit are met. If university credit courses are
successfully completed after the rustication period, transfer credit may be granted for
all courses provided the criteria for admission or readmission and transfer of credit
are met. Applicants who have been debarred for academic misconduct will not receive
credit for courses taken during the period of debarment.
i. Applicants should contact Admission Services regarding specific transfer credit.
The application of these transfer credits will vary depending on the degree and
specialization. The applicant must satisfy degree graduation requirements and residency
requirements as outlined in Section VIII--Undergraduate Degree Regulations and
Procedures.
Specific graduation requirements will be determined in consultation with the program
counsellor and departmental advisor.
Applicants will typically be informed of the amount of advanced standing credit granted
when they receive the offer of admission. Acceptance by the student of the offer of
admission shall imply the student's agreement to the advanced standing credit granted.
2. Applicants from Universities Outside of Canada

The amount of credit granted will be dependent upon the institution and upon the
educational system. Admission Services at the University of Guelph does not grant
advanced standing for work experience or for involvement in programs such as the World
Youth Organization. Please refer to Section VII - Undergraduate Degree Regulations and
Procedures for information on Prior Learning Assessment.
3. Advanced Standing Applications from Recognized Community

Colleges or Other Post-Secondary Institutions
The University of Guelph will also consider the granting of advanced standing for studies
completed in certain post-secondary institutions. Included in this category are:
a. Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology, and Institutes of

Technology and Advanced Learning
Applicants from appropriate programs may be considered for admission with advanced
standing in accordance with the following policy:
i. Transfer credits are determined by the Admissions Committee of the program to
which the student is admitted and where applicable, in accordance with any existing
articulation agreement. Please refer to the information at the beginning of Section IV
on Articulation Agreements.
ii. Transfer credits will be based on courses completed normally with a grade of 'B' or
better, where those courses are deemed appropriate to the program to which the student
is admitted at this University. A minimum overall average of B is normally required
in diploma programs for consideration of any transfer credit.
iii. Up to10.00 credits may be granted to students transferring from a three-year diploma
program, and up to 5.00 credits may be granted to students transferring from a two-year
diploma program. The granting of additional transfer credits will be considered in
the case of graduates from a one-year post-diploma program.
iv. Should a student transfer to a different program after admission to the University of
Guelph, credits assigned upon admission may be re-assessed where deemed appropriate
by the Admission Committee of the program.
b. Colleges of Agricultural Technology

Graduates of the two-year Associate Diploma programs or other two-year programs offered
by the Colleges of Agricultural Technology may receive a maximum of 3.00 transfer
credits upon admission to a degree program. Graduates admitted to the Bachelor of Science
in Agriculture program, Bachelor of Bio-Resource Management program, and Bachelor
of Commerce, Food and Agricultural Business program may be eligible for additional
transfer credit. A minimum overall average of 70% is required in the Associate Diploma
Program(s) for consideration of any transfer credit.
IV. Admission Information, Advanced Standing Entry Points
4. CEGEPS - Province of Quebec

a. Applicants who present the Diplme des Etudes Collegiales may be eligible for
advanced standing, to a maximum of 5.00 credits.
b. For more specific information candidates may contact Admission Services, Office of
Registrarial Services, University of Guelph.
Advanced Standing Entry Points

All undergraduate programs consider students applying from another post-secondary
institution as advanced standing applicants to the Fall entry point. Winter and Summer
entry to select programs is available. Applicants are considered as 'Advanced Standing'
if they will receive 2.00 or more transfer credits upon admission. Applicants to the
University are requested, where possible, to indicate on the Ontario Universities'
Application Centre form their subject of primary interest. In many cases the program code
to be inserted on the application form will include the subject of primary interest. It should
be noted that an offer of admission applies to both the degree program and to the major
area of study specified in the offer.
Because enrolment in certain courses is limited by the availability of resources, the
University cannot guarantee that all students wishing to take a particular specialization
will be accommodated. Applicants wishing to enrol in courses offered in the distance
only mode for personal interest or for professional development should contact the
Centre for Open Learning and Educational Support for further information and to
obtain the appropriate application form.
Application Procedures
Current Diploma application procedures are outlined in the Diploma Program Calendar.
Doctor of Veterinary Medicine procedures are outlined in the previous section "Admission
Requirements". All procedures are applicable to both full and part-time applicants.
Applicants for part-time study are considered on the same basis as full-time applicants,
and therefore must meet the published admission requirements for the program desired.
Applicants from Ontario Currently Enrolled in Secondary School

See information on "Admission Requirements" for specific course requirements for the
various programs. The OUAC 101 application should be used by all applicants who are
currently enrolled in an Ontario Secondary School as a day school student. Normally
applicants will receive an offer of admission to only one program or specialization at the
University of Guelph. Applicants who apply to more than one program at the University
of Guelph will have their highest choice program considered first. Only in the event that
a student is ineligible for admission to the highest choice program will consideration be
given to the lower choices. Students who apply directly to a Co-op program and who are
not admitted will be considered for the regular degree program. Applicants to the University
are requested, where possible, to indicate on the application form their subject of primary
interest. In many cases, the program code to be inserted on the form will include the
subject of primary interest. It should be noted that an offer of admission applies to both
the degree program and to the major area of study specified in the offer. Because enrolment
in certain courses is limited by the availability of resources, the University cannot guarantee
that all students wishing to take a particular specialization will be accommodated.
Applicants from Ontario Not Currently Enrolled in Secondary

School
Applicants who are not currently enrolled in an Ontario secondary school as a day school
student should use the OUAC 105 application form. This includes the following types of
applicants: adult, night school, correspondence, those who previously obtained the Ontario
Secondary School Diploma.
Applicants who apply to more than one program at the University of Guelph will have
their highest choice program considered first. In the event that a student is ineligible for
admission to the highest choice program, consideration be given to the lower choices
during the final round of admission offers. Students who apply directly to a Co-op program
and who are not admitted will be considered for the regular degree program.
Applicants also have the opportunity to complete and submit the Student Profile Form as
indicated in the previous section.
All Other External Students

All other students should complete an OUAC 105 application form. These applicants
would include those applying from:
a. secondary school outside Ontario
b. CEGEP
c. recognized college or university
d. College of Applied Arts and Technology, and Institutes of Technology and Advanced
Learning
In addition, students applying under the Mature Student Regulation, to General Studies,
or to Non Degree should complete the 105 form. The 105 form is available on-line at

b. In-course University of Guelph students may apply to graduate with two degrees at
the same convocation. A maximum of 10.00 credits may be transferred from the
declared program to the undeclared program.
In a) and b), the course content of the second degree program must be substantially different
from that of the first. A second degree is judged to be substantially different if:
The specializations are in different subject areas as listed in Section XII--Course
Descriptions; or
The schedule of studies requirements are substantially different (no more than 25%
overlap).
This rule is also applicable to different subject areas within the same degree program,
allowing, for example, a second B.A. or B.Sc. degree to be awarded as long as the criteria
are met.

Open Learning
The Open Learning program is an open admission distance-only mode of study program
which provides access to university courses for individuals who wish to study
independently and who are not interested in pursuing a degree at the present time. This
program is designed to extend the academic resources of the University to individuals
who wish to take courses for personal enrichment, professional updating or eventual
application to a degree program.
Honours Equivalent
Students from the University of Guelph or another university may upgrade a degree from
the general program to the honours program to obtain an Honours Equivalent recognition.
Students may also upgrade a degree from the honours program by the completion of an
additional specialization to qualify for the Honours Equivalent recognition. All interested
students must apply for admission to the Honours Equivalent program per the application
procedures outlined in this section (IV - Application Procedures). All previous University
of Guelph credits may be utilized toward the equivalent degree from the honours program.
14
To be granted an Honours Equivalent, students must satisfy the University of Guelph
residence requirements. In addition, students must satisfy the conditions for
graduation for the specified honours program using the Calendar that is in effect
for the semester to which they have been admitted.
The students who are granted the Honours Equivalent designation do not receive a second
degree parchment and do not participate in a convocation program, but have the designation
shown on their transcript. Graduation standing is not assigned for the Honours Equivalent
designation.
Prior Learning Assessment

At the University of Guelph, Prior Learning Assessment is an acceptable process for
assigning credit at the undergraduate level for learning stemming from experience acquired
independently of courses taken at university. PLA provides a mechanism whereby credit
is given for equivalence in a university course to those students who have mastered the
content of the course concerned without having taken a formal course in the subject area.
Such mastery may have been acquired, for example, through work experience, independent
study or from non-degree courses. In the absence of a certificate or other formal
acknowledgement of competence by an appropriately accredited institution, the student
can challenge the appropriate specific course(s) offered by the University to a maximum
of 5.00 credits in a degree program or 30% of the curriculum for Open Learning
Certificates. This is a post admission process only.
Each academic department is responsible for determining which of its courses may be
subject to PLA challenge. The challenge process could include one or more assessment
methods, including standardized tests, written and/or oral examinations, performance
evaluations, interviews, and portfolio assessments. These assessments require that the
individual demonstrate, to a qualified faculty member, that pre-determined knowledge
and skills have been acquired.
Students should contact Enrolment Services (ups@registrar.uoguelph.ca) for application
forms and further information.
Readmission
Previously registered University of Guelph students must apply to Admission Services
for readmission under any of the conditions outlined below. In some cases, applicants
may reapply for the Fall entry point only. Applicants should contact Admission Services
for details.
1. They were required to withdraw from their program for a period of two or more
semesters.
2. They were suspended from the University for academic misconduct.
3. They have graduated from this University and wish to register for additional courses.
4. They registered in a program at another post-secondary institution and wish to return
to the University of Guelph.
5. They have not registered at the University of Guelph for six or more consecutive
semesters.
6. They are attending the University of Guelph on a letter of permission and wish to
continue beyond the term of the letter of permission agreement.
Readmission to a program at the University of Guelph is not automatic. Students who are
required to withdraw must apply for readmission to the University after completing the
minimum two semesters of rustication. Students should consult sub-sections regarding
appropriate admission requirements and deadline dates in this Section (IV--Admission
Information). Applications for readmission should include a statement which outlines the
basis for readmission. Criteria used for readmission may differ by academic program.
Students considering readmission should consult with the appropriate admission counsellor
regarding procedures and criteria for readmission to that program.
Students apply for readmission online via the Internal Transfer/Readmission application.
An application fee is payable at the time the application is submitted. Refer to http://
admission.uoguelph.ca for further information.
On December 19, 1995, the University Senate approved the following policy for the
granting of credit while on rustication:
1. Students who have been required to withdraw, and who take university credit courses
during their rustication period, will be eligible for up to 1.00 credit provided they
meet the criteria for readmission and the criteria for the transfer of credit. Students
registered for courses through the Open Learning program are not permitted to attend
courses on campus.
2. Students who take university courses after the two-semester rustication period may
normally transfer all these credits provided the student meets the criteria for
readmission and the criteria for the transfer of credit.
3. Students who have been suspended for academic misconduct will not receive any
credit for courses taken during the suspension period.
Note: This policy applies to any university credit course taken during the rustication
period.
IV. Admission Information, Prior Learning Assessment
Right of Selection
It should be carefully noted that possession of the minimum requirements does not in
itself guarantee admission to any of the programs or specializations offered at the
University of Guelph. For all programs for which the number of qualified applicants
exceeds the capacity, the University reserves the right to select the quota from among the
qualified applicants.
For students applying to enter the University for the first time, the decision of the
Admission Committee is final and there shall be no appeal to that decision.
An applicant for readmission may, under specific circumstances, appeal the decision of
the Admission Committee to deny readmission. Refer to Readmission in Section
IV--Admission Information.
Applicants are reminded that the University is a dynamic institution and that information
pertaining to admission may change. It is the responsibility of the applicant to ascertain
admission requirements at the time of application.

To be eligible to apply for September 2016 entry to the D.V.M. Program students must
have completed a minimum of four full-time semesters, including all D.V.M. admission
course requirements, at a recognized university before December 31, 2015.
The earliest time at which applicants may apply for 2016 admission to the D.V.M. Program
is during third year of their first undergraduate degree program. Please refer to 2016
D.V.M. application and required document deadline dates at: http://www.ovc.uoguelph.ca/
future/dvm/
*Students entering the D.V.M. Program should be able to operate across discipline
boundaries recognizing the relevance of the humanities and the social sciences to their
career choice. In selecting these courses from among those acceptable, the prospective
veterinary student should consider topics such as ethics, logic, critical thinking,
determinants of human behaviour and human social interaction.
All courses must be at university level. Applicants should consult the list of acceptable
University of Guelph courses and subject areas online at http://www.ovc.uoguelph.ca/
future/dvm/. Courses need not be completed in a specialized college or faculty or in a
designated Pre-Veterinary program. Students wishing to undertake their preparatory work
at the University of Guelph should seek admission to the Bachelor of Science or the
Bachelor of Science in Agriculture programs. Students who wish to undertake their
preparatory work at another university should select an institution that offers the specific
course requirements listed above as part of a degree program and that has rigorous entrance
requirements and a reputation for academic quality.
16
Applications will also be considered from persons who have successfully completed a
science graduate program and from persons currently enrolled in a science graduate
program. For those persons currently enrolled, all the requirements of the program must
be successfully completed by August 1st of the year of entry to the D.V.M. Program.
Persons who qualify must indicate their desire to be considered in the graduate student
cohort. Their application will then be removed from the undergraduate applicant pool and
considered separately. Selection for interviews will be made on the basis of academic
achievement including grades in acceptable prerequisite subjects (undergraduate and
graduate courses), evaluation of the Background Information Form, two letters of reference
from persons assessing the applicant's skills and knowledge of veterinary medicine and
two letters of reference for persons familiar with the applicant's performance as a graduate
student. Final selection will be based on this information and an interview. Normally a
maximum of five students will be selected from this cohort each year.
Because of limitations in class size, all candidates should have an alternative career
objective and course selection should be compatible with this objective.
Residence Requirements
Canadian citizens or individuals who have Permanent Resident Status of at least one year's
duration are eligible to apply as domestic students if they also satisfy the Ontario residency
requirement. 'Resident' in this context is interpreted to mean someone who has resided in
Ontario for twelve months, exclusive of time spent in post-secondary institutions.
Selection Criteria
Since the number of applicants who satisfy the specific course requirements exceeds the
number of available spaces in the D.V.M. Program, the Admissions Sub-Committee may
use the following criteria to determine those who will be admitted. The members of the
Sub-Committee endeavour to select those well-qualified applicants who, in their judgement,
will be best able to successfully complete the veterinary medicine curriculum and who
exhibit potential to become competent, responsible veterinarians dedicated to a lifetime
of productive public service and continued learning. Candidates should pay attention to
the selection criteria and attributes required for entry into the D.V.M. Program and use
this information to guide them in preparation for application.
1. Academic Achievement and Aptitude
In view of the need to efficiently and quickly learn large amounts of factual material and
to solve problems, applicants must have demonstrated achievement in the comprehension
of scientific material. This will be evaluated by the scrutiny of transcripts of previous
academic records. Attention will be paid to both the quality and consistency of grades in
the program presented as preparation for admission, particularly for those applicants who
have spent more than the minimal time in preparation. Course selections in an applicant's
last two full-time semesters will be reviewed for academic coherence. For the purpose of
D.V.M. admissions, a full-time semester will include at least 5 half-year courses (2.50
credits] from the acceptable list. It is expected that the level of an applicant's courses will
correspond to the semester level (year) of his or her program. Please refer to information
regarding acceptable courses at:http://www.ovc.uoguelph.ca/Undergrad/potential/
admission.shtm.
2. Animal and Veterinary Experience
As part of the application process, candidates must demonstrate sufficient knowledge of
the profession, its dimensions and the industries it serves to permit the candidate to make
and defend his or her career choice. This requires the candidate to spend adequate time
under the supervision of veterinarians in clinical practice situations (volunteer or paid) in
order to gain hands-on experience with a range of animal species. Practice situations
include, but are not limited to, large, small, mixed, avian and exotic animal clinics; thus
introducing the applicant to food producing, companion, zoo and wildlife animals, or
aquaculture. Other work or volunteer experience with veterinarians can include non-practice
situations such as industry (e.g. veterinary products, pharmaceutical), research and
academia (universities), and government (e.g. public health, regulatory affairs). There is
an expectation that candidates will be able to demonstrate for each animal or veterinary
experience the role of the veterinarian, production and breeding systems, general features
of housing and feeding, productivity measures and norms, marketing systems, animal
behaviour relevant to restraint, feeding and reproduction, and emerging trends and issues
in the industry.
3. Background Information and Referees' Assessments
Successful candidates should have integrity, reliability, maturity and determination. It is
important that professionals have excellent communication and leadership skills, and that
they have a talent for effectively working with others. To assist in identification of
candidates who possess these and other attributes, applicants must complete a Background
Information Form, in which they will describe their academic program, work experience
and extra-curricular activities. In addition, applicants will be asked to write a short essay
about why they wish to study veterinary medicine. Confidential referee reports will be
required from three persons qualified to give unbiased, informed, critical assessments of
the applicant. A minimum of two of the three references that applicants select must be
veterinarians with whom he or she has obtained animal and veterinary experience in the
fulfillment of the selection criteria outlined in Section 2.
IV. Admission Information, Specific Subject Requirements and Recommendations

4. Interviews
Applicants may be invited to an interview. The interviews for undergraduate Canadian
applicants to the Doctor of Veterinary Medicine program follow the Multiple Mini
Interview (MMI) format. Graduate cohort applicants will be interviewed individually in
the traditional format. The MMI consists of a series of short, timed, structured interview
stations that draws multiple samples of a candidates ability to think on their feet,
communicate opinions and ideas, critically appraise information and demonstrate advanced
thought/knowledge of the issues facing the profession. At each station candidates are
presented with a scenario to which they must react and explain their interpretation of the
scenario to assessors who then mark the candidate based on a scoring rubric. Each of the
scenarios has been constructed to assess Ethical Behaviour, Empathy, Judgement, Critical
and Creative Thinking, or Personal Management Skills. All stations will assess
Communications skills. The non-academic skills assessed by the MMI reflect the
educational goals and objectives of OVC as well as the skills identified by the veterinary
profession in Ontario as being necessary for a successful career. All interviews are held
at the University of Guelph (no exceptions can be made).
Additional Attributes Required for Entry into the D.V.M. Program

Applicants should be aware that a number of attributes are required for admission to the
Program. In addition to those already identified above under Selection Criteria (e.g.
academic achievement, academic aptitude, integrity) a number of others, some of which
relate to certain University of Guelph Learning Objectives, have been identified. These
are presented here to assist prospective candidates in preparing themselves for admission.
1. Literacy and Numeracy
Literacy and numeracy are the bases on which all knowledge is founded. The ability to
read, write, and calculate are fundamental intellectual tools. Students entering the D.V.M.
Program will be able to demonstrate literacy skills at least to the basic level as described
under Literacy in the University of Guelph Learning Objectives. They will be able to
assimilate and comprehend written language at a basic level, to summarize information
in a coherent manner, and use appropriate language in context. Successful applicants must
be able to devise a topic or concept for discussion, frame its bounds and communicate its
content.
Students entering the D.V.M. Program will understand the value and principles of
describing situations in numeric terms. They will be able to assimilate and comprehend
numeric data and use appropriate tools to manage such information. They must be able
to use skills of numeracy to check validity of information, to use and correctly interpret
appropriate statistics to describe the distribution of observations in individuals and
populations, and be able to perform basic tests of hypotheses (t-test, chi-square and simple
regression) and interpret these correctly.
2. Communication Skills
Communication is the process of interacting with others respectfully and involves an
exchange of information, feelings and values. It includes intrapersonal communication
(self-understanding, self-evaluation, and reasoning) and interpersonal communication
(interaction with others, relationship and self-disclosure). Through interpersonal
communication, relationships are started, maintained, or destroyed. Good communication
involves an understanding of self-awareness, of self-esteem, of feelings and emotions,
the development of listening skills and the willingness to disclose oneself truthfully and
freely. Good communication also requires an understanding of principles of language and
verbal interaction, principles of non-verbal communication, and of interpersonal
communication and relationships (relationship development and deterioration, improvement
of interpersonal communication, conflict management, interviewing skills etc.)
Students entering the D.V.M. Program will be able to: listen respectfully and comprehend
appreciatively; practice the elements of good interpersonal communication successfully;
demonstrate the ability to work cooperatively; and communicate effectively by oral,
written, and electronic means at the appropriate literacy level. Successful applicants will
be able to recognize the non-verbal aspects of communication by considering feelings,
emotions, and values as elements of communication.
3. Judgement
Students entering the D.V.M. Program will be able to use knowledge, observational and
analytical skills, with due consideration of value systems, to evaluate and implement
decisions. They will be able to identify and articulate their personal value system; identify
ethics and standards of conduct; and identify the values and assumptions that may be
operative in various contexts. They must be able to identify, critically evaluate and accept
the implications and consequences of decisions, to re-evaluate decisions based on new
information, and deal effectively with uncertainty. They will be able to accept that
self-assessment of ethics and standards of conduct is a professional responsibility, and
accept that others may have different values and assumptions and respect those differences.
4. On-Going Curiosity (self-initiated learning)
Students entering the D.V.M. Program must be able to use self-initiated learning to maintain
and enhance depth and breadth of understanding. They must recognize limitations of their
knowledge, skills and attitudes, identify sources of ongoing learning opportunities, and
demonstrate a commitment to on-going learning and self-evaluation.
IV. Admission Information, Submission of Documents

5. Forms of Inquiry
Students entering the D.V.M. Program will be able to identify and articulate the strengths
and weaknesses, similarities and differences of various forms of inquiry (i.e. those used
by the physical scientist, the biological scientist, the social scientist and the scholar of the
humanities). They will be able to describe and apply the scientific method, and articulate
and evaluate personal problem-solving processes.

Semesters Abroad
Students registered in a Semester Abroad are recognized as University of Guelph students
and thus fall under the rules and regulations of the University of Guelph. It should be
noted however, that many study abroad semesters involve the employment of sessional
faculty from abroad. While every attempt is made to fully inform these faculty of the
Senate regulations concerning academic procedures and evaluation of student work, there
may be times when appeals by students are not handled in a fashion that would be
appropriate under the University of Guelph guidelines. It is therefore recommended that
any student who wishes to submit an appeal to Academic Review or request a grade
reassessment should first contact the semester abroad coordinator for advice.
It will be the responsibility of the coordinator to refer the matter through the appropriate
channels. In some cases this might be to a department chair, in others, through a dean. At
all times the University of Guelph's rules and procedures will be adhered to. Given the
distance between the University of Guelph and the host institution, the time deadlines in
place for processing requests for academic review or grade reassessments will not be
enforced. Students studying on an exchange should normally expect to abide by the rules
and regulations of the host institution.
The University offers the following semester abroad programs, however, not all semester
abroad programs are offered every year. Contact the Centre for International Programs,
University Centre, Level 3, for information on current offerings.

for the fall semester. Students, who will have completed 4 semesters with a 70% average,
in all undergraduate university programs are encouraged to apply (an association with the
Agricultural University in Krakow provides OAC students with a unique opportunity to
learn about Polish agriculture). Courses are taught by Polish faculty in English and are
accredited at either the 3000 or 4000 level. Survival Polish lessons will be provided. In
addition to the experience of living in a Krakow university residence and learning formally
and informally about Polish art, culture, history, political systems, etc., there are a number
of trips to areas and place of interest in Poland. The semester is co-ordinated by a Guelph
faculty member who may also teach a course in Krakow. More detailed information about

VII. Academic Advising
VII. Academic Advising

A university education is a complex and multi-faceted experience, which is best undertaken
in a supportive and encouraging environment. As part of its dedication to student success,
the University of Guelph is committed to providing high-quality academic advising, in
order to assist students in the development and pursuit of academic objectives consistent
with their life goals and the available opportunities at the University. The responsibility
for developing educational plans and setting goals rests with the student. Academic
advising contributes to this process by identifying alternatives, exploring likely outcomes,
and referring students to appropriate resources.
Academic advising at Guelph is delivered by a team which includes faculty advisors,
program counsellors, the Undergraduate Academic Information Centre (UAIC), the
Associate Vice-President (Academic) and others. Coordinating all activity is the
University's Council on Undergraduate Academic Advising (CUAA), which has
responsibility for overall advising systems direction and policy. The UAIC provides
general walk-in assistance to students and, as appropriate, directs students to specialized
advising resources. Each student has direct access to a Program Counsellor, who assists
with degree program requirements and expectations. Students who are registered in a
degree program that requires/allows for the declaration of a specialization (major, minor,
area of concentration) also have direct access to Faculty Advisors. Faculty Advisors are
assigned to specializations and focus on subject-related issues and advice.
These components of the academic advising system work together to achieve goals and
objectives that include:
helping students develop an educational plan and choose an appropriate course of
studies to meet their academic and life objectives
ensuring that students are aware of opportunities and resources that can assist them
in achieving their educational goals
assisting students in interpreting university policies and procedures, and applying
general rules to their specific cases
facilitating resolution of academic problems, conflicts and concerns, as appropriate
referring students as necessary to other resource units
collecting and disseminating information on student needs, wants, perceptions, and
trends in order to enhance institutional effectiveness and adaptability
Within the system, specific roles and responsibilities are distributed as indicated below:
Council on Undergraduate Academic Advising

The role of the Council on Undergraduate Academic Advising (CUAA) is to develop,

university. The CUAA reports to, and is chaired by the Associate Vice-President
(Academic). Membership includes broad representation from stakeholders across the
university community including, but not limited to: program counsellors, faculty advisors,
Office of Registrarial Services, Coordinator of Undergraduate Curriculum, deans, chairs,
Student Affairs, Open Learning and Educational Support/ SCOL, undergraduate students,
Centre for International Programs, and the Coordinator of the Undergraduate Academic
Information Centre. The Council normally meets once per semester.

VII. Academic Advising, Undergraduate Academic Information Centre
Undergraduate Academic Information Centre

The role of the Undergraduate Academic Information Centre (UAIC) (U.C. Level 3,
North extension 56613, uaic@uoguelph.ca) is to provide general academic advising
information to undergraduate students. This includes appropriate referral to the program
counsellor, or faculty advisor, as well as other support services on campus.
For some students, the Centre may function as a first point of contact for information
about academic issues. Peer helpers in the unit operate on an assessment and referral
system - first helping the student to identify the problem or issue, and then, as necessary,
referring her/ him to the appropriate resource (e.g. program counselling office, faculty /
specialization advisor, Career Services, Financial Services, etc.).
At the Centre, students will find general information on topics including but not limited
to transfer requirements and procedures; Continuation of Study requirements; admission
and graduation requirements; information about appeal process and procedures; help with
interpreting the calendar; or help with different forms. Students who require more detailed
information about their particular degree program requirements, or who have more specific
questions may be directed to the program counselling office or to the faculty advisor, as
appropriate.
UAIC is a resource for all students, with particular sensitivity to issues facing transfer
(advanced standing) students, non-degree and general studies students, and "undecided"*
students, including first year students or other students contemplating a change in program.
* Although most University of Guelph students declare a major upon entry, "undecided"
in this context refers to students who may be declared in a major but are now not sure
whether the program is the right fit for their educational, career, or life goals.
Undergraduate Students
Responsibilities of the Undergraduate Student
Undergraduate students admitted to the University are responsible for understanding and
meeting certain responsibilities regarding Undergraduate Degree Regulations and
Procedures, degree requirements, course requirements, Schedule of Dates, rules of conduct
and accessing the University of Guelph email account. These responsibilities are described
in Section I of the Undergraduate Calendar.
The responsibilities of undergraduate students regarding academic advising are to seek,
when necessary:
information from the Undergraduate Academic Information Centre
advice and assistance regarding academics from the program counsellor or faculty
advisor
clarification of regulations and procedures from the program counsellor or faculty
advisor
Interpretation of University Academic Regulations

A student who requires assistance in the interpretation of the academic regulations of the
University or the method of their application in reference to the student's particular
circumstances should consult the Undergraduate Academic Information Centre, their
Program Counsellor, or one of the Associate Registrars (Office of Registrarial Services,
Level 3, University Centre).
Non-Academic Counselling
Students are advised to consult the Student Life sub-section in Section XIV--General
Information in this Calendar, for information on the types and locations of non-academic
counselling offered by the University.
Program Approval
Students should present their Academic Evaluation Report plus any updates when seeking
academic advice. Approval is required if:
1. Most students who wish to register for more than 2.75 credits prior to the last day of
an add period require program counsellor approval (some degree programs are exempt
from the 2.75 maximum). On the last day of an add period all students can register
in up to 3.25 credits in a semester without obtaining program counsellor approval.
2. Students who wish to make a change to their specialization within their current degree
program (i.e. major, minor, area of concentration) must complete an Undergraduate
Schedule of Studies Change Request form. Once the form has been completed the
student must obtain the signature of the program counsellor for the degree program
and submit the completed form to Student Client Services (Level 3, University Centre).
VIII. Undergraduate Degree Regulations and Procedures

VIII. Undergraduate Degree Regulations and

Procedures
General Information
The academic regulations outlined in VIII--Undergraduate Degree Regulations and

Procedures are the basic regulations for undergraduate degree programs of the University
as approved by the Senate. Terminology used to describe academic regulations is defined
in the Glossary. In these regulations where the consent of the dean is required, the term
"dean" is interpreted to mean the person responsible for the academic program, for example
dean, associate dean, director, chair of program committee, or the program counsellor in
a particular degree program.

General Information for Academic Consideration and Appeals

The University of Guelph is committed to supporting students in their learning experiences
and responding to their individual needs. To this end a broad network of advising,
counselling, and support services is provided to assist students in meeting their personal
and academic goals. The University is aware that a variety of situations or events beyond
the student's control may affect academic performance. Support is provided to
accommodate academic needs in the face of personal difficulties or unforeseen events.
Procedures for academic appeals are designed to ensure that every effort is made at these
times to provide appropriate accommodation and consideration, thus enabling students
to complete course and program requirements as quickly as possible.
Knowledge of the procedures, early action on the student's part, timely consultation with
the instructor(s) and/or program counsellor, and immediate provision of any required
documentation will facilitate a prompt, co-ordinated institutional response.
Academic Consideration
The University will consider granting consideration for courses if there are sufficient
extenuating medical, psychological or compassionate circumstances. Academic
Consideration may take the form of an extended deadline, a deferred privilege, a late drop
of a course(s) with or without failure, withdrawal from a semester with or without academic
failure, or permission to continue on probationary status. A deferred privilege could take
the form of approval to write a missed final examination or the completion of a course
requirement after the end of the semester. Academic consideration is granted when
acceptable medical, psychological or compassionate circumstances affect any portion of
the semester work. Generally, work commitments will not constitute grounds for academic
consideration. Depending upon the circumstances and whether the semester work is
complete, consideration may be granted by the instructor, the program counsellor or the
Academic Review Sub-Committee of the program in which the student is registered.
Academic Review Sub-Committee Submitted as soon as possible, not

later than the end of the following semester
Students will need to assess the extent of the difficulty they face and the possible
implications on their course work. For instance, an illness which lasts one or two days
resulting in a missed deadline can usually be resolved between the faculty member and
the student, often without documentation. Circumstances which affect the student's ability
to attend classes, write term tests or meet assignment deadlines for an extended period of
time may require more formal documentation and consideration. Students are encouraged
to seek documentation if the situation extends for a significant length of time. The program
counsellor, who is the dean's designate, should be contacted regarding appropriate
procedures and documentation.
The program counsellor is the student's advisor in all matters pertaining to academic
consideration and can assist in defining an appropriate course of action (counsellor names
and locations can be found in Section VII - Academic Advising). It is the student's
responsibility to consult the program counsellor as soon as extenuating circumstances
affect academic performance, in order to initiate action, and provide any required
documentation.
All available evidence, including the student's performance during the semester, will be
given careful consideration when making a decision. Procedures to follow in each case
are outlined below. Questions about procedures and deadlines should be directed to the
program counsellor.
Grounds for Academic Consideration

Where possible, requests for academic consideration are to be accompanied by supporting
documentation. Students unsure of documentation requirements are encouraged to contact
their program counsellor.
26
VIII. Undergraduate Degree Regulations and Procedures, Academic Consideration, Appeals and Petitions
1. Medical Grounds
Program Counsellor's Responsibilities
For academic consideration based on medical grounds a student may be asked to provide
documentation for the period of the illness. The necessity for documentation will depend
in part upon the length of the illness and the amount of work missed during this time.
Such documentation will always be required in the event of a request for consideration
beyond the grade submission deadline for the course and must be submitted to the program
counsellor within five working days of the missed examination/course work deadline. If
the medical situation results in missed semester work, the student should contact the
instructor, presenting medical documentation where warranted. If the absence due to
illness is of a duration that will affect a number of courses or completion of the semester's
work, the student must contact the program counsellor for advice and consideration.
When the absence affects final examinations or final assignments the student should go
to Student Health Services or a personal physician for documentation. The student must
submit their documentation to their program counsellor within five working days of the
missed examination/course work deadline.
If the student and the instructor cannot arrive at a mutually agreeable accommodation to
complete course requirements prior to the course grade submission deadline, the program
counsellor may act as a mediator. The program counsellor may discuss the issue with the
department chair if appropriate.
In the event that medical, psychological or compassionate circumstances are affecting the
student's overall performance, the program counsellor will ensure that the student's
instructors are advised that academic consideration based on medical or compassionate
grounds is warranted. In such cases the program counsellor may be of assistance in
co-ordinating instructors' responses to the request for consideration.
2. Psychological Grounds
For academic consideration based on psychological grounds the student may be asked to
provide documentation for the period affected. The necessity for documentation will
depend in part upon the length of the problem and the amount of work missed during this
time. Such documentation will always be required in the event of a request for consideration
beyond the grade submission deadline for the course and must be submitted to the program
counselor within five working days of the missed examination/course work deadline. The
student should submit this documentation to the program counsellor who will then advise
the instructor of the need for consideration. If the difficulty is of a duration that will affect
a number of courses or completion of the semester's work, the student must contact the
program counsellor for advice and consideration.
3. Compassionate Grounds
Unforeseen circumstances beyond the student's control in either his/her personal or family
life may affect academic performance. The procedure to follow to request academic
consideration based on compassionate grounds depends upon the severity of the
circumstance and the amount of work missed. Students may wish to contact the instructor
for consideration for missed work resulting from a compassionate circumstance. If the
circumstance is more significant, or if the consideration sought will go beyond the grade
submission deadline for the course, the student must consult with the program counsellor
within five working days of the missed examination/course work deadline. Generally,
work commitments will not constitute grounds for academic consideration.
Incomplete Course Work

Instructors are responsible for granting academic consideration, if applicable, for course
work up to the grade submission deadline for the course. Types of consideration that may
be granted by an instructor include the setting of a make-up test, re-weighting the value
of course assignments, extending a deadline or allowing the resubmission of an assignment
(up to the grade submission deadline for the course). Students should consult with their
program counsellor for advice on an appropriate course of action if:
a. the student feels that appropriate consideration has not been granted by the instructor,
or
b. if the medical, psychological or compassionate circumstance is such that it could
affect overall semester performance or the ability to meet the course grade submission
deadline.
Student's Responsibilities
If due to medical, psychological or compassionate circumstances a student is unable to
complete any portion of the course's work the student should:
1. Inform the instructor-in-charge of the course in writing.
2. If the instructor requests it, supply documentation. If documentation is unavailable,
consult your program counsellor.
3. Complete and submit missed work by the new deadline established by the instructor.
4. Consult with the program counsellor if circumstances warrant (see a) and b) above).
If the medical, psychological or compassionate circumstance is such that it could affect
overall semester performance or the ability to meet the course grade submission deadline,
the program counsellor should be consulted regarding an appropriate course of action.
Instructor's Responsibilities
Faculty members should exercise discretion when requiring documentation, particularly
when the assessment in question constitutes a small proportion of the course grade, or
when alternative means for carrying out the assessment are available.
The Board of Undergraduate Studies recommends that faculty make every effort to
accommodate students representing the University in extracurricular activities when there
is a conflict between those activities and the requirements of the course.
If the student does not submit all of the required work by the course grade submission
deadline, the instructor shall refer the situation to the Academic Review Sub-Committee.
The instructor cannot grant extensions beyond the final date for submission of grades
for the course.
Academic Review
If final examinations, term assignments, projects, work term reports or other course
requirements are not completed by the course grade submission deadline, academic
consideration is not the responsibility of the faculty member but rather, the responsibility
of the Academic Review Sub-Committee of the program in which the student is registered.
A request for academic consideration should be made to the Academic Review
Sub-Committee during, or immediately after, the semester to which it refers. A request
for a deferred privilege for a missed final examination or other course requirements not
completed must be submitted, along with supporting documentation, to the program
counsellor within five working days of the missed examination/course work deadline.
A request to change an earlier decision of the Academic Review Sub-Committee may be
made only on the basis of relevant information not previously submitted. Students wishing
to resubmit a "Request for Academic Consideration" form with additional supporting
documentation should consult their program counsellor. Students who believe that the
decision of the Academic Review Sub-Committee is inappropriate may appeal the decision
to the Senate Committee on Student Petitions within 10 working days of the academic
review decision (see Petitions). The Senate Committee will not normally consider any
appeals submitted past this deadline.
If due to medical, psychological or compassionate circumstances the student is unable to
complete a final requirement of the course by the course grade submission deadline and
wishes academic consideration, the student should:
1. Consult with the program counsellor for advice on the appropriate consideration that
should be requested.
2. Submit a request for consideration on the "Request for Academic Consideration"
form available from Enrolment Services, Office of Registrarial Services, at
http://www.uoguelph.ca/registrar/index.cfm?downloads or from their program
counsellor. Deadlines for Academic Review Sub-Committee meetings can be found
in Section III--Schedule of Dates. A request for a deferred privilege for a missed final
examination or other course requirements not completed must be submitted, along
with supporting documentation, to the program counsellor within five working days
of the missed examination/course work deadline.
In a case where a student has not completed course requirements by the course grade
submission deadline, the instructor shall complete the "Incomplete Coursework Form".
If the medical evidence or compassionate reasons have been verified and accepted the
Academic Review Sub-Committees use this form to determine whether a student is eligible
to be considered for a deferred privilege for a missed final exam, final assignment or final
piece of the graded components of the course. The instructor should include with the
Incomplete Coursework Form any documentation provided to the instructor by the student
in support of the academic consideration request.
A student who receives credit standing will receive credit in the course without a numerical
grade. This course will not be included in the student's overall average or specialization
average.
A deferred privilege could be approval to write an examination and/or to submit an
assignment(s). Deferred privileges must be completed within the semester immediately
following the semester in which the exam/course work was originally missed, refer to
Section III--Schedule of Dates.. The Schedules Section, Office of Registrarial Services,
will inform the student of the deadline for the deferred privilege (see Deferred Privilege).
If on the basis of acceptable medical, psychological or compassionate documentation a
numerical passing grade or credit standing is granted rather than a deferred privilege, the
student may request the deferred privilege. The request must be submitted in writing to
Enrolment Services, Office of Registrarial Services, by the end of the add period for the
following semester.

Academic Accommodation of Religious Obligations

The University acknowledges the pluralistic nature of the graduate and undergraduate
communities. Accommodation will be made to students who experience a conflict between
a religious obligation and scheduled tests, mid-term examinations, final examinations, or
requirements to attend classes and participate in laboratories. The type of accommodation
granted will vary depending on the nature, weight and timing of the work for which
accommodation is sought. Accordingly, the request for alternative arrangements normally
must be submitted to the instructor in charge of the course within two weeks of the
distribution of the course outline. A student requiring accommodation may submit the
request to the instructor directly or through his/her program counsellor. The instructor
has a responsibility to provide reasonable alternative arrangements that do not put the
student at an academic disadvantage. In the case of a conflict with a final examination,
the instructor should reschedule the examination to another time during the examination
period taking care that the new date and time does not put the student at an academic
disadvantage.
In the event that a student is not satisfied with the accommodation offered by the instructor,
he/she may appeal to the Department Chair, or Director of the School, who may grant
alternative accommodation. A student who remains dissatisfied with the outcome of his/her
request may seek the assistance of the Human Rights and Equity Office to facilitate a
resolution.

admission are considered in light of the information and documentation provided
with respect to the applicant's disability and the impact on his/ her academic
record.
c. Applicants are advised that decisions concerning specific forms of academic
accommodation are made with consideration of the learning objectives of a
specific course or program. Acceptance to the University does not guarantee the
granting of any specific form of academic accommodation. If an applicant believes
that his or her choices concerning a specific course or program may be affected
by the specific forms of academic accommodation granted by the University, the
applicant should contact the CSD as early in the application to a program or
course selection process as possible.

7. Provision of Academic Accommodation - Undergraduate Students
a. Requests for academic accommodation not included in Section 6 (e.g., alternate
formats for Examinations, or alternate dates for Examinations) must be reached
on a case by case basis. For these types of requests, the CSD will provide the
Course Instructor with formal written notification of the need for the academic
accommodation as supported by the students documented assessment
(Notification). Course Instructors are encouraged to contact the CSD to discuss
the request if the accommodation requested by the student is not consistent with

course or program, if applicable and the type(s) of academic accommodation
proposed. Within 5 working days of the receipt of this report, the Dean (or
designate) shall make the decision on the type(s) of academic accommodation to
be provided and advise the parties.
8. Appeal Process
Decisions made under Sections 6 or 7 may be appealed by the student to the Senate
Committee on Student Petitions (Petitions) in accordance with Petitions Bylaws
and Regulations.
Academic Load
Full-time
Courses taken via Letter of Permission are not used by the University to calculate academic
load.
The normal full-time semester load for academic programs is 2.50 credits except where
otherwise prescribed by the schedule of studies.
Under the credit system, credit weight reflects student workload rather than contact hours.
Students should note that 10 to 12 hours of academic time and effort per week (including
classes) are expected for a 0.50 credit course. Exceeding the normal credit load for the
program can place the student at academic risk and should be carefully considered in
consultation with the Program Counsellor.
Part-time
Courses taken via Letter of Permission are not used by the University to calculate academic
load.
A student who is registered in fewer than 2.00 credits in a semester is considered to be
part-time.
Academic Misconduct
Academic misconduct is behaviour that erodes the basis of mutual trust on which scholarly
exchanges commonly rest, undermines the University's exercise of its responsibility to
evaluate students' academic achievements, or restricts the University's ability to accomplish
its learning objectives.
VIII. Undergraduate Degree Regulations and Procedures, Academic Misconduct

The University takes a serious view of academic misconduct and will severely penalize
students, faculty and staff who are found guilty of offences associated with
misappropriation of others' work, misrepresentation of personal performance and fraud,
improper access to scholarly resources, and obstructing others in pursuit of their academic
endeavours. In addition to this policy, the University has adopted a number of policies
that govern such offences, including the Responsible Conduct of Research https://
uoguelph.civicweb.net/Documents/DocumentList.aspx?ID=101475 and the Policy on
Non-academic
Misconduct
https://www.uoguelph.ca/secretariat/
o f fi c e - s e r v i c e s - s t u d e n t - j u d i c i a l - s e r v i c e s - n o n - a c a d e m i c - a p p e a l s /
policy-non-academic-misconduct. These policies will be strictly enforced. See Chapter I
Statement of Students Academic Responsibilities for additional information.
It is the responsibility of the University, its faculty, students and staff to be aware of what
constitutes academic misconduct and to do as much as possible through establishment
and use of policies and preventive procedures to limit the likelihood of offences occurring.
Furthermore, individual members of the University community have the specific
responsibility of initiating appropriate action in all instances where academic misconduct
is believed to have taken place. This responsibility includes reporting such offences when
they occur and making one's disapproval of such behaviour obvious.
University of Guelph students have the responsibility of abiding by the University's policy
on academic misconduct regardless of their location of study; faculty, staff and students
have the responsibility of supporting an environment that discourages misconduct. Students
should also be aware that if they find their academic performance affected by medical,
psychological or compassionate circumstances, they should inform the appropriate
individuals (instructors, program counsellors, graduate advisors) and follow the available
procedures for academic consideration outlined in the University's calendars.
Education and Remediation

Education and remediation are key to promoting an environment in which academic
integrity will flourish. It should not be possible for a student to claim that he/she was not
warned about the University's academic misconduct regulations, what constitutes academic
misconduct and the potential consequences of transgressing. The need to educate students
about academic integrity places a particular responsibility on faculty, especially with
respect to discipline-specific issues.
The University's Strategic Directions place high value on collaboration and co-operation
in the learning process, across disciplines and between institutions. Further, the strategic
plan recognizes the importance of students learning to work with others in group projects
and situations as key to developing skills as self-reliant learners. This is reflected in the
large number of courses at this University which involve group work and encourage
co-operation in completing assignments. However, there may be need to limit the amount
of collaboration or co-operation. Students need to be aware of, and instructors need to be
clear about assignments for which discussing or completing the work with others is not
appropriate and where the expectation is that students will work separately. Instructors
should be very explicit about expectations with respect to academic integrity, and
information with respect to academic misconduct should be presented to students as part
of the course outline, academic program orientation materials and other materials posted
and distributed to students. Students need to remain aware that instructors have access to
and the right to use electronic and other means of detection.
In addition, in the case of examinations, students should be sure that they read and
understand the regulations with respect to conduct in examinations printed on the cover
of each examination booklet, and should pay particular attention to any additional
instructions from the examination invigilators.
In support of remediation, students convicted of an academic offence may be required to
successfully complete an academic integrity remediation process.
Note: In this policy, the word "dean" means "dean or designated associate dean." The
word "chair" means "chair of a department or director of a school." The word
"department" means "department or school."
Offences
Academic misconduct is broadly understood to mean offences against the academic
integrity of the learning environment.
Below are descriptions of academic offences. It is important to note that, while the
University has attempted to present as comprehensive a list as possible, this list of potential
academic offences should not be considered exhaustive. Students are responsible for
knowing what constitutes an academic offence and faculty members have a responsibility
to provide students, early in their course or program, with information about academic
integrity that might be particular to their discipline. An offence may be deemed to have
been committed whether the student knew a particular action was an offence or ought
reasonably to have known. Whether or not a student intended to commit academic
misconduct is not relevant for a finding of guilt. Hurried or careless submission of
assignments does not excuse students from responsibility for verifying the academic
integrity of their work before submitting it. Students who are in any doubt as to whether
an action on their part could be construed as an academic offence should consult with a
faculty member or faculty advisor.
It is the responsibility of students working in a group to take all reasonable steps to ensure
that work submitted to the group by individual members has not been completed in a way
that violates this policy.
29
Further, as some academic offences may also be viewed as violations of policies on
Misconduct in Research and Scholarship, the Student Rights and Responsibilities
regulations, the criminal code and/or civil statutes, students may also be subject to
procedures and penalties outlined in those policies at the Universitys discretion, and to
criminal prosecution or civil action.
A graduate of the University may be charged with an academic offence committed while
he/she was a registered student when, in the opinion of the dean, the offense, if detected,
would have resulted in a sanction sufficiently severe that the degree would not have been
granted at the time that it was.
1. Misappropriation of Other's Work

1. Plagiarism
Plagiarism is misrepresenting the ideas, expression of ideas or work of others as one's
own. It includes reproducing or paraphrasing portions of someone else's published
or unpublished material, regardless of the source, and representing these as one's own
thinking by not acknowledging the appropriate source or by the failure to use
appropriate quotation marks. In addition to books, articles, papers and other written
works, material may include (but is not limited to): literary compositions and phrases,
performance compositions, chemical compounds, art works, laboratory reports,
research results, calculations and the results of calculations, diagrams, constructions,
computer reports, computer code/software, and material on the internet. Some
examples of plagiarism include:
submission of a take-home examination, essay, laboratory report or other
assignment written, in whole or in part, by someone else;
using direct, verbatim quotations, paraphrased material, algorithms, formulae,
scientific or mathematical concepts, or ideas without appropriate acknowledgment
in any academic assignment;
using anothers data or research findings;
buying or selling term papers or assignments;
submitting a computer program developed in whole or in part by someone else,
with or without modifications, as ones own;
Students have the responsibility to learn and use the conventions of documentation
suitable to the discipline, and are encouraged to consult with the instructor of the
course, the academic supervisor, or the department chair for clarification if needed.
Instructors should include in the materials they provide to students about academic
integrity, information about any unique, discipline-specific understandings with
respect to what must be acknowledged or cited1.
2. Copying
Copying is similar to plagiarism in that it involves the appropriation of others' work
as one's own. It includes copying in whole or in part another's test or examination
answer(s), laboratory report, essay, or other assignment.
Copying also includes submitting the same work, research or assignment for credit
on more than one occasion in two or more courses, or in the same course, without the
prior written permission of the instructor(s) in all courses involved (including courses
taken at other post-secondary institutions).
3. Unauthorized Co-operation or Collaboration
It is an offence to co-operate or collaborate in the completion of an academic
assignment, in whole or in part, when the instructor has indicated that the assignment
is to be completed on an individual basis.
1 In addition to being concerned about appropriate citation, students who wish to use the
work of others, from any source, should be aware of copyright laws and other conventions
governing intellectual property. See the Office of Research website, http://
www.uoguelph.ca/research/l, for links to the Universitys intellectual property policies.
2. Misrepresentation and Fraud

This category of offences covers a range of unacceptable activities, including the following:
1. Impersonation
Impersonation involves having someone impersonate oneself, either in person or
electronically, in class, in an examination or in connection with any type of academic
requirement, course assignment or material, or of availing oneself of the results of
such impersonation. Both the impersonator and the individual impersonated (if aware
of the impersonation) are subject to disciplinary proceedings under this policy.
2. Falsification
It is an offence to submit or present false or fraudulent assignments, research,
credentials, or other documents for any academic purpose. This includes, but is not
limited to:
falsified research or lab results and data;
concocting facts or reference;
false medical or compassionate certificates;
false letters of support or other letters of reference;
falsified academic records, transcripts or other registrarial records;
fraudulent submission practices (e.g., altering date stamps);
altering graded work for re-submission.
30
It is also falsification to misrepresent the amount of work an individual has contributed
to a group assignment or activity. Both the individual to whom work is falsely
attributed and those who acquiesce in its attribution commit an academic offence.
3. Withholding
It is an offence to withhold records, transcripts or other academic documents with the
intent to mislead or gain unfair academic advantage.
4. Unauthorized Aids and Assistance
It is an offence to use or possess an unauthorized aid, to use or obtain unauthorized
assistance, or to use or obtain prohibited material in any academic examination or
term test or in connection with any other form of academic work. Such aids or material
may include, but are not limited to, specific documents, electronic equipment or
devices, and commercial services (such as writing, editorial, software, or research
survey services). Students should assume that any such aid is prohibited unless they
are specifically advised otherwise by the instructor or invigilator. Note that
unauthorized assistance does not include student support services offered by the
University, such as the Learning Commons.
3. Improper Access and Obstruction

1. Preventing Access to Materials
It is an offence to alter, destroy, hide, remove without authorization, or in any other
way improperly restrict access to library, electronic or other materials intended for
general academic use.
2. Obstruction and Interference
It is an offence to obstruct or otherwise interfere with the scholarly activities of
another, or to alter or falsify the work of others, in order to gain unfair academic
advantage. This includes, but is not limited to, deleting data or files, interfering or
tampering with experimental data, with a human or animal subject, with a written or
other creation (for example, a painting, a sculpture, a film), with a chemical used for
research, or with any other object of study or research device.
3. Improper Access
It is an offence to improperly obtain through theft, bribery, collusion, or otherwise
access to confidential information, examinations or test questions or to gain undue
academic advantage as a result of such behaviour.
4. Improper Dissemination
It is an offence to publish, disseminate or otherwise make public to a third party
without prior written consent, confidential information. Confidential information
includes but is not limited to academic information, data or documents which are not
otherwise publicly available and which have been gathered or held with a reasonable
expectation of confidentiality.
4. Aiding and Abetting

Knowingly aiding or abetting anyone in committing any form of academic misconduct
is itself academic misconduct and subject to this policy.
Penalties
A. Range of Penalties That May be Assessed
If a student is found guilty of academic misconduct, an Official Warning will be given
that an offence is now noted in the students record and that a subsequent offence will
attract a more severe penalty. In addition, one or more of the following penalties may be
assessed:
1. A requirement for submission of a new or alternative piece of work.
2. The rescinding of University-funded scholarships or bursaries.
3. Partial or total loss of marks on the examination or assignment in which the offence
occurred.
4. Partial or total loss of marks for the course in which the offence occurred.
5. Suspension from the University for a period of between one and six consecutive
semesters. For the period of suspension, a student will not be permitted to register
and will retain none of the privileges accorded to students with respect to right of
access to University faculty, staff, facilities or services.
6. A recommendation for expulsion from the University.
7. A recommendation for revocation/rescinding of a degree. A person who is found
guilty of academic misconduct after having been approved for graduation, or after
having a degree conferred, may have the degree rescinded or revoked when, in the
opinion of the dean, the offence, if detected, would have resulted in a sanction
sufficiently severe that the degree would not have been granted at the time that it was.
B. Notes with Respect to Penalties

The following should be noted with respect to penalties:
1. Senate has approved a set of Guidelines for the Assessment of Penalties for Academic
Misconduct. These guidelines are used by chairs/directors and deans to assist them
in determining appropriate penalties for individual cases. A copy of the guidelines
can
be
found
at
http://www.uoguelph.ca/undergrad_calendar/c08/
c08-amisconduct.shtml, or may be obtained from the Senate Office or the office of
any chair or dean.

2. Students who have been found guilty of a course-based offence and who have been
assessed a penalty in addition to an Official Warning will not be permitted to drop
the course or to withdraw with failure. A student who has dropped the course prior
to the offence(s) being detected will have his/her enrolment in the course reinstated
if found guilty and if the penalty assessed is other than an Official Warning.
3. Students who have been suspended for academic misconduct will not receive credit
for any courses taken while under suspension. This policy applies to any credit course
taken during the suspension period, be it distance, or non-campus, taken in open
learning programs at the University of Guelph or at another post-secondary institution.
In addition, in the case of graduate students, any research or writing completed during
the suspension period may not be submitted in fulfillment of program requirements
once the period of suspension is concluded.
4. A student who wishes to be considered for readmission after a suspension must make
an application that will be judged on the basis of eligibility to continue. A student
who is suspended for academic misconduct and also fails to meet the continuation of
study requirement will normally be required to serve the associated penalties
consecutively.
5. A student who has been expelled from the University of Guelph is not eligible for
readmission to the University for at least five years. A student who wishes to be
considered for readmission must petition the President to have the expulsion status
removed. The President will form a hearing committee to review the case for lifting
the admission restriction. If the committee decides to remove the expulsion status,
the student who wishes to be considered for readmission must then make an application
that will be judged on the basis of eligibility to continue. If the committee decides to
leave the expulsion status in place, the student must wait at least another two years
before submitting a new petition.
6. Penalties may be applied retroactively if an offence is discovered subsequent to
completion of a course or after graduation.
Procedures
A. Notes Re: Procedures and Authority to Act
1. Deans may delegate their authority under this policy to an appropriate designate(s).
Such delegation may be full (for example, all cases are delegated to an Associate
Dean), or partial (for example, authority with respect to offences related to course
work may be delegated to departmental chairs). Deans must provide the Universitys
Judicial Officer with the name(s) of individual(s) to whom authority has been delegated
under this policy.
2. For offences related to course work (including examinations):
a. The designate or the Director of Open Learning and Educational Support will
carry out the role of the chair in cases where the offence has been committed in
an Open Learning, non-degree credit course. Degree credit courses offered through
distance are within the authority of the chair of the department offering the course.
The role of the dean in the case of non-degree credit courses offered through the
Open Learning program is carried out by the Director of Open Learning and
Educational Support .
b. For undergraduate students and open learners, the relevant dean is the dean of
the college in which the course is offered, and the dean of the college in which
the student is enrolled (if different) should receive a copy of the decision. In the
event that an offence is committed in a degree credit course by an open learner,
the Director of Open Learning and Educational Support should receive a copy
of the decision.
c. For graduate students, the relevant deans are the dean of the college in which the
course is offered and the Dean of Graduate Studies acting jointly. The dean of
the college in which the student is enrolled (if different) should receive a copy
of the decision.
3. For offences not related to courses, or for course offences involving students not
enrolled in the course, for undergraduate students the dean of the college in which
the student is enrolled is responsible for administering the policy. For graduate
students, the policy is administered jointly by the Dean of Graduate Studies and the
dean of the college in which the student is enrolled.
4. In the event that a chair/director has a conflict of interest in dealing with a case, the
dean will appoint another faculty member to deal with the case. In the event that a
deans designate has a conflict of interest in dealing with a case, the dean may appoint
an alternate designate or choose to deal with the case himself/herself. In the case of
a conflict of interest on the part of a dean, the Provost will appoint a designate to deal
with the case.
5. Wherever in this policy it states that a student is to be contacted, the normal expectation
is that such contact will be made using the students University of Guelph email
account, with a copy of any correspondence being sent to the home address provided
to the University by the student.
B. Detection and Documentation

1. Examinations

The responsibility for preventing and detecting academic misconduct in an examination
lies with the invigilators, although they make use of reports from others to assist them
in detection. In cases of suspected impersonation, the chief invigilator shall require
the student concerned to remain after the examination until the student is satisfactorily
identified. In other cases of suspected academic misconduct, the chief invigilator shall
allow the student to complete the examination, but:
may require that the student complete the examination in another location or
setting when it is deemed that such action will cause the least disruption of those
taking the examination; and
shall confiscate any suspect material (including those portions of the examination
completed to that point) and give it, along with the students other examination
booklet(s) (collected at the end of the exam) to the instructor immediately
following the examination.
The chief invigilator shall give a full report, together with any confiscated material,
to the instructor-in-charge of the course if the instructor is not the chief invigilator.
In instances of open learning courses, the material will be submitted to the Director
of Open Learning and Educational Support . The student is required to contact the
instructor no later than the end of the examination period.
2. Term assignments, including research and thesis work
The initial responsibility for detecting academic misconduct on term assignments,
etc., necessarily lies with the person(s) responsible for evaluation and discussion of
the students work, although that person may make use of reports from others to assist
in detection, and may make use of electronic means of detection appropriate to the
discipline. Where academic misconduct is suspected, the evaluator/marker shall retain
possession of any suspect material and give a full report in writing together with any
confiscated material to the instructor-in-charge of the course, or to the students
advisor, if the instructor/advisor is not the evaluator/marker. At this stage, the student
will be informed by the instructor/advisor that a suspicion of academic misconduct
is being investigated.
3. Cases outside the domain of examinations or assignments
The responsibility for detecting academic misconduct in the context of an academic
environment that is not part of the formal examination or assignment process rests
with the entire University community. Where academic misconduct is suspected, but
where it is unclear whether it is directly related to a specific course, or where the
specific course is unknown, those with knowledge of an offence should contact the
dean of the college in which the student is enrolled and the Dean of Graduate Studies
in the case of a graduate student. If the suspected offence appears to be related to a
specific course, then the instructor of the course should be contacted.
C. Investigation and Judgment

1. Offences Related to Course Work, Research, Thesis Work or Examinations
a. When an instructor or an advisor suspects that an academic offence has been
committed, he/she is responsible for gathering evidence to support or allay the
suspicion and may invite the student to meet with him/her to discuss the concerns.
The instructor/advisor should pursue the gathering of evidence in a timely way.
The normal expectation for assignments due within the semester is that
instructors/advisors will complete their evidence gathering within ten working
days of the due date for the assignment. For assignments submitted at the end of
the semester or during the examination period, the instructor has until the tenth
day of the subsequent semester to collect the evidence and determine whether to
pursue a case. In a case where an instructor/advisor requires substantial additional
time to collect and review the evidence, he/she may seek an extension of time
from the chair.
b. If after reviewing the available evidence the instructor/advisor believes an offence
may have been committed, he/she shall refer the case to the chair of the department
responsible for the course or graduate program. The referral document will include
all evidentiary material collected by the instructor/advisor along with the
transmittal form on which the instructor/advisor may include a recommendation
with respect to penalty should the allegation be upheld. A copy of the first page
of the transmittal form shall be sent to Enrolment Services/Office of Graduate
Studies by the chair.
c. If the chair believes that there is sufficient evidence to support a charge of
academic misconduct, he/she will forward the transmittal form and all evidentiary
material to the dean/dean's designate, normally within ten working days of receipt
of the allegation from the instructor/advisor.
31
d. Normally within ten working days of receipt of the case from the chair, the dean
will invite the student to meet with him/her to discuss the allegation(s). If the
student does not respond within ten working days to the request for an interview,
or if the student refuses to attend an interview, the dean may proceed with the
case. The student may be accompanied at the meeting by a support person. Prior
to meeting with the student, the dean may consult with any individuals he/she
believes pertinent to the case. At the meeting, the student will be presented with
the evidence collected by the dean to that point. Based on the student's response
to the evidence, the dean may engage in further consultation with any individuals
he/she deems pertinent to the case. The student will be informed of any other
evidence gathered as a result of those consultations and be given an opportunity
to respond prior to the dean's reaching a decision on the case
e. If after weighing the available evidence the dean finds an offence has been
committed, the dean will contact Enrolment Services/Office of Graduate Studies
as appropriate to determine whether this is a first offence.
f. In determining the appropriate penalty, the dean will consult the Guidelines for
Penalties for Academic Misconduct, will take into consideration the
recommendation from the instructor/advisor, and consider such factors as the
relative weight of the assignment, the semester level of the student, any record
of previous offences, the seriousness of the offence (e.g. the amount of work
plagiarized), and any mitigating circumstances presented by the student. For
graduate students, attention will also be paid to whether the work in which the
offence has been committed is one of the major milestones of the graduate program
(e.g., qualifying examination, thesis).
g. Normally within ten working days of the meeting with the student, or ten days
from the date of the final communication with the student with respect to any
additional evidence, the dean will inform the student in writing of the disposition
of the case. In a case where the dean requires substantial additional time to review
the evidence and come to a judgment, she/he may seek an extension of time from
the Provost.
Should the dean determine that an academic offence has not been committed
he/she shall so inform the student, the instructor/advisor and the chair in writing.
A copy of the letter will be forwarded to Enrolment Services/Office of Graduate
Studies as appropriate. Thereafter, the complaint shall have no official status as
an accusation of academic misconduct and no record of the complaint shall be
maintained on the student's record.2
Should the dean determine that an academic offence has been committed, he/she
shall inform the student in writing. The written notification should include the
offence for which the student has been found guilty and information with respect
to penalty. Copies of the written notification should be sent to any other relevant
dean(s) office(s), to the instructor/advisor, the department chair, the program
counsellor and to Enrolment Services/Office of Graduate Studies (as appropriate).
h. In a case where the dean believes suspension or a recommendation for
expulsion/revocation is warranted, he/she should consult with the Provost and
Vice-President Academic before making a final determination with respect to
penalty.
i. Should the dean recommend expulsion or revocation/rescinding of a degree,
he/she shall so inform the student in writing and forward the matter to the Senate
Committee on Student Petitions.
At that time, the student may appeal the recommendation of expulsion/revocation
and request a hearing of the Senate Committee on Student Petitions. Whether or
not a hearing is requested, the Senate Committee on Student Petitions will proceed
with the case and inform the parties involved of its decision.
In the case of an expulsion, the Senate Committee on Student Petitions may decide
to uphold the recommendation to expel, in which case the recommendation will
be forwarded to the President for final decision. Alternatively, the Senate
Committee on Student Petitions may decide to impose a lesser penalty, in which
case the President's assent is not required. When a recommendation is referred
to the President, the President may uphold the recommendation to expel or impose
a lesser penalty, which will be final.
In the case of revocation/rescinding of a degree, if the Senate Committee on
Student Petitions confirms the recommendation of rescinding/revocation of a
degree, the recommendation will be forwarded to the President. If the President
does not confirm the recommendation of rescinding/revocation of a degree, the
President may impose a lesser penalty, which will be final. If the President
confirms the recommendation, the recommendation will be forwarded to Senate
for final decision with respect to revocation/rescinding. If the Senate does not
confirm the recommendation of revocation/rescinding, the matter will be returned
to the President for a final decision with respect to a lesser penalty.
2 A statistical record will be kept by the Office of the Dean for annual reporting
purposes.
2. Other Offences
32

a. Cases involving offences that are not course-related or are not related to graduate
program work are dealt with by the relevant dean (see Procedures A. Notes Re:
Procedures and Authority to Act). Examples of such offences include, but are
not limited to falsification of credentials for admission purposes, damaging of
library materials, abetting the cheating of another in a course in which the abettor
is not enrolled, and obstructing or interfering with the academic activities of
others.
b. When a case is brought to the attention of the dean, the dean shall inform the
student that an allegation has been made and invite the student to meet to discuss
the allegation. The dean will also inform Enrolment Services/Office of Graduate
Studies (as appropriate). If the student does not respond within ten working days
to the request for an interview or refuses to attend an interview, the dean may
proceed with the case. The student may be accompanied at the meeting by a
support person. Prior to meeting with the student, the dean may meet with any
individuals or collect evidence as he/she deems pertinent to the case. At the
meeting, the student will be presented with the evidence collected by the dean to
that point. Based on the student's response to the evidence, if necessary the dean
may consult with any other individuals he/she deems pertinent to the case. The
student will be informed of any other evidence gathered as a result of those
consultations and be given an opportunity to respond prior to the dean's reaching
a decision on the case.
c. If after weighing the available evidence the dean finds that an offence has been
committed, the dean will contact Enrolment Services/Office of Graduate Studies
as appropriate to determine whether this is a first offence. The dean may impose
penalties in accordance with Penalties A. and B., above. In the event that the dean
believes suspension, expulsion or revocation to be warranted, he/she shall proceed
as in Procedures C.1. (h) and (i).
d. Normally within ten days of meeting with the student, or of the final
communication with the student with respect to evidence, the dean shall inform
the student in writing of his/her decision in the case, and copy the letter to the
relevant university officials, including Enrolment Services/Office of Graduate
Studies (as appropriate). In a case where the dean requires substantial additional
time to gather evidence and make a judgment, he/she may seek an extension from
the Provost and Vice-President Academic.
Appeals
1. Students may appeal either the finding, the penalty, or both to the Senate Student
Petitions Committee.
2. Appeals must be submitted to the Senate Student Petitions Committee within 10
working days of receipt of the decision. If the decision is mailed, it will be deemed
to have been received by the student the fifth day after it has been mailed. If the
decision is sent by courier, fax or email it shall be deemed to have been received one
day after it has been sent.
3. An appeal to the Senate Committee on Student Petitions involves an examination of
all relevant documents and evidence to determine the appropriateness of a finding of
guilt or of the assessed penalty. The procedures for conducting an appeal and for
holding a hearing are set out in the Regulations of the Senate Committee on Student
Petitions. Following an appeal or hearing, the Senate Committee on Student Petitions
may take one or more of the following courses of action:
a. confirm a finding of guilt;
b. reverse a finding of guilt (in which case no penalty shall apply);
c. confirm a penalty;
d. assess a different penalty.
Record of Academic Misconduct

Enrolment Services, or the Assistant VP of Graduate Studies, or the Director of Open
Learning and Educational Support as appropriate, shall place in the student's file a record
of all academic misconduct for which the student is penalized. Students in the Associate
Diploma Program who are found guilty of academic misconduct in an Independent Study
course taken through OAC Access towards their Associate Diploma will have the record
of the finding of guilt placed against the appropriate term.
The record of academic misconduct shall be expunged from the student's file upon
graduation, or for open learners, upon completion of a certificate or diploma. Students
who do not graduate from the University of Guelph or another university may submit an
application to the Senate Committee on Student Petitions to have the record expunged no
sooner than five years after the date of last registration. Students who have graduated at
another accredited university may submit verification of graduation to Enrolment
Services/Office of Graduate Studies and have their record expunged. The record for
expulsion is permanent, unless removed by petition to the President.
Access to the record of academic misconduct will be limited to those involved in processing
appeals and those involved in processing additional complaints against the student.
Note: Template letters to students, forms for Enrolment Services and Office of Graduate
Studies, and suggested wording for course outlines are available from the Judicial Office.
Guidelines for Penalties for Academic Misconduct

With the finding of academic misconduct, there is a mandatory penalty of Official Warning
which will stay on the students record until graduation. In addition, one or more other
penalties may be assessed. Following are guidelines used by chairs/directors and deans
in determining the appropriate additional penalties. Users need to be aware that these are
guidelines and that not all cases will fit neatly into the categories.
The guidelines below provide a range of penalties (minima and maxima) for the various
offences identified in the Policy on Academic Misconduct as well as indicate what penalty
is deemed to be the norm for the offence in the case of a first or second year student. It
should be noted that subsequent offence means any subsequent offence, not only a
subsequent offence in the same category.
For a course-based offence, the chair/director may assign penalties up to and including
loss of grades if the offence is a first offence. If there is a previous offence on the students
record, or if the chair/director believes a stronger penalty is merited, the case is forwarded
to the dean for penalty assessment.
In cases where the dean is of the opinion that there is cause for a penalty different from
those indicated in the guidelines (either higher or lower), she/he will review the penalty
with the Provost and Vice-President Academic. The dean will also consult with the Provost
in cases where the contemplated penalty is suspension or expulsion.
In a case where the dean is of the opinion that the finding of guilt is not supported by the
evidence, the dean will review the case with the chair/director. If the chair/director and
dean are unable to reach an agreement on the case, the dean will consult with the Provost
before making final determinations as to the finding of guilt and any penalty to be applied
in the event that dean upholds the finding of guilt.
In determining the appropriate penalty the chair/director or dean will take into consideration
these guidelines, the recommendation from the instructor, the recommendation from the
chair/director (in the case of a dean assigning a penalty), and any other relevant factors
such as the relative weight of the assignment, the semester level of the student, the
seriousness or extent of the offence (e.g. the amount of work plagiarized), any record of
previous offences, and any mitigating circumstances presented by the student.

Academic Review Sub-Committee Procedures

The Academic Review Sub-Committee of each program committee meets three times
each semester as follows:
after the third day of the add period.
after the twentieth class day.
after the last day of exams.
Refer to Section III--Schedule of Dates., for the submission deadlines for each of these
meetings.
A request for academic consideration should be made by the student to the Academic
Review Sub-Committee during, or immediately after, the semester to which it refers. A
request for a deferred privilege for a missed final examination or other course requirements
not completed must be submitted, along with supporting documentation, to the program
counsellor within five working days of the missed examination/course work deadline. If
a student is appealing a required to withdraw decision, the student should submit the
"Request for Academic Consideration" form by the first deadline of the next semester.
The Academic Review Sub-Committee will consider requests for academic consideration
with regard to:
1. Course results (e.g. late drop of a course(s) with or without failure, deferred or
supplemental privileges, credit status).
2. Meeting the continuation of studies requirements (e.g. probationary status).
3. Meeting the graduation requirements.
All requests are to be made in writing, preferably type-written, on the "Request for
Academic Consideration" form available from Enrolment Services, Office of Registrarial
Services at ahttp://www.uoguelph.ca/registrar/index.cfm?downloads, or from their program
counsellor. Request forms must be accompanied by relevant supporting documentation.
Requests that are inadequately documented or that lack clarity will not be dealt with but
will be returned to the student. The student should meet with the program counsellor for
advice on the preparation and submission of requests for academic consideration. A request
for a deferred privilege for a missed final examination or other course requirements not
completed must be submitted, along with supporting documentation, to the program
counsellor within five working days of the missed examination/course work deadline.
When the form is complete, the student should retain a copy along with copies of all
documentation submitted. The form, with the original documentation attached, should be
submitted to the student's program counsellor or to Enrolment Services, Office of
Registrarial Services.
The Associate Registrar, Enrolment Services, or designate, shall maintain a record of the
sub-committee's decisions and immediately inform each student in writing as to the
disposition of the request.
34
An appeal of an Academic Review Sub-Committee's decision may be submitted to
the Senate Committee on Student Petitions within 10 days of the decision. Students
who are appealing the decision of an Academic Review Sub-Committee for denial
of probationary status will not be allowed to attend classes pending the outcome of
the petition.
Academic Standing
Eligible to Continue
A student who does satisfy the program requirements for continuation of study will be
eligible to continue.
Probationary
A student who does not satisfy the program requirements for continuation of study will
be allowed to continue in his/her program if granted probationary status (see Continuation
of Study in this section).
Required to Withdraw
A student who does not satisfy the program requirements for continuation of study will
be required to withdraw from the University for a minimum of two semesters (see
Continuation of Study in this section).
Students who do not satisfy the program requirements may appeal to the Academic Review
Sub-Committee for probationary status to be granted based on medical, psychological or
compassionate grounds.
minimum two semesters of rustication. Students should consult Section IV--Admission
Information regarding appropriate admission requirements and deadline dates.
A student who has been required to withdraw and who has made an appeal for probationary
status to the Academic Review Sub-Committee will not be allowed to attend classes until
such time that the appeal is granted.
A term academic standing is assigned to each completed semester according to the
requirements of the Continuation of Study policy. A student whose term academic standing
is Required to Withdraw according to the requirements of the Continuation of Study policy
may have their term academic standing changed to "probation" as a result of a Request
for Academic Consideration.
Adding Courses
A student may not add a course in which pass standing (or higher) has been achieved on
a previous course attempt unless so directed by the appropriate Academic Review
Sub-committee.
All course additions to a student's program for a particular semester are to be completed
by the end of the add period. On the last day of the add period, students will be able to
add courses up to a maximum of 3.25 credits on a first-come, first-served basis.
Additionally, with a signature from the program counsellor, under exceptional
circumstances a student will be able to enrol in more than 2.75 credits earlier in the process.
The addition of a course after the end of the add period will be considered only in
exceptional circumstances and will require the approval of both the instructor for the
course and the program counsellor of the program in which the student is enrolled. The
program counsellor's signature should be sought first but does not presume the judgment
of the instructor as to the appropriateness of the late addition for his or her particular
course. In practice, the following have been deemed to be exceptional circumstances:
illness or compassionate grounds for missing all or part of the first three class days;
interchanging courses with common lectures, one with and one without labs; late resolution
of appeals; failure of a deferred course condition or examination; university errors in
registration procedures.
Caution: Students granted permission to add a course after the end of the add period may
encounter difficulty in mastering course content and may be unable to meet all course
requirements. The University has no obligation to assist students to pick up material that
has been missed because of late enrolment.
Course Requisite(s)
A student wishing to enrol in a course for which he/she does not have credit for the stated
course requisite(s) may seek permission from the instructor to have the requisite(s) waived.
The student seeking the waiver must obtain a "Course Requisite/Restriction Waiver" and
have it completed by the instructor. The student must then present the completed form
along with a completed Course Request form to Enrolment Services for processing. Waiver
forms are available from Enrolment Services, Office of Registrarial Services, Level 3,
University Centre. https://webadvisor.uoguelph.ca/st/index.shtml.
Distance Education Courses

Distance Education courses may be added up to the end of the add period, with the
permission of the Open Learning and Educational Support.
Program Approval
Program Approval is required to add courses if the student is adding more than the normal
course load.
VIII. Undergraduate Degree Regulations and Procedures, Academic Standing
Regular Courses
Regular courses may be added without permission of the department. Regular courses are
those courses that are not designated as Priority Access in Chapter XII.
Two-Semester Courses
When adding a two-semester course, students must complete the course selection process
for each part of the course during the appropriate course selection period. (e.g. AGR*2351
in the Fall semester and AGR*2352 in the Winter semester). These courses must be taken
in consecutive semesters as outlined in the course description.
Address for University Communication

Depending on the nature and timing of the communication, the University may use one
of these addresses to communicate with students. Students are, therefore, responsible for
checking all of the following on a regular basis:
Email Address
The University issued email address is considered an official address and will be
used for correspondence from the University. Students are responsible for monitoring
their University-issued email account regularly. See Section I--Statement of Students'
Academic Responsibilities for more information.
Home Address
Students are responsible for maintaining a current mailing address with the University.
Address changes can be made, in writing, through Enrolment Services.
Admissions
University of Guelph students may, at some point, be required to complete and submit an
application form to the Admission Services Office. The two most common reasons for
submitting this internal application form are: to apply to transfer from one degree program
to another or to apply for readmission to a program.
Application forms must be submitted to Admission Services by the deadline date
established for each semester. An application fee is payable at the time the application is
submitted (refer to Section III--Schedule of Dates.).
Application deadline dates are published in Section IV--Admission Information.
Associated Program Requirements

Program Committees have the option of identifying, as requirements for graduation,
program components that are not academic courses and do not carry an academic credit
weight. Associated Program Requirements allow programs to give formal recognition
(but not academic credit) to the successful completion of program components that are
primarily non-academic but are judged by the program committee as essential to fulfil
the objectives of a degree or diploma program. Associated Program Requirements, when
valid, are identified in Section X--Degree Programs in the schedule of studies for each
appropriate area of study.
Attendance at Class
Instructors will inform students of the attendance requirements for individual courses in
accordance with the policy of the department or school.
Caution: A student who for any reason does not attend classes regularly, runs the risk of
being unable to complete the work of the semester and is advised to report to the program
counsellor for academic counselling upon return to classes.
Auditing Courses
A student may audit a course upon approval of the department offering the course and
payment of a fee. The department shall provide to persons intending to audit a course a
written statement prescribing the extent to which they may participate in the work of the
course. No official transcript record of audited courses will be provided. The procedures
for registration and course changes are the same as for regular course attempts, except
that after the end of the add period, a student who is registered under audit status for a
particular course is committed to that status and may not convert to credit status for the
same course. A student may change from credit to audit status up to the drop deadline
applicable to that course, with approval. A fee is assigned for each audit course (refer to
Section VI--Schedule of Fees) except in the case of a student holding full-time
classification. Full-time students who have received approval for audit courses are not
assessed additional fees.
Permission to audit must be obtained from the instructor for the course, the chair of the
department offering the course, and the student's program counsellor.
The student who receives approval to audit should discuss with the instructor the conditions
under which that approval is given including, for example, attendance, submission of term
work, taking of examinations.
An approved audit course does not constitute a course attempt. No official grade will be
reported, and audit courses will not be used in the determination of the eligibility for
continuation of study. Also, no official documentation will be provided to verify the
auditing of a course.
Audit courses are not considered in calculating full-time or part-time status.
VIII. Undergraduate Degree Regulations and Procedures, Class Level Calculation
Class Level Calculation

All programs determine class level on the basis of successfully completed credits plus the
number of credits in progress. As courses are dropped and added, or grades are received,
the class level may be adjusted accordingly. Class Level is determined as follows:
Class Level Calculation
Successfully Completed Credits and Credits

Students will follow Schedule 1 if:

1. they have registered for the first time at the University of Guelph with no previous
registration in another college or university; or
2. they are registered at Guelph in the Open Learning Program and taking credit courses;
or
3. they have been registered in a program at this University, are eligible to continue
study in that program and subsequently transfer to another degree program (including
students transferring from Open Learning to a degree program); or
4. they have transferred from another university or college and have been admitted to
semester 1 at this University; or
5. they have been required for any reason other than academic performance to withdraw
from the program, and subsequently are accepted for readmission to that program; or
6. they have registered at the University of Guelph as an exchange student.
17.75 - 20.00
Schedule 1 Regulations
20.25 - 22.50

All degree programs, Open Learning and General Studies have established conditions
which must be met for continuation of study. Continuation of study within a program is
permitted provided the standards of academic performance listed below are met. In some
instances, students not meeting the requirements may be allowed to proceed on probation
(see Academic Standing-Probationary). If these conditions are not met, the student will
be required to withdraw from the program for a minimum of two semesters and may apply
for readmission after that period of time.
The continuation of study regulations at the University of Guelph are based on the principle
that students must maintain a minimum average of 60%. To allow for transition issues,
some leniency has been built into the minimum average requirement during the first 5.00
credit attempts. The student's cumulative average will be reviewed first. If the student's
cumulative average does not meet the minimum required, the student will either be required
to withdraw or placed on probation. When a student is placed on probation he/she will be
required to obtain a minimum semester average. In subsequent semesters the student will
either be required to withdraw, allowed to continue on probation, or be placed back on
regular status. Students will be taken off probation once their cumulative average is greater
than, or equal to 60%.
Conditions for continuation of study are applied using the following tables:
Credit Standing
In rare circumstances, where a student has:
a. not completed a courses requirements and would normally be eligible for a deferred
privilege but is unable to complete one because they are impacted by extreme medical,
psychological or compassionate circumstances beyond their control, or
b. where extreme circumstances have impacted the students level of achievement as
reflected in the final course grade,
they may submit a request to the Academic Review Sub-committee for credit standing in
the course.
Under a) above, in circumstances where students are able to provide appropriate
documentation that there is little reasonable expectation that the outstanding components
of evaluation can be completed by the end of the subsequent semester, they may make a
request for credit standing.
Under b) above, in circumstances where students are able to provide appropriate
documentation that their level of achievement as reflected in the final course grade was
impacted by extreme circumstances, they may make a request for credit standing.
Extreme circumstances are generally defined as catastrophic circumstances beyond the
students control that renders the student incapable of accessing the academic consideration
process.
A student awarded credit standing by the Academic Review Sub-committee will receive
credit for the course(s) with the notation of CRD instead of a numerical grade. The effect
of this on the students program is that the course(s) are not included in the calculation
of the students overall cumulative or semester average, or specialization average.
The request for credit standing must be made in writing to the Academic Review
Subcommittee of the students degree program, and it must be accompanied by supporting
documentation. For students to be considered for credit standing, they must have:
i. Completed at least 75% of the graded components of the course(s) for which credit
standing is being requested; and
ii. Received a cumulative passing grade for the components of the course which were
evaluated.
Students must submit written requests for credit standing, along with their supporting
documentation, to the Academic Review Sub-committee via their Program Counsellor
within the first five class days of the subsequent semester. Students written requests for
credit standing must include an explanation of why they are unable to undertake or
complete a deferred privilege in order to complete the courses evaluative components
and/or an explanation of the extreme circumstances which affected their final course
grade.
Requests for Credit Standing are not normally granted more than once in a students
program and consideration is limited to a maximum of one semester of courses in the
students program (a single request may include one, some, or all courses in the semester
specified in the request).
Continuation of Study
For continuation of study within a degree program, Open Learning or General Studies, a
student must satisfy the conditions as set down under Schedule 1 or Schedule 2. The
appropriate schedule will be determined by the criteria outlined below.
Schedule 3 is outlined in the Diploma Program Calendar and is only applicable to students
registered in a Diploma program.
Schedule 5 is outlined in the Degree Programs section of this calendar (Section X--Doctor
of Veterinary Medicine) and is only applicable to students registered in the Doctor of
Veterinary Medicine program.
Number of Credit Attempts: between 0.25 and 2.50

Students who have attempted between 0.25 and 2.50 credits will be allowed to continue
regardless of the cumulative average. Students will be placed on probation if their
cumulative average falls below 50%.
Number of Credit Attempts: between 2.75 and 5.00

Normally students who transfer from another university or college will be required to
follow Schedule 2. Students who are readmitted to this University but whose prior record
renders them ineligible to proceed under Schedule 1 will be required to follow Schedule
2.
Schedule 2 Regulations
Continuation of study is permitted provided the student meets the conditions outlined
below. In some instances, students not meeting the requirements may be allowed to proceed
on probation. If these conditions are not met, the student will be required to withdraw
from the program for a minimum of two semesters and may apply for readmission after
that time.
The continuation of study regulations are based on the principle that students must be
maintaining a 60% average. The details of the continuation of study model follow. The
student's cumulative average will first be reviewed. If it does not meet the required level,
the student will either be required to withdraw or placed on probation. Students who are
placed on probation will be required to obtain a given semester average in subsequent
semesters. As a result of this review, the student will either be required to withdraw,
remain on probation, or placed back on regular status. Students will be taken off probation
once their cumulative average rises above 60%.
Continuation of Study is assessed each semester. Students whose cumulative average falls
below 60% will be placed on probation for one semester, and then assessed based on their
semester average.
Course Selection
This is the procedure by which students indicate their course requests, including the
appropriate course section for upcoming semesters. Program approval may be required
as outlined in Section VII - Academic Advising. Subject to the availability of a published
timetable, students may select courses for more than one semester. Students are cautioned
that courses may be subject to listed enrolment restrictions. In such cases, priority in the
selection of students to receive the course will be given to those who have selected courses
prior to the start of the semester. For further information, refer to Priority Access Courses
in this section of the calendar.
Students are normally restricted to selecting 2.75 credits during course selection and up
to the last day of the add period. A number of programs have Senate-approved schedules
of study that require students to register in more than 2.75 credits for particular semesters.
As a result, these programs are exempted from the 2.75 restriction as required.
On the last day of the add period, students are allowed to add courses up to a maximum
of 3.25 credits on a first-come, first-served basis. Additionally, with approval from the
program counsellor, under exceptional circumstances, a student can enrol in more than
2.75 credits earlier in the process.
New Students
A booklet including course selection material will be forwarded to new students by the
Office of Registrarial Services. Consult this booklet to determine the procedures for course
selection that pertain to the program to which you have applied. Students who are unable
to return their course selection prior to the published deadline date have an opportunity
to make their selection during the extended add period.
In-Course Students
S < 60%
Course selection material for upcoming semesters will be available during the semester
to all registered students. Students who are not currently registered should check
WebAdvisor for course selection dates or refer to Section III--Schedule of Dates..
There is a scheduled course selection period each semester where students can select
courses for upcoming semesters (refer to Section III--Schedule of Dates for the exact
dates).
Course selection is important for a number of reasons:
a billing is generated via WebAdvisor by Student Financial Services on the basis of
the course selection.
course sections may be full after the course selection period and those who have not
selected courses may not be able to enrol in them.
Students are encouraged to select courses for more than one semester at a time,
subject to the availability of an Undergraduate Course Timetable.
Students are encouraged to select their courses using WebAdvisor, however, they may
choose to complete an "Undergraduate Course Request" form. A separate "Undergraduate
Course Request" form must be completed for each semester. "Undergraduate Course
Request" forms must be submitted by the course selection deadline date for the applicable
semester. Students who miss the course selection deadline must add their courses at the
start of the semester (see Adding Courses and Dropping Courses in this section of the
Undergraduate Calendar).

Withdrawal with Failure (WF)]. Courses taken on a letter of permission will also not be
included in the calculations. Students negatively affected by the omission of these courses
in the Continuation of Study calculations may appeal a continuation decision to the
Academic Review Committee.
Course Sections
Student are advised of their course section when they receive their individual course
schedule (WebAdvisor) at the beginning of the semester. Course section information
indicates the meeting times and room for each course.
Students must attend the course section on their course schedule. In the event that a section
change is necessary the student must drop the old section and add the new one following
the add/drop process.
Department Chair's Responsibilities

The department chair will designate the responsibility for the approving of section changes
during the add period. The approval of section changes may be done by the department
or the responsibility may be assigned to individual instructors.
Registrar's Responsibilities
Enrolment Services confirms with the students on their individual course schedules
(WebAdvisor) the course section in which they are enrolled.
Students must stay in assigned course sections. In the event that a section change is desired
the department and/or instructor offering the course must be consulted.
1. Complete the Course Selection process.
2. Obtain program approvals if necessary (refer Section VII - Academic Advising).
3. Submit the request using WebAdvisor. If a student is required to submit a form to
Enrolment Services he/she should complete the General section (Section A) of the
Undergraduate Course Request form.
When a two-semester course is selected, students must complete the course selection
process for each term during the appropriate course selection period. These courses must
be taken in consecutive semesters as outlined in the course description.
All inquiries regarding distance education courses should be directed to the Open
Learning and Educational Support. http://www.open.uoguelph.ca/
To change your specialization, please use the "Undergraduate Schedule of Studies Change
Request" form and submit it to Enrolment Services.
It is the student's responsibility to ensure that the prerequisites have been satisfied for any
course selected. Failure to do so will result in registration in the course being denied unless
a "Course Waiver Request" form, showing instructor approval, is presented to Enrolment
Services. NOTE: Students who select a course for a future semester and who fail or drop
the prerequisite(s) for the course in the current semester must drop the course. A
replacement may be added during the add period.
VIII. Undergraduate Degree Regulations and Procedures, Dean's Honours List

A student may not register for a course in which pass standing (or higher) has been achieved
on a previous course attempt unless so directed by the appropriate Academic Review
Sub-Committee.
Diploma courses are available only to students registered in one of the Associate
Diploma programs. Degree students who register in Associate Diploma courses will
have the courses dropped from their record.
Students not currently registered should check WebAdvisor or the Schedule of Dates
for the course selection dates. Students missing the deadline dates will have to add
their courses during the add period.
Departmental Advisor's Responsibilities

All advisors should be familiar with any course restrictions that apply to courses in their
department.
Advisors should be prepared to help students plan a course program with emphasis on
meeting specialization and program requirements for graduation.
Advisors should approve the overall course program where appropriate. Refer to Section
VII - Academic Advising.

A counsellor may withhold program approval if any of the following applies:
1. the student has not taken the necessary prerequisites or has not selected the necessary
corequisites;
2. the program requirements stated as such in the Undergraduate Calendar are not
observed;
3. the selection does not conform with decisions concerning the student that have been
reached by the Admissions and Academic Review Sub-Committees.
A student wishing to take more than the normal number of credits must have the approval
of the appropriate dean or designate. Refer to Section VII - Academic Advising
To coordinate and prepare all course selection information for distribution to all in-course
students and to receive all completed "Course Waiver Request" forms.
To produce course counts based on course selection and distribute the information to the
appropriate department chair for his/her recommendations, regarding enrolment
management.
Dean's Honours List

Effective Spring 1986, the University established a Dean's Honours List for full-time
students which is recognized on students' transcripts. (Prior to Spring 1986 colleges used
different criteria and the designation was not recognized on transcripts.) In Fall 1996 the
Dean's Honours List procedures were revised to include all undergraduate programs.
Effective Spring 1991 the Dean's Honours List procedures were extended to accommodate
part-time study (see 2. below). Part-time students must contact their College Dean's Office
to formally request that the Dean's Honours List designation be applied to their official
transcript. As part of the request, the student must identify the semester to be considered
for the listing (e.g. Fall 2000). Approved requests will be forwarded by the Dean's Office
to the Associate Registrar, Enrolment Services. The Dean's Honours List will include:
1. students taking full-time studies who have obtained a minimum semester average of
80.0%.
2. students who in part-time semesters (which do not need to be consecutive) attain a
minimum cumulative average of 80.0% in a sequence of at least 2.00 credits. All
credits will be counted and the designation will appear under the last of the semesters
making up the average, and in the graduating semester of students who have maintained
a cumulative average of 80.0% since their last Dean's Honours List Designation.
3. a student with a deferred condition, or a mark not received, or the first part of a two
semester course in progress, will not be evaluated for placement on the Dean's Honours
List until the academic record for that semester has been completed.
4. a part-time student who transfers from program to program within the University
should consult the appropriate dean's office about the eligibility for the Dean's Honours
List.
Students who have consistently maintained a high average, but for whom a change in
program, in part-time status in the graduating semester, or other anomalies have prevented
placement on the Dean's Honours List, should consult the appropriate dean's office about
eligibility for the Dean's Honours List.
Students with a high level of academic achievement on exchange programs will be
considered for the Dean's Honours List based on a recommendation to the appropriate
Dean from the exchange co-ordinator.
Note: The calculation of full-time and part-time status for students includes courses with
credit (CRD) standing or pass (P) standing. These courses do not affect the calculation
of the averages used to determine Dean's Honours. Within each period of consideration
there must be at least one course with a numeric grade for a student to qualify for Dean's
Honours List unless the student has been on exchange for that period. Courses taken via
Letter of Permission do not contribute the calculation of full-time or part-time status.
37
Deferred Privileges
When students do not write a required final examination, complete a final assignment, or
complete a work term report by the deadline, they may be eligible for a deferred privilege.
A deferred privilege is the opportunity to complete the final course requirements after the
end of the semester. The nature of the deferred privilege may take the form of either a
Deferred Condition or a Deferred Examination. The Academic Review Sub-Committee
grants deferred privileges on the basis of medical, psychological, or compassionate
consideration (see Academic Consideration and Appeals).
Deferred privileges must be completed within the semester immediately following the
semester in which the exam/course work was originally missed (refer to Section
III--Schedule of Dates). If the Academic Review Sub-Committee assigns a passing grade
or credit standing (CRD) on the basis of medical, psychological, or compassionate
consideration, a student may request a deferred privilege instead. The student must make
the request in writing to their Program Counsellor. The grade resulting from the deferred
privilege will become part of the student's official academic record.
Instructors do not grant deferred privileges. They can only grant academic
consideration for work that is due during the semester and cannot grant extensions
beyond their deadline for submission of final grades. The instructor should note on
the Incomplete Coursework Form any special circumstances relating either to the
student or to the way the course was conducted (see Final Grades).
Enrolment Services records the results of deferred privileges, and re-evaluates the student's
academic record for continuation of study. The University reserves the right to disallow
registration until all deferred privileges are complete and the student's final standing is
calculated.
Deferred Condition
The instructor and/or Chair/Director determine the requirements and conduct of the
deferred condition. The deferred condition may be a written test, an oral test, an
assignment, a laboratory practical, or any other method of evaluation. The
requirements for completion of the deferred condition are documented on the "Terms
of Supplemental/ Deferred Condition" form https://webadvisor.uoguelph.ca/st/
index.shtml and a copy of the form is retained by the instructor and the student. The
department notifies Enrolment Services of the results of a deferred condition,
normally within 7 days of its completion.
Students must normally complete a deferred condition by the end of the deferred
examination schedule in the semester immediately following the completion of the
course (refer to Section III--Schedule of Dates). Scheduling, Office of Registrarial
Services advises students in writing of the deadline for the completion of a condition.
In addition, Scheduling directs the student to the "Terms of Supplemental/Deferred
Condition" form https://webadvisor.uoguelph.ca/st/index.shtml. It is the student's
responsibility to contact the instructor and make arrangements for the details of the
condition.
Scheduling advises departments via electronic mail of the students who have been
granted deferred conditions. The memorandum specifies the date for completion of
the deferred condition, and the deadline for the submission of final grades to
Enrolment Services. It is the responsibility of the Chair/Director or designate to
advise the appropriate instructors of the deferred conditions that have been granted.
If the condition is not completed by the required date, a grade is assigned based on
the term work completed as indicated on the original Incomplete Coursework Form.
An extension beyond the end of the deferred examination period will be granted
only in extreme circumstances - and with provision of additional documentation and must be completed within the same semester the original deferred condition
was missed. Students may be considered for an extension or other consideration, if
medical, psychological or compassionate reasons prevail at the time of the scheduled
condition. In this case, the student should consult with their program counsellor and
may submit a "Request for Academic Consideration" form with documentation
within five working days of the missed condition deadline to their program counsellor
or to Enrolment Services, Office of Registrarial Services.
Deferred Examination
Scheduling Services schedules and supervises deferred examinations that are two
hours in length. Scheduling notifies departments of the deferred examination schedule
and advises the students of the date, time and location of their deferred examinations.
The Academic Review Sub-Committees expect students to write deferred
examinations during the deferred examination period that follows the end of the
semester in which the course was taken (refer to Section III--Schedule of Dates).
38
VIII. Undergraduate Degree Regulations and Procedures, Dropping Courses

When conflicts arise between a students deferred final examination and a midterm
examination, the deferred examination takes precedence. The instructor for the class
in which the midterm is being written shall make appropriate accommodation,
mutually agreeable the student and instructor, for the student to make up the missed
midterm examination. If the student and instructor are not able to come to an
agreement, they will refer the matter to the Chair/Director responsible for the course.
An extension beyond the end of the deferred examination period will be granted
only in extreme circumstances and with provision of additional documentation
and must be completed within the same semester the original deferred examination
was missed. Students may request an extension, or other consideration if medical,
psychological or compassionate reasons prevail at the time of the scheduled deferred
examination. In this case, the student should consult with their program counsellor
and must submit a "Request for Academic Consideration" form with documentation
within five working days of the missed examination deadline to their program
counsellor or to Enrolment Services, Office of Registrarial Services.
Procedures for Deferred Privileges

are ready for pickup in Scheduling.
Dropping Courses
All course drops from a student's program for a particular semester are to be completed
by the dates specified in the Section III--Schedule of Dates.. Courses that are one semester
long must be dropped by the end of the fortieth class day; two-semester courses must be
dropped by the last day of the add period in the second semester.
The Academic Review Sub-Committee of the program in which the student is registered
may grant a request to drop a course or courses after the deadline only if there are sufficient
extenuating medical, psychological, or compassionate considerations (see Academic
Consideration and Appeals). Students must submit written requests for a late drop, along
with their supporting documentation, to their Program Counsellor no later than the fifth
day of classes of the following semester.
Student who are granted a late course drop will have reference to the course completely
removed from their transcript.
Deadline Dates
In all cases, if course changes are made, using WebAdvisor or the "Undergraduate Course
Request" form, the changes must be made by the drop deadline (refer to Section
VI--Schedule of Fees for the refund schedule).
The deadline dates for dropping courses (i.e. the fortieth class day) are noted in Section
III--Schedule of Dates.
Instructor Notification
In some cases the instructor must be notified when a student is dropping a courses, for
example, where students care for laboratory animals, or where supplies or books on loan
must be returned. If instructor notification is required to drop the course, this will be
specified on the course outline and announced in the first class meeting.
Refunds
Refer to Section VI--Schedule of Fees for refund schedule. Normally, changes to the
effective date of dropped courses are only allowed for documented medical or
compassionate reasons and require the approval of the program counsellor.
Regular Courses
Regular courses may be dropped from the start of the add period to the fortieth class day
without approval except where instructor notification is required (see Instructor Notification

be scheduled on public holidays. Students are advised to note Section III--Schedule of
Dates. Students who encounter a conflict between a scheduled mid-term or final
examination and a religious obligation (see Academic Accommodation of Religious
Obligations) must contact the instructor-in-charge or their program counsellor to request
that alternate arrangements be made. A listing of major religious holidays is available
from the Office of Student Affairs.
VIII. Undergraduate Degree Regulations and Procedures, Examinations
Mid-Term Examinations
Term tests must not be scheduled during the last five class days prior to the final
examination period. Exceptions may be granted by the Dean (or designates) for practical
evaluations such a Laboratory or Studio tests, with the scheduling of such tests indicated
in the course outline. Short quizzes which have been a regularly scheduled part of the
course and which are intended to review small amounts of material are not considered
term tests and may be held during the last five class days.
Departments are urged by the Board of Undergraduate Studies to make every effort to
schedule term tests and examinations in regularly scheduled class time. The Board
recommends that faculty make every effort to accommodate students representing the
University in extra-curricular activities when there is a conflict between those activities
and scheduled tests or examinations held outside regularly scheduled classes.
The directors of schools and department chairs must apply the policy having due regard
to the special needs of courses over which they have jurisdiction.
The Board of Undergraduate Studies has reaffirmed the commitment to maintain the 17:20
to 19:00 time slot free of academic activities as much as possible. However, from time to
time approval may be given to scheduling classes or labs in that time slot. Requests for
scheduling out-of-class mid-term examinations should also be restricted as much as
possible to regular academic hours (8:30-17:20 and 19:00-22:00). In the event that
appropriate space is not available during regular hours, the use of the 17:20-19:00 time
slot may be approved.
Instructors are cautioned that if there is a scheduling conflict between a scheduled class
for another course and the proposed time for the mid-term examination, the scheduled
class takes priority and students with such a conflict must be accommodated.
When conflicts arise between deferred final examinations and midterm examinations, the
deferred final examination must take precedence. The instructor for the class in which
the midterm is being written shall make appropriate accommodation, mutually agreeable
to the student and instructor, for the student to make up for the missed mid-term exam.
If the student and the instructor are not able to come to a mutual agreement, the matter
will be referred to the appropriate department chair.
All additional rooms for mid-term examinations are to be booked through Scheduling
Services. orsrooms@uoguelph.ca
Chair/Director's Responsibilities
1. The conduct of all term examinations.
2. Appointing an adequate number of invigilators to assist the instructor-in charge.
1. Taking attendance record at each term examination. The attendance record is for the
department's use and is not submitted to Registrarial Services.
2. Exercising discretion when requiring certification of illness. In particular, instructors
are encouraged not to require certification of illness affecting semester work when
the assessment in question constitutes a small proportion of the course grade, or when
alternative means for carrying out the assessment are available.
Final Examinations/Assignments and Final Week of Classes

Final Week of Classes
Final term assignments or papers may be due in the last five class days prior to the final
examination period. Due dates for these evaluations should be stated in the course outline.
Final assignments along with all necessary resource material should be available to students
no later than the end of the 9th week of classes. Take-home examinations may not be due
in the last week of classes.
Term tests must not be scheduled during the last five class days prior to the final
examination period. Exceptions may be granted by the Dean (or designates) for practical
evaluations such as Laboratory or Studio tests, with the scheduling of such tests indicated
in the course outline. Short quizzes which have been a regularly scheduled part of the
course and which are intended to review small amounts of material are not considered
term tests and may be held during the last five class days.
Final Examinations (Regular, Take-Home and Other Format) and

Final Assignments
Where regular final examinations are to be given they must be given during the examination
period. All regular final examinations shall be two hours in duration. The following
guidelines for conducting final examinations have been approved by Senate.
1. Departments should indicate to Scheduling Services whether a final examination time
slot is required for a course. Departments will indicate whether:
the examination will be a regular, sit-down examination for which a room is
required;
the examination will be a take-home examination;
the examination will be in some other format (orals; computer exams; juried
performance exams, etc.).
2. Unless approved by the Department Chair, examinations for 1000 level courses will
be in regular, sit-down format only.
3. The final examination period should be scheduled so as to provide a two day break
between the last day of classes and the first day of examinations.
39
4. The final examination period consists of eleven days, except in the Summer semester,
where it is eight days.
5. The periods scheduled for final examinations which are to be written in examination
halls shall be all of two hours in duration. No regular examination held during the
final dates scheduled for final examination periods shall be longer than two hours.
(Note: Some DVM courses are exempted from this rule and require three hour exams.)
6. Under normal circumstances, changes to the published examination timetable are not
permitted.
7. Where final examinations in either regular, take-home or other format are to be given,
they must be given or due during the final examination period.
8. The Office of Registrarial Services has determined the 9th day (6th day in the 12-week
format summer semester; 4th day in the 6-week format summer semester) of the
examination period as the final due date that may be assigned for take home
examinations or exams given in other than regular, sit-down format. When using a
take-home or other format final examination, departments will inform the Office of
Registrarial Services whether they are using the 9th day (6th day in the 12-week
format summer semester; 4th day in the 6-week format summer semester) of the
examination period as the due date, or whether they are using an earlier date. This
information must be provided to ORS before the beginning of the semester, and the
due date must be noted on the course outline distributed at the first class meeting.
9. Faculty using take-home examinations will determine when the examination paper
will be made available to students, but must allow students at least 72 hours between
the date of issue of the exam and the due date. The date of issue of the examination
and the due date must be included in the course outline distributed at the first class
meeting. If a student's time to complete a take-home examination is significantly
lessened because of the number and timing of regularly scheduled sit-down
examinations, the instructor may grant an extension, provided the new due date is not
beyond the grade submission deadline for the course. The student must initiate such
a request no later than the end of the second week of classes. The length of the
extension will be at the instructor's discretion and instructors are advised to give the
student the new due date in writing. The date of issue of the examination and its due
date must be included in the course outline distributed at the first class meeting.
10. If the examination is to be handed out after the end of classes, the instructor will be
responsible for arranging distribution and for ensuring that students have the
appropriate opportunity to ask questions for clarification.
11. Final assignments or papers may be due either during the final examination period
or in the last week of classes. In either case, the assignments along with all necessary
resource material should be available to students no later than the end of the 9th week
of classes and the due date and date of issue of the assignment must be included in
the course outline distributed at the first class meeting. The Office of Registrarial
Services has determined the 9th day (6th day in the 12-week format summer semester;
4th day in the 6-week format summer semester) of the examination period as the final
due date that may be assigned for final assignments due in the examination period.
When a final assignment used in lieu of a final examination is to be due in the
examination period, the department will inform the Office of Registrarial Services
whether they are using the 9th day (6th day in the 12-week format summer semester;
4th day in the 6-week format summer semester) of the examination period, or whether
they are using an earlier date. This information must be provided to O.R.S. before
the beginning of the semester and must be included on the course outline distributed
at the first class meeting. Instructors who opt for an assignment to be due during the
examination period may not also include a final examination in their courses.
The Office of Registrarial Services of the University is the final arbiter of the manner of
conducting examinations and receives general directives on policy from the Provost and
Vice President (Academic), and the Board of Undergraduate Studies.
The Office of Registrarial Services will, in cooperation with the appropriate examiners,
establish special examination procedures as and when needed, for students who have
temporary or permanent physical disabilities. Medical opinion shall be sought whenever
there is doubt about the extent of the disability.

9. Appointing invigilators for examinations under the direction of Scheduling Services
(2 invigilators for a class of 20-25 students and 1 additional invigilator for each
additional 50 students in a class, thus a class of 125 students should have 4
invigilators).
Instructors who wish to hold examinations in other than sit-down, regular formats should
discuss procedures with their Chair/Director.
The faculty member(s) responsible for the course and the setting of the examination, or
a designate, shall be the instructor(s)-in-charge for final examinations in that course. They
are responsible for the following.
1. Including the time of the final examination on the course outline distributed to students
at the commencement of the semester. Note that under normal circumstances, once
established, the date, time and location of final examinations may not be changed

instructions can be made at the examination hall with the exception of corrections
to printed instructions and material.
9. Where a student does not write the final examination, following the procedures outlined
under Academic Consideration in this section of the calendar.
1. Students are advised that the Final Examination schedules are available for Fall
Semester by mid-August, for Winter Semester by mid-December, and for Summer
Semester by mid-April. Students are required to consult the final examination timetable
in order to avoid conflicts in examination times when adding courses in subsequent
Add periods. Students may not remain registered in courses with conflicting final
examinations unless written approval is obtained from the dean or director and the
instructors-in-charge of the courses. (Note that three examinations in 24 hours does
not constitute an examination conflict. A conflict exists only where two examinations
are scheduled into the same timeslot.)
2. ACADEMIC CONSIDERATION IS NOT GIVEN TO STUDENTS WHO MISREAD
PUBLISHED TIMETABLES.
3. One week prior to the commencement of Final Examinations, the Final Examination
location information will be posted in the Library, Athletic Centre, Office of
Registrarial Services and on WebAdvisor. Students may also check their personal
examination schedule on WebAdvisor by selecting Class Schedule, the current
Term, and then Exam Schedule Grid.
4. Students in Distance Education courses who live more than 170 km from campus
will write their final examinations at a selected off-campus examination site close to
where they live. For further information, please contact Open Learning and Educational
Support, 519-767-5000.
5. Students must be seated on entering the examination hall. Until at least 1 hour after

7. No book, paper, or other aids shall be used during the examination except by
permission of the instructor-in-charge. Students shall dispose of their bags and
knapsacks by placing them on the floor beneath their chairs, and any books not
classified as permissible aids shall be placed along the sides of the room.
VIII. Undergraduate Degree Regulations and Procedures, Examinations

8. Cell phones and pagers must be switched off and stored out of sight.
9. If provided, students must complete the examination attendance card at the beginning
of the examination and place it beside their University of Guelph identification card
at the front of the table. The attendance card will be signed at the time of collection.
10. Candidates shall not communicate with one another by writing, by signs, by words,
or in any manner whatsoever while examinations are proceeding.
11. Students who have completed the examination will be allowed to leave their seats
after the first hour has elapsed and after their examination books have been collected.
To minimize the disturbance to students who have not yet completed their
examinations, no student shall leave the examination hall during the last 15 minutes
of the examination. At the conclusion of the examination period, students must remain
seated until all papers have been collected and they are dismissed by the
instructor-in-charge or, in the Athletic Centre, the Chief Invigilator.
12. When more than one book is handed in, students shall number each book and indicate
on the cover of the first book the total number of books used.
13. No writing within the answer book or completion of computer answer sheets is
permitted after the instruction to stop writing has been given. The instructor-in-charge
may refuse to accept the paper of any candidate who fails to observe this time limit.
The Final Examination Timetable, prepared by Scheduling Services is based on student
course selections on file at the end of October (for Winter), March (for Summer), and
July (for Fall). (Please note that for courses in which no students have registered by the
time the data is downloaded, examinations cannot be centrally scheduled.) In the unusual
circumstance that scheduling of final examinations by the Office of Registrarial Services
results in an examination conflict for a student, the Examinations Coordinator in
Scheduling, ORS, will contact the student, the course instructors on record, the relevant
departmental examination coordinators and Program Counselor by electronic mail.
Instructors will be asked to schedule an alternate examination time within the examination
period for the student. Program Counselors and Scheduling will provide support to the
instructors in determining an appropriate time for the re-scheduled examination. Resolution
of the conflict will take place before the end of the Add period for the semester.
Final Examination Timetables are made available for Fall Semester by mid-August, for
Winter Semester by mid-December, and for Summer Semester by mid-April. Once
Examination Timetables are published, students must ensure that they do not create
examination conflicts for themselves when adding courses in subsequent Add periods.
For further information, see Students Responsibilities above. Other responsibilities of
the Examinations Coordinator include:
1. Distributing the Final Exam Request Form from Scheduling, to Chairs/Directors
or designate approximately six weeks prior to the semester to which it applies and
specifying a due date.
2. Approximately 6 weeks prior to the start of final examinations, distributing to
Chair/Director or designate a request for final examination room requirement

preparing, distributing to Chairs/Directors and making available to
instructors-in-charge in the Athletic Centre, a set of guidelines for the
instructor-in-charge and invigilators which will assist them in carrying out their
duties in the examination rooms
Policy on Student Access to Final Examination Materials

Final examination papers and final assignments are to be retained by faculty members for
a period of one semester.
Printed or written materials directly related to examinations conducted in the final
examination time period published in the Undergraduate Calendar, or related to final
assignments shall be made available to a student, upon submission of a written request to
the department chair. The request shall be submitted by the fifth class day of the next
semester.
VIII. Undergraduate Degree Regulations and Procedures, Exchange Programs

Printed or written materials to be made available include the examination question paper,
the marking scheme keyed to desired responses to questions, where appropriate; the
student's response to the examination questions; and records taken by examiners during
oral or any other examination. Faculty members are encouraged to discuss openly with
the student any questions raised. The department chair will make the necessary
arrangements for student access to the material. When a large number of requests are
received in connection with a specific course or when a faculty member is on leave it may
be necessary for the department chair to delay access and make special arrangements,
e.g., the posting of the marking scheme on a bulletin board, the scheduling of a special
meeting at which the faculty member will review the examination, etc.
Exchange Programs
Exchange programs between the University of Guelph and other institutions are defined
by the terms of formal exchange agreements. A copy of each agreement must be approved
by the Associate Vice-President (Academic) and registered with the Associate Registrar,
Enrolment Services.
Students participating in exchange programs pay full-time tuition fees at their home
university, but select their courses at the university they will be visiting. The grades are
recorded there and forwarded to the home institution at the end of the semester or academic
year. Each institution participating in an exchange program designates a co-ordinator who
will be responsible for arranging the details of the exchange. Students are advised not to
leave on exchange without the written approval of the receiving university.
Students must pay their full-time fees and select their courses prior to leaving on exchange.
"Exchange Program Course Selection Request" forms are available at the Centre for
International Programs (C.I.P.) Office or from Enrolment Services, Office of Registrarial
Services. Details on specific exchange programs can be found in Section V--International
Study.
Courses taken on exchange will appear on the transcript as non-specific University of
Guelph courses and will be graded using the Outstanding/Pass/Fail format. Grades will
be determined by the Study Abroad Manager using an official transcript submitted by the
host institution.
Informal exchange programs where a formal agreement does not exist must be conducted
by means of a letter of permission and tuition fees will be paid to the receiving institution
(refer to Section VI--Schedule of Fees).
Failed Courses
In general, a student who is eligible for continuation of study in the program but has failed
to gain standing in one or more of the courses attempted will be required to repeat the
course(s) or take an alternative credit. Note: that a failed course attempt remains on the
student record even if the course has been repeated successfully. However, the University
recognizes that there may be cases where it is unreasonable for the student to repeat the
course to make up for the lost credit.
Therefore, the Academic Review Sub-Committee may, if appropriate and feasible, and
only under special circumstances, allow a student the opportunity to gain credit for a failed
course by granting a supplemental privilege.
The Academic Review Sub-Committees will consider granting a supplemental privilege
in the following special circumstances:
1. the course is failed in the graduating semester (if a supplemental privilege is granted
and successfully completed, convocation will most likely be deferred until the
following semester);
2. the failed course is not available to the student within the following three semesters,
or within a time period that includes the graduating semester;
3. the course is of such a nature that there is no permissible substitute or alternative
available to the student within the following three semesters, or within a time period
that includes the graduating semester; or
4. the course is a required two-semester course that cannot be taken and completed
within the following three semesters, or within a time period that includes the
graduating semester.
The original failing grade will remain on the student's academic record. A notation of "P"
or "F" will be shown beside the original failing grade to show that a supplemental privilege
was granted and whether the outcome resulted in credit (P) or not (F).
Multiple Failure Limitations

Students should note that some programs limit the number of times a student may repeat
failed courses. A student may not be permitted to continue in his/her major and/or program
should they fail the same course, or its equivalent, multiple times. Multiple failure
limitations are noted in Program Requirements by Degree Program in Chapter X--Degree
Programs.
Grades
Grading System
Two-semester courses constitute two course attempts and will appear as such on the
student academic record. These courses are indivisible and the same grade will apply for
each attempt. A refined grading system was approved by Senate on May 21, 1991 effective
Spring 1992 as follows:
41
Grading System
Letter Grade
Percentage
A+
90-100
85-89
A-
80-84
B+
77-79
73-76

63-66
C-
60-62
D+
57-59
53-56

0-49
Courses taken on exchange are graded using the Outstanding /Pass /Fail alternate grading
system (refer to Exchanges, Section V--Special Study Opportunities; Exchanges). In
addition, selected University of Guelph courses, approved by the Board of Undergraduate
Studies, will use this alternate grading system.

Grading Procedures
Feedback to students on work completed or in progress is an integral part of teaching and
learning in that it allows students to measure their understanding of material and their
progress on learning objectives. Feedback often goes beyond grading-an indication of the
standard achieved-to include comments on the particular strengths and weaknesses of a
student's performance. While the nature and frequency of such feedback will vary with
the course, the University of Guelph is committed to providing students with appropriate
and timely feedback on their work. Instructors must provide meaningful and constructive
feedback prior to the 40th class day. This may include but is not exclusive to returning
papers, assignments, in-class or laboratory quizzes, laboratory reports, or mid-term
examinations prior to the 40th class day. In research and independent study courses,
instructors must provide students with a realistic idea of their performance by discussing
progress directly with the student and, if necessary, identify specific areas for improvement.
This may include the assessment of a research plan, literature review, annotated
bibliography, oral presentation or other assessment tools.
Resolution 1
That the assignment of grades at the University of Guelph be based on clearly defined
standards, which are to be published in the Undergraduate Calendar for the benefit of
faculty and students and that the definitions for each of the numerical grade range (letter
grades) be as follows:
42
VIII. Undergraduate Degree Regulations and Procedures, Grades

80 - 100 (A) Excellent. An outstanding performance in which the student demonstrates
a superior grasp of the subject matter, and an ability to go beyond the given material
in a critical and constructive manner. The student demonstrates a high degree of
creative and/or logical thinking, a superior ability to organize, to analyze, and to
integrate ideas, and a thorough familiarity with the appropriate literature and
techniques.
70 - 79 (B) Good. A more than adequate performance in which the student
demonstrates a thorough grasp of the subject matter, and an ability to organize and
examine the material in a critical and constructive manner. The student demonstrates
a good understanding of the relevant issues and a familiarity with the appropriate
literature and techniques.
60 - 69 (C) Acceptable. An adequate performance in which the student demonstrates
a generally adequate grasp of the subject matter and a moderate ability to examine
the material in a critical and constructive manner. The student displays an adequate
understanding of the relevant issues, and a general familiarity with the appropriate
literature and techniques.
50 - 59 (D) Minimally Acceptable. A barely adequate performance in which the
student demonstrates a familiarity with the subject matter, but whose attempts to
examine the material in a critical and constructive manner are only partially successful.
The student displays some understanding of the relevant issues, and some familiarity
with the appropriate literature and techniques.
0 - 49 (F) Fail. An inadequate performance.
Resolution 2
That instructors must use evaluation criteria which measure quality of performance and
not merely activity. Unannounced evaluations or surprise assessments may not be used
for course assessment purposes or to determine course grades.
Resolution 3
That instructors are not to use predetermined, arbitrary distributions in the assignment of
grades in individual courses.
Resolution 4
Part A
That, by the start of the course selection period for the semester in which the course will
be offered, instructors will provide a course description for posting to the department web
site. This course description shall include a brief summary of the course topics and
requirements, the general format of the course, and the methods of evaluation.
Part B
That, by the first class meeting of the course (by the end of the first week of classes for
distance education courses), the instructor must provide students with a written course
outline. The course outline may be distributed either a) in class or b) electronically via
the official course website on CourseLink and must include a detailed description of
course requirements, the methods of evaluation, and the timing of the evaluations.
Resolution 5
That the methods and/or timing of evaluation as indicated on the course outline should
not be changed after the first class meeting except under strictly adhered to conditions.
Notice of proposed change and of the class at which consent is to be sought, must be given
at a previously scheduled class. Where the change is supported by the instructor and is
consistent with University policies and procedures such change may be enacted with the
unanimous consent of students. If unanimous consent of the students has not been obtained,
the change may be enacted only with the approval of the chair of the department and only
if alternative and equitable accommodation is available to students opposed to the change.
Resolution 6
That all term tests, assignments, laboratory reports, etc., should be returned to, or discussed
with students, without undue delay and in any case before the last day of the examination
period. If the material is necessary for the preparation of the final examination, it must
be returned or discussed as soon as possible and in any case no later than three days before
the examination.
Resolution 7
It is recognized that multiple sections of the same course may differ in terms of texts and
other academic resource materials, teaching methods and formats, and evaluation
procedures used. However, the department is responsible for ensuring that the different
sections are achieving common learning objectives with a common set of academic
standards and expectations. The department chair is responsible for ensuring the consistency
of final grade distribution across sections over time. Where a course has more than one
section writing a final examination, the examination date and time will be the same for
all sections.
Department also refers to schools and to colleges (where multiple section courses are
offered by, or coordinated by the Office of a College Dean).
Resolution 9
That normally all courses at the 1000 and 2000 levels shall have final examinations and
that exceptions require the approval of the Chair of the Department.
The Board of Undergraduate Studies has by formal resolution undertaken to do as follows:
to specify clearly the administrative responsibility of chairs with respect to the methods
of evaluation, the setting of examinations and the determining of grades in courses
in their departments.
to review the effects of the pass by course system on the academic standards of the
University.
to request each program to review its overall academic standards and, in particular,
its requirements for graduation.
to examine whether the prerequisites at the secondary school level required for
admission to the University of Guelph are adequate.
from time to time, to review and monitor the academic standards across the University
to ensure that there is consistency and that the regulations of the University are being
adhered to.
Resolution 10
Senate resolved on June 21, 1977 that in determining grades for written assignments the
instructor should take into consideration the student's ability to use correctly and effectively
the language appropriate to the assignment.
Resolution 11
Senate resolved on March 21, 1978 that the chair should review, prior to the
commencement of classes, the manner in which a faculty member intends to conduct a
course and to determine final grades. If the chair disagrees with the faculty member's
intention or subsequently with the implementation of the stated intentions, the chair will
discuss his/her concerns with the faculty member. If agreement cannot be reached, the
matter will be referred to an appropriate department committee which will advise the chair
in reaching his/her decision. The advice may include a recommendation on examination
procedures.
Submission of Final Grades

General Information
Enrolment Services, Office of Registrarial Services, distributes the "Grades Due Report"
forms to the departments one week prior to the examinations period for the semester. The
"Grades Due Report" specifies the deadline date for submission of grades to Enrolment
Services, Office of Registrarial Services.
The instructor (department) is to retain all final examination papers and term assessments
not returned to students for a period of one semester. The "Grades Due Report" form
distributed by Enrolment Services, Office of Registrarial Services, will carry the due date
for grades for each course section. The due dates are established in accordance with the
regulations of the Senate.
Grades must be submitted to Enrolment Services by the deadline stated on the "Grades
Due Report". The early submission of grades will assist in their processing. Grades that
are not received prior to the release of student grades are reported as "MNR" (mark not
received).
Class lists are updated regularly on the Class List Web-site for departmental download.
Lists downloaded from the Class List Web-site list all officially registered students in a
class. The department must explain any changes to the list, e.g., in the case of:
1. A student whose name is not on the list, but who has been attending class.
2. A student whose name appears on the list, but for whom the instructor has no record.
Instructors must not grant an extension of time to any student beyond the final date
for submission of grades for that course. Instructors must report students who do
not satisfy course requirements by assigning a grade of "INC" and noting incomplete
work on an Incomplete Coursework Form.
Incomplete Coursework Form

Instructors should only submit grades for students who have completed their final work
for a course. If a student does not complete a final examination or final assignment,
the instructor must enter "INC" (incomplete) on the "Grade Report" form and
complete an Incomplete Coursework Form for the student. The Incomplete Coursework
Form is available from the chair of the department. Departments must submit the
Incomplete Coursework Form(s) along with the "Grade Report" form to Enrolment
Services, Office of Registrarial Services. The Academic Review Sub-Committee will
contact the faculty and/or department chairs at the time of meetings if this procedure is
not followed. The Incomplete Coursework Form assists the members of the Academic
Review Sub-Committee in making their decision. The instructor must complete all sections
of the form for each student reported.
Resolution 8
That each department must keep under continual review its grading procedures and matters
that relate to academic standards to make sure the University's policies are being applied.
VIII. Undergraduate Degree Regulations and Procedures, Grade Reassessment
Students must have all final assignments completed and submitted to instructors by the
deadline dates indicated in the course outline. Instructors cannot grant extensions beyond
the deadline for submission of grades. Students who are unable to satisfy the submission
deadlines established by the instructor and who wish special consideration for medical,
psychological or compassionate reasons should request academic consideration (refer to
Academic Consideration and Appeals).
Department Chair's Responsibilities

The chair of the department signs student grades in the designated area on the "Grade
Report" form. The department chair's signature indicates that he/she believes that the
grades for that course adhere to the academic regulations of Senate.
If the chair has reason to believe that the academic regulations of Senate have not been
adhered to, he/she will consult with the faculty member and, if necessary, the college
dean. If the chair, after such consultation, still believes that the academic regulations of
Senate have not been adhered to, he/she must submit the grades without approval through
the college dean to the Provost and Vice-President (Academic). The grades must be
accompanied by a complete report. The Provost and Vice-President (Academic) will act
to ensure that the academic regulations of Senate are adhered to.
The department chair should be available for consultation during the meetings of the
Academic Review Sub-Committees.
The Board of Undergraduate Studies strongly encourages each chair, at his/her discretion,
to conduct a periodic review of the methods of assessment, class averages, distribution
of grades and failure rates in courses offered by that department to ensure that grade abuse
does not occur (refer to Final Grades).

The program counsellor reviews the list of "INC" (incomplete) courses, matching medical
documentation, requests for academic consideration, and counselling files (refer to Deferred
Privileges). The program counsellor in conjunction with the Academic Review
Sub-Committee assigns deferred privileges where appropriate and forwards decisions to
Enrolment Services, Office of Registrarial Services.
Enrolment Services records the examination results; notifies students of their grades via
WebAdvisor; notifies program counsellors of incomplete grades; and records deferred
privilege decisions (refer to Deferred Privileges).
Release of Final Grades

University grades are official on the day that they are issued to students. It is the
responsibility of the Office of Registrarial Services to release the grades to the student
and to record the grades on the student's official University transcript.
All grades are available through WebAdvisor. Students who require an official copy of
their grade report can request an official transcript upon payment of the transcript fee.
Grades for students who have been advised by Student Financial Services, Office of
Registrarial Services, that they are on academic sanction will not be released by Enrolment
Services until notification/authorization is received indicating that the account has been
cleared to the satisfaction of Student Financial Services. To receive grades, students must
clear their sanction by the last day of classes.
Students who are required to withdraw will be notified at their mailing address.
Summer Session grades are released approximately two weeks after the conclusion of
examinations. The grades and the continuation of study status are considered to be
unofficial until the end of the Summer Semester.
Grade Reassessment
Grade re-assessment is the process of reviewing the calculation of grades, or the methods
and criteria used to establish final grades for a student in a course or misapplication of an
academic regulation. The outcome of a grade re-assessment may be a grade increase, a
grade decrease, or no change to the grade. The detection of errors or omissions in the
calculation of final grades will result in the assignment of a revised grade. Students
normally initiate grade re-assessments, but instructors may initiate this process. However,
instructors must NOT use the grade re-assessment process to:
grant extensions for submission of work beyond course grade submission deadline
(see Academic Consideration, Appeals and Petitions)
change the student's continuation of study status
improve the student's program or specialization average
submit late grades (see Final Grades)
Calculation Errors or Omissions

Students who believe there have been errors or omissions in the calculation of their final
grade for a course may request a grade reassessment. They must submit a request in writing
to the chair of the department offering the course no later than the 10th class day of the
subsequent semester. The request must pertain to work completed during the semester.
Students must also submit relevant assignments or tests that have been returned to them.
43
The chair shall forward the student's request to the instructor and the instructor shall
respond to the chair within five class days. The instructor has the responsibility of ensuring
that the calculation and totalling of marks is accurate. The instructor must reply to the
chair, in writing, giving assurance that the review is complete.
Where there is a change in the grade, the chair signs the "Grade Reassessment" form and
forwards it to Enrolment Services, Office of Registrarial Services. The Office of
Registrarial Services will advise the student in writing of the change of grade. If there is
no change to the grade, it is the chair's responsibility to inform the student in writing.
Methods or Criteria Used in Establishing Final Grades

The course outline distributed to the class at the beginning of the semester defines the
methods and criteria used in establishing final grades for a course. The methods and
criteria must conform to the grading procedures established by Senate and be continually
reviewed by the department (see Final Grades).
Students who believe that the methods or criteria used by an instructor in determining a
final grade have been unfair, unreasonable or inconsistent with the course outline, should
request the chair of the department offering the course to review the methods or criteria
used. They should submit the request in writing by the 10th class day of the subsequent
semester and should state the reasons for the request.
The chair shall make an effort to resolve the matter to the satisfaction of both parties as
soon as possible. Both the instructor and the chair are free to discuss the student's work
with the student or another instructor in the department, but are not obliged to do so.
If both parties are able to come to an agreement, the chair shall prepare a statement of the
agreement to be signed by both parties. If the agreement results in a change to the grade
of the student, the chair shall inform Enrolment Services, Office of Registrarial Services.
If at any time the chair decides that he/she cannot resolve the matter informally, he/she
will terminate all efforts at reconciliation and notify both the student and the instructor
of this decision. The chair will advise the student to make an appeal to the Senate
Committee on Student Petitions. The student must appeal to the committee within 10
working days of being advised of the termination of the chair's efforts.
Misapplication of an Academic Regulation or Procedure

Academic regulations and procedures pertaining to grades can be found in the subsection
of the "Grades" section entitled "Grading Procedures". Students who believe that the
misapplication of an academic regulation or procedure has affected their final grade in a
course should discuss their concern with the instructor. If the concern is not resolved to
their satisfaction they may submit a complaint in writing to the chair of the department
offering the course.
If the chair has reason to believe that the instructor has not adhered to the grading
procedures established by Senate (see Final Grades) or other academic regulations of
Senate, the chair should consult with the faculty member and, if necessary, the college
dean. Ultimately, the Provost and Vice President (Academic) may have to take the
necessary action to ensure compliance with the academic regulations of Senate.
Graduate Courses
Graduate courses taken by undergraduate students will not normally be credited to a
graduate program at the University of Guelph.
If the graduate course is used for credit toward any undergraduate program requirement,
it cannot be considered subsequently for credit toward a graduate degree at the University.
Undergraduate courses taken while registered in the Faculty of Graduate Studies cannot
be used toward a baccalaureate degree program.
Graduation
A. Baccalaureate Programs
A student normally must be registered as a degree student in the program for the degree
being awarded. However, a student registered in an honours program may apply to graduate
from a general program in the same degree or a different degree, provided that all of the
conditions for graduation for that degree have been satisfied using the calendar that is in
effect at the time of application. A student with a non-degree program type is not considered
for graduation; however, the student should check with his/her program counsellor for
information.
Up to 50% of the requirements for a degree-credit certificate can be applied towards a
degree program specialization in order to hold both a degree with a specialization and a
specialized certificate.
1. Program and Calendar Requirements

The conditions for graduation are regulated by the degree programs. Program specific
conditions for graduation are outlined in Section X--Undergraduate Degree Programs.
Students must satisfy the schedule of studies requirements for the calendar
(http://www.uoguelph.ca/undergrad_calendar/) in effect at the time of their last admission
to the program or at the time of any subsequent change in majors or areas of concentration.
Where students select minors or areas of emphasis, the calendar used to determine the
schedule of studies is the same as the calendar used for the major. Changes in minors or
areas of emphasis do not necessarily affect the calendar used to determine the schedule
of studies. Students may declare a schedule of studies from an alternate calendar if program
approval is obtained.
44
VIII. Undergraduate Degree Regulations and Procedures, Letters of Confirmation of Enrolment
Students who are on suspension for academic misconduct will not be permitted to graduate
during the period of the suspension.
2. Academic Residence Requirements

i. At least 5.00 of the credits required for graduation by the student's program must be
taken at the University of Guelph.
ii. At least 60% of the 3000 and 4000 level courses required for graduation must be
University of Guelph courses include courses taken on exchange and on study abroad
programs, and Open Learning program courses (degree credit weight). Letter of permission
courses are not included.
3. Honours Equivalent
Students from the University of Guelph or another university may upgrade a degree from
the general program to the honours program to obtain an Honours Equivalent recognition.
Students may also upgrade a degree from the honours program by the completion of an
additional specialization to qualify for the Honours Equivalent recognition. These students
must be readmitted to an honours equivalent program. All previous University of Guelph
credits are eligible for consideration toward the equivalent degree from the honours
program.
To be granted an Honours Equivalent, students must satisfy the University of Guelph
residence requirements. In addition, students must satisfy the conditions for graduation
for the specified honours program using the calendar that is in effect at the time of
admission into the honours equivalent program. Normally, all degree program regulations
will apply to the Honours Equivalent specialization.
The students who are granted the Honours Equivalent designation do not participate in a
convocation program, but have the designation shown on their transcript and may receive
a new degree parchment upon application, subject to surrender of the original degree
parchment and payment of the appropriate fee. Note, parchment replacement applies to
Guelph graduates only.
4. Second Degrees
Students from the University of Guelph or from another university may graduate with a
second undergraduate degree from the University of Guelph, under the following
conditions:
a. Students who have graduated with their first degree must apply to the University of
Guelph for admission to the second degree program. A maximum of 10.00 credits
may be transferred from the initial degree program.
b. In-course University of Guelph students may apply to graduate with two degrees at
the same convocation. A maximum of 10.00 credits may be transferred from the
declared program to the undeclared program.
In a) and b), the course content of the second degree program must be substantially different
from that of the first. A second degree is judged to be substantially different if:
The specializations are in different subject areas as listed in Section XII--Course
Descriptions; or
The schedule of studies requirements are substantially different (no more than 25%
overlap). This rule is also applicable to different subject areas within the same degree
program, allowing, for example, a second B.A. or B.Sc. degree to be awarded as long
as the criteria are met.
B. Certificate and Diploma Programs

To be granted a Certificate or Diploma, the conditions outlined in Section XI--Certificates
and Diplomas must be satisfied using the calendar that is in effect at the time of admission
to the General Studies program or the Non-Degree category, or at the time of declaration
of the Certificate or Diploma. Students who are granted a Certificate or Diploma do not
convocate, but have the designation shown on their transcript.
C. Procedures
A student must submit a formal application in order to be considered as a candidate for
a degree or diploma at a specific convocation. There are three convocation periods
throughout the year-- early October, mid-February, and early June. An application for
graduation must be submitted by the student no later than the deadline for the specific
convocation period as specified in Section III--Schedule of Dates.. Late applications will
be accepted with the submission of a late fee (refer to Section VI--Schedule of Fees).
Following submission of the application to graduate, the student will receive confirmation
of the application, along with information on subsequent procedures. An additional late
fee will be assessed in those cases where changes are requested by the student after the
deadline date as this will affect the printing of the degree/diploma parchment.
Although the Office of Registrarial Services will attempt to send an e-mail to every
potential graduate inviting them to apply to graduate via WebAdvisor for Students (My
Application for Graduation), it is the student's responsibility to ensure that they submit
their application for graduation by the published deadline dates in Section III - Schedule
of Dates. Specific applications details are as follows:
Application for a Certificate or Diploma

A student who is registered in the General Studies program or the non-degree program
and who expects to complete the requirements as set down in Section XI of the calendar
for one of the certificate or diploma programs, should contact the Open Learning and
Educational Support.
Application for Graduation from Degree Programs

An e-mail inviting students to apply to graduate via Web-Advisor for students (My
Application for Graduation) will be sent to each student registered in a general degree
program when his/her completed plus in progress credits equal 15.00 credits or more; and
to students registered in an honours degree program when their completed plus in progress
credits equal 20.00 credits or more. All other students with an active academic program
who wish to apply to graduate may access 'My Application for Graduation' on WebAdvisor
for Students.
Students who are not currently active students must submit a hard-copy Application for
Graduation form, accompanied by the appropriate fee. This application form and
instructions for the completion of the application are available at http://www.uoguelph.ca/
regweb/publications/index.shtml.
It is the responsibility of the student to submit the completed form prior to the published
deadline date.
Application for Honours Equivalent

A student who is registered in an honours equivalent program who expects to complete
the requirements as set down in the calendar for one of the honours programs, should
submit an "Application for Completion of Honours Equivalent" form available from the
Convocation Coordinator, Enrolment Services, Office of Registrarial Services. The same
deadlines for applications to graduate apply to the applications for honours equivalent.
Chair's Responsibilities
The department chair receives both the Academic Evaluations for all students who have
applied for a degree with a specialization administered by that department and a listing
of those students. The department chair (or designate) must review these records to
determine if each student has satisfied:
1. general University requirements,
2. overall program requirements and
3. specialization requirements.
Each check is to be reported on the form supplied, and the form is to be forwarded to the
program counsellor by the date specified on the accompanying memorandum. If an
applicant satisfies the requirements for the degree, or diploma sought, Registrarial Services
will report the name of the student to the Assistant Vice-President (IRP) & Registrar. If
an applicant fails to satisfy any requirement(s), Registrarial Services will inform the
student of that decision.
Enrolment Services, Office of Registrarial Services initiates an "Application for
Graduation" process for the appropriate group of regular and special students.
Enrolment Services processes those applications received prior to the deadline and forwards
a confirmation of both the receipt of the application and the information supplied by the
student and advises students of the date and time of the convocation ceremonies.
Enrolment Services forwards Academic Evaluation and check sheets to department chairs
to obtain decisions on eligibility of the applicants. Enrolment Services informs students
not approved by the departments of the rejection and the reasons for it.
The Convocation Coordinator will present a list of all recommended graduands to the
Assistant Vice-President (IRP) & Registrar for approval.
D. Standing on Graduation
Standing on graduation is noted on the transcript for graduates as follows:
Degree with Distinction - Cumulative average of 80% or higher.
Degree with Honours - Cumulative average of 70-79%.
Degree with Standing - Cumulative average of less than 70%.
Standing is only based on the internal University of Guelph academic record. For the
DVM Program standing on graduation is based on the average of the marks received for
those courses completed after admission to the program. Graduation standing is noted on
the student's official transcript after graduation has taken place. The standing is not printed
on the student's parchment.
E. Notation on Transcript
Official transcripts from the University of Guelph will not show that a degree has been
conferred until after the convocation.
Letters of Confirmation of Enrolment

A student who requires a letter confirming attendance at the University in a given semester
should make this request to Enrolment Services, Office of Registrarial Services.
Letters of Confirmation of Graduation

A students who requires a letter confirming graduation from the University should make
this request to the Convocation Clerk, Enrolment Services, Office of Registrarial Services.
VIII. Undergraduate Degree Regulations and Procedures, Letters of Permission
Letters of Permission
A student at the University of Guelph who wishes to enrol in a course for credit at another
institution and have that course considered as a credit toward a University of Guelph
degree must complete a "Request for Letter of Permission" form and obtain the appropriate
approvals as indicated on the request form, prior to applying for admission to the other
institution. The form is available in program counselling offices, at Enrolment Services
and online at https://www.uoguelph.ca/registrar/downloads
Credit for successful completion of such courses will be granted at the University of
Guelph if an appropriately-completed and signed Request for Letter of Permission form
has been presented to the Office of Registrarial Services, Enrolment Services prior to the
student's enrolment at the other institution. A student taking a course on a Letter of
Permission is responsible for ensuring that the other institution forwards the official
transcripts directly to Enrolment Services, Office of Registrarial Services. If the transcript
for the course taken on a Letter of Permission is not received by the 20th class day of the
semester following completion of the course, a grade of "F" will be entered on the student's
internal academic record.
Students are required to complete the courses specified on the Request for Letter of
Permission form during the semester(s) specified on the form. If the student registers in
additional semesters or courses that are not approved by the University of Guelph, the
student may need to apply for readmission. The student should speak with their program
counsellor should they find themselves in this situation.
Withdrawals or non-registration in courses taken on a Letter of Permission must be verified
by official documentation from the other institution. Any changes in the courses taken
must have the appropriate program counsellor approval from the University of Guelph.
All courses for which Letters of Permission have been granted will be included in all the
students internal academic records. The specific courses will not be listed on the official
transcript of the University of Guelph but the name of the host institution and the total
number of credits taken will be listed. Note that courses taken on Letter of Permission for
which a grade of F has been either assigned or achieved will be listed as 0.00 credit.
Courses taken on a Letter of Permission will not count in the students semester average
or the students cumulative average.
Students do not normally qualify for a letter of permission in the final semester of
their degree program.
Caution: when selecting courses to take on Letter of Permission you should be aware that
you may not be able to get into the courses selected. For instance, courses may be full,
may have been removed from the schedule, or may conflict with other courses. For this
reason, you are encouraged to select more courses than needed but indicate clearly on
the Request for Letter of Permission form the number of courses that will be taken. If you
need to take a course not listed on the form, you should make every effort to contact your
program counsellor in advance of registering in another course in order to obtain approval
for the equivalent credit. Departments reserve the right to deny credit equivalency to a
course taken without prior approval.
Priority Access Courses

In cases where enrolment demand habitually exceeds course capacity and there is
demonstrated need to restrict access to a particular cohort of students on a priority basis,
departments may request the implementation of course restriction rules to ensure priority
access to the appropriate student group(s) during the course selection process. The system
will provide a message at the time of course selection for students who do not meet the
enrolment criteria. In special cases the department may override the restriction by
authorizing entry to the course with a signature on a "Course Waiver Request" form using
the "Course Restriction Waiver" box.
Departmental requests for course restriction rules must be directed to the Co-ordinator of
Undergraduate Curriculum who will determine if the request is acceptable and will then
work with the department or school to develop the appropriate enrolment criteria and
confirm that the restriction can be monitored. In general, course restrictions should be
clearly defined in the calendar course listings so that students are advised in advance of
the intended audience for the course.
New restrictions or changes to existing restrictions must be approved prior to the course
selection period in which they are to be implemented.

Prior Learning Assessment (P.L.A.) is a mechanism whereby students who have acquired
substantial experience in a non-traditional environment have an opportunity to challenge
whether such learning is equivalent to a course(s) offered at the University. Note: P.L.A.
will only be available to a student if sufficient evidence is provided that the course material
was acquired outside a degree program at a University. A request to challenge a course
that has already been attempted at university will not normally be granted.
45
P.L.A. is not open to students who simply wish to challenge a course. Students will be
required to sign a contract stating that the learning occurred other than in a university
course. Not all courses are appropriate for challenge. Each department has the responsibility
of determining which of its courses may be subject to a P.L.A. challenge. The challenge
process could include one or more assessment methods, including standardized tests,
written and/or oral examinations, performance evaluations, interviews, and portfolio
assessment. All these assessments require that the individual demonstrate, to a qualified
faculty member(s), that pre-determined knowledge and skills have been acquired.
The maximum number of credits a student can challenge is 5.00 for degree programs, or
30% of the certificate requirement for open learners. Credits acquired through P.L.A. will
be assigned credit status (CRD) and will be on the official transcript.
Students wishing to challenge a course(s) should contact Enrolment Services to obtain an
application form. A request must include a clear statement as to the course(s) the student
wishes to challenge, an explanation of how the knowledge necessary for the course was
gained, and any relevant supporting documentation to validate the claim. Requests will
be forwarded to the appropriate department(s) for evaluation. Upon receipt of the response
from all the departments concerned, Enrolment Services will inform the student which,
if any, courses have been approved for challenge.
If a challenge has been granted, the department will determine the nature of the assessment
and the deadline by which time the work must be complete. It is the student's responsibility
to contact the department with respect to the details of the assessment within three weeks
of being informed by Enrolment Services of being granted the privilege. Upon completion
of the assigned task(s), the department will inform the Office of Registrarial Services as
to the student's success or failure of the challenge.
Those students (a) whose application for a challenge is reviewed by the faculty members
of the department concerned, and who are subsequently denied the opportunity to challenge,
or (b) who fail a challenge examination, may appeal the decision first to the chair of the
department, and subsequently, if necessary, to the dean of the college.
Chapter VI Schedule of Fees - outlines the applicable fees for Prior Learning Assessment.
Readmission
Previously registered students must apply to Admission Services for readmission under
any of the following conditions:
1. If they were required to withdraw from their program for a period of two or more
semesters.
2. If they were suspended from the University for academic misconduct.
3. If they have graduated from this University and wish to register in order to take
additional courses.
4. If they registered in a program at another post-secondary institution and wish to return
to the University of Guelph.
5. If they have not registered at the University of Guelph for six or more consecutive
semesters.
6. If they are attending the University of Guelph on a letter of permission and wish to
continue past the term of the letter of permission agreement.
minimum two semesters of rustication. Students should consult Section IV - Admission
Information regarding appropriate admission requirements and deadline dates.
Applications for readmission should include a statement which outlines the basis for
readmission. Criteria used for readmission may differ by academic program. Students
considering readmission should consult with the appropriate program counsellor regarding
procedures and criteria for readmission to that program.
Students requiring readmission must apply to Admission Services, Office of Registrarial
Services, University Centre, Level 3. Applications for readmission must be submitted by
the deadline date established for each semester (see Section III--Schedule of Dates). An
application fee is payable at the time the application is submitted (see Section VI--Schedule
of Fees).
On December 19, 1995, the University Senate approved the following policy for the
granting of credit while on rustication:
1. Students who have been required to withdraw, and who take university credit courses
during their rustication period, will be eligible for up to 1.00 credit provided they
meet the criteria for readmission and the criteria for the transfer of credit. Students
registered for courses through the Open Learning Program, are not permitted to attend
courses on campus.
2. Students who take university courses after the two-semester rustication period may
transfer all these credits provided the student meets the criteria for readmission and
the criteria for the transfer of credit.
3. Students who have been suspended for academic misconduct will not receive any
Note: This policy applies to any university credit course taken during the rustication
period.

VIII. Undergraduate Degree Regulations and Procedures, Registration
Registration
Cancellation/Withdrawal Procedure
A student is considered as registered for a particular semester only when courses to be

attempted for that semester have been reported to the Registrar no later than the end of
the add period and financial arrangements, satisfactory to Student Financial Services,
have been made for the associated tuition and other fees. Coincident with the registration
process, students may complete other business arrangements with the University such as
reporting of address information, residence payments, meal card contracts, parking permits,
and receipt of identification cards. The University reserves the right to disallow registration
until all deferred privileges are complete and the students final standing is calculated.
If a student has made payment arrangements and wishes to cancel their semester registration
before the first day of classes they must drop all their courses via WebAdvisor. If the
student is unable to access WebAdvisor they must send an email, which includes their
student id number, from their @mail.uoguelph.ca account to Office of Registrarial Services,
Enrolment Services at ups@uoguelph.ca asking to have their semester registration
cancelled. The cancelling of the courses prior to the first day of the classes will generate
the appropriate refund.
Students are advised that there is a withdrawal procedure in effect as of the first day of
classes (see Withdrawal). Students will be liable for fees payable in accordance with the
refund schedule (see Section VI--Schedule of Fees regarding Refunds).
Once the payment has been submitted, please do not put a stop payment on your cheque.
This does not constitute cancellation and will only result in a cheque refusal fine being
charged.
In-Course Students
All in-course students must complete the registration procedures prior to the deadline
dates as published in Section III--Schedule of Dates..
While advance billings will be available on WebAdvisor, to students who have
indicated an intention to register in a particular semester, it is the responsibility of
all in-course and returning students to ensure that satisfactory arrangements are
made with Student Financial Services prior to the deadline. Students who have not
received the advance billing should contact Student Financial Services in order to
make payment. Arrangements for registration after the deadline date will be assessed
an additional late registration fee.
Students who are readmitted will be advised of registration procedures. Questions should
be directed to Enrolment Services, Office of Registrarial Services.
Note: In-course students who complete the registration procedures are advised that this
registration is conditional on their eligibility for continuation of study into that semester.
A student who is required to withdraw will not be allowed to attend classes, the registration
will be cancelled and an appropriate adjustment automatically will be applied to the
student's account (see also--Withdrawal). The University reserves the right to disallow
registration until all deferred privileges are complete and the students final standing is
calculated.
The procedure is as follows:
1. Approximately 2-3 weeks before the deadline, a billing statement is available on
WebAdvisor, to students who have selected courses.
2. Students must make payment to Student Financial Services by the deadline. Payments
received after the deadline will be assessed a late registration fee.
General System In-course Students (Fees)

The registration procedure is conducted through WebAdvisor. The registration procedure
will allow all in course students to complete their financial arrangements with Student
Financial Services before the upcoming semester. The billing form will reflect the course
selection data, also your accommodation and meal plan status if available, and is to be
returned with suitable arrangement to Student Financial Services. The deadline for payment
is indicated in Section III--Schedule of Dates., of this calendar. Failure to meet the
deadlines will result in an additional fee adjustment. Mailings by the University will be
made to the University email account, the on-campus P.O. Box, and/or the mailing/home
address per the University's student address policy.
Registration is conditional on being eligible to continue in your program of study. Students
who are required to withdraw will not be allowed to attend classes as their registration
will be cancelled immediately and a full refund of fees will be made as soon as possible.
Students required to withdraw who subsequently are re-admitted or who transfer
to another program or who become eligible to proceed through appeal must report
to Enrolment Services, Office of Registrarial Services to have their registration status
confirmed and add their courses.
Registration may be completed by one of the following methods:
On receipt of payment. DO NOT SEND CASH IN THE MAIL
An approved "Staff Registration and Tuition Waiver Request" form (for qualified
full-time University employees only).
PAYMENTS RECEIVED THROUGH THE MAIL MUST BE POST-MARKED
ON THE DEADLINE DATE OR EARLIER TO AVOID THE ASSESSMENT OF
A LATE REGISTRATION FEE.
Parking Payments
Students wishing to pay for a parking permit are asked to include the appropriate payment
in accordance with the schedule in Section VI--Schedule of Fees with their total payment
submission. Students who comply with this procedure will receive their parking decals
in the mail prior to the commencement of classes.
Changes to Preprinted Calculations

Students who have changed their mind concerning the number of credits they wish to take
are advised to write the correct amount on the billing form. Please refer to the fee schedule
included with your billing form.
Changes to residences calculation, including meal plans, must be cleared through the
Student Housing Services or Hospitality Services.
Hospitality Services, OSAP, Parking

Each of these departments have information which will be distributed to students for the
semester in question under separate cover, e.g. location for picking up meal cards, location
to pick up OSAP grant/loan cheques, procedure to use for payment of parking decals.
Return Mail Box Locations (Internal Mail)

The University has on-campus mail boxes which may be used to return registration
payments. All mail is picked up daily and is post-marked by Mail Services.
Late Registration
Students who do not register by the time designated as the registration deadline for the
semester in question are subject to additional fee adjustments. Exceptions will only be
made for acceptable reasons with documented evidence. The fee schedule for late
registration is published in Section VI--Schedule of Fees. A student will not normally
be allowed to register after the end of the Add period. Appeals against the additional fee
adjustments must be made in writing to the Secretary of the Appeals Committee, by
contacting the Enrolment Services, Office of Registrarial Services within 10 class days
of the commencement of classes. Appeal forms are available from Enrolment Services.
Department Chair's and Dean's Responsibilities (New Student

Registration Only)
In the event that new students will be delayed for registration because of University
sponsored trips or courses the department chair concerned should forward a list of
participating students to the dean/director of the college/school for approval. The approval
list should then be forwarded to the Associate Registrar, Enrolment Services, and specific
procedures for late registration will be arranged.
Research Projects
The University of Guelph is committed to providing undergraduate/ associate diploma
students with opportunities to engage in original research projects, including the opportunity
to engage in independent study options, conducted under the supervision of a faculty
member and involving the student pursuing original research. These projects might take
a range of forms, as appropriate to the students course of study. A student wishing to
pursue an independent research project should consult with the academic advisor for the
program or the coordinator of the course in which the project will be undertaken. The
advisor/coordinator can provide guidance about undertaking these projects including
regulations concerning independent research projects specific to the program and/or
department/ college.
Members of faculty who undertake the supervision of independent research projects
assume the responsibility of ensuring that the project complies with regulations, policies
and procedures. The successful completion of an independent research project often
depends on significant preparation in advance, involving collaboration and agreement
between the student and their supervisor. This includes establishing a description of the
project, and a scheme of grading, as well as deadlines for the submission of work. A
student should plan their project a least a semester before the formal undertaking of the
project.
Further, the instructor and student should ensure that if the project involves the human
participants, or the use of live animals, the project has appropriate approval from the
Research Ethics Board (http://www.uoguelph.ca/research/humanParticipants/), or the
Animal Care Committee (http://www.uoguelph.ca/research/acs/), as appropriate. The
preparation of the documentation required for approval by the Research Ethics Board or
the Animal Care Committee takes several weeks. In accordance with the Canadian Council
on Animal Care, anyone who is handling animals for purposes of teaching or research
must have appropriate training which is provided by the University of Guelph.
When a project involves riskincluding handling dangerous materialsthe supervisor
(and student, as appropriate) should consult with Occupational Health and Safety to ensure
compliance with standards of health and safety.
A student whose independent research project involves international travel must consult
with the staff in the Centre for International Programs (http://www.uoguelph.ca/CIP) to
ensure that they have completed the Universitys mandatory pre-departure orientation in
order to be prepared appropriately to travel outside Canada.
VIII. Undergraduate Degree Regulations and Procedures, Schedule of Studies
Schedule of Studies
If students have not done so upon entering a degree program, they must declare a major
by entry into semester 3 of their degree program. The University monitors the student's
progress toward a degree using both the degree program requirements and the schedule
of studies requirements. Students must satisfy the requirements in effect at the time of the
initial declaration of a schedule of studies or at the time of any subsequent change in
declarations. When degree program requirements or schedules of studies are altered by
the University, a student may elect to satisfy the requirements in effect when the student
entered the degree program, or its equivalent, or a subsequent schedule within a degree
program. Students wishing to alter the schedule used to monitor their progress should
seek assistance from a program counsellor (refer to Section VII - Academic Advising).
Scheduling
Undergraduate Course Timetable
The scheduling of all undergraduate courses is the responsibility of Scheduling Services,
ORS.
The scheduling cycle for each Fall and Winter semester commences approximately one
year in advance. Course scheduling request data is due in Scheduling by the specific dates
to be established in Scheduling each year. The official timetable for each semester is
published on WebAdvisor two weeks prior to the commencement of the initial Course
Selection period for that semester (for Summer and Fall in mid-February, for Winter in
mid-September.)
All courses are scheduled according to the Senate approved slot system which allows for
3 x 1 hour slots meeting at the same time on Monday, Wednesday and Friday, 2 x 1.5
hour slots meeting at the same time on Tuesday and Thursday and 3-hour evening slots
M-F. This basic grid is overlaid with 1x 3 hour slots and slots for other approved class
formats (e.g. 1 x 4 hr) in such a way as to minimize course conflicts and maximize efficient
use of teaching space. Courses may also be published with time TBA. In these cases it
is the responsibility of the department/school to communicate first meeting information
to registered students prior to the commencement of classes. Prior to the commencement
of classes, regular class meeting times may not be assigned to classes published as
TBA. If a department/school wishes to assign times for regular class meetings after the
commencement of classes, registered and (within the Add period) interested students must
be consulted. The times selected for regular class meetings must be unanimously supported
by students in a secret ballot, and comply with all scheduling regulations.
The University scheduling day runs from 0830-1730 and 1900-2200; Senate has approved
the 1730-1900 University Time as a period which shall normally be free of all regular
class meetings, labs, and seminars.
The Chair/Director or the designated Department/School Timetable Coordinator is
responsible for the following:
1. Submitting to Scheduling Services, no later than the established deadline, and as per
Scheduling instructions, complete requests for courses to be offered in the subsequent
academic year.
2. Acting as liaison between instructors and Scheduling on all aspects of scheduling,
including collecting information relevant to course scheduling from instructors,
submitting it appropriately.
3. Ensuring all courses are offered in the semester and format indicated in Section XII
of the Undergraduate Calendar.
4. Approving the departments course schedule before publication. This involves checking
that no conflicts exist in instructor or program schedules.
5. Calculating projected enrollments for the subsequent academic year and monitoring
enrollments through course selection periods, making adjustments to course capacities
and the availability of sections as necessary.
6. Advising Scheduling immediately of changes to instructor assignments. Where late
instructor assignments are necessary, assigning instructors in such a way as to avoid
conflicts.
1. Instructors are responsible for communicating to the Chair/Director or Department
Timetable Coordinator, prior to the deadlines established within their
department/school, any information relevant to the scheduling of courses in the
subsequent academic year.
2. Instructors are expected to familiarize themselves with rooms assigned to their courses
in advance of the commencement of classes.
Scheduling Services, taking into account requests from academic units for preferred class
times, creates the university timetable according to the following priorities:
i. No course conflicts exist in core courses as published in the schedule of studies in
the Undergraduate Calendar.
ii. The number of elective courses available to students is optimized.
47
iii. Classroom space is allocated to courses on the basis of projected enrolments provided
by the offering departments, and in such a way as to maximize the effective and
efficient use of teaching space.
iv. No instructor conflicts exist.
v. Departmental requirements, requested by the Chair/Director or Department Timetable
Coordinator, are met where possible.
vi. Scheduling Services will endeavour to keep the 17:30 19:00 University Time slot
free of regularly scheduled classes, using the slot only as necessary, observing the
guidelines approved by the Board of Undergraduate Studies (January 31, 2013).
Changes to the Published Undergraduate Course Timetable

Additional Hours/Sections
If it becomes necessary to schedule additional sections by adding lectures/labs/seminars
based on course selection numbers, the request for scheduling is to be initiated by the
Chair/Director or Department Timetable Coordinator and made to Scheduling Services.
Cancellations and Time Changes

Once the course timetable has been published on WebAdvisor, requests for changes to
class meeting times cannot be processed except in emergency circumstances and as
approved by the Office of the Associate Vice-President (Academic). To obtain the approval
of the AVPA in such circumstances, to change a class meeting time or to cancel a course,
the Chair/Director should write via electronic mail, providing reasons for the request, to
the Coordinator of the Undergraduate Curriculum (CUC), the appropriate Dean, and the
Assistant Registrar, Scheduling. After the commencement of Course Selection, the
Chair/Director is responsible for ensuring that students are not disadvantaged by any
changes. This involves choosing alternate times that are conflict- free for all registered
students, and communicating via electronic mail to all students the details of any change
affecting their schedules.
Time changes after the publication of the timetable, prior to the commencement
of classes. Changes in scheduled meeting times are approved only in emergency
circumstances (see above).
Time changes after the commencement of classes. After the commencement of
classes, changes to scheduled meeting times are permitted. Changes may be initiated
by the instructor with his/her class, but are normally not made until after the end of
the Course Selection/Add period unless the change is to accommodate students who
would otherwise be unable to register in the course. Time changes made after the
commencement of classes must not create conflicts for any registered students and
must have the unanimous written approval of all registered students as determined
by a secret ballot. New times must comply with University scheduling regulations
and the academic unit offering the course should keep a record of student approval
on file. Once approval is obtained, a request for the time change and new room
assignment should be submitted by the Chair/Director or Department Timetable
Coordinator to Scheduling Services so that the time and room can be updated on
WebAdvisor. The instructor is responsible for ensuring that all registered students
can attend during the new meeting times and for informing students of new times and
room assignments.
Classroom Assignment
Scheduling Services assigns classrooms for regularly scheduled classes in such a way as
to maximize the accommodation of enrollment numbers, access to presentation technology
and other classroom attributes as requested by the offering department, accommodation
of instructor or student disability, and the effective and efficient use of the central classroom
inventory.
The Chair/Director or Department Timetable Coordinator should send requests for the
assignment of alternate teaching space to Scheduling as required by changing enrollment
numbers. Scheduling reassigns classroom space as necessary and as availability permits.
Course enrollment must not exceed the capacity of rooms assigned to courses. Until
additional classroom space can be assigned, additional students are not registered. (In
special circumstances, approval may be granted by the Assistant Registrar, Scheduling
for small classroom overloads as part of an overall enrollment management strategy.)
Instructors requesting classroom changes for other reasons should forward their request
through their Chair/Director or Department Timetable Coordinator to the Scheduling
Reservations Clerk via electronic mail. Note that to ensure that highest priority needs are
met first, and to reduce confusion on campus at the beginning of the semester, Scheduling
cannot accommodate requests for classroom changes in the week preceding the
commencement of classes or the first two weeks of classes. Exceptions are made for 1)
enrollment changes 2) student/instructor disability 3) exceptional circumstances as
approved by the Assistant Registrar, Scheduling. Requests made for other reasons will
be neither accepted nor accommodated during this three-week period.
If classroom space assigned to a course is not required, instructors should inform their
Chair/Director or Department Timetable Coordinator, as soon as possible so that Scheduling
can be advised to free the space for other uses.
If rooms are required only occasionally for classes, they should not be held for full
semesters, rather one-time or temporary bookings should be made through the Scheduling
Reservations Clerk, as below.
48
VIII. Undergraduate Degree Regulations and Procedures, Staff Registration and Tuition Waiver
Other Classroom Bookings

For non-regularly scheduled classes, meetings, academic conferences, tests, etc. classroom
bookings may be made through Scheduling Services by University of Guelph faculty,
staff and students. Please send requests by electronic mail to orsrooms@uoguelph.ca.
Staff Registration and Tuition Waiver

Those staff who are eligible for tuition waiver must complete a "Staff Registration and
Tuition Waiver Request" form and submit it to Human Resources.
It is essential that staff follow the normal procedures for contacting Enrolment
Services, Office of Registrarial Services, Level 3, University Centre, regarding their
selection of courses.
If the "Staff Registration and Tuition Waiver Request" form is not submitted and approved
by Human Resources you will not be officially registered for the term.
In addition to completing the "Staff Registration and Tuition Waiver Request" form, you
also must add your courses using WebAdvisor or submit an "Undergraduate Course
Request" form outlining the course(s) you wish to take. The "Undergraduate Course
Request" form can be submitted during the official course selection periods or during the
"Add" process at the beginning of each semester.
Student Type
Each full-time or part-time student is registered as one of the following:
Regular
A student with student type "Regular" is registered in the regular course requirement for
a program.
Special
A student with student type "Special" is admitted to a program and is required to complete
course or program deficiencies necessary to proceed under the "Regular" student category.
Note: It is the Program Counsellor's responsibility to change a student from "Special" to
"Regular" student type.
Supplemental Privilege (credit for failed courses)

A Supplemental Privilege is the opportunity for a student to obtain credit for a course
he/she has failed by completing additional course requirements as determined by the
instructor. If a supplemental privilege is granted, the original failing grade will remain on
the student's academic record. A notation of "P" or "F" will be shown beside the original
failing grade to show that a supplemental privilege was granted and whether the outcome
resulted in credit (P) or not (F).
The Academic Review Sub-Committees will only consider granting a supplemental
privilege if at least one of the following special circumstances applies:
1. the course is failed in the graduating semester (if a supplemental privilege is granted
and successfully completed, convocation will most likely be deferred until the
following semester);
2. the failed course is not available to the student within the following three semesters,
or within a time period that includes the graduating semester;
3. the course is of such a nature that there is no permissible substitute or alternative
available to the student within the following three semesters, or within a time period
that includes the graduating semester; or
4. the course is a required two-semester course that cannot be taken and completed
within the following three semesters, or within a time period that includes the
graduating semester.
In addition to the above requirements, a supplemental privilege is only granted when
appropriate and feasible. Therefore, it is unlikely that any student with a final grade of
less than 40% would meet the requirements of the granting of a supplemental privilege
and the decision to grant the privilege will normally be made in consultation with the
instructor and a review of the student's course performance during the semester.
Students must apply to their Program Counselor for a supplemental privilege no later than
the fifth day of classes of the semester following the failure. Failed Courses.
Note: Students in the B.Eng. Program should refer to the B.Eng. Program regulations
under Conditions for Continuation of Study in Section X.
Note: Students in the D.V.M. Program should refer to the D.V.M. Program regulations
under Conditions for Continuation of Study in Section X.
Procedures for Supplemental Privileges

1. Students must request a supplemental privilege by submitting the request to their
Program Counselor no later than the fifth class day of the semester following the
failure. Students are encouraged to submit their request before classes begin to allow
for receipt of a decision within the Add period.
2. The Academic Review Sub-Committee, upon receiving a request from the student,
will consult with the course instructor to obtain the students performance record for
the course, the instructor's recommendation concerning the appropriateness and
feasibility of a supplemental privilege, and the conditions that would be necessary to
ensure that the requirements for the course are fulfilled.
3. The Academic Review Sub-Committee will consider the request and decide whether
or not to grant a supplemental privilege.
4. Enrolment Services will inform the student and the Department Chair of the Academic
Review Sub-committees decision. It is the responsibility of the Department
Chair/Director to advise the appropriate instructor if the supplemental condition has
been granted.
5. An instructor should not proceed with any supplemental privilege for a student until
official notification of the granting of the privilege has been received from the
Academic Review Sub-Committee or the Office of Registrarial Services.
6. If the Academic Review Sub-Committee approves the request, the instructor
responsible for the course will determine the nature of the privilege, which could be
a written exam, an oral exam, an assignment, a laboratory practical, or any other
method or combination of methods of evaluation.
7. The instructor will complete a Terms of a Supplemental/Deferred Condition form
advising the student of the exact nature and due dates of the supplemental privilege.
8. If the instructor is unavailable to determine the details of the supplemental privilege,
the Chair/Director of the Department of the department/school offering the course
will take the necessary steps to assist in determining the requirements for completing
the supplemental privilege.
9. If the requirement includes, or takes the form of, the satisfactory completion of a
two-hour examination, the instructor will indicate this on the recommendation to the
Academic Review Sub-Committee. If the exam is significantly different from another
two-hour exam already completed by the student, the instructor must make this clear
on the Terms of a Supplemental/Deferred Condition form provided to the student.
For example, if the student had originally been assessed on a final exam covering
only the last four weeks of the semester, and is now to be assessed on a comprehensive
two hour exam, the nature of the new examination must be communicated to the
student at the time the Terms of a Supplemental/Deferred Condition form is completed.
The supplemental privilege should be completed by at least the thirtieth class day of
the semester following the failure.
10. The student must contact the instructor within 5 days of notification in order to clarify
the details of the supplemental condition.
11. The instructor will promptly mark the supplemental privilege and will forward to the
Chair/Director an indication as to whether the student has passed or failed the
supplemental privilege. The Chair/Director will initial the instructors decision and
forward it to Enrolment Services, Office of Registrarial Services, by the date indicated
in the request letter.
12. Enrolment Services, Office of Registrarial Services, will charge the fee for the privilege
(refer to Section VI - Schedule of Fees) and update the students record where
appropriate with the results of the completion of the supplemental privilege.
Transcripts
An official transcript may be ordered by submitting the "Request for Transcript" form
along with payment to Enrolment Services, Office of Registrarial Services. The order can

Transcripts are normally prepared within three to five working days, however, during
busy periods (e.g. common application deadlines) preparation time may be as long as
seven to ten days.
Official transcripts from the University of Guelph will show that a degree has been
conferred only after the date of convocation.
NOTE: Official Open Learning program transcripts must be ordered by submitting the
"Request for Transcript" form along with payment to the Open Learning and Educational
Support. The order can be placed by mail, facsimile or in person. The Open Learning
Transcript Request form can be found at: http://www.opened.uoguelph.ca/current/
undergrad-portal/forms/.
Transfer of Program
University of Guelph students wishing to transfer from one degree program to another
(e.g. from B.Sc. to B.Eng. or from B.A. to B.Comm.) are required to submit an application
form to Admission Services. Forms are available from Admission Services, third floor of
the University Centre.
To clarify possible conditions or requirements for transfer, students are encouraged to
consult with the admission counsellor for the program to which they wish to transfer
before submitting their application. In cases where the student's performance has been
inconsistent, the applicant must also submit a comprehensive support letter outlining the
reasons for transfer as well as any factors contributing to the previous academic
performance.
VIII. Undergraduate Degree Regulations and Procedures, Verification of Information
1. Procedures for Currently Registered Students

Course selection should be completed for the new program. The admission decision will
be made after grades from the current semester are available and after the deadline date
for course selection. The drop and add procedure must be used if the application is
submitted after the course selection deadline date and if course selection has been
completed for the current program.
Fee changes necessitated by the change of program will be calculated automatically by
Student Financial Services.
The admission decision will be sent to the student's Campus Post Office Box during the
first week of the following semester.
Students who have received an offer of admission which they wish to decline must contact
Admission Services within the first 10 class days and complete the Cancellation of Program
Transfer form. Students who fail to decline the offer will remain registered in the new
program. All students must verify their course selection with their departmental advisor
to ensure compatibility with their program of study.
2. Procedures for Students who are Not Currently Registered

An admission decision will be reached as soon as possible after receipt of the application
and any supporting documentation.
Admission decisions will be mailed to the mailing address, if in effect, or to the permanent
address. Information on mail registration and instructions concerning course selection
will be sent under separate cover by Enrolment Services.
Note: Students who wish to transfer from one specialization to another in the same program
(e.g. from Biological Science to Chemistry in the B.Sc. Program or from Drama to
Sociology in the B.A. Program) are not required to apply to Admission Services. Such
students should contact the departmental advisor for the specialization in which they wish
to register. Students wishing to change specializations within the B.A.Sc. or B.Comm.
Programs should consult with their program counsellor.
Verification of Information
WebAdvisor provides students with access to their current semester's enrolment information
and the academic evaluation for their current program.
Prior to the start of the June, October and March course selection periods registered
undergraduate students will be sent an email which lists their current academic program
and class level. The email also contains information regarding how to make corrections
to the information listed.
Changes to personal information (e.g. name) may require presentation of appropriate
documentation to Enrolment Services, Office of Registrarial Services.
Student hardcopy files are destroyed after 7 years of inactivity (e.g. no registrations) or
one (1) semester after a student has graduated. In these cases the transcript is the only
official file available from the Office of Registrarial Services that can be referenced during
an appeal.
Students should familiarize themselves with the procedures regarding Academic
Consideration, Grade Reassessment and Petitions.
Withdrawal
This section provides a summary of rules and regulations with respect to various types of
withdrawal from the University. In some instances other sections of the calendar are
referenced and these also should be consulted to ensure that a full understanding of the
regulations is obtained. There are two types of withdrawals: voluntary or required.
49
A student intending to withdraw from the semester must submit a completed and signed
Notice of Withdrawal Form to Enrolment Services, Office of Registrarial Services. The
form must be signed by the students program counsellor and is available on WebAdvisor,
Students, under Forms & Documents.
A student receiving financial assistance through the Ontario Student Assistance Program
is strongly advised also to contact Student Financial Services regarding the status of that
award upon withdrawal.
The timing of the semester withdrawal and the reasons for it may have academic and
financial implications. Up to the 40th class day, a student may withdraw without academic
penalty. Students will be liable for fees payable in accordance with the refund schedule
(see Section VI--Schedule of Fees regarding Refunds).
A student who wishes to withdraw from a semester after the fortieth class day of that
semester must speak with their program counsellor to discuss their academic options.
A student who withdraws from the semester must return all outstanding loans from the
Library immediately upon withdrawal regardless of the original due date. Any items not
returned will be declared "lost" and charged to the student's account.
Students who do not register in a program of study for six or more consecutive semesters
are required to apply for readmission if they wish to continue at the University of Guelph.
In assessing whether a student is registered in a program of study a cancelled semester
registration does not count as a registered semester whereas a voluntary withdrawal from
the semester does. Students who are studying on exchange programs, on a University
semester abroad, or on coop work terms are considered to be registered at the University
(see Time Limitations in this chapter). Students registered solely at another institution on
a Letter of Permission are not considered to be registered at the University of Guelph.
Students may be required to withdraw from their program and/or the University of Guelph
for reasons of academic performance or academic misconduct.
a. Academic Performance (please refer also to the section on

Continuation of Study for detailed requirements)
Students who do not meet the continuation of study requirements for at least probationary
status at the end of the winter or summer semesters will be required to withdraw and the
two-semester rustication period will begin effective the subsequent semester.
At the end of the fall semester a student whose cumulative or semester average is below
the level for probationary status at the end of the fall semester has two options:
i. The student may choose to accept "Required to Withdraw" status effective with the
beginning of the subsequent winter semester by not registering for the winter semester.
This means that the two-semester rustication period will begin immediately; or
ii. The student may register and continue in his/her program on probationary status for
the winter semester. Failure to achieve the required semester average for probationary
status at the end of the winter semester will result in the student being required to
withdraw. In this case, the two-semester rustication period will begin effective the
summer semester. Note: If a student registers and subsequently withdraws from the
winter semester or has their winter semester registration cancelled, the required to
withdraw status will apply immediately.
Students who are granted a deferred privilege (examination or condition) will have their
Continuation of Study Status assessed once the deferred privilege is complete. At that
time an assessment of required to withdraw could have an impact on the student's current
registration.
Voluntary Withdrawal
b. Academic Misconduct (refer also to the full Academic Misconduct

Policy in this chapter)
Normally, cancelling a semester registration or voluntarily withdrawing from a semester

does not impact a students eligibility to continue in their program or to select courses for
a future semester unless the student is a newly admitted or readmitted student, the students
fall term standing has been assessed as required to withdraw or the student has not
registered for 6 consecutive semesters.
One of the penalties that may be assessed against a student found guilty of academic
misconduct is suspension from the University for a period of between one and six
consecutive semesters. The effective date of such a suspension is determined by the dean
responsible for the case.
Cancelling a semester registration

Prior to the first day of classes a student who has preselect courses for an upcoming
semester who subsequently decides not to attend that semester may cancel their registration,
by dropping all their courses for that term using WebAdvisor. If the student does not have
access to WebAdvisor they may send an email, which includes their student id number,
from their @mail.uoguelph.ca account to Office of Registrarial Services, Enrolment
Services at ups@uoguelph.ca asking to have their semester registration cancelled. For the
Fall semester the required minimum registration deposit will automatically be forfeited.
Please refer to "Refunds" in section VI - Schedule of Fees for specific details.
Please note that if the student has been newly admitted or re-admitted as of the semester
to which the cancellation applies the cancellation of the courses cancels the offer of
admission to that semester and the student must apply for readmission should they wish
to attend the University of Guelph at another time.
Withdrawing from a semester registration

Commencing with the first day of regular classes the withdrawal procedure from the
semester is required and outlined below.
c. Appeals (refer also to the sections on Academic Consideration

and Academic Misconduct for full details of appeals processes)
Students who do not satisfy the program requirements for continuation of study and are
required to withdraw may appeal for probationary status to the Academic Review
Sub-Committee, and subsequently the Senate Committee on Student Petitions, on medical,
psychological, or compassionate grounds. Students are not permitted to attend classes
until such time as the appeal is granted.
Students who are suspended from the university as a result of academic misconduct may
appeal to the Senate Committee on Student Petitions with respect to either the
appropriateness of the penalty or the finding of guilt.
Readmission (refer also to the section on Readmission, earlier in

Chapter VIII)
Students who meet one of the following 3 criteria must apply to Admission Services for
readmission:
a. were required to withdraw from their program for a period of 2 or more semesters;
b. were suspended from the University for academic misconduct; or
50
VIII. Undergraduate Degree Regulations and Procedures, Withdrawal
c. have not registered at the University of Guelph for 6 or more consecutive semesters
Readmission to a program at the University of Guelph is not automatic. Students should
consult Section IV-Admission information regarding appropriate admission requirements
and deadline dates. Applicants for readmission should include a statement which outlines
the basis for readmission. Criteria used for readmission may differ by academic program.
Students considering readmission should consult with the appropriate program counsellor
regarding procedures and criteria for readmission to that program.
Students who withdraw on more than two occasions may be required to meet with the
dean in order to clear their re-entry into a subsequent semester. At the discretion of the
dean, the condition of re-entry may be a recommendation of either Student Health Services
or Counselling Services (??) that re-entry is advisable. Students who wish to appeal the
decision of the dean have recourse to the Senate Committee on Student Petitions.
A student who wishes to be considered for readmission following a suspension for
academic misconduct must make an application that will be judged on the basis of
eligibility to continue. A student who is suspended for academic misconduct and also fails
to meet the continuation of study requirements will normally be required to serve the
associated penalties consecutively.
A student who has been expelled from the University for academic misconduct is not
eligible for readmission to the University for at least five years. A student who wishes to
be considered for readmission must petition the President to have the expulsion status
removed (please refer to the Academic Misconduct Policy for detailed procedures).
Granting of Credit while on Rustication

Senate's Policy on granting of credit for work done while on rustication is outlined below.
It applies to any university credit course taken during the rustication period.
a. Students who have been required to withdraw for reasons of academic performance
and who take university credit courses during their rustication period will be eligible
for up to 1.00 credit provided they meet the criteria for readmission and the criteria
for the transfer of credit. Students registered for courses through the Open Learning
Program are not permitted to attend courses on campus.
b. Students who take university courses after the two-semester rustication period or after
a period of suspension may transfer all these credits, provided the student meets the
criteria for readmission and the criteria for the transfer of credit.
c. Students who have been suspended for academic misconduct will not receive any

General Statements on Awards
The Senate of the University of Guelph is charged with the responsibility "to deal with
all matters arising in connection with the awarding of fellowships, scholarships, bursaries,
medals, prizes and other awards" (University of Guelph Act). In carrying out these
responsibilities, Senate has established various policies regarding awards and scholarships,
and approves the terms and conditions attached to such awards. Each College has a College
Awards Committee, which is responsible for the awarding of scholarships and bursaries
in the programs under its authority. In addition, Student Financial Services is responsible
for awarding bursaries on the basis of financial need, and evaluating the needs component
of Scholarships with Financial Need. Some scholarships and bursaries are open to all
students regardless of degree or diploma program and others are restricted to students in
particular degree programs/majors/ or departments. Students entering the 1st semester of
their first undergraduate degree should consult the "Entrance Scholarships" and Entrance
Scholarships with Financial Need sections of the calendar for a listing of those awards
for which they may be eligible. In-course students currently registered at the University
of Guelph or transfer students (students who are entering the University of Guelph from
another post-secondary institution) should refer to the "In-course" sections for a listing
of awards for which they may be eligible. Also refer to Section VIII--Undergraduate
Degree Regulations and Procedures, Academic Misconduct, Penalties, for additional
regulations regarding scholarships and bursaries.
Eligibility: To be eligible for entrance awards, you must be a Canadian citizen or
permanent resident entering the 1st semester of post-secondary studies for the first time.
To be eligible for in-course awards, you must be registered in an academic term and have
completed a minimum of two semesters of study at the University of Guelph. In-course
awards are available to all currently registered students, unless otherwise stated in the
eligibility clause of a specific award. A minimum of 70% average is required for all
scholarships. International Students: Financial Assistance Programs are available for
International Students, including Entrance Awards, Work-Study and In-course Bursaries.
International students must complete one full calendar year before applying for Work-Study
or an In-course student bursary. In addition, many of the University of Guelph's
scholarships for upper-year students are available to enrolled international students and
are based on high academic standing. Where applications are required, it is the student's
responsibility to obtain an application from Student Financial Services and to see that it
is returned prior to the deadline date.
Award: Generic term used to refer to any type of award. These include scholarships,
bursaries, travel grants and ACCESS awards.
ACCESS Awards: The University established an endowment fund through generous
donor contributions and has been matched by the provincial government's Ontario Student
Opportunity Trust Fund (OSOTF) program and the Ontario Trust for Student Support
(OTSS). The income generated from these endowments will be used to support financial
aid programs. The awards created will be used to assist Canadian citizens or permanent
residents who meet the Ontario residency requirements as mandated by the OSOTF/OTSS
program. Students must complete a Financial Need Assessment Form in order to be
considered. Please contact the Awards Office, Student Financial Services for further
details.
Ontario Government Mandated Terms for an OSOTF/OTSS Award:
i) be a Canadian citizen or permanent resident;
ii) be a Ontario resident as defined by a) have lived in Ontario for a period of at least 12
consecutive months up to the beginning of full-time post-secondary study; or b) the
student's spouse has lived in Ontario for at least 12 consecutive months up to the beginning
of the current year full-time post-secondary study period; or c) the student's
parent(s)/stepparent(s)/legal guardian/official sponsor has lived in Ontario for at least 12
consecutive months up to the beginning of the current year full-time post-secondary study
period;
iii) financial need as determined by the University of Guelph's Financial Need Assessment
procedures.
Bursary: An award provided to a student on the basis of financial need only. Financial
need is determined by the University of Guelph's Bursary Committee after an evaluation
of the Financial Need Assessment Form has been submitted by the student. Academic
merit is not a consideration in awarding a bursary. You must be a Canadian citizen or
permanent resident of Canada to be considered for bursaries. International students are
eligible to apply for the International Student Bursary only.
Scholarship: An award provided on the basis of academic performance and given for
further study. Given that the merit component is normally academic, it may include such
non-academic aspects as leadership, extracurricular activity, volunteerism, and community
involvement. Scholarships can be monetary, prizes, or medals. Financial need is not a
consideration of scholarships.
Scholarships with Financial Need: An award provided on the same criteria as
scholarships, but financial need is a consideration.
51
Travel Grants: These grants are provided to students who wish to travel as part of their
program of study. Examples of travel opportunities include: Exchange/Study Abroad
programs, letter of permissions, field courses, and independent research projects that are
related to a student's program of study.
Payment of Awards for In-course Students: Please note that Student Financial Services
will apply all internal awards against outstanding balances on students' accounts.
Payment of Awards for Entrance Students: Awards will be applied directly to the
student's financial account in two equal payments in the fall and winter semesters.
Students who receive an award and who withdraw from the semester in which the award
is received, or change the number of credits in which they are registered, may have their
award adjusted. This adjustment will be calculated up to the twentieth class day according
to the rebate schedule in effect for that semester and the published terms and conditions
for the award.
Notice of Disclosure: It is understood that merit award winners' names will be released
to donors and may be published as a condition of the award.
The University reserves the right to amend awards subject to the availability of
funds.

development, capabilities, health and relationships across the lifespan. It is one of several
majors in the Department that share an over-arching goal of applying knowledge to promote
individual and family well-being. This major offers a high degree of flexibility for students,
who may choose to deepen their studies in one or more of the core content areas in the
major (adulthood and aging, family and social relationships, human sexuality, or health
and well-being) and/or to choose electives in a related or complementary field.
Program Requirements
All students in the Adult Development major must successfully complete a minimum of
20.00 passed credits, including the core of 10.50 required credits as outlined in the Schedule
of Studies.
Some students may wish to select courses that provide a broad background appropriate
for careers in teaching, social work, health promotion, couple and family relationships,
physical, occupational and recreation therapy, nursing, business, public service management
or other areas of work. Students interested in pursuing graduate education are encouraged
to complete an undergraduate thesis in their senior year and to participate in faculty
research projects.
In addition to the core requirements and options, there are courses in various departments
throughout the University which may be taken as electives. Lists of suggested electives
that relate to particular careers or areas of interest and requirements for admission to
various graduate programs, including Faculties of Education, are available from the
B.A.Sc. Program Counsellor.
Students must meet the continuation of study requirements at the time of graduation and
have a minimum 60.00% cumulative average.
Students may take one minor in addition to the Adult Development major. See the
University of Guelph Calendar, Section X, Degree Programs, Specialization and Their
Degrees for list of minors : http://www.uoguelph.ca/registrar/calendars/undergraduate/
current/c10/index.shtml. The 60.00% requirement applies to each major and minor.
Double Counting of Courses
A maximum of 50 percent of the courses applied to a minor may be courses taken in
fulfillment of the major where required courses are the same.
Counselling on Minors
The B.A.Sc. program counsellor assists students in the selection of minors, interpreting
program and academic regulations.
Academic departments offer the minors and assign faculty advisors to assist students with
academic planning (e.g., a faculty advisor in the Psychology department handles queries
about a minor in Psychology). Students should consult the appropriate faculty advisor,
along with the B.A.Sc. Program Counsellor, when declaring a minor or requiring advice
on the completion of specialization requirements. The list of faculty advisors is available
on the Undergraduate Academic Information Centre website: http://www.uoguelph.ca/
uaic/students_faculty.shtml or contact the B.A.Sc. Program Counsellor for further
information.
Program Information
The University of Guelph offers an 8 semester (20.00 credits) honours program leading
to a Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.Sc.) degree. Students must select one of the 3
following major areas of study:
Adult Development (ADEV)
Applied Human Nutrition (AHN)
Child, Youth and Family (CYF)
Co-operative Education is available in the following programs:
Adult Development (Co-op) (ADEV:C)
Child, Youth and Family (Co-op) (CYF:C)
Elective offerings enable students to select courses which support or complement their
primary field of study.
The program is interdisciplinary and provides a distinctive and integrated focus of applied
social science in each of the 3 majors. Courses from the traditional disciplines in other
departments in the University are coupled with courses offered by faculty members in the
Department of Family Relations and Applied Nutrition whose own backgrounds reflect
the interdisciplinary nature of the program.
Laboratory, practicum and field experiences enhance the students' opportunities to grasp
the contributions of the social, physical and biological sciences to significant facets of
human behaviour and experience, whether in family, community, or in educational settings.
Academic Counselling
Program Counselling
A B.A.Sc. program counsellor is available to assist prospective students in the selection
of their major and initial courses, and to respond to questions regarding any other aspects
of their anticipated program. The program counsellor will also assist in-course students
who need information or advice about their program or other academic regulations, who
seek information on services and resources available to students or who are contemplating
transfer into or out of their current major or degree program.
Academic Advising
On entering the program all students are assigned to a departmental advisor by major.
Co-operative Education students in all majors are also assigned to an advisor. This advisor
is thoroughly familiar with the academic requirements of the program and is also
knowledgeable about career opportunities which relate to a student's specific major.
Students are strongly encouraged to attend all meetings called by their departmental
advisors, and to set up individual meetings with them when they have questions or concerns
about their major, or their performance in the program.
Students are advised to consult the regulations for Continuation of Study which are outlined
in detail in Section VIII--Undergraduate Degree Regulations & Procedures.
Conditions for Graduation

To qualify for the degree Bachelor of Applied Science, the student must satisfy the
following conditions:
the student must have successfully completed the schedule of studies requirements
for the specified major
the student must have a cumulative average of 60% or higher
the student must have a term academic standing of Eligible to Continue or Continue
on Probation
Schedule of Studies
Courses specified in the Schedule of Studies are required courses and must be completed
successfully. A full course load normally includes 2.50 credits (normally 5 courses). The
requirements for each major are set out below.
Special Expenses
Expenses for field trips can range from $20 to $30 per semester in the first 4 semesters
and from $25 to $50 in each of the last 4 semesters. In certain courses modest expenses
will be incurred for supplies and where appropriate for laboratory costs. According to
recent Ontario legislation, agencies licensed by the Ministry of Community and Social
Services which care for, or provide service to, children or vulnerable adults are required
to do criminal reference checks on all their employees. Students enrolled in practica or
field placement courses may be required to submit to the agency with which they are
placed, personal information about any criminal convictions and pending criminal charges.
The cost of acquiring this criminal reference check (Canadian Police Information Check)
will be the responsibility of each student.

Graduate and Professional Studies

Students have successfully used the B.A.Sc. degree to gain admission into graduate
programs in human development/family science, couple and family therapy, social work,
education, applied psychology, sociology, anthropology, occupational therapy,
physiotherapy, speech and language, and social policy. If you plan to enter a graduate
program after completing the Adult Development major of the B.A.Sc. degree program
you will need to select certain courses as part of your undergraduate program to meet
graduate program admission requirements. Sometimes these requirements are quite
particular which means that you must plan your course selections early and carefully.
Although graduate programs differ in their entrance requirements, most graduate programs
require that you have taken (at least): one course in research methods; two undergraduate
statistics courses; and have completed an undergraduate thesis.
For many of the programs you will be required to take Graduate Record Exams (GREs)
in the specific field of study. You are strongly advised to contact the graduate programs
that interest you early in your program to determine the specific entrance
requirements of each program.
Human Sciences.
The Adult Development Co-op major focuses on health and well-being from young
adulthood to old age within the context of changing family relationships and diverse social
and cultural influences. Courses focus on current research and theory in adult development
and aging, family relationships, human sexuality, social policy and community services.
Work placements and community service learning opportunities enable students to gain
knowledge, skills and values appropriate for work with individuals and groups in a variety
of settings.
Graduates of this program are pursuing careers in a variety of settings including family
and community service agencies; government policy-making, administration, and health
promotion divisions; support services delivery for seniors and their families; health care
agencies; employee and family assistance programs; and local social planning councils.
This program provides a solid foundation for the pursuit of graduate studies in fields such
as: family relations and human development, social work, human sexuality, gerontology,
physical, occupational and recreation therapy programs, family law and mediation, couple
and family therapy, education, health promotion, social policy and human resource
management (business).
This interdisciplinary program is designed to provide students with an understanding of
the influence of psychological, social, biological and economic factors on individual
development, capabilities, health and relationships across the lifespan. It is one of several
majors in the Department that share an over-arching goal of applying knowledge to promote
individual and family well-being. This major offers a high degree of flexibility for students,
who may choose to deepen their studies in one or more of the core content areas in the
major (adulthood and aging, family and social relationships, human sexuality, or health
and well-being) and/or to choose electives in a related or complementary field.
All students in the Adult Development Co-op major must successfully complete a minimum
of 20.00 passed credits, including the core of 10.50 required credits as outlined in the
Schedule of Studies. Students in the Co-op program must also complete COOP*1100 in
the third semester.
Some students may wish to select courses that provide a broad background appropriate
for careers in teaching, social work, health promotion, couple and family relationships,
physical, occupational and recreation therapy, nursing, business, public service management
or other areas of work. Students interested in pursuing graduate education are encouraged
to complete an undergraduate thesis in their senior year and to participate in faculty
research projects.
In addition to the core requirements and options, there are courses in various departments
throughout the University which may be taken as electives. Lists of suggested electives
that relate to particular careers or areas of interest and requirements for admission to
various graduate programs, including Faculties of Education, are available from the
B.A.Sc. Program counsellor.
Conditions for Graduation from the B.A.Sc. Co-operative Education Program
Conditions for graduation are the same as the corresponding regular B.A.Sc. program. In

Applied Human Nutrition (AHN)

Human Sciences.
The Applied Human Nutrition major recognizes both the biological and the social facets
of human nutrition. It focuses on nutrition from a preventive, maintenance and therapeutic
perspective, all of which require a thorough understanding of the related biological sciences
and of selected aspects of the behavioral sciences. Students learn about nutrition and its
application to the maintenance of health and the prevention and treatment of disease. They
also learn about individual and social behaviour, particularly in family settings, and the
implications of behavioral factors in the establishment of good nutrition status from
conception through to old age.
The B.A.Sc. Applied Human Nutrition program is accredited by the Dietitians of
Canada.

Electives
There are 4.50 electives throughout the major which may be fulfilled by electing courses
in any subject provided that the student has the prerequisite courses and can schedule
them. Some electives and restricted elective courses are intended to contribute to a liberal
education, while others permit students to work toward specific academic and career
goals. Departmental advisors will assist students in selection of courses that will meet the
requirements of the Dietitians of Canada for eligibility for Internship and/or membership,
and when requested, can assist in selection of electives to complement the core
requirements.
Child, Youth and Family (CYF)

Human Sciences.
The Child, Youth and Family major, administered by the Department of Family Relations
and Applied Nutrition, examines the psychological, social and physical conditions which
influence the growth and development of children and adolescents. While the primary
focus of the major is on children and youth, the program regards the family as a primary
context of development and as the key to successful interventions for children with
developmental, behavioural, or socio-emotional difficulties. Through the effective use of
elective courses, the core requirements in the major can be supplemented to create a
program of study which will prepare graduates for a variety of careers in child and youth
services. Graduates are pursuing child and youth-related careers in a variety of settings
including child and youth treatment facilities, elementary schools, paediatric wards in
hospitals, family and community service agencies, and child care centres. Students
interested in working with children ten years of age and younger may apply for membership
in the College of Early Childhood Educators; see further details on required courses below.
Further academic preparation may be required for certain careers. Many graduates go on
to pursue graduate education in fields such as family studies, human development,
psychology, counselling psychology, social work, speech pathology, and occupational
therapy.
Articulation Agreements
The University of Guelph is a partner in several Articulation Agreements concerning the
Child, Youth and Family major. Students who enter the B.A.Sc. Child, Youth and Family
major with advanced standing through an articulation agreement should identify themselves
to the B.A.Sc. Program Counsellor for specific guidance around their Schedule of Studies
(see Section IV of this calendar).
Students in the Child, Youth and Family major who are interested in proceeding to teachers
college should refer to Section IV--Admissions Information, Articulation Agreements for
information about admission to the Bachelor of Education program at Nipissing University.
All students in the Child, Youth and Family major must include the following core of
11.50 required credits and 0.50 restricted electives to a minimum of 20.00 passed credits.
Students are encouraged to plan their use of electives carefully in order to focus their
program on one or a combination of the career options open to graduates. Discussion with
a departmental advisor regarding the various choices possible from within the major is
strongly recommended. Students will normally register for courses according to the
semesters indicated below for Fall and Winter sequencing. Students who register for
Summer semesters and other students for whom the semester offerings present difficulty
may, where they have the approval of their departmental advisor, take some courses in
alternative semesters.
Minors

Students may take one minor in addition to the Child, Youth and Family major. See the
University of Guelph Calendar, Section X, Degree Programs, Specialization and Their
Degrees for list of minors : http://www.uoguelph.ca/registrar/calendars/undergraduate/
current/c10/index.shtml. The 60.00% requirement applies to each major and minor.
A maximum of 50 percent of the courses applied to a minor may be courses taken in
fulfillment of the major where required courses are the same.
The B.A.Sc. program counsellor assists students in the selection of minors, interpreting
program and academic regulations.
Academic departments offer the minors and assign faculty advisors to assist students with
academic planning (e.g., a faculty advisor in the Psychology department handles queries
about a minor in Psychology). Students should consult the appropriate faculty advisor,
along with the B.A.Sc. Program Counsellor, when declaring a minor or requiring advice
on the completion of specialization requirements. The list of faculty advisors is available
on the Undergraduate Academic Information Centre website: http://www.uoguelph.ca/
uaic/students_faculty.shtml or contact the B.A.Sc. Program Counsellor for further
information.

Education - Primary / Junior / Intermediate
Graduates interested in elementary school teaching need additional study at a Faculty of
Education. For those who wish to teach primary (junior kindergarten to grade 3) or junior
(grades 4 to 6), each faculty of education may have certain required courses for admission.
Often recommended are courses in visual or performing arts, mathematics, languages,
physical or natural sciences, history or geography. Students interested in intermediate
(grades 7 to 10) level teaching need to acquire a teachable subject in a specific discipline.
Normally, this requirement consists of six semester courses in an area of concentration.
Students are strongly advised to contact the Faculties of Education that interest them
early in their programs to determine the specific requirements.
programs in social work, applied psychology, sociology, anthropology, occupational
therapy, speech and language, and social policy. If you plan to enter a graduate program
after completing the Child, Youth and Family major of the B.A.Sc. degree program you
will need to select certain courses as part of your undergraduate program to meet graduate
program admission requirements. Sometimes these requirements are quite particular which
means that you must plan your course selections early and carefully. In our program you
would include FRHD*4810 and FRHD*4910.

Special Study Options

London Study Semester
A special program of studies designed to make use of the uniquely rich resources of
London, England, is offered as a regular part of the B.A. program every Fall semester.
The program is supervised by a faculty member from Guelph who directs the studies in
London and supervises correspondence with faculty in Guelph. Courses in London are
of 2 kinds: London based courses and correspondence courses. London based courses in
music, theatre and fine art are given by British tutors, and the coordinator offers courses
in his/her area of interest. Students are also permitted to arrange correspondence courses
to meet their particular needs. Students wishing to apply for the London Semester should
have good academic standing and should have completed at least 2 semesters at the
University of Guelph at the time of application; although preference will be given to those
with a cumulative average of 70% or above, all applications will be given careful
consideration. More detailed information about academic requirements, bursaries, courses,
etc. can be obtained from the B.A. Program Counselling Office, Room 130 in the
MacKinnon Building.
The University of Guelph offers many other Study Abroad and Exchange opportunities
for students to enrich their learning experience. Bachelor of Arts students are encouraged
to participate in any of the diverse options available. Courses taken while on exchange
or study abroad can be used as electives or core requirements. For further information on
the programs available, please refer to Section V - International Study. Students are advised
to meet with a B.A. Program Counsellor to discuss the feasibility of participating in an
exchange or semester abroad.

Anthropology (ANTH)
Department of Sociology and Anthropology, College of Social and Applied Human
Sciences
The Department of Sociology and Anthropology offers three types of courses: sociology
courses with the prefix SOC*; anthropology courses with the prefix ANTH*; and
departmental courses with the prefix SOAN*. The departmental category of courses
recognizes the fact that the disciplines of sociology and sociocultural anthropology have
developed in tandem and it is possible to identify large areas of overlap and convergence
in the work of practitioners both historically and in the present. Departmental courses
include most of the core theory and methods courses as well as many elective courses.
They contribute equally to the subject matter of sociology as well as the subject matter
of sociocultural anthropology for purposes of the undergraduate programs of study in
both disciplines. Please see the listings for all courses required for the Anthropology
program. Note: the following course may be used towards an anthropology specialization:
ISS*2990.
Courses will normally be offered in the semesters designated. Please check with the
department for information about additional semester offerings. In addition to regularly
scheduled courses, students may elect to do independent study. A student who wishes to
do a reading course should first consult the professor with whom he/she wishes to work.
Please note, a student is allowed a total of 1.00 credits only for reading courses.

The students who elect to take a substantial number of courses in Art History with the
objective of graduate work are advised to obtain counselling from faculty regarding their
choices. It is important to know that graduate studies in Art History will usually require
a reading knowledge of at least 2 languages other than English. German, French, Italian
and Latin are among the most useful choices. Cognate electives in other disciplines in the
College of Arts (such as History) will almost certainly prove an asset.

Environmental Governance (EGOV)

Environmental governance refers to the processes through which societies make decisions
that affect the environment. Governments have long been dominant players in this context.
However, in Canada and around the world, the ability of governments alone to address
environmental problems is being called into question. As a result, contemporary
environmental governance increasingly involves citizens, non-government organizations,
and businesses.
The Major in Environmental Governance introduces students to the challenges of
environmental governance. Through completing courses from the disciplines of geography,
political science, agricultural economics, and economics, students will receive: a solid
foundation in the processes and mechanisms of environmental governance in Canada and
elsewhere; an understanding of geographical, political, and economic factors that shape
governance in Canada and around the world; and exposure to innovative approaches to
environmental governance that address persistent and emerging societal concerns. Students
completing the major will have the skills and experiences needed to participate effectively
in environmental governance in a variety of settings. Hence, they will find careers in the
public sector, in environmental non-government organizations, and, increasingly, in the
private sector.
Completion of required courses, and careful selection from among optional courses, will
facilitate students completing a minor in Geography, Political Science, or Economics.
Minors in other programs also may complement the Major in Environmental Governance.

A minimum of 11.50 credits, consisting of 11.00 credits from the courses specified below,
plus 0.50 credits from other 4000 level courses in Geography; Political Science; Food,

European Studies (EURS)

Interdisciplinary Program
The European Studies program is designed for students who seek a career in International
Relations - especially in International Business and Administration - between Canada and
Europe. It offers a combination of languages, specially designed courses in European
thought, letters and history and specialization in either European Business or European
Culture and Civilization
Successful completion of the European Studies major requires proficiency in one of the
following languages (French, German, Italian or Spanish). In order to demonstrate language
proficiency, students have two options: they may study for a year at a European University,
in the country where their chosen core language is spoken, or they may write a final
research paper in the chosen core language within a required fourth year European Studies
course (see EURO*4740). It is highly recommended that students spend their third year
studying at a European university, in the country where their chosen core language is
spoken. The benefits of such an experience are considerable, both academically and
personally. One specific academic outcome of a successful year abroad will be recognition
that the student has fulfilled the program's core language requirement. For students who
have spent one year studying at a European university in a country where their chosen
core language is spoken, a course taken in that year involving a major academic paper or
exam in the core language will, upon approval of the Co-ordinator of European Studies,
be substituted for EURO*4740. See the Coordinator for the European Studies program
for more information. See also the course description for EURO*4740.

Studies in Quebec or Abroad

The French program encourages students to spend 1 or 2 semesters in a French-speaking
province or country, or to pursue their studies in an immersion program at the university
level. Credit for programs of study successfully completed may be applied towards the
University of Guelph degree requirements. Requests should be addressed well in advance
of registration to the Director of the School of Languages and Literatures. A letter of
permission is required (see Section VIII--Undergraduate Degree Regulations &
Procedures). Students may also take advantage of federal-provincial programs such as
the Second-Language Monitor program.
Year in Nice
A special year-long program in Nice, France, is offered to Guelph students at semester
levels 5 and 6. All courses for which transfer credits have been arranged are credited at
Guelph without the need for letters of permission; students pay only Guelph academic
fees and are eligible for OSAP. For further information see the Head of French Studies.
Geography (GEOG)
Department of Geography, College of Social and Applied Human Sciences

The Department of Geography provides students with a broad range of courses in Human
and Physical Geography which focus on the nature and evolution of the numerous and
complex physical and human environment systems of the world. Students are required to
select courses from both the human and physical fields. Within the program of studies it
is possible for students through course selection to follow a particular line of interest in,
for example, Rural Geography, Resource Management, Urban and Economic Geography,
Biophysical Resources or Geomorphology.
The 1000 level courses provide a foundation for the Geography programs and are
prerequisites or are strongly recommended for many of the 2000 level courses. The 2000
level systematic courses are prerequisite to the corresponding advanced courses at the
3000 and 4000 level. All students should obtain a copy of the department program planning
guide and consult with faculty before planning their course of studies.
Students contemplating graduate or professional programs of study following completion
of the honours program should consult a departmental advisor for advice on additional
courses that they should take.
The department also offers a B.SC. honours Earth Surface Science program (jointly with
Land Resources Science), a B.SC.(ENV.) honours Environmental Geography Major
program, and a B.SC. honours program Minor in Geographic Information Systems and
Environmental Analysis which are described in the schedule of studies for each of the
programs (Section X). Geography B.A. honours Majors are eligible to take the B.SC.
Minor. All Geography students are encouraged to consult with a departmental advisor
regarding course selection.
The following courses may be counted as Geography credits: ENVS*2030, ENVS*2060,

German (GERM)

All language courses carry 0.50 credits. Students with two years of high school German
or equivalent may not be admitted into GERM*1100. Students with 12U German credit
or its equivalent may be admitted into GERM*1110 only with the approval of the
department. All language students are advised to include LING*1000 among their electives
in order to derive the maximum benefit from their studies. Except where stated otherwise,
literary texts are, at all levels, studied in the original language. Students registering in
these courses will be expected to have the appropriate knowledge.
Study Abroad
The School of Languages and Literatures encourages students in the German program to
spend 1 or 2 semesters in a German speaking country to continue their studies at the
University level. Credit for programs of study successfully completed may be applied
towards the University of Guelph degree requirements.). For more information, contact
the Centre for International Program or the School of Languages and Literatures.

A minimum of 5.00 credits in German is required.
Upon passing both the German designation and its Humanities co-requisites, students
may also count HUMN*3020 and HUMN*3470 toward the German minor.
Students enrolled in the German program must contact the School of Languages and
Literatures for an up-to-date sequence of course offerings.
Hispanic Studies (HISP)

The Hispanic Studies program enables students to concentrate on the Spanish language
and on Spanish and Latin American literature. Language courses provide study of the
grammatical concepts required to establish and enrich reading, writing, oral and aural
skills from basic through advanced levels of study. Through literature and film, students
are introduced to a variety of cultural, historical, social, and political topics.
The usual first course in Spanish is HISP*1100. Students with 4U Spanish commonly
take HISP*2000. They may be admitted into HISP*1110 only with the approval of the
Instructor or the Faculty Advisor. Students with native or near native fluency normally
begin language courses with HISP*2000.
All language students are strongly advised to include LING*1000 in their program, and
CLAS*1000 among their electives in order to derive the maximum benefit from their
studies.
Study Abroad
The Hispanic Studies program encourages its students to take advantage of the University
of Guelph's exchange programs and the semester abroad opportunities. We offer exchange
programs with the University of Mlaga and the University of Alcala de Henares in Spain
the Instituto Tecnolgico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterrey (ITESM) and the
University of Guadalajara (with over 30 campuses) in Mexico and the University of San
Andrs in Argentina. Students also enjoy the semester abroad opportunity every second
winter in Guatemala. It is recommended that students go on exchange in their third year.
In order to be eligible for an exchange, students should have completed at least HISP*2010,
HISP*2990 , HISP*2040 and HISP*3080. Credits successfully completed at the host
university are applied towards University of Guelph degree requirements. Please see the
International Study section of the undergraduate calendar and consult the Coordinator of
Hispanic Studies for more information.

develop an interdisciplinary perspective, and to explore the methods of inquiry which
provide depth of knowledge in a specific subject.
A student submitting a proposal for the Individual Studies Major must submit the complete
proposal to the B.A. Program Counsellor before the third week of classes of semester
four. The B.A. Program Committee will consider proposals once, and will approve, approve
with revisions, or deny the proposal. Proposals cannot be resubmitted.
Proposals will not be considered unless they articulate a detailed rationale for a
coherent program of studies that is significantly different from any existing major
and minor combination at the University of Guelph, and unless the proposal meets
the following criteria:
a. minimum of 9.00 credits
b. minimum of 4.00 credits at the 3000 level and above, including at least 1.00 credits

Italian (ITAL)
All language courses carry 0.50 credits. Students with Year 4 or grade 12 Italian or their
equivalent may be admitted into ITAL*1060 or ITAL*1070 only with the approval of the
department. Students advancing in a Romance language (French, Spanish, Italian) are
advised to take elective courses in a second Romance language and in Latin. All language
students are strongly advised to include CLAS*1000 and LING*1000 among their electives
in order to derive the maximum benefit from their studies. Except where stated otherwise,
literary texts are, at all levels, studied in the original language. Students registering in
these courses will be expected to have the appropriate knowledge.
Study Abroad
The School of Languages and Literatures encourages students in modern languages to
spend 1 or 2 semesters in another country to study a particular language at the university
level. Credit for programs of study successfully completed may be applied towards the
University of Guelph degree requirements. Requests should be addressed well in advance
to either the School or a particular section of the School. A letter of permission is required
(see Section VIII--Undergraduate Degree Regulations and Procedures.)
Italian may be taken as a minor in the honours program. Students in Italian will be
counselled by the School of Languages and Literatures.

Mathematics and Statistics have become crucial components in the understanding and
exploration of more and more disciplines. Persons with a strong background in
mathematical sciences have access to a broad range of rewarding opportunities. Within
the B.A. program, the Department of Mathematics and Statistics offers areas of
concentration, majors and minors, both in Mathematics and Statistics. The Mathematics
programs are designed to provide considerable flexibility for students to pursue their own
interests, whether they be in the concepts of "pure" mathematics or techniques and
applications. As a result, these programs open up opportunities for careers in many sectors
such as business, education, government, industry, or medicine.

Music (MUSC)
The School offers courses in music history, theory, ethnomusicology, composition,
pedagogy, jazz and improvisation, popular music, digital music, and performance. Many
courses are open to all students, while others require knowledge of the rudiments of
musical notation or other prerequisites. Students are urged to plan their program in
consultation with a Music advisor. Music programs allow considerable flexibility for
students to select one or more areas of interest, such as individual study on an instrument
or in composition, performing in vocal or instrumental ensembles, specialized historical
or theoretical study or in-depth study in other music topics.
Courses in Music are offered in several of the semesters abroad, especially London. Credit
for programs of study successfully completed may be applied towards the University of
Guelph degree requirements.
423
Applied Composition
Private instruction is offered in music composition. In order to register in Applied
Composition (MUSC*2410), students must submit a portfolio of compositions (scores
and recordings) to the School of Fine Art and Music at the time of course selection.
Interviews are held prior to the first day of classes each semester (see School of Fine Art
and Music for interview schedule). In order to enrol in Applied Composition, students
must be registered in a Music program: Area of Concentration (General Program), Major
or Minor (Honours Program). Applied Composition courses are designed to be taken
during successive Fall and Winter terms. If this sequence is interrupted for more than one
semester, students may be required to reapply before registering to continue in Applied
Composition. Students must achieve a minimum grade of 70% in Applied Composition
courses in order to proceed to the next level.
Core Requirements
The Music core is designed to provide the concepts and skills students need for successful
study in higher level courses. All students in honours program major must complete the

Department of Philosophy, College of Arts

The Department of Philosophy offers programs emphasizing the history of philosophy
and the study of metaphysics, epistemology, ethics and logic. The requirements for the
various Philosophy programs are designed to ensure a basic competence in the discipline
while permitting varying degrees of flexibility. It is important that students discuss their
programs with a departmental advisor in order to ensure that the best selection of elective
Philosophy courses is made. This is especially important for students who are
contemplating graduate work in Philosophy.
Students may take PHIL*1000, PHIL*1010 and PHIL*1050 but only one may be counted
towards the minimum number of Philosophy courses required for a degree.

At least 5.00 Philosophy credits are required, including one course from each of groups
A, B and C below. At least 1.50 Philosophy credits must be at the 3000 or 4000 level.

Psychology (PSYC)
Department of Psychology, College of Social and Applied Human Sciences
The discipline of Psychology is normally associated with the social sciences, the biological
sciences, and the health professions. Specialization in Psychology at Guelph is available
as a B.A. honours program major, a B.A. honours program major (co-op), and as an
honours specialization in the B.SC. program (described in the schedule of studies for
B.SC. programs). Through its different undergraduate programs, the Psychology
Department attempts to provide a) a broad general education emphasizing psychological
theory and methodology, with an empirical basis in course work (e.g. experiments and
projects); b) an appropriate background in psychology for those who leave the University
with an undergraduate degree to embark on careers in related areas (e.g. social services);
and c) a sound preparation for graduate study in psychology. Students intending to apply
for admission to graduate programs in Psychology are advised to refer to the Graduate
Studies Advisory Note.
A cumulative average of at least 70% in all course attempts in Psychology is required to
enter or continue in the Honours Psychology program major in semesters 4, 5, 6, 7, and
8.
Minors
Students interested in a Minor in Psychology should examine the schedule of studies for
the Minors in Psychology. The department does not offer Psychology as an Area of
Concentration in the General BA Program.

With permission of the Psychology Department PRIOR to course selection, up to 1.00
non-psychology credits that would enhance the student's studies in Psychology, especially
in preparation for post-graduate work, may be credited towards the total number of credits
required for graduation in the honours program major in Psychology.
426
Graduate Studies Advisory Note: Most graduate programs require the student to have
at least a B+ average in order to be considered for admission. Students contemplating
graduate work in Psychology are strongly advised to complete the major by completing
0.50 electives credits at the 3000 level or above and 0.50 elective credits at the 4000 level
beyond PSYC*4870 and PSYC*4880 (the Honours Thesis courses) which would otherwise
satisfy the 3000-4000 level elective requirement for the major.
Students should note that the Honours Thesis courses are normally taken in a Fall-Winter
sequence worth the equivalent of 1.50 credits toward the 20.00 credits Honours B.A.
degree requirements.

level courses requiring for registration a cumulative average of at least 70% in all course
attempts in Psychology.
Psychology (Co-op) (PSYC:C)

Co-operative Education formally integrates the student's academic study with 3 work
terms (COOP*1000, COOP*2000, COOP*3000) in co-operating employer organizations.
The Co-op program is offered as a B.A. honours program major degree taken as one of
two major options combined with 3 work terms. (Students interested in applying to graduate
school in Psychology after graduation should see the Graduate Advisory Note at the end
of this section.)
All Co-op students are strongly advised to complete the B.A. requirements by including
in their program 3 or more courses from the listing of courses under Business
Administration, to ensure that they have 1 or more courses in computer science, accounting
and management, or organizational behaviour. (Business Administration is also available
as a minor.)
Depending on career aspirations, students should have a good working knowledge of one
or more of the following before their first work semester: quantitative methods, computer
science, accounting and management, or organizational behaviour.
The first work term normally follows 3 or 4 semesters of academic study (see Section
X-Co-operative Education Programs). Students must be eligible to continue in the Honours
Psychology program in order to remain in the Co-op program.
Admission to the Co-op program is limited and will be based on academic background.
Admission will normally be considered only at semester 1 entry or during semester 2
when the student selects courses for semester 3.
Courses designated with (H) are designed for students in a psychology honours
specialization. (H) courses are Honours level requiring for registration a cumulative
average of at least 70% in all course attempts in Psychology.

Note: When selecting core and elective credits the student should keep in mind the
prerequisites for their desired 3000 and 4000 level courses. When selecting courses beyond
Psychology the student should keep in mind both their second specialization and courses
appropriate for potential work-term placements.

Studio Art (SART)

The School offers programs that allow for concentrated study in Art History or in Studio
Art, or a combination of the two disciplines.
428
The Studio Art program provides a thorough grounding in contemporary art practice, art
history, theory, and criticism. Courses are offered in drawing, painting, photography,
printmaking, sculpture, computer graphics, and extended practices. Studio Art majors
must also take a selection of courses in art history. Specific requirements are listed below.
Cost of Studio Supplies

The majority of the cost of supplies must be borne by the student. In order to permit the
University to subsidize this cost and to allow for savings through discount buying, some
materials are obtained through the school by payment of a lab fee. The amount of the fee
is established for each semester prior to registration.
Student Counselling
Students who elect to take a substantial number of credits in Studio Art with the objective
of graduate work are advised to obtain counseling from their academic advisor regarding
their choices. However, in general, it is important to know that graduate studies in Studio
Art normally require an in-depth knowledge of traditional and contemporary media, as
well as a significant awareness of contemporary art history and theory. Students are
encouraged to take electives in other disciplines from across the University to inform their
Studio Art practice. Cognate electives in other disciplines in the College of Arts, such as
Philosophy, History, and English will almost certainly prove an asset.

X. Degree Programs, Bachelor of Arts and Sciences (B.A.S.)
429
Bachelor of Arts and Sciences (B.A.S.)

to a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences (B.A.S.) degree.
The Bachelor of Arts & Sciences program is designed for students who are motivated
equally by the study of Arts/Social Sciences and the Sciences, and who find challenge
and satisfaction in testing the traditional boundaries of study through undergraduate level
interdisciplinary work. The program meets these objectives through a unique structure
that accredits students in an Arts/Social Sciences core, a Sciences core, a Subject Area
core of interdisciplinary humanities and sciences courses (ASCI*), and a minor in each
of the Arts/Social Sciences and the Sciences (see program information for choices of
minors). The structure of the program ensures disciplinary rigour and breadth through
completion of core requirements for a B.A.S. degree, concentration in two distinct minors,
and concentration of learning in an academic cohort of B.A.S. students through the
interdisciplinary ASCI courses in the B.A.S. core. This core is open only to students in
the B.A.S. program.
Program Information
The B.A.S. program counsellor assists students in the selection of minors, interpreting
program and academic regulations, and with the selection of appropriate courses for chosen
minors and distribution requirements. Students should consult the counsellor when
experiencing particular difficulties affecting academic standing and progress through the
program. Students are encouraged to check the B.A.S. program website regularly for
course information and cross-listing of acceptable credits where appropriate.
Academic departments offer the minors in the B.A.S. program and assign faculty advisors
to assist students with academic planning (e.g., a faculty advisor in the History department
handles queries about a minor in History). Students should consult the appropriate faculty
advisor, along with the B.A.S. Program Counsellor, when requiring advice on the
completion of specialization requirements. The list of faculty advisors is available on the
Undergraduate Academic Information Centre website: http://www.uoguelph.ca/uaic/
facultyadvisors or contact the B.A.S. Program Counsellor for further information.
To be eligible to continue in the program, students must meet the requirements for

Leadership and Organizational Management (LOM)

440
The major in Leadership and Organizational Management provides a balanced foundation

of management knowledge and strategic leadership competencies that will enable graduates
to one day work as professional managers and organizational leaders. Courses extend
beyond the traditional lecture based format to include community based group projects,
guest lecturers, in-class simulations and case-based learning to help link academic expertise
and theory with industry practice. Experiential learning is an integral part of the major,
and occurs through the integration of industry examples in the classroom, and a required
course in evidence-based management, in which students conduct research in organizations
under the direction of a faculty member. Our faculty are highly skilled and committed
educators who encourage students to become actively involved in their own education,
both within and outside the classroom. In addition, the Leadership and Organizational
Management Student Association (LOMSA) is active in providing access to professional
associations, networking opportunities with industry professionals, leadership conferences,
guest speakers and social events to help students build relationships with other students,
faculty, and the business community.
Graduates of the Leadership and Organizational Management major will leave the
University of Guelph equipped with a range of knowledge and competencies that prepare
them to meet the leadership and management needs of the future in such roles as
management consultant, human resource practitioner, talent management specialist or as
future general managers. Successful completion of the courses within the Leadership and
Organizational Management may qualify graduates for potential certification by the Human
Resources Professionals Association (HRPA) as a Certified Human Resources Professional
(CHRP).

Marketing Management (MKMN)

The Marketing Management major is interdisciplinary, follows a liberal education
philosophy, and is built on our Department's long-standing expertise in the field of
consumer research. Therefore, the courses to be followed span departments and colleges
across the University and are designed to support the University's 10 Learning Objectives.
The Department of Marketing and Consumer Studies recognizes that we are not only
responsible for preparing students for a career in marketing but for educating them so that
they can be active, engaged citizens. This can only result from a balanced curriculum of
marketing and liberal education courses capable of providing students with an
understanding of the world they will work and live in, and the problem solving,
communication, and visualization skills needed to function effectively in it. Students will
gain education and skill in the management and leadership of product and services
marketing in a global economy. They will be prepared to work and live effectively in
today's world and to be flexible enough to pursue a variety of marketing career paths and
diverse leadership roles. The major is administered by the Department of Marketing and
Consumer Studies in the College of Business and Economics. Students can contact the
B.Comm. Program Counsellors or a Marketing and Consumer Studies Faculty Advisor
if they have questions.

Public Management (PMGT)

The Public Management program is designed to lead to an understanding of public sector
administration and management from the "inside" - as an integrated enterprise - as well
as from the outside - as a series of policy decisions and outcomes. Characterized by a
multi-disciplinary approach employing political, economic and business-oriented analysis,
students will confront questions of why politicians and public servants behave the way
they do, and how their policy choices and processes can be optimized. Management of
public entities features a unique set of challenges that arise from and interact with basic
political issues like democracy, accountability, equity, fairness, and justice. At the same
time it necessarily faces concerns common to all organizations, such as efficiency, human
and capital resource management, morale, planning, and adaptation to change.
The program will appeal to students interested in the public service, public sector businesses
or business-government relations.
Students enrolled in the PMGT major can choose to complete three of the five required
courses for the Certificate in Leadership as part of their requirements for the program if
they choose the appropriate restricted electives. If you would like to graduate both with
a BComm degree and the Certificate in Leadership you should use two of your free
electives to enroll in HROB*2010 in either semester 3 or 6 and HROB*4010 in semester
8. In addition to the five degree-credit courses selected from the above list, 120 hours of
leadership practice are required to obtain the undergraduate Certificate in Leadership. See

A principal aim of the Co-op program in Real Estate and Housing is to facilitate the
transition of students from academic studies to a professional career by enhancing the
integration of theory and practice.
The Co-op program in Real Estate and Housing is a five year program, including 5 work
terms. Although the schedule includes 5 work terms, students have the option to complete
only 4 of the 5 work terms, but must graduate with a Fall, Winter and Summer work term.

Real Estate Development Project
Tourism Management (TMGT)

Economics
As the world's largest industry, tourism encompasses a wide range of public and private
enterprises that require knowledgeable and talented management professionals. The
program in Tourism Management builds on a strong base of hospitality management
courses (human resources management, accounting, finance, hotel operations). In
conjunction with these courses the program provides specialized courses dealing with the
economic, social, cultural and environmental aspects of the industry as well as the critical
functions of tourism marketing, distribution, planning and development. In addition, there
are opportunities to develop expertise in eco-tourism and international tourism operations.
Students may consult the Faculty Advisor or the B.Comm. Program Counsellor for
additional information.
Verified work experience in the hospitality and tourism industry is required for
students to be eligible to graduate. Group work is a significant part of core credit
work.

Major
For this major, 15.00 of the 20.00 credits are specified as core requirements, 2.50 are
restricted electives (from List A), 1.50 are the Liberal Education Requirement and 1.00
are free electives.

Education Requirement.
X. Degree Programs, Bachelor of Computing (B.Comp.)
451
Bachelor of Computing (B.Comp.)
Computer Science (CS)
Students graduating from this program obtain a solid foundation in the theory and
application of all aspects of computing and information science. Core subjects, combined
with in-depth study in an area of application, give students the freedom to combine their
interests in computing with other areas of study and application.
There are two majors available in the Bachelor of Computing honours program. The major
in Computer Science provides a traditional computing foundation in software, hardware,
and theory. The major in Software Engineering contains an emphasis on software
development and design and has a greater focus on team work, communication skills, and
professional standards.
Course projects are based on real-world software development scenarios and allows
students to get the professional experience valued by today's high-tech employers. The
focused study in a second discipline (area of application) gives students the background
to effectively apply their knowledge.
Both majors require the equivalent of 8 semesters of successful full-time study. The general
program requires the equivalent of 6 semesters of successful full-time study are available.
Students in the honours program must choose a major in either Computer Science or
Software Engineering. The majors are also available with a Co-op option.
Since not all courses are offered in every semester and prerequisite dependencies must
be observed, students are encouraged to consult the program B.Comp. counsellor to plan
an initial program of study or when considering modifications to the suggested schedule
of studies list.

Program Information
Objectives of the Program
Students in this program obtain a liberal engineering education, which includes a
comprehensive core of science, mathematics and engineering science that provides a
strong foundation for engineering design and analysis. This enables students to undertake
the solution of engineering problems in the areas of biological, biomedical, computer,
engineering systems and computing, environmental, mechanical and water resources.
Core subjects, combined with elective opportunities, provide an understanding of the
connection between engineering and science, coupled with the interdisciplinary skills
needed to address the problems and challenges faced by engineers in society today.
The curriculum includes a strong emphasis on engineering design. Students engage in
engineering design throughout the program, and gain experience in computer aided design
and modeling, conceptual design and physical construction. Emphasis is on teamwork
and communications skills, as well as working on interdisciplinary projects.
Career opportunities are open in many segments of the economy. Examples are: consulting
services to municipalities, utilities and industry; resource agencies in advisory, regulatory,
planning and utilization; service industries of construction, power and water supply and
public health; manufacturing, design of computer and control systems, hardware and
software development; mechatronics and emerging energy systems; medical devices,
pharmaceutical and food industries and industrial ergonomics; academic research and
graduate studies within and without the field of engineering.
Many engineers assume management responsibilities after gaining experience in design,
development and operations. The balance provided by liberal arts and engineering education
allows graduates to enjoy a great deal of career mobility.
Accreditation
The baccalaureate degree programs in all engineering programs are accredited by the
Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board of Engineers Canada. Graduates from accredited
engineering programs have the educational requirements to apply for membership in the
Professional Engineers Ontario (PEO) and other provinces after a number of years of
acceptable engineering experience and successful completion of a PEO examination in
engineering law and ethics.
Requirements of the Program

Students combine their required courses in mathematics, physical sciences and engineering
with additional credits providing the opportunity for specialization in: one of the programs;
complementary studies courses; and elective subjects. A minimum of 23.50 credits must
be obtained for the following programs: Biological Engineering, Engineering Systems
and Computing, Environmental Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, and Water
Resources Engineering. A minimum of 23.25 credits must be obtained for Biomedical
Engineering. A minimum of 24.00 credits must be obtained for Computer Engineering.
At least 3.00 credits must be complementary studies, which consist of courses in the social
sciences, arts, management, engineering economics and communication. They complement
the technical content of the curriculum. All credits are selected according to the schedule
of studies for the student's chosen program. Restrictions apply to the number of non-core
credits which may be at the 1000 level. Further information on approved courses may be
obtained from the B.Eng. Program Guide available from the director or program counsellor
of the School of Engineering
Programs
Entry into a specific B.Eng. program is done two ways. Students can select their desired
program of study (major) at the time of application. If accepted, students will be given
an offer to their program of choice. Students also have the option of selecting the
Undeclared First Year (Undeclared Stream) entry point due to the similarities of first year.
Students in the Undeclared Stream then normally select their specific program of study
during course selection for Semester II. Students in the Undeclared stream are strongly
encouraged to meet with their Program Counsellor during Semester I. The School's
Associate Director - Undergraduate Affairs or designate approve program selection during
the semester add periods. There are no enrollment caps on any program, so students are
free to select their programs of choice. Students wanting to make a switch in majors after
the above dates are free to do so with prior approval, but will be off sequence and may
be required to take additional courses.
The available programs are:

In the last quarter century, the computer has grown so rapidly in importance that
engineering, science, business and industry could not function without it. With this growth,
a need has evolved for specialists who can incorporate computers and information into
complex industrial processes. The Engineering Systems and Computing program has been
conceived to satisfy this need. Graduates from this program will have, in addition to the
basic engineering skills, the ability to identify application areas where computer technology
represents the optimum solution, specify appropriate software for process control, data
reduction and/or expert system implementation and integrate the computer into the overall
system application.

Bachelor of Landscape Architecture (B.L.A.)

Landscape Architecture is the art and science of designing and conserving land and water
for human use and enjoyment. As a profession, Landscape Architecture is concerned with
two scales of planning and design.
The first scale is with the development of specific sites for residential, recreational,
institutional, commercial and industrial projects. The second scale pertains to the regional
landscape where the issues include management plans for forest, park and recreation areas,
agricultural lands protection, gravel pit mining and restoration, hazard land studies, and
visual resource analysis.
Program Information
Landscape Architecture is a diverse and rewarding design profession. Landscape architects
play an important role in shaping our environment, working in collaboration with other
design professionals, specialists and the public.
Students in the B.L.A. program attain professional knowledge and skill that prepares them
to deal with problems that concern the interface between people and the environment.
Program emphasis is on core professional knowledge domains that include landscape
analysis, design, implementation, communication, history and professional practice.
Additional required and elective courses in the arts and sciences provide a well-rounded
education.
Graduates of the program have exciting careers in the public and private sector. As
landscape architects, they design memorable places that are attractive, functional and
sustainable and that affect the way our cities, suburbs, rural and wilderness areas are
planned, designed and managed.
Accreditation
The Bachelor of Landscape Architecture program is accredited by the Canadian Society
of Landscape Architects (CSLA) accreditation is recognized by the American Society of

X. Degree Programs, Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)
Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.)

The University of Guelph offers general and honours programs leading to the B.Sc. degree.
The general program consists of a minimum of 15.00 credits (usually 30 semester courses)
involving normally 6 semesters of study. The requirements for the honours program is a
minimum of 20.00 credits (usually 40 semester courses) which may be obtained over 8
semesters of study. Some majors may require more than 20.00 credits.
The Three Semester System

Most of the B.Sc. programs operate on the three semester system. In this system each of
the Fall, Winter and Summer semesters is of 12 weeks duration. Two semesters are
equivalent to 1 academic year at a university on the traditional system. In the three semester
system, students may vary their rate of progress towards graduation. However, since many
science courses must be taken in a certain sequence and not all courses are offered each
semester, most science students are required to proceed from semester to semester in
restricted patterns. Furthermore, the advanced courses of the honours programs are offered
only in the regular fall and winter semesters.
Additional information may be obtained from Admissions Services, Office of Registrarial
Services. The three-semester system and the pass-by-course method of advancement allow
considerable flexibility of program arrangement. In addition, a variety of program contents
is available which the student may modify to meet individual requirements.
Transfer from One B.Sc. Program to Another

On entrance to the B.Sc. program, the student may elect to follow an intended area of
specialization or to postpone this decision until a later semester. The choice of a particular
program of study may be most effectively made at the end of Semester 3 or 4. Judicious
selection of courses in each and every semester will allow the easiest transfer between
programs without incurring the need for additional semesters of study. The program
counsellor of the particular college from which it is anticipated that the majority of science
courses will be taken should be consulted for advice.
Program Information
General Program Requirements
The general B.Sc. degree requires the successful completion of 15.00 credits. Normally
2.50 credits (usually 5 courses) are taken in each semester so that the degree may be
completed in 6 semesters. The general science program is designed to give a broad general
training in biological science, chemistry, physics and mathematical science. This is
achieved by requiring each student to take a minimum of 1.00 credits in each of the above
areas and an additional 0.50 credits in three of the four above areas. The courses to be
taken in semesters 4 to 6 may be selected to allow a broad study of the sciences from the
list of approved electives for B.Sc. students.
Honours Program Requirements

In order to graduate from the honours program, students must fulfill all program
requirements for the program and have achieved a 60%, or higher, cumulative average
over all course attempts. Normally 2.50 credits (usually 5 courses) are taken in each
semester so that the degree may be completed in generally 8 semesters. The following
types of honours programs are offered:
Honours Major Programs

Major in a subject
Major in a subject with a minor or a second major
Honours Major
461
B.Sc. Program Requirements

Regulations 1, 2, 3 and 4 apply to all B.Sc. students.
1. Entry Credits
In general, the 4U /grade 12 credit or its equivalent is required in a subject area to allow
entrance to the initial university course. Students who lack this requirement can remedy
the deficiency by successful completion of:
BIOL*1020 for students lacking biology
CHEM*1060 for students lacking chemistry
If more than one of the above courses is taken, students are required to complete additional
credits beyond the minimum total required for the degree.
2. 1st Year Science Core

In each of the first 2 semesters B.Sc. students must take one (1) of the specified courses
in each of biology, chemistry, physics and mathematical science, and 1 other course which
is normally an Arts or Social Science elective.
3. 1000 Level Credits

If more than 7.00 credits at the 1000 level are completed, students are required to complete
additional credits beyond the minimum total required for the degree.
4. 3000 and 4000 Level Credits

There is a requirement for a minimum of 6.00 science credits at the 3000- and 4000-levels
with a minimum of 2.00 credits at the 4000 level.
5. Science Credits
A minimum of 16.00 science credits (usually 32 courses) is required for the honours major
program. The inclusion of a minor in a non-science area involves the reduction to 14.00
science credits (usually 28 courses) with the approval of the program counsellors.
Acceptable science courses in the following programs means "acceptable to the B.Sc.
Program Committee". Lists of acceptable courses are available in the offices of the faculty
advisors and the program counsellors and on the world wide web at the following address:
http://www.bsc.uoguelph.ca/Approved_electives.shtml.
6. Double-Counting of Credits
A maximum of 2.50 credits required in a major program may be applied to meet the
requirements of a minor or an additional major.
For a completed minor in a non B.Sc. area, students can apply up to 1.00 credits, from
their minor, at the 3000/4000 level towards the 6.00 credits at the 3000/4000 level required
for the degree.
7. Continuation of Study
Students are advised to consult the regulations for continuation of study outlined in detail
in Section VIII--Undergraduate Degree Regulations & Procedures.
Doctor of Veterinary Medicine.

Students in the B.Sc. program who intend to apply for admission to the Doctor of
Veterinary Medicine program should register for the Major Biological Science or Major
Physical Science program, or the major of their choice. Prospective candidates for the
D.V.M. program should consult the admission requirements for the program. Students
may obtain assistance in selecting a program that will meet the requirements for the Doctor
of Veterinary Program and for continuation in biological or physical science programs
by consulting the appropriate Program Counsellor.
General Program (BSCG)

Majors permit a student to study science in greater depth than is permitted by the general
program. The student is required to take a minimum of 1.00 credits (usually 2 courses)
in each of biological science, chemistry, physics and mathematical science. In each of
semesters 3 to 8, students select science credits so that the total program provides a broad
science training with concentration in an area of physical science or biological science.
A major normally consists of certain prescribed courses (minimum of 8.00 credits) and
a number of elective courses to complete the requirements for the degree. The composition
of science courses selected must contain a sufficient number (minimum of 6.00 credits)
of 3000 and 4000 level courses including a grouping (minimum of 2.00 credits) particularly
at the 4000 level. A major program may be studied in conjunction with a minor in an area
of science, humanities or social science.

is the same as that listed above for the regular Honours Program Major. Students in the
Co-op program must also take COOP*1100 in the second academic semester. The total
program requirements, including the selection of electives are also the same.
Students will be expected to undertake their work terms after semester 3 and completion
of course CHEM*2480. Since certain courses must be taken in a different semester from
usual, consult your Faculty Co-op Advisor for assistance with course selection.
To graduate from the Co-op program a minimum of 4 successfully completed work terms
is normally required.

Bio-Medical Science (BIOM)

Department of Biomedical Sciences and Department of Human Health and Nutritional
Sciences
This joint program of the Department of Human Health and Nutritional Sciences and the
Department of Biomedical Sciences provides students with a broad and integrated
foundational overview of human and animal health through the study of function
(biochemistry and physiology), structure (anatomy and histology), and paraclinical sciences
(epidemiology and pharmacology). The program prepares students well for more advanced
studies or applied training in many health-related fields including clinical practice, business,
government, research and education. Through the use of electives, students may structure
a program emphasizing aspects of health and disease. For more information on
recommended electives contact the Faculty Advisor of the major.
In addition this program is designed to partially meet the current requirements for entry
into medical schools in Ontario (a student interested in meeting these requirements should
check the present admission requirements for the medical schools); as well as entry into
the DVM program of the Ontario Veterinary College.
Live animals and/or animal tissues are used for teaching purposes in some courses in the
Bio-Medical Science Major. This must be accepted by students admitted to the program.
All animals are protected under the Animals for Research Act of Ontario (1980), the
Guidelines for the Care and Use of Experimental Animals (Canadian Council on Animal
Care), and the Animal Care Policies of the University of Guelph.
Students who are admitted into the Bio-Medical Science major from high school must
meet additional requirements to continue in the major. Continuation from first to second
year is based on the cumulative average in the first two semesters (total of 5.00 credits),
including the eight core courses as prescribed by the Schedule of Studies (see below).
Students with a minimum average of 75% average will be guaranteed continuation in this
major. For students with a 70-74.9% average, continuation will be competitive based on
available spaces. Students with an average below 70% will be changed to the Biological
Science major. Students may subsequently change to another B.Sc. major of their choice.

Human Kinetics (HK)

Department of Human Health and Nutritional Sciences, College of Biological Science
Human Kinetics is concerned with understanding capacities for, and limits of, human
movement at different ages and with the role of physical activity in human health. Through
the use of electives, students may structure a program emphasizing biomechanics and
ergonomics, human population biology or nutrition, exercise and metabolism.
If lacking the fundamentals of word processing, spread sheet use and data management,
the student should select CIS*1200 as early in the program as possible.

B.Sc. students who were not admitted directly into the Human Kinetics major from high
school and subsequently wish to transfer to the specialization must apply directly to the
Department of Human Health and Nutritional Science by the last day of classes in the
winter semester.
To be eligible after first year, applicants must have successfully completed 4.0 science
credits in a B.Sc. specialization with an average of 70% or better in BIOL*1070,
BIOL*1080 and BIOL*1090. For students with a 65-69.9% average in these three courses,
admission to the major will be competitive based on available spaces.
Students wishing to transfer after second year or third year must have an average of 70%
or better in their last two semesters (total of best 4.00 science credits). For students with
a 65-69.9%, admission to the major will be competitive based on available spaces.
All decisions regarding transfers will be made by the end of June.
To complete the major, a minimum of 20.00 credits, of which 16.00 must be from the list
of acceptable science courses, are required.

X. Degree Programs, Bachelor of Science in Agriculture [B.Sc.(Agr.)]
Bachelor of Science in Agriculture [B.Sc.(Agr.)]
Honours Agriculture (AGRS)
The B.Sc.(Agr.) degree program is a 4 year honours science program designed to provide
a fundamental education in the science of agriculture. The curriculum includes courses
in the agricultural sciences, the physical, biological and social sciences, and in the arts.
Departments of Plant Agriculture and Animal and Poultry Science

The Honours Agriculture major combines a core curriculum of agricultural science courses
with a wide range of electives focusing on agri-food business, animal and plant production,
land stewardship and sustainability. This major allows students to create a curriculum
uniquely tailored to their career goals and provides diverse opportunities to explore
international agriculture and leading edge agricultural research in animal production, plant
biotechnology and pest management. The flexibility provided in semesters 5 and 6 permits
students to participate in international exchanges and semesters abroad. Students can also
incorporate a variety of field trips, experiential learning in the workplace and independent
study into their program of studies. The combination of a solid understanding of life
science and current agricultural practice with specialized skills and experience provided
by this program is greatly valued by prospective employers in this essential sector of
Canadas economy.
Program Information
Agricultural scientists must be effective communicators and problem solvers, self-directed
in their learning, and have a global perspective of the agrifood systems. Students will be
involved in co-operative group learning activities and will experience courses that are
multidisciplinary and integrate the teaching activities of many faculty and departments.
Students will have the option of completing a broad agricultural program (honours
agricultural science) or another major in which they take a minimum of 6.00 credits. The
curriculum provides opportunities for students to select courses that will help them prepare
for professional careers as entrepreneurs, scientists, marketing specialists, financial
managers, technical advisors, or communication specialists. Students will have a
comprehensive understanding of the food system when they graduate. They will be able
to integrate their knowledge of production agriculture, environmental management,
resource allocation and business management as it applies to the food system nationally
and globally.
Students will be encouraged to integrate their academic program with a well-planned
series of employment activities in the summer months and to develop their leadership and
interpersonal skills in on-campus and community activities. There is a strong commitment
in the curriculum to the philosophy of "whole person development" and students are
encouraged to identify personal goals that they wish to accomplish in each of these areas
of their development.
Graduates meet the educational requirements for membership in the Ontario Institute of
Agrologists. The Ontario Institute of Agrologists is the professional organization in
agriculture in the Province of Ontario. Professional institutes in the various provinces in
Canada and the scientific societies in agriculture collectively comprise the Agricultural
Institute of Canada. The program received full accreditation from the Agricultural Institute
of Canada in April 2007.
B.Sc.(Agr.) Majors:
Animal Science
Crop, Horticulture and Turfgrass Science
Honours Agricultural Science
Organic Agriculture
Declaration of a Major

Program Information
First Year Curriculum
The Environmental Sciences program is designed to provide a strong interdisciplinary

grounding in specific environmental sciences including the socioeconomic context in
which environmental issues are resolved.
There is an emphasis on management and decision-making skills for the application of
scientific knowledge to environmental problems, and the evaluation of appropriate
environmental policies. A practical perspective based on defining and resolving problems
is central to the program, and this is often done in the context of group work.
Substantial emphasis is placed on communication skills, including the development of
competence in both written and oral presentations. These skills will be progressively
developed in core courses from the first to the fourth year. Students in the final year of
their program will be expected to take part in more intensive communication skill
development. Graduates will seek employment in a range of fields, from government
agencies to private industry and research.
Semester 1
In addition to the common first year curriculum, students are required to take the following

This program provides a solid foundation in the principles of ecology, training in both
pure and applied aspects of ecology and an introduction to economic, legal and policy
issues related to the management of the environment. From the 2nd year on, students
increasingly augment the core in ecology and policy with extensive restricted electives
choices that allow the student to tailor the program to their interests. The major provides
a sound science background for careers in conservation, resource management, ecological
consulting, or nature interpretation used in teaching, government, non-government or the
private sector; or for further post-graduate training in fundamental ecology, environmental
biology and environmental management or policy.

Ecology (ECOL:C)
This program provides a solid foundation in the principles of ecology, training in both
pure and applied aspects of ecology and an introduction to economic, legal and policy
issues related to the management of the environment. From the 2nd year on, students
increasingly augment the core in ecology and policy with extensive restricted electives
choices that allow the student to tailor the program to their interests. The major provides
a sound science background for careers in conservation, resource management, ecological
consulting, or nature interpretation used in teaching, government, non-government or the
private sector; or for further post-graduate training in fundamental ecology, environmental
biology and environmental management or policy.

Environmental Sciences (ENVS)

This major provides a foundation in the life and physical sciences, combined with
economic, legal and policy aspects of environmental issues. Students gain understanding
of environmental processes at the surface of the Earth, where complex interactions
involving soils, rocks, water, air and living organisms regulate ecosystems and provide
life-sustaining resources. Beginning in the second year, students are able to choose from
a range of courses that tailor learning to their individual interests. This major presents
opportunities for hands-on experiential learning in both lab and field, as well as independent
research and study courses. It provides a solid background in the environmental sciences
setting the stage for careers in environmental protection and resource management in both
the public and private sectors.

Department of Economics, College of Business and Economics
College
This major provides the foundation for applying science and economics to environmental
issues to produce effective environmental policy. Students gain an understanding of the
policy tools and market mechanisms for managing our natural resources effectively.
Knowledge and skills learned in this major will enable students to identify, prioritize and
solve environmental problems by integrating both scientific and economic realities.
Equipped with the ability to look at current topics from the perspectives of economics,
politics and environmental sciences, students have a number of interesting career
opportunities in the public and private sectors. At the same time, the major fully prepares
students to move onto graduate programs.

Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.)

Program Information
The University of Guelph offers the degree program Doctor of Veterinary Medicine
(D.V.M.) at the Ontario Veterinary College. The program is offered during the Fall and
Winter semesters only and normally requires four years to complete. The college is
accredited jointly by the Canadian and American Veterinary Medical Association, and
the Royal College of Veterinary Surgeons of Britain. The D.V.M. degree from Guelph is
respected by veterinarians throughout the world.
Students entering the D.V.M. Program prior to Fall 2000 should refer to the
undergraduate calendar for their year of program entry for appropriate course
listings.

1. The graduates should have the knowledge and skills appropriate to their career
orientations and sufficient to allow the pursuit of a variety of careers in veterinary
medicine, including graduate studies. They should be able to pass the examinations
of all Canadian licensing bodies and must possess a fundamental core of academic
veterinary science knowledge and of technical competence.
2. The graduates must be able to solve animal health problems and must have knowledge
of the management of domestic animals and the functioning of the various animal
industries.
3. The graduates must be able to communicate effectively, whether writing scientific
papers or conversing with clients.
4. Through a commitment to continuing education, the graduates must accept the
professional responsibility to stay abreast of new developments and to pursue solutions
to new problems.
5. The graduates must have a genuine concern for the welfare of all animals. The
graduates should be aware of their responsibilities to the profession in terms of ethical
and professional conduct and have an understanding of the moral questions facing
veterinarians.
6. The graduates must have had the opportunity during their university tenure to develop
a range of non-veterinary interests sufficient to equip them to take a responsible role
in society.
Regulations for Licence to Practise

Graduates are eligible to practise in Canada, but the degree in veterinary medicine does
not in itself confer the right to practise. For information on matters relative to licence to
practise in the various provinces of Canada, students should communicate with the
Canadian Veterinary Medical Association, 339 Booth Street, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
K1R 7K1, who will refer them to the appropriate provincial veterinary association.
Admission to the Veterinary Medicine Program

Complete details on admission requirements and procedures are listed in Section
IV--Admission Information.
X. Degree Programs, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.)
Failed Courses
1. Continuation of study from one phase of the D.V.M. Program to the next is dependent
on the successful completion of all courses, or approved equivalents, in the published
schedule of studies for the D.V.M. Program.
2. A student who fails one course in a Phase may be required to repeat all courses in the
Phase. The consequences of failure of any particular course in the D.V.M. Program
are as follows:
a. Failure in any of the following courses result in the Repeat of the Course:
VETM*3000 , VETM*3210, VETM*3390, VETM*3430, VETM*3220,
VETM*3440, VETM*3510, VETM*4220, VETM*4450, VETM*4530,
VETM*4900, VETM*4920, VETM*4930, VETM*4940.
b. Failure in any of the following courses result in the Repeat of the Phase:
VETM*4480, VETM*4490, VETM*4540.
This information is also available as part of the Phase Handbooks.
3. A student will be allowed to fail a particular course only once. Any student who fails
the same course twice will be required to withdraw and will be ineligible for
readmission to the D.V.M. Program.
4. Grades obtained by D.V.M. students who repeat one or more VETM course(s) will
be reported on the transcript in addition to the original course grade. In the instance
where all courses in a Phase are repeated, the grades from the repeated VETM courses
will constitute the new Phase Average (PHA). The new D.V.M. Program Average
will include the grades obtained in both the original and repeated VETM course
attempts.
Supplemental Privileges
1. In the circumstances of a failed course, the Academic Review Sub-Committee may,
if appropriate and under special circumstances only, allow a student the opportunity
to gain credit standing in a failed course by granting a supplemental privilege (see
Failed Courses and Supplemental Privilege in Section VIII). Students must request
a supplemental privilege by submitting the request to the Academic Review
Sub-Committee, and the fee for the privilege, within 7 days of the release of grades
for the phase in which the failure occurred. The Academic Review Sub-Committee,
upon receiving a request from a student, and after consulting with the instructor and
reviewing the student's course performance, will determine whether a supplemental
privilege should be granted.
2. Students will be permitted supplemental privileges in a maximum of two courses over
the entire D.V.M. Program. A supplemental privilege will not be granted for a second
failure in a course. Any student granted a supplemental privilege must meet with the
Associate Dean for Student Affairs who will inform the student of appropriate
resources to be used to deal with his/her academic difficulties.
The Office of the Associate Dean, Students provides academic counselling and referral
to other appropriate resources for all D.V.M. students. In particular, students who are
requesting a Supplemental Privilege are required to meet with the Associate Dean so that
the student can be informed of appropriate resources (such as Learning and Writing
Services and the Counselling and Student Resource Centre) and use them to deal with his
or her academic difficulties.
In order to qualify for graduation from the D.V.M. program, the student must have
completed successfully all of the courses approved for the program. Students will not be
allowed to graduate with a PA of < 60% or PHA of < 60% in Phase 4.
Conditions for Continuation of Study

For supplemental and deferred privileges, all students in the D.V.M. Program are subject
to Deferred Privilege Procedures and Supplemental Privilege Procedures outlined in
Chapter VIII--Undergraduate Degree Regulations and Procedures.
For continuation of study, a student must satisfy the conditions presented below. In order
to graduate, students must fulfill the course requirements for the program and have achieved
at least a 60% Program Average (PA). The Academic Review Sub-Committee will assess
all cases where a student's academic progress does not meet the Continuation of Study
requirements and will interpret the academic regulations. The requirements will be applied
with due consideration to the credit weights of the course, the role of the course in the
Phase and the degree of integration of the course with concurrently required courses, and
in light of the student's particular circumstances (see VIII--Undergraduate Degree
Regulations and Procedures).
Full-time Study
The D.V.M. program is offered as a full-time program and normally requires four years
(over the equivalent of eight academic semesters at the University of Guelph) to complete.
In exceptional extenuating circumstances, the Academic Review Sub-Committee may
allow a student to take courses on a part-time basis. In these instances, the Academic
Review Sub-Committee has the discretion to select the courses that the student will register
in on a part-time basis. Students permitted to take courses on a part-time basis are cautioned
that there is an enrolment limitation for the program and that access to certain courses or
resumption of the program on a full-time basis will be conditional on the availability of
space.
Voluntary Withdrawal from the Program

Students who have voluntarily withdrawn from the D.V.M. program and who wish to
return must give notice to the Associate Dean, Students O.V.C of their intention to return
by May 31 if they wish to return in September of the upcoming academic year. Students
contemplating a withdrawal from the program are cautioned that there is an enrolment
limitation for the program and that re-entry will be conditional on the availability of space.
The Program Committee reserves the right to select the quota from among th e qualified
applicants.
Estimate of Expenses
Attention is drawn to Section VI--Schedule of Fees for information on tuition, University
student organizations and rabies immunization required for all students in the program.
In addition, while the college supplies most laboratory equipment, students may wish to
purchase instruments for personal use. Texts, protective clothing, and a minimum of
supplies for personal use may cost approximately $500 per semester.
Health and Safety

Students must follow the health and safety policies required for the various courses in the
veterinary program. Pregnant students and others with increased medical risks should
consult Health Services concerning potential health risks which may occur during the
normal course of their studies.
X. Degree Programs, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine (D.V.M.)

Immunization against rabies is a requirement for admission and continuation in the D.V.M.
Program. Annual rabies titres and booster immunizations (if necessary) are mandatory
for all Program participants. Prospective students and in-course students should contact
Student Health Services (519-824-4120 extension 52131) for further information and
guidance about the rabies surveillance program. Faculty and staff members should contact
Occupational Health Services, extension 52133, for information about medical surveillance
programs provided in accordance with University Safety Policy 851.13.03.
* Students finishing Phase 4 with a PA or PHA > 50% but < 60%, will not be permitted
to graduate. The Academic Review Sub-Committee will establish the appropriate
remediation requirements that must be fulfilled in order for the student to obtain the
standing of Eligible to Graduate. These may include repeating a component of a course,
one or more entire courses, or one or more clinical rotations.
** Students finishing Phase 4 with a PA and PHA 60% and having satisfied all course

Schedule 5 (D.V.M. Continuation of Study)
Schedule of Studies
Phase 1
Students admitted to the DVM in Fall 2008 or beyond follow Schedule 5.

Continuation of Study is assessed on the student's D.V.M. Program Average (not the
University Cumulative Average) and according to the policy on failures as stated above.
In Phase 2 and beyond, eligibility to continue is also assessed at the end of each Phase
using the Phase Average (PHA). Courses that are given a grade of Pass or Fail do not
affect either the PA or PHA because they are not attached to any numerical grade.
Students required to repeat a Phase must achieve the required PA of > 60% by the end of
the repeated Phase. If a student does not achieve the required standing by the end of the
repeated Phase, he or she will normally be required to withdraw from the program.
The required averages are as follows:

Co-operative Education Programs

Co-operative Education (Co-op), delivered in concert with employer partners, constitutes
part of the students formal education and is available in over 35 majors for students. A
form of work integrated learning, Co-op is a model of education that integrates a students
academic learning with periods of paid workplace learning in fields relevant to the students
academic and personal/professional goals. The academic and work schedules will vary
with degree program and major. The first co-op work term is scheduled after the third or
fourth academic semester, providing an academic foundation on which to build the work
experience.
Each work term is developed in collaboration with the employer and is approved by the
institution as a suitable learning environment. Students participate in a competitive
employment process to secure an approved co-op work term that is relevant to the students
area of academic study. COOP*1100 Introduction to Co-operative Education, a
mandatory, non-credit course, is a prerequisite for the first work term and prepares the
student for the employment process.
The students performance in the workplace is supervised and evaluated by the students
employer using the Work Performance Evaluation tool. The students progress during the
work term is also monitored by Co-operative Education & Career Services, including an
official site visit during the co-op work term and a review of the students official Learning
Goals. A Co-op Work Term Report is required for each work term and is graded by an
assigned Co-op Faculty Advisor. All evaluation grades will appear on the students official
transcript.
The University of Guelph Co-operative Education program is accredited by the Canadian
Association for Co-operative Education (CAFCE), therefore standardized guidelines
regarding co-op work terms will be followed at all times.
Co-operative Education & Career Services (CECS) supports, trains and leads students
and alumni as they make career and further education planning decisions. Successful
students connect with CECS early in their academic career and take full advantage of the
career planning and job search services offered. CECS will help students to discern what
to do with their degree. As well, the CECS job posting service, Recruit Guelph, provides
online job postings including full-time, part-time, contract, seasonal, summer and
internships. Job & Career Fairs and employer networking events also provide exposure
to the working world. Please refer to www.recruitguelph.ca for more information.
Admission Information
Normally students are admitted to a Co-operative Education program directly from high
school in the Fall semester through Admission Services. For a complete listing of
University of Guelph admission requirements please refer to www.uoguelph.ca/admissions.
Some programs may admit a small number of in-course students after first or second
semester. Please refer to the schedule of dates in the Undergraduate Calendar for in-course
application deadlines. The decision to admit an in-course student is dependent upon
space in the program, the grades of the student, the approved Academic & Work Sequence
Agreement, and any other information relevant to the program.
Eligibility
High school students must have a minimum average of 80% to apply to the co-op program.
Once accepted to the University of Guelph, the student must maintain a 70% cumulative
average in the first 2 semesters (full-time study) in order to continue in the co-op program.
Transfer students must meet normal admission requirements, as well as complete one
academic semester at Guelph and achieve a minimum 70% cumulative average prior to
participating in the co-op employment process. An academic and work schedule must
also be approved prior to the student being accepted into the co-op program.
X. Degree Programs, Co-operative Education Programs

Students also grant permission to Co-operative Education & Career Services to release
their resumes, cover letters and any transcripts released by the Registrar's Office to
prospective employers to whom the students are applying. Employment information, the
Co-op Work Term Performance Evaluation grade, and the Co-op Work Term Report
Evaluation grade will appear on the student's official academic transcript.
Procedures for Work Semester Reports

A Work Report is required for each Co-op Work Term in which the student is registered.
Work Reports are graded by the Co-op Faculty Advisor and must be submitted to the
Co-op Faculty Advisor according to the deadline indicated in the Undergraduate Calendar.
Students completing two consecutive Co-op Work Terms with the same employer should
consult with their Co-op Faculty Advisor regarding Co-op Work Report requirements for
eight-month Co-op Work Terms. A grade of Outstanding, Very Good, Good, Satisfactory,
or Unsatisfactory will appear on the student's Academic Record.
A student who does not submit a Co-op Work Report will be required to withdraw from
Co-op. A student who receives an Unsatisfactory Co-op Work Report Evaluation will be
given one opportunity to make revisions and resubmit the report during the semester
following the work term. Students who are resubmitting a Co-op Work Report within the
prescribed timeline will not be eligible to proceed to the next employment process until
receiving a grade of Satisfactory or higher on the report. If, upon resubmission, the Work
Report Evaluation is still Unsatisfactory, the student will be required to withdraw from
Co-op and may continue in the regular program if available.
Confidential Work Term Reports are not permitted.

In order to graduate, co-op students must follow the conditions for graduation for their
degree program as outlined in the Undergraduate Calendar. In addition, students must
receive evaluations of Good or higher in all but one Work Performance Evaluations and
an evaluation of Satisfactory or higher in all Work Report Evaluations. Students must
also have all co-op fees, including eight full-time academic semesters and all work terms,
paid prior to receiving co-op certification.
Students wanting to graduate with less than the required number of co-op work terms
must contact their Co-op Co-ordinator with the request. As the University of Guelph co-op
program is accredited by the The Canadian Association for Co-operative Education
(CAFCE), standardized guidelines regarding co-op work terms will be followed at all
times.
Co-op Fees
Students in Co-op are required to pay a co-op fee for eight academic semesters and all
co-op work terms (see Section VI--Schedule of Fees). Students who enter Co-op in-course
will have an altered payment schedule to be discussed upon admission. There is no
application fee.
Upon accepting a second work term the student is required to pay fees for the balance of
their remaining academic semesters as outlined on their Academic & Work Sequence
Agreement regardless of continuance in Co-op.
Schedule of Studies
Students entering the co-op program are advised to carefully review the schedule of studies
for the degree programs offering a Co-operative Education program. Normally students
must follow the prescribed academic/work sequence. If, under exceptional circumstances,
the schedule cannot be followed, the student must obtain written approval of an alternative
academic/work sequence from the assigned Co-op Faculty Advisor and/or Program
Counsellor and submit the form to Co-operative Education & Career Services for final
approval. In unusual circumstances the Director of CECS may be involved in the approval
process.
Students are required to meet a continuation requirement at the end of semester two.
Students will be allowed to continue in the co-op program if their cumulative average,
over 4.0 credits, is 70% or higher after two full-time academic semesters. Students are
also required to meet the conditions for continuation of study for their degree program as
listed in the Undergraduate Calendar. In addition, all students must satisfactorily complete
COOP*1100 - Introduction to Co-operative Education in the semester scheduled.
It is mandatory that co-op students be registered full-time for the duration of their program
as outlined in the schedule of studies listed in the Undergraduate Calendar. Co-op students
are also required to meet other conditions, (e.g. satisfactory work term reports, work
performance evaluations and Learning Goals) in order to continue in the co-op program.
Complete conditions for continuation of study for a co-op program are outlined in the
Policy Agreement for Student Involvement in Co-operative Education. The complete
policy can be viewed at http://www.recruitguelph.ca/cecs/co-op/co-op-policy-agreement.
Release of Academic Information

By applying to the Co-op program, students grant permission to the Registrar's Office to
release to Co-operative Education & Career Services their University of Guelph transcript
and any transcript from other post-secondary institutions that may be part of the Academic
Record held by the Registrar's Office.

Advanced Risk Analysis
Co-operative Education (Co-op), delivered in concert with employer partners, constitutes
part of the students formal education and is available in over 35 majors for students. A
form of work integrated learning, Co-op is a model of education that integrates a students
academic learning with periods of paid workplace learning in fields relevant to the students
academic and personal/professional goals. The academic and work schedules will vary
with degree program and major. The first co-op work term is scheduled after the third or
fourth academic semester, providing an academic foundation on which to build the work
experience.
Each work term is developed in collaboration with the employer and is approved by the
institution as a suitable learning environment. Students participate in a competitive
employment process to secure an approved co-op work term that is relevant to the students
area of academic study. COOP*1100 Introduction to Co-operative Education, a
mandatory, non-credit course, is a prerequisite for the first work term and prepares the
student for the employment process.
The students performance in the workplace is supervised and evaluated by the students
employer using the Work Performance Evaluation tool. The students progress during the
work term is also monitored by Co-operative Education & Career Services, including an
official site visit during the co-op work term and a review of the students official Learning
Goals. A Co-op Work Term Report is required for each work term and is graded by an
assigned Co-op Faculty Advisor. All evaluation grades will appear on the students official
transcript.
The University of Guelph Co-operative Education program is accredited by the Canadian
Association for Co-operative Education (CAFCE), therefore standardized guidelines
regarding co-op work terms will be followed at all times.
Course requirements and academic/work sequences for specific majors are listed under
the appropriate degree program in Section X--Degree Programs
Co-operative Education & Career Services (CECS) supports, trains and leads students
and alumni as they make career and further education planning decisions. Successful
students connect with CECS early in their academic career and take full advantage of the
career planning and job search services offered. CECS will help students to discern what
to do with their degree. As well, the CECS job posting service, Recruit Guelph, provides
online job postings including full-time, part-time, contract, seasonal, summer and
internships. Job & Career Fairs and employer networking events also provide exposure
to the working world. Please refer towww.recruitguelph.ca for more information.
Co-operative Education Guidelines and Procedures

The following guidelines and procedures support the implementation of the Policy on
Co-operative Education Programming in Undergraduate Degree Programs, approved by

professional growth. Students with a 70% average or higher should consider and investigate
these options, beginning no later than their third undergraduate year. Decisions regarding
the desired area of study and pursuit of scholarship support require forethought and
planning. Information, and counselling are available through the graduate coordinators
of each department/school. Further information on graduate programs may be found in

modelled on an interdisciplinary approach to the topic or subject area.
Courses with an interdisciplinary approach and content are listed in Section XII under the
following headings: Humanities, Physical Science, and Social Science as well as
Interdisciplinary University Courses.
The following list of specializations is not intended to represent all the university's
interdisciplinary initiatives. Instead it identifies those specializations that involve a
significant degree of collaboration between departments or colleges. For further details,

Bachelor of Arts
Environmental Studies (Minor)
European Studies
Information Systems & Human Behaviour
Bachelor of Arts and Sciences

to a Bachelor of Arts and Sciences (B.A.S.) degree.
The Bachelor of Arts & Sciences program is designed for students who are motivated
equally by the study of Arts/Social Sciences and the Sciences, and who find challenge
and satisfaction in testing the traditional boundaries of study through undergraduate level
interdisciplinary work. The program meets these objectives through a unique structure
that accredits students in an Arts/Social Sciences core, a Sciences core, a Subject Area
core of interdisciplinary humanities and sciences courses (ASCI*), and a minor in each
of the Arts/Social Sciences and the Sciences (see below for choices of minors). The
structure of the program ensures disciplinary rigour and breadth through completion of
core requirements for a B.A.S. degree, concentration in two distinct minors, and
concentration of learning in an academic cohort of B.A.S. students through the
interdisciplinary ASCI courses in the B.A.S. core. This core is open only to students in
the B.A.S. program. For more information please see: http://www.uoguelph.ca/bas/

General Information
Course Labelling and Levels
Each course is identified by a two-part code. The first part of the code refers to the subject
area, the second to the level of the course. Thus, the course PSYC*3570 is a course in the
subject area of Psychology (PSYC*XXXX), and is of a level that places it among courses
in the 3000 series. The series 1000, 2000, 3000 and 4000 numbers are intended to indicate
progressively more demanding content, and correspondingly increasing competence on
the part of the students enrolled in the course. Courses in the 1000 series are mainly for
first year students, those in the 2000 series are mainly for second year students, and those
in the 3000 series are for third year students. Similarly, courses in the 4000 series are
mainly intended to be taken by students in the fourth year of honours programs. It is
important that students planning their courses have clearly in mind the significance of
these numbers so that they may guard against undertaking course work at levels for which
they are insufficiently prepared. A two-semester course (e.g. AGR*2351/2) is taken over
2 continuous semesters and counts as 1 course attempt per semester for classification,
continuation of study and calculation of fees. Two-semester courses cannot be split.
Course Information
The letters S, F, W indicate the University's intention to offer the course in the Summer
(S), Fall (F) or Winter (W) semester during the academic year covered by this Calendar.
Although courses normally will be offered in the semester indicated, students preparing
their course programs are advised to consult the Undergraduate Course Timetable. The
University cannot guarantee that all courses will be offered in the exact semester indicated.
The letter U indicates that an intended offering has not been assigned to the course.
Students should consult the Undergraduate Course Timetable posted on WebAdvisor
<https://webadvisor.uoguelph.ca/> or contact the departments offering those courses to
determine the semester offerings.
The figures in parentheses ( ) following the semester designation are a general guide to
the lecture and laboratory contact hours per week, the first digit being the number of
lecture hours and the second, the number of laboratory hours. The credit weight for each
course appears in brackets [ ]. A credit weight of [0.50] indicates 10-12 student effort
hours, including class time, on academic tasks associated with the course.
Detailed course descriptions are maintained at the office of the department offering the
course. Some courses, designated "Experiential Learning" courses in the Calendar
description, are deliberately designed to accommodate the need to grant academic credit
for experiential learning external to regular courses, in such contexts as co-operative
education, field observation/job shadowing, internship/externships, practical, service
learning, or work study (and other approved experience). Prior approval for admission to
these courses must be obtained from the department and instructor concerned.
Course Prerequisites
In lists of course prerequisites, "or" conditions are spelled out explicitly, but "and"
conditions are indicated with a comma "," . For example: "CSTU*2270, FRHD*2010,
NUTR*2010" means "CSTU*2270 and FRHD*2010 and NUTR*2010". A number of
courses have stated prerequisites which are prior requirements for entry to the course.
Students who do not satisfy course prerequisites, or who in the opinion of the instructor
do not possess an equivalent background to that of the stated prerequisites, are not eligible
to enroll in the course. When some specific background is desirable but not required, the
course description will include a statement of recommended background. It is understood
that the instructor may accept equivalent courses from other institutions in place of the
stated prerequisites. Students who wish to enroll in courses for which they do not have
the stated prerequisite(s) must obtain instructor approval as outlined in Section VIII,
Undergraduate Degree Regulations and Procedures, in this Calendar.
Course Equates and Restrictions

Equates - Equate indicates a course identical to the one under which it is listed. The
course may have been re-numbered or may be cross-listed under two subject areas.
Students will not be permitted to register in equated courses.
Restrictions - A restriction is a "rule" that is placed on the computer system (Colleague)
at the direction of an academic department so that particular students may not register in
particular courses. The course may be restricted because there is sufficient over-lap in
content with another course so that it is inappropriate for the student to take a similar
course for credit. In a different instance, the course may be restricted by "Instructor
Consent" so that the student must discuss the special requirements of the course with the
instructor before enrolling. Or, alternatively, the restriction may reflect a "Priority Access"
designation for enrolment management purposes. (See Priority Access).

turn - shaped much of 20th century philosophy in English-speaking countries. This
course will critically examine the original movement, some attempts to apply its ideas
in various areas such as epistemology, ethics and philosophy of mind, and some ideas

VETM*4530 Health Management III P3 (V-V) [0.50]
The course will contribute to students' achievement of greater depth in selected elements
of graduating competency in the context of health management in species of their choice.
The primary emphasis is directed towards developing species-specific skills, knowledge
and attitudes that will permit the entry-level veterinarian to assess and advise on animal
production and performance and evaluate the necessity for, and implementation of, health
management programs. The course is constructed of a series of species-based modules.
Students will be required to take two of the modules. The graduating competencies can
be found on the OVC website (http://www.ovcnet.uoguelph.ca/homepage/html).
VETM*4540 Surgical Exercises P3 (V-V) [1.75]
Veterinary students receive training in preoperative planning, anaesthesia and surgical
techniques, operative room decision making and post-operative care in this laboratory
course. Students begin by practicing technical skills on inanimate models. They progress
to performing a series of supervised operations designed to parallel the most commonly
performed surgeries in private practice. A once weekly rounds period allows discussion
of issues arising from the previous anaesthesia and surgery, and planning for the upcoming
laboratory. Though some didactic material is presented, the course is mainly experiential.
The evaluation outcome of the course is outstanding, pass or fail.
