What it Takes to Succeed...

The program is challenging and sets a high standard of academic rigour. Our goal is to provide the support you need to achieve these standards but you must be prepared to:

  • Dedicate study time necessary to achieve grade requirements in University Level courses - you must achieve a 65% average overall in the Environmental Science I course in Semester 1 in order to progress to Semester 2
  • Achieve a 65% average overall in University Level courses across Year 1 and Year 2 in order to progress to Year 3
  • Participate fully in field course activities and team-based projects (which may extend beyond regular class time)
  • Take control of your learning by recognizing if you need help and taking advantage of opportunities to access assistance

Academic Progression

To progress successfully to semester 2 of the joint program, students must achieve a 65% grade in the semester 1 courses Environmental Science I and Critical Thinking and Communication.

In order to progress to year 3 of the program, students must pass (50%) all courses and achieve a 70% overall program average in years 1 and 2.

  • Environmental Science I & II
  • Math I & II
  • Introductory Chemistry I & II
  • Introduction to Ecology
  • Introduction to Plant Community Systematics
  • Indigenous Environmental Studies I & II
  • Methods in Environmental Science
  • Readings in Environment and Restoration
  • Restoration Ecology Field Camp

Note that credit given for Fleming courses does not include BIOL-ERSC 2260H; however, students will be given access to 3000-level and 4000-level courses that list it as a prerequisite.
