What it Takes to Succeed...
The program is challenging and sets a high standard of academic rigor. 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.
