UofC " This Is Now

A student wishing to complete more than the normal load of two and one half full-course equivalents per term must receive special permission from the office of the Associate Dean (Undergraduate Programs), Haskayne School of Business.

1. Registration in commerce courses will be limited to students registered in the Haskayne School of Business with the exception of courses described in the Minor in Management and Society program and selected Entrepreneurship and Innovation courses.

2. In selecting courses, students must take cognizance of prerequisites for each course. Only with the written permission of the Associate Dean (Undergraduate Programs), Haskayne School of Business, upon the recommendation of the area chair and instructor of the course, will stated prerequisites be waived. Permission is only granted under exceptional circumstances. However, should a student fail to achieve satisfactory standing in any course for which the stated prerequisite(s) is (are) lacking, he/she may be required to successfully complete the stated prerequisite(s) prior to being permitted to repeat the course.

3. Students are not permitted to register in courses when less than a "C-" grade or equivalent was received in a prerequisite course.

For the purpose of satisfying breadth requirements in the Bachelor of Commerce or Bachelor of Hotel and Resort Management degree programs, the business school has classified specific non-Haskayne subjects into clusters. The clusters include both subjects offered at the University of Calgary and subjects that may have been awarded for coursework completed at other institutions prior to a student's admission or while on a Letter of Permission following admission.

Notwithstanding a listing on the table below, there is no obligation on the part of the Faculty offering the subject to allow registration. In selecting non-Haskayne options, students are cautioned that not all courses falling under a listed subject may be acceptable towards their program or available for registration. Program regulations, course enrolment restrictions and requisites may all impact a student's ability to register and/or use a particular course towards fulfillment of a business program requirement. To ensure appropriate course selection, students are strongly encouraged to discuss their course choices with advisors in the office of the Associate Dean (Undergraduate Programs), Haskayne School of Business, and review program requirements on the web-based degree audit and academic planning tool, Degree Navigator.

Students are referred to the Undergraduate Admissions section of this Calendar for University regulations on obtaining course credits by special assessment (see A.19.5).

Application must be made on the form headed "Credit by Special Assessment" and signed by the Associate Dean (Undergraduate Programs). Students will be considered in light of their background and the program regulations.

A course previously failed or one in which a higher grade is sought may not be taken subsequently by special assessment, nor may any course be attempted more than once in this way. No more than two full-course equivalents completed by special assessment may be counted towards a degree.

A student is entitled to withdraw from any course up to and including the last day for withdrawals as indicated in the current Academic Schedule.

Students will not be permitted to withdraw more than once from a particular course. Students will be required to withdraw if they have accumulated a total of more than five full-course equivalent withdrawals while in attendance at the University of Calgary.

A student may repeat a course previously attempted (excluding withdrawals) only once. This regulation applies not only to individual courses, but also to sets of courses where it is stated that credit for more than one of the sets is not allowed. To repeat a course more than once will require the permission of the Haskayne School of Business and the department offering the course. Permission is only granted under exceptional circumstances.

Students who unsuccessfully repeat a course that is required for graduation will be dismissed from the business school.
