Academic Matters
Minimum Grades for Program Continuation
Students must maintain an overall average of 70% throughout the program.
If at any checkpoint a student is failing to meet the minimum average required, they will be required to meet with the Graduate Chair and will receive a formal written warning.
A third warning will result in removal from the Graduate Diploma in Accounting program.
Progression Requirements for Program Continuation
To be eligible to graduate from this program, students must complete all courses with a minimum cumulative average of 70% and with no individual grade less than 60%.
Failure to meet this minimum will result in removal from the Diploma program. Students who fail to complete the Graduate Diploma program will not be able to enter directly into the Capstone One of the CPA-PEP, and will have to work with CPA staff to determine their next steps.
CPA Registration Process
CPA Accreditation applies to the specific courses delivered in the Graduate Diploma combined with the Accounting streams in the BMOS program.
Completion of the Graduate Diploma allows graduates to enter directly into Capstone One of the CPA Professional Education Program (PEP).
During Orientation, stdents will complete the CPA Registration Form.
Plagiarism and Other Scholastic Offences
Academic Offences will NOT be tolerated. Students confirmed to have committed an academic offence will be removed from the program effective immediately.
Review the School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies Scholastic Discipline for Graduate Students.
Academic Appeals at the Program Level
Appeals should be discussed with the Graduate Chair and must be initiated within one week of receipt of the grade, exam result, or ruling in question. Before considering an appeal, please consult the policies and regulations on the School of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (SGPS) website.
