Failed Year


A student who is in second, third or fourth year and who for the first time obtains a weighted average at the end of the academic year in the range of 50-59% shall be considered to have failed the year.

This adjudication comment will apply to any courses taken during the subsequent summer term.

  2. is in a year of the program subsequent to the first year and
  3. fails to obtain a weighted average of at least 50% at the end of the academic year, or
  4. has failed for a second time to obtain a weighted average of at least 60% at the end of the academic year, or
