Regulations Pertaining to Minors

Minors

The following regulations pertain to minors:

  1. Reference to a student’s ‘minor’ will not appear on a student’s official transcript until the student has successfully met the requirements of the degree.

  2. The diploma issued to a student after graduation will indicate the program of study for the degree (major) and not the minor completed by the student.

  3. A student’s enrolment period to graduate can be extended for the purpose of completing a minor. Therefore, it is acceptable to postpone graduation in order to complete the minor requirements.

  4. Priority for course registration will not be given for courses required in the minor.

  5. Applications for reading courses will not be considered to complete the requirements of a minor. Student applications for Letters of Permission to complete the minor may be considered by the University Registrar.

  6. A minor cannot be completed after a degree has been conferred. A minor must be completed while a student is qualifying for a degree program.

  7. A core or compulsory course applied to the requirements for the major may not be applied to the requirements for the minor. Cross-listed courses would be considered the exception if the course(s) has not been used to satisfy the program requirements.

  8. Students who have completed a minor will be considered for admission to a second degree program in an honours or four-year degree program.

  9. Students who are applying for a certificate program in conjunction with a degree program will not be able to apply for a ‘minor’ in that discipline.

  10. Students interested in pursuing more than one ‘minor’ program must receive permission from the University Registrar. All regulations will apply.
