Continuation of Study

The continuation of study for Associate Diploma Programs (Schedule 3) applies to all students who register in Diploma Programs at the University of Guelph and is based on the number of credits attempted.

Schedule 3

Credits granted towards an Associate Diploma for courses completed at other institutions, or in other programs of the University are included in the credit count for continuation of study.

Students who have attempted between 0.25 and 3.00 credits:

Students who have attempted between 0.25 and 3.00 credits will be allowed to continue regardless of the cumulative average. Students will be placed on probation if their cumulative average falls below 60%.
