The University monitors the student's progress toward a diploma using both the diploma program requirements and the schedule of studies requirements. Students must satisfy the requirements in effect at the time of the initial declaration of a schedule of studies or at the time of any subsequent change in declarations. When diploma program requirements or schedules of studies are altered by the University, a student may elect to satisfy the requirements in effect when the student entered the diploma program. Students wishing to alter the schedule used to monitor their progress should seek assistance from a Program Counsellor (refer to Chapter VII – Academic Advising).
