(a) Students are considered to be in good standing if they achieve a GPA of at least 2.30 over all courses taken since their previous review.

(b) Students are placed on academic probation if they achieve a GPA of at least 2.00 but less than 2.30 over all courses taken since their previous review and have not been on academic probation in the last five years. University regulations permit students to be on probation only once during their degree. Students who fail to meet this requirement will be required to withdraw from the BSW program.

(c) Students are required to withdraw from the Faculty of Social Work if they achieve a GPA less than 2.00 over all courses taken since their previous review.

Students admitted after having been required to withdraw from the University or another post-secondary institution will be admitted on probation and must maintain a grade point average of at least 2.30 in every academic review period after readmission. Failure to do so will result in permanent dismissal.

Students who fail or withdraw from a field practicum course (Social Work 590) will fail or be required to withdraw from the corequisite course (Social Work 592). In addition, the student may be required to withdraw from the program. Students may register in practicum courses a maximum of two times as per 3.2.7.

The University of Calgary, located in the heart of Southern Alberta, both acknowledges and pays tribute to the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, which include the Blackfoot Confederacy (comprised of the Siksika, the Piikani, and the Kainai First Nations), the Tsuut’ina First Nation, and the Stoney Nakoda (including Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Goodstoney First Nations). The city of Calgary is also home to the Métis Nation within Alberta (including Nose Hill Métis District 5 and Elbow Métis District 6).

The University of Calgary is situated on land Northwest of where the Bow River meets the Elbow River, a site traditionally known as Moh’kins’tsis to the Blackfoot, Wîchîspa to the Stoney Nakoda, and Guts’ists’i to the Tsuut’ina. On this land and in this place we strive to learn together, walk together, and grow together “in a good way.”
