Reappraisal of Academic Assessments (Final Grades)
Students enrolled in SAPL graduate credentials must request a Reappraisal of Academic Assessments (Final Grades) within 5 business days of the start of the subsequent term.
Reappraisal of Academic Assessments (Final Grades) in SAPL graduate credentials must be completed at least one day before the drop date of the subsequent semester.
Advanced Credit
A student may apply for advanced credit for previous courses that have not been used to satisfy the requirements of any other degree or diploma program. See Advanced Credit.
Course Exemptions: Students registered in a graduate degree program may receive an exemption from a specific course if they can demonstrate successful completion of an equivalent course. To be eligible for an exemption, the student must provide original transcripts, course outlines and samples of course assignments which will be assessed for academic equivalency. Courses for which exemptions are being sought must be from a recognized institution, and they must be graded courses with a minimum grade of "B-". Students granted an exemption from a course may be required to take another, equally-weighted, course to satisfy credit-hour requirements for their program.
Flexible Grade Option (CG Grade)
Students admitted to the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape will not be allowed to request the Flexible Grade Option (CG Grade) for any course that is applicable to their degree; or apply any course awarded a grade of CG towards their graduation requirements.
Students may choose the Flexible Grade Option (CG Grade) for courses outside of SAPL that permit the CG Grade and are taken extra to load.
The use of the CG grade will affect students' eligibility for internal awards.
Additional Requirements
A laptop computer is required for all course-based degree programs in the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape. Further information pertaining to specifications will be sent out to newly-admitted students in the summer term prior to the commencement of their studies.
Attendance at orientation for first year students is required.
Credit for Undergraduate Courses
Only undergraduate courses numbered 500-599 may be considered for graduate-level credit and are subject to approval by the Associate Dean (Planning and Landscape).
Time Limits
Students are expected to enroll on a full-time basis and complete the degree requirements within two registration years (excluding the Foundation Year). Maximum completion time is six registration years. See Time Limits.
Financial assistance may be available to highly qualified students but cannot be guaranteed. For information on admission and academic awards, see the Awards and Financial Assistance section of this calendar, the SAPL website and the Awards Database on the Faculty of Graduate Studies website.
