* Students with a B.A. or B.Sc. who return to upgrade that
degree to an Hon. B.A. or Hon. B.Sc. may
exchange the B.A. or B.Sc. for an Honours degree. A B.A. leads only to an Hon.
B.A.; a B.A. CANNOT be
upgraded to an Hon. B.Sc., and a B.Sc. CANNOT be upgraded to an Hon. B.A. Five
courses taken towards
one degree may, on petition, be counted towards a different degree (see below
under `Second Degree'
Requirements).
Different degree regulations apply to students who first registered in the
Faculty before Winter
Session 1992; these students should consult their College Registrar.
Students who expect to graduate at the end of a given session must notify their
College Registrars in writing
or use the student telephone service to make their degree requests by the dates
specified in the Calendar.
Prospective graduands should receive the following documents from the
University:
1. a Program of Study Assessment form (late April/late August)
from the program sponsor;
2. a letter from the Office of Statistics, Records and Convocation
providing details of the convocation
ceremony (late March/mid-October);
3. a Statement of Results (or letter for non-registered students)
from the Office of the Faculty Registrar
confirming degree eligibility (early June/early September).
Students beginning a second degree are normally exempted from the first year of
the degree requirements
by being granted five (5.0) credits, four 100-level and one 200-level,
regardless of the number of previous
degrees held. Students who already hold a degree from the Faculty of Arts and
Science or from Scarborough
College may complete a second degree only of an alternate type (i.e. if a
student has a B.A. degree then he/
she may not complete a second B.A. degree).
NOTE: In biological and science programs there may be occasions when scientific
observations are made by students on
themselves or on fellow students. These include common diagnostic or
immunization procedures. Unless a valid reason ex-
ists, students are expected to participate in such exercises. If any
investigative work involving student participation does not
form part of the program, participation is voluntary
