V. Minor Programs
The University offers undergraduate students an opportunity to broaden and complement their programs of study by completing the requirements for a Minor. A Minor program can be a University interdisciplinary Minor or one offered through a faculty or department.
- Undergraduate students interested in pursuing a Minor Program should consult with their academic advisor to determine if a Minor will be permitted and to discuss its relation to their program of study. Normally, a minor is declared at the time of application to graduate. The academic unit responsible for the minor will approve completion for graduation purposes.
- A Minor can be taken only in conjunction with a degree program and must be completed while the student is qualifying for the degree. Successful completion of the Minor will be recorded on the student's transcript of record. The same procedure must be followed for each successive Minor.
- A Minor shall consist of eight term courses or the equivalent (a minimum of 24 credit hours). Minor requirements are outline in the Undergraduate Calendar. The student must achieve a grade of "C" or better in each course for it to be counted as part of the Minor. Compulsory or required courses in a student's degree program normally may not form part of the Minor. Academic units may recommend alternate courses in this scenario.
- A student who has completed a Minor located in one degree program may apply to and, if admitted, enter a second degree program to obtain a second bachelor's degree. Such a student could obtain the Majors or Honours designation in the same field as the Minor if the requirements are completed successfully under the regulations governing a "Second Undergraduate Bachelor's Degree".
