Overall standing

1. A grade point average is calculated as follows: the grade points earned in each full credit course and one-half the grade points earned in each half-credit course are added together and this total is divided by the number of full credits taken.
2. A sessional grade point average is calculated on the basis of all courses taken in a given session (Summer, Fall, Winter) having a grade point value.
3. A cumulative grade point average is calculated on the basis of all courses taken having a grade point value.
4. An annual grade point average is calculated on the basis of all courses taken in the Fall/Winter Sessions (September-May) having a grade point value. This is provided for information only and is not used for the assessment of academic status.
5. Sessional and cumulative grade point averages are calculated at the end of each session and included on the student's academic record and transcript.

Note: The following rules apply to all students except visiting students whose academic status is not assessed or as indicated in "Determination of academic status for students admitted on condition", "Determination of academic status for students re-enrolling at the University of Toronto Scarborough" and "Determination of academic status for students in the Certificate Program in Business" below.
Academic status will be determined as follows for students who have attempted at least three full credits since beginning their studies at the University of Toronto Scarborough or in other arts and science divisions of the University. It is determined at the end of each Session.

1. In good standing
   Students who maintain a cumulative grade point average of 1.60 or better are said to be "in good standing".
2. On probation
   • Students who have attempted at least three full credits and have a cumulative GPA of less than 1.60 are placed on probation.
   • Students returning from suspension (see 5 below and any provision in previous rules) shall be placed on probation again.
3. Probation cleared
   Students may clear probation by achieving a cumulative GPA of 1.60 or better. Students who have cleared probation shall be said to be again "in good standing".
4. Probation continued
   Students may continue on probation by achieving a sessional grade point average of at least 1.60 in each session until such time as they return to good standing.
5. Suspended or refused further registration
   Students who, by the end of a given session, have not either cleared probation or achieved a sessional grade point average of at least 1.60 shall be liable for suspension or refusal of further registration as follows, regardless of the number of credits taken in the session:
   • Students who have incurred no previous suspension will be suspended for four months (one session).
   • Students who have previously incurred a four-month (one-session) suspension will be suspended for twelve months (three sessions).
   • Students who have previously incurred a twelve-month (three-session) suspension will be suspended for thirty-six months (nine sessions).
   • Students who have previously incurred a thirty-six month (nine-session) suspension will be refused further registration.

1. Students placed on probation are required to take a course load that does not exceed 2.0 full credits per session.
   • Upon notification of probation, students enrolled in future sessions must drop all courses above the 2.0 full credits maximum. Failure to do so within 7 days of notification will result in withdrawal from all courses. Students who successfully petition to re-enrol back in to the appropriate course load are subject to a late registration fee.
   • Students who are allowed to continue on probation because they have achieved a sessional grade point average of at least 1.60 may take a normal course load.
2. While on probation, students must meet with an advisor to discuss the reasons which led to the probation and to plan strategies to improve academic performance. (A list of appropriate advisors is available at www.utsc.utoronto.ca/registrar).

1. The academic requirements that such students must meet are the same as those required of students who encounter academic difficulties while registered in the university, including course load restrictions. The academic status will remain, "On Probation," until the student has completed 3.0 credit attempts, at which time a further status will be assigned.
   
2. Students admitted on probation who achieve a cumulative GPA of 1.60 or higher at that point will be In Good Standing.
3. Students whose cumulative GPA is below 1.60 at that point will remain on probation and be subject to the rules regarding academic standing, including probation.
4. Students who are admitted on probation are urged to seek advice on course selection and study methods from the Academic Advising & Career Centre.
   

Students who have studied at other institutions since their last registration at University of Toronto Scarborough must arrange for official transcripts of other post-secondary studies to be sent to the University of Toronto Scarborough upon application for re-enrolment. Performance in courses taken elsewhere (including other divisions of the University of Toronto) will be taken into consideration in determining whether to approve the application and whether to make any change in the student's academic status. Students who study at other universities without prior permission from University of Toronto Scarborough are unlikely to be eligible for transfer credit for such study. See also the section "Study at other universities".

Academic status is determined at the end of each session as follows for all students who have completed at least two full credits since beginning their studies:

1. In good standing
   Students who maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.00 are said to be in good standing.
2. Refused further registration
   Students who, at the end of a given session, have not achieved a cumulative GPA of at least 2.00 or better are refused further registration in the Certificate Program.

Final grades and academic standing are made available through ROSI. Grades are available as soon as they have been submitted and approved. Academic standing is available in September, January and May. Grade reports are sent only to students who are on academic probation, suspended or refused further registration.

Courses taken for credit by degree students while registered at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Arts and Science or at the University of Toronto at Mississauga are normally included in University of Toronto Scarborough grade point averages, as are all University of Toronto courses taken for credit while registered at University of Toronto Scarborough. Courses taken while registered at other institutions or other divisions of the University of Toronto are not normally included in grade point averages.
