University of Toronto at Scarborough students may earn a Bachelor of Arts, a Bachelor of Science or a Bachelor of Business Administration degree. Students may elect to receive a B.A. or a B.Sc. degree after having completed the requirements for a three-year degree or an Honours (four-year) degree. The B.B.A. may only be completed as part of a four-year degree.
Students in their graduating year who intend to take part in the next Convocation must notify the Registrar's Office of their intention either through ROSI's Line or ROSI's Page or on a confirmation of graduation form by February 15 for graduation at the Spring Convocation or by July 31 for graduation at the Fall Convocation.
Degrees are conferred at university convocations,
held twice annually: the Spring Convocation held in June and the
Fall Convocation held late in November. Students who have confirmed
their intention to graduate will be mailed complete information
about the time and arrangements in March for the June Convocation
and in October for the Fall Convocation.
In the context of the degree requirements, the word
"course" refers to one full-course or two half-courses.

Where students use a combination of three programmes
to satisfy the requirements of an Honours degree, in order to
receive a B.Sc., two of the three must be in the sciences. Where
students use two Major programmes to satisfy the requirements
of an Honours degree, in order to receive a B.Sc., one must be
in the sciences. Where students use two minor programmes to satisfy
the requirements of a three year degree, in order to receive a
B.Sc., both must be in the sciences.
For students completing the requirements outlined
in the 1988-89 or the 1979-80 Calendar, the type of degree
is determined by the number of Science credits completed.
University of Toronto at Scarborough students who
have completed at least ten full courses while registered at University
of Toronto at Scarborough or at the University of Toronto's Faculty
of Arts and Science will graduate with high distinction if their
cumulative grade point average is 3.50 or better and will graduate
with distinction if their cumulative grade point average is between
3.20 and 3.49. Other students with a cumulative grade point average
of 3.20 or better will be considered on an individual basis.
Students transferring to the University of Toronto
at Scarborough will be required to complete at least half of their
credits and half of their programme requirements as University
of Toronto at Scarborough students. Students transferring from
other divisions of the University of Toronto are exempt from this
requirement.
Students who have graduated with a three-year degree
may still choose to complete the requirements of the Honours degree.
A second degree will not be conferred but completion of the Honours
degree requirements will be noted on the student's transcript.
Students who upgrade a three-year degree to an Honours degree
may exchange the diploma for an Honours diploma of the same kind,
e.g. a three-year B.A. may only be replaced by an Honours B.A.
diploma. Students who have received a three-year degree and are
in the final year of the Honours degree should notify the Registrar's
Office through ROSI's Line or ROSI's Page or by means of a confirmation
of graduation form by February 15 if they are completing the requirements
in the Fall/Winter Sessions and by July 31 if they are completing
the requirements in the Summer Session.
Students beginning a second degree are normally exempted from first year of the degree requirements by being granted five (5.0) credits, regardless of the number of previous degrees.
Students who hold a B.A., B.B.A. or B.Sc. from the
University of Toronto will be considered for admission to a second
degree programme only of a different type (i.e. students with
a B.A. degree may only complete a B.B.A. or B.Sc. degree). Application
for admission to a second degree programme is made through the
Assistant Registrar-Admissions.
"Special students" are students registered in degree courses at the University of Toronto at Scarborough:
(a) who are not proceeding towards a University of Toronto degree, or (b) who have been admitted on an interim basis and who must meet certain conditions before admission as regular degree students. Except for regulations concerning degree requirements and regulations where special students are specifically exempted, all regulations apply equally to special students and degree students. Where students have been admitted on an interim basis as special students, the conditions of their admission supersede the normal regulations governing academic status.
