Academic Performance Evaluation for
Mass Communication
Students in Mass Communication are subject to the standard process of Academic Performance Evaluation, with the following additions:
1. Continuation to Second Year in the Mass Communication Program
Continuation to second year in Good Standing requires that students successfully complete at least 5.0 credits, achieve a grade of B- or better in MCOM 1101 and have an Overall CGPA of at least 7.00.
Students who fail to meet these requirements when seeking continuation to 2nd year Mass Communication must leave the program with the status Suspension.
The School also maintains a number of places in second year for students who wish to transfer from Carleton University or elsewhere. These spaces are limited and it may not be possible to grant admission to all applicants. Admission therefore will be on a selective basis with preference given to those candidates who show the highest promise of success. Normally, offers are made to students with an Overall CGPA of 10.00 or better.
2. Continuation in Good Standing at subsequent Academic Performance Evaluations
Continuation in Good Standing at subsequent Academic Performance Evaluations requires the standard minimum Major CGPA and Overall CGPA (see the Academic Regulations section of this Calendar for details).
