This section presents the requirements for:
- Bachelor of Architectural Studies (B.A.S.)
The Co-operative Education Option is available with the Bachelor of Architectural Studies.
The Azrieli School of Architecture and Urbanism cooperates with the School for Studies in Art and Culture in offering the B.A. Honours and B.A. General programs in History and Theory of Architecture (see the Art History program section of this Calendar for details).
Academic Performance Evaluation for Bachelor of Architectural Studies
- The Bachelor of Architectural Studies program does not define a Major CGPA. Students are assessed at each Academic Performance Evaluation using their Overall CGPA and the Core minimum defined in 2 below.
- The Architecture Core consists of the following courses: ARCS 1005, ARCS 1105 [1.0], ARCS 2105 [1.5],
ARCS 2106 [1.5], ARCS 3105 [1.5], ARCS 3106 [1.5], ARCS 4105 [1.5], ARCS 4106 [1.5].
- Good Standing requires a grade of C- or better in each course of the Architecture Core.
- Students in Architectural Studies are either in Good Standing or on Academic Warning. Students who satisfy the conditions for Suspension at an Academic Performance Evaluation must leave the Architectural Studies program with the status Ineligible to Return (ITR).
- Students wishing to continue into the professional M.Arch. degree program must have successfully completed the B.A.S. degree program with an Overall CGPA of 7.00 or better.

Course Sequence
In the first, second, and third year of the program, studios must be taken in sequence. In the fourth year, studios may be taken out of sequence, with the permission of the CSPA.
The Architectural Technology courses required in the third and fourth year of the program interact closely with Design Studios and are accompanied by certain co-requisites and prerequisites. This requirement reflects the interrelationship between assignments of Technology courses and Design Studios. Students should consult the course descriptions carefully when planning their registration.
Retention of Work
Keeping a good portfolio is a most important part of architectural education. A portfolio represents a record of the student's progress and design experience over the years, and is an indispensable requirement for any future job application. A portfolio is started in first year and continues to expand until graduation. The School, therefore, requires that each student produce reductions (normally 8 1/2 x 11 inch reproductions, colour or black and white, slides, and/or digital format CD) of his or her work at the end of each term. One copy of the work should be put in the student's portfolio and the other turned in to the instructor for retention in the School's archives. (This facilitates retrospective exhibitions of work, accreditation, publications and any future references for pedagogic purposes.) Original work is the property of the students, but the School retains the right to keep work of merit for up to two years after the date of submission. The School will make every effort to preserve the work in good condition, and will give authorship credit and take care of its proper use.
