Transition Program

The Transition Program was created to provide students who may need more time to adapt to the demanding university curriculum with an immediate opportunity to upgrade their academic standings and to complete missing and/or failed courses.

Space is limited in Transition Program courses, therefore students who are missing courses or who are required to register in the Transition Program as part of their probationary contracts will be given priority consideration. Students who wish to register in Transition Program courses to upgrade their marks may do so, subject to availability of space.

Students who complete Transition Program courses will have their academic standings re-evaluated upon completion of the Program at the end of the term.

The Transition Program has two phases: the Winter term (Phase One) and the Spring term (Phase Two). Phase One offers required courses from first semester, in parallel to the second-semester program courses. Students who have failed and/or are missing required courses at the end of the first semester are required to take them in the Transition Program. Second-semester courses not taken by students in Phase One of the Transition Program are taught in Phase Two.

The Transition Program's Spring term (Phase Two) runs each year from the second week of May until the end of June, with exams finishing in the first week of July.
