Completion of a minor or recognition is optional, but if chosen the minor or recognition must be completed in conjunction with a major in a different subject or an interdisciplinary program, and must be completed at the time of graduation with an Arts & Science degree.

Minors are available in many disciplines, on completion of 18 to 24 credit units as specified by the department. Refer to the specific subject for further information as not all disciplines offer Minors.

Recognition in a Language is available in French, German, Spanish and Ukrainian upon completion of 18 credit units as specified by the Department of Languages, Literatures, and Cultural Studies.

This is a depth of study consisting of a prescribed suite of courses, within a major, that provides students additional expertise and specialized training in one aspect of their major. Typically, a concentration will be similar in requirements to a minor, but the majority of coursework will occur within the student’s major field of study rather than outside of it. Colleges have developed a variety of terms for concentrations (option, specialization within a major, themes, streams, etc.). Please see the University Nomenclature Report for more details.

Some Science Majors have approved Specializations which recognize specialized studies in a sub-discipline of that Major. A Specialization requires completion of 18 to 24 credit units of special studies in a B.Sc. Four-year or B.Sc. Honours degree, with at least 9 credit units in the Specialization at the 300 or 400-level.

A Specialization must be completed in conjunction with a Major, and must be completed at the time of graduation with a B.Sc. Four-year or Honours degree.

Not all disciplines offer Specializations. Refer to the program descriptions for the Major for availability of Specializations and for further regulations.

In addition to these degree and certificate programs, students may complete preparatory coursework to apply to other colleges and programs.

However, students are responsible for contacting the host college or institution directly to ensure they have the most current admission and program information. Students who wish to enter any of these programs of study should apply for admission to the College of Arts & Science. Since programs often have more qualified applicants than can be accepted, students may find they need additional years of study, perhaps a Three-year, Four-year or Honours degree, before they are accepted. Students should select courses to fulfill the requirements for a degree program in the College of Arts & Science. Students are also advised to utilize the career counselling services available at the University's Career Centre.

Distribution requirements expose students to all areas considered important in the achievement of a liberal arts education. Regardless of whether you are pursuing the B.A. or B.Sc. degree, all students must complete a variety of courses outside of the area in which they specialize. Many students in their first year will choose to take a mix of distribution requirements to help them narrow down an area of interest for their major.

Courses to meet Requirements 1 to 3 must be selected from the following list and are subject to the following conditions:

1. No course may be used twice to fulfill two or more Requirements. For example, if ENG 111.3 is used to fulfill the English Language Writing requirement, it may not be used toward fulfillment of the Breadth or Cognate requirements.
2. No more than 6 credit units from one subject may be used in Requirements 1, 2, or the junior course requirements in Requirement 3. Some programs set out specific criteria to receive an exception to this rule.

Application for admission to Honours is not considered until the student has successfully completed at least 60 credit units with a Cumulative Weighted Average of at least 70% overall and at least 70% in the subject or subjects of honours. In some programs higher admission averages are required.

The average is calculated from the grades obtained on all courses taken, that carry credit toward the B.A., B.A.&Sc., B.F.A., B.Mus. or B.Sc. degree. This calculation will include courses with failing grades, except for courses taken again and passed, according to the College of Arts & Science policy on repeating courses.

Grades for transfer credits may be used for calculating the admission average only, in the case where a student has taken fewer than 60 credit units at the University of Saskatchewan (that are approved for credit in Arts & Science). Grades for transfer credits will not be used in the calculation of promotion and graduation averages.

Application for admission is to be made on a form available at the Undergraduate Student Office or online. The deadline for application is May 31. Students will be notified by e-mail during the summer.

Alternative Admission Standard: Students who, with more than 60 credit units, fail to qualify for admission to an Honours Program because their Cumulative Weighted Average is less than 70% may nevertheless be admitted, with department recommendation and College approval, if their average on the last 60 credit units or more attempted is at least 75%, and their average in the subject of honours is at least 70%.

Additional Regulations: Students who wish to pursue an Honours Program after the completion of a Four-year degree should contact the Undergraduate Student Office. Students who meet the program and academic requirements for an Honours degree but have never been admitted to an Honours program may still be eligible to receive the Honours degree. These students should contact the Undergraduate Student Office.

Honours Scholarships: A limited number of these scholarships are awarded annually to students in the fourth year of an Honours Program. To be eligible for consideration, a student must have been formally admitted by the College to an Honours Program, must have a Sessional Weighted Average of at least 75% and must have completed at least 78 credit units of the 120 credit units required in the Honours Programs. A student who has completed 78 credit units and who receives an Honours Scholarship must register in at least 18 credit units in Fall and Winter Terms in which the scholarship is tenable. Applications from students are not required for Honours Scholarships.

1. Residency requirement: Students must meet the residency requirements for the College of Arts & Science.
2. Additional credit requirements: Students pursuing a B.A., B.A.&Sc., B.F.A., B.Mus., or B.Sc. degree in addition to another different degree, must complete at least 30 Arts & Science credit units not used for the other degree. These additional Arts & Science credits are required regardless of the number of Arts & Science courses included in the program leading to the first degree. These courses must be allowable for credit in the College of Arts & Science.
3. Program requirement: Students must satisfy all program requirements and the graduation standards for the degree being attempted.
   Note: In some cases, these regulations may mean that students are required to take more than the minimum 90 credit units for a Three-year degree or more than 120 credit units for a Four-year or Honours degree. The credit units which are in excess of the 90 or 120 may or may not be in the subject of the major.
4. For students completing an Arts & Science degree and a degree from another college, the number of senior (200-level, 300-level and 400-level) credit units required is dependent on the courses chosen for the degree in the other college. To determine requirements for the second degree, students must consult the Undergraduate Student Office, College of Arts & Science, prior to their final year.
5. Date of commencement of a second degree program: 
   1. Once a degree has been received, who have 18 credit units or fewer remaining to fulfill the requirements of their chosen second degree may follow the program requirements listed in the Catalogue year in which they successfully completed the first course in the new Major Requirement, provided that such students will complete their program requirements within 10 years from this date of commencement. If the date of commencement is more than 10 years from the date of completion, students will be required to meet the program requirements from a Catalogue year within the 10-year limit.
   2. Students who have received a degree and have more than 18 credit units remaining to fulfill the requirements of their chosen second degree must complete the program requirements and the graduation standards which are in place for the academic session following their graduation. It is expected that students will complete their second degree program within 10 years. Students taking longer than 10 years to complete their second degree will be required to meet the current program requirements.
6. The overall and major Cumulative Weighted Averages (C.W.A.) for Arts & Science graduation are calculated on grades from all University of Saskatchewan courses taken, including any course from another college which credits toward the Arts & Science degree and all Arts & Science courses taken while in another college. This means that the average will include all courses which transfer to the College of Arts & Science, even if they exceed the minimum number of credit units required for the Second Degree program requirements. Under certain restrictions, failures and marks below 60% will be excluded from the average if these courses have been retaken in accordance with the rules of the College. See "Cumulative Weighted Average" in this section.
7. Students who have completed a B.A. Type A (Humanities) prior to a B.Sc. (Science) are exempt from the Humanities Writing Requirement included in B.Sc. programs from 2005-2006 to 2019-2020.

The following regulations apply to students who have a B.A. and wish to complete a second B.A., have a B.A.&Sc. and wish to complete a second B.A.&Sc., or who have a B.Sc. and wish to complete a second B.Sc.:

1. After completion of a B.A., B.A.&Sc., or B.Sc. degree, it is possible to obtain a second Four-year or Honours B.A., B.A.&Sc. or B.Sc. degree that is in a different major. Students who have completed their previous degree at the University of Saskatchewan must complete a minimum of 30 credit units so as to satisfy all the requirements for a different major, and such that the 30 credit units includes a minimum of 12 credit units of relevant courses as approved by the department of the new major.
2. Students transferring from another institution and pursuing a second B.A., B.A.&Sc. or B.Sc. Four-year or Honours degree must meet the residency requirements of the College of Arts and Science for the degree in the same manner as for a first degree program (see Residency Regulations).
3. The B.A. Three-year degree is not available to a student who holds a previous B.A. degree, and the B.Sc. Three-year degree is not available to a student who holds a previous B.Sc. degree.
4. Students completing a Three-year degree and then a Four-year or Honours degree must complete at least 120 credit units, of which at least 66 total senior credit units are required. Students completing a Four-year or Honours degree and then another Four-year or Honours degree must complete at least 150 credit units, of which at least 90 total senior credit units are required.

The following regulations apply to students who have any undergraduate degree from the University of Saskatchewan, other than a B.A., and wish to complete a B.A.:

1. Students may not receive two Three-year degrees.
2. To receive a Four-year or Honours B.A. after another undergraduate degree, students must complete a minimum of 30 additional credit units not used in any previous degree, and fulfill all program requirements. The 30 additional credit units are required regardless of whether the first degree was a Three-year, Four-year or Honours degree. Additional credit units may be required to fulfill all program requirements.
3. If students complete a Three-year degree and a Four-year or Honours degree, in either order, a minimum of 66 total senior credit units are required. If students complete any combination of two Four-year or Honours degrees a minimum of 90 total senior credit units are required.
4. To receive a Three-year degree, students must complete a minimum of 30 additional credit units and fulfill all program requirements. Only students who have completed a Four-year or Honours B.F.A., B.Mus., B.Sc., BA&Sc., or other non-BA degree may subsequently complete a Three-year degree. Students must complete at least 150 credit units for the two degrees.

The following regulations apply to students who have any undergraduate degree from the University of Saskatchewan, other than a B.Sc., and wish to complete a B.Sc.:

The following regulations apply to students who are upgrading their B.A., B.Sc., or B.A.&Sc. to a higher degree in the same major. For example, a student with a B.A. Three-year in Sociology may upgrade to a B.A. Four-year in Sociology or a student with a B.Sc. Four-year in Biology may upgrade to a B.Sc. Honours in Biology.

Only Arts & Science degrees earned at the University of Saskatchewan may be upgraded at the University of Saskatchewan. Students with degrees from other institutions are invited to pursue the other second degree options available.

1. Students who have a Three-year degree with the minimum 90 credit units must complete a minimum of 30 additional credit units and fulfill all program requirements in order to upgrade to a Four-year, Double Honours or Honours degree. A minimum of 120 credit units is required for the Four-year, Double Honours or Honours degree. The higher level degree must have additional requirements remaining in the Major Requirement (applies to both subjects for Double Honours), and the student must successfully complete these requirements.
2. Students with a Four-year degree may upgrade to an Honours degree in the same major provided that there are additional Honours program requirements remaining and that they successfully complete these requirements.
3. Students with a Four-year degree may upgrade to a Double Honours degree in the same subject (and a second subject) provided that there are additional Double Honours program requirements remaining for both subjects, and that they successfully complete these requirements.
4. Students who have already completed all program requirements for an Honours degree, Double Honours degree, or B.F.A. degree, but did not achieve the C.W.A. graduation standard required for Honours, are not permitted to take or retake courses to upgrade to an Honours degree under this policy.
5. Students who complete a degree and return to upgrade to a higher-level degree must follow the current program requirements.

Students with an undergraduate degree from another university may be allowed to receive an undergraduate degree from the College of Arts & Science at the University of Saskatchewan. Students are required to meet the residency requirements and to complete program requirements. Students who wish to pursue such an option must consult the Undergraduate Student Office, College of Arts & Science.

Students who have completed another degree(s) and wish to complete a B.Mus. degree must complete a minimum of 30 credit units not used for any previous degree. All program requirements for the B.Mus. must also be completed. Students who have completed a B.Mus. cannot subsequently complete a B.A. Honours, Four-year or Three-year in Music.

Arts & Science and Agriculture & Bioresources, Dentistry, Education, Edwards School of Business, Engineering, Kinesiology, Medicine, Nursing, Nutrition & Dietetics, Pharmacy, Veterinary Medicine

Students who wish to pursue a second degree program in Arts & Science with a degree from another college (listed above) must complete the required minimum additional 30 credit units. Students must complete all of the program requirements for the chosen degree type and major.

See Second Degree Program Regulations above for additional information, and please consult the Undergraduate Student Office if you have questions specific to your combination of programs.

Arts & Science and Law

The Second Degree Program in Arts & Science and Law, leading to the B.A., B.A.&Sc., B.F.A., or B.Sc. (including B.Sc. (BMSC)) and J.D., is available. Up to 18 credit units of LAW courses may be counted as senior electives in the College of Arts & Science by students following the Second Degree Program, except for the LAW courses which are primarily skills-based courses. Excluded courses include:

• LAW 384.3
• LAW 430.3
• LAW 439.3
• All Moots, including LAW 427.3, LAW 441.3, LAW 447.3, LAW 448.3, LAW 450.3, LAW 459.3, and LAW 464.3
• All practicums, including LAW 492.12

Students are encouraged to consult an Advisor in the College of Arts & Science to confirm that a particular LAW course will be counted toward their Arts & Science degree requirements.

The College of Arts & Science will use up to the first 18 credit units of eligible LAW courses successfully completed to fulfill elective credit in the Arts & Science degree, and the grades from these courses will be used in the calculation of the Arts & Science average.

Students must be admitted to the College of Law to be eligible for the J.D.

See Second Degree Program Regulations above for additional information.

Arts & Science Degree and B.Ed./B.Mus.(Mus.Ed.)

Students who have completed the B.Ed./B.Mus.(Mus.Ed.) may complete the work for an undergraduate degree in Arts & Science upon successful completion of an additional 30 Arts & Science credit units. Such students may not receive a B.A. in Music or a B.Mus. in Music Education degree as a subsequent degree. Students must consult the Undergraduate Student Office for details.

See Second Degree Program Regulations above for additional information.

Students enrolled in courses for credit are required to have satisfied the stated prerequisites or, in exceptional cases, to have obtained a prerequisite waiver approved by the instructor or department head. Please be aware, prerequisite waivers must be approved prior to attending the class. Only students with a minimum Arts & Science C.W.A. of 65% will be considered for a prerequisite waiver. Students who do not have the prerequisites or approved prerequisite waivers are expected to withdraw from the course. Students who do not withdraw may have their registration cancelled by the Undergraduate Student Office or may be denied credit for the course. 

See also the Registration section of the Current Students website for details.

1. Please refer to the specific program page for information on major requirements.
2. First-year students may register in 3 to 30 credit units (a maximum of 15 credit units per term) in Fall and Winter Terms (September to April).
3. First-year students usually register only in junior courses (100-level) in their first term (September to December). Depending on prerequisite requirements, some senior courses are open to first-year students in the second term (January to April), such as CHEM 250.3, some STAT courses, etc.
4. Students may register only in the courses for which prerequisites have been satisfied. For example, students must complete Chemistry 30 before registering in CHEM 112.3. High school prerequisites for university courses are listed in the course descriptions in the Course & Program Catalogue
5. Additional information may be found on the College of Arts & Science website. 

Academic Advising: Each year, students who intend to return for the next Fall and Winter Terms are expected to see an advisor in the department of their major in March or April. To declare or change a Major, and for access to a program monitor showing the student’s Cumulative Weighted Average (C.W.A.), refer to the Arts & Science tab in PAWS. Students also have access, in PAWS, to an online degree audit system called Degree Works. The last three weeks of March and the month of April are designated as a time for students to participate in academic advising. Students may go to more than one department if they have not yet decided on a major. Advising procedures and sessions on choosing a major are announced by e-mail to the student's NSID account, through the PAWS portal. Opportunities for departmental academic advising outside the March‑April period may be limited.

For specific information on major requirements and on other cognate courses required or recommended, consult the department advisor and refer to the appropriate section of the Course & Program Catalogue. For example, a student intending to major in biology should consult an advisor in the Department of Biology after reading the Biology program requirements.

Students who attended during the last Fall and Winter Terms and are eligible to return, and those accepted to upper year studies in the College of Arts & Science, should check PAWS for registration dates. Students who received a degree at Spring Convocation must reapply for admission if they intend to take additional courses in the College. 

Late enrolment overrides are intended for students who experience an extenuating circumstance that prevents them from completing their registration by the class registration deadlines established by the university. 

To be eligible for a late enrolment request, students must satisfy all the following criteria:

• completion of at least 30 credit units,
• a cumulative weighted average (CWA) of at least 60%, and
• approval of the instructor.

Deadlines for submitting late enrolment requests for Arts and Science courses are:

• Fall or Winter Term classes: No later than 21 days following the first day of class.
• Spring or Summer Term classes (full term): No later than 5 days following the first day of classes.
• Spring or Summer Quarter classes: No later than 3 days following the first day of classes.

Late submissions will not be considered.

Eligible requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis and approval will be at the discretion of the College of Arts & Science.

Normally students register in a maximum of 30 credit units (15 credit units per term) in Fall and Winter Terms. However, upper-year students with a Cumulative Weighted Average (C.W.A.) of at least 70% on a minimum of 30 credit units completed previously, can receive permission from the Undergraduate Student Office to add a maximum of 3 additional credit units per term. The form to request permission to take 33 or 36 credit units in Fall and Winter Terms is available on the College of Arts & science website.

Junior courses are numbered at the 100-level. Senior courses are numbered at the 200-, 300-, or 400-level. Depending on the subject, there may be limitations to the number of junior credit units allowed. If a department offers more than 6 credit units in 100-level courses, students should see Courses and/or Programs to determine whether they will be allowed credit for additional junior courses.

For students in majoring or minoring in Drama, Studio Art and Music, who take several 100-level courses in the subject of their major, the first 6 100-level credit units taken will be counted as junior and the remaining 100-level courses in that subject will be counted as senior.

Note: For students not majoring or minoring in Studio Art, the second 6 100-level ART credit units taken will count as senior credit units. The first 6 100-level ART credit units and additional (above 12 credit units) 100-level ART units will be counted as junior credit units.

Note: For students who take more than 6 credit units at the 100-level in the same Language, the first 6 credit units will be counted as junior. The next 3-6 credit units are counted as senior.

This policy details the Arts & Science college-level rules for accepting a different course in lieu of one that is listed in program requirements:

Course substitutions are only offered when a required course has been closed or when a required course is not available in a student’s final year of study. Requests for course substitutions will be assessed on a case-by-case basis. This policy does not apply to Statistics courses, which are covered separately by the Statistics Course Regulations.

All course substitution requests must be submitted by the appropriate faculty member with a rationale outlining the reasoning surrounding the equality of the two courses in meeting the requirements of the program. Substituted courses must be closely related (subject, topic, and/or level) to the original course. All requests must be signed off by both the student and the department head and submitted to the Undergraduate Student Office one week prior to the registration deadline for the term in which the substitute course is to be taken.

The College Scholar course (CSCH 298.3, CSCH 299.6, CSCH 398.3, CSCH 399.6, CSCH 498.3, CSCH 499.6) is designed for students who wish to study a subject which cannot normally be attempted in one course or which includes the disciplines of more than one department. These individual research projects credit only as electives. Please consult the Undergraduate Student Office for more information.

The Special Studies course (SPST 298.3; SPST 299.6; SPST 398.3; SPST 399.6; SPST 498.3; SPST 499.6) permits a student to study a topic in the discipline area of one department. Special Studies projects credit either as electives or in a major.

Normal sessional deadlines apply to these courses, except in extraordinary circumstances.

Complete applications, including the project description, must be submitted by the supervising professor to the Undergraduate Student Office.

Students with averages in the top 5% of each program type will be eligible to be included on the Dean's List which will be posted annually. Students named to the Dean's List will be notified. To be eligible, students must have completed at least 24 credit units during the last Fall and Winter Terms. No application is required.

To be allowed to take more than 24 credit units in the following Fall and Winter Terms, the minimum Promotion Standards must be met.

1. The Promotion Standards are based on the total number of credit units used in the calculation of the C.W.A.
2. For students with transfer credits, the required promotion average is based upon the total credit units attempted, including transfer credits. However, the C.W.A. is calculated only on University of Saskatchewan courses attempted; grades received from other institutions are not included in the C.W.A.
3. Failing grades will be used in the calculation of the C.W.A., except where a course was repeated and a higher grade was earned. 
4. Students should be aware that meeting these standards does not ensure graduation; rather, these are the minimum standards required to continue studies on a full-time basis.

Promotion Standards

Probation

Required to Discontinue

Alternate Promotion Standards

Students who fail to meet the promotion standards described in the previous section will also be evaluated using the alternate promotion standards which exclude grades obtained in the first year of study or the first and second years of study. The following standards apply:

Alternate Promotion Standard

Alternate Probation

Alternate Required to Discontinue

Where the two evaluation procedures produce different results, the evaluation which best benefits the student will apply.

No specific promotion standards are applied to certificate programs. Students are reminded that they are required to attain an overall Cumulative Weighted Average (C.W.A.) of 62.5% on all courses counted toward the certificate in order to be eligible to graduate.

Students who fail to meet the minimum or alternate C.W.A. will either be placed on Probation or be Required to Discontinue from the College of Arts & Science for a period of one year (Sept 1 to August 31). Students are notified in June.

Students who are Required to Discontinue from the College of Arts & Science are not permitted to return to the College for a period of one year. Students who take courses outside the College of Arts & Science while Required to Discontinue must have a C.W.A. of 60% before they can reapply for admission to Arts & Science. Students who do not take courses during their first Required to Discontinue year will, on application to Admissions, be accepted for readmission to the College. The faculty action Required to Discontinue is permanently recorded on the transcript.

Students on Probation may not take more than 24 credit units in the next Fall and Winter Terms. Students on probation are not allowed to take more than 12 credit units per term. The C.W.A. of students on Probation will be reviewed in May. Students who meet the promotion standards will have their Probation status removed.

Students have the right to appeal a Requirement to Discontinue. However, appeals will only be accepted if extenuating circumstances can be shown to account for poor academic performance. Corroborating documentation, such as a letter from a doctor, is required. The appeal, addressed to the Academic Appeals Coordinator of the College, must be submitted online within 30 days of the date of notification. See the Arts and Science Appeals page for details and the link to the online submission.

When a student has been Required to Discontinue studies in the College of Arts & Science or in any other college or university more than once, any subsequent application for readmission must be accompanied by:

The applicant is encouraged to contact an Academic Advisor in the Undergraduate Student Office.

Graduation Check

Once students finalize their registration for their final year, they should request a Graduation Check to ensure all graduation requirements will be completed. Forms are available online or from the Undergraduate Student Office. Deadlines to submit graduation checks are June 15 (for Fall Convocation) and November 15 (for Spring Convocation).

Application for Graduation

Students must apply to graduate to receive a degree or certificate. The Application to Graduate form must be submitted by August 31 for Fall Convocation or by March 31 for Spring Convocation. A student who fails to graduate must subsequently submit another application.

Completion of Degree Requirements

To qualify for graduation, students must complete both the degree requirements for their program type (as described in the section on Arts & Science Degree Programs) and must complete the course requirements for their major or interdisciplinary program (as described in the Programs section). The student may also have completed the requirements for a minor or recognition or both. The required Cumulative Weighted Average (C.W.A.) must be achieved.

Completion of Certificate Requirements

To qualify for graduation students must complete the requirements for their particular certificate. A minimum Cumulative Weighted Average (C.W.A.) of 62.5% must be achieved on all courses taken which credit towards the certificate.

Required Cumulative Weighted Average (C.W.A.)

All University of Saskatchewan courses attempted which credit towards an Arts & Science degree are used in the calculation of the Overall C.W.A. and the Subject C.W.A. Failures are included if the course has not been retaken as described under Repeating Courses. Students may not use a grade from another university to replace a University of Saskatchewan grade.

The graduation standards for degrees or certificates are:

*"Subject" means the major subject, the minor subject, the recognition subject, and the courses listed as a "major" for an interdisciplinary program. Courses included in the subject average may appear in the Distribution Requirements or the Major Requirement of a specific program. For a Degree Level Certificate, the “subject” includes all courses listed as part of the program requirements.

Alternate Graduation Standards

All students who do not meet the overall or the subject graduation standards are eligible to receive a degree or certificate if they meet the alternate graduation standards on courses taken from the University of Saskatchewan as follows:

Major subject: For the B.A. or B.Sc. Three-year degree an average of 62.5% is required on at least 24 credit units of senior courses. All senior courses attempted in the major subject must be included.

For the B.A. or B.Sc. Four-year degree an average of 65% is required on at least 30 credit units of senior courses. All senior courses attempted in the major subject must be included.

For the B.F.A. degree, students with an average of 75% overall on the last 60 or more credit units attempted (including Regular, and Spring and Summer Sessions), and an average of 70% in the prescribed courses of the major will, on the recommendation of the department and approval of the College, be awarded their degree.

Overall C.W.A.: For the B.A. or B.Sc. Three-year or the B.A. or B.Sc. Four-year degree or certificate an overall C.W.A. of at least 62.5% is required on the last 60 credit units or more attempted (including complete Regular, and Spring and Summer Sessions).

The student must also meet the regular or alternate graduation standards in the major subject.

Minor and Recognition: There is no alternate graduation standard for minors and recognition. The subject C.W.A. of 62.5% must be achieved if these designations are to be awarded.

Students in the B.Mus. Four Year, B.A. Three-year or Four-year, or B.Sc. Three-year or Four-year programs, who earn a minimum C.W.A. of 75% are awarded their degrees with Distinction; those who earn a minimum C.W.A. of 80% are awarded Great Distinction.

Students who do not achieve Distinction or Great Distinction based on the standards noted in the previous section, will also be considered under the alternate standards. Students who achieve a minimum C.W.A. of 77.5% on the last 60 or more credit units attempted will be awarded their degrees with Distinction. Students who achieve a minimum C.W.A. of 82.5% on the last 60 or more credit units attempted (including complete Regular, and Spring and Summer Sessions) will be awarded their degrees with Great Distinction.

Both the standards and alternate standards for Distinction or Great Distinction must be achieved on University of Saskatchewan courses which credit toward the Arts & Science degree.

Honours Standard: Students who have completed an Honours Program with a C.W.A. of 70% and an average of 70% in the prescribed courses of the subject of honours will, on the recommendation of the department and approval of the College, be awarded their degree with honours.

High Honours Standard: Students with a C.W.A. average of 75% and an average of 80% in the prescribed courses in the subject of honours will, on the recommendation of the department and approval of the College, be awarded their degree with high honours.

Alternate Honours Standard: Students with a C.W.A. of 75% overall on the last 60 or more credit units attempted (including complete Regular, and Spring and Summer Sessions), and an average of 70% in the prescribed courses of the subject of honours will, on the recommendation of the department and approval of the College, be awarded their degree with honours.

Alternate High Honours Standard: Students with a C.W.A. of 80% on the last 60 or more senior credit units attempted (including complete Regular, and Spring and Summer Sessions), and a minimum C.W.A. of 80% in the major will be awarded their degree with High Honours.

Students who have already completed all program requirements for an Honours degree but did not achieve the C.W.A. graduation standard required for Honours, are not permitted to take or retake courses to upgrade to an Honours degree under this policy.

Departmental recommendations based on a comprehensive examination, or other quantitative aspects of the student's performance, shall have a weight of no more than 6 credit units in the calculation of a student's C.W.A.

Both the standards and the alternate standards for honours and high honours must be achieved on all University of Saskatchewan courses which credit toward the Arts & Science degree.

A student who is absent from a final examination for medical reasons (such as illness) or compassionate reasons (such as the illness of a child or death of a loved-one) is responsible for contacting the Undergraduate Student Office to request a deferred examination. The application must be initiated within three business days of the missed examination and must be accompanied by documentation (letter from a doctor, etc.). The form and supporting documentation must be returned within 5 days of the initial request.

Students must not make travel plans or schedule other activities during the period scheduled for examinations. Deferred examinations are not granted for these reasons. The dates of the periods during which final exams are scheduled are listed in the Academic Calendar.

A student who becomes ill during a final examination should notify the invigilator immediately of the inability to complete the examination. The student may be eligible to request a deferred examination. A deferred examination will not be granted if a student sits for more than half of the time allotted to write the final examination. A student who has sat for a final examination and handed the paper in for grading will not be granted a deferred final examination.

See the Academic Calendar for the deferred examinations periods. A special deferred examination may also be approved for students who submit satisfactory evidence of inability to be present at the regular deferred sitting.

A student who is absent from a deferred examination will have the final grade reverted to the original failing percentile submitted by the instructor for the course, unless a special deferred examination has been approved based on the above specified criteria. 

Supplemental examination refers to the "re-writing" of a final exam. Only students in their graduating year in the College of Arts & Science may apply for a supplemental examination provided that:

1. A final grade of 40% - 49% has been obtained in the course.

2. The course must have been taken during the last session prior to convocation.

3. The student has achieved the minimum average in the major and overall to meet the graduation standards of the College. 

Note: Supplemental examinations shall be accorded the same weight as the regular exam in the computation of the student's final grade.

Note: Regardless of the passing grade achieved, a grade of 50% in the course will be used by the College in calculation of the C.W.A. With the inclusion of the 50% in the average, the student must meet graduation standards.

Approval for the writing of a supplemental examination will not be considered until:

• an application for graduation has been submitted,
• all final examinations for the degree or certificate have been written,
• all final grades have been submitted.

Students applying for Spring Convocation (June) will not be able to have their degree conferred until Fall Convocation (October). Upon successful completion of the supplemental examination students may request a letter confirming their degree requirements.

See the Academic Calendar for the dates that supplemental examinations are written.

Of the credit units required for the degree, students must complete at least 45 credit units overall from the University of Saskatchewan, including:

• a minimum of 30 senior credit units, and
• at least two-thirds of the credit units required in the major (to the nearest highest multiple of 3 credit units).  For a 30 credit-unit major, this means that at least 21 credit units in the major subject are required.

Of the credit units required for the degree, students must complete at least 60 credit units overall from the University of Saskatchewan, including:

• at least 45 senior credit units
• at least two-thirds of the courses required in the major (to the nearest highest multiple of 3 credit units). For a 36 credit-unit Four-year major, this means that at least 24 credit units in the major subject are required.

Of the credit units required for the degree, students must complete, from the University of Saskatchewan, at least 60 credit units overall, including two-thirds of the music courses required (to the nearest highest multiple of 3 credit units).

Of the credit units required for the degree, students must complete at least 60 credit units overall from the University of Saskatchewan, including:

• a minimum of 45 senior credit units
• in Art, at least 48 credit units of the combined total of studio and art history courses required, and in Drama, at least 48 credit units in Drama and cognate courses

At least one half of the credit units, rounded to the nearest highest multiple of 3 credit units, must be fulfilled by courses offered by the University of Saskatchewan. In a 15 credit unit Degree Level Certificate, at least 9 credit units must be fulfilled by University of Saskatchewan courses. In a 30 credit unit Degree Level Certificate, at least 15 credit units must be fulfilled by University of Saskatchewan courses.

In an 18 credit unit minor or recognition, at least two-thirds of the courses required to the nearest highest multiple of 3 credit units must be completed at the University of Saskatchewan. Similarly, in a 24 credit unit minor, at least two-thirds of the courses required to the nearest highest multiple of 3 credit units must be completed at the University of Saskatchewan and in a 21 credit unit minor, two-thirds of the courses required to the nearest highest multiple of 3 credit units must be completed.

The following list shows the courses from other colleges which credit automatically towards an Arts & Science program. The regulations which apply to this credit are as follows:

1. College policy states that any courses from another college listed for credit in an Arts & Science program and courses offered by other colleges that are designated as equivalent to Arts & Science courses will credit automatically to any Arts & Science degree.
2. Students who began their Arts & Science program before the 1999-2000 academic year have the option to decline credit for all courses from another college listed for credit in an Arts & Science program. Students may not decline credit for courses offered by other colleges that are designated as equivalent to Arts & Science courses regardless of the year of enrolment.
3. Prior to May, 2005 students were permitted to choose a maximum of 6 credit units from other colleges in addition to the courses from other colleges which credit automatically. Arts & Science students who began their programs prior to May 2005 may still use this option. This includes students who have transferred to Arts & Science from another college. Students who began their program May 2005 or later may only choose courses from the automatic transfer list.
4. Students in Second Degree programs, as described in the Calendar, may use the courses listed to meet the requirements for the Arts & Science degree. For example, an Engineering graduate who is completing a B.Sc. Three-year degree may use the Commerce courses listed below to satisfy elective requirements for a minimum of 30 additional credit units in Arts & Science.
5. Only Arts & Science courses (or their equivalents such as MATH 124.3) may be used for the Distribution Requirements, with the exception of statistics which may only be used as electives. Course equivalents are shown in square brackets [ ]. Other courses listed below can be used in the Major Requirement if approved by the department. All other courses will be used only in the Electives Requirement.

Please note that this list may be updated during the academic year. The up-to-date list is available on the Arts & Science website.
