Students are responsible for being familiar with the rules and regulations concerning graduate registration and with Academic regulations. This information is available in the Graduate Registration and Academic Regulations sections of the Graduate Calendar.
The deadlines for registering and dropping courses can be found in the Academic Calendar section of the Calendar. Students are responsible for meeting these deadlines. If a student has not met these deadlines due to circumstances beyond their control, they may submit a Student Request through their department.
The academic performance of graduate students is monitored on a periodic basis. Academic performance is based on different factors including GPA, C grades, F grades, PhD progress reports. Please note some programs may have more stringent requirements than those listed in the general section of the graduate calendar. Please refer to the information in the calendar on Academic Standing.
The grades for Concordia graduate courses transferred into a graduate program now appear on the student record and transcript and are calculated in the Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA). This helps in addressing the concerns expressed by students that their CGPA does not reflect their actual performance. For further information please contact your program or the School of Graduate Studies.
The integrity of University academic life and of the degrees, diplomas and certificates the University confers is dependent upon the honesty and soundness of the instructor-student learning relationship and, in particular, that of the evaluation process. As such, all students are expected to be honest in all of their academic endeavours and relationships with the University.
For further information visit the Academic Integrity website or go directly to the Academic Code of Conduct.
Graduate students are entitled to appeal decisions which affect their academic standing. It is assumed that initiating an appeal is the last recourse. Please review the appeal procedures for detailed information.
It is the right of students to request a re-evaluation of coursework which includes tests, examinations, essays and other work that contributed to the grading of a course. For details on the process please review the Academic Re-evaluation procedures.
