23. Requirements of Two Baccalaureate Degrees

a.  It is possible to satisfy simultaneously the requirements for two baccalaureate degrees in the Faculties of Arts, Business or Science. To formally declare their status as dual degree, students must complete the appropriate form in the Service Centre and have it signed by each appropriate Dean. Prior to signing this form, each Dean will assess the students’ university course work to date and inform the Registrar in writing of other general requirements that must be completed in order to earn a degree within that Faculty. The Registrar, in turn, will officially notify the student. Specific program requirements should be discussed with the Chairperson of the Department of the students’ major or area of concentration. Students in a dual degree program are advised that in order to receive the two degrees at the same Convocation, they must meet the specific requirements of each portion of their academic program(s). Students must complete the requirements of both degree programs for a minimum of 150 credit hours in order to qualify for graduation. Dual degree students will receive both of their degrees at the same Convocation. Students who complete the requirement for only one degree and who graduate are considered to have discontinued the second degree program. Should they subsequently wish to resume their studies in the second faculty, they must reapply for admission and, if admitted, are considered to be pursuing a second undergraduate degree and hence required to follow the appropriate regulations and guidelines.
