29. University Medals

At each Spring Convocation the following are presented:

a.  Governor General’s Silver Academic Medal
This medal is awarded annually to the undergraduate deemed to be the top candidate.

b.  Faculty and Division Medals
In the Faculties of Arts, Business and Science; and in the Division of Engineering, medals are awarded to the undergraduate students with the highest cumulative grade point average.

Notes: 

(i)   In the case of undergraduate degrees and diplomas, the cumulative grade point averages will be calculated on the same basis as that for determining distinctions (see Academic Regulation 28). In the case of a tie, Senate will determine the recipient of the medal. In the case of graduate degrees, students’ entire graduate academic records will be considered.

(ii)  Students who graduate in the Fall or January Convocation will be considered for medals at the next Spring Convocation.
