\n2.1 How can I make sure that I’m meeting my degree requirements?<\/span><\/h3>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Your degree requirements are outlined in the undergraduate calendar<\/a>. You can view archived copies of the calendar<\/a> to review the regulations that were published in the year you were admitted to your program.<\/p>\n

In addition to your degree requirements, one quick look at the Academic Regulations<\/a> section of the undergraduate calendar will make you realize there are many regulations and requirements you need to be aware of in order to be successful at university. In order to succeed in your studies, it is vital for you to know the ins and outs, so to speak, of your degree, as well as the regulations that govern them.<\/p>\n

While the calendar outlines your degree requirements, your audit will give you a snapshot of what you\u2019ve achieved so far, as well as what courses you still need to take (more on audits on the Owning My Education page<\/a>). With these in hand, it is good practice to meet regularly with an advisor to make sure that you are on track for graduation.<\/p>\n

As well, you are encouraged to develop and follow your own educational and career goals. Some goals will require standards of achievement much higher than the minimum graduation requirements. Academic advisors at the Academic Advising Centre<\/a> and in individual academic units can help you evaluate your goals!<\/p>\n

See Comprehensive Regulations<\/a> (Section 1.2) in the undergraduate calendar for more information.<\/p>\n

TIP:<\/strong> Plan your courses carefully. Review your degree requirements regularly to avoid unwelcome setbacks!
\n<\/a><\/p>\n

2.2 Where can I go for academic advising?<\/h3>\n

Academic advising is a service that is available at the Academic Advising Centre<\/a> as well as at each academic unit (department, school, or institute). You should use both the Academic Advising Centre and your home academic unit depending on the nature of your particular inquiry. In addition, Engineering, Business and Science students have centralized support units that they can access for support; contact the Engineering Academic Support Office<\/a>, the Sprott Academic Advising and Student Success Office<\/a>, and the Science Student Success Centre<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n

Advisors in academic units<\/a> provide information about particular program requirements and courses they offer, and opportunities for internships and graduate study. Academic advisors<\/a> are familiar with academic regulations, procedures, changing majors or degrees, getting back on track after setbacks, and improving your study skills to meet your goals.<\/p>\n

TIP:<\/strong> Meeting regularly with an advisor is key to your academic success!<\/p>\n
