Continue in Non-Honours (CN)
A decision of Continue in Non-Honours (CN) means that you are an Honours student who has not met the academic standards to continue in your program.
Ordinarily, you would have been assigned a decision of Required to Withdraw for Two Terms (WT); however, since your program is offered at the Non-Honours level, and you meet the requirements for Eligible to Continue (EC) in the Non-Honours program, the University has placed you in the corresponding Non-Honours program.
Students whose Honours program does not have a corresponding Non-Honours program may also receive the decision of Continue in Non-Honours (CN) and be placed in an alternate Non-Honours program based on their course history.
As a result of this evaluation, you can:
- Continue in and complete the Non-Honours degree, or
- Complete courses as though you were still in the Honours program in an effort to raise your CGPA(s) and be re-admitted at a later date. If you decide that you want to complete your Honours degree, it is important that you meet with an advisor at the Academic Advising Centre as soon as possible. The advisor can review your Academic Continuation Evaluation decision, discuss course selection, and explain the requirements to get back into the Honours program.
- You may also apply to change your major within your degree, as long as you meet the minimum academic requirements for a new major (see “Change of Program Elements” below).
This change to your academic status may affect your eligibility for OSAP or other provincial student financial aid programs. It is recommended you reach out to the Awards Office to discuss any potential impact.
If you are an international student, please contact an advisor at the Global Opportunities and International Student Services Office to review your situation.
Below you will find some important resources and information to help you with your continued studies.ies.
