Academic Standing
Academic standing depends on several factors
including the number of courses a student has completed, the overall
grade point average, the sessional grade point average and the major
grade point average.
Grade reports include notice of academic standing
and eligibility to proceed in Honours or BA programs.
Note: Advancement into second-year and upper-year
studio/performance course in some programs may be determined by
the designated departmental committee.
Grade Point Average Calculations
There are three different grade point averages
(GPAs) calculated for Faculty of Fine Arts students:
- Overall grade point average: Includes all courses (passed
and failed) that the student has completed at York.
- Sessional grade point average: Includes all courses (passed
and failed) that the student has completed in the current session
at York.
- Major grade point average: Includes all courses (passed
and failed) which count towards the major that the student has
completed at York.
All courses taken at York, including failures,
are included in grade point average calculations. Course completed
outside York University are not included in grade point averages
at York.
