Joint programs offer students the opportunity to receive a combined university degree and a college diploma from either Seneca College or Sir Sandford Fleming College and a certificate from Humber College in what would otherwise take seven years. The York/Humber program may be completed in four years, while the York/Seneca and York/Sir Sandford Fleming programs are five years in duration. These accelerated programs can begin either at the respective college or at York University (with the exception of the York/Humber joint program) and are then completed at the partner institution. Students enrolled in joint programs must fulfill the joint program requirements of both institutions. Students who are enrolled in FES are required to complete a minimum of 90 credits within the first three years of the joint program with a minimum 5.00 (C+) grade point average, including core, Faculty, area of concentration and general education requirements. They are also required to submit an application to the joint program at the respective college in October of their third year of study. With the exception of the York/Humber joint program, students who begin their diploma at the college should apply to the joint program in Faculty of Environmental Studies through the normal York admission process in the final year of their diploma. Acceptance is contingent upon students successfully completing the diploma with a minimum 3.00 grade point average at the college. Successful applicants will be awarded 60 block credits toward their BES program. Students who choose to opt out of the joint program at York and attend another program will have their advanced standing re-evaluated. Students admitted to the joint program directly from Seneca College or Sir Sandford Fleming College must maintain Honours standing over the course of their studies in environmental studies; a cumulative grade point average of 5.00 (C+) over all courses taken at York. Students whose cumulative grade point average is below 5.00 (C+) during their studies may proceed in an Honours program, on warning, provided they meet the specific year level progression requirements. Failure to maintain this standing will result in the following:
