Change in admission criteria for Category 4- some SFU and other post-secondary

courses (page 185 of the

04/05

calendar)

Category 4- some SFU and other post-secondary courses

Students will be selected competitively based on a grade point average which will be

a combination of grades earned at SFU and other institutions.

Proposed change:

Category

4-

some SFU and other post-secondary courses

Students will be selected competitively based on a grade point average which will be

a combination of grades earned at SFU and other institutions.

cgpa of 2.25 required.

Rationale:

If a student has a high enough entrance average from college when they are admitted to

SFU, their combined average (college + SFU) can be high enough to meet the UG

Program admission gpa even if his/her SFU cgpa is below our maintenance gpa of 2.25.

This means that we immediately send the student a warnin g

letter about potential removal

from the BBA Major if their SFU cgpa does not rise above 2.25. The addition of the new

note will prevent this from happening.
