Degree Completion Requirements

For Degree completion, students are required:

1. The student must have completed at least 60 credits as specified in the Program Requirements. At least 50% of these (30 credits) must be obtained at UCC
2. The student must maintain a GPA of at least 2.33 (C+) in each semester of study.
3. The student must earn grades of "C+" or better in all core courses, and a "C" or better in all other courses.
4. A student whose semester GPA is 1.5 or below, will be required to permanently withdraw from the program immediately.
5. A student whose semester GPA falls below the 2.33 minimum, but is above 1.5, will be placed on academic probation for the next semester, and will not be allowed to take more than 3 courses while on probation. The student may also incur additional academic restrictions or be required to withdraw from the program.
6. If the student does not succeed in obtaining a GPA of at least 2.33 in the probationary semester, the student will be required to permanently withdraw from the BTACS program immediately.
7. The student must notify the program Advisor, in writing, of his/her intent to graduate. Notification must take place prior to the add/drop deadline in the final semester of degree study.
8. Any course duplication (repeating a course) will require prior approval of the BTACS Program Advisor. Normally, no more than 3 courses may be duplicated; and only one duplication of a single course will be allowed. The highest grade achieved in duplicated courses will be used for post-admission CGPA calculations, but the student's record will show all attempts.
