Definitions

This page provides a list of commonly used academic terms found in this calendar. The definitions provided are intended to help readers understand the outlines of academic regulations and programs which follow.

Academic Dismissal

Denial of all registration privileges for a minimum of three academic years because of failure to meet academic standards

Academic Distinction

A designation awarded to any student completing an undergraduate degree with an overall Grade Point Average of at least 3.7 on all courses attempted

Academic Probation

Permission to continue registration, subject to meeting terms required for continuing on Probation until Good Standing is achieved

Academic Session

The academic year upon which academic standing is assessed including the Spring/Summer, Fall and Winter terms

Academic Suspension

Denial of all registration privileges for a specified period of time because of failure to meet academic standards

Academic Term

Either the May to August or the September to December or the January to April portion of an academic session

Advanced Placement

Registration at an advanced level in a course because of previously acquired background knowledge. Unlike advanced standing, this permission is not granted with credits awarded for the previously acquired knowledge

Advanced Standing

Registration at an advanced level in a discipline because of transfer credits granted for courses completed at another recognized institution

Audit

Registration status of a student who attends class(es) with written permission of the course instructor. Students auditing a course will not write final examinations or receive a grade for the course. See calendar regulation [10.3.8]

Continuous Enrolment

Registration in at least one term (including Spring/Summer, Fall and Winter terms) in consecutive academic sessions without interruption.

Corequisite

A course which must be taken at the same time as another course

Credit

The weight value assigned to a course. A course that normally meets for 3 hours each week throughout the academic year is worth 6 credits; a course that normally meets for 3 hours each week in one term is worth 3 credits. Ensemble performance courses in Music which meet on a regular basis throughout the academic year are worth 1 credit

Cross-listed Course

A course listed for credit under more than one discipline. The course may only be taken once for credit

Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA)

An average calculated by dividing the total number of grade points obtained (credit hours x grade points) by the number of credit hours attempted during all academic sessions

Discipline

A subject area or branch of knowledge

Elective

A credit course which is outside of the specialization component of a program

Exclusion

Students may not count for credit toward a degree any course which is listed as an exclusion for a course in which they are currently registered or which they have already passed.

Faculty

a) The academic teaching staff of a university and b) A grouping of related academic departments administered by a Dean

Full-time Student

A student enrolled for the equivalent of 9 or more credits per term

Good Standing

An academic status achieved by attaining a Session Grade Point Average (SGPA) of at least 1.5 and a Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of at least 1.5

GPA (Grade Point Average)

An average calculated by dividing the total number of grade points obtained (credit hours x grade points) by the number of credit hours attempted

Honours Program

A specialized Arts, Commerce or Science degree program which must be completed at an above average academic level

Interdisciplinary Studies

A group of related courses from various disciplines

Letter of Permission

An official document granting prior approval to take a course from another university for credit to a Mount Allison program

Major

The discipline(s) or area of specialization selected to fulfill part of the requirements for most Arts, or Science degrees

Minor

A secondary discipline(s) or area of specialization selected to fulfill part of the requirements for most Arts, or Science degrees

Performance Indicator

An indicator of a student's progress as Satisfactory (TGPA of at least 1.5) or Unsatisfactory (TGPA of less than 1.5) at the end of each academic term. This is not an academic standing and is not recorded on the transcript. An indicator of Unsatisfactory serves as a warning that a student might be in academic jeopardy if grades do not improve and academic advising should be sought.

Prerequisite

Many courses require knowledge of material covered in other courses to ensure that a student has the background necessary to complete the course successfully. A prerequisite states the requirement that must be completed or waived before registration in a course is permitted. This requirement may consist of one or both of the following:

  1. having a certain registration status (i.e. in a particular program or having a specified standing); or

  2. having earned credit for a course or combination of courses. Students must obtain a grade of at least C- in each course used to fulfill this requirement.

Note: A student who does not have the stated prerequisite must receive written permission from the appropriate Department Head or Program Director to waive the requirement.

Registration

The process of choosing, enrolling in and paying fees for courses taken in an academic session

Session Grade Point Average (SGPA)

An average calculated by dividing the total number of grade points obtained (credit hours x grade points) by the number of credit hours attempted during the academic session

Term Grade Point Average (TGPA)

An average calculated by dividing the total number of grade points obtained (credit hours x grade points) by the number of credit hours attempted during the academic term

Transcript

An official document that lists the entire academic record of a student at an educational institution

Transfer Credit

Credit granted on a degree and/or certificate for work completed at another recognized institution. Transfer credits are not used in calculation of any Grade Point Average. The term 'non-designated' transfer credits indicates that no direct equivalency exists at Mount Allison but the transfer credit is granted and can be applied toward the credits required for a Mount Allison degree.
