SCHOLAR'S ELECTIVES PROGRAM

The Scholar's Electives Program allows students who have demonstrated outstanding academic potential to elect their own program of studies in consultation with the departments concerned and with the approval of the Deans' office(s) involved. The Dean(s) will also appoint a faculty advisor for each senior student in the program. Students enrolled in the Scholar's Electives Program are able to pursue one of the Theme Areas discussed below or a combination of two subjects for which a formal joint program is not generally available, or an interdisciplinary combination of courses from different subjects which constitutes an appropriate liberal education. The Educational Development Office facilitates the initial registration of students in the Scholar's Electives Programs, especially for students entering it in their First Year. However, admission to the program is granted by the Dean of the Faculty designated by the applicant, who is responsible for the academic counselling for the student.

Each Affiliated College may offer a Scholar's Electives program leading to a BA degree under the same conditions. Admission to the program shall be granted by the Dean or the Principal of an Affiliated College and, where appropriate, in consultation with the Dean of the appropriate constituent university Faculties involved in the proposed course of study. See the Calendar of the appropriate Affiliated College for Theme Areas available at that institution.

See SCHOLAR'S ELECTIVES PROGRAM section (Pointer).

Degree Requirements

To be eligible for graduation, students must maintain an "A" (80%) average in each year of study and fulfil the requirements of one of the degree programs specified below. The diploma awarded will record both the status of Scholar's Electives and the appropriate discipline(s) designation as recommended by the Dean.
