A student who fails to meet the progression standards in any year of the combined program must withdraw from the combined program. With permission from the Director of Kinesiology and/or the HBA Program Director, the student may continue in one program and request permission from the other Faculty or School to complete that program at a later date.

A student who fails to meet the progression standards in any year of the combined program may appeal the decision in writing to the Director of Kinesiology and/or the HBA Program Director in which the progression standards were not met in accordance with the University's policies on Academic Rights and Responsibilities.

Dean's Honour List

At the Richard Ivey School of Business, students are considered for the Dean's Honour List during their first year of HBA. Students enrolled in Years 4 and 5 of the combined degree program are considered for the Dean's Honour List in Year 5 only. Only grades obtained in 4000-level Business courses will be used in calculating averages for the purpose of determination of Dean's Honour List standing. The Dean's Honour List for HBA2 typically includes the top 25% of all of HBA2 and is determined by vote of the teaching faculty. Courses taken outside the Business School are excluded. Calculations for Ivey Scholar and Gold Medals are completed in the same way.

In the School of Kinesiology, students will be adjudicated for the Dean's Honour List based on all courses taken in the academic year (i.e. September – April) provided the student is registered in a minimum of four full or equivalent courses. In addition, an average of 80% must be achieved on all courses taken toward the Kinesiology degree with a minimum of at least 60% in each course.

Graduation With Distinction

A student who receives an overall average of 80% and no grade lower than 70% on the entire program with no failed courses will receive the designation graduation "With Distinction".
