Academic Regulations

Academic Regulations for the Master of Management Dual Degree option can be found in the Master of Management Dual Degree Program Option entry.

Unless discussed below, the Master of Management program follows the Campus-wide Policies and Regulations found here.

Academic Progress

The progress of all students working toward the Master of Management degree will be reviewed regularly by the Dean or Dean's designate of the Faculty of Management. A student may be required to withdraw if academic progress has not been satisfactory.

A student must pass all courses to be considered to be progressing satisfactorily.

• Where a pass is not obtained in a course, and based on approval of the Dean or Dean's designate of the Faculty of Management, the student may repeat a course for higher standing. If the Dean or Dean's designate does not approve this course of action, the student will be required to withdraw from the program.
• If a course is repeated, both standings will appear on the transcript.

Attendance and Participation

Students must ensure that the minimum technical requirements for the program can be met before the program start date. The requirements can be found here.

• Students will be expected to complete all assigned readings and other preparatory work; to complete and submit in a timely fashion all assigned work and to participate actively in all interactive course components.
• Students who do not participate fully in all course components will normally be asked to withdraw from the program.
• Students who cannot participate in a course, or a substantial portion of a course, by reason of medical, emotional, or similar circumstances should apply for special consideration (see Academic Concession).

Withdrawal, Readmission and Reinstatement

UBC Initiated Withdrawal

A candidate may be required to withdraw if progress has not been satisfactory as shown by coursework or non-participation in courses.

When a student is required to withdraw, the academic record will indicate “required to withdraw”.

Readmission

A student who is required to withdraw will not normally be eligible to apply for readmission to the Master of Management program for at least one year. Readmission follows the admission process outlined here.

Grading

For students registered in the Faculty of Management’s Master of Management program, Fail (F) for individual courses is defined as below 60%:
 

However, only 6 credits of courses with grades in the C to C+ range (60-67%) may be counted toward a master's program. For all other courses, students must obtain a minimum of 68%. Some graduate programs may require a higher passing grade for specific courses.
