Contact the Office of Student Academic Services by e-mail at euadvise@yorku.ca to book an appointment.

Note: for detailed information on Academic Warnings, Probation and Withdrawal please see the Undergraduate Handbook.

Continuing in Honours - Students whose cumulative grade point averages fall below 5.00 (C+) during the course of their studies may proceed in an Honours program, on warning, provided that they meet the year level progression requirements set out below:

Year Level	Credits Completed	Cumulative Grade Point Average
1	Fewer than 24 credits	4.00
2	24 to 53 credits	4.25
3	54 to 83 credits	4.80
4	84 to 120 credits	5.00

F NGR (No Grade Reported) - A grade of F with a qualifier of NGR (No Grade Reported) has been assigned to the student's record because the instructor did not report a grade. Contact the appropriate course director for follow-up.

NCR (No Credit Retained) - The course does not count towards satisfaction of academic degree or certificate credit requirements and is not included in grade point averages (major, cumulative, sessional and overall).

Decision Pending/Deferred Standing Granted - These statements mean that no final academic decision can be made on the student’s academic status until all outstanding course(s) work is submitted and outstanding grades have been received.

May Proceed Only in BES. The overall grade point average is below the minimum requirement listed above for the Honours BES and as such, students can only continue their studies in the bachelor’s program (90 credits).
