3. Students who wish to write supplementary examinations must apply in writing to the department within one week of release of
grades.
4. A student who has clear or conditional standing may write a supplementary examination in a course if the final grade obtained is 4549F and if his or her term mark is at least 50%.
5. In order to pass the course, the student, must pass the supplementary examination. If the student passes the supplementary
examination, then a new grade will be calculated using the same weighting scheme as used in the course, but with the result of the
supplementary examination replacing that of the original final examination. Any additional course requirements, including a
requirement to pass the laboratory component of a course, will continue to apply.
6. If the new course grade is higher than the original, it will replace the original grade on the student's transcript, subject to the
condition that the final mark will not exceed the student's term mark. The student's transcript will indicate that the course result was
earned as the result of a supplementary examination.
7. Supplementary examinations will be written no later than the first week of the semester immediately following the one in which the
course was failed. Normally they will coincide with the writing of deferred examinations. Grades for supplementary examinations will
be submitted to the Office of the Registrar within one week following the commencement of classes for that semester.
8. A student may write a supplementary examination for any one registration in a course only once; if the course result following the
supplementary examination is a fail then the course must be repeated in order to obtain credit.

Job performance shall be assessed by the DCE coordinator in consultation with the department using information gathered
during the Work Term and input from the employer towards the end of the Work Term. Formal written documentation from
the employer shall be sought. Evaluation of the job performance will result in one of the following classifications:
OUTSTANDING, ABOVE EXPECTATIONS, SATISFACTORY, MARGINAL PASS, FAIL.
ii. The Work Report:
A student is required to submit a Work Term report to the DCE coordinator on the first day of final exams in the
semester of the Work Term
Work Term reports shall be evaluated by a faculty member and the DCE coordinator.
If an employer designates a report to be of a confidential nature, both employer and the DCE coordinator must agree as
to the methods to protect the confidentiality of such a report before the report may be accepted for evaluation.
Reports must contain original work related to the Work Term placement. The topic must relate to the work experience
and will be chosen by the student in consultation with the employer. The topic must be approved by the coordinator and
the Biology Co-op Liaison.
Evaluation of the work term will result in one of the following classifications: OUTSTANDING, ABOVE EXPECTATIONS,
SATISFACTORY, MARGINAL PASS, FAIL.
The evaluation of the job performance and the work term report are recorded separately on the transcript. Overall evaluation
of the work term will result in one of the following final grades being awarded:
Pass with Distinction: Indicates OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE in both the work report and the job performance.
Pass: Indicates that PERFORMANCE MEETS EXPECTATIONS in both the work report and the job performance.
Fail: Indicates FAILING PERFORMANCE in the work report or the job performance, or both. To remain in BCOP, a
student must obtain a final grade of Pass or higher.
If a student fails to achieve the Work Term standards specified above, the student will be required to withdraw from BCOP. Such
a student may reapply to the program, at which time the student will be required to repeat the Work Term with satisfactory
performance. Only one Work Term may be repeated in the entire program.
In order to be considered for readmission, a student must formally apply for readmission to the program not later than the
deadline date outlined under Admission Requirements above.
A student who withdraws from a Work Term without acceptable cause subsequent to a job placement will be required to
withdraw permanently from BCOP.
A student who drops a Work Term without prior approval from both the DCE coordinator and the Biology Co-op Liaison, or who
fails to honour an agreement to work with an employer, or conducts him/herself in such a manner as to cause the discharge from
the job, will be awarded an overall grade of FAIL for the Work Term in question and will be required to withdraw permanently
from BCOP.
Permission to drop a Work Term does not constitute a waiver of degree requirements, and a student who has obtained such
permission must complete an approved Work Term in lieu of the one dropped.
A dissertation (6 credit hours) is to be presented on some original piece of work undertaken by the candidate, under the guidance of a
faculty member of the department, as appointed by the Head of Department. For students electing to take one of the Joint Honours
Programs, the dissertation shall be on a topic representative of the selected program. The Department of Biology considers the
dissertation to be an important part of the Honours Program.
The dissertation will be based on a 6 credit hours course (Biology 499A/499B). It will involve directed reading relevant to the dissertation
topic, preparation of a dissertation outline, supervised research, data synthesis and interpretation, and preparation and defence of the
dissertation.
Two typed copies of the dissertation, complete with figures and tables, are to be submitted not less than two weeks before the end of
lectures in the semester in which the candidate is registered for Biology 499B. These copies must be submitted to the Head of
Department, and must have met the prior approval of the candidate's Honours supervisor.
Before the last day for examinations in the semester, the candidate will be examined orally on the contents of the dissertation. The
examining committee shall consist of the Head of the Department, or delegate, the candidate's supervisor, and an examiner appointed
by the Head of the Department in consultation with the candidate's supervisor.
