The progress of all students working toward the Master of Management degree will be reviewed regularly by the Program Academic Lead and the Dean of the Faculty of Management. A student may be required to withdraw if academic progress has not been satisfactory.
A Pass/Fail grading practice applies to all courses in the M.M program.
A student must obtain a pass in all courses in order to be considered to be progressing satisfactorily. Although satisfactory academic performance is a prerequisite to advancement, it is not the sole criterion in considering the suitability of a student for promotion or graduation. The suitability of the students in their professionalism and capacity to meet the responsibilities of leading and managing fast changing organizations will also be considered.
The Master of Management in-residence modules are intensive full-time programs. During each Module students must attend all scheduled professional development workshops, interviews, organized events and on-campus sessions.
Students are expected to notify the Program Academic Lead if any circumstances arise which conflict with the requirements of the in-residence modules.
Students must ensure that the minimum technical requirements for the program can be met before the program start date. The requirements can be found at the program website.
Students must participate in simultaneous interactive online sessions. Efforts will be made to accommodate students living in time zones outside of British Columbia, but students may be required to participate online at other than usual day-time working hours.
Students must complete degree requirements within five years of original admission into the Faculty of Management. Extensions may be granted under exceptional circumstances with the permission of the Dean of the Faculty of Management.
A candidate may be required to withdraw if progress has not been satisfactory as shown by coursework, progress on the applied project, non-participation in the in-residence modules and online courses.
The Faculty of Management also reserves the right to require a student to withdraw from the program if he or she is considered to be unsuited in their professionalism or capacity to meet the responsibilities of leading and managing fast changing organizations.
When a student is required to withdraw, the academic record will indicate “required to withdraw”.
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.
A new application form and fee must be submitted to the Master of Management Program Office and students may be readmitted to the program, as a new applicant if all current admission requirements are met.
In exceptional circumstances and at the discretion of the Dean of the Faculty of Management, a student who applies for readmission may have credited to their degree, courses and course modules successfully completed prior to withdrawal from the program, provided the courses were completed no longer than five years before the date of readmission.
If readmission is granted, current registration requirements will determine the course blocks and modules in which the student must enrol.
The Faculty of Management may impose additional requirements to ensure that the student is academically prepared to complete the degree requirements and re-integrate into a cohort in a way that will benefit both the student’s and the cohort’s learning.
Readmission will not be granted until a time that is suited to meeting the forgoing requirements for re-integration.
Students required to withdraw from the program more than once are not thereafter eligible to be considered for admission to the program.
Students whose performance and attendance is significantly affected by reason of conflicting responsibilities or unforeseen events may apply for Academic Concession by using the Master of Management Request for Withdrawal form and consulting the Program Academic Lead.
A student who does not complete formal withdrawal procedures will be liable for all assessed fees until such procedures are completed.
Students in good academic standing who have been permitted to voluntarily withdraw from the program may apply to the Master of Management Program Office to be re-instated into the program.
A student who is required to withdraw for academic reasons is not eligible for reinstatement.
