Registration – FMT
Students in the Farm Management and Technology program must register online using Minerva at mcgill.ca/minerva for each semester at ¿´Æ¬ÊÓƵ.
Academic Standing – FMT
Academic Standing – FMT
In their first semester, students who fail half or more of the courses for which they are registered or obtain a weighted average grade below 60% in their first term in the FMT program are placed in unsatisfactory standing and are required to withdraw from the program for a period of at least one semester. If after this period, students wish to be readmitted, they must apply in writing to the Director of the Program.
After the first semester, when a student’s cumulative weighted average grade or semestrial weighted average grade drop below 60%, or when a student fails half or more of the courses for which he/she is registered in any one term, the student is placed on academic probation. Students on probation may be limited to a maximum of 10 credits for the following semester, if the Director and/or the Associate Director believe this action to be in the best interest of the student. Course registration is subject to approval by the Associate Director for the following semester.
Students who are on academic probation for two semesters in a row are placed on unsatisfactory standing and are asked to withdraw from the Program. They may apply in writing to the Director or Associate-Director for readmission after a 6 to 12-month waiting period.
Any student who is readmitted to the FMT Program after having been placed on unsatisfactory standing is automatically placed on academic probation for the semester into which he/she is readmitted. The conditions mentioned in the second paragraph above still apply.
