3.4 Definition and Explanation of Terms Used in this Calendar

3.4.1 Special/Selected Topics Courses
Where a block of courses has been approved under a general heading such as selected topics, special areas, directed readings or like
heading, each new course offered from that block of courses shall be approved in advance by the Faculty/School Council (or delegated
Graduate Studies Committee). To ensure an orderly use of the courses and non-duplication between course numbers, titles and
contents, the Council (or Committee) shall require the same quality and type of information as is needed for the approval of a regular
course. (Consult the School of Graduate Studies or Deputy Registrar for administrative procedures.)

3.4.2 Associate Vice-President (Academic) and Dean of Graduate Studies

In all regulations following, reference to the "Associate Vice-President (Academic)" and the Dean of Graduate Studies, "the Dean" refers
specifically to the Dean of Graduate Studies.

3.4.3 Credit Hour

A credit hour is the measure used to reflect the relative weight of a given course towards the fulfilment of appropriate degree, diploma,
certificate, major, minor, or other program requirements. Normally, a course has a credit value of 3 credit hours. A weight of one credit
hour normally means that the course meets for lectures one hour per week for the duration of a semester or two hours per week for the
duration of a session. The number of hours of required instruction, outside of lecture time, such as laboratory instruction, tutorials, etc.
may or may not impact on the number of credit hours assigned to a particular course and academic units may recommend to the Senate
a greater or lesser whole number of credit hours for a particular course.

3.4.4 Graduate Course

1. A graduate course comprises a unit/units of work in a particular subject normally extending through one semester, the completion of
which carries credit toward the fulfilment of the requirements for a postbaccalaureate degree, diploma, or certificate.
2. Accelerated courses are not normally permissible in graduate programs.
3. Courses required as part of a graduate student's program are known as program courses. Tuition for such courses is covered by the
semester fee.
4. Courses which are not required as part of a graduate student's program are known as non-program courses. Students registering for
such courses will be required to pay the appropriate per-course fee.
586 School of Graduate Studies 2022-2023

3.4.5 Policy Governing the Auditing of Courses

1. In order to audit any course, an individual must receive permission from the instructor in that course, the Supervisor/advisor, and the
administrative Head of the unit in which the course is offered. Matters to be considered shall include class size, impact on students
registered for credit, and other factors judged relevant by the academic unit. Permission cannot be given until the number of
registrations for credit is known.
2. Individuals auditing courses shall limit their participation to that deemed appropriate by the instructor; auditors are not permitted to
write formal examinations, nor to have their work formally assessed.
3. Students who require a testamur of audition may request the same from the instructor of the course. Students will not register for
audit courses nor will a record of audit courses appear on students' transcripts.

3.4.6 Semester
A semester means a period of approximately 14 consecutive weeks during which the University is in regular session and in which period
there are at least 12 teaching weeks as defined by the Senate. Normally the Fall semester commences in early September, the Winter
semester in early January, and the Spring semester in early May.

3.4.7 Academic Year

The academic year is from September 1 of one year to August 31 of the following year.

3.4.8 Graduate Student

1. A graduate student is one who has been admitted to and enrolled in a graduate degree or a graduate diploma program, or has been
admitted and enrolled as a non-degree graduate student or a visiting graduate student.
2. A full-time graduate student is one who registers as such, devotes full time to the student’s academic program and may not commit
more than 24 hours a week working time, including teaching assistant or research assistant duties, to matters other than the degree
program.
3. A part-time graduate student is one who is registered for the duration of a semester and is not classified as full-time. Non-degree
graduate students are also considered part-time graduate students.
4. Graduate students facing extenuating circumstances, including financial need, may be allowed by the Dean to work more than 24
hours a week outside of the degree program and still be deemed a full-time graduate student. Such requests must be made to the
Dean of the School of Graduate Studies by the student’s supervisor (when applicable) and the Head of the appropriate academic
unit, and should include grounds for the request, expected duration of the extra work, and a revised study plan that accounts for the
extra work to be undertaken.

3.4.9 Non-Degree Graduate Student

1. With permission from the academic unit, individuals who are not enrolled in a graduate program may take graduate courses for
personal or professional development (up to 3 credit hours per semester, and 6 credit hours in total). This non-degree category is
intended for individuals who want to take graduate courses at Memorial University of Newfoundland without pursuing a graduate
program. It is not intended for individuals who are not in good academic standing.
2. Such students would have to apply for admission as a non-degree graduate student and would be required to meet the minimum
admission requirements for a graduate program.
3. All normal regulations governing graduate students would apply to non-degree graduate students, with the exception of academic
fees and registration. Non-degree graduate students would be charged tuition as non-program courses as indicated in Graduate
Course above and fees at the current undergraduate per course rates. Non-degree graduate students would only be registered for
the semesters during which they are taking courses.
4. Non-degree graduate students would be required to submit a new application if they do not register for a course in three consecutive
semesters.
5. Graduate courses successfully completed (with a passing grade of B or better) as a non-degree graduate student may be
transferred later to a graduate program upon the recommendation of the academic unit as indicated under Transfer of Course
Credits. Transferred courses would not have any effect on the fees for the graduate program. Enrolment as a non-degree graduate
student does not guarantee access to all graduate course offerings nor does it imply future admission into a graduate program.

3.4.10 Visiting Graduate Student

1. A student who is registered in good standing in a graduate program at another recognized institution who comes to Memorial
University of Newfoundland to conduct research under the supervision of Memorial University of Newfoundland faculty members is
considered to be a visiting graduate student. In order to obtain access to University resources such a student will be required to
register each semester of their visit for GRAD 9900.
2. To be eligible to register, a visiting graduate student must submit an Application for Admission form to the School of Graduate
Studies, accompanied by: a) a letter from their home institution verifying graduate student status, and b) a letter from the host faculty
member confirming the duration of the visit. The student will then be admitted to the School of Graduate Studies as a visiting
graduate student.
3. Visiting graduate students will be exempt from tuition fees. However, all visiting graduate students will be required, as a condition of
registration, to purchase health insurance (international students should contact the International Student Advisor, whereas
Canadian citizens or permanent residents of Canada should contact the Graduate Students' Union for more information). If a visiting
graduate student wishes to register for a course while at Memorial University of Newfoundland, the student must meet the University
admission requirements and pay the undergraduate per course fee as indicated at the Financial and Administrative Services website
at www.mun.ca/finance/fees/.
Note: A student enrolled in a graduate program at another university who wishes to complete courses at Memorial University of Newfoundland for transfer
of credit to the student's home institution is not considered to be a visiting graduate student under this definition.

3.4.11 Program
1. A program, whether it comprises courses only, courses and comprehensive examination, or courses, internship, project, thesis
research, paper folio is defined for each graduate student in accordance with Departmental and University Regulations. Each
program of study is recommended by the appropriate academic unit, and must be approved in writing by the Dean of Graduate
 School of Graduate Studies 2022-2023 587

Studies before the beginning of the graduate student's second year of study.
2. Responsibility for the administration of the program shall rest with the Dean acting on behalf of the School.
Note: The following general statements concerning admission and Degree requirements should be supplemented by the detailed regulations governing
each program.

3.4.12 Collaborative Program Agreements

3.4.12.1 Integrated Pathway Agreements
1. Memorial University of Newfoundland supports the establishment of agreements with partner institutions that may lead to the
completion of multiple degree programs through an integrated pathway.
2. Examples of such agreements include but are not exclusive to 3+1+1 and 3+1+2 arrangements whereby an undergraduate degree
is awarded by the partner institution and the graduate degree is awarded by Memorial University of Newfoundland.
3. In the 3+1+1 arrangement, a student would complete 3 years of the undergraduate studies at the partner institution, finish the 4th
year at Memorial University of Newfoundland, and earn the bachelor’s degree at the partner institution. The student would then
enroll in and complete a 1-year master’s program and earn a master’s degree at Memorial University of Newfoundland.
4. In the 3+1+2 arrangement, a student would complete 3 years of undergraduate studies at the partner institution, finish the 4th year at
Memorial University of Newfoundland, and earn the bachelor’s degree at the partner institution. The student would then enroll in and
complete a 2-year master’s program and earn a master’s degree at Memorial University of Newfoundland.
5. All such agreements must comply with the general regulations governing undergraduate and graduate programs at Memorial
University of Newfoundland.
6. Memorial University of Newfoundland’s Guidelines for Integrated Pathway Agreements provides details on the method of
establishing such an agreement. The Guidelines are available from the School of Graduate Studies.

3.4.12.2 Cotutelle Agreements

1. Memorial University of Newfoundland offers graduate students the opportunity to carry out a joint research project through a
cotutelle agreement between Memorial University of Newfoundland and another recognized institution. The student would be
expected to participate in research and fulfill degree requirements at both institutions. Students who successfully complete all
program requirements would earn doctoral degrees from both institutions. Memorial University of Newfoundland’s Guidelines for
Cotutelle Agreements, approved by the Academic Council of the School of Graduate Studies, provides information on the details on
the method of establishing such an agreement and program. The Guidelines are available from the School of Graduate Studies.
2. Upon successful completion of the program, Memorial University of Newfoundland and the cooperating institution will each issue its
own doctoral degree certificate. On the certificate and subsequently on the university transcript, the following notation will be added:
“This Ph.D. was awarded within a cotutelle agreement. The student was jointly enrolled at University XYZ and Memorial University of
Newfoundland and successfully completed the degree requirements of both institutions.”
3. Graduate students interested in this type of program should contact the School of Graduate Studies for further information.

4.3 Registration
4.3.1 Program Registration
1. All graduate students must be registered in each semester for the graduate program registration appropriate to their discipline (see
note) until all academic requirements for the degree have been met, except during periods for which leaves of absence have been
granted (see Leaves of Absence).
Note: e.g., Linguistics 9000, Chemistry 9000 or, in the case of Medicine, Medicine 9900.
2. Students in course-based graduate programs must also be registered for a course every semester (or be working on a course for
which they received an incomplete grade in an earlier semester). It is the student’s responsibility to inform the Head of the academic
unit if there are extenuating circumstances that prevent them from registering for a course in a given semester. In such a case, the
student should request a leave of absence, as outlined under Leaves of Absence, by the appropriate deadline. Students in course-
based graduate programs who fail to register for a course for more than one semester per academic year may see their programs
terminated due to lack of progress as outlined under Termination of a Graduate Program.
3. A student registered in a graduate diploma, Master's, Ph.D., or Psy.D. program may not concurrently pursue studies leading to any
other degree without the prior approval of the Dean.

4.3.2 Program Withdrawal

Students intending to withdraw from their program must inform the Dean of Graduate Studies in writing. Ceasing to participate in a
course, dropping a course, or informing an instructor of the intent to drop a course does not constitute formal withdrawal from a graduate
program. The period of withdrawal from a program without incurring liability for that semester's fees is three weeks after the first day of
lectures in the semester in question, as stated in the University Diary. Requests received after the end of the regular registration
period, and approved, will be charged an administration fee as indicated at the Financial and Administrative Services website at
www.mun.ca/finance/fees/.

4.3.3 Course Registration

Note: For interdisciplinary programs, the Head of the academic unit is the Dean or Director of the Faculty/School administering the program.
1. Students will register for courses at the times indicated in the University Diary.
2. Students not admitted to a graduate program may enroll in graduate courses with the permission of the Head of the appropriate
academic unit.

4.3.4 Changes in Course Registrations

Note: For interdisciplinary programs, the Head of the academic unit is the Dean or Director of the Faculty/School administering the program.
1. Within two weeks following the first day of lectures in any semester, as stated in the University Diary, a graduate student may, upon
the approval of the appropriate Head of academic unit, add a course or courses to the student's registration for that semester.
2. Within eight weeks after the first day of lectures in any semester, as stated in the University Diary, a graduate student may, upon
the approval of the appropriate Head of academic unit, drop a course or courses from the student's registration for that semester
without prejudice.
3. After the period described in 2. above has expired, and up until the last day of lectures, any student who is prevented from
completing a course by illness, bereavement or other acceptable cause, duly authenticated in writing may, upon the
recommendation of the Head of the appropriate academic unit, drop that course without academic prejudice.
Note: A course cannot be dropped after the last day of lectures without the approval of the Dean of Graduate Studies.

semesters in residence as a graduate student at this University.
b. Except where provided for elsewhere in this calendar, each student for a Ph.D. or Psy.D. shall normally spend at least three
semesters in residence as a graduate student at this University.
c. To be resident as a graduate student of this university a student must be registered as a graduate student at Memorial University
of Newfoundland and participate in a community of learners and instructors (formally or informally) who are joined together by
the practices and standards of a profession or an academic discipline. For most students this will involve taking courses or
engaging in research while resident on campus. These attributes may, however, be found elsewhere and it is possible therefore
that the residency requirement may be satisfied in an off campus location. In such cases the Dean of Graduate Studies must be
satisfied that the attributes are met.
d. Except where provided for elsewhere in this Calendar, each student for a graduate diploma shall normally spend at least one
semester in residence as a graduate student at this University.
2. The maximum period of a graduate program shall be seven years beyond first registration.

4.3.6 Leaves of Absence

4.3.6.1 General
1. A leave of absence is a period of time during which a student is not required to register; no fees are assessed; and the time granted
is not counted in the maximum time period permitted for a graduate program (see Period of Study).
2. In the event that circumstances prevent a student from pursuing the program, the student may apply to the Dean of Graduate
Studies for a leave of absence.
3. A student may normally apply for only one leave of absence during the student's program. The maximum leave of absence shall
normally not exceed 12 months.
4. An application for leave will normally be made before the end of the registration period in the first semester for which leave is
requested. Requests received after the end of the regular registration period, and approved, will be charged an administration fee as
indicated at the Financial and Administrative Services website at www.mun.ca/finance/fees/.

2. Waivers of Departmental regulations may be granted by the Dean of Graduate Studies on the recommendation of the Head of an
academic unit.
3. Requests for waiver of a degree or general regulation must be submitted to the Academic Council of the School of Graduate
Studies.

4.6 Appeal of Decisions

4.6.1 General Information
1. Every graduate student has the right to appeal decisions resulting from the application of University regulations.
2. Appeals will be considered in the case of health issues, bereavement, and/or other acceptable cause, duly authenticated.
3. For assistance in the appeals process, a student is advised to consult with the School of Graduate Studies.
4. In preparing an appeal a student may consult advisors or facilitators. Such advisors or facilitators may include an international
student advisor, a faculty advisor, a counsellor, a representative from the Memorial University of Newfoundland Graduate Students'
Union (GSU), or a faculty member who is familiar with the appeals process and who is willing to undertake the role of student
advisor or facilitator.
5. Appeals are made before specific committees that exist at the University to provide an objective review of cases. The appeals
process is designed to assist students at critical points in their graduate program and to provide an accessible and transparent
process for students. Refer also to Routes of Appeal of Academic Regulations for information concerning where appeals should
be directed.
6. The principles of natural justice shall be applied to the appeals processes and decisions. These principles include, but are not limited
to, such practices as all parties to the appeal receiving timely and adequate notice, all parties to the appeal having the opportunity to
submit arguments and supporting documentation, and all parties to the appeal being made aware of the evidence considered by the
committee. No person will sit in judgment on an appeal if that person has been previously involved in a decision-making process
related to the matter under appeal or if that person has any conflict of interest, bias, or reasonable apprehension of bias.
7. While the University makes provision for students to appeal decisions made under University regulations, the academic, financial, or
other consequences of the appeal process rests with the student.
8. When an appeal is denied, the student will be advised in writing of the reasons for the decision and if there are further steps that can
be taken in the appeals process.
9. A student whose appeal is denied by the Appeals Committee of the School of Graduate Studies may appeal to the Senate
Committee on Academic Appeals. Academic units whose decisions are overturned by the Appeals Committee of the School of
Graduate Studies may appeal to the Senate Committee on Academic Appeals. Decisions of the Senate Committee on Academic
Appeals are final and within the University there is no further appeal.
10. Unless the student bringing the appeal requests otherwise, student appeals are heard anonymously by all committees except the
Senate Committee on Academic Appeals.

4.6.2 Routes of Appeal of Academic Regulations

1. Normally, the responsibility for making an appeal before the appropriate committee of the University rests with the student.
2. A student who is ineligible to officially register for courses but who wishes to attend classes, laboratories, or other educational
activities while an appeal is in progress can do so only with the written permission of the Head of the academic unit concerned. Such
permission will not unnecessarily be withheld.
3. A student whose request for waiver of regulations has been denied may direct the appeal as described below.
Appeals against decisions of the Head of an academic unit will be made directly to the Dean of Graduate Studies.
Appeals against decisions of the Dean may be made to the Appeals Committee, School of Graduate Studies. Letters of appeal
should be directed to the Chair of the Appeals Committee, c/o School of Graduate Studies.
Appeals against decisions of the Executive Committee of the Academic Council may be made to the Appeals Committee,
School of Graduate Studies. Letters of appeal should be directed to the Chair of the Appeals Committee, c/o School of Graduate
Studies.
Appeals against decisions of the Appeals Committee, School of Graduate Studies, may be made to the Senate Committee on
Academic Appeals, c/o Office of the Registrar.

4.6.3 Route for Questioning Grades of Courses and Examinations

1. Appeals cannot be made on the basis of the grades awarded in individual courses, Comprehensive Examinations, or examinations
of theses and reports.
2. Notwithstanding the above, and recognizing that the awarding of grades is an academic matter within the purview of experts in a
discipline or subject area, a student who wishes to question the award of grades in individual courses is encouraged to consult with
the following in the order given:
the course instructor
the Head of the appropriate academic unit
the Dean of the appropriate Faculty/School, Associate Vice-President (Academic) of the Grenfell Campus or Vice-President of
592 School of Graduate Studies 2022-2023
the Marine Institute.
3. A student who wishes to question the grade of a Comprehensive Examination, or the examination of a thesis or report, is
encouraged to consult with the Dean of Graduate Studies.

4.6.4 Appeals to the School of Graduate Studies

1. All appeals must be made in writing, clearly stating the basis for the appeal, and must be directed to the Dean or the Chair of the
Appeals Committee of the School of Graduate Studies in accordance with Routes of Appeal of Academic Regulations.
2. In the Letter of Appeal, the student must clearly and fully provide:
name,
current address and telephone number,
Memorial University of Newfoundland e-mail address,
student ID number,
the decision being appealed,
the grounds for the appeal, and
the resolution being sought.
3. When providing grounds for the appeal, including health issues, bereavement and/or other acceptable cause, a student must
present independent evidence to corroborate statements made in the Letter of Appeal. Preferably, this evidence will come from a
professional, such as a health professional, a counsellor, or a professor. However letters from other knowledgeable parties may be
acceptable.
4. A student shall include with the letter of appeal any submissions the student wishes to make in support of the appeal.
5. In cases where an appeal is made on health issues, the student must provide an original certificate from a health professional. This
should normally be in the form of the Student Health Certificate, available at www.mun.ca/regoff/forms.php. A student should refer to
the policy respecting Information Required for Certificates from Health Professionals for more complete information.
6. A student claiming bereavement as grounds must provide an obituary notice or death certificate, together with evidence of a close
personal relationship between the student and the deceased.
7. Privacy and Confidentiality: The committees to which appeals are made do require substantial information about the reasons for the
appeal in order to make their decisions. However, the committees also recognize each student's right to privacy and their
obligations, under the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act, to safeguard students' personal information.

4.6.5 Appeals to the Senate Committee on Academic Appeals

1. Appeals shall be initiated by submitting a written Notice of Appeal, c/o Office of the Registrar, containing the following:
When the Notice of Appeal is from a student:
name,
current address and telephone number,
Memorial University of Newfoundland e-mail address,
student ID number,
a copy of the decision giving rise to the appeal,
supporting documentation,
a description of the matter under appeal,
the grounds of appeal, and

name of representative of the academic unit,
Memorial University of Newfoundland e-mail address,
a copy of the decision giving rise to the appeal,
supporting documentation,
a description of the matter under appeal,
the grounds of appeal, and
the resolution being sought.
2. The Notice of Appeal should include, in writing, relevant information in support of the appeal.
3. Except with the approval of the Executive Committee of Senate, notices of appeal shall be submitted no later than the last day of
classes in the semester following the semester in which the decision under appeal was sent to the student.
4. In accordance with the principles of natural justice, students and academic units are entitled to make an oral presentation.
5. Appeals shall be heard either through written submissions only or through an oral hearing, as requested. No inferences will be drawn
from the choice.
6. When appeal is heard by an oral presentation, a student may be accompanied by an advisor (see Appeal of Decisions, General
Information, 4.). A student may participate in person, by way of teleconference, or by such other means approved in advance by the
Committee; however, expenses incurred by the student are the responsibility of the student.
7. When providing the grounds for the appeal, including health issues, bereavement, and/or other acceptable cause, a student must
present independent evidence to corroborate statements made in the Notice of Appeal. Preferably, this evidence will come from a
professional, such as a health professional, a counsellor, or a professor. However letters from other knowledgeable parties may be
acceptable.
8. A student may include with the Notice of Appeal any submissions the student wishes to make in support of the appeal.
9. In cases where an appeal is made on health issues, the student must provide an original certificate from a health professional. This
should normally be in the form of the Student Health Certificate, available at www.mun.ca/regoff/forms.php. A student should refer to
the policy respecting Information Required for Certificates from Health Professionals for more complete information.

10. A student claiming bereavement as grounds must provide an obituary notice or death certificate, together with evidence of a close
personal relationship between the student and the deceased.
11. Privacy and Confidentiality: The committees to which appeals are made do require substantial information about the reasons for the
appeal in order to make their decisions. However, the committees also recognize each student's right to privacy and their
obligations, under the Access to Information and Protection of Privacy Act, to safeguard a student's personal information.
12. Decisions of the Senate Committee on Academic Appeals are final and within the University there is no further appeal.

4.6.6 Information Required for Certificates from Health Professionals

1. A student who requests permission to drop courses, to withdraw from University studies, to have examinations deferred, or to obtain
other waivers of University, departmental, or course regulations based on health issues is required by the University to provide, in
support of the request, a certificate from a health professional in the form of a note or letter. While not compulsory, this should
normally be in the form of the Student Health Certificate, available at www.mun.ca/regoff/forms.php. If a note or letter is provided
other than in the form of the Student Health Certificate, the submission must be on letterhead. Such certificates must be sufficiently
specific to allow a proper consideration of a student's case. The University requires that all such certificates must be signed by the
health professional, must confirm the specific dates on which the student visited the health professional, and should include details
on the following:
the degree to which the health issue (or treatment, in the case of medication, for example) is likely to have affected the student's
ability to study, attend classes, sit examinations, or continue with research;
the length of time over which the student's abilities were likely hampered by the condition (e.g., recurring and severe back pain
over a two-month period would likely have a more adverse effect on studies than a single episode of back pain requiring bed
rest for a week); and
the fitness of the student to resume studies (it is in the student's best interest not to return to studies prematurely).
2. The University respects the privacy of students and will keep confidential all such certificates. A student should request that the
health professional retain a copy of such a certificate in case the certificate needs to be verified or reissued at a later date.

4.7 Evaluation
Note: For interdisciplinary programs, the Head of the academic unit is the Dean or Director of the Faculty/School administering the program.

4.7.2 Evaluation of Graduate Students

1. Failure to attain a final passing grade of 'A' or 'B' in a program course shall lead to termination of a student's program unless:
a. the regulations for a particular degree allow the student to repeat the course. Only one such repeat will be permitted in a
student's program. Failure to obtain a grade of 'A' or 'B' in the repeated course shall lead to termination of the student's program.
b. the Dean of Graduate Studies approves a repeat of the course, upon the recommendation of the Supervisor and the Supervisory
Committee supported by the Head of the academic unit, where 1.a. above does not apply. Such recommendations must provide
sufficient grounds for a repeat. Only one such repeat will be permitted in a student's program. Failure to obtain a grade of 'A' or
'B' in the repeated course shall lead to termination of the student's program.
Note: In exceptional circumstances, the Dean of Graduate Studies may approve a substitute course in place of the repeat upon the recommendation of
the Supervisory Committee and Supervisor supported by the Head of the academic unit. Failure to obtain a grade of 'A' or 'B' in the substituted

4.10.4 Evaluation of Ph.D. and Psy.D. Theses

Students for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy and the Degree of Doctor of Psychology must submit a written dissertation deemed
acceptable by the University, and demonstrate their ability to defend their work in a public oral examination. For this reason, the final
decision on whether a student will be recommended for the award of the degree is made only at the conclusion of the oral examination
(see The Examination Process).
1. Responsibilities of the Thesis Examining Board
The work of each student will be assessed by a Thesis Examining Board. Its first responsibility is to determine whether the thesis
successfully demonstrates the student's competence to undertake independent research work. The Board must be satisfied that the
work contributes significantly to knowledge in the field of study; that the contribution is of high scholarly merit; that the student is
aware of the pertinent published literature; that it is written in a satisfactory style; and that it is free from typographical and other
mechanical errors. The second responsibility of the Board is to conduct a final oral examination of the student and to then
recommend to the Dean of Graduate Studies whether the student should be awarded the Degree.
2. Composition of the Thesis Examining Board
The members of the Thesis Examining Board will be appointed by the Dean on the recommendation of the Head of the academic
unit who will have consulted with the supervisory committee. The Board shall consist of four members. Normally these will be the
student's Supervisor (who serves on the Board in a non-voting capacity), two examiners from within the University, and one from
outside the University. However, when circumstances warrant, a second external examiner may be substituted for one of the internal
examiners with permission of the Dean. Examiners shall normally be those who have completed a graduate degree at the doctoral
level, including a thesis, in the discipline or cognate area. Members of the supervisory committee other than the Supervisor are
ineligible for appointment to the Board. Those serving as examiners shall not have been involved in the preparation of the thesis/
report.
3. The Examination Process
a. The voting members of the Board shall submit written reports on the thesis containing an assessment of the quality of the written
work and a recommendation as to whether the student should be permitted to proceed to an oral examination and defence of the
work. An examiner may recommend:
i. that the student be allowed to proceed to the oral defence of the thesis*; or
 School of Graduate Studies 2022-2023 597

ii. that the student not be allowed to proceed to the oral defence at this time**; or
iii. that the student should be failed.
*Any suggested corrections or revisions should be outlined in the examiner's report. It is understood that it will be the
responsibility of the Supervisory Committee to discuss the suggested changes with the student, to determine which should be
incorporated in the thesis before its final submission.
**This recommendation reflects the examiner's opinion that further research, re-analysis of data, or thorough rewriting of the
material is required. The thesis may, however, be re-submitted for examination.
b. If all examiners recommend that the student should be failed, then the thesis shall not be re-examined.
c. If an examiner recommends that the student not be allowed to proceed to the oral defence, and this recommendation is
accepted by the Dean, then the student may apply to the Dean for permission to resubmit the thesis for re-examination in one of
the following ways:
i. to submit a modified thesis to the original examiners.
ii. to submit a modified thesis to new examiners.
iii. to submit the original thesis to an Examination Board to be appointed by the Dean.
d. No student will be permitted to re-submit a thesis more than once. In case of a re-submitted thesis an examiner may recommend
only:
i. that the student be allowed to proceed to the oral defence of the thesis; or
ii. that the student should be failed.
e. After receiving the reports from all three voting members of the Board the Dean will consider the recommendations and
determine whether an oral defence of the thesis will be scheduled.
f. The Final Oral Examination and Defence of Thesis will take place at a time and place to be determined by the Dean of Graduate
Studies and will be chaired by the Dean or delegate. The presence of all members of the Examining Board is normally required.
g. Following the defence, the Board will meet in camera to render a final assessment of the thesis and the student's ability to
defend the their work. The Board may recommend one of the following outcomes:
i. Passed*
ii. Passed Subject to Conditions**
iii. Re-examination required***

*This recommendation may have attached to it the requirement that the student complete certain specified revisions to the
satisfaction of the Supervisory Committee, the Head of the academic unit and the Dean. These revisions must have been
specified in the written appraisal submitted prior to the Oral Examination.
** This recommendation is made only if there are significant flaws in the student’s work that come to light during the oral
defence. Such flaws must be separate from, or in addition to, anything noted or specified in the written appraisals submitted prior
to the oral defence. The flaws must also be of such importance that the main conclusions of the thesis are deemed invalid as a
result of their existence. This recommendation must have the details attached and cannot include the option of re-examination.
***The members of the Thesis Examination Board may attach to this recommendation a list of any requirements which they feel
are appropriate.
****Re-examination not permitted.
h. If the members of the Board are unanimous in their recommendation, the Chair of the Examination may accept this

4.11 Graduation Procedure

Memorial University of Newfoundland awards undergraduate and graduate degrees, diplomas, and certificates three times per year.
Normally, this takes place at regular convocation ceremonies that are held each Spring and Fall to celebrate those graduands who
completed programs by the end of the preceding Winter and Spring semesters, respectively. An in-absentia graduation occurs each
Winter to award degrees, diplomas, and certificates to those graduands who completed programs by the end of the preceding Fall
semester.
Students who are fulfilling, or have fulfilled, all academic requirements (including final submission of a graduate thesis, where applicable)
for their programs are strongly encouraged to apply to graduate on the prescribed "Application for Graduation" form. This form may be
obtained on-line at the Memorial Self Service at selfservice.mun.ca. The deadlines for application submission are July 15 for Fall
(October) graduation, January 3 for Winter (February) in-absentia graduation, and January 15 for Spring (May) graduation. Applications
received after these dates will be processed as time and resources permit. Additional information is available from the Office of the
Registrar at www.mun.ca/regoff/graduation. Information regarding Convocation, including the dates of the ceremony, is available at
598 School of Graduate Studies 2022-2023
www.mun.ca/convocation.

4.12 Academic Misconduct

4.12.1 Principles
In the course of a graduate degree program a student is expected to adhere to those principles which constitute proper academic
conduct. Within the University community there is a collective responsibility to maintain a high level of scholarly integrity. Dishonesty has
no place in the academic community. Academic misconduct cannot be condoned or even appear to be condoned. A student has the
responsibility to ascertain those actions which could be construed as dishonest or improper. Certain flagrant violations are listed below
under Academic Offences. A student is reminded that for guidance on proper scholarly behaviour the student should seek assistance
from the student's instructors and supervisors. The Graduate Students' Union will provide a student with information on legal rights and
the information that advice about acceptable writing standards is available through the Writing Centre.

4.12.2 General Information

1. These procedures shall apply to all academic offences relating to graduate studies involving, but not limited to, those students who
either have been or who are enrolled at Memorial University of Newfoundland. Notification of an allegation of academic misconduct
will be forwarded to the last known mailing address of the student as noted on the files at the Office of the Registrar, and to the
official University email address of the student. The University reserves the right to implement action under these procedures where
an allegation has been made against a student but where reasonable efforts to contact the student are unsuccessful.
2. Meetings and interviews stipulated in this regulation will be held in person, or at a distance using telephone or other interactive
technologies.
3. A student who wishes to pursue research, or to attend classes, laboratories or other educational activities while an investigation
under these procedures is being carried out, can normally do so with the understanding that if the allegation of academic misconduct
is proven and the penalty involves either suspension or expulsion, credit will not be granted for work completed prior to a finding of
guilt. This provision excludes a student charged with an offence under the Code of Student Conduct. For information regarding the
Code of Student Conduct visit the website at www.mun.ca/student.
4. Although a student can continue in a program of studies, if eligible, while an investigation under these procedures is being carried
out, the University does not accept liability for any consequences to the student's progress. However, the University may take these
consequences into account, as appropriate and to the extent feasible, in cases where charges are dropped or the student is not
found guilty. The consequences arising from an investigation and any negative decision rendered may include retroactive effects on
grades, examination results, or promotion within a program.
5. A student accused of academic misconduct may consult advisors or facilitators. Such advisors may include a representative from the
Graduate Students' Union, an international student advisor, a faculty advisor, a University counselor, or a faculty member who is
familiar with these Regulations and who is willing to undertake the role of advisor whether resolution is sought through Procedures
for Resolution of Alleged Academic Offences at the Unit Level or Procedures for Resolution of Alleged Academic Offences
by the School of Graduate Studies.

4.12.3 General Procedure

1. When a member of the University community (faculty, staff, student) has grounds for belief that an academic offence has been
committed there should be an attempt between the parties concerned to resolve allegations of minor offences. If the alleged offence
is not deemed to be minor by the accuser, or resolution proves impossible, or one party is dissatisfied with the resolution, the matter
shall be reported, without delay, to the Head (or other appropriate officer) of the academic or administrative unit. If resolution is
achieved and it is agreed that an academic offence has been committed, then the offence, together with the penalty applied, shall be
reported to the Head of the academic or administrative unit.
2. Where resolution is not achieved, and if in the judgment of the Head of the academic or administrative unit, the alleged offence
warrants resolution at the unit level, the individuals involved will be advised to attempt to resolve the matter through Procedures for
Resolution of Alleged Academic Offences at the Unit Level. In the event that no resolution is possible through these procedures
between the individual parties, the Head of the academic or administrative unit will institute proceedings through the School of
Graduate Studies.
3. If, in the judgment of the Head of the academic or administrative unit, the alleged offence against University regulations is such as to
warrant resolution through the School of Graduate Studies, the Head of the academic or administrative unit will refer the matter to
the Dean, and Procedures for Resolution of Alleged Academic Offences by the School of Graduate Studies will be
implemented.
4. Cases involving alleged offences on comprehensive examinations, examination of theses, allegations of impersonation, or
allegations of submission of forged documents will be governed by the Procedures for Resolution of Alleged Academic Offences
by the School of Graduate Studies. Such cases may be initiated by the Head of the academic or administrative unit, or by the
School of Graduate Studies.
5. In all cases, it is the responsibility of the academic or administrative unit to ensure that fairness and impartiality are achieved in the
treatment of students.
6. Where an allegation of academic misconduct relates to research and the Tri-Agency Framework: Responsible Conduct of Research,
as amended from time to time, (the Framework) applies, these procedures shall be applied in a manner consistent with the minimal
requirements of the Framework.
7. Where an allegation of academic misconduct relates to research involving United States Public Health Service (USPHS) funds,
these procedures shall be applied in a manner consistent with the minimal requirements of the U.S. Office of Research Integrity or
other appropriate offices of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, including U.S. Federal Regulation 42 CFR Parts 50
and 93, as amended from time to time, and the ‘Statement on Dealing with Allegations of Research Misconduct Under USPHS
Research-related Activities for Foreign Institutions.'

4.12.4 Academic Offences

In the following section the plural shall be deemed to include the singular. Academic offences shall be deemed to include, but shall not
be limited to, the following:
1. Cheating: This includes copying from another student's work or allowing another student to copy from one's own work; consulting
with any unauthorized person during an examination or test, or using unauthorized aids; or knowingly recording or reporting false
empirical or statistical data. The work referred to includes presentations, examinations, theses, assignments, work term reports,
 School of Graduate Studies 2022-2023 599

projects, laboratory assignments, laboratory reports, internship reports, or any other tests or evaluations which are to be used in
judging the student's performance in a course or program of study; or any special tests which the University may offer; or in any
presentations or publications related to academic work.
2. Impersonation: Impersonating another student or allowing oneself to be impersonated. By impersonation is meant the imitation of a
student or entrance into an arrangement with another person to be impersonated for purposes of taking examinations or tests or
carrying out laboratory or other assignments.
3. Plagiarism: Plagiarism is the act of presenting the ideas or works of another as one's own. This applies to all material such as
theses, essays, laboratory assignments, laboratory reports, work term reports, design projects, seminar presentations, statistical
data, computer programs, and research results. The properly acknowledged use of sources is an accepted and important part of
scholarship. Use of such material without acknowledgment, however, is contrary to accepted norms of academic behaviour.
Information regarding acceptable writing practices is available through the Writing Centre at www.mun.ca/writingcentre.
4. Theft of examination papers or other material: By theft is meant obtaining by improper means examination papers, tests, or any
other such material.
5. Use and/or distribution of stolen material: The use of material which the student knows to have been improperly obtained and/or
the distribution of such material is considered to be an academic offence.
6. Submitting false information: This offence includes falsifying, submitting or causing to submit false academic transcripts, forms or
records, credentials, medical or other certificates, or making a false or incomplete declaration to the University.
7. Submitting work for one course, project or publication which has been or is being submitted to another course, project or
publication without express permission to do so: This includes the presentation of an essay, report, or assignment to satisfy
some or all of the requirements of a course when that essay, report, or assignment has been previously submitted or is concurrently
being submitted for another course without the express permission of the professor(s) involved.
8. Ethical Practice: Failure to follow relevant University/Faculty/School guidelines on ethics, including but not limited to, ethical
practice in research.
9. Failure to follow the Memorial University of Newfoundland Code.

4.12.5 Procedures for Resolution of Alleged Academic Offences at the Unit Level
4.12.5.1 General Information
These procedures will not be applied to cases involving alleged offences on comprehensive examinations, examination of theses,
allegations of impersonation or allegations of submission of forged documents. Such alleged offences are governed by the Procedures
for Resolution of Alleged Academic Offences by the School of Graduate Studies.
The principle that a resolution should be mutually satisfactory to both the accuser and the accused should be upheld throughout the
attempt for resolution at the unit level.

4.12.5.2 Explanation of Procedures

If, upon receiving a report of an alleged academic offence, the Head of the academic or administrative unit decides that an attempt
should be made to resolve that matter at the unit level the following procedures shall apply:
1. Normally within one week of notification, the Head of the academic or administrative unit shall request a meeting with the accuser
and the accused and at the meeting the Head of the academic or administrative unit shall state the allegation, review the
Procedures for Resolution of Alleged Academic Offences at the Unit Level including the range of applicable penalties, and
arrange a second meeting between the accuser and the accused only.
2. At the second meeting the accuser and accused shall endeavour to obtain a mutually satisfactory resolution of the matter.
3. The accuser and accused shall report jointly to the Head of the academic or administrative unit on the result of their second meeting.
4. If the report is of a resolution which the Head of the academic or administrative unit considers to be fair and equitable the matter
shall be considered closed. If the Head of the academic or administrative unit considers the reported resolution to be unfair and/or
inequitable the Head will endeavour to obtain an alternative satisfactory resolution directly with the parties.
5. Should all reasonable efforts to obtain a mutually satisfactory resolution at the unit level fail, the Head of the academic or
administrative unit will refer the case to the Dean of Graduate Studies and shall inform the accuser and the accused accordingly.
From this stage onward by the Procedures for Resolution of Alleged Academic Offences by the School of Graduate Studies
will apply.
6. At any stage of the Procedures for Resolution of Alleged Academic Offences at the Unit Level, the student or the accuser may
ask that the case be referred to the Dean, and thereafter the Procedures for Resolution of Alleged Academic Offences by the
School of Graduate Studies will apply.
7. Should the accused be found guilty, a brief description of the offence and the penalty(ies) applied shall be forwarded by the Head of
the academic or administrative unit to the School of Graduate Studies.

4.12.5.3 Failure to Appear or Respond

1. If at any stage of the Procedures for Resolution of Alleged Academic Offences at the Unit Level, the accused fails to respond
to a charge, without reasonable cause, within two weeks of notification of an allegation, action may be taken on the charge in the
absence of the accused.
2. If at any stage of the Procedures for Resolution of Alleged Academic Offences at the Unit Level, the accuser fails to appear at
a scheduled meeting to defend an allegation, without reasonable cause, the action will be dismissed.

4.12.5.4 Penalties in the Case of Resolution at the Unit Level

A student who has been found guilty of an academic offence will be subject to a penalty or penalties commensurate with the offence.
Some cases may warrant more than one penalty for the same offence, and previous academic misconduct will be taken into account in
determining the severity of penalties. The range of penalties and their determination is:
1. Resubmission of work with appropriate reduction in grade: will allow a student to complete and submit the work a second time.
2. Reprimand: This shall be in the nature of a warning in writing by the Head of the academic or administrative unit to the student that
the student's conduct has been unacceptable to the University.
3. Reduction of grade: A reduction of grade will apply to an examination, test, or assignment to which an offence is relevant, or to the
entire course, and will be decided by the Head of the academic or administrative unit. Since graduate students must obtain a grade
600 School of Graduate Studies 2022-2023
of 'B' or PASS in required courses, a reduction of grade could lead to termination of program.

4.12.6 Procedures for Resolution of Alleged Academic Offences by the School of Graduate
Studies
4.12.6.1 General Procedure
If the matter cannot be resolved following the Procedures for Resolution of Alleged Academic Offences at the Unit Level, or if, in
the opinion of the Head of the academic or administrative unit, the allegation involves a major breach of University regulations, or in
cases involving alleged offences on comprehensive examinations, thesis examinations, allegations of impersonation, or allegations of
submission of forged or falsified documents, the following Procedures for Resolution of Alleged Academic Offences by the School
of Graduate Studies shall apply.

4.12.6.2 Explanation of Procedures

1. If the Head of the academic or administrative unit (in consultation with the Dean of the student's faculty or school) is satisfied that the
student has a serious case to answer, that person shall inform the student in writing of the nature of the case against the student. In
addition, the Head of the academic or administrative unit shall report to the Dean of Graduate Studies who will, normally within one
week, appoint as an investigator a member of the Academic Misconduct Investigations Board of the School of Graduate Studies
(Investigations Board). The investigator will interview separately the accuser and accused and relevant witnesses. At these
interviews, the investigator, the accuser, the accused, and relevant witnesses all have the right to be accompanied by a registered
student or a member of the faculty or staff of the University.
2. Upon completion of these interviews, the investigator shall submit a written report of all findings to the Dean of Graduate Studies.
The Dean of Graduate Studies shall present this report to both the accuser and accused for perusal and comment. Once in receipt
of this report, the accuser and accused shall have two weeks in which to submit to the Dean of Graduate Studies any additional
comments on the report that the person wishes to be considered. The investigator will be given the opportunity to correct any errors
of fact should they arise from the comments of the accused and accuser prior to consideration of the allegation by the Investigations
Board.
3. Upon receipt of all information from the investigator as well as comments from the accuser and accused, the Dean of Graduate
Studies shall present the documents to the Chair of the Investigations Board.
4. The report shall be reviewed by a panel of three members of the Investigations Board for a decision.

accused fails to respond to a charge, without reasonable cause, within two weeks of notification of an allegation, action may be
taken on the charge in the absence of the accused.
2. If at any stage of the Procedures for Resolution of Alleged Academic Offences by the School of Graduate Studies, the
accuser fails to appear at a scheduled interview to defend an allegation, without reasonable cause, the action will normally be
dismissed; however, the investigation may proceed at the discretion of the Dean in consultation with the Investigations Board if the
allegation or evidence warrants such action.

4.12.6.4 Penalties in the Case of Resolution by the School of Graduate Studies

A student who has been found guilty of an academic offence will be subject to a penalty or penalties commensurate with the offence.
Enforcement of penalties resulting from Procedures for Resolution of Alleged Academic Offences by the School of Graduate
Studies will be overseen by the Registrar. Some cases may warrant more than one penalty for the same offence, and previous
academic misconduct will be taken into account in determining penalties. Penalties shall be imposed on the basis of the student's status
at the time of the offence. The range of penalties and their determination is:
1. Reprimand: This shall be in the nature of a warning in writing by the Investigations Board to the student that the student's conduct
has been unacceptable to the University.

3. Change in Outcome of an Examination: This will apply to Comprehensive Examinations and the examination of Theses and
Reports and could lead to termination of program.
4. Probation: This is a trial period the length of which will be determined by the Investigations Board. The Investigations Board will
inform the student that the finding of any further academic offence during the period of probation may lead to suspension or
expulsion.
5. Suspension: Suspension will apply to a course, department, faculty, school, or the University. The period of suspension will be
determined by the Investigations Board and shall not exceed three consecutive semesters, and shall be part of the allowable time for
a graduate program.
6. Expulsion: The recommendation for expulsion from the University will be made by the Investigations Board to the President for final
decision. Prior to the President's decision, the Investigations Board will notify the accused, in writing, of the recommendation for
expulsion from the University. The accused will be allowed a period of two weeks following the date of release of such notification to
lodge an appeal before the President's final decision concerning expulsion from the University. Any such appeal should be made in
writing or email to the Senate Committee on Academic Appeals, c/o the Office of the Registrar.
7. Rescinding of Degree: The recommendation for rescinding of a degree previously awarded by the University will be made by the
Investigations Board of the School of Graduate Studies to Senate for a final decision. Prior to Senate's decision, the Investigations
Board of the School of Graduate Studies will notify the accused, in writing, of the recommendation for rescinding of the degree. The
accused will be allowed a period of two weeks following the date of release of such notification to lodge an appeal before the
Senate's final decision concerning the rescinding of the degree. Any such appeal should be made in writing to the Senate
Committee on Academic Appeals, c/o Office of the Registrar.

two components:
a. On-the-job Student Performance:
606 School of Graduate Studies 2022-2023
Job performance shall be assessed by Co-operative Education 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.
b. The Work Report:
i. Work term reports shall be evaluated by a member of the faculty in the Department of Psychology. If an employer designates
a report to be of a confidential nature, both employer and faculty member must agree as to the methods to protect the
confidentiality of such a report before the report may be accepted for evaluation.
ii. Reports must be prepared according to American Psychological Association specifications and 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. For promotion from the Work Term, a student must obtain at least 65% in each component.
5. If a student fails to achieve the Work Term standards specified above the student will be required to withdraw from the program.
Such a student may reapply to the program after lapse of two semesters, at which time the student will be required to complete a
further Work Term with satisfactory performance before being admitted to any further academic term in the Faculty. A Work Term
may be repeated once.
6. Students are not permitted to drop Work Terms without prior approval of the Graduate Studies Committee of the Department of
Psychology, upon the recommendation of Co-operative Education. The Graduate Studies Committee will make a recommendation to
the Head of Department who will make the final decision. Students who drop a Work Term without permission, or who fail to honour
an agreement to work with an employer, or who conduct themselves in such a manner as to cause their discharge from the job, will
normally be awarded a failed grade for the Work Term. Permission to drop a Work Term does not constitute a waiver of degree
requirements, and students who have obtained such permission must complete an approved Work Term in lieu of the one dropped.

11.10.5 Program of Study

1. Thesis Option: Students in the thesis-based program must complete 15 credit hours in graduate program as specified in Table 1,
an internship (ENVP 6030) and a thesis. There are four required courses (representing 12 credit hours) as specified in Table 2. One
elective, representing 3 credit hours, related to the student’s research specialty is to be completed and may be chosen from Table 3
in consultation with the student’s thesis supervisor.
2. Research Paper Option: Students in the research paper-based program must successfully complete 18 credit hours in graduate
program courses as specified in Table 1, an internship (ENVP 6030) and a Research Paper (ENVP 6999). There are four required
courses (representing 12 credit hours) as specified in Table 2. Two electives, representing 6 credit hours, are to be completed, of
which at least one is to be from Table 2. The second elective, related to the student’s research specialty, may be chosen from Table
2 or Table 3 in consultation with the student’s research paper supervisor.
3. Further courses beyond the minimum number may be required, depending on the background and needs of the student.
4. Students are responsible for fulfilling all prerequisites.
5. All students are required to attend two Workshops:
a. Policy and Science Orientation Workshop
This workshop is held the first week of September each year. Its intent is to provide students with a limited policy or biophysical
background with conceptual tools to frame each discipline in order to orient students to the program. The workshop is team-
taught and is three full days in length.
b. Pre-Internship Workshop
This two-day workshop reviews the internship requirements, aids students in writing resumes and cover letters, discusses
interviewing practices and examines student/employer relationships. It is held during the first week after classes end in
December of each year.
6. Internship Requirements
a. All students are required to complete an environmental policy internship (ENVP 6030) with a relevant government office, non-
governmental organization, community group, or business. Internships are normally selected from a list of approved
organizations that is maintained by the Internship Officer and Graduate Officer. Internship placements may be outside the
Corner Brook area and possibly outside Newfoundland and Labrador. Final decisions for internship placements rest with the
Graduate Officer in consultation with the Internship Officer.
b. Internships are usually completed in the Spring semester of each year.
c. Internships are for full-time employment hours for the duration of the semester (12 weeks). Part-time internships over longer
periods may be considered and will require approval from the Internship Officer and the Graduate Officer.
d. A competition for internships is organized by the Internship Officer. By entering the competition, students give permission for the
Internship Officer to supply their university transcripts to potential employers. Students who do not wish to accept an internship
arranged by the Internship Officer shall be responsible for finding an alternative acceptable to the Internship Officer in
consultation with the Graduate Officer.
e. Students must attend scheduled pre-internship orientation workshop, professional development, and exit meeting.
f. Each internship placement is supervised and evaluated by the Internship Officer, the on-site Supervisor assigned by the
employer and the Graduate Program Coordinator. The internship shall consist of two components:
i. On-Site Student Performance as evaluated by the Internship Officer in consultation with the on-site Supervisor assigned by
the employer.
ii. An Internship Report graded by the Internship Officer or the Graduate Officer in consultation with the on-site Supervisor
assigned by the employer.
g. Evaluation of the Internship shall result in one of the following final grades: Pass, or Fail.
A student must obtain a Pass in both the On-Site Student Performance and the Internship Report to obtain a final grade of Pass.
If a student fails to achieve the internship standards specified above, the student may be required to withdraw from the program.
Such a student may reapply to the program after a lapse of two semesters, at which time the student will be required to complete
a further internship with satisfactory performance before being admitted to any further academic term in the Faculty. An
internship may only be repeated once.
h. Students who voluntarily withdraw from the internship without prior approval from the Internship Officer and the Graduate Officer,
or who conduct themselves in such a manner as to cause the host organization and the Internship Officer to terminate the
620 School of Graduate Studies 2022-2023
placement, will normally be awarded a grade of Fail in the internship.
i.Students are not permitted to drop internships without prior approval of the Internship Officer in consultation with the Graduate
Officer. The Internship Officer will make a recommendation to the Graduate Officer who will make the final decision. Students
who drop an internship without permission, who fail to honour an agreement to work with a host organization, or who conduct
themselves in such a manner as to cause their discharge from the internship position will normally be awarded a failed grade for
the internship. Permission to drop an internship does not constitute a waiver of degree requirements, and students who have
obtained such permission must complete an approved internship in lieu of the one dropped.
7. Students in the M.A. in Environmental Policy shall meet the minimum residency of at least two semesters required under General
Regulation, Registration - Period of Study of the University Calendar. Students are encouraged to meet this residency
requirement in the first two semesters of their program.
8. All students will be required to present a seminar on their thesis or research paper in the final semester of their program as part of
their thesis or research paper requirements. For applicable students, the thesis will be examined in accordance with the General
Regulations - Theses and Reports of the School of Graduate Studies.

11.10.6 Evaluation
1. Students for the Master of Arts in Environmental Policy degree must obtain a grade of 'B' or better in all program courses.
2. Students who receive a grade of less than 'B' in a program course will be permitted to remain in the program, provided the course is
repeated and passed with a grade of 'B' or better. Alternatively, the student may, on the recommendation of the GCEP, and with the
approval of the Dean of Graduate Studies, substitute another graduate course. Only one course repetition or substitution will be
permitted during the student’s program after which the student shall be required to withdraw from the program.

Pass with Distinction: Indicates OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE in both the work report(s) and work performance.
Pass: Indicates that PERFORMANCE MEETS EXPECTATIONS in both the work report(s) and work performance.
Fail: Indicates FAILING PERFORMANCE in the work report(s) and/or the work performance.
If a student fails to achieve a final grade of Pass or Pass with Distinction, and provided the student has not failed to achieve
a grade of 'B' or better in any program course, the student may apply for a change of route to the thesis or comprehensive
examination program option.
ix. A student is not permitted to drop a work term without prior approval of the Department and the ASMs-CE. A student who
drops a work term without permission, or who fails to honour an agreement to work with an employer, will be assigned a

11.13.1 Program of Study

1. The Degree of Master of Arts in French Studies may be completed by full-time or part-time study. "French Studies" may take the
form of the study of the French language or of francophone literature, including the study of literary history, criticism, or theory. It
may also include the study of French-language cinema or of other aspects of francophone civilization.
2. Students who are practicing teachers of French and wish to pursue French studies in conjunction with studies of the teaching of
French may opt to pursue the Master of Arts and Education (Education and Francophone Literatures and Cultures) degree jointly
offered by the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, Department of Modern Languages, Literatures and Cultures, and the
Faculty of Education.
3. Applicants for the M.A. program in French Studies are normally expected to have completed the Honours Degree with a second-
class standing or better. An applicant who does not hold an Honours Degree or its equivalent may be required to complete such
additional undergraduate courses as the Department considers necessary, prior to admission or as part of the program.
4. The M.A. program in French Studies will consist of 15 credit hours in graduate courses (normally requiring 2 or 3 semesters of full-
time study), plus research activities and a thesis of approximately 80 pages. The 15 credit hours shall include 6008 and 6009,
normally completed in consecutive semesters. The remaining 9 credit hours shall be obtained by completion of three courses
chosen from those in three of the five groups listed in the Courses section below. The language of the thesis will be French. The
thesis proposal, after being approved by the Supervisor, will be submitted by the student, normally before the end of the third
semester of studies, to the Departmental Graduate Studies Committee, who will decide whether or not to grant its approval.
5. Each student's program of study must be approved by the Departmental Graduate Studies Committee.
6. A paper drawn from the thesis will be presented at a Departmental seminar or in another forum approved by the Departmental
Graduate Studies Committee. Normally, this presentation will take place at some time between submission of the final draft thesis to
the Supervisor and the submission of the thesis to the School of Graduate Studies.
7. The approval of the Departmental Graduate Studies Committee must be obtained before the thesis is forwarded to the School of
Graduate Studies for examination.
8. In the final version of the M.A. thesis and other written assignments for M.A. courses, the quality of written French must be of a
standard acceptable to the Department as represented by the Graduate Studies Committee. Normally, this will mean that the final
version of such assignments will be free of spelling, lexical, and grammatical errors, and of improper use of stylistic conventions. In
the case of the M.A. thesis, this requirement applies to the version submitted for examination.

The degrees of Master of Arts and Doctor of Philosophy are offered in Linguistics.

11.17.1 Program of Study

1. The Department of Linguistics offers the M.A. program with both a thesis and a non-thesis option. The M.A. with thesis option is
intended for those who have completed an undergraduate major in Linguistics with satisfactory standing (a B+ average in Linguistics
courses). Students interested in the thesis option who have an excellent undergraduate record and a well-defined research plan, yet
who do not possess the equivalent of an undergraduate major, will be required to take additional undergraduate and/or graduate
courses in Linguistics. Other students are encouraged to apply for the M.A. without thesis option.
2. The M.A. with thesis option is normally a two-year program consisting of at least 15 credit hours of graduate courses (including
Linguistics 7000 and 7001), plus a thesis.
3. The M.A. without thesis option is normally a two-year program consisting of at least 21 credit hours of graduate courses (including
Linguistics 7000 and 7001), plus a research project (Linguistics 6999), which consists of a major research paper in an approved area
followed by an oral examination.
4. The M.A. in Linguistics requires proficiency in a language other than the student's first language, as demonstrated by a minimum 'B'
grade in a second-year undergraduate language course, or performance satisfactory to the Department in an arranged reading
proficiency test. A working or structural knowledge of other languages may also be required for particular programs (e.g., Latin,
Greek or Sanskrit for historical Indo-European linguistics, or courses in the series Linguistics 6050-59 or the former 6010-6041).
5. All M.A. students are advised to consult the Department's Graduate Program web page for details on program requirements and for
general information relating to the graduate program.

11.22 Humanities and Social Sciences Diplomas

The Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences offers two types of graduate diplomas: disciplinary and interdisciplinary. Disciplinary
graduate diplomas provide an opportunity to acquire additional academic credentials at the graduate level within a humanities or social
science discipline. Interdisciplinary graduate diplomas provide opportunities to acquire additional academic credentials at the graduate
level in emerging interdisciplinary research areas in the humanities and social sciences.
1. A graduate diploma may be offered in the disciplines of Anthropology, Classics, Economics, English, Folklore, French, Gender
Studies, German, History, Linguistics, Philosophy, Political Science, Religious Studies, or Sociology.
2. Interdisciplinary graduate diplomas may also be offered, depending on time, resources, and opportunity.

11.22.1 Qualifications for Admission

To be considered for admission to the graduate diploma program, an applicant shall meet the minimum requirements set out in the
General Regulations of the School of Graduate Studies governing Graduate Diploma Programs, the Regulations Governing the
Degree of Master of Arts or Regulations Governing the Degree of Master of Gender Studies; and, where applicable, the particular
regulations of the appropriate departments or disciplines. Applicants for admission to a graduate diploma in Anthropology, Classics,
Economics, English, Folklore, French, Gender Studies, German, History, Linguistics, Philosophy, Political Science, Religious Studies, or
Sociology must apply through the corresponding department or discipline, working with the department’s or discipline’s Graduate Officer.
 School of Graduate Studies 2022-2023 633

11.22.2 Program Requirements

Graduate diplomas in the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences conform to the School of Graduate Studies General Regulations,
Program Requirements, Graduate Diploma and Master’s Programs and require successful completion of 9-12 eligible credit hours in
graduate courses.
1. Every student for a graduate diploma in the disciplines of Anthropology, Classics, Economics, English, Folklore, French, Gender
Studies, German, History, Linguistics, Philosophy, Political Science, Religious Studies, or Sociology is required to complete the
majority of all graduate courses in the relevant department or discipline. The number of credit hours (9-12) for the graduate diploma
are at the discretion of the relevant department or discipline.
2. A student admitted to a graduate diploma in the disciplines of Anthropology, Classics, Economics, English, Folklore, French, Gender
Studies, German, History, Linguistics, Philosophy, Political Science, Religious Studies, or Sociology, who has demonstrated to the
satisfaction of the appropriate department or discipline an ability to pursue research at the master’s level, may, at the discretion of
the department or discipline, be permitted subsequently to transfer a student’s candidature to that of a master’s in the affiliated
program area. For credits to transfer between a graduate diploma and a master’s degree, the two degrees have to share the same
credentials. In this event, students will be awarded only one of a master’s or graduate diploma in the same department or discipline.

11.22.3 Graduate Courses

Most courses offered for a master’s program are eligible for a graduate diploma program in the same discipline. However, courses
designed for a master’s essay or major project cannot be used towards a graduate diploma.
The graduate courses counting towards a graduate diploma in Anthropology, Classics, Economics, English, Folklore, French, Gender
Studies, German, History, Linguistics, Philosophy, Political Science, Religious Studies, or Sociology are at the discretion of the relevant
department or discipline. Courses for these graduate diplomas are normally a subset of the courses required for the relevant
department’s or discipline’s master’s program, with one of the courses normally being a foundational course in the discipline.
Prospective students should contact a Graduate Officer for specific details.
Courses in interdisciplinary graduate diploma programs are drawn from appropriate, thematically-related Faculty of Humanities and
Social Sciences departments or disciplines.

16.8 Specific Programs

16.8.1 Counselling Psychology
The mission of the program in Counselling Psychology is to prepare highly knowledgeable, skilled, dedicated, and ethical professional
practitioners, who will endeavour to enhance human potential throughout the life span and who can effectively practice within a variety of
settings.
The Counselling Psychology faculty promotes counselling as an effective, viable means of assisting individuals throughout the life span.
The counselling practitioner, regardless of the practitioner's theoretical stance or work setting, functions as a change agent who is
sensitive to and knowledgeable about the range of human development reflected in individual differences and cultural and linguistic
diversity. Effective and positive change is brought about by assisting clients to: examine and modify their behaviour for more effective
living; cope with, adjust to, or otherwise negotiate the environments affecting their psychosocial well-being; and effect change in the
larger society.
The practice of Counselling Psychology is based on theory and research, an understanding of ethical practices, and a set of professional
and interpersonal skills. It is essential that graduate students study a variety of conceptual frameworks and research findings as
preparation for collaborative work with other helping professionals, paraprofessionals, and a variety of self-help groups.
The Counselling Psychology faculty, while representing a range of views, agree that the uniqueness of the individual and the individual's
personal strengths must be acknowledged and respected. To fully explore professional issues and personal values, a trusting and open
atmosphere must be present.
Individuals from a wide variety of personal, social, and educational backgrounds are encouraged to apply to the Counselling Psychology
program. The program provides a broad-based sequence of studies and supervised experiences that will prepare graduate students to
be knowledgeable and skilled practitioners who can function in a variety of settings. By the time they have completed this program,
students will have acquired knowledge and competencies in the following general areas: individual and group counselling theory and
techniques, legal and ethical aspects of counselling, human development and learning, social, cultural, and linguistic diversity, career
education and counselling, program development and implementation, measurement and appraisal, research and program evaluation,
and application of current technology service delivery in rural areas.

16.8.1.1 Admission Requirements

In addition to meeting the requirements in the School of Graduate Studies General Regulations, students:
1. must have completed Education 3210, Introduction to Counselling.
2. must have completed at least one undergraduate course on each of the following topics: Statistics (Education 2900), Assessment
(Education 3280, 3951, 3952 or 4950), Introduction to Career Education (Education 3211), Introduction to Exceptionality (Education
4240 or 4242). Please note that many of these courses are prerequisites to specific graduate courses and must be completed before
taking those courses.
3. must have at least one year of teaching (or related work) experience.
4. must submit a resume that contains a concise rationale for the application (500 words or less) and three letters of recommendation

interview may be required if deemed necessary.
6. should note the Graduate Record Examination may be required.
7. A criminal record check or other screening procedures are not required as a condition of admission to the Counselling Psychology
program. A student should, however, be aware that such record checks or other screening procedures are required by school
districts, schools, community agencies, or other agencies that host counselling psychology students. Such agencies will not accept a
student without a clean criminal record and vulnerable sector check or other screening procedures, which would prevent the student
from completing a required component of the program. As a result, such a student may not be eligible for promotion or graduation.
It is the responsibility of the student to have such procedures completed as required and at the student's own expense. The Faculty
of Education’s Counselling Psychology program expects a student to provide evidence of a clean criminal record and vulnerable
sector check before participating in any course or experience where direct contact with clients will occur.
The screening procedures of any given agency may change from time to time and are beyond the control of the University.

admission to the option, students must have achieved at least a 70% average over academic terms 1 to 6 of their undergraduate
engineering program. While enrolled in the option, a student may complete some of the M.Eng. Degree requirements and, hence,
potentially be able to graduate earlier from the M.Eng. program.
Students shall enroll in the M.Eng. fast-track option concurrently with their undergraduate program during the Fall semester prior to
academic term 8. Prior to entering the fast-track option, students must apply for and receive an exemption from work term 6. While
enrolled in the option a student must be registered in full-time graduate studies during the Fall semester prior to academic term 8; during
academic term 8, the student must take a leave of absence from the graduate program. A student enrolled in the fast-track option shall
undertake research related to their field of study and shall normally complete at least 3 credit hours from the courses listed for their
M.Eng. program in the Fall semester prior to academic term 8.
In the Fall semester following academic term 7, fast-track option students will pay only the graduate fees appropriate to graduate
students following plan A as indicated at the Financial and Administrative Services website at www.mun.ca/finance/fees/ (i.e., the 6
semester plan). In the succeeding Winter semester, while completing academic term 8 of their undergraduate program, fast-track option
students will pay only the appropriate undergraduate fees.
Upon completion of their undergraduate program, students may register in the M.Eng. program on a full-time basis. All courses taken as
part of their graduate program while enrolled in the M.Eng. fast-track option are credited towards the M.Eng. Degree course credit hour
requirements. Courses taken as credit towards a student's undergraduate degree may not be credited towards a student's graduate
degree; courses credited towards a student's graduate degree may not be credited towards a student's undergraduate degree. Students
who do not complete their undergraduate degree within one year of entering the fast-track option will normally be required to withdraw
from their M.Eng. program.

18.6 Course Evaluation

1. In order to continue in the program, a student shall obtain an 'A' or 'B' grade in each course taken for credit.
2. The student's achievement in the program must be to the satisfaction of the Dean of Graduate Studies and the Faculty of
Engineering and Applied Science. When it has been determined on the basis of consultations with the student, the course instructors
and the Supervisor, that a student's work has fallen below satisfactory level, the student may be required to withdraw from the
program.

1. The criteria for acceptance of an applicant are: the applicants' anticipated successful and timely completion of the program, and the
willingness of a participating faculty member to supervise the applicant.
2. Students will be expected to hold a B.Sc. (Honours) or B.Eng. Degree with honours standing, or equivalent, with a strong
computational orientation. At the time of application, the student is expected to provide evidence (for example, transcripts of
completed courses) of the student's knowledge of a modern computer language such as Fortran, and/or C and/or C++, and/or
Matlab, and/or Python. Evidence of knowledge of differential equations; and/or linear algebra and/or computer graphics would be an
asset. Students with an inadequate background may be encouraged to take certain undergraduate courses.
3. Admission decisions will be made by the School of Graduate Studies on the recommendation of the Chair of the Administrative
Committee.

31.20.4 Program of Study

1. The goal of Scientific Computing is to solve technical problems, in science and engineering, using computers and computational
methods. Our program is designed to educate students to apply computational, numerical and programming concepts and tools to
solve and model complex problems in science and engineering.
2. The Program is offered in thesis and project (non-thesis) versions, with the option of a co-operative education program. It is intended
that the overall level of student effort and performance required in each version will be comparable. The normal length of time to
complete each option is 24 months.
3. The work for the thesis or project will be carried out under the guidance of a supervisor (or joint supervisors). The home department
of the student will be the same as that of the Supervisor. Upon completion of the work for the thesis or project, each student is
required to present a seminar suitable for the interdisciplinary audience of Scientific Computing program students.
4. All students are required to complete a minimum of 3 core courses (9 credit hours) selected from the list of Core Courses listing
below. All students are also recommended to complete CMSC 6950. Additional courses are required in accordance with the program
options as outlined below and will normally be selected from the student’s discipline of specialization. The course requirements for
each student are approved by the Program Chair on the recommendation of the student’s supervisor(s), and should reflect the
interdisciplinary nature of the program. Students are expected to attend research seminars in their home department as well as
those relevant to Scientific Computing, when advertised.
a. The thesis option requires the completion of a minimum of four graduate courses (12 credit hours) numbered 6000 or higher,
which must include three courses (9 credit hours) from the Core Courses listing below. Equivalent courses may be considered
for substitution with approval of the Program Chair. The additional course(s) will normally be chosen from the Additional
Courses listing below in the same discipline as the thesis work. The submission of an acceptable thesis is required. The thesis
is to contain an original scholarly contribution which must be submitted to the School of Graduate Studies for final examination.
The thesis must be written in a format according to procedures outlined in Guidelines for Theses and Reports by the School of
Graduate Studies at www.mun.ca/sgs/go/guid_policies/theses.php.
b. The project option requires the completion of a minimum of eight graduate courses (24 credit hours) numbered 6000 or higher,
which must include CMSC 6009 and at least three courses (9 credit hours) from the Core Courses listing below. Equivalent
courses may be considered for substitution with approval of the Program Chair. The additional courses will normally be chosen
from the Additional Courses listing below in the same discipline as the project work. An acceptable project report is also
required that is based on research performed with the guidance of the student’s supervisor. The project, which will include an in-
depth written report, shall require the equivalent of at least one and no more than two semesters of full time work. The project
report must be written in a format according to procedures outlined in Guidelines for Theses and Reports by the School of
Graduate Studies at www.mun.ca/sgs/go/guid_policies/theses.php. The report will be evaluated by the student’s supervisor, by
the Chair of the Board of Study (or delegate), as well as by one other faculty member. Acceptance of a final version of the report
(and a passing grade for CMSC 6009) requires the agreement of the three examiners.

31.20.5 Co-operative Education Option

1. A co-operative education option will be available to students who are accepted into the M.Sc. program. Students in this option may
follow the thesis or non-thesis version of the program. It is expected to take up to 24 months to complete.
2. Students will normally declare their intention to complete the co-operative education option at the start of the second semester of
 School of Graduate Studies 2022-2023 693

their academic program.

3. Students will complete two work terms consecutively, normally following the successful completion of a minimum of four courses (12
credit hours).
4. The dates for starting and finishing each work term are shown at www.mun.ca/coop.
5. A competition for work term employment is organized by Co-operative Education in cooperation with a designated faculty member
from Scientific Computing. Students may also obtain their own work term jobs outside the competition. Such jobs must be confirmed
by letter from the employer and approved by the Chair of Scientific Computing and by Co-operative Education on or before the first
day of the work term. Work term jobs may be outside St. John’s and possibly outside Newfoundland and Labrador. Students who do
not wish to accept a work term job arranged by Co-operative Education shall be responsible for finding an acceptable alternative. By
entering the competition, students give permission for Co-operative Education to supply their Memorial University of Newfoundland
transcripts and resumes to potential employers.
6. Each work term placement will be supervised by the student's program supervisor, the on-site supervisor assigned by the employer
and Co-operative Education. The overall evaluation of the work term is the responsibility of the program Supervisor, on-site
Supervisor, and Co-operative Education. The work term shall consist of two components:
On-the-job Student Performance as evaluated by the on-site supervisor and Co-operative Education, in consultation with the
program supervisor.
A Work Report graded by Co-operative Education and the program supervisor in consultation with the on-site supervisor.
7. Evaluation of the work term will result in the assignment of one of the following final grades:
Pass with Distinction: Indicates OUTSTANDING PERFORMANCE in both the work report and work performance.
Pass: Indicates that PERFORMANCE MEETS EXPECTATIONS in both the work report and work performance.
Fail: Indicates FAILING PERFORMANCE in the work report and/or the work performance. If a student fails to achieve a final
grade of Pass or Pass with Distinction, and provided the student has not failed to achieve a grade of 'B' or better in any program
course, the student may request to repeat the work term component. The request will be considered by the Chair of Scientific
Computing in consultation with the program supervisor and Co-operative Education. Only one repetition of a work term will be
permitted in the student’s program.
8. Following the completion of the two work terms, each student must complete any remaining course requirements and project report
or thesis. Assuming that prior written authorization of the employer and the supervisory committee was obtained and submitted to
the School of Graduate Studies, students may include material from the work terms in their reports or theses. For students following
the non-thesis version of the program, the two work-term reports may be combined into a single, integrated report for this purpose.
All other students must write a thesis on a research project which may be based on research completed during the work terms.
9. Students who are accepted into the co-op option are not guaranteed placements. In the event that a student fails to obtain two
semesters of placements, but successfully completes all other requirements of the Degree, the student will still be eligible for
graduation, but without the designation of a co-op degree.

31.21 Sustainable Aquaculture

www.mun.ca/sgs/contacts/sgscontacts.php
www.mun.ca/science
www.mun.ca/become/graduate/apply/app_deadlines.php
The program of study leading to the Master of Science in Sustainable Aquaculture is designed to instruct students in research using
scientific principles derived from a wide range of disciplines including Behaviour, Biochemistry, Biology, Ecology, Food Science,
Genomics, Nutrition, and Physiology. It is an interdisciplinary program and often involves several fields of study. Research projects may
include field and/or laboratory studies of one or more species of marine or freshwater flora and/or fauna. The Aquaculture group consists
of faculty members from the Fisheries and Marine Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland and the Departments of Biology,
Biochemistry, and Ocean Sciences of Memorial University of Newfoundland. Research scientists at other institutions, e.g., Fisheries and
Oceans Canada, complement the group in offering advice, facilities, and expertise to students in the program.
The Sustainable Aquaculture Administrative Committee is responsible for the program. This Committee is composed of seven members
appointed by the Dean of Science including two to three members from the Department of Ocean Sciences, two to three members from
the Fisheries and Marine Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland, and two members from appropriate academic units at
Memorial University of Newfoundland. In addition, the Heads of the Departments of Biochemistry, Biology, and Ocean Sciences, and the
Head of the School of Fisheries of the Fisheries and Marine Institute of Memorial University of Newfoundland are ex-officio members.
The Committee makes recommendations to the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies concerning the academic requirements of the
program: admission, course programs of individual students, financial support, composition of supervisory committees, and theses

41 Regulations Governing the Degree of Master of Social Work

www.mun.ca/sgs/contacts/sgscontacts.php
www.mun.ca/socwrk
www.mun.ca/become/graduate/apply/app_deadlines.php
The degrees of Master of Social Work and Doctor of Philosophy are offered in social work.
The Master of Social Work (M.S.W.) may be completed by part-time or full-time study. All program components are offered online except
on-campus institutes and field practicum.
The focus of the M.S.W. program is creative approaches to critical thinking for leadership in diverse social work practice. The program
allows professionally qualified social workers holding the Degree of B.S.W. or an equivalent professional undergraduate degree in Social
Work to undertake intensive advanced work in a specialized area of social work knowledge and practice.
The program is designed to be accessible to students in remote and rural areas, and requires that: (1) students have a computer and
Internet access; and (2) can travel to St. John’s for the institute portion of three practice courses. Students may incur charges for Internet
services, long distance telephone charges, and travel and accommodation expenses.
Entrance into all courses and the offering of any course in an academic year is by approval of the School, consistent with the student’s
program. Students are admitted only into a designated program of studies.
The School of Social Work may deliver special offerings of the M.S.W. and/or other programs of the School to identified groups of out-of-
province students where numbers warrant. These offerings will be self supporting, and therefore subject to an additional one-time non-
refundable tuition fee as approved by the Board of Regents and payable on first registration following formal admission to the program.
Students will also pay appropriate tuition fees for each semester during their tenure in the program.
Admission to the special offerings of these programs will be competitive, using the same procedures and standards that are in place for
students applying to the St. John’s campus program(s).
Subject to approval by the M.S.W. Program Committee of the School of Social Work, students admitted to an out-of-province program
offering may apply to transfer to the equivalent program on the St. John’s campus. In such instances, the fee structure under which the
student was admitted will not change. Subject to approval by the M.S.W. Program Committee of the School of Social Work, students
admitted to a St. John’s based program may apply to transfer to the equivalent out-of-province program. In these instances, students
transferring from the St. John’s based program offerings to an equivalent out-of-province offering will be required to pay a pro-rated one-
time fee upon formal transfer to the special offering.

41.1 Qualifications for Admission

1. Admission to the M.S.W. program is limited, selective, and competitive. Meeting the minimum criteria for admission does not
guarantee acceptance to the program.

41.3 Plan of Study

1. A student's plan of study will be developed cooperatively by the student and the M.S.W. Student Services Coordinator.
2. Specified supplementary studies may be required to ensure requisite knowledge pertinent to the requirements for the degree.
3. A student electing a thesis program shall be assigned a Supervisor by the Dean of the School in consultation with the student. It is
recommended that a thesis Supervisor be assigned as early in the program as possible. The thesis supervisor, when assigned, shall
normally assume the duties of faculty advisor and Pathway mentor.
4. a. Students who choose the thesis route must complete a thesis and a minimum of 21 credit hours consisting of SCWK 6012,
6013, 6014, 6313, 6413, 6917, and at least one of SCWK 6314 or 6315. Course route students must complete a minimum of 27
credit hours consisting of SCWK 6012, 6013, 6014, 6313, 6314, 6315, 6413, 6417, and 6917. Students in either route may be
required to take additional courses.
b. In addition to the above, students will be required to register for SCWK 6000 during each of the relevant semesters as
prescribed below, in accordance with their plan of study. This course comprises the academic mentorship component of the
program and is designed to provide students with the opportunity to integrate curriculum with their individual academic and
practice interests throughout their time in the program. For course route students, SCWK 6000 serves as a foundation for SCWK
6417. For thesis route students, SCWK 6000 serves as a foundation for their thesis.
i. Full-time course route and all thesis route students will register for SCWK 6000 beginning in the Fall of their first year and in
each subsequent semester in which they are actively completing course work in the M.S.W. program.
ii. Part-time course route students completing the program in 6 semesters will register for SCWK 6000 beginning in the Fall of
their first year and in each subsequent semester in which they are actively completing course work in the M.S.W. program.
iii. Part-time course route students completing the program in 9 semesters will register for SCWK 6000 beginning in the Fall of
their second year and in each subsequent semester in which they are actively completing course work in the M.S.W.
program.
iv. By the end of the final week of the first semester in which students are registered in SCWK 6000, they are required to submit
the M.S.W. Pathway Learning Contract to their Mentor. Progress related to the contract is reviewed by the student and
mentor prior to the student enrolling in SCWK 6417. The mentor must approve enrolment in SCWK 6417.
 School of Graduate Studies 2022-2023 713

v. A grade of NC (No Grade Expected) will be awarded in all semesters of SCWK 6000 prior to the final Semester. The final
grade in this non-credit course will be either Pas or Fal.

41.4 Field Practicum SCWK 6917

Each M.S.W. student is required to complete a 500 hour field practicum in a social work field setting, supervised by a qualified field
instructor, approved by the School of Social Work. Field Instructors must have as a minimum qualification a M.S.W. Degree and a
minimum of two years post-M.S.W. social work employment.
Scheduling of a field practicum is flexible. SCWK 6917 may be completed on a full time or part time basis, may occur in whole or in part
within or outside the normal start and end dates of a semester, and in any case shall not exceed two semesters.
The M.S.W. Field Education Coordinator is responsible for facilitating appropriate matches among the student, field instructor, and field
practicum setting. Although consideration will be given to all factors affecting the location and type of social work field practica, final
approval of field practica rests with the School of Social Work. The School cannot guarantee the availability of M.S.W. field instruction in
all communities and at all times. Students are responsible for their own financial support during the field practicum.
At least six months prior to the commencement of the semester in which they intend to begin SCWK 6917, all students shall submit a
completed Intent to Register in M.S.W. Field Practicum form and a current resume to the M.S.W. Field Education Coordinator. The
School of Social Work depends on the cooperation of community agencies external to the University to provide field practica and
instruction to its students. A field agency may, prior to starting the practicum, require a Criminal Record Check, Vulnerable Sector
Check, Child Protection Records Check, Health Check etc. Students unable to meet the agency's requirements may be delayed in their
program or prevented from completing their program of study. Students are required to complete and update these requirements in a
timely fashion and at their own expense. The procedures of any given agency may change from time to time and are beyond the control
of the University.
Evaluation of the field practicum will be on a PASS/FAIL basis. Students who voluntarily withdraw from the field practicum without prior
approval of the M.S.W. Field Education Coordinator, or who conduct themselves in such a manner as to cause the agency and the
M.S.W. Field Education Coordinator to terminate the practicum, will normally be awarded a grade of FAIL in the field practicum.
Students who voluntarily withdraw from the field practicum with the prior approval of the M.S.W. Field Education Coordinator cannot be
guaranteed a second practicum during that semester. In this case, the student will be awarded a grade of INC for the field practicum.
The student shall normally complete a field practicum in a subsequent semester.

41.5 Course Format

To increase accessibility for students in remote and rural areas, courses are offered in the following formats:
1. SCWK 6012, 6013, 6014, and 6413 are online courses.
2. SCWK 6313, 6314 and 6315 are online courses with a mandatory on-campus institute component consisting of 36 hours of
classroom instruction. Course materials and activities for the pre-institute and post-institute components of the courses are available
online for students. Classes are taught full time and students are expected to attend classes and complete assignments and group
projects during this portion of the courses. It is recommended that students take leave from their employment for the duration of an
on-campus institute, which may be scheduled in a combination of weekday, evening, and weekend hours within a two-week time
period. The final decision regarding the on-campus institute schedule rests with the School of Social Work.
3. SCWK 6917 can be completed where appropriate supervision is available.
4. SCWK 6000 and 6417 can be completed in consultation with the student’s Pathway mentor.
5. In exceptional circumstances, and contingent upon student numbers and school resources, additional course sections may be
offered in a regular classroom format.

1. The Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D., Environmental Science) is a research degree which includes a doctoral dissertation and course
work. Normally, students entering the Ph.D. program in Environmental Science will have a M.Sc. degree from an institution
recognized by the Senate. Students in the Master of Science (Environmental Science) program, after a minimum of 12 months in
their program of studies, may request a transfer to the Ph.D. program. Final decision for transfer from the M.Sc. program to the
Ph.D. program rests with the Dean of the School of Graduate Studies. There are two courses (6 credit hours) required for the
doctoral program. All students take Environmental Science 6010 and those with a disciplinary M.Sc. degree in Science from a
recognized university also take Environmental Science 6000. Other courses tailored for individual students are included in the
student’s program by the Dean of Graduate Studies on the recommendation of the Chair of the Board of Studies.
2. The comprehensive examination should be taken on completion of all course work. An Examination Committee will be struck in
accordance with the General Regulations. At least two members of the Board of Studies must be on the Examination Committee.
The student’s Supervisor will be on the Examination Committee and will be the only examiner from the student’s Thesis Supervisory
Committee. The Head of the Department of the Supervisor or delegate is invited to serve on the Comprehensive Examination
Committee. The Examination Committee is chaired by the Chair of the Environmental Science Program. The examination will be
both written and oral. The topic is assigned by the Examination Committee, which also determines the submission date for the
paper, and the date of the examination. Normally, the student will write the paper within four months, and the oral examination will
occur within six weeks of the paper’s submission. This paper will form the basis of a public seminar. The Examination Committee will
question the student about the paper, the topic and its broader relationship with Environmental Science.
3. The doctoral thesis is based on the results of systematic, independent research on an approved scientific topic. To ensure the
research is interdisciplinary, the supervisory committee must be made up of members from at least two different departments. The
student will be required to present a Ph.D. research proposal to the supervisory committee. The completed thesis will be evaluated
according to the General Regulations of the School of Graduate Studies. It must contribute significantly to knowledge in the field of
