WESTERN/FANSHAWE COLLABORATIVE DEGREE/DIPLOMA IN MEDIA THEORY AND PRODUCTION
Admission Requirements
Admission to the program is through the University of Western Ontario and requires meeting the standards of admission to the University. Student must enroll at the University for their first year as MTP-designated students. Forty students will be admitted to the second year of the program. Attainment of the minimum requirement does not guarantee admission. Entry to the program is competitive on the basis of academic achievement. Students will be admitted to one of the program’s four streams: Journalism-Broadcast, Broadcasting-Television, Broadcasting-Radio, or Multimedia Design and Production. Students will rank their preferences but are not guaranteed to receive their first choice rankings. Students who have applied for the collaborative program directly in first year will be given priority for admission to the second year. If the collaborative program is not filled for Year 2 from the MTP- designated students in first year, other Year 1 MIT students will be considered for admission.
Structure of the Program
In the first year of the program, students are registered in the Faculty of Information and Media Studies as MTP-designated students. In the second, third, and fourth years, students are registered in the collaborative program and are registered in courses at both institutions. Upon successful completion of the collaborative program, students will receive both a BA in Media, Information and Technoculture from Western and a diploma from Fanshawe College in their chosen stream.

Progression and Graduation Requirements
Once admitted to second year of the collaborative program, students must meet progression and graduation requirements for both the degree and diploma programs. To progress in the degree portion of the collaborative program, students must attain at least a 68% average in each academic session. In addition, students must achieve a minimum overall weighted average of 68% in the 15.0 courses being counted towards the degree. For Fanshawe courses that are being used to fulfill degree requirements, grades will be included in average calculations used to assess progression and graduation. Note: MTP students are not required to fulfill University breadth requirements for graduation purposes. Students who are intending to upgrade to an Honors Bachelor Degree are strongly recommended to complete the breadth requirement within their MTP program.
Failure to Meet Progression or Graduation Requirements
A student who fails to meet the progression requirements in any year must withdraw from the collaborative program. A student who is required to withdraw from the collaborative program must complete all the degree requirements of the program in which s/he is registered in order to graduate.
Dean's Honor List
MTP students will be considered for the Dean's Honor List in all years of the collaborative program. Adjudication will be based on having an overall 80% average on all courses taken within the academic year (September – April) and will include Fanshawe courses that are being used to fulfill degree requirements.
Graduation "With Distinction"
Students who have achieved an overall average of 80% with no grade lower than 70% on the entire program with no failed courses will receive the designation "With Distinction".
Gold Medal
The Gold Medal will be awarded to the student with the highest overall average and will include Fanshawe courses that are being used to fulfill degree requirements.
