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 term. In addition, students must achieve a minimum overall weighted average of 68% in all degree-credit courses being used towards teh MTP program requirements.

Note: Students in the MTP program are not required to fulfill University breadth requirements for graduation purposes. This exemption does not, however, apply to Honors Bachelor degrees, and students who intend to upgrade to Honors 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. The option of transferring into an MIT module is contingent on space availability at the time the request is made. Students who withdraw from the program will not receive any transfer credit at Western for coursework completed at Fanshawe as part of the MTP program.

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 enrollment in the prescribed courseload for MTP at Fanshawe.

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 on Western courses taken as part of the MTP program..

Courseload
Students must follow the structure of the program as outlined by Western and Fanshawe. Modifications to the program may be made only in exceptional circumstances and with permission of both institutions.
