  • Students can also exit with a lower award from: Masters with Extension > Masters > Graduate Diploma > Graduate Certificate 
  • Students who are enrolled in a Masters degree can also articulate to one of the school’s double degrees and the same principle applies. Please note that students can only articulate to a dual degree program that is currently available in the school. Students cannot articulate to a dual degree program that is not available. 
  • Articulation is subject to the approval of the Program Director and achievement of satisfactory progress in the current degree program. 
  • Students wishing to articulate upwards are expected to have satisfactorily completed at least 50 per cent of the courses in the degree in which you want to articulate into. For example if you are a Graduate Diploma student and you want to articulate to the Masters, you must complete at least four courses (50 per cent of the Masters degree) satisfactorily before you can apply to articulate to the Masters degree.  If you do not meet this requirement your request to articulate will not be approved. 
  • Students are not permitted to articulate from one degree to another if the degree has been conferred and awarded. Please note students are not able to receive three degrees – ie. complete and graduate with a Graduate Certificate, Graduate Diploma and Masters degree in the same area. Students articulating between programs should graduate with one degree only. 
  • Students can only transfer between degrees if they have not been completed. Students who have completed and been awarded their program cannot articulate but may apply for Admission to the appropriate higher level program. If your application to the higher program is successful, you will then be governed by the applicable to that program.
