Grade Requirements for Evaluation & Promotion in FT MBA Program

The policy for Grade Requirements for Evaluation & Promotion in the FT MBA Program has now been posted on your Connect site here: myMBA Program > Academic Policies

60% is the minimum you must achieve for a passing grade in the post-IF modules & mini-modules. 60-67% is considered a low grade. Students who achieve a grade of less than 68% will receive a letter from the Grades Review Committee cautioning that they are at academic risk.

You may receive a maximum of 3.0 credits below 60% while in the MBA Program. This means that you can fail the equivalent of 3.0 credits, but cannot fail more than 3.0 credits.

Please remember that mini-modules count for 0.75 credits, and regular modules are 1.5 credits each.

You are also only allowed to have a certain number of credits in the “low grade” range of 60-67%. How many will depend on what the mix of low or failed grades is for you. The following table outlines the possible mixes:

  Below 60% 60-67% Range
You can remain in the program as long as you have: No more than 3 credits  
3 credits No more than 4.5 credits
1.5 credits No more than 6.0 credits
  No more than 9.0 credits

Please refer to the full policy for all the details. Any questions can be directed to askmba@sauder.ubc.ca
