Students enrolled in one Work and Organization major may not be enrolled /complete another Work and Organization major or the IRHR Major/Specialist programs. No exceptions will be granted.
Enrolment Periods
To ensure that students admitted to the program will be successful, students with a final grade in the completed course lower than 67% will not be considered for admission. Please note that obtaining this minimum grade does not guarantee admission to the program. If more than one course (0.5 credit) has been completed from this list, the minimum grade will be based on the higher course grade.

The precise mark threshold is an estimate of what will be required for admission. Due to the limited enrolment nature of this program students are strongly advised to enroll in backup programs.
