Q75: Who can opt for a Secondary Major?

Studying a Secondary Major is a free choice by students and not mandatory. Only students with a Cumulative GPA of 2.70 or above may be considered for Secondary Major enrolment. Each Secondary Major may stipulate additional selection criteria for admission.

Normally, the option to study for a Secondary Major will not be applicable to students admitted to the advanced stage of a programme, nor to students admitted to an articulation degree programme. On the other hand, students admitted on the basis of advanced standing may be allowed to study for a Secondary Major, if so decided by the programme offering Department. This decision will be made at the time of admission, based on the merits of each individual case.
