Students who already have one degree from the University of
Ottawa should consult the regulation concerning the granting of a
second degree from the University of Ottawa (section 8d).
c) MAXIMUM DURATION OF STUDIES
In cases where students have failed to obtain a degree within
12 years of their date of admission, the Faculty reserves the right
to impose new courses where necessary to comply with any
modifications in the program leading to the degree in which they
are enrolled.
d) GRANTING A SECOND DEGREE FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF OTTAWA
To obtain a second degree from the University of Ottawa, students
must meet the following criteria:
1. complete a minimum of 30 credits or the equivalent beyond the
normal requirements of the first degree. At least 15 credits
must be taken at the University of Ottawa;
2. meet all the specific requirements of the concentration or
honours program in which they are registered.
In these cases, the calculation of the CGPA takes into account the
courses retained from the first concentration, honours program or
certificate (because they apply to the second degree), as well as the
courses taken after the granting of the first degree.
