The summer semester was replaced by a shorter summer school. This special program was considered equivalent to first year. It was discontinued for Business Administration after the fall term of 1967, and for Engineering Technology after the fall tern of 1970. Up to September 1969, all students were assessed using overall averages for each semester or year. Ryerson began granting degrees in the spring of 1972.
Various programs are available on a part-time basis.
Programs leading to a certificate vary in length. Commencing September 1989, Continuing Education students studying for a certificate are admitted to a program. These students are not assigned an academic standing, but to graduate they must fulfill the graduation requirements as approved by Academic Council. Students who registered for a certificate prior to fall 1989 are not subject to this policy. All courses are designated by three letters and three digits.
