DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
a) Obtaining a degree
1. In order to earn an honors baccalaureate in commerce, students must have successfully completed at least 121 credits of courses with a grade of D or better while satisfying the conditions concerning compulsory courses and electives. Students must have a minimum cumulative average of 4.5 on all courses of their program completed at the University of Ottawa. In addition, students must have an average of at least 5.0 in the six best courses of their option or in the best six ADM courses at the 3000- and 4000-level, which are part of their specialized program or of their program without option. Students must have completed at least 12 credits of courses at the ADM 4000 level.
Grades obtained in courses for which advanced standing was granted or for courses taken at another University with a letter of permission (except for courses taken at Carleton University with the Ottawa-Carleton exchange program) are not computed in the cumulative grade point average.
2. If students foresee that, by the end of the academic year, they will have met all the requirements of the honors baccalaureate in commerce program, they must make a formal request for the degree before the deadline stipulated by the Office of the Registrar.
3. Candidates who, at the end of their program, have not achieved the required cumulative grade point average of 4.5 in all courses of their program will be permitted to register for a maximum of 24 additional credits of courses.
Candidates who, at the end of their program, have not achieved the required average of 5.0 in the six best courses of their option or the six best courses at the 3000- and 4000-level of their specialized program or their program without option will be permitted to register in a maximum of four additional courses (12 credits), repeating, if necessary, courses already taken.
Should the students fail to meet these requirements in this manner, they could attempt to meet the requirements of another option or of the program without option.
b) Minimum number of credits to be obtained at the University of Ottawa

To obtain a baccalaureate from the University of Ottawa, a student must obtain a minimum of 30 credits at the University of Ottawa. The credits are divided as follows based on the type of baccalaureate.
