Academic Year 2024-2025
The Cape Breton University Academic Calendar is published in advance of the beginning of the academic year. The Calendar assists readers in understanding the academic and administrative structure, policies, and procedures of the University and describes the academic programs offered. Cape Breton University produces its academic calendar in an online version. The information in the calendar is under continuous review. CBU reserves the right to make such amendments and additions as deemed appropriate.
Every effort has been made to ensure this Calendar is accurate. Errors and post-publication changes after the initial publication of the Calendar are posted as soon as possible. The content of this calendar is subject to change without notice, other than through the regular processes of Cape Breton University, and every student accepted for registration in the University shall be deemed to have agreed to any such deletion, revision, or addition whether made before or after said acceptance. Additionally, students are advised that this calendar is not an all-inclusive set of rules and regulations but represents only a portion of the rules and regulations that will govern the student’s relationship with the University. Other rules and regulations are contained in additional publications that are available to the student from the Registrar’s Office, and/or the relevant faculty, department, or school.
Upon registration, each student becomes bound by the policies and regulations of Cape Breton University. Students are responsible for being familiar with the general information, rules, and regulations of Cape Breton University, as well as the specific requirements of each program, degree, diploma, or certificate that the student aims to achieve. Not every course listed in the Calendar will necessarily be offered in any academic year Cape Breton University reserves the right to limit the number of students who enrol in any program or course. While reasonable efforts will be made to offer courses as required within programs, admission to a program does not guarantee admission to any given course. If there is an inconsistency between the Calendar and regulations and policies established by a resolution of Senate, the version of such material as it is established by Senate will take precedence and be binding on students.
