Note: Graduates of the BForSc will not be admitted to the GradDipFor but may apply for the MForSc or PGDipFor.
To qualify for the diploma a candidate must complete courses which have a minimum weighting of 120 points. At least 90 points shall be from the 300- and 400-level Forestry courses.
The Graduate Diploma in Forestry may be awarded with Distinction.
Normal prerequisites for any courses may be exempted at the discretion of the Dean of Engineering and Forestry.
The Graduate Diploma may be studied part-time.
The Graduate Diploma will be completed in one year of full-time study (under exceptional circumstances the Dean may extend this to 18 months) or two years of part-time study. A part-time candidate is one who, because of employment, health, family or other reasons, is unable to devote his or her full-time to study; part-time enrolment requires the approval of the Academic Board.
A candidate who has failed one or more courses is allowed to repeat those courses for credit subject to the time limits in Regulation 6.
