Hi there,
I had a question regarding UofT’s distinction policy. I’m currently in the advanced standing Master of Social Work program at UoT. It’s a one year program for me and the course load is equivalent to 8 Half-Credit Courses [H=0.5 credit; Y=1 full credit course]. So if I wanted to graduate with distinction or high distinction, what GPA would I need by the end of the year? Please let me know.
Thank you,
Sharon Philip

hey there,
i’ve had a bit of difficulty reaching someone at the faculty of social work who can answer your question. it’s almost like university staff are super busy and important people. who knew???
the person you need is Sharon Bewell (416-978-6364), so if you can reach her, she’ll know the answer.
i’ll give you my most educated shot in the dark, but i can’t promise i’m right, so just keep that in mind.
since the faculty of social work’s grading scale is the same as the faculty of arts & science’s, and since that grading scale is regulated by the university of toronto’s policies about graduate schools more broadly, my best guess is that distinction and high distinction – if that exists at factor inwentash – follows the model set up by the faculty of arts & science. the grades are the same, so, likely, the distinction is the same, too.
again, since i wasn’t able to reach anyone at the faculty, this is just my BEST GUESS, alright? the best thing to do is try your very best to reach Sharon Bewell and confirm.
xoxo and happy day back from reading week :'(,
