Hey Aska, love your site! I’ve been reading your site since I started at UTSC, and finally have a question to ask!
What’s the difference between a BA and an HBA? I’m in the French CTEP program at Scarborough and I’ll end up with a BEd/HBA. What would I get if I get actual honours standing? HBA (hons)? I’m pretty confused. Also, what GPA is considered honours standing?
Thank you!

Frenchie baabay,
At U of T the phrase ‘honours’ refers to a four year program as opposed to a regular three year degee.
In reference to the getting crazy awesome grades, U of T has ‘distinction’ or ‘high distinction’ instead. Here is what the UTSC course calendar?has to?say on the matter”
University of Toronto Scarborough students who have completed at least ten full credits while registered at University of Toronto Scarborough or at the University of Toronto’s Faculty of Arts and Science will graduate with high distinction if their cumulative grade point average is 3.50 or better and will graduate with distinction if their cumulative grade point average is between 3.20 and 3.49. Students who have completed fewer than ten University of Toronto Scarborough or Faculty of Arts & Science credits who have a cumulative grade point average of 3.20 or better will be considered on an individual basis.
