What Do I Do First? ❖ Following the session, the School Program Assistant (trsitm@ryerson.ca) will email your contract for the Spring/Summer 2020 term ❖ You must sign and return by email a copy acknowledging that you understand the conditions of your contract no later than Thursday, April 30, 2020 ❖ It is your responsibility to add/readjust your timetable using RAMSS ❖ You are academically and financially responsible for any course registration during the semester ❖ my.ryerson.ca (RAMSS) 16 *

Can I Drop a Class? ❖ Students CANNOT drop any classes indicated on their EAP contracts. Doing so will be in violation of the contract and will disqualify you from the Fresh Start Program and revert you to RTW status ❖ It is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY to contact your program advisors and instructors if experiencing academic/personal problems during the term, DO NOT DELAY 17 *

Finished the Fresh Start Program? ❖ Successful completion of the EAP1 and EAP2 contracts will guarantee reinstatement back into the BTM program (Full ‐ time or Part ‐ time Degree, subject to space) ❖ Students that will be completing their EAP 2 contract in Fall 2020: ❖ If your CGPA is between 1.0 and 1.66, you will continue on Academic Probation ❖ If your CGPA is 1.67 or above, you will be calculated to Clear status 18 *

If I do not complete the Program: ❖ If you are unsuccessful in EAP1, EAP2 or decide to opt out of the program, you will be reverted back to RTW status ❖ You are required to sit out for the remainder of the 12 month period ❖ After this period, you may apply for reinstatement to the program. However, it is highly unlikely you will be reinstated ❖ You may participate in the Fresh Start Program only once during your academic career at Ryerson. Withdrawal from, or unsuccessful completion of, an Extended Academic Probation Contract will constitute one attempt 19 *

Your Performance Matters ❖ If you choose to participate in Fresh Start and then decide to revert back to RTW, it is in your best interest to talk to the school and advise on the reason you are not able to continue ❖ It is important to know that your performance and dedication to your studies this semester will impact your future application to be re-instated to the program and poor academic performance will likely result in your inability to continue your studies in TRSM 20 *
