Most MBA programs in Canada have either 50% or 60% as the passing requirements. Some of them have 65% requirement. But only 2 Universities in Canada have 70% as cut off for passing a course for the graduate programs: Ryerson University and University of Toronto. I wonder why the these 2 universities do this.
* Ryerson MBA has grading system from A+ to B- and passing percentage is 70%. And it is not as if grades are handed out like candy, either. This policy sucks! How can a student who scores 69% be called not good enough. Duh! Grading is very strict at Ted Rogers School of Management.

This blog documents my MBA student life at Ryerson University, Canada (2010-2012). It was an attempt to demystify the MBA experience, help understand MBA topics & encourage MBA wannabes. I have a Pre-MBA blog about B-School application process (and a few other blogs) as well. I used to blog actively in the past and interact with readers regularly, but life got very busy after my MBA. Good luck. Take care. Cheers! Gerry.
