Advising, forms & support
General advising information
Economics advising can help students with understanding program options and requirements, making course selection, managing workload and navigating the student request process.
Advising does not provide assistance with transferring to other faculties or programs, including transferring to the John Molson School of Business. In addition, we cannot help with choosing non-Economics electives or handling immigration and non-academic matters. These should be addressed through the appropriate university offices.

Useful information for BA students
Transfer requirements
You must have completed 24 credits at Concordia and have a CGPA of 2.6 or higher (3.30 for Honours) and satifactory grades (C or higher) in Economics and mathematics courses. BA students can apply into the program at any time during the academic year if they meet these requirements. Questions? Book an advising appointment or email econ.advising@concordia.ca.
Prerequisite courses
- There are no prerequisite Economics courses, however you can take the introductory courses (ECON 201 and ECON 203) in preparation to transfer into the program.
- Students must complete MATH 203 or MATH 209 to advance in the program and transfer into Economics. If you do not have either course exempted, you are required to take one or the other in preparation for the transfer.
- In addition, while ECON 221 is open for students outside of Economics, ECON 222 is restricted to students in the program.
Grades
Your Grade Point Average (GPA) is the main calculation used to determine your academic performance. Concordia uses letter grades (A to F) on a 4.3 GPA scale. All grade point averages are weighted and are calculated independently from one another.
