Sorry if this may seem like a stupid question, and although im in the program i should know the answer to this, however i was wondering something about staying in honours.

As a second year Honours poli sci student, i know that in first year you needed an average of 6.0 and atleast a B- in poli sci to get into honours.

Once your in however, what do you need to maintain to ensure you stay in honours, does it remain the same at 6.0?

Yup a 6. and you need to take the required courses.

Ok thanks alot. Now what happens if somehow you do not maintain that 6.0 average. I understand you will no longer be in Honours but is there a way to get back into honours the next year or no?

yeah if you fall out but then pull your average up the next year you can re-apply. I suggest still trying to take the honours required courses so you don't miss a year and push for the grades and apply the next year.
