Credit in Courses "By Special Assessment"

This Faculty allows students to gain credit in some courses "by Special Assessment." Students are referred to the Undergraduate Admissions section of this Calendar where the University regulations are described (see A.20.5 Credit in Courses "By Special Assessment" in the Undergraduate Admissions section). Not more than five full-course equivalents completed "by Special Assessment" may be counted towards a degree.

Opportunities to Take Courses at Another Institution for Transfer of Credit

Students may be authorized to take some program course work at another university if registration as a visiting student is acceptable to that university. Students with poor academic performance, such as being on probation or having a large number of withdrawals, will not be allowed such privileges.

Students may apply online for such authorization by requesting a Letter of Permission through the Student Centre and must provide to the Undergraduate Programs Office full details of the proposed courses and the total hours of instruction (machine copies of actual calendar descriptions are preferred). The student will be advised officially by letter of the acceptability of the proposed courses for transfer credit in the program and an appropriate letter will be sent to the Registrar of the other university.

It will be the responsibility of the student to ensure that an official transcript of grades is forwarded directly to the Registrar of this University in order that appropriate credit may be officially recorded.

Course Classification

Courses normally available for credit towards a baccalaureate degree carry numbers from 200 to 599. Courses numbered below 300 are termed junior courses, those numbered 300 or higher, senior courses.

The numbering of courses at the 200, 300, 400, and 500-levels in a particular field is intended to indicate the level of sophistication involved and although many courses do not have prerequisites, it is often the case that a 200-level course is a prerequisite for a 300-level course, a 300-level course for a 400-level course, etc.
