The Faculty of Arts allows students to challenge some courses or, in other words, gain credit “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). Application for such credit should be made on the appropriate form and requires the approval of both the Department offering the course and the office of the Associate Dean (Students).
Not more than five full-course equivalents completed by special assessment may be counted towards a degree.
