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.19.5 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, Undergraduate Programs and Student Affairs.
Not more than 30 units (five full-course equivalents) completed by special assessment may be counted towards a degree.
