*Certain courses with restricted enrolments are available in the first instance to those Program Honours and Majors who have met all prerequisites and whose programs require such courses. After a specific registration period for those students, other students who have met all prerequisites may be accommodated. See Limitation of Enrolment for courses that may apply.

**Applicability to the field depends upon the actual course content. Additional approvals will be granted on a course by course basis. Check the list published by the Department each February.

***No more than 6 units (1.0 full-course equivalent) of such courses (approved by the Department prior to registering in the course) can be counted towards the Major Field.

****No more than 3 units (0.5 full-course equivalent) of the courses in this group may be counted towards the major field.
