Faculty/School Specific Information

All students must comply with the regulations and requirements contained in their Faculty section of this publication.

Agricultural and Environmental Sciences

Students should note that there are no supplemental examinations for Agricultural and Environmental Sciences courses.

Arts

For Faculty of Arts specific program and course information, please refer to the Arts OASIS site. Term(s) offered (Fall, Winter, Summer) may appear after the course credit weight to indicate when a course would normally be taught.

All courses have limited enrolment. You may register for and take any course for credit, subject to the course restrictions listed in this section, unless otherwise indicated in the Arts or Science sections of this publication.

Since the registration system is unable to verify whether Faculty regulations are respected, it is technically possible to register for courses that may not be credited toward your program. When your record is manually verified, however, any courses taken that break Faculty or degree regulations will be flagged after the end of course change period as “not for credit”. Your expected date of graduation may be delayed as a result.

Some courses may require special permission. You should consult this publication and/or the Minerva Class Schedule well in advance of the course change period to determine if instructor, department, or Faculty permission is required for any course you want to take.

If you believe that you have valid reasons for taking a course that may not be credited toward your program, you must obtain the permission of the Associate Dean or Director.

Education

Some courses will be available in the evenings only, or will be offered during the Summer term.

Students should give particular notice to prerequisite and corequisite courses and registration for Field Experience courses.

Engineering

Most courses offered by the Faculty of Engineering, including the School of Architecture, are restricted to Engineering students. Non-Engineering students should obtain permission from a Faculty advisor in the Student Affairs Office, Engineering Student Centre, to register for Engineering courses.

A limited number of School of Architecture (ARCH) courses are open to students not registered in the School. Please refer to individual course descriptions.

The average hours per week of course activities is indicated in the course listing in a note underneath the course description. Ex., (3-1-5) indicates a course consisting of three lecture hours, one hour of tutorial or labs, and five hours of personal study per week.

Extra Courses

Courses that you choose to take outside your program may be classified as "extra", provided that you choose this option at the time of registration. The course will be designated as "extra" ("RX" at the time of registration, and "E" once the course is graded) on your transcript, and the grade earned in that course will not be included in your grade point average (GPA) calculation. This option will not be added to your record after the course change (add/drop) deadline. Courses that are taken to satisfy your engineering program requirements or minor requirements cannot be designated as "extra".

Prerequisites and Corequisites

You must ensure that you have completed any course prerequisite(s) and/or corequisite(s) before course registration. If you have registered for a course and did not satisfy the prerequisite(s) and/or corequisite(s), the course may be dropped from your record automatically by Minerva.

If you received Advanced Standing credit(s)/exemption(s) or passed a placement exam for a course and are blocked from registration because of a prerequisite or corequisite error, you must go to your department/school in order to receive the appropriate permit override.

Management

Management students should give particular notice to the following Desautels Faculty of Management sections:

• Grading and Credit
• BCom Program Credit Structure: General Management Program (Concentrations)
• BCom Program Credit Structure: Major or Honours Programs
• Management Core
