Registration HandbooksImportant Notes

If you enrol in a course you already have the credit for due to upgrading, you will only be awarded one credit, proving space availability.

Students who attain credits at the same grade and subject level but different curriculum levels will count towards two credits. One towards the compulsory credits and one towards the elective credits. Eg. SCI421A and SCI 431A. (In this case, the SCI 421 would be counted as the Compulsory credit and the SCI 431 would be considered an elective credit.)

Registration HandbookImportant Notes

DRA621A, ART621A, CMP621A, and any of the shop classes that were listed with stars are run as independent courses. You need to understand this when registering, and you need to be committed to the work involved in a course that has little teacher involvement as they are all offered at the same time as other courses.
