Distribution of disciplines
■ A student must choose courses from two different disciplines to satisfy credit requirements within the categories of Humanities and Social Sciences (e.g. two PSC courses cannot be used to fulfill the Social Sciences requirement). The same discipline MAY be used for both ART courses.
■ This rule no longer applies to SAGE students (Faculty approved December 2010)
![Page 5: Advising the LAC](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022062813/56816683550346895dda2906/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Distribution of disciplines
■ Also, a student may not use courses from the same discipline to satisfy credit requirements across the categories of the Arts, Humanities or Social Sciences. – If an ENG course is used for an ART
requirement, an ENG course may not also be used for the student’s HUM requirement.
■ Does not apply to SAGE students (Approved December 2010)
