Program Description Information
Program requirements will be stated in terms of ``credits''. The
``credit'' is the standard of the
credit weight system. A credit can be obtained in a number of
ways: by successfully completing
a full-credit course, two half-credit courses or four quarter-
credit courses. Other combinations
adding up to a ``credit'' are, of course, also possible. In the
program descriptions full-credit
courses are identified by the addition of an asterisk * after the
course number. Half-credit
courses do not have a symbol added to the course number.
Quarter-credit courses are denoted
by the addition of a degree symbol  . Honours program
requirements usually stipulate courses
that must be taken in each successive year of the program. These
program requirements should
be followed as closely as possible, but since not every course is
offered every year, variations
may from time to time be approved by the departments. Students
are urged to consult the course
description section of this Calendar for additional information
on the required courses and
should, in particular, note prerequisites.
