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.
