1. Proficiency Requirement in English
   Students in the Faculty of Arts and the Faculty of Science who have demonstrated deficiency in English writing skills may be required to receive non-credit instruction in basic writing skills from the University Writing Centre. Students who do not meet these requirements will be prohibited from further registration in the Faculty except by permission of the Dean.
2. Prohibition from Registration
   1. A student deemed by the department offering a particular course to have the knowledge or skills taught in that course may be declared ineligible to register for credit in that course.
   2. A student who has failed the equivalent of two junior credits in a subject, whether the failure occurred in the same course(s) or different courses, will be barred from registering for credit in further junior courses in that subject, except by permission of the Dean and of the department offering the subject.

3. Honours and General Courses
   Several departments in each Faculty offer a limited number of courses which are specifically intended for, and restricted to, Honours students in the discipline. For these courses, all other students require special permission from the department concerned to register in the Honours level courses, but may take General level equivalents where such exist.
4. Double Counting
   A senior course counted toward a program (Honours, major, minor or option) may not also be counted toward any other program except when a program description explicitly permits it. When the same course is required in more than one program, another course must be substituted for it as follows: a course required in both a minor and a major, or option, must be substituted in the minor. A course required in both a major, or option, and an Honours program must be substituted in the major or option. Likewise, a course required in both a minor and an Honours program must be substituted in the minor. A junior course may not be substituted for a senior course. Substitute courses will be counted as part of the program in which they were substituted. It is necessary to obtain the approval for the substitution from the department or Co-ordinating Committee responsible for the program in which the course is substituted.
5. Course Equivalency
   Departments may, with the approval of the Dean, recognize a specific course as the equivalent of a required course when a student has obtained satisfactory credit for the course at this or another institution.
