Regulation Reference/Course Definitions
The first line of the course description, the course information line, contains the discipline code and course number on the left, the course title in the middle and the course weight on the right. The credit weight may be preceded, if deemed appropriate, by an abbreviation (see a list of abbreviations below) indicating the term or session in which the course is normally taught. The course information line is followed by a brief description of the content of the course (more information is often available from the department) and in some cases may end with a statement that the course is cross-listed in another academic discipline. The description in turn is followed, where applicable, by a prerequisite, co-requisite or credit exclusion statement.
Contact Hours: Any deviation from the normal number of three contact hours per week for a course, will be noted on the right at the end of the course description.

Prerequisite: A prerequisite for a course states a condition which must be satisfied prior to registration in the course. This condition may consist of (a) obtaining credit for another course or other courses, or (b) having a particular registration status, such as registration in a program and/or in a specified year, or as a senior student (i.e. a student who has obtained five or more credits).
Co-requisite: A co-requisite for a course states (a) condition(s) which must be satisfied concurrently with registration in the course. This condition will normally be registration in a specified course unless credit is already held for the co-requisite course.
Exclusion: An exclusion is a statement indicating either that a student cannot hold credit for both the course to which the exclusion statement is attached and any course listed in the exclusion statement or that the course cannot be counted for credit in the program or toward the degree listed.
Caution: Not all courses are offered each year. Consult the department concerned for details of current course offerings. Registration in an Honours course requires the permission of the Department Chair unless specified otherwise. Students who register in a course for which they have already received credit under another course number will be deemed to be repeating the course.
