Course Overload

The usual full-time course load in any year of a 3-year or 4-year BA and BSc degree is 5.0 courses. In any one term, the usual full-time load is five 0.5-courses or their equivalent.

Permission of a Dean's Office Academic Counsellor is required to take an increased or irregular course load. Permission will be considered on the basis of your past academic performance.

Course Overlap

A student taking multiple modules, may replace a maximum of 1.0 common course(s) with any senior level course(s) in Science/Basic Medical Sciences. Common courses beyond 1.0 will continue to be divided between departments and specified substitutions will be given by the departments involved in the modules.

Courses at Affiliates

Main campus students may normally take a maximum of 1.0 courses at an Affiliated University College each year.

If a section of the course is also offered on main campus, you must consult an Academic Counsellor in the Dean's Office to see if permission might be granted.

Permission will normally be considered only if the main campus section is full or creates a conflict with your schedule.
