Welcome to Western Arts and Humanities!

Below are links to the Academic Calendar for the Arts and Humanities modules you could pursue.

When looking at the links, the first-year course is the admission requirements to the module. Your first year course selection must be the admission requirements to the module you want. It is important to note that as a first-year student you are supposed to take 5.0 first year courses, so if the admission to the module you want only has 3.0 courses listed you still need to take an additional 2.0 courses of your own choice.

Please read our First Year Guide for more help on course selection.

If you still have questions, we encourage you to connect with us through our Academic Advising Help Portal; we're here to help!

Frequently Asked QuestionsWhat should my first-year schedule include?First-year students should plan to take:
  • 5.0 1000-level credits balanced across both terms (i.e. Five courses in fall, and five courses in winter), including the courses required for the module(s) in which they hope to enroll in their upper years
  • 1.0 1000-level courses from Category A or Category B
  • You may wish to include an Essay Course in your courses, but this is not a requirement in first year.
Can I get help with course selection and registration?

You don’t have to be at peak performance to write an exam. If, however, you are too unwell to sit an exam you must seek medical attention to support your missed exam. Medical documentation along with an Academic Consideration Request form must be submitted to Academic Advising. If approved, you will be able to write the make-up exam.

For more information on the process for receiving academic consideration, please see our illness consideration page.
