An anti-requisite course is a course that contains the same or similar content and therefore if both are taken, only the most receipt course credit will be retained for credit. The first course will be noted as RNC on a student’s transcript, meaning repeated no credit. For example if a student completed Physiology 1021 successfully and then the following year, the student then completes Physiology 2130, they will lose credit for Physiology 1021.
Priority Constraint is a temporary constraint that limits the registration to a particular group of students (e.g. students enrolled in year 4 of an Honours Specialization) for a period of time. A priority may change for each enrollment period on specific dates. (e.g. opens on priority lift day 1 to students enrolled in year 3 of an Honours Specialization). Restriction Constraint is a constraint that limits registration to a particular group for the duration of the course registration period.
Fall/Winter - A full course load is 5.0 credits per Fall/Winter session. To maintain full-time status, students must be taking 3.5 credits or more. Students are permitted to take a maximum 2.5 credits per term. Part-time status means a student is taking 3.0 or less credits. Summer – Students are normally considered part-time and are limited to 2.5 credits. Pay attention to the date overlap of your course selections to ensure that you can manage the demands of the competing course work and expectations.
