UofC " This Is Now

Full-time first year students (those registered in three full-course equivalents or more) must register in at least two full-course equivalents in the Faculty of Humanities.

Until at least three full-course equivalents at the junior level have been successfully completed, a student may not register in senior courses unless their program requires it.

The programs offered by the Faculty of Humanities do not require specific preparatory courses in the first year. Students are encouraged to take a wide selection of courses in their first year. For guidance in course selection, first year students should visit the Enrolment Services website (http://www.ucalgary.ca/registrar) to obtain registration details.

Students are responsible for the completeness and accuracy of their registration and for arranging their course selections to meet all program requirements as detailed in the following pages. Students should seek the advice of the Associate Dean (Academic Programs and Student Affairs) and/or the Department of their Major. It is important that students acquaint themselves with the deadline dates for advance registration set by the University (see B. Registration in the Academic Regulations section of this Calendar) and allow sufficient time before these deadlines for Department and Faculty consultation and approval. Consultations with the Associate Dean (Academic Programs and Student Affairs) are strongly recommended for those students who are registering in the final courses towards a degree. Any departure from standard requirements must receive prior authorization in writing from the Associate Dean (Academic Programs and Student Affairs). Except with permission of the Associate Dean (Academic Programs and Student Affairs), a student successfully completing a course without having a normal prerequisite course in the same field may not subsequently register in the prerequisite course for program credit.

Regardless of their home Faculty, students are not permitted to register in more than six full-course equivalents from any group of courses constituting the field of a major program other than that to which the student has officially been admitted.

Five courses taken concurrently represent a normal full load. Students who have completed such a course load through the previous Fall and Winter Terms with a grade point average of at least 3.20 will be permitted to register in six courses concurrently, but it should be stressed that extra courses represent substantial burdens and may damage overall performance. Opportunities for accelerated progress also exist through credit in Spring and Summer Terms and through credits obtained "by special assessment."
