Elective courses
- Elective courses in your program structure must be completed
- Elective courses allow you the freedom to tailor your program toward your personal or professional interests
- Most programs have a restriction on the number of introductory level courses (100 coded) you are allowed to study, so please check your program requirements before selecting elective courses
- Some courses may also include a compulsory field trip, requiring payment of an additional fee and may be held outside of the regular teaching weeks, ie on weekends or during semester breaks
- Elective courses may be used to add a major or minor area of study to your program (Faculty of Arts, Business and Law majors and minors or Faculty of Science, Health, Education and Engineering majors and minors)
