Course Overlap

91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ

You will not receive additional credit toward your BAÌýdegree for any course that overlaps in content with a course for which you have already received credit at 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ, CEGEP, at another university, or on the basis of Advanced Placement exams, Advanced Level results, International Baccalaureate Diploma, or a French Baccalaureate.Ìý Details on advanced standing and transfer credits can be found here.Ìý

If you have any question regarding potential course overlap, it is your responsibility to consult with an advisor atÌýArts OASIS or the department offering the courseÌýand to be aware of any restrictions specified in the course description.Ìý You can find full details on the course overlapÌýpolicy in the .

For information on repeated courses please consult the Records Verification page.


Common Course Overlap Issues

Below you will find a table of some of the most common course overlap issues that BA students will encounter. This is NOT a complete list of all possible equivalent courses or situations!Ìý Students should consult the course listings on Minerva (read the NOTES section of the listing and click on the CRN and then theÌýcourse title to see all the restrictions for a class) and in the eCalendar to verify that a course does not overlap with one previously completed at 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ or with advanced standing/transfer credits.

ÌýIf you have any questions, submit a request via theÌý.

Where a course "overlap" exists, students will not be permitted to retain credit for the overlapping course. This is for either the scenario where the initial course was previously taken and passed at 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ (or awarded as advanced standing or as transfer credit), or for where it is being taken concurrently with the overlapping course.

Special Note About Statistics Courses:

There is significant overlap between many statistics courses offered by different academic departments. Ensure that you read the course description in the eCalendar and on Minerva very carefully when registering for a statistics course, pay attention to any restrictions, andÌýkeep the following in mind:

  • U0 Students: Consider waiting until you’ve declared your programs before taking an introductory statistics course. This ensures you take the course that aligns with your chosen program.
  • CEGEP students:Ìýrefer to the CEGEP transfer credit page.
  • Course Descriptions:ÌýRead the course descriptions in the eCalendar and on Minerva carefully, paying attention to any restrictions.
  • Consult Advisors: If your Major/Minor/Honours program requires a statistics course, consult with a departmental/program advisor before registering. They may suggest alternative courses to fulfill program requirements if there is an overlap.
  • If one or more of your Major/Minor/Honours programs requires a statistics course: consult with a departmental/program advisor before registering, and refer to the eCalendar here.
  • PSYC 204: this is an introductory statistics course. Refer to Rules #1 and #3, left. If you are enrolled in a Psychology program (eg. Major, Minor or Honours) where PSYC 204 is required, take note of their specific requirements as they pertain to equivalencies / overlap for that course in particular.

Note: If you completeÌýaÌý courseÌýlisted above and it is determined you had already completed it in a prior term (either at 91Ë¿¹ÏÊÓƵ, or elsewhere, or not per the conditions cited), your grade and course credit will be E-flagged as not counting towards your degree.Ìý
