 9. Credit for previous studies

Students may be eligible for exemptions from, or credit for, certain subjects in their courses. Students should seek advice from their course coordinators. However, advice from course coordinators alone does not constitute official approval. All granting of credits and exemptions must be approved by the Student Services Office and must be in writing. It is the student's responsibility to seek such written approval. Students should be aware that there are certain University restrictions which apply to the granting of credit and exemptions, some of which are detailed below. The regulation should be read and understood by any student wishing to receive credit or exemption either: a.) towards the final year of any course; or b.) towards more than 50% of any 1- or 2-year course. If you do not understand the regulation, or you have questions about other situations regarding credit, please seek appropriate advice from the Student Services Office or the Student Union Legal Adviser; it is in your interest to do so to avoid potential conflicts.

UNIVERSITY STATUTE 11.1.9 (1) - Limitations on Granting of Credits

Credits shall not be given for, or exemptions granted from passing in: a.) any subject of the final year, if a course for the degree of bachelor is divided into years; or b.) any subject which, for the purposes of this section, is considered by the faculty to be a final year subject, if a course for the degree of bachelor is not divided into years; or c.) more than one-half of the work of the course, as determined by the faculty, if the duration of the full-time course does not normally exceed two years.
