Course title

 

Course description
This section gives a brief overview of the course.

Prerequisites and corequisites
Prerequisite: a specific course, or courses (or other requirement), that must be successfully completed prior to registration. A minimum grade of C- is required.
Corequisite: a specific course, or courses, which must be taken at the same time as a registered course.
Pre- or corequisite: a course that may be taken concurrently with another course, or previously. If taken previously, a minimum grade of C- is required unless otherwise specified.
It is the students’ responsibility to enroll only in courses for which the stated prerequisites and corequisites have been met.

Transferability

For information on transferability of 100- and 200-level courses to BC institutions, consult the BC Online Transfer Guide at BCTransferGuide.ca. For transferability of courses numbered 300 and above, or transfer outside BC, check with the institution you wish to attend.

Prerequisites and co-requisites

Prerequisites/co-requisites are requirements needed prior to, or concurrent with, your registration in a course. A prerequisite refers to a specific course (or other requirement) that must be successfully completed prior to registration. A minimum grade of C- is required.

It is understood that you may seek instructor’s written permission if you feel that your experience/knowledge is sufficient to warrant exemption from the stated prerequisite or corequisite. This written permission must be presented at the time of registration.

Even though many university-level courses have no prerequisite listed, it is expected that those enrolling have university-level reading, writing, and research skills. If you are unsure of your ability level or want to improve your skills, we suggest you enrol in ENGL 099: Pre-University Composition, or CSM 108: Critical Analysis and Learning, or write the Composition Placement Test (CPT). CPT details are available through Assessment Services. For details about CSM 108 and ENGL 099, please read the course descriptions.

For more details on support services available, please see Educational Advising, the Student Services website, or the academic support courses.

Please note: Students are expected to present either Math 12 or Principles of Math 12 to meet appropriate prerequisites. In addition, some UFV departments require Math 12 provincial examination scores to fulfill prerequisites. Check your program’s entrance requirements section for details.

Unless otherwise stated, any BC secondary course used for program entrance requirements or course prerequisites must be completed for full value (4 credits).

Course renumbering

If a course is given a new number, the former number is shown below the title in the course description. Retaking a course, even with its new number, is considered repeating the course. Please see this section for details on repeated courses and the effect on GPA.
