Academic Options
Visiting students may only register for courses listed on the Letter of Permission or Course Selection Form, if there is space available and if they have completed course work equivalent to UÂ鶹´«Ã½'s prerequisites. It is important to confirm that you have completed the required prerequisite courses. UÂ鶹´«Ã½ departments have the right to restrict registration if prerequisites have not been completed.
In the Academic Calendar you can find information about all our "AREAS OF STUDY" and you can see our entire catalogue of courses and check prerequisites in the "ALL COURSE DESCRIPTIONS" section.
To see which courses are being offered in an upcoming Term, you can either go to the Timetable or the online system. In WebAdvisor, choose "guest" and then "Search for course sections." For each search, choose a Term and area of study to get a list of courses that are being offered by a department in an upcoming Term. Clicking on a section name/title will give you more details about that course, including pre-requisites.
