COURSE CREDIT

Unless otherwise stated "course", "option", or "full-course equivalent" means one full course or two half-courses.

A course repeat is any course previously attempted and recorded at UWO. A course attempt having a passing grade may be repeated only once. A course attempt having a failing grade may be repeated only twice. Further course repeats may only be authorized by the Dean of the Faculty in which the student is registered. Grades (including failures) for all course attempts will appear on the transcript and will be included in the accumulation of course attempts and maximum failures allowed. All but the most recent course attempt will appear on the transcript as Repeated, No Credit and will be excluded from cumulative average calculations used for progression requirements. The last mark/grade will be used for all other academic purposes. This regulation also applies to courses that are antirequisite to each other.

Unless otherwise specified, two half-courses equal one full course in undergraduate programs, whether or not they have been taken in the same subject.

In programs that include optional courses, one option is defined as one full course or two half-courses.

Students may substitute for a prescribed course only with the consent of the Department of their honors program or area of concentration and with the written approval of the Dean of their Faculty of registration. All substitutions must conform to the basic requirements set by the Senate.
