Course Outlines

Outlines will be posted as they become available, usually no later than one week prior to the start of a term. Please note that this means some outlines will be available before others and we cannot predict at what time individual outlines will be posted. 

Department Policies

All students are expected to review our Department policies found on the Student Experience and Resources page to ensure that procedures are followed correctly. Please take a moment to read through these important documents.

PLEASE NOTE: “Standing in a course is determined by the course instructor subject to approval of the Department and Faculty Dean.  This means that any grades submitted by the instructor may be subject to revision.  No grades are final until they have been approved by the Department and the Dean”.
