breadth requirements

100-level courses 4 lyfe

Hey Aska,? ? Just a quick question about breadth requirements.? I just finished up my first year, but need to take another 1.0 FCE of 100-level courses next year because I changed my program, bringing my total to 6.0. I know that if I take any more 100-levels, they will not count towards degree credits.? However, I would like to fill my breadth requirements with 100-level courses.? Will they still count for breadth requirements even though they don’t count for degree credits? Thanks

Hi de ho,

Any course taken after you hit the ?6.0 FCE of 100-level courses will be counted as an ‘Extra Credit’.

Here’s what the man behind the?Course Calendar says:

“Extra” courses are ones that do not count for degree credit. Such courses appear on a student’s permanent academic record with the final course mark, and are noted as “XTR”, but do not count as accumulated degree credits and are not included in calculating a student’s Grade Point Average. However, Extra courses may count in other respects, such as to satisfy program requirements or breadth/distribution requirements.

Quick question, quick answer, whoopa.

forever in blue jeans,

    Hi there,

    I recently heard that you cannot take more than 6 FCE at any level but I thought
    this only applied for first year courses.
    Could someone please help me if they know the answer to this. I already have 6.5 FCE at the 200 level, so does that mean that 0.5 credit is not going to count towards my degree?

    Thanks
