苹果淫院

You will not receive additional credit towards your degree for any course that overlaps in content with a course for which you have already received credit at 苹果淫院, CEGEP, at another university, or Advanced Placement exams, Advanced Level results, International Baccalaureate Diploma, or French Baccalaureate. It is your responsibility to consult with a Faculty Adviser in Arts OASIS, the Science Office for Undergraduate Advising (SOUSA), or the department offering the course as to whether or not credit can be obtained and to be aware of exclusion clauses specified in the course description in this publication. Please refer to the following website for specific information about Advanced Standing credits and 苹果淫院 course exemptions: mcgill.ca/transfercredit.

Sometimes the same course is offered by two different departments. Such courses are called "double-prefix" courses. When such courses are offered simultaneously, you should take the course offered by the department in which you are obtaining your degree. For example, in the case of double-prefix courses CHEM XYZ and PHYS XYZ, Chemistry students take CHEM XYZ and the Physics students take PHYS XYZ. If a double-prefix course is offered by different departments in alternate years, you may take whichever course best fits your schedule.

As a student in the Faculty of Science, you should consult the statement of regulations for taking courses outside the Faculties of Arts and of Science (see below). A list of approved/not-approved courses in other faculties is posted on the SOUSA website (mcgill.ca/science/undergraduate/handbook). You may take courses on the approved list and may not, under any circumstances, take courses on the not-approved list for credit. Requests for permission to take courses that are not on either list should be addressed to the Associate Dean, Student Affairs for Science.

The regulations are as follows:

• You may take only 6 credits per year, up to 18 credits in all, of courses outside the Faculties of Arts and of Science.
• Courses offered 鈥渋n the Faculty of Science鈥� or 鈥渋n the Faculty of Arts鈥� are found in the eCalendar All Courses search, when filtered by 鈥淔aculty of Science鈥� or by 鈥淔aculty of Arts.鈥�
• Courses in other faculties that are considered as taught by Science (e.g., BIOT, EXMD, and PHAR) are so designated as offered by the 鈥淔aculty of Science鈥� in the eCalendar All Courses search.
• Courses in Music are considered as outside the Faculties of Arts and of Science, except MUAR courses, which are considered Arts courses.
• All courses listed in the Religious Studies (RELG) section are considered courses in Arts and Science except for courses restricted to B.Th. or S.T.M. students and courses that require permission from the Chair of the B.Th. Committee.
• Students should consult the list of restricted courses outside of the Faculties of Arts and of Science on the SOUSA website (mcgill.ca/science/undergraduate/handbook).
• You must have the necessary prerequisites and permission of the instructor for such courses.
• Credit for computer and statistics courses offered by faculties other than Arts and Science require the permission of the Associate Dean, Student Affairs for Science and will be granted only under exceptional circumstances.
• If you use Minerva to register for a course, and it exceeds the specified limitations or it is not approved, the course will be flagged for no credit after the course change period.
• Credit will not be given for any 鈥渉ow to鈥� courses offered by other faculties that are intended to provide you with only practical or professional training in specific applied areas. Examples include courses that teach the use of certain computer packages (databases, spreadsheets, etc.) or computer languages (SQL, COBOL, FORTRAN, etc.); machine shop or electronic shop courses; technical drawing courses; and professional practice courses.
• As a student in the Bieler School of Environment, you may exceed the 18-credit limit for courses outside the Faculties of Arts and of Science, provided that all such courses are necessary to complete your program of study.
• As a student in the Major in Software Engineering, you may exceed the 18-credit limit for courses outside the Faculties of Arts and of Science, provided that all such courses are necessary to complete your program of study.
• As a student in the B.Sc. Liberal Program taking a Major Concentration in Music, you may exceed the 18-credit limit for courses outside the Faculties of Arts and of Science, provided that all such courses are necessary to complete your program of study, up to a maximum of 36 Music credits.
• The 18-credit limit applies to students taking the Minor in Nutrition; equivalent courses in Science should be taken instead of courses in the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences.

As a Science student, you may obtain transfer credit for correspondence, distance education, or web-based courses if you receive prior approval from the appropriate 苹果淫院 department for the course content and prior approval from the Associate Dean, Student Affairs, Science, for the method of delivery and evaluation. Courses taught through distance education from institutions other than 苹果淫院 will only be considered for transfer credits under the following conditions:

• The course is given by a government-accredited, degree-granting institution acceptable to 苹果淫院.
• The course counts for credit toward degrees granted at the institution giving the course.
• The combined total of regular course credits and distance education course credits do not exceed the permitted maximum number of credits per term according to Faculty regulations.
• Courses taught through distance education may not be used to complete program requirements, except on an individual basis when serious, documented circumstances warrant it.

ESL courses are only open to students whose primary language is not English and who have studied for fewer than five years in English-language secondary institutions. As a student in the B.Sc., you may take a maximum of 12 credits, including academic writing courses for non-anglophones, from the list of ESL courses published in the Handbook under Course Restrictions mcgill.ca/science/undergraduate/handbook/.

Registration for First-Year Seminars is limited to students in their first year of study at 苹果淫院, i.e., newly admitted students in U0 or U1. These courses are designed to provide a closer interaction with professors and better working relations with peers than is available in large introductory courses. These seminars endeavour to teach the latest scholarly developments and expose participants to advanced research methods. Registration is on a first-come, first-served basis. The maximum number of students in any seminar is 25, although some are limited to fewer than that.

You may take only one First-Year Seminar. If you register for more than one, you will be obliged to withdraw from all but one of them. Please consult the departmental listings for course descriptions and availability.

The First-Year Seminars offered by the Faculty of Arts are also open to Science students. For a complete listing, please consult Faculty of Arts > Undergraduate > Browse Academic Units & Programs > First-Year Seminars.

The credit assigned to a particular course should reflect the amount of effort it demands of you. Normally, one credit will represent three hours total work per week for one term鈥攊ncluding a combination of lecture hours, other contact hours, such as laboratory periods, tutorials, and problem periods, as well as personal study time.
