UC Independent Study Courses
University College also has four independent study courses that give students an opportunity to design an independent research course at the 300 or 400-level not otherwise available within the Faculty of Arts & Science. For more information on the eligibility requirements and application procedure please visit the UC Independent Study webpage.
Course Conflict Policy
Can I enrol in two classes that run at the same time? Can I enrol in a class that runs at the same time as a tutorial for another class?
NO. The Public Health/Health Studies program does not allow students to miss classes or tutorials due to commitments in other courses. If we are aware of your dual enrollment in two courses whose schedules conflict, you will be removed from our course after the 2nd week of classes each semester. No accommodations will be made for students who cannot attend lectures/group work/tests due to other course conflicts. Make your scheduling decisions carefully and ensure you do not have scheduling conflicts by the 3rd week of your courses.
