Course Overlap

海角社区

You will not receive additional credit toward your BA听degree for any course that overlaps in content with a course for which you have already received credit at 海角社区, CEGEP, at another university, or on the basis of Advanced Placement exams, Advanced Level results, International Baccalaureate Diploma, or a French Baccalaureate.听 Details on advanced standing and transfer credits can be found here.听

If you have any question regarding potential course overlap, it is your responsibility to consult with an advisor at听Arts OASIS or the department offering the course听and to be aware of any restrictions specified in the course description.听 You can find full details on the course overlap听policy in the .

For information on repeated courses please consult the Records Verification page.


Common Course Overlap Issues

Below you will find a table of some of the most common course overlap issues that BA students will encounter. This is NOT a complete list of all possible equivalent courses or situations!听 Students should consult the course listings on Minerva (read the NOTES section of the listing and click on the CRN and then the听course title to see all the restrictions for a class) and in the eCalendar to verify that a course does not overlap with one previously completed at 海角社区 or with advanced standing/transfer credits.

听If you have any questions, submit a request via the听.

Where a course "overlap" exists, students will not be permitted to retain credit for the overlapping course. This is for either the scenario where the initial course was previously taken and passed at 海角社区 (or awarded as advanced standing or as transfer credit), or for where it is being taken concurrently with the overlapping course.

Calculus		 MATH 122 MATH 139 or MATH 140 or MATH 141
  • MATH 122听is only open to Desautels Faculty of Management students.
  • Despite the stated overlap in the course description for MATH 122, Arts OASIS will exceptionally permit students to retain credit for both MATH 122 and any of the overlapping MATH courses.

MATH 139

MATH 140
  • Credit will only be given for ONE听introductory Calculus class. 听
  • MATH 139 includes pre-Calculus, as well as the material in MATH 140,听 and is meant for students with no high school Calculus background. Details on introductory Math听classes can be found听here.
MATH 140 MATH 150

The course sequence of MATH 139听or听MATH 140 + MATH 141 + MATH 222 is the equivalent to MATH 150 + MATH 151. Details on the different sequences听 of Calculus听classes can be found here.
MATH 141 MATH 151

Special Note About Statistics Courses:

There is significant overlap between many statistics courses offered by different academic departments. Ensure that you read the course description in the eCalendar and on Minerva very carefully when registering for a statistics course, pay attention to any restrictions, and听keep the following in mind:

  • U0 Students:鈥疌onsider waiting until you鈥檝e declared your programs before taking an introductory statistics course.鈥疶his ensures you take the course that aligns with your chosen program.
  • CEGEP students:听refer to the CEGEP transfer credit page.
  • Course Descriptions:听Read the course descriptions in the eCalendar and on Minerva carefully, paying attention to any restrictions.
  • Consult Advisors:鈥疘f your Major/Minor/Honours program requires a statistics course, consult with a departmental/program advisor before registering. They may suggest alternative courses to fulfill program requirements if there is an overlap.
  • If one or more of your Major/Minor/Honours programs requires a statistics course: consult with a departmental/program advisor before registering, and refer to the eCalendar here.
  • PSYC 204: this is an introductory statistics course. Refer to Rules #1 and #3, left. If you are enrolled in a Psychology program (eg. Major, Minor or Honours) where PSYC 204 is required, take note of their specific requirements as they pertain to equivalencies / overlap for that course in particular.

Note: If you complete听a听 course听listed above and it is determined you had already completed it in a prior term (either at 海角社区, or elsewhere, or not per the conditions cited), your grade and course credit will be E-flagged as not counting towards your degree.听
