Calculating your course load

The number of credits you need depends on which program you’re in. When you're calculating your course load, the table headings refer to the following:

  • Credits: 100% of a full-time course load for September - April
  • 60% session: 60% of a full-time course load for September - April
  • 60% term: 60% of a 1-term full-time course load
  • 40% session: 40% of a full-time course load for September - April
  • 40% term: 40% of a 1-term full-time course load

Full-year course credits are divided into 50% in Term 1 and 50% in Term 2. Make sure you maintain minimum enrolment in each term.

N/A credits: If your program and year level credit requirements are listed as N/A, please contact your Enrolment Services Advisor. ES advisors are available to help all students.
