Frequently Asked Questions

We are not able to offer all of the courses that appear in the calendar in any one year. When a professor is on sabbatical leave, for example, the upper year courses that are taught by them are often not offered. Most times, the course will be offered the following year.

This happens because the Y designation means that the course is not offered in a regular session, but the system reads that as being a full year course. Geog 3000Y is actually offered in fall so you should be able to fit 2.5 courses in fall and 2.5 in winter, with this course included in fall.

We have notified the registrar's office and the problem should be fixed, but in case you do run into it call the helpline at 519-661-2100.
