  1. the University regulations (see the Academic Regulations of the University section of this Calendar),
  2. the common regulations applying to all B.A. students including those relating to First-Year Seminars and Breadth requirements (see the Academic Regulations for the Bachelor of Arts Degree ) .
  3. The School of Canadian Studies requires its Honours, Combined Honours and General students to demonstrate proficiency in a language other than English, normally French or an Indigenous language. Proficiency is normally demonstrated through the completion of 1.0 credit in FREN, or FINS 2105 and FINS 3105; or approved equivalent. For students who consider that they have proficiency in French, the School of Canadian Studies conducts a French language examination in September and January. For students who consider that they have proficiency in an Indigenous language, the onus is on the student to provide suitable documentary evidence of proficiency to the School of Canadian Studies.

Students should consult the School when planning their program and selecting courses.
