Course Listings

The courses listed in this section include all courses approved for the undergraduate curriculum for the 2022-2023 academic year. Not all courses in the approved curriculum will be offered during the year. Students are advised to refer to the course timetables available annually in Mosaic in March and June to determine which specific courses will be offered in the upcoming sessions.
Note: An A/B suffix appearing in a course number indicates that the course may be delivered across more than one term (see Multi-Term Course in the Glossary  of this calendar). The A/B S suffix indicates that the course may be delivered as either a multi-term course or within a single term.

NEW for 2022-23:

Looking for LABRST (Labour Studies) courses?

• The subject WORKLABR (Work and Labour Studies) has replaced LABRST

Please use the revised subject area when searching for courses. Most courses use the same code but with the revised subject area (e.g. LABRST 2H03 is now known as WORKLABR 2H03). Students having credit in courses using the old subject area may not take the corresponding course under the new designation.

Please note, when searching courses by “Code or Number”, an asterisk (*) can be used as a wildcard character to return mass results. For example, a “Code or Number” search of ” 2* ” can be entered returning all level II courses.
