• Take all pre-requisites prior to attempting to register for a given course, and
• Satisfy the pre-requisites that require grades higher than C-.

2) COBA 4885 and COBA 4886 (Experiential Learning and Internship I and II) provide the opportunity for students to gain unpaid work experience and course credit.

• Can be undertaken only after completion of a minimum of two semesters, 18 credits.
• Cannot be taken in the last semester of the program.

5) If substitute courses are required, students are responsible for:

• Seeking approval prior to registering for any course substitutions;
• Choosing courses that fulfill all graduation requirements; and
• Completing pre-requisites for the substitute courses (i.e., not expect pre-requisite overrides).
