PROGRAM REGULATIONS
No more than three 100-level English courses may be credited towards a degree program in English.
Students are required to have completed 26-120, 26-210, and 26-211 by the end of second year.
26-260 will satisfy the Category C (Canadian literature) requirement even if it has already been used to satisfy a 200-level requirement. If 26-260 is used to satisfy both a 200-level requirement and the Category C requirement, the student must take one additional course to bring the total number of courses up to the required number for the degree program.
