Notes:

1. Special Topics, Senior Seminars, Directed Studies, courses taken in the International Exchange program, and generally any course with Medieval content may be permitted at the discretion of the Medieval Studies advisors and with special permission. Please see one of the Medieval Studies advisors for details.
2. CLAS 342, 352, FINE 342, LAT 490, and 491 are topic-based courses, therefore, subject to Medieval Studies advisor's approval.
3. MEDVL 105 counts toward the required course units needed in Classical Studies and MEDVL 260 counts toward the required course units needed in History.
4. Students who have taken ITAL 101 and 102 are precluded from taking ITAL 155 and vice versa.
5. Although it is possible to combine a major in Medieval Studies with a minor, or option, in another discipline, it is not possible to obtain a joint honours degree. Please contact one of the program's Co-Directors for more information.
