Notes:
- Students may use only two English courses at the 100-level to fulfill English plan requirements; additional 100-level English courses may count as degree electives. Courses transferred from other institutions without a specific course designation (e.g., ENGL 2XX) may only be counted towards the English electives.
- Results from all English courses taken at the University of Waterloo are used to calculate the cumulative English average.
- ENGL 200A, 200B, 251A, 251B are strongly recommended for second year.
- A maximum of two of the following courses may be used to fulfill English plan requirements: ENGL 210E-I, 309E, 376R, 377R. The following English courses do not fulfill English course requirements for any English plan, including the minor: ENGL 119, 129R. These courses are designed primarily to make students aware of the different functions of language in various contexts and to assist them in improving their writing.
Although the Department of English provides advisors to help students choose their academic plans, arrange their courses and conform with the University, Faculty, and Department regulations, students are urged to study the Undergraduate Calendar very carefully because they are themselves responsible for failure to abide by these regulations.
