Faculty of Arts

Notes

1. Successful completion of ARTS 130 and ARTS 140 requires a minimum grade of 50% in each course.
2. A completed English Language Proficiency milestone on a student's academic record will indicate successful completion of this requirement.
3. Students enrolled in Accounting and Financial Management (AFM) and Computer and Financial Management (CFM) satisfy the Communication Skills Requirement within their degree requirements.
4. The completion of a communication requirement, also known as an English Language Proficiency Requirement, while enrolled in another University of Waterloo faculty shall satisfy this requirement.
5. Students transferring to Arts at the University of Waterloo from other universities may request an exemption from one or both of ARTS 130 and ARTS 140 from the Arts First Director with proof of the appropriate equivalent.
6. Students are expected to complete ARTS 130 or ARTS 140 by the end of their 2A term. It is expected that one course be taken in fall term and the other in winter term. Both courses cannot be taken in the same term. Failure to complete these courses by the end of 3A term will result in a hold placed on the student’s account, preventing self-enrolment in courses for the following term.
7. ARTS 130 and ARTS 140 do not fulfil any of the Bachelor of Arts Breadth Requirements.
8. Students enrolled in a Faculty of Arts plan prior to the September 2018 Calendar should consult the English Language Proficiency Requirement as outlined in the calendar of their plan year.
