Communication Requirement |
|
|
All Faculty of Science students entering degree programs must satisfy the Communication Requirement (formerly, the English Language Proficiency Requirement). Successful completion of this requirement is mandatory for graduation.
Students are required to demonstrate communication skills throughout their degree program. The mandatory Communication Requirement will help prepare Science students for successful academic and professional communication.
The Faculty of Science has developed a communication-intensive course that is incorporated into each BSc program as a degree requirement. Successful completion of SCCOM 100 fulfils the Communication Requirement.
