Students should familiarize themselves with the following terms, as described in the Glossary of Terms, to better understand the double-counting rules:
- Academic Plan
- Academic Program
- Credential
- Major
- Minor
- Option
- Joint degree
- Concurrent degree
Academic plans are subject to double counting. When completing more than one credential, students should consult their academic advisor to ensure that a course satisfies a maximum of two credentials. A course cannot be counted towards three credentials.
Some minors and options have additional restrictions; consult the plan description for details. Students transferring into Science need to consider transfers rules. Plans within the School of Pharmacy and the School of Optometry and Vision Science may deviate from the regulations outlined above.
