Changes to courses

2024 Changes

Previously, TERM 4 was being offered in Winter (January-April) and then again in Spring/Summer (May-Aug). This was to accommodate Coop students. Students going on their first Coop were able to choose to go out in Winter or in Spring. The Faculty is introducing changes to TERM 4 and it will affect when students go out on their first coop. Note that each Program has made specific changes to their course offerings for Spring/Summer Term 4.

Coop students:
It is recommended that students register in Term 4 classes for Winter 2024 and take their first coop in Spring/Summer 2024.
If this in not an option for you, please be aware of the following changes to the Term 4 Spring/Summer 2024 term:

Non coop students:
This change may affect your course planning if you are not following the Program Sheet and are taking less than 5 courses. We suggest you schedule an advising appointment to assist with course planning. https://www.uregina.ca/engineering/students/advising.html

Electronic Systems
ESE will offer ENEL 282 only. (ENEL 281 will not be offered)
If you are an ESE student planning on a workterm in Winter 2024, you should also plan to take ENEL 281. It will be offered face-to-face on Tues/Thur 5:30pm.

ISE program course changes - effective Spring 2019 - CHEM 140 is replaced by CHEM 105.

Students following the 2018/19 ISE program:

The change affects term 4 and Term 5 ISE program sequencing. CHEM 140 was removed from Term 5. Humanities/social science elective moved to Term 5. CHEM 105 is added to Term 4.

CHEM 105 will be offered winter 2020 and Spring 2020 time conflict free for students entering TERM 4
Senior ISE students who have not completed CHEM 140 may choose CHEM 105 or CHEM 140 to satisfy program requirements.

All ENGG Students

** Students who have already received credit for ECON 201 cannot receive credit for ECON 100 (humanities elective). Students may take ECON 100 followed by ECON 201.

** Students (except EVSE) are required to take BUS 260 before BUS 210, BUS 250, BUS 285 and BUS 302. BUS 260 is a pre-requisite for these classes for engineering students only. You will need a pre-requisite override to register for any of these classes. Please see the Engineering Office for assistance.

** BUS classes are not equivalent to ADMN classes. All engineering students must take BUS classes to complete their degree.

** STAT 160 taken after Winter 2019 will not be counted towards your degree. From Spring/Summer 2019 onwards only STAT 289 can be used in all BASC degrees.

** If you have received credit for STAT 100 and STAT 200 prior to joining Engineering OR have transfer credits from another institution it will be accepted as credit for STAT 289.

ESE, SSE and ISE students:

** Students who have already received credit for PHYS 119 cannot receive credit for PHYS 109 (Natural Science elective). Students may take PHYS 109 followed by PHYS 119 and receive credit for both.

**CHEM 100 may not be used as a Natural Science Elective.

**SSE students cannot use CS 100 as an Open Elective.
