Note: Sample course plans are designed as a supplementary course planning tool. The sample course plans provided are examples only and do not reflect all of the course planning options available to students.
Always use the University Handbook as your primary course planning tool.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT WORKLOAD
These sample course plans presume full-time study of 50 points each semester. Local students may undertake a reduced load or study part-time (25 points or less per semester). This normally increases course duration.
Students requiring help with planning their reduced study load may wish to seek course advice.
