• Drama 223 is a three-credit, half course normally offered in the Fall Term. Drama 225 is also a three-credit, half course but it runs over the entire year and students must register in both “A” and “B” parts.

This will still maintain full-time status, however, students are advised to contact a program advisor in the Program Information Centre (PIC) for information concerning their registration.
