The BEd program is a full-time program. Only students admitted to the BEd will be permitted to register in 400- and 500-level Education (EDUC) courses.
Additional Courses
Since the BEd program is a full-time professional program, students are not allowed to take more than 15 units per each Fall or Winter Term, or to take courses from outside the Werklund School of Education during an Education term, without the express permission of the Associate Dean or if admitted into the Honours Program. After-Degree BEd students may wish to take additional courses during non-Education terms, and can do so with permission from the Undergraduate Programs in Education Office, provided the courses do not interfere with Education terms, and these courses will be designated as Extra-to-Degree upon graduation of the Education program. Students who have not received permission from the Associate Dean to take non-Education courses during Education terms may be de-enrolled.
Four-year pathway students may take up to 18 units in non-Education terms.
On-Campus students wishing to take Education (EDUC) courses online may take a maximum of 3 units in each of the 400-level terms, a maximum of 3 units in their first 500-level term, and 6 units in their last 500-level term, for a total of 15 maximum units online. Enrolment in online courses is space-pending, cannot be guaranteed, and may require the approval of the Associate Dean.
Community-Based students wishing to take on-campus courses may take a maximum of 3 units in each of the 400-level terms, a maximum of 3 units in their first 500-level term, and 6 units in their last 500-level term, for a total of 15 maximum units on-campus.
