Arts OASIS (Office of Advising and Student Information Services)


The Arts OASIS provides Arts students with general academic information and advice about issues such as faculty and degree requirements, registration issues, inter-faculty transfer, study away, academic standing, and graduation. In addition to advising students about such issues, either by appointment or on a daily drop-in basis, the Arts OASIS Faculty advisers offer a number of information sessions every term, such as degree planning workshops, study away workshops, and freshman information sessions.

 

Electives taken outside of Faculty of Arts/Faculty of Science


Selected courses in other faculties (e.g., Management, Education, Engineering, etc.) may also be chosen if they are consistent with the regulations of the student's home faculty (either Arts or Science). For further information, and to ensure that you will receive credit for an elective course outside of the Faculty of Arts or Science, please consult the Student Affairs Office and select the link for your faculty (Arts or Science).
