Specific degrees and their requirements
Information applicable to all or most degrees
Supplementary information
- "In most cases, but not all . . " but change the "where to look bit" to click on the course (GUS,46)
- Disclaimer that the calendar is the authoritative source of degree and major requirements
- If in doubt seek advice.
Tool tips
- 100-level: These are basic level courses, usually studied in your first year
- 200-level: These are intermediate level courses, usually studied in your second
- 300-level: These are advanced courses, usually studied in your third and subsequent years
- Elective course: A course of your choice
- For the first mention of each course code on the page: Full name
Thoughts and questions
- Joe Lobotka (Unlicensed), some pages will have many subject codes visible to the user. Rather than having a tool tip on each one, could we have a widget that gathers up all the course code tool tip explanations and presents them as a sorted list?
- For the structured degrees I have made clear the elective requirements, but for the flexible degrees the user must work this out from the degree requirements less the requirements for their major(s). Is this delineation okay?
- Whenever a course code is listed the name will also be visible and the whole lot will be linked to the Course Finder result for that course
- Bullets notes under the numbered requirements are suggested content to supplement/surround the requirements. Some are quotes from GUS, others are the essence of the idea for Anne Nelson (Unlicensed) to write up

| 7 | Specified course(s) | Exact | Complete the following three 100-level courses:
| BA (Chinese) | Singular or multiple Will we always show all? |
| 8 | Specified course(s) | From a list | One of the following regional-based courses:

| 9 | Specified course(s) | From a range | An additional 20 points from 200 and 300-level BIOL, BMSC or BTEC courses. | BBiomedSc (Human Generitcs) | Or is this really a Points by Level and Subject? |
| 10 | Specified course(s) | ||||
| 11 | Substitution | Course substitution: SARC122 may be replaced with an elective course if you:
| BAS | Could include: A recommendation that the course be done even when it could be substituted | |
| 12 | Elective courses | Standard | An additional 30 points from elective courses. | BAS | No conditionals, as these points are only required to meet the total degree points requirement. |
| 13 | Elective courses | Conditional | An additional 30 points from elective courses.
| BBSc | Where the selection is from any subject area but at least some points count towards a rule other than the total degree points. |
| 14 | Number of majors | Satisfy the requirements for a minimum of one major subject. | BAS | Values will be one or a minimum of one | |
| 15 | Exemption | Probably the domain of transferring so out of scope for us | |||
| 16 | Other | Entry to second year | Entry to the second year is based on academic performance across all the first year courses. Historically, a B+ average has been sufficient to be selected. | BAS | Also LLB. Maybe others |
