Substitute Courses

Students completing two modules that contain "common courses" must adhere to the Common Course Policy.  If more than 1.0 common course exists, any additional common course must be replaced by a "substitute course". 

Select the module(s) below to see a list of pre-approved substitute courses that can replace additional common courses for modules offered by that department. Note that:

  • No double dipping: a course cannot be used as a modular course and again as a substitute course

  • a full course, for instance Physiology 2130 or Phys Pharm 2000, can be mentally split into two halp courses.
See the appropriate Double Major worksheet on the Common Course Policy page.
