Program Model Route
The courses required for completion of your program are outlined in your model route. Every program has a set of courses that you are required to successfully complete in order to graduate from the program. Your model route shows the sequence of courses by semester that you are required to take, including experiential learning (e.g., work terms and field placements). Your model route also shows any pre-requisites and co-requisites. You will be expected to complete the courses and other requirements outlined in the model route that was in effect when you began your program unless there are program changes (program changes will be communicated to you). ***You must PASS all of the courses successfully in semester 1 before you can move on the semester 2***
