Special Note on Business Certificates:
Students who have no previous business background are required to take the introductory business course: Principles of Business Management (BUS101). This will ensure that students are provided with a broad understanding of all major aspects of business. It is recommended that business certificate earners take BUS101 during the early phase of their certificate track. Please note that the course is also open to those who already have a business background but wish to deepen their understanding of business studies further. Those who wish to substitute another course for BUS101 must meet the following criteria:
- have at least 3 years of working experience in an administrative or management function; or
- have an educational background in a business field.
Please submit the Certificate Program Enrollment Form below if you wish to substitute another course for BUS101.
Exemption requests for BUS101 will be accepted until November 15, 2016. After this date, only substitution requests for BUS101 will be accepted.
Note: Courses with the same course number suffixed with a dash and semester/course code are identical. (E.g. REI102-FA and REI102-SP, and IBP101 and IBP101-S are identical.) More than one of these courses may not be used toward a certificate.
