- The following French courses must be taken in numerical sequence: FR101, FR102, FR150, FR151, FR250, FR251, FR360, FR470. Students may not take any of these courses out of sequence, and they cannot take any two of them simultaneously.
- The following Spanish courses must be taken in numerical sequence: SP101, SP102 (or SP100*), SP201, SP250. Students may not take any of these courses out of sequence, and they cannot take any two of them simultaneously. Students are encouraged to take SP201, SP250 and SP223 as early in their program as possible, as these courses are pre-requisites for most senior-level SP courses.
- By agreement, students at WLU and U of W can take some courses at either university. Some courses are cycled from year to year. Consult the department in Year 1 to assist in scheduling the program of studies.
- Refer to the University Regulations chapter for progression and course regulations and the earlier section regarding Regulations for All Honours Programs.
