Equivalent courses must have the same course number, learning outcomes and curriculum, abbreviated title, title, credit hours, grade type, prerequisites, and corequisites. At the undergraduate level, courses must also achieve the same skills. More information is available in the Course Equivalencies policy. Equivalent courses are interchangeable for prerequisites, corequisites, degree requirements, and Colonnade requirements.
Creating an equivalency
Creating an equivalency requires a full review. The department should contact the Office of the Registrar to ensure the course number is available. If an equivalency is being created for a course approved for Colonnade, the course must be routed through the Colonnade Committee for approval.
Breaking an Equivalency
Breaking an equivalency requires a full review. Since the two courses are the same, one of the two courses must be deleted. The course that wishes to break the equivalency should submit a new course proposal.
