    Workday Student: Changes to pre-requisites, co-requisites, course equivalencies, and course restrictions

    As you are aware, fall 2023 sees the first release of the new Workday Student system. In preparation for this change, Faculties are being asked to review a number of curriculum elements. These elements include pre-requisites, co-requisites, and course equivalencies.  It is anticipated that units will need to submit curriculum proposals to adjust some aspects of their courses in preparation for the 2024 Winter Session. Both Senate Curriculum Committees will be facilitating a modified approval process related to these changes.
