Notes

Students interested in entering an honours program should consult their academic advisor or undergraduate program director. Normally, students may apply for this change following the completion of at least 24 Concordia University credits. These credits should include program-related courses.
Students must meet the University regulations concerning the honours degree.
Students are responsible for satisfying their particular degree requirements.
