Elective Courses: Courses that do not count toward the fulfillment of the requirements of a major, minor, etc. They
are often, but need not be, selected from outside a student’s program of study. Some restrictions may apply, but
students have the most choice in selecting elective courses. Some faculties also permit students to take elective
courses using the satisfactory/unsatisfactory option. Consult your faculty regulations concerning elective courses.
