DEVS_Eligible and DEVS_Language Courses

DEVS_Eligible Courses

Students may take approved DEVS_Eligible courses in other departments and these courses can be used as option courses towards their DEVS degree.  Courses are selected according to their geographic, thematic, and disciplinary relevance to the field of global development studies.

Please note that registration into DEVS eligible courses in other departments depends on students having met the appropriate requirements or permission of that department. Due to enrollment pressure from their own students, many departments often reserve their courses for students in their own plan until after all the enrollment appointment times are over. DEVS students may have to wait until 'open enrollment' to get access to register in these courses.

Remember that course registration is first come - first served. Log in to SOLUS promptly on the correct date and TIME of your enrollment appointment. At your appointment time be sure to have reliable internet access, preferably on a computer and not on a phone. Have your courses picked out ahead of time, as well as a 'plan B' in case you do not get into your first choices.

The DEVS department is actively working to maximize access to a wide range of DEVS eligible courses, and working with cognate departments to find creative options for our students.  We welcome student feedback. If you would like to request that a course from another department at ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ be considered as a DEVS eligible, please email the course description to the Academic Programs Assistant.

For more detailed course information please visit the Faculty of Arts and Science website. Please note that course information listed in the Faculty of Arts and Science Academic Calendar supersedes information listed within the DEVS website.
