Undergraduate Academic Calendar

https://www.trentu.ca/registrar/academic-calendar/undergraduate-calendar

Please note that students must normally satisfy the Program Requirements in effect at the time of their declaration of major to the program. As changes are made to program requirements, students may choose to complete their studies under the program requirements of any subsequent Academic Calendar provided they were enrolled in the program during that academic year and meet these requirements in their entirety. Joint-majors must use the same calendar year for both major programs. This regulation is not applicable to students enrolled in the Bachelor of Science in Nursing and Bachelor of Education programs. If you are following a different Academic Calendar, Past Academic Calendars are available on the Office of the Registrar's Website.

We recommend that all students become familiar with the following sections of the Undergraduate Academic Calendar:

  • Important dates and deadlines for the academic year are listed at the front of the calendar
  • Academic Information & Regulations
  • University Degree Requirements
  • Major/Minor Requirements, Specializations (found under the Program/Major sections), Course Descriptions and Prerequisites (which are listed in the Course Descriptions)
  • Special Programs and Opportunities
    • Trent/Swansea dual degree
    • Options
    • International Education Opportunities, including Study Abroad
    • Community-based education programs
    • Joint programs with other institutions
    • Degree Completion Programs
    • Diploma programs
    • Postgraduate Certificates
    • Research Opportunities
    • Policies and Administration Section
