Residence Requirement and In-Faculty Courses While allowing students to take a certain number of courses at other universities and in other Faculties of York University, in order to meet the residence requirement, the Faculty of Arts requires that students complete a portion of their courses as follows:
In addition, any departmental/divisional requirements for the major/minor must be satisfied. Note: Courses taken to satisfy (b) will also satisfy (a). In some cases, satisfying (b) will automatically satisfy (a). In-Faculty courses are defined as those with an "AS" prefix. Coregistration in the Faculty of Education: Students enrolled in the Faculty of Arts may apply for admission to the Pre-Service Program of the Faculty of Education. If they are accepted, they may coregister in the Faculty of Education and upon successful completion of the separate degree requirements of both Faculties will be awarded two degrees: Honours bachelor of arts (BA) and a bachelor of education (BEd) or bachelor of arts (BA) and bachelor of education (BEd). Although the arts and education courses are taken concurrently, they are counted separately by each Faculty. Grade point averages for courses in the two Faculties are also calculated separately. Thus, the 30 credits required for the BEd are independent of the 120 credits required for the Honours BA, or the 90 credits required for the BA. Therefore, a student completing the requirements for both degrees would complete a total of 150 credits for the Honours BA/BEd or 120 credits for the BA/BEd. Credit for Education Courses: Faculty of Arts students who are coregistered in the Faculty of Education may count education courses taken beyond the requirements for the BEd for credit towards the Honours BA or BA as out-of-Faculty courses. Faculty of Arts students who are not coregistered in the Faculty of Education may receive arts degree credit for non-practicum courses in accordance with the Faculty of Arts regulations on residence requirement/in-Faculty courses. Honours Programs Jointly with the Faculty of Environmental Studies: Students in the Faculty of Arts may pursue an Honours Double Major or Honours Minor program with the Faculty of Environmental Studies, subject to the following regulations:

Letters of Permission Letters of permission allow Faculty of Arts students to receive credit at York for courses taken at other universities. In order to receive credit for such courses, a letter of permission must be obtained prior to enrolling. Application forms for letters of permission are available at the Office of the Registrar or from the Web site www.registrar.yorku.ca. Courses which students propose to take on a letter of permission must be acceptable to the Faculty of Arts teaching unit best able to judge their academic merit. The Faculty is under no obligation to accept courses taken without its permission. Students must be in good academic standing to be eligible for a letter of permission; students under academic warning, debarment warning, or academic probation are not eligible. In order to receive credit for courses taken on a letter of permission, students must arrange for the host institution to submit an official transcript to the Office of the Registrar. A minimum grade of C as understood in the Faculty of Arts is required for credit to be granted. Grades earned in courses taken at other postsecondary institutions are not part of the student's York transcript and are not incorporated into the student's grade point average in the Faculty of Arts. Several formal programs exist for students to pursue study at universities in other countries. Where formal programs do not exist, and academic and personal circumstances warrant, individual arrangements may be made. For further information contact York International.

Students interested in arranging such courses should inquire at the relevant department/division. Atkinson offers courses which may be taken for degree and major credit by Faculty of Arts students. Individual programs may place restrictions on the number and nature of summer courses taken for program credit. Students are responsible for ensuring that any summer courses taken conform to the Faculty of Arts regulations on residence requirement/in-Faculty courses; and that they fulfill major, minor and Faculty-wide requirements; and do not violate regulations relating to prerequisites, corequisites, and equivalent and excluded courses.
