Haskayne undergraduate students must take their core courses at the University of Calgary. Students can take two senior commerce and/or non-commerce options, and/or a maximum of 2 concentration courses (not ACCT/PLMA). They are required to maintain full time status while on exchange.

Students may view the list of prerequisites for each course online via Undergraduate Student Information. Other relevant information such as the student handbook, academic calendar, class schedule, and exam timetable are also provided in this website.

The course catalogue for a selected semester will only be available six to eight weeks before the semester start. The catalogue will then be updated periodically until the start of the semester.

A list of courses open to exchange students will be sent via email 6-8 weeks before the start of the semester. Students may take courses offered in any of the schools at the undergraduate level (limited to course codes that are between 0xx and 4xx), except Business Study Mission courses which are offered by the Lee Kong Chian School of Business. Should any courses not initially open for exchange students have seats available after the semester starts, registration will be opened for exchange students. Exchange students should also note that certain elective courses have prerequisites for enrolment.

The academic year is divided into 3 terms. All full-credit courses at SMU last for an entire term, while half-credit courses are held over a period of half a term (approximately 6 weeks).

•  Fall Term/Term 1 = late August to early December
•  Spring Term/Term 2 = early January to late April
•  Summer Term/Term 3A & 3B = Late April to Mid July
