2024-25 semester courses for Undergraduate and Graduate Students
Please see below for an outline of the courses that will be offered in the Fall 2025 and Winter 2026 semester. By sharing this information ahead of your scheduled registration date and time, we hope to assist you in organizing and selecting your required courses.
The number of students allotted to these courses will be higher than usual, however, we recommand to prepare and plan to register for courses during your registration time, in order to get the classes you prefer.
We encourage you to check UwinSite frequently for your registration date and time, choose your courses, and be ready to register at that time.
There is some good news: all SACR courses will be limited to SaC program students only, until the week before school starts in September. However, this does not guarantee you a seat if you do not register on time.
The courses below, may be subject to change based on any changes with staffing the course.
We wish you all much success in the upcoming semesters.
