Note: Students wishing to enroll in a reading course (INDG 3900Y, 3901H, 3902H, 4900Y, 4901H, 4902H), community-based practicum (INDG 3860Y, 3861H, 3862H, 4860Y, 4861H, 4862H), or double credit thesis (INDG 4020D) must obtain departmental approval in the term prior to the course offering. The course must be identified with one of the above categories in order to support the degree requirements. Students may count up to 2.0 credits from INDG practicum courses toward their Indigenous Studies degree requirements. There is overlap between categories since individual courses address topic areas which are relevant to more than one category. If you wish to vary a course category for your degree requirements you may make an appointment with the department to present your case.
