CHRP designation: The courses with asterisks (*) have been approved by the Human Resources Professional Association (HRPA) towards the Certified Human Resources Professional (CHRP) designation. Details regarding the CHRP designation, including course work requirements, may be found on the HRPA website. Note that Psych 340 was approved by HRPA effective Fall 2006 (the Fall 2005 offering was not approved).
Plan Average: All of the above courses are included in the HRM average calculation regardless of whether any of these courses is in excess of the minimum required. See the Undergraduate Calendar for further details.
Double/Triple counting (Revised Fall 2012): Arts Faculty regulations require that for any combination of academic plans:
- at least 50% of the courses taken to fulfil the requirements of any plan must be unique to that plan, and
-
a
maximum
of
2.5
units
(five
courses)
may
be
counted
towards
two
plans.
Under no circumstances are students allowed to "triple-count" (i.e., count one course towards three separate plans).
