Departments sometimes allow you to take courses outside your department program that may be applied as a part of the required units to satisfy the graduation requirements of your program. Please refer to “COURSE REGISTRATION AND OTHER PROCEDURES” on the above link.
Do I have to obtain an agreement about my application from a GSFS professor prior to my application?
No, but we strongly suggest you contact the GSFS researcher whom you would like to be supervised under to discuss your research plan and obtain an official agreement for application.
