ACADEMIC INFORMATION

Can I mix courses from different programmes or in different languages?
It is not possible to mix programmes or years of study due to timetable clashes. Students will therefore have to select only one programme in one language.

No, students are required to choose courses from only one specialisation (due to timetable clashes)

I’m an exchange student. How many credits do I need to take?
There is no minimum number of credits to take and no maximum number either. It is your responsibility to check with your home university which courses are compulsory for you and how many credits you need.

I am a double-degree students can I select some courses and remove some others ?

Can I mix courses from different programmes or in different languages?
When you are enrolled in a programme, you need to choose the courses exclusively from this programme.
For instance, if you are enrolled in Master in Management Level 2, you can’t choose courses from Introduction Year to Business and Management.
Regarding the language, you can’t select some courses in French and others in English. Either all of your courses are in English, or they are all in French.

Is it really impossible to choose 2 programmes?
It is not possible to mix programmes or years of study due to timetable clashes. Students will therefore have to select only one programme.

When choosing one specialisation (either in the Master in Management Level 2 for the Fall semester or in the 3rd year Bachelor Marketing and Business for the Spring semester), could I add a course from another specialisation?
No, students are required to choose courses from only one specialisation (due to timetable clashes).

Online registration process. I think some courses are missing on the online registration process, what should I do?
If you are unable to select a course that means there are no seats left.

I tried to add a new subject but all of the other courses disappeared, what should I do?
If you want to add or drop a course, you are required to register all of your courses again because the system doesn’t keep your previous registration.

I’m not sure my choices have been registered, what should I do?
You can log on to the campaign again and then check if your registration is correct. If not, you will have to do it again.

I’m an exchange student. How many credits do I need to take?
There is no minimum number of credits to take and no maximum number either. In fact, it is your responsibility to check with your home university which courses are compulsory for you and how many credits you need.
