NOTES:

(1) The courses with asterisks are accepted by the Canadian Council of Human Resources Associations towards the designation as a Certified Human Resources Professional (CHRP). The HRM Advisor will continue to monitor the CHRP requirements and keep students informed of changes via the HRM website.

(2) Check the UG Calendar for the prerequisites for the above courses.

(3) The HRM Plan imposes no restrictions regarding the double counting of required courses between an HRM plan and your other academic plans (e.g., major, minor, option). However, other academic plans may have limits on the number of courses that can be double counted (e.g., Arts and Business plans) which could impact on the HRM plan that you choose to enrol in and/or your course selections for the HRM plan. Please consult with all of your academic advisors regarding double counting policies.

Note, however, that "triple counting" is not allowed under any circumstances. This means that a single course cannot be used to satisfy a course requirement in more than 2 academic plans (e.g., Psych 338 can't be used for the Psych Major, HRM Minor, and an academic plan in Speech Communication).

(4) Students in Academic Plans in Management Studies are precluded from taking HRM plans.

(5) At least four of the seven term courses for the Option must be UW courses and must be included in the UW average calculations.

(6) No exceptions to the above requirements will be made, unless documentation showing the approval of the current or former director is documented in the HRM Office.

(7) Psych 439 (Negotiation in the Workplace) will also be accepted as an elective for the HRM Option.
