Program requirements of the first “+1”

Students must complete 18 credits of LU courses in the fall and winter sessions (September 2013 to April 2014).

Students are also required to enroll in the non-credit Workplace Communication Skills in Canada course (COMM 0513) which runs on Friday’s beginning in October and ends mid-April each academic year.

Students, who fail a course in the first semester, must replace that course with another option in the winter session or through the online degree program options.

Students should enroll in the following courses:

COMM-1006 - Foundations of the Management of Organizations I

COMM-1007 - Foundations of the Management of Organizations II

Students who require the CGA TX1 course:

COMM-4116 - Personal Taxation - an Accounting Perspective

COMM-4117 - Corporation Taxation - An Accounting Perspective

Students who achieve a total average of 65% for both COMM 4116 and COMM 4117 will receive advanced standing for the CGA TX1 course. LU will forward a copy of the transcript to the TPEI office in Beijing.

Students who require the CGA AU2 course:
