Meeting Section

All courses have an L meeting section. If there is more than one L section listed, select the one that is offered at the time most convenient for your schedule. If a course listing also includes P and T meeting sections, you must select these in addition to an L section. Meeting sections that begin with the number 5 (e.g., L5102, P5101) begin at 5 p.m. or later. Meeting sections that begin with the number 3 have an off-campus location.
Meeting sections that begin with the number 2 are reserved for students in other faculties; Arts & Science students cannot enrol in these sections. On the SWS, meeting sections appear as: LEC = lecture, PRA = practical, TUT = tutorial.
