On-Campus Course Offerings

The following course offerings are for on-campus students only, which includes:

• Regular track year 1
• Regular track year 2
• Advanced standing program
• International social work diploma

Regular Track Year 1

For Fall 2021 we are planning to offer some in-person, on-campus sections. Each course is noted as:

• Remote - classes via zoom during the stated class times.
• In-Person - in class on campus at 120 Duke St, Kitchener during the stated class times.

Should health guidelines not allow us to gather in person, the in-person sections will change to remote.

We are currently planning that all Winter 2022 and Spring 2022 classes to be in-person. Again, should health guidelines not allow for in-person learning, we will again switch these courses to remote learning.

Ensure you register in one section of each SK501, SK504, SK507, SK522 and SK681.

Ensure you enrol in one section of SK536, SK545, SK541 as well as one foundational elective from SK509, SK552 and SK592. Note: students who planning to apply to the ISWD program or have been selected for that program will need to register in SK592.

*SK536 is taken over winter and spring terms. If you enrol in section @1 in the winter term, you must also enrol in section @1 for the spring term. The same logic applies for sections @2, @3 and @4.

Field placement is SK541, section B. If you are in your foundational field placement during the term, you must be registered in a section of SK541.

Ensure you enrol in the same section of SK536 as you did in Winter. *If you enrol in section @1 of SK536 in the winter term, you must also enrol in section @1 for the spring term. The same logic applies for sections @2, @3 and @4.

Field placement is SK541, section C. If you are continuing in your foundational field placement beyond May 1, you must be registered in SK541 for the spring term.
