Fall 2023 First Year Registration

A complete First year consists of two academic core courses, two studio core courses, Creative Processes or Indigenous Presence, and a studio elective – for a total of 30 credits. These are the following courses you’ll need to enroll in for the Fall term on June 20.

• HUMN 100 Academic Core I (6 credits)

• FNDT 108 Creative Process (3 credits) or FNDT 115 Indigenous Presence (3 credits)

• FNDT 165 Core Interdisciplinary Studio (6 credits)

*3-credits = 3 hours per week of instruction; 6-credits = 6 hours per week of instruction.

Since HUMN 100 takes place on multiple days in the week, we recommend that you use this course as your Fall registration starting point, and schedule FNDT 165 and FNDT 108 or FNDT 115 around it.

The Foundation Forums are discussions and lectures that feature artists and designers in our community, as well as addressing important aspects of curriculum at ECU. Forums will happen intermittently throughout the year in the Reliance Theatre.

During this series, you’ll hear from speakers, guest artists and designers discussing their creative practice to get you thinking about your creative process and inspire you. It will also cover Spring registration tips and procedures. More information about the forums will be made available throughout the semester.

Advance registration is not required for the forums.

Some students may be required to take Intensive sections of HUMN 100 + HUMN 101, which include an additional Academic Foundation seminar to offer you extra support. If you are required to take an Intensive section, we will contact you at your Emily Carr email by mid-June.

You are required to enroll in Intensive Humanities, unless you meet the following criteria:

• You have completed four years of full-time study in English, and have completed a senior level English Literature course with a minimum percentage grade of 80; or Grade Point Average 3.33; or a letter grade B+; or International Baccalaureate grade 4 (Standard or Higher Level); or Advanced Placement grade of 3; or GSE/A-Level grade of B. An example of a 'senior English Literature course' is British Columbia's English 12.

Or you have studied in English and graduated from a recognized post-secondary diploma or degree program

We will provide you with information through workshops, the Foundation Forum, and emails on course selection and the registration process in October. You can then register for the following courses on November 21:

• HUMN 101 Academic Core II (6 credits)

• Foundation Studio Elective (3 credits)

• FNDT 001 Foundation Forum (automatic registration)

One Core Studio course (6 credits). Choose only one of the following

• FNDT 160 Core Media Studio (6 credits)

• FNDT 161 Core Design Studio (6 credits)

• FNDT 164 Core Visual Arts (6 credits)

You do not need to take a certain course to gain admission to your chosen major. Second-year majors have already been determined through the Direct Entry admission process.

If you have completed courses at another recognized college or university, you will be evaluated for transfer credit. Approved transfer credit will be entered in your program evaluation on MyEC after we have received your final official transcripts. If you have previously taken courses at Emily Carr, these will also be displayed in your program evaluation. Contact Academic Advising if you have any questions about transfer credits and prior studies.

If you’ve completed the prerequisites for second year courses, you may be able to register in 200-level courses while still in First year. However, you will have to speak with an Academic Advisor in order to proceed.
