AFM101 Core Concepts of Accounting Information

While a mandatory course in the many programs offered by University of Waterloo, AFM101 does not receive Institute credit hours.

Co-op Option

Only the CA Co-op Option in the BAFM, BMath, and BSc Degree Programs about which credit-hour information is provided below qualifies as a Co-op Work Term under Regulation I.

Transfer Credits and Course Mixes Between Universities

Please be aware that, although a recognized university may have granted you a transfer credit or an exemption for a course taken at a post-secondary institution, the course may not fulfill the Institute’s requirements. The Institute will assess ALL transfer credits and exemptions!

It is also essential that students check with the Institute prior to mixing courses between different post-secondary institutions to avoid course content overlap and denial of Institute credits.
