Communication Courses

Diploma, advanced diploma, and some certificate programs require you to take COM101 or COM111 — Communicating Across Contexts. Admission criteria will be used to determine if you will take COM101 or COM111. Both are one-semester credit course. COM101 is offered three hours per week, and COM111 is offered six hours per week.

In these courses, you will develop the skills to take something you learned in one communication context and apply that knowledge successfully to another context, setting or task. You will be challenged to think deeply about the writing processes and adopt specific vocabulary for different situations. You will also learn to draw conclusions on existing resources and seek new resources through research and utilize the findings in your communications. 

You will be able to add the course you require through the online Student Home when you are building your timetable. If you have questions about your English level when English has been added to your timetable, please go to your first scheduled class.

Please note: COM101 and COM111 are not general education courses.

English and Liberal Studies courses will be delivered in one of the following formats:

  • In-person (P) — This course is fully in person and requires you to come to campus. 
  • Hybrid (H) — Some parts of this course are in person and other parts are online. You will need to come to campus to complete in-person requirements. Note: Hybrid courses require a minimum of 50 per cent in-person learning.
