RE Calendar Change M ath 252
DATE 21 November 2011
Please find enclosed a course change form for Math 252 Vector Calculus.
Math 252 and its prerequisite change was approved during the February 2011 meeting of
Senate Committee on Undergraduate Studies. However, this request was submitted to
request inclusion of Math 232 or 240 as corequisite, and in error noted removal of Math 232
or
240 as prerequisite. Deletion of prerequisite status precludes students from being able
to register for Math 252 ifthey have completed Math 232 or 240 preceding the semester of
enrolment.
Thank you for your assistance and consideration to quickly rectify this situation, given our
offering of Math 252 during Spring 2012 semester.
Please contact myself or Ms. Dale Yamaura, Manager, Academic and Administrative
Services (v: 2-3799; e: math_manager@sfu.ca) as required.
