What are course outlines?
A course outline is a summary document of essential course information, which includes learning outcomes and evaluations in a standardized format. This document is a primary resource for students to identify assignments, important dates and other supporting information.
What are course outlines used for?
Credit transfer: course outlines are used to see if a course you took may be equivalent in learning outcomes, course content, labs, etc. to transfer to or from another postsecondary institution.
PLAR: course outlines are also used to see if learning you have acquired outside of school, through experiential and/or non-formal learning, may be equivalent to a Fanshawe course for the purpose of obtaining academic credit.
