BCOM Course Planning

Explore course planning options for current and recently admitted Bachelor of Management students interested in transferring to the Bachelor of Commerce program.
*The Bachelor of Commerce program has an expected approval date of May 2025*

As the Faculty works to have the Academic Progress Report (APR) in Workday Student updated, students are encouraged to use the BCom Planning Worksheet to track their progress.

This is a guideline and interim planning tool and should not be used independently to confirm a student has met program or graduation requirements. Students need to ensure they are aware of all degree requirements, and should consult with an Academic and Career Advisor. Students should use the Academic Progress Report (APR) as soon as it is available for the BCOM program in Workday.

It’s important to note that the worksheet does not replace the advice of an Academic and Career Advisor and the Faculty of Management.

How to Use the Worksheet

  1. Download the Excel file below and review the “BCom Program Course Planning Worksheet
  2. You will see the required COMM_O courses along with the MGMT_O equivalent below the “Required Courses” column of the worksheet. You can also type in any specific elective courses you took or are taking in the “Elective Courses” sections of the worksheet. Enable Editing to ensure you are able to use the form.
  3. In the “In Progress (CIP – Currently in Progress)” column, insert the number of credits for each course you are currently registered in.
  4. The total number of “Completed”, “Applied (CIP)” and “Missing” credits will automatically calculate at the bottom of the page as you begin to fill out the worksheet.

This will calculate the minimum number of credits required for the BCom degree program under “Minimum.” All completed and currently in progress (CIP) credits will be displayed under “Applied (CIP)” and will subtract from the total to show the number of “Missing” credits

  1. You can find more information about the requirements for the proposed concentrations and minors for the Bachelor of Commerce program in the associated worksheets.

Save a copy of the worksheet and continue to update it as you make any changes to your registration. Students are strongly encouraged to use a completed copy of their worksheet and meet with an Academic and Career Advisor or the Faculty of Management.
