Stat 241 has been cross-listed with Stat 251. In 2018 we eliminated Stat 241, and all students can now register in Stat 251.
You must go to the lab in which you are registered. Marks are assigned in accordance with registration, and you will not receive grades for your labs if you do not attend the section in which you are registered.
You should be diligent and keep trying to register in a lab that fits your schedule as spaces open up. The department will ensure that there are enough lab seats available for the number of students registered in the course. However, we cannot guarantee that seats will fit your preferred time or registration schedule, and we cannot overload labs due to space restrictions. You may need to change your registration in other courses to get access to a lag/tutorial where there are available seats.
Yes you can, provided you have the relevant background. You’ll need to contact the course instructor and get permission to register. Be prepared to explain to them why you think you have the background to succeed in the course. Then you’ll need to fill out an Enrolment Form and have it signed by all necessary parties before submitting it to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies.
Yes, as long as you have fulfilled the prerequisite background. If you took the prerequisites at another university, you will likely need assistance with registration. Please contact gradinfo@stat.ubc.ca, and provide a course outline or link to demonstrate how you have fulfilled the prerequisites.
Unfortunately, no. Econ 326 and 328 are credit excluded with Stat 306, but these courses are not equivalent. There is a great deal of material covered in Stat 306 that is not found in Econ 326 that is not foundin either Econ 326 or 328, and that material is crucial for success in Stat 406. Students wishing to take Stat 406 at some point will need to plan ahead and take Stat 306. Combined Stat/Econ majors should note that they may take Stat 306 rather than Econ 326.
Prerequisites for our courses are firm, and we generally do not allow students to register in a course if they do not have the prerequisite. Historically, students who do not have prerequisites have done poorly in our courses. Students should plan ahead and make sure they take the proper prerequisites for any courses they will want to take.
