Family of Courses Examples

A family of courses can be lecture, lecture-lab, or lab courses that are loaded and may be repeatable within the family if they are lab courses. A family of courses does not have to be taken in any specific order, and they don't demonstrate a higher level of achievement with each course level. Courses that are considered within a "family" would include courses such as MUSI 1A, 1B, and 1C. The standard repeatability statement will read: "Any combination of (list family of courses) may be taken up to (at a maximum) 6 times for credit, not to exceed 18 units for the family of courses".
