The purpose of experimental courses is to introduce new learning materials and innovative teaching on a trial basis before seeking permanent approval for a course. Experimental courses can be offered a maximum of three times. For more information, see the Experimental Courses policy. The permanent version of the course must be established through a regular course proposal.
