• Western University main portal https://www.uwo.ca/

  The official portal identifies the institution as Western University and gives the address as 1151 Richmond Street, London, Ontario, Canada, N6A 3K7.

  Model elements: this source is used for identity and location.

• Graduation Requirements for Bachelor Degrees https://westerncalendar.uwo.ca/PolicyPages.cfm?PolicyCategoryID=4&command=showCategory&SelectedCalendar=Live&ArchiveID=

  The Academic Calendar describes Honours Bachelor Degrees Four-Year, Bachelor Degrees Four-Year and Bachelor Degrees Three-Year.

  The Honours Bachelor Degree must include at least an Honours Specialization or Double Major modules; the Bachelor Degree Four-Year uses a Specialization or Major, and the Bachelor Degree Three-Year uses a Major or Double Minors.

  The calendar sets 20.0 courses for four-year degrees and 15.0 courses for the three-year degree.

  Model elements: this source sets the 3 to 4 year duration range and supports programChoice 4 because double major is a regular degree structure.

• The Degree Structure https://westerncalendar.uwo.ca/PolicyPages.cfm?PolicyCategoryID=4&command=showCategory&SelectedCalendar=Live&ArchiveID=

  Western describes four modules after first year: Honours Specialization, Specialization, Major and Minor.

  The degree structure allows subjects from different Departments and Faculties to be combined, but only within approved structures: combinations outside the listed structures have not been approved and may not be taken.

  Approved module combinations include two Major modules in the Honours Bachelor Degree and in the Bachelor Degree Four-Year.

  Model elements: this keeps the classification at programChoice 4. There is double major, but not an open programme where students assemble a degree outside approved combinations.

• Exchange Program https://international.uwo.ca/learning/go_abroad/exchange.html

  Western International Learning states that exchange courses are transferred back to the Western degree through the Course Approval process with academic departments and Academic Advisors.

  The same page says exchange programmes are generally available to undergraduate students at the main campus and Affiliates, and that a Course Approval Form is completed before departure.

  Strict cross-registration review: this source does not prove ordinary selection of individual external courses that can be credited into the degree record. It remains mobility or transfer context, while courseChoice is lowered to 2 based on verified distribution groups, minor-like blocks, general education or structured elective requirements.

• Residency Requirements and Exchange https://westerncalendar.uwo.ca/PolicyPages.cfm?PolicyCategoryID=4&command=showCategory&SelectedCalendar=Live&ArchiveID=

  The calendar allows up to 5.0 courses at another university on a Letter of Permission or on Exchange for three-year and four-year Bachelor degrees.

  For module requirements, the calendar separately says Western International Exchange Program courses are deemed Western University courses, but may account for fewer than half of an Honours Specialization, Specialization or Major module.

  Strict cross-registration review: this source does not prove ordinary selection of individual external courses that can be credited into the degree record. It remains mobility or transfer context, while courseChoice is lowered to 2 based on verified distribution groups, minor-like blocks, general education or structured elective requirements.
