As BAS students, we are lucky. Located in the McKinnion building, we have our own secluded lounge space. The BAS lounge is a cozy and quiet spot on campus for students to drop in and have a place to study. The lounge is open during specific drop-in hours, hosted by our amazing BAS mentors. The mentor on duty can answer many questions about double counting between your specializations, recommend classes based on their experiences, and offer a helping hand with all things BAS.
Down below are this month's BAS lounge hours:
The BASSA lounge can be tricky to find. So, instead of going on a hunt through the maze that is the McKinnion building, here is a video, made by our Vice President of Events Kasia, to help you find your way!
Common questions asked during drop-in hours:
I'm not sure where to find my program/specialization requirements. Where can I look?
Take a look at the academic calendar! This is useful as provides a clear layout of what you need to graduate.

WebAdvisor is also another tool that can help you plan and tell you what fits in your program and what does not.
What are the rules for double counting?
- No more than 3.00 credits can be double counted (ex. six 0.5 credit courses)
- Only 1.00 credit can be double counted across your minors
- Only 1.00 credit can be double counted between your science core and science specialization
- Only 1.00 credit can be double counted between your art core and art specialization.
- NOTHING can be triple counted (i.e., no triple counting between a core and two minors)
I need to declare/change my minors. How do I do that?
