For example, BUSI 1800 will have sections reserved for business students and other sections open to students in non- Business programs. As a B.Acc student you must register in a section reserved for Business students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When registering for courses with tutorial sections, be sure to register in both a lecture section, and a corresponding tutorial section. Typically, a lecture section will have a letter listed next to it (i.e., BUSI 1800 A), while a corresponding tutorial section will have both a letter, and a number next to it (i.e., BUSI 1800 A01) \u2013 you must register in both!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"bacc-first-year-course-selection\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">BAcc First Year Course Selection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>1.
