If you are a U of A student you can sign up for UofA Spring Marching Band [EDSE 401/501] on Bear Tracks. UofA Spring Marching Band is a *3 credit Education course that can fulfill an Education Elective or Open Option requirement of the BEd degree program. University of Alberta students who are not in the Faculty of Education may also take EDSE 401/501 for credit but should check with their faculty to ensure that it meets an Open Option requirement (or is extra-to-degree) in their degree program. As well as enrolling through Bear Tracks, please go to the Sign Up page on this site.
