I don't know why you keep posting because we have / I have answered your question repeatedly. You are confused and maybe should go see an advisor if none of this has made sense to you.
There is no limit in the courses you want to take, we have repeatedly said if you take more than 120 credits they won't count towards your degree-- that is the only caveat.
I have also said that they won't stop you from taking extra courses. You can take as many bloody courses as you want, why would they stop you? It's extra money for them.
There is a lot of relevance to me posting your major's requirements. I don't know why you're looking at the bachelor of arts requirement, because that page has no relevance to any practical use, its general for a reason, for prospective students to look at. You should be looking at whatever major you want.
Your tone is very rude for someone asking for help, for all the time I went out to post.

I don't know why you keep posting because we have / I have answered your question repeatedly.
From all your posts, you seem to be answering questions that I did not ask.
Some of the other posters, however, have answered my question clearly.

This is obvious. Of course SFU would not prevent me from taking more courses than I need, my question was is there a point until the courses don't count for my degree/CGPA? My question was NOT, "is there a limit to how much courses you can take?" as in they stop letting you enrol after you take X number of courses.

The Bachelor of Arts requirements ARE important. My question is more related to the Bachelor of Arts than my Humanities major. For example, what if someone took 50 credits in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and 15 in the Faculty of Arts? Then too bad, you can't get your Bachelor of Arts because you need at least 65 credits in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences. These are part of the types of limits I am talking about. For the Humanities Major you need 18 lower division credits of Humanities courses as well as 30 credits of upper division Humanities credits. That's prettry straightforward. When you keep talking about the Humanities major you seem to imply, "do those 48 credits (as well as WQB) and you're all good!" which is not the case because you have to be aware of the Bachelor of Arts Requirement.
Your tone is very rude for someone asking for help, for all the time I went out to post.
I apologize if I sounded rude, but I felt kind of annoyed when reading your posts because you seem to have the attitude of "I am right, you are wrong," and "here is an answer despite not knowing what you are really asking." I feel like I'm explaining my question more than you are answering my question. For the record, I did not try to be rude, but I may come off as sounding like it.
Anyways, I got my answer, I'm all good. Let's end this 'arguement' or whatever it is.

There is not a point until the courses don't count for your degree/CGPA. Why do you think the term GPA Booster exists? Because courses will always be counted toward your CGPA.

First, I don't think SFU has a Faculty of Arts. We only have a Faculty of Arts AND Social Science. Second, I recommend that you to just ignore the Bachelor of Arts requirement because your program requirement would pretty much fulfill 90% of the requirements. I have visited my academic advisors MANY times and they never even talked about the Bachelor of Arts requirement.
When you keep talking about the Humanities major you seem to imply, "do those 48 credits (as well as WQB) and you're all good!" which is not the case because you have to be aware of the Bachelor of Arts Requirement.
Once again, DON'T WORRY about the Bachelor of Arts requirement. Your Program/s and WQB will fulfill most, of not all, your requirements.
Summer I reccomend you go see an advisor, because your humanities major IS your BA, unless you plan on doing a general studies, in which case the general studies requirement is still different from that page. My answers were answering your question, but in an indirect way, because I was assuming you had some basic knowledge of a few things I mentioned (which I think you're confused about).
This bachelor of arts requirement you keep referring to has 0 relevance. Your major's requirements fulfill your Bachelor of Arts in '______'. Credits in any faculty count towards your BA as long as they fulfill your Majors requirements, and are credit courses. I'm getting a BA in criminology, but I've taken classes in the faculty of science that fulfill my requirements as well
To further what student said, your major is not actually 90% but 100% of your BA.
If you declare a major in Humanities, you're getting a Bachelor of Arts in Humanities.
So if you fulfill the requirements for the Humanities major, you'll get a Bachelor of Arts in Humanities. It's as simple as that. You know degrees fall under either Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science (Except for business and I think engineers get a Bachelor of Applied Science) right?
Humanities is in the Faculty of Arts and Social Science. If you complete your Humanities degree, you will received a Bachelor of Arts in Humanities. A BA is a category. And within each category, there are specific majors associated with that category.
You can get a BA in CS, the only difference is that it requires less credits so it's easier. But potential employers will laugh at your BA in CS so getting a BA in CS is as good as wasting 4 years since no one will take you seriously. Might as well spend the extra term or two and get the BS.
This is pretty straightforward, what is so hard to understand? Is it because of Arts? I'm not sure how you even got in to the school if you don't know the difference.
My question never had anything to do with the differences between degrees, majors, whatever, etc., etc..
What's hard to understand is why everyone is talking about it when my question is quite unrelated.
My question can apply for any Bachelor's, really, since I'm not specifying anything here. I'm asking about the limits to taking lower level courses before they no longer count towards your degree or CGPA (and in the end, we all figured out that out! Yay us! Let's stop with the arguement!)
As you should all be able to figure out by now, I hate arguing about stupid things that aren't worth arguing about.
