Faculty of Science 5. Program Details 5.1 Biological Sciences 5.1.3 Programs in Biological Sciences5.1.3 Programs in Biological Sciences
Courses constituting the field of Biological Sciences:
*Certain courses with restricted enrolments are available in the first instance to those Program Honours and Majors who have met all prerequisites and whose programs require such courses. After a specific registration period for those students, other students who have met all prerequisites may be accommodated. See Limitation of Enrolment for courses that may apply. **Applicability to the field depends upon the actual course content. Additional approvals will be granted on a course by course basis. Check the list published by the Department each February. ***No more than one FCE of such courses (approved by the Department prior to registering in the course) can be counted towards the Major Field. ****No more than 1 HCE of the courses in this group may be counted towards the major field. |
