FIRST YEAR PROGRAM

Students registering in first year general programs must choose courses that fulfill the basic requirement of 5.0 courses numbered 001-099. Students are encouraged to take an essay course in first year. At least 1.0 course from each of two of the Faculties of Arts and Humanities, the Faculty of Science and one other faculty must be included.

Students are responsible for choosing courses that fulfill the prerequisites for senior courses (numbered 100 - 499). Specific prerequisites are included in the individual course descriptions listed in the UNDERGRADUATE COURSE INFORMATION. If in doubt, students should seek appropriate counselling and consult directly with the Department(s) concerned. Prospective first year students should seek help in choosing courses during the Summer Academic Orientation.

Part-time students who have completed 1.0 first year course are eligible to register in senior courses (numbered 100 - 499) for which they have completed the prerequisite(s). However, part-time students who have a substantial background and interest in a particular subject area are, on written recommendation of the Dean of their Faculty, eligible to register in a senior course (numbered 100 - 499) pertinent to that subject prior to the completion of a first year course. All part-time students must successfully complete the 5.0 courses of the first year program within their first 10.0 courses attempted.
