Important Notes for Upper Year students

Students are responsible for meeting their own graduation requirements.

Plan ahead - many upper level courses are offered in alternating years

Register for core courses at first available opportunity.  Students should have a plan and be able to register their next year of courses as soon as registration opens each year. 

Always check for prerequisities and corequisites

For basic advising including course selection approval and graduation assessments contact Scott Thomas.

Students looking for the Honours thesis program (Biol 4090 or BIPS 4001/4002) must first be accepted by a supervising faculty supervisor.
