Additional Constraints 

1. Alternative courses may be substituted with permission from the academic advisor. 
2. A maximum of 1.0 Science lab unit, exclusive of CHEM120L and CHEM123L, is permitted.
3. SCBUS-labelled and SCI-labelled courses do not count as Science units and are not included in any Science average calculations. 
4. If you are interested in professional pathways (medicine, pharmacy, dentistry, etc), these programs may require specific pre-requisite courses including but not limited to calculus, statistics, general, organic chemistry and/or biochemistry, introductory physics, specific biology courses, English and social sciences and/or humanities. These requirements differ between programs so please make sure to consult the admission requirements of the schools you would like to apply to and plan your courses accordingly. You should be able to use your Science Electives, Approved Courses and Elective to meet most admission requirements. Program Advisors may be able to help with course planning for these programs.
