{2040412}

Admission Notes


  1. It is strongly recommended that PHYSICS 1B03  be completed in Level I. Students who have not completed PHYSICS 1B03  or 1L03  will be considered for admission, however, these units must be replaced with a course selected from the Life Sciences I Course List. Effective, September 2015, it is strongly recommended that one of PHYSICS 1B03 , 1C03 , 1L03  be completed in Level I. Students who have not completed one of PHYSICS 1B03 , 1C03 , 1L03  will be considered for admission, however, these units must be replaced with a course selected from the Life Sciences I Course List.
    PHYSICS 1B03   must be completed by the end of Level III. PHYSICS 1L03  serves as the prerequisite for PHYSICS 1B03  for students who have not completed Grade 12 Physics U. Completion of PHYSICS 1BB3  (or 1CC3 ) is also recommended.
  2. One of ASTRON 1F03 , PHYSICS 1BA3 , 1BB3 , 1F03  must be completed by the end of Level III.
