Admission Notes

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.
One of ASTRON 1F03 , PHYSICS 1BA3 , 1BB3 , 1F03 must be completed by the end of Level III.

Program Notes

ORIGINS 2B03 and 2LU3 must be completed by the end of Level III. These courses should be completed in Level II when possible.
Both CHEM BIO 2A03 and 2P03 are highly recommended for students interested in pursuing an undergraduate thesis or graduate studies in biophysical chemistry.
Students who fail to meet the prerequisite for ORIGINS 4A09 A/B will not be permitted to continue in the Origins Research Specialization. However, if appropriate requirements have been met, students may apply to graduate with the Minor in Origins Research.
