Honours Life Sciences - Sensory Motor Systems Specialization (B.Sc.)


The Honours Life Sciences - Sensory Motor Systems Specialization is being phased out. Last entry into Level II is September 2024. After September 2024, students who had intended to register for this program should contact an Academic Advisor in the Office of the Associate Dean, Undergraduate Studies to discuss other options.

Admission Notes


  1. Completion of BIOLOGY 1M03 CHEM 1AA3  and either PSYCH 1FF3  or 1XX3  is strongly recommended as they serve as prerequisites for required courses in Levels II and III.
  2. For students who entered in September 2023 or prior, completion of CHEM 1AA3  is required by the end of Level II. Completion in Level I is strongly recommended.

Admission


Enrolment in this program is limited and possession of the published minimum requirements does not guarantee admission. Selection is based on academic achievement, but requires, as a minimum, completion of any Level I program with a Grade Point Average of at least 5.0 including:

Program Notes


  1. Registration in an Honours Life Sciences program does not guarantee access to all courses. Some courses have program restrictions. Students are advised to check prerequisites carefully.
  2. Students interested in completing a thesis or independent study course should consider completing LIFESCI 3RP3  in Level III.
  3. Students interested in graduate school may wish to consider completion of a thesis or independent study course (See LIFESCI 4A03 , 4B09 A/B S , 4C12 A/B S , 4D15 A/B S , SCICOMM 4A03 ). 
  4. LIFESCI 2G03 does not substitute for BIOLOGY 2C03  or MOLBIOL 2C03  for prerequisite purposes.
  5. This program does not have a Co-op option.
  6. Course planning is extremely important. Students must review and consider the requisites on Level II, III and IV courses when enrolling in the previous Levels.
  7. Students in the Honours Life Sciences - Sensory Motor Systems Specialization are excluded from the pre-registration ballot process as LIFESCI 4XX3  is a program requirement and registration is guaranteed.
  8. For students who entered in September 2023 or prior, CHEM 1AA3  must be completed by the end of Level II. Completion in Level I is strongly recommended.
  9. SUSTAIN 3SS3  is only offered in the Spring Term.
  10. Effective the 2023-24 academic year, the “Life Sciences Course List” has been renamed to be the “Interdisciplinary Topics Course List”. Advisement reports may indicate either list name, depending on your year of entry into the program.
