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. This program does not have a Co-op option.
5. 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.
6. Students in the Honours Life Sciences - Health Evidence and Science Engagement Specialization are excluded from the pre-registration ballot process as LIFESCI 4Z03  is a program requirement and registration is guaranteed.
7. SUSTAIN 3SS3  is only offered in the Spring Term.
8. Thesis and project courses that do not use a LIFESCI or SCICOMM course code may only be used towards elective credit.
