Academic Plans - Non-Departmental

Joint Honours X with Biology

Admission into this plan requires an overall average of 65% in the student's home academic plan.  Continuation within the Joint plan is contingent upon maintaining an overall average of 60% in BIOL courses, as well as meeting the requirements of their home faculty academic plan. 

The successful completion of the Joint Honours X with BIology plan requires the following:

1. CHEM 120, 120L, 123, 123L (or their equivalents)
2. 6.5 BIOL lecture units (13 courses) excluding BIOL 112; 4.0 units (8 courses) of which must be at the 300- or 400-level.

Note: 
Students may elect to substitute one or two BIOL courses with CHEM 266/266L, and CHEM 237/237L, provided that they are not required courses in their home department/faculty academic plan.

Any BIOL course required for a studen'ts home department/faculty academic plan cannot be counted towards completion of the Biology Joint Honours plan.  If a student's home academic plan includes CHEM 120, 120L and CHEM 123,123L as required courses 7.5  BIOL units (15 courses) will be required to complete the Joint Honours X with Biology plan.

Joint Honours X with Chemistry

Continuation within this plan is contingent upon maintaining an overall average of 60% in the required CHEM courses, as well as meeting the requirements of their home faculty academic plan.

The successful completion of the Joint Honours X with Chemistry plan requires the following:

1. CHEM 120, 120L, 123, 123L (or equivalents)
2. CHEM 140L, 209
3. Any two of the following sequences:
   • CHEM 212, 310, 310L, 313, 313L*
   • CHEM 220, 220L, 221, 224L, 323
   • CHEM 233, 331, 335L, 357 **
   • CHEM 250L, 254, 350, 350L, 356*
   • CHEM 264, 265, 265L, 360, 360L
4. Five additional 300- or 400-level CHEM courses

Note: 
*For these sequences, students are advised to take first-year Calculus (e.g. MATH 127, 128) and first-year Physics (e.g. PHYS 111 or 121; and PHYS 112 or 122).
**For this sequence students must also choose the last sequence because CHEM 264 and 265  are prerequisites for CHEM 233 and 331, respectively.

Joint Honours X with Earth Sciences

Continuation within this plan is contingent upon maintaining an overall average of 60% in the required EARTH courses, as well as meeting the requirements of their home faculty academic plan*.

The successful completion of the Joint Hnours X with Earth Sciences plan requires the following:

1. EARTH 121, 121L, 122, 122L
2. PHYS 111,111L or PHYS 121, 121L
3. CHEM 120, 120L, 123, 123L (or equivalents)
4. MATH 127 (or equivalent)
5. STAT 202 (or equivalent)
6. Three of EARTH 123, 221, 231, 232, 235, 238, 260 (1.5 units)
7. Two additional 200-level EARTH electives (1.0 unit)
8. Two 200-level or higher EARTH electives (1.0 unit)
9. Six EARTH 300- or 400-level electives (3.0 units)

Note: 
*This joint plan is not open to students enrolled in Geological Engineering.  Any EARTH course required for a student's home department/faculty plan cannot be counted towards completion of the Joint Honours with Earth Sciences plan.  If a student's home academic plan requires any of the non-EARTH courses, listed above, additional courses must be taken as substitutes and must be approved by an Earth Sciences advisor.

Joint Honours X with Physics

Admission into this plan requires an overall average of 65% in the student's home academic plan.  Continuation within this plan is contingent upon maintaining an overall average of 60% in the required PHYS courses, as well as meeting the requirements of their home faculty academic plan.  In addition, students must have an average of at least 65% in the lecture courses PHYS 121, 122, 124, MATH 114, 127, 128 (or equivalents) in order to continue in this joint plan.

The successful completion of the Joint Hnours X with Physics plan requires the following:

1. MATH 114, 127, 128, 227, 228 , (or equivalents)
2. PHYS 121, 131L, 122, 124, 132L, 232L, 234, 236, 242, 242L, 256, 256L, 260L, 263, 334, 342, 358, 359, 360A, 363, 364, 365
3. One 300- or 400-level PHYS elective lab (0.25)
4. Three 400-level PHYS courses (1.5 units)

Note: 
Any PHYS course required for a student's home department/facutly academic plan cannot be counted towards completion of the Physics Joint Honours plan.  If a student's home academic plan includes any of the courses listed above, with the exception of PHYS 121, 122, MATH 114, 127, 128, 227 and 228, additional PHYS courses are required so that a total of nine dedicated lecture units (4.5 units) and two lab units (.5 units) of PHYS courses are taken to complete the Joint Honours X with Physics plan.
