Notes to all Honours Chemistry Students

  1. Students whose major field of study is Chemistry may not take the following courses for credit: CHEM 228, CHEM 266/CHEM 266L, CHEM 267/CHEM 267L.
  2. The middle digit of most course numbers indicates the subdiscipline within which the course lies:
    X0X general interest 
    X1X inorganic/materials chemistry
    X2X analytical chemistry
    X3X biological chemistry/biochemistry
    X4X computational/theoretical chemistry
    X5X physical chemistry
    X6X organic chemistry
    X7X polymer chemistry
    X8X medicinal chemistry
    X9X individualized courses (research projects, etc.)

Technical Electives

Any 400-level CHEM lecture course may serve as a technical elective. Other courses may also qualify as technical electives. Consult the Chemistry website or speak with the plan advisor for the most up to date list of technical electives.
