Science Academic Plans

Advisor: See Faculty of Science, academic advisors

A Minor in Chemistry is available to students in any Honours Academic Plan, except for plans offered by the Department of Chemistry or plans that include including the designation "Specialization in Chemistry". A Minor in Chemistry will not be awarded together with a Minor in Biochemistry, as this would require triple counting of some courses.

In order to graduate with a Minor in Chemistry, students must complete the following requirements successfully:

1. 5.0 units that include:
   • 1.5 CHEM units: CHEM 120, CHEM 120L, CHEM 123, and CHEM 123L
• 2.0 CHEM lecture units, 200-level or higher
• 1.0 CHEM lecture unit, 300 or 400-level
• 0.5 CHEM lab unit, 200-level or higher
2. A minimum cumulative average of 60% for all lecture courses
3. A minimum cumulative average of 60% for all lab courses

1. A maximum of two failures in CHEM courses is allowed.
2. A maximum of 1.5 CHEM lecture units can be from the same theme area. For 200-level or higher CHEM courses, the middle digit in the course number designates the theme area. "0" is general interest, "1" is inorganic/materials chemistry, "2" is analytical chemistry, "3" is biological chemistry/biochemistry, "4" is computational/theoretical chemistry, "5" is physical chemistry, "6" is organic chemistry, "7" is polymer chemistry, and "8" is medicinal chemistry.
