Joint Honours Non-Science Major Plans

In addition to existing explicit joint honours plans, many Honours plans may be combined within and between faculties. Students are required to consult with the appropriate academic advisors of both programs prior to starting a joint plan. Students must meet the requirements of both plans as stated in this Calendar and should be aware that combining some Honours plans may require more than the normal number of academic terms to complete. Plan modification forms for these plans are normally only reviewed after introductory Science and Math courses have been completed with the necessary averages.

Joint Honours X with Biology

Admission into this plan requires an overall average of 65% in the student's home academic plan. Continuing in this plan is contingent upon maintaining an overall average of 60% in the required BIOL courses, as well as meeting the requirements of the home Faculty academic plan.

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

8.0 units distributed as follows:

Notes

  1. If the home Faculty academic plan requires CHEM 120, CHEM 120L and CHEM 123, CHEM 123L, an additional 1.0 BIOL lecture unit must be taken.
  2. CHEM 266/CHEM 266L and CHEM 237/CHEM 237L can substitute a 0.5 or 1.0 BIOL unit provided they are not requirements of the home Faculty academic plan.
  3. BIOL units required for the home Faculty academic plan do not count towards this plan.
  4. BIOL 101 does not count towards this Joint plan.

Joint Honours X with Chemistry

Admission into this plan requires an overall average of 65% in the student's home academic plan. Continuing in this plan is contingent upon maintaining an overall average of 60% in the required CHEM courses, as well as meeting the requirements of the home Faculty academic plan.

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

9.5 units distributed as follows:

Joint Honours X with Earth Sciences

Admission into this plan requires an overall average of 65% in the student's home academic plan. Continuing in this plan is contingent upon maintaining an overall average of 60% in the required EARTH courses, as well as meeting the requirements of the home Faculty academic plan.

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

9.75 units distributed as follows:

Notes

  1. EARTH units required for the home Faculty academic plan do not count toward this plan.
  2. Non-EARTH courses required for the home Faculty require a substitute course, approved by the Earth Sciences advisor, for the joint plan.
  3. This joint plan is not open to students enrolled in Geological Engineering.

Joint Honours X with Physics

Admission into this plan requires an overall average of 65% in the student's home academic plan. Continuing in this plan is contingent upon maintaining an overall average of 60% in the required PHYS courses, as well as meeting the requirements of the home Faculty academic plan.

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

13.75 units distributed as follows:

Note

This joint plan is not open to students enrolled in the Mathematical Physics or the Applied Mathematics/Physics Option plans offered by the Faculty of Mathematics.
