The maximum allowable per term lecture enrolment is 2.5 lecture units (5 courses).
Honours BSc Plans
The normal allowable per term course load is five lecture courses and their associated labs. Enrolment will be capped at 3.25 units per term unless it occurs as part of the published course sequence of a Science plan.
Students are advised not to enrol in six lecture courses per term and, normally, will be required to drop one course unless their cumulative overall average is above 80%.
Students wishing to exceed 3.25 units by enrolling in:
- any combination of lectures and labs, involving less than seven lecture courses will:
- submit a unit load override request to their academic advisor for consideration, within the course selection period.
- seven lecture courses will:
- normally, have a 90% cumulative average.
- submit a petition for consideration by the Science Petitions Committee. The petition must be delivered to the Science Undergraduate Office and include the 70A petition form, supporting rationale or documentation, as well as comments from their academic advisor. Petitions must be submitted at least one month before the start of the term (April 1 for spring, August 1 for fall, and December 1 for winter).
