Undeclared Science (First Year Studies Only)

O.S.S.D. with six Grade 12 U/M courses, including Grade 12 U courses in: English, Advanced Functions (MHF4U), two of Biology (SBI4U) or Chemistry (SCH4U) or Physics (SPH4U).

Notes:

1. ENG4U/EAE4U is the preferred English.
   
2. The grade(s) required in the subject prerequisites (normally in the range of 70 percent) will be determined subject to competition.
   
3. Completion of all three science courses is recommended
   
4. Subject to competition, candidates may be required to present averages/grades above the minimum.  

Students who are not yet sure about which science discipline is of interest to them enrol in this plan of study. The first and second semester curriculum is common for Biology, Chemistry or Medical Physics. All of the information provided in the plan description of these science plans is relevant and applicable to the undeclared science students.

Undeclared science students must, by no later than February 2nd, declare their intention to enrol in a plan of their choice from one of Biology, Chemistry, or Medical Physics. During the course intention period, students will select applicable courses for the fall and winter terms of their second year from their chosen plan.

Depending on space availability, undeclared students who complete the curriculum of the first year with CLEAR Academic Standing, and who achieve acceptable grades in the required courses of the discipline they wish to pursue, will remain in and be enrolled in the science plan of their choice.

Students already in a declared plan who wish to switch to another science plan should contact the First Year and Common Science Office (opens in new window)  by February 2nd.

Any undeclared science student will continue to be enrolled in the undeclared plan of study until they achieve CLEAR Academic Standing. In cases where the undeclared designation is on-going due to poor academic performance, student course intention will be subject to a written statement of understanding between the student and the program director of his/her desired program.

Students must take three lower level liberal studies courses and three upper level liberal studies courses to graduate. Students must not choose courses that are restricted for their program or major.

Please refer to the liberal studies section of the calendar for more information on the Liberal Studies Policy. Further information on liberal studies can also be found at the Faculty of Arts/Liberal Studies website (opens in new window) .
