Guidelines for Course Selection

Students who received advanced standing or the CEGEP equivalent of the 100-level Math courses listed below are no longer required to take them. Whenever an exemption without credits is granted for a 200-level and above required Math course, the latter must be replaced with a complementary course chosen in consultation with a program advisor. Students are strongly advised to complete all required courses by the end of U2. Where appropriate, Honours courses may be substituted for equivalent courses. Students planning to pursue graduate studies are encouraged to make such substitutions.
