Schedule of Studies - Revised
For students who were admitted to the B.Sc. program without one of the senior high school science courses - Biology, Chemistry or Physics - an equivalent course will be taken in the first semester at Guelph.
For example, if you did not complete Grade 12 high school Chemistry (in Ontario, this would be SCH4U) you would then take CHEM 1060 in Semester 1.
Likewise, if you did not take Grade 12 high school Physics (SPH4U in Ontario) you would then take PHYS 1020 in Semester 1.
For Biology, students would take BIOL 1020 (please consult with your Program Counsellor if you did not take Grade 12 Biology).
The university-level required courses in these subject areas are then normally completed in Semester 2 and Semester 3. This may result in a change to the usual Schedule of Studies in some majors. Many majors, however, include sufficient elective space in each semester to easily accommodate the additional course.
Please note: Only one of BIOL 1020, CHEM 1060 or PHYS 1020 may be applied towards the B.Sc. degree - as 0.5 credits Science Electives (or Free Electives).
Please contact your Program Counsellor if you have additional questions, especially if you are lacking a high school course in the area in which you intend to major.
