Common Questions

1. Do I have to take English in my first year?
The completion of 6 credits in junior level English is required for some of the Honors programs. For others, it is only a recommendation. You also do not have to take English in your first year. As long as you complete the English requirement before you apply to graduate, you will be fine.

2. What are Approved options?
The Departments will often have a list of course options that have been pre-approved by your advisor. If a list has not been provided, contact us for assistance.

3. Can I be a part time student?
You may not attend part time while registered in an Honors degree. All of our Honors degrees have course load requirements that must be followed. Review your program curriculum to ensure you have registered for the right number of courses.

RECOMMENDATION:
Meet with your Department Advisor at the beginning of the school year to discuss your goals and to ensure you have registered in the correct courses.

The Advisor list will be available in the Faculty of Science, Student Services Office once you start university
