General Major Regulations for Students Admitted Prior to September 2007
- Registration in a major is not permitted unless the student has
obtained a GP(A) of at least 4.00 in the required junior credit(s) of
the major subject. Exceptions must be approved by both the department

must complete all requirements listed in the program description, with
a cumulative GPA of at least 5.00 computed on all courses of the major
subject.
- Successful completion of 15.0 credits (or equivalent), of
which no more than 3.0 credits may be Business courses, chosen in
accordance with the regulations for all general degree programs, with a
GPA of at least 4.00.

- The program must contain at least 3.0 credits from: BI100*; CH110 and CH111; GL100*; PC131 and PC132 (or PC141 and PC142).
General BSc Computer Science and Physics majors may substitute CP104 and CP114 toward this requirement. Kinesiology & Physical Education (BSc) majors may substitute CP104 and one of CP102 or CP114, for GL100*.
-
The program must contain MA103 and MA104 (or another credit in mathematics or computer science as described in the program requirements for the student's major).
-
The program may not contain more than 8.0 junior (100 level) credits.
-
The program must contain at least 2.0 senior credits in Biology,
Chemistry, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Division C
