Section 5: Science Program Info Applicable to all Science Students

5.1 Student Responsibility
You must insure that you are selecting the correct courses that will enable you to satisfy your degree requirements. See the Science chapter of the Calendar to insure compliance with degree program requirements. Final completion of degree requirements is your responsibility. Student Advisors are available to help you with any questions about your academic progress.

5.2 General Program
All students are admitted to and registered in the General degree program unless they indicate otherwise to a Science Student Advisor.

Students in the General program are not required to contact a Science Student Advisor before registration; however, you are strongly advised to do so. A Science Student Advisor can answer any questions about degree progress and entry to professional faculties that may affect your registration.

Students reverting from the Major or Honours program to the General program must consult a Science Student Advisor prior to registration, so that their university records may be changed.

Science Student Advisors may check your degree progress periodically, but such checks are completed after registration. Remember, you are responsible for satisfying all degree requirements.

5.3 Major, Major (Co-operative Option), Honours,
Honours (Co-operative Option)

Students must obtain departmental approval and deliver it to the Science General Office prior to accessing AURORA STUDENT. Honours students are reminded that their Fall/Winter Session registration must comply with your program’s definition of full time study (normally, a minimum of 9 credit hours in each Fall and Winter term.) Prior to declaring graduation, Honours and Major students must have their program checked by a Science Student Advisor.

Students entering or changing a program must also see a Science Student Advisor so that eligibility will be checked and university records updated.

Departments may not be able to provide advice by telephone. Also, not all departments have departmental advisors available during all working hours. Contact your department to determine hours of availability.
