Within this guide, you will find year-by-year course information, registration advice, tips and tools to help you navigate your program. In addition, there is information regarding the selection of your concentration courses, General Science Options and how to find them, and questions you can reflect on as you progress throughout your degree.

Throughout the guide, you may encounter WARNINGS! or TIPS! that you should take particular note of. These are questions we are frequently asked or places where students may get caught off guard by policy, such as the low-grade policy or junior-limit policy.

Subheadings to look for on each year's page:

• Complete these (10) courses in this year of your program

• Cognate Courses

• Approved Options

• Approved Senior Options

• Reflection questions you should be asking each year

WARNING! Reducing course load in any semester may increase your timeline for graduation. Alternative course loads to the standard of 5 in Fall and 5 in Winter are possible. If you plan to reduce your course load over the Fall and Winter terms please consult your advisor. Be aware that a 4 year degree program is based on the completion of 10 courses per academic year, changes or reductions to this may result in a longer degree completion timeline of 5+ years. Always consult with your advisor when making decisions about which classes to remove from your course schedule.

WARNING! The low-grade policy states that students cannot have more than two grades below C- in their program, with no more than one grade below C- in their core (major) for graduation purposes.

WARNING! The junior limit references the maximum number of 1XXX-level courses a student can apply towards graduation requirements; the maximum number is 16 @ 1XXX (first year courses).
