- Please refer to the departmental section of the Calendar for information on major requirements. For example, a student intending to major in biology should see the section of the Department of Biology.
- First-year students may register in 3 to 30 credit units (a maximum of 15 credit units per term) in the Regular Session (September to April).
- First-year students usually register only in junior courses (100-level) in their first term (September to December). Depending on prerequisite requirements, some senior courses are open to first-year students in the second term (January to April), such as CHEM 250.3, some STAT courses, etc. Students may register only in the courses for which prerequisites have been satisfied. For example, students must complete Chemistry 30 before registering in CHEM 112.3. High school prerequisites for university courses are listed in the course descriptions in the Course Catalogue section of the Calendar.
