No. CHEM 2020/2021 can contribute towards your total overall credits and total SC credits. Further, it is not a biology course, and does not count towards your BIOL credits. CHEM 2020/2021 may be part of the degree requirements (such as in Biomed streams) but is no longer considered equivalent to our biology core courses.
CHEM 2050 4.00 is an introductory biochemistry course designed for Chemistry students who did not take BIOL 1000 3.00 and BIOL 1001 3.00. CHEM 2050 4.00 is a course credit exclusion for BIOL/BCHM 2020 3.00, which means that students cannot take both courses for credit. Only BIOL/BCHM 2020 3.00 will count towards the Biology/Biochemistry 2000-level […]
NATS courses are designed for non-science students. They do not count towards the BSc General Education requirement nor towards the BSc science breadth requirement. However, some NATS courses may be used as science electives, but not all. For example, Biology majors cannot take Biology-related Natural Sciences (NATS) courses for credit. In addition, some NATS courses […]
First try to enrol directly. If you are blocked from enrolling, email biology@yorku.ca and provide your name, student number, and the preferred section with catalogue number. Enrolment in these courses may be prioritized to students who require it for their program. Prerequisites are enforced.
Email biology@yorku.ca providing your name and student number, the courses you want to enrol in (include the catalogue numbers and the list of labs that fit your schedule for lab courses) and the prerequisites you have as transfer credit. Ideally, send this email ~ 1 week before your enrolment window. We will check the prerequisites, […]
If you are in an Honours program in Biology (with or without a stream) and require or wish to do an honours thesis, you must take BIOL 4000. If you are a Biochemistry major you must take BCHM 4000 and if you are an Environmental Biology major you must take ENVB 4000. It is possible […]
Below are a few sample programs to give you some idea of how to plan your degree. They do not replace the calendar or a degree progress report but are to show you examples of course selections over your enrollment years for various programs. Some of them show you what a reduced course load might […]
A few important notes before specific advice! Advising Videos Our new videos are currently posted to the Undergraduate Resources Page but we will post here soon! You can reach out to request the videos through the Biology Undergraduate Office if you can't wait. Old (pre-2021/2022) videos for interest and FAQ! These videos are still helpful […]
Students may repeat a course twice for a maximum of three attempts. The grade of the most recent attempt (up to the third attempt) is the grade of record and is the only grade used in the GPA calculation.
Yes. When you are in the BIOMEDICAL streams you are permitted to take all BIOL courses listed in the most up-to-date Academic calendar regardless of your enrollment year. So for example, if you enrolled in 2020-2021, you can examine the academic calendar from 2022-2023 to see if newer/additional courses have been added. This will allow […]
