Residency Requirements for Faculty of Science Degrees
To obtain a B.Sc. degree, students must satisfy the following residency requirements: a minimum of 60 credits of courses used to satisfy the B.Sc. degree requirements must be taken and passed at Â鶹AV, exclusive of any courses completed as part of the Science Freshman/Foundation Year program; see B.Sc. Freshman/Foundation Year Program. At least two-thirds of all departmental program requirements (Honours, Major, Core Science Components, or Minor) must normally be completed at Â鶹AV not including courses completed in a prior Â鶹AV degree. Exceptionally, students in major concentrations or interfaculty or honours programs who pursue an approved Study Away or Exchange program may—with prior approval from both their department and the Associate Dean, Student Affairs, Faculty of Science—be exempted from the two-thirds rule. In addition, some departments may require that their students complete specific components of their program at Â鶹AV.
The residency requirement for diploma programs is 30 credits completed at Â鶹AV.
