First Year Students

FIRST-YEAR COURSE REGISTRATION MAP

Here is the recommended course sequence for first-year students. The table presents the core courses that you must take in your first two years. The elective credits are a suggestion only because each program stream has specific requirements that will be satisfied by your selection of electives. For more detailed information see the Program Planning Guide (pdf). Remember that some courses have a laboratory component (highlighted in red italics) that must be taken in the SAME term and you must register in these along with the lecture section.
