Hello aska (o knowledgable one)
I?m a first year student year doing biophysics. This lumps me in with the life science program, which (I think) gets a different start time than the physics program students on july 30. Problem is, I want to take a few courses in physics (PHY151Y1, PHY152Y1 and a popular limited enrolment course), and only one bio this year (BIO130H1). Will the physics students get priority enrolment over the life science students for those courses?
PS. ASAP response appreciated as it?s time sensitive, but you probably have lots of questions this week
thanks,

hey jon snow’s brother,
this whole question is just a LITTLE SKEWED. you’ve almost understood everything, but not quite understood anything. which is how everyone goes into first year, i guess. so lemme straighten them crooked misconceptions:
1) if you’re a first year student, you’re not “doing” anything. you’re just a general first year life sci., physical/mathematical/chemical sci. or humanities student. biological physics?is a specialist program?you can enter after first year.
2) every single 1st year physics course has a priority for first-year life science AND physical/mathematical/chemical sciences students. a few of them include 1st year computer science in there, but as long as you’re in one of those streams, you’ll have first pick at the courses. neither life sci. or physical/mathematical sci. students will have a higher?priority than the other. BIO130H1 also has a priority for 1st year life sci. students.
you can see which enrolment indicators every course in the Faculty of Arts & Science has, and, if it has a priority, who the priority is for, on the timetable. if you use that, you’ll be?ahead of the pack when it comes to course enrolment, trust me.
