| Hi! I have a question about my subject POSts. I am right now, according to ROSI, in a Physics major, math minor, and psych minor. I noticed that the requirements for a math minor can be, aside from one or two half-courses, completely satisfied by the requirements of a physics major. Is that okay?? I feel like I’m cheating or something by listing a math minor as one of my POSts. Am I allowed to do both? Thanks, Lauren |

It’s one of those situations that I get told are ‘different for each student’ blah blah blah. I know, Lame with a capital ‘L’. I’m going to have to go in true Aska style and send you to another, yet wonderful resource: an academic advisor. Give them a shout and they can look at your specifics and tell you how you fit in with U of T law (or policies)
Cheers,
Aska

As I recall, your major plus your two minors (or second major) has to be at least 12 credits. So if your overlap will make it less than 12 credits, you’ll need to take more of the required courses. I believe this is covered in the front of the U of T course calendar book (the big fat one).
I can’t find a reference to this on the UTSG site, but here is a link to Scarborough campus’s FAQ which explains that. Except they spelled “overlap” wrong… man those Scarbarians. http://webapps.utsc.utoronto.ca/aaccweb/index.php/academicplanning/faq

I’ve selected two major programs but some of my courses overlop. Is this allowed?
When combining programs, you are allowed some overlapping courses. However, there is a limit on the number of courses you can overlap between your programs. According to the Honours Degree requirements listed on your Calendar, you must include twelve distinct credits among your programs. For example, if the requirements for your two major programs total 14 FCEs, and you must have twelve distinct credits, that means you can overlap up to 2 FCEs. If you are concerned you may have too many overlapping credits, consultation with a staff member from the Academic Advising & Career Centre and, perhaps, your respective Program Supervisors is recommended.
