Hi there,
I’m a second year student. I’ve recently made up my mind that I would like to proceed with a biology major. The prerequisites at my campus (UTM) ask that I have a first year Chemistry and Calculus in order to be subject to qualification in the program. I added the chemistry course to my ROSI, but was later prompted with an e-mail from the department saying that I did not have the requirement (i.e. Grade 12 Chemistry) and that this could not be wavered. Is there anything I can do in order to continue what I want to do? I don’t want a single course to impeded what I want to do.
What can I do?
-Thank you.

You might want to sit down for this one. I’m going to try to band-aid approach for. Quick and painful. You have to go back to highschool.
I would make a pit stop with an Academic Adivisor. They will be able to tell you your options. This is not uncommon to change your mind about your major and need to get a prerequsite. So they will be able to tell you your options, whiiich I’m sure?will not ?include you having to drop out of university and going back to highschool.
may the force be with you,

I think you can do an AP exam in the subject you would like the credit in, in this case chemistry. UofT provides transfer credits if you score 4 or above (I think) out of 5 in your AP exam. That AP exam should be the equivalent to a grade 12 chemistry course (or even a university course such as CHM139H1). Check it out before you go to highschool for one class you may be able to learn on your own.
