Hi there,
So, here goes my list of questions:
1. Do all second year biology courses at UTSG require first year chemistry as a prerequisite? From the research I did, the courses don’t need chem but in order to get the program degree, you must have 1 FCE of chem. Well, there’s no point in taking the
courses and not be able to get the degree at the end of the day, is there?
2. If I want to transfer to UTSC for my second year of study, will I get all 5 credits that I completed in first year at UTSG?
3. Can I transfer from Social Sciences at UTSG to Mental Health Studies at UTSC or does it have to be the same area of study?
4. When are you told if your transfer request got accepted? By what date?
Thank you for your time! 🙂

Hey there back,
1)no
2)yes
3)no
4)yes
…. just kidding, don’t get all sassy with me.
1) No not all second year Bio classes require Chem classes, but it doesn’t look like you can get through Biology without having to take a Chem course at some point. Depending on which Bio program you are looking at taking, you may flatly be required to take a CHM course as a requirement or some of the required Bio classes have Chem as a prereq. Sorry, no avoiding those test tubes.
2) You should be, but there is no gaurentee. Here is what the admissions and awards webiste says:
- Transfer credits are assessed after admission has been decided. Credits are considered for degree courses taken at recognized degree-granting institutions.? More information will be provided at the time of admission.
- Successful applicants are admitted to a program area.? Admission to a specific program is determined by the Faculty/Department once transfer credits have been assessed, and will depend on whether or not program prerequisites and grade requirements have been met.
3) You can transfer to any program that you like, but make sure you have the requirements to get into the program.
4) When they get around to it ok!! GEEEZ. They don’t give a specific date, but the deadline to apply for all the programs are in the spring, so I would think it would be fair to assume that by the end of the spring semester you will know.
Good luck ol’ chap
