no leniency for life science

Hello,

I got admitted into UTM in about April or May, I have taken Pre-Calc and Calc 12; Chem 12; Bio 12, and English 12.

I have recently logged into my ROSI account, and I looked at my time table there, there are already some courses on there (are those mandatory courses?). Also, do I have to take English? Is English a Mandatory first year course for life science?

Thank you very much,
Jean

Jean,

UTM makes your timetables for you?

I did not know that. I am enlightened. Thank you.

Granted, their website DOES say that all first-year students take first-year bio, chem, and math with wording that makes it seem like you don’t have a choice, so I guess those are mandatory.

And no, you don’t have to take English. Don’t worry, you’re not in high school anymore. 😉

What you do have to take/should take is all based on the program you’re aiming to get into, so take a look at the calendar to decide.

Cheers!

    Yes, it’s true. If you’re accepted into a general stream at UTM, the office of the registrar pre-enrolls you into the courses that you have to take to continue with that stream. So for the Life Science stream, you would be pre-enrolled in first year calculus, biology, and chemistry. And then the rest of the courses depend on the individual person. Ofcourse, you can always drop the pre-loaded courses and take courses completely out of the program that you were accepted in.
    I was personally accepted for the Social Sciences stream, and as far as I know, that is the only program which does not have any pre-enrolled courses.
    Congrats on getting accepted and good luck!
