* A minimum of 1.00 credits of Arts/Social Sciences electives is required for completion of this program.

** A minimum of 2.00 credits in science courses at the 4000 level is required for graduation.

+ One of CHEM*3870 or CHEM*4880 is required for graduation.

++ Four work terms are required for the completion of the co-op degree. It is also necessary that there be at least one work term in each of Fall, Winter and Summer semesters. Therefore, one of the summer work terms could be missed and the student would still graduate successfully. Whether the student completes four or five work terms, a report is required for each work term completed. Contact the co-op faculty advisor for further details.
