Bachelor of Bio-Resource Management (BBRM)
Welcome to the Bachelor of Bio-Resource Management program. We are excited to welcome you to the University of Guelph!
Picking your courses for Semester 1 (Fall 2024):
As a BBRM student in Semester 1, you will select 2.50 credits for full-time registration. Your courses are determined by the major into which you have been admitted. Your required courses for Semester 1 are listed here:

- BIOL*1070 Discovering Biodiversity. If you do not have high school biology, please contact your Program Counsellor (contact information below).

OR
CHEM*1040 General Chemistry I – pick this course if you do have grade 12 or 4U chemistry.
These four courses make up a full-time schedule.
* Students looking for an in-person course option can take HROB*2090 Individuals and Groups in Organizations. HROB*2090 is scheduled for the Winter semester but can be taken in the Fall. MGMT*2150 will then be required in the Winter semester (as a DE option).

Advising Notes:
- Pick your courses as soon as possible. Availability of desired sections may fill up quickly.
- You will use WebAdvisor to pick your courses. Detailed instructions on using WebAdvisor are available in the WebAdvisor Tutorial.
- BBRM students do not select an elective for their first semester.
- Note that the Equine Management and Environmental Management majors take four courses. This is because EQN*1010 and ENVS*1030 are worth double credits (1.00 versus 0.50).
- For information about the Co-operative Education program, including requirements for students enrolled in Co-op and what to do if you're interested in applying for the program, visit the Co-operative Education page.
- Review the Schedule of Studies (the order in which you are advised to take courses). Go to the BBRM degree program section of the Undergraduate Calendar and click on your major. Here you will find your major laid out by semester, with listings of courses that are available for selection throughout your studies.
