This is a limited enrolment program. Students must have completed 4.0 credits and meet the requirements listed below to enrol.

Variable Minimum Grade/Grade Average
A minimum grade average in required courses or their equivalents is needed for entry, and this minimum changes each year depending on available spaces and the number of applicants. The following courses must be completed:

• BIO120H1, BIO130H1
• ( CHM135H1, CHM136H1)/ ( CHM138H1, CHM139H1)/ CHM151Y1

To ensure that students admitted to the program will be successful, applicants with a final grade lower than 60% in each course, or a final grade average lower than 70% in these required courses will not be considered for admission. Please note that obtaining this minimum grade average does not guarantee admission to the program. The underlying numeric final mark in each of your courses required for program enrolment will be used by the relevant academic unit to determine your eligibility.

Applications from students lacking numerical grades in one or more of the specified prerequisites, or students applying in their second or later years, may be considered on the basis of their entire academic record and the availability of space in the program. In addition to applying through ACORN, students applying in their second year or later are asked to please contact the department directly at dns.admin@utoronto.ca, specify which program you would like to be considered for, and provide your student number.

Please consult the Arts & Science Program Toolkit for more information on program enrolment.
