Admission and Student Standing
Applications to Honours Neuroscience are accepted:
Note: Students admitted directly from High School into the Neuroscience Honours program are encouraged to sign up also for the Graduation Guarantee, Subsection 3.4.A.

GPA Requirements
Note: GPA requirements for Honours programs
* Students who do not qualify for continuation probably should considering transferring into one of the Biological Sciences, Natural Sciences or Psychology programs provided they meet the admission requirements for those programs. Students with a GPA of less than 2.000 are subject to the provisions of 3.7 Student Standing, A. Performance Review, Probationary Status and Dismissal. Note: Students in Neuroscience may take no more than 6.0 FCE that would fulfill major field requirements in Biological Sciences programs or the Psychology program respectively. Students who wish to transfer out of Neuroscience into either Biological Sciences or Psychology must apply to transfer by the application deadline and will be able to take more such courses once admitted to their new program. |

Recommendations for the Honours Program
Hotchkiss Brain Institute Throughout their time in the Neuroscience program, students are encouraged to attend seminars at the Hotchkiss Brain Institute. In their fourth year, students must register in Neuroscience 511.
International Component This suggestion may be satisfied in various ways, e.g., by completing 1.0 FCE from the list of courses in item 4 of the section "Make Your Degree More International," under "About the University" in the Calendar, or by following one of the other suggestions listed there. If non-science course work is used to satisfy this recommendation, this course work could be part of the breadth requirement. Optional courses Students typically choose optional courses in consultation with a faculty mentor. |

Suggested Program Sequence
*Students should take Chemistry 201 in the Winter term if they are not taking it in the Fall term.
1Chemistry 201 and 203 are offered both in Fall and Winter terms and students may do them in any order. 2Students who wish to complete a full year of Organic Chemistry may register in Chemistry 353 or 355. 3Since students complete Neuroscience 301 in Spring of their first year, this slot is left open. |
