¹Students may apply a maximum of 9 units from independent project courses numbered 507, 528 and 530 towards their major field; of these 9 units, students are permitted a maximum of 6 units of independent project courses labelled as 507 offered by the Department of Biological Sciences.

²A maximum of 6 units of such courses may be counted towards the field.

³Applicability to the field depends upon the actual course content (approved by the Department prior to registering in the course).

⁴No more than 6 units of such courses (approved prior to registering in the course) can be counted towards the major field.
