- While the above schedule constitutes the recommended sequence by which all program requirements are satisfied, other valid sequences are possible. However, many of the required courses have one or more prerequisites and students are advised to be cautious in departing from the recommended schedule.
- Electives must include at least 1.0 credit from outside of the major discipline(s) of which 0.5 credit must be from a discipline outside of those offered by the Faculty of Science.
- For progression into Year 2 of the program, the requirements include a minimum average GP of 5.00 in Year 1 MA and ST courses, a minimum average GP of 5.00 in CH110 and CH111 and an overall GPA of 5.00. For progression into Year 3 and Year 4, and for graduation, the requirements include a minimum average GP of 5.00 in Chemistry, Mathematics and Statistics courses and an overall GPA of 5.00.
- Students who are not planning to enroll in CH490‡ in Year 4 must enroll in CH390 in Year 3. Students who plan to enroll in CH490‡ in Year 4 are encouraged to enroll in CH390 in Year 3 but are not required to do so and may replace CH390 with a 0.5 elective credit.
- The program must include at least 1.0 400 level MA credit (including MA489, if taken).
- Senior honours students are expected to attend all department seminars.
- Based on the results of the Calculus Preparation Evaluation, an entering student may be advised to complete MA102 prior to completing MA103; then MA102 and MA103 would be completed in Year 1 and MA104 would be completed in Year 2.
