Time Limit

There is no time limit for completion of degree requirements in the Faculty of Pure and Applied Science. Students taking a normal full-time load of approximately 30 credits per Fall/Winter session can expect to complete a BSc degree in three Fall/Winter sessions or a BSc Honours degree in four Fall/Winter sessions. A limited number of courses are also available during the Summer Session; a maximum of 12 credits can be taken in that session.

Although there is no minimum number of credits in which a student must enrol in any session, students who do not enrol in any courses in a Fall/Winter session must formally apply to have their files reactivated before resuming their studies in a subsequent session (see "Reactivation" in Science section II).

Since science curriculum is constantly evolving through the introduction of new course requirements and/or prerequisites, students are strongly advised to complete their degree requirements in as short a period of time as their personal circumstances and university schedules permit, in order to minimize the impact of such changes.
