Note:
The following degree requirements do not apply to students in the
Space and Communication Sciences Stream of Specialized Honours Computer
Science; for requirements of that stream, see "Space and Communication
Sciences" in Science section V.
i)
With the exception noted above, all BSc and BSc Honours degree candidates
must complete the program core: SC/COSC 1020 3.0; SC/COSC 1030 3.0;

(see Note 2 below).
ii)
All BSc and BSc Honours degree candidates must comply with general
regulation 4 (Science section IV) by completing the following (in
addition to the Computer Science and Mathematics courses from the
program core):
- 6
credits from SC/BIOL 1010 6.0, SC/BIOL 1410 6.0, SC/CHEM 1000
3.0 and SC/CHEM 1001 3.0, SC/EATS 1010 3.0 and SC/EATS 1011 3.0,
SC/PHYS 1410 6.0 or SC/PHYS 1010 6.0; (Note: in this context,
SC/COSC 1020 3.0 and SC/COSC 1030 3.0 satisfy the other half of
the 1000-level Science requirement for courses with laboratories.)
- at
least 3 additional credits from 1000-level Science courses (excluding
SC/CHEM 1500 4.0, SC/MATH 1510 6.0, SC/MATH 1515 3.0, SC/PHYS
1510 4.0 and all Natural Science courses);
- 12
general education credits (see "General Education Requirements"
in Science section IV).
iii)
All BSc and BSc Honours degree candidates, in accordance with their
declared programs, must comply with general regulation 5 or 6 (Science
section IV) and, in so doing, must also satisfy the course, credit
and standing requirements specified below.
iv)
All BSc Honours degree candidates with a major in Computer Science
must complete at least 30 credits which are neither computer science
nor mathematics.
Note
1: See the general prerequisites for 2000-, 3000- and 4000-level
Computer Science courses (under "Courses of Instruction") for information
about cumulative grade point average requirements in completed Computer
Science courses.
Note
2: To satisfy Computer Science degree requirements, SC/MATH 1000
3.0 or SC/MATH 1013 3.0 may be taken in lieu of SC/MATH 1300 3.0;
SC/MATH 1010 3.0 or SC/MATH 1014 3.0 may be taken in lieu of SC/MATH
1310 3.0; SC/MATH 1021 3.0 or SC/MATH 2221 3.0 may be taken in lieu
of SC/MATH 1025 3.0.
Bachelor Program
To
graduate in a Bachelor program. For students admitted to York University
for 1999-2000 and subsequent years, the Senate of York University
requires a minimum overall grade point average of 4.0 in order to
be eligible to graduate with a BSc degree (Bachelor program).
- the
program core, as specified in i) above;
- the
Faculty of Pure and Applied Science general education and 1000-level
Science requirements, as specified in ii) above;
- at
least 9 additional credits from Computer Science courses at the
3000 level, including at least 3 credits from courses with second
digit 4 (i.e. applications area), for an overall total of at least
36 credits from Computer Science courses;
- additional
elective credits, as required for an overall total of at least
90 credits, including at least 66 credits from Science courses.
Honours Programs
To
declare Honours requires successful completion of at least 24 credits
and a minimum cumulative credit-weighted grade point average of
5.0 over all courses completed, subject to the exceptions in the
notes below.
To
proceed in each year of an Honours program requires a minimum cumulative
credit-weighted grade point average of 5.0 over all courses completed,
subject to the exceptions in the notes below.
To
graduate in an Honours program requires successful completion of
all Faculty requirements and departmental required courses and a
minimum cumulative credit-weighted grade point average of 5.0 over
all courses completed, subject to the exceptions in the notes below.
Notes:
1.
In addition, a minimum cumulative credit-weighted grade point average
of 6.0 over all Science (SC) courses completed is required to declare,
proceed and graduate in (i) the Space and Communication Sciences
Stream of Specialized Honours, (ii) the Honours Double Major program
where Biology is the other major, and (iii) the Honours Major/Minor
program where Biology is the major. (The minimum 6.0 Science grade
point average is not required where Biology is the minor.)
2.
Students admitted to York University prior to 1999-2000 may declare
Honours and proceed and graduate in Honours programs according to
the academic standards of the year in which they were admitted.

or with an Honours Minor in another subject area in a BSc Honours
Major/Minor degree program. Possible subject combinations are listed
under "Undergraduate Degree Programs" in Science section I.
