Psychology

Admission to all 2000-, 3000- and 4000-level courses in psychology (with the exception of AK/AS/SC/PSYC 2020 6.0, AK/AS/SC/PSYC 2021 3.0, and AK/AS/SC/PSYC 2022 3.0) is conditional upon satisfactory completion of AK/AS/SC/PSYC 1010 6.0.

Students must obtain a minimum grade of C (4.0) in AK/AS/SC/PSYC 1010 6.0 to be permitted to continue as a major or minor in psychology, as well as to take any further psychology courses for which AK/AS/SC/PSYC 1010 6.0 is a prerequisite. Under exceptional circumstances, non-major/minors who have not obtained a minimum grade of C (4.0) in AK/AS/SC/PSYC 1010 6.0 may apply for special consideration to enrol in an upper-level psychology course for which AK/AS/SC/PSYC 1010 6.0 is a prerequisite. This application should be made to the psychology undergraduate program director of the Faculty offering the course.
