Approval will not be given for double majors in Chemistry and Biochemistry although two degrees may be received after appropriate academic advising, see §16.9.1.7.
Students in the Faculty of Science who fail to attain the required averages for graduation after completing the degree requirements may attempt up to 30 additional credit hours (either by repeating courses or taking additional courses) to attempt to raise their average. Students in this situation must consult the Associate Dean (Academic) or the Academic Program Advisor to determine the courses that may be repeated or additional courses that may be attempted.
