Students Intending to Specialize in Chemistry
The point at which a high school or regional college student enters the chemistry program is governed by the student’s subject knowledge. CHEM 110 and 111 are not required for the BSc degree but are available as electives to those with no chemistry knowledge or who are starting from BC high school chemistry 11. Those with BC high school chemistry 12 (or equivalent) normally start with CHEM 121. Major and honors students must fulfil program requirements below. Whether majoring in chemistry or not, students may not enrol in any CHEM course for which a D grade was obtained in any prerequisite.
The following statements clarify and standardize the minimum requirements that a student must fulfil to complete a chemistry course as well as those to pass a combination lecture/laboratory course.
Course Non-completion
The following will constitute non-completion of the required material in a chemistry course.
• not writing the final examination or its equivalent
• not completing the required minimum number of experiments in a laboratory course or the laboratory component of a course
• not completing additional or alternative material specified by the instructor
The letter grade N will be awarded in these cases.
Students must pass both the lecture and laboratory components individually to obtain a passing grade in lecture/laboratory combination courses.
Graduate Courses
Graduate courses are available to senior undergraduate students for upper division chemistry credit. See “Chemistry CHEM” on page 328 for a list of all CHEM courses offered, or consult an advisor for specific course offerings.
Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements
Students completing degree programs must fulfil writing, quantitative and breadth requirements as part of their program. See “Writing, Quantitative, and Breadth Requirements” on page 7 for information.
Mathematics and physics courses should be completed as early as possible.

Co-operative education combines work experience with academic studies. The student spends alternate terms on campus and in study-related jobs.
A major and honors leading to a BSc, and a co-op education program incorporating four work terms, are available in chemistry and related areas. The work practicum requirements are CHEM 306, 307, 406 and 407. Application is at least three months prior to term start in which CHEM 306 is completed. Seek department advice early. A minimum 2.67 CGPA is required to enrol and continue in the co-op major. Higher averages are required an honors in co-op. See “Co-operative Education” on page 212.
