Academic requirements for each year?
Hi, I'm in the humanities faculty, going for multimedia.
I am fully aware that the requirements for first years is to complete 30 units in total for the year, to move on to the second year.

This may sound like a stupid question, but my question is, what about the other upper years? In the second, third and fourth year, do they have requirements of completing certain amount of units? I'm just curious to know. Thanks for the help

Whenever you have questions regarding courses/requirements/etc. then always consult the course calendar. the current one is at http://registrar.mcmaster.ca /calen...-14/index.html

Find your program. It should tell you exactly what you need.

Did you see the START video? It should explain course selection and the anatomy of course codes for your section as it did for me. I was completely lost before I came across it.

I believe here is the link; http://www.science.mcmaster. ca/ass...ents/114-start

-All the best,

you don't have to take a certain amount of courses each year, but there are certain courses that you have to take in order to graduate from your program. So you can take all elective courses in second year, but in 3rd year, you would have to take the required second year courses plus required third year courses... do you get what I mean? It's not about what or how many courses you have to take each year, but the overall result. (So for example: in order to graduate, you need courses: 2y03, 2xx3, 3h03, etc..) as long as you have all those, and can keep up with the cutoff averages to continue in your program, you're good. p.s. at the end of first year, when you choose your major, the program requirements will show up on degree audit.

And for your program you have to take 5 courses from Course List 1 and two from Course List 2.
