Bio
alright.
so I'm in a non-science program, wanting to go into a science program. for that, i would need to take bio 1A03, math 1LS3 and enviro 1A03.

i got into math 1ls3 and enviro, but I didnt get accepted into bio 1a03. I know it's a science-only course, but non-science students can take it past level I (and I'm pretty sure that the summer is post-level I)


or am I completely wrong...
help is appreciated, merci

ps. i REALLY want this program, hence I REALLY want this course

The summer is still Level I. When you chose your program right before your course selection you would have noticed that it still says Level I. Contact the Bio department to see if you can get a waiver.

Yeah, summer is definitely still considered Level 1, since you haven't technically registered in a level 2 program yet. You need to contact the bio dept for a waiver, which they generally only do in the summer (and refuse to do during the normal academic year).
