Biopsych students can't minor in biochemistry?
A minor in biochemistry needs at least 12 units (4 courses) above level 1 taken as electives, in the following structure:

6 units from CHEM 1A03, 1AA3 (See Note 2 above.)
6 units CHEM 2OA3, 2OB3 (See Note 1 above.)
6 units from BIOCHEM 2B03, 2BB3, 2EE3, 3D03, 3G03, HTH SCI 2E03
6 units Levels III, IV Biochemistry (See Note 3 above.)

However, the biopsych program lists CHEM 2OA3, CHEM 2OB3, and BIOCHEM 3G03 as required courses. Because BIOCHEM 2B03 and 2BB3 are anti-requisites of BIOCHEM 3G03 (which biopsych students need to take), and BIOCHEM 3D03 is an anti-requisite of BIOCHEM 2EE3, a student is effectively limited to taking ONLY BIOCHEM 2EE3 OR 3D03 as an elective for the third row requirements. Thus, the student can have at most have three level 2-4 elective biochemistry courses within the 24 unit minor requirement, which unfortunately does not pass the conditions for the minor.
