The site I usually go to, to check the courses and the units I need for my program (chem eng), had a change made to it with respect to the no. of units to have.

It now mentions 33-36 units, compared to just 36 up until yesterday.

What does this mean?

What if I take only 33 instead of 36?

Thnx in adv.

This is because you have options to take different classes that are worth different amounts. I think you are referring to third year where you have the option of taking chem 2E03 or both chem 2OA3 and chem 2OB3. If you just take chem 2E03 you will have 33 units for the year and that is perfectly fine, but you also have the option of taking chem 2OA3 and chem 2OB3 which would put you at 36 units for the year.

Nope don't think that's how it works.

In third year you have to take 9 units. You just have a choice whether you take orgo I and orgo II + something else or chem 2e03 + 2 other courses.

Also OP does your website match this?
