Courses full
Im going into honours life science and some courses I need are full

Chem 20B3
Bio 20C3
Physics 1B03

I cant even complete a timetable because there are no open slots in these courses. Do I have to contact the each department?

Those are courses that I guarantee will open up in the near future.

Actually, none of those is required for honours life sci, so since you don't need them to graduate you aren't guaranteed a seat in them.

However, as Silver said, it's very very likely that seats will open up before term starts.

If you are guaranteed a spot in the course (as in a mandatory class for your degree) don't fret. Talk to your academic adviser and they'll get you in. If not them they might throw you to the department teaching that course. If you aren't then you are going to have to wait for an open slot or trade.
