Are you in the regular nursing program? If so, go here: http://registrar.mcmaster.ca /CALEN...nt/pg1348.html
And click on "Basic (A) Stream). It'll take you to a page with the courses you take each year. S for first year it looks like this:
Level I: 30 units ......
And if you click on each course it'll take you to a course description on the undergrad calendar. Also, you have to take 24 units, meaning you have 3 units for an elective (i.e. 1 half-year elective). You don't get anything in the mail.

Search for electives on this site, and there's a post that gives a pretty detail evaluation of all the bird courses that can be taken at mac..  |

Is it possible to pick electives that are not from your Program as well?
For example, I'm in Psych through Social Science, but I really waant to take the Astronomy course, ASTRON 1F03, which is under Science.
btw: any advice on ASTRON 1F03? is it worth taking? (that's if I can even take it)

Unless you are in engineering you can take any courses where you meet the prerequisites.
