Hey, I have a quick question.

My girlfriend wants to minor in french so she took french as her electives.
However, I'm now hearing that minors cannot be a part of your electives as courses you take as your minor are separate from your electives.

I'm wondering if this is true throughout all faculties or just the faculty of engineering, because this is where my source came from.
Thanks!

That's not how it works in science. Your electives are/can be your major. It's weird that this is how it works in Eng. :/

Your electives can be your minor. I think what you said is only for Engineering.
Weird :S

Yeah, my girlfriend's in health sciences and she's told me otherwise.

My friend talked to Sally Williams, who's the academic adviser for Engineering, and this is what he was told when he asked for majoring in math. Which is strange. Thanks for the clarification.

Actually in engineering as well your electives can be used towards a minor. The thing is that most of the time in eng you don't have enough electives to do a minor unless you take the society program.
