Orgo Prereqs Help!
So I'm trying to sign up for Chem 2OA3
but it says
"You do not have the academic requisites for course: CHEM 2OA3 1 E"

So I looked up the pre-reqs online and it says

Prerequisite(s):
Registration in Honours Chemical Biology. Prerequisite (Beginning 2010-2011): CHEM 1AA3 with a grade of at least C- and registration in Honours Chemical Biology

So you can't take this course unless you're enrolled in Chem Bio?

Um, no, I don't think so

Its possible that the summer course (specifically) is preferential towards chem bio students though.

Could it be that I'm currently enrolled in Chem 1AA3 and haven't completed the course yet?.. this is annoying, I really wanted to take this course during the summer!

Also posted this in the other thread but in case you didn't see..

That Chem Bio requirement is for CHEM BIO 2OA3 (which isn't offered) not CHEM 2OA3.

Edit: The requirements for CHEM 2OA3 are:

Prerequisite(s):
CHEM 1AA3 and registration in an Honours Program. Students with a grade of less than C- in CHEM 1AA3 are encouraged to seek counselling before attempting this course. Prerequisite (Beginning 2010-2011): ISCI 1A24; or CHEM 1AA3 with a grade of at least C- and registration in an Honours program; or CHEM 1AA3, registration in an Honours program and permission of the Department. (See Department Note 2.)

i think u have the wrong pre-req up .. this is 2oa3:
CHEM 2OA3 ORGANIC CHEMISTRY I An introduction to organic chemistry with emphasis on the reactions of functional groups and an introduction to spectroscopic techniques for structure determination.
Three lectures, one lab (three hours) every other week; one tutorial (two hours) every other week; one term
Prerequisite(s): CHEM 1AA3 and registration in an Honours Program. Students with a grade of less than C- in CHEM 1AA3 are encouraged to seek counselling before attempting this course. Prerequisite (Beginning 2010-2011): ISCI 1A24; or CHEM 1AA3 with a grade of at least C- and registration in an Honours program; or CHEM 1AA3, registration in an Honours program and permission of the Department. (See Department Note 2.)


but yes.. i think the reason it wont allow u is because u have not yet completed 1aa3... go see an academic advisor to see if u can get a waiver based on your current marks.. or wait until the course is over

edit: didnt see post above b4 posting

so you can't take this course if you get less than a C- in Chem 1AA3 or is that just a recommendation?

You can still take it, you just need permission.
