Trouble with second year program
So I'm going into honours math for second year, but I started in life science. To get the requirements for honours math, I took the appropriate courses that matched up with first year math, but this caused me to not get all of the prereqs for first year life sci. So technically I didn't get the courses I needed for first year life sci, but got them for first year math, even though I was never in first year math. The guidance councellor I spoke to instructed me to do all of this, and that they would recognize that I have switched over.

Now here's my concern. It says on the degree audit that I'm not eligible to continue in life sciences (which I know), but says nothing about second year. I'm wondering if this mess will get cleaned up after I go into SOLAR on june 14th or if I need to do something else.

So will I still be able to apply to second year honours math, which I do have the requirements for, even though I technically didn't get my first year prerequisites in life sci? If not, what should I do?

Did you apply to the second year math program that you wanted to get into? Did you get accepted to it (it's in your grade report).

Ahh, I see now. Yes, it says in the grade report I'm eligible for the program. Just wanted that confirmation, thanks.

Yeah, so when you go to select your courses, the first part will be selecting your program.
