I have a question. For compsci 1md3 it says credit or registration in math 1m03 but when I chose my courses on solar even though I had math 1m03 when I added compsci 1md3 and tried to check the prerequisites it said failed. Why is that?

Strange...

Do you have the prerequisite for Math 1M03?

They've been having problems with prerequisites the entire course selection period. Just call the compsci department and ask for a waiver. They'll give you one. (ext. 27276)

Which prereq did you put in for it, 1F03 or 1K03? 1F03 you still need grade 12, but 1K03 you only need grade 11.

In the Commerce 2 Calendar:

"
3 units from COMMERCE 2SB3, electives from non-Commerce courses.
"

In upper years, it'll say 15 or 18 units instead of 3, depending on the year.

As the guide says:

"
The comma is like an "and". In the example above you are required to take both of these courses to complete prerequisites"

And that's what I thought even before I found this topic and took Commerce 2SB3 for first term of Summer School. I figured it meant "take Commerce 2SB3, and if you have a credit in that, take electives"

Then i get *this* email from my academic advisor:

"
Commerce 2SB3 (non-Commerce elective) is not offered during the upcoming session. Please keep in mind that this course is NOT a requirement for the Commerce Program, and an elective option only."
