"Up to 24 Units" elective...
... or it WOULD be if I took the typical 30 unit school year only, except I finished a couple extra courses during the summer as well that would have been counted as electives.

Seeing as I have more than 120 units (with the first year units and all) in the end, how would they count it? Would they just take the applicable ones when it comes to considering minors?

Going over 120 is totally all right, yes?

Thanks in advance!

Could you link to where this quote is coming from?

There are certain exceptions to having a massive amount of credits over a certain time period, as well as having an excess of 1st and 2nd year courses; you're going to have to either be more specific or talk to an academic advisor (you should be in contact with one anyways)

Honours Biology (Physiology Specialization) -- Degree audit words it as 'up to 24' as opposed to listing it with numbers.

I would talk to an academic advisor concerning minors. As far as I understand, only 120 units will count towards your degree. But I don't see why units outside of your degree can't count towards minors. If you took all the required courses to get the minors you should be able to declare them. So talk to an academic advisor about it.
