are we allowed to do a double MINOR
I'll be switching into commerce this september. I want to major in finance and currently im working towards an econ minor. Though I really like econ, I feel my heart lies in doing a math minor.

I just can't decide between them. I was in engineering so I only need 6 upper year math courses and only 3 more econ courses for a minor.

Because Im switching majors, I don't think I will be able to graduate on time...I'll probably end up taking another semester with like 1 course. so i was thinking I might as well take a full load in this extra semester.

NOW i just want to know do they even allow two minors?

To be honest, I don't know how many minors you can fill in on your graduation card in 4th year, but technically it can be possible. You probably need 24 credits in both for them to be considered minors. This might be tough if you're also doing a major, which is typically 120 units if you're doing honours.

Take a look at the undergraduate calender, and plan out your remaining years and see if you can fit it all. It might also be a good idea to ask an academic advisor to help with the planning bit, they may have suggestions -- and will be able to tell you for sure if you can double minor.

Just so you know, a minor isn't listed on your diploma, it's only awarded based on credits. So basically, you know you have a minor, but it doesn't really matter in the end.

That being said, I believe you can declare two of them, yes.
