Program Information
- BIOL 302 & 303 have been replaced with BIOL 304 & 306. If you have taken either BIOL 302 or 303 in the past then you would take BIOL 306.
- BIOC 300 satisfies the BIOL 201 and BIOC 302 requirements
- STAT 200 maybe taken instead of BIOL 300 if taken before the end of 2nd year.
- Students doing a double major or minor in Arts Psychology may take PSYC 218 as a replacement for BIOL 300 but will be required to take an additional 3 credits in MATH/STAT/CPSC to satisfy the Faculty of Science Computational Science requirement.
- BIOL 240 is no longer a required course for Combined Computer Science & Biology Majors and Honours options
Transfer Students
- Due to curricular differences among institutions some transfer students may not have the necessary requirement to apply for admission. If you appear to be missing a requirement please contact the Biology Office as soon as you have been admitted into the Faculty of Science.
- Not all courses transfer as direct equivalents to UBC courses and maybe given only unspecified credit. Program advisors can often help apply these to your program.
- When transferring from another university you may find that some 2nd year courses will be accepted as replacements for upper level courses.When replacing upper level credits with lower level credits you must make sure you still satisfy the 48 upper level requirement.
- Transfer students with 7 credits of 1st year Biology with exemptions for BIOL 111, 121 and 140 do not need to take BIOL 112 for their Biology degree. However, BIOL 112 or MICB 201 is required for
subsequent
courses in Microbiology(i.e. MICB 202, etc).
- Transfer students with two terms of 2nd year chemistry with lab (eg. CHEM 203 & CHEM 204) are exempt from CHEM 205.

Registration Notices
- If you are having problems registering into courses, labs, tutorials, or wait lists please keep trying or attempt to redo your timetable - Do not contact advisors about course registrations or admissions
Blocked Courses & Wait-lists
- If a course is blocked, it is because the course is full and there is a wait-list to get into the course
- Most Biology courses have wait-lists and there is a "W" in the section number to identify the wait-list from the course
- If a student has a conflict with the wait-list they are on they will be dropped from the wait-list.
Exchange
Students intending to go on Exchange in their 3rd year must obtain permission from the Director of Biology, Dr. Martin Adamson, to defer the Physiology requirement or to obtain permission to take equivalent course(s) at their exchange institution. Please submit requests to the Biology Office. |
