Wondering about course selection? Switching from another program into Ocean Sciences?

Start by reading the calendar. Click Here for a direct link to the Ocean Science section. The calendar lists courses that are required for an undergraduate degree in Ocean Sciences. Choose one of the several degree options, i.e., Major, Double Major, Honours and Minor in Ocean Sciences.
Now map your individual path: Fill in required courses for your chosen degree in the corresponding advising sheets below. The advising sheets help to demystify the calendar and ensure that no requirement is overlooked on your way to graduation. Hardcopies are also available in the Oceanography main office.

The Student Guide from the Registrar’s Office contains information on university regulations, registering for courses and much more.
