Students pursuing a bachelor of science with a major in physics, environmental physics or ocean physics, will normally take the following courses in their first year:

1. If you are completing Mathematics 1090/1000, you will be required to complete Mathematics 1001 as well.
2. If you are registered in Physics 1050, you must also be registered in (or have credit for) Mathematics 1000 (not 1090). If you are registered in Physics 1051, you must also be registered in (or have credit for) Mathematics 1001. You will be required to complete Physics 1051. You are eligible to take Physics 1051 if you complete Physics 1050 with at least 50%, Physics 1020 with at least 70%, or Physics 1021 with at least 50%.  Physics 1051 is also offered in the spring semester.
3. If you are not able to register for Chemistry 1050 in the fall semester, you can take Chemistry 1010 in the fall, Chemistry 1050 in the winter semester, and Chemistry 1051 in the spring Semester. Students attending Grenfell Campus will normally complete Chemistry 1200/1001 in their first year.
