TIPS FOR CHOOSING COURSES:
• Admission to Occupational Therapy requires an undergraduate degree. When choosing courses for
first year, please also reference the requirements of your intended first degree, as outlined in this guide.
• Other courses may be considered to fulfill the course requirements listed in the chart. Refer to the
Occupational Therapy eligibility page for the most up-to-date information.
• Statistical analysis and research courses from departments other than Statistics may be considered on
an individual basis in lieu of STAT 1000 (M).
• BIOL 1410, BIOL 1412 are recommended to take in your first year as this is the best opportunity to
obtain space in introductory level courses. Plan to take PSYC 1200 in first or second year, as PSYC 1200
is the prerequisite to PSYC 2290 and PSYC 3070, which are highly recommended. For more course
recommendations in preparation for the program, visit the Occupational Therapy Recommended
Courses page.
• Consider taking HEAL 1600 Health and Health Professions as an elective in your first degree.

TIPS FOR CHOOSING COURSES:
• There are no prerequisites or preferred courses for admission to Law. Any 60 credit hours of university
degree level coursework will be accepted for admission. Choose courses in which you have personal
interest to increase the likelihood of achieving strong grades, as Law admission is competitive. You
may choose your courses from the Recommended Introductory Courses list.
• In choosing your Year 1 courses, consider which faculty or program you want to enter in Year 2. As
many students complete a first degree prior to their admission into law school, it is a good idea to
keep the degree requirements of your second year faculty in mind when choosing courses.
• The Law School Admission Test (LSAT) does not presuppose any specialized knowledge, but is
designed to measure your abilities to read, understand and reason. Choose courses that assist in the
development of these skills.
• You are strongly recommended to register for courses that have a writing component. This will help
you to develop writing and research skills at the post-secondary level.

• Students may take MUSC 1930 Rudiments of Music as an optional course for music experience (cannot
be used for credit towards the degree programs).
• The (W) and (M) degree requirements are not required for admission. Students may consider taking
MUSC 3230 Acoustics of Music to meet the (M) requirement. Consult with a student advisor in the
Faculty of Music if you plan to take this course in year 1.
• There is room for up to 24 credit hours of non-music elective courses in the Music degree, including
the (W) and (M) degree requirements. Choose electives from the Recommended Introductory
Courses list.
• Ensembles are open to students in faculties outside of Music. Ensemble auditions are held each year
