Selection is competitive and enrollment in discipline courses is limited. Meeting the program requirements does not guarantee progression to discipline courses. For this reason, the following criteria is used to determine which students will progress to discipline course. Students will be ranked according to the number of natural science and general education courses required for the program that have been successfully completed (see table below). Please note that there is no waiting list.
