Enrollment Requirement
Except for those studying the BSc program in Mathematics, BSc program in Mathematics and
Economics, or the Physics and Mathematics Option of the BSc program in Physics, any
undergraduate student with a CGA of 1.85 or above may enroll in the Mathematics Minor
Program. Students must declare their intention to enroll in the minor program no earlier than the
first regular term of their second year but no later than the last day of the add/drop period in the
first regular term of their final year of study. Students who wish to withdraw from the minor
program should apply before the last day of the add/drop period in the first regular term of their
final year of study.
Minor Requirements
To graduate with a minor in Mathematics, students must be enrolled in the minor program, complete a minimum total of 18 credits and all of its requirements, as well as all the requirements of their major program of study; and have attained an average grade point of at least 1.5 in courses taken within the minor program.
For credit transfer, students can transfer a maximum total of 6 credits to the minor program. Courses accepted for credit transfer must normally be at a level equivalent to courses coded above 1600.
Courses used to fulfill the requirements of the Minor Program in Actuarial Mathematics cannot be reused to count towards this Minor Program. For students under the 4-year degree, at least 9 credits out of the total credits required by the minor program should be single-counted within the minor and are not used to fulfill any other requirements for graduation except the 120-credit degree requirement.
