I think it means that it's been cancelled. What course is it?

It might have been cancelled. Give the biology department a call right now, just call McMaster and ask for the bio department.

Bio 2A03 is also blocked. I doubt it would be cancelled since it is required for the physiology specialization. Is there any other reason besides cancellation that would cause a course to be blocked?

On the MTT for 2B03, it says SSR Add Block, but I have no idea what that means.

The biology department is the only place that should know why the courses are blocked.

I might mean they aren't accepting any new people... but why that's different from full and why it warrants a special note on the timetable I have no idea.

Actually, it can't have anything to do with being full, I switched my term last night.

Mac has probably fired the biology department to save money.

Just got an email back from the counselor . The courses that have been blocked are to prevent any additional enrollment. Anyone currently in the class is still enrolled.
