Physics 1L03's pre-reqs are:

One of Grade 12 Advanced Functions U, Grade 12 Advanced Functions and Introductory Calculus U, MATH 1K03

It doesn't say anything about completing Physics in highschool. As long as you've taken Advanced Fundctions or Calculus then you can take 1L03.
However, Physics 1B03, by looking at the Course Calendar,
clearly states that you need:
Quote:
One of Grade 12 Physics U, PHYSICS 1L03, 1P03; and one of Grade 12 Calculus and Vectors U, MATH 1F03; and credit or registration in SCIENCE 1A00
|
Therefore, if you want to take 1B03 you will need the highschool math that is required, and then either (a) have taken and passed Grade 12 physics U and have the credit, or (b) have already taken Physics 1L03.
Thus if you DIDN'T pass physics in highschool, you'd have to take Physics 1L03 in first semester, and then 1B03 in second semester... as Physics 1L03 would be required.
However, if you did pass physics in highschool, then you don't need to take 1L03 in order to take 1B03 since you have the highschool physics requirement, and you could therefore take 1B03 in first semester... or take both 1L03 AND 1B03 in first semester if you really wanted to take both. However, first-year LIFE SCI only requires you to take 1 of those physics so you don't have to take both.
