Yes, e-mail the department and explain your situation. Tell them that you need 1P03 to get into the program for next year with the courses you listed there. They will most likely open a seat for you. Good luck!

Yeah, confirming your payment agreement is fine. Just remember to "re-confirm" when you change/drop/add courses.

Hmm, what program are you trying to get into for next year? I think you said something about Psychology in the other thread, well you can contact the Psych department or contact the academic advisor of the faculty you're in now.

Or you can even contact the professor, Kajiura, but it's better to contact the department.

I'd call them. Calling is always faster than email.

But it is worth sending an e-mail since they are closed. They may answer early in the morning when they open. It's always a possibility.

Yeah, I e-mailed a professor once at 1 AM, and she got back to me at 8 AM.

You shouldn't worry about it. It isn't too hard of a process to get them to open up a spot for you, and the science advisers who deal with that are all really understanding.

I would recommend emailing both your own faculty, and the Faculty of Science.

And if you go even deeper, you can contact the department. It should be a faster reply.

It just means you don't have the requirements for these courses.

For both Biology 1M03 and Psych 1XX3, you need a grade 12 Biology. Did you take it in highschool? If you didn't, the equivalent is Biology 1P03.

As for Math 1M03, you needed "One of Grade 12 Calculus and Vectors U, Grade 12 Advanced Functions and Introductory Calculus U, MATH 1F03 or 1K03"

So if you didn't do any of these high school courses, you need to take Biology 1P03, in addition to Math 1K03 or 1F03 in first term.

If you did take these courses in highschool, then contact the department of Psychology or the faculty of Social Sciences.
