Course Conflicts

No course conflicts will be approved without completion of the Faculty of Science Course Conflict form.

Completed course conflict forms should be submitted to the Office of the Associate Dean (Undergraduate Studies) by email (science@mcmaster.ca) or in-person at BSB 129.”

Waivers


All School of Interdisciplinary Science courses require students to have the prerequisite courses to enroll.

  • It is the instructor’s discretion as to whether course prerequisites may be waived. No exceptions to this rule will be made.

**Please note that a waiver does not guarantee a seat in a course but only the opportunity to attempt to obtain a seat.

Waivers will be reviewed per the dates and deadlines noted on the last page of the online form. Do not email asking of the status of your waiver. Please note, waivers for students outside of the Life Sciences program will be reviewed only on or after August 15th. Waiver Request
