Update recommendations for Students Enrolled Prior to 2019\/20<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Current Standing\/Degree<\/strong><\/h4><\/th>

Recommendation <\/strong><\/h4><\/th>

Rationale<\/strong><\/h4><\/th><\/tr><\/thead>

Second-year
\nHonours or Gen.<\/strong><\/td>		Update<\/td>More elective choices, fewer requirements in second year. No second-year PSYC requirements.<\/td><\/tr>
Third-year
\nGeneral<\/strong><\/td>		Consider updating if you have completed CHST 2000 AND CHST 2503. Seek advice before updating.

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If have not completed CHST 2503 and 2000, updating is not recommended.<\/p><\/td>

An additional credit is needed to meet new third year requirements. If you have not completed the second-year courses, you may find it difficult to meet these requirements.<\/td><\/tr>
Third-year
\nHonours<\/strong><\/td>		Consider updating if you wish to take primarily CHST courses in your third and fourth year and no PSYC.

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you have not completed both CHST 2503 and<\/strong> CHST 2000, you may still update but should seek advice first.<\/p><\/td>

The new major requirements only add 0.5 credits.

<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

NOTE<\/strong>: If you update, completed PSYC and SOCI courses will move to electives. Consider your options for a minor.<\/p><\/td><\/tr>

Fourth-year
\nHonours<\/strong><\/td>		Do not update.<\/td>Missing third-year requirements and additional fourth-year credits may cause problems.<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n
