Course Descriptions
Details of the undergraduate programmes offered by the Faculty of Science are to be found in Chapter 13.
Prerequisites for a course are a reliable guide to the background necessary for the course. In lieu of the specific courses listed, an equivalent background from Waterloo or elsewhere is acceptable. With consent of the instructor, prerequisites may be waived in exceptional cases.

When selecting Chemistry courses beyond Year 1 Students must obey the following rules, unless specific permission to do otherwise has been granted by their Undergraduate Officer.
1) All Students must have passed the listed prerequisites. In addition students are expected to have successfully completed at least 2 years of their programmes before selecting 300-level courses, and 3 years before selecting 400-level courses. (In some cases, especially where 400-level courses are offered only in alternate years, this rule may be waived with the consent of the instructor).
2
~~
Honours Chemistry Students (all Options, including Co-op) may not take Genera/ Chemistry courses for credit. Honours students from other Sciente Departments should follow the same regulations as Honours Chemistry students unless permission to do otherwise has been approved by their Department Undergraduate Officer.
Course Descriptions _ 249 Chemistry
3) General Chemistry Students (4-year) may not take Core Honours courses but must take the General Programme equivalent e.g. 218 not 212; 226 not 220, etc. General Science (4-year with a Major) students should follow the same regulations as General Chemistry (4-year) students unless permission to do otherwise has been approved by their Department Undergraduate Officer.

—
General Science Students (non-major) may not take Core Honours courses; nor may they take 400-level Chemistry courses (unless the consent of the instructor is obtained). Certain 300-level Chemistry courses may also be excluded - see the specific prerequisites for each course to be sure.
5) Students cannot obtain “Doub/e-Credit"’ for courses which clearly overlap to a significant extent. In particular, no more than 0.5 credit may be obtained within the following groups of Chemistry lecture courses.
=
(212,218); (219,31 3); (26,266,264); (226,220); (227,221); (36,267,364); (312,316); (254,356); (255,366); (358,357); (366,365).
The same principle applies to laboratory courses. If in doubt consult your instructor and Undergraduate Officer.
