Choosing your Courses
When you are choosing your second year courses be sure to look at the courses we offer in 3rd and 4th year to see if any that you find interesting have a second year prerequisite. Otherwise, focus on taking courses that you find interesting, courses that are interesting to you will be relevant to your future.

Balancing Your 2nd Year Courses
PSYC 2P01 is unusual in that it is a D1 (full year) half credit course. Because of this, your course load will appear to be unbalanced (you will be enrolled 6 courses one semester, and 5 courses in the other) but you should make sure you register for a total of 5.0 credits.
