Electives
Students can have a maximum of 8.0 first year credits; feel free to register in year 1 courses as electives as long as you haven’t exceeded that limit (if you are a transfer student, check your transfer credits  - those count!). 

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. 

Be Aware of Average Requirements
Different degree options have different average requirements starting in third year, check yours to make sure you are working towards those requirements now. 

​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. The table below gives you a visual representation of your course load.
