Title: Coordinator approval to take a subject prerequisite concurrently?
Post by: Starlight on July 11, 2012, 03:40:12 pm
In hindsight, I probably should have done physics fundamentals this year (first year). However in looking at the handbook for the vet science second year requirements (foundations of animal health 1, foundations of animal health 2, biochemistry and molecular biology) it states that physics is a prerequisite. I emailed an EPSC student advisor and they said you'd have to email the coordinator to take physics concurrently (whilst in semester 1 if I did choose the subjects as mentioned above). Should it be alright or will they not allow me to do this?

I'm assuming physics is a perquisite for foundations of animal health 1? I think the best thing to do right now would be to email the coordinator of this subject (you can get their information from the handbook) like the student advisor said. I personally believe it should be okay but it's best to confirm this.

Yeah it's a prereq if you didn't do vce physics. I might email them when i'm a little more sure of my major i guess lol

Should be okay, they'll probably look at your marks to determine whether you are able to do it. I'm doing design project for chem eng without having done PED which is a core pre-req haha
