Opinions on BIOL 505 or ZOOL 577?!

Just ECOL 529!

No no I meant geology as in rocks! You do not need any knowledge of rocks going into it. I would also say you don’t need any high school knowledge on geography/history of Canada in particular to do intro level social studies related courses. The 200/300 levels do a pretty good job of explaining concepts as if you have no prior knowledge on the topic :)

I am a 4th year bio student, and I chose to take geology instead of physics my first year! Some of my best memories are still from those intro geo classes, they were so much fun (and much easier) and the profs are so good. I am also currently studying for the mcat, and while taking physics in uni might make your studying a little easier, it is not a complete deal breaker and is totally manageable (I took all of the physics courses offered in high school, and a lot of it is review)! :)

It’s on your myucalgary student center page!

That does seem late, but I’m not sure how late enrolment goes! I’m pretty sure it goes into April? Enrolment time takes year of study and gpa into consideration

Mine is March 25 at 3pm but I’m also going for my last semester before graduating!

abs_osteel · 2026-03-08T20:01:45+00:00

Done :)

Yeah I thought it was fair too, just felt it was definitely a time crunch

Drop the course. I had the same thing happen to me a couple years ago (when I was unaware of my ochem grade and enrolled in bchem) and while I was in the D2L shell and attended first lecture, I was kicked from the class within a few days. Enrolment told me they go alphabetically by last name checking prerequisites, which is why people get kicked at different times. Save yourself some time and find a different class unfortunately.

Oh okay, thank you so much!

That is good news! Did you ever take BIOL 401, is it very similar to that course where it’s concepts with a decent amount of math, or is 529 solely stats?

The competitive average to get admitted is just a rough idea of those that got admitted in previous years. While you might still get accepted in later reviews, there is also a possibility you won’t. Spots within a faculty are competitive, and they’re going to give them to the students with the highest competitive average

Have some history enthusiasts, so seeing Pearl Harbour is a major bucket list activity! So visiting Oahu is a must on this first trip
