        * All elective courses need to be transferable to at least one BC university. In the course description, this is indicated by (T).
        * Students transferring to the University of Victoria (UVIC) for the Physics and Mathematics program, UVIC requires one additional 100-level Chemistry course.
        * Students transferring to the University of BC (UBC), Simon Fraser Univerisity (SFU) or the University of Northern BC (UNBC) should contact an Academic Advisor.

    Completion Requirements

    The course requirements for the Associate Degree program credential are mandated by the provincial government. You must complete a total of 20 university transfer courses, and achieve an overall GPA of 2.0 ("C"), to obtain an Associate of Science Degree in Mathematics and Physics. No course may be used to meet more than one of the specific requirements; 25% of your courses must be completed at Camosun College.
