Program planners are designed to help students stay on track with course requirements for their degree. A Program Planner will help you keep track of what courses you have already taken, what you still need take and whether you can take that interesting elective you’re curious about.

It is the responsibility of each student to ensure the courses selected meet their degree requirements. All courses and programs are subject to enrolment limitations and may have restrictions, course pre-requisites and published deadlines.

Please note: not all courses are offered every academic year, so taking the time to plan now, may save you time later!

Program planners are available for each program of study in the Faculty of Mathematics & Science. Each planning document should be used as a guide only and are not considered to be an official document.

Details and Instructions

• The planners are organized on the website by Program Requirement Year. The Program Requirement Year is the year a student enters the program as a Major and can be found on your student portal (my.brocku.ca Portal system).
• Students must follow the program outlined in the Brock Undergraduate Calendar under the Student’s Program Requirement Year under the appropriate program (e.g. students who start a Major in September 2024 must follow the program prescribed in the Brock 2024-25 Undergraduate Calendar).
• If changes have been made from the program requirements outlined in the Brock Undergraduate Calendar, the changes are typically reflected on the program planners (e.g. changes in course codes).
• Please note that students who interrupt their studies for one or more years become subject to the Calendar regulations in effect at the time of their re-registration.
• It is recommended that all students complete a program planner prior to booking an appointment for program advising and, that they bring their completed planner with them to the appointment.
• Please contact one of our Academic Advisors if you have questions regarding your academic degree program (Computer Science students may contact [email protected]).
