FAQs for students who fail CHEM 191 and/or HUBS 191

What if I fail CHEM 191 and/or HUBS 191?

CHEM 191 and HUBS 191 are both prerequisites for Semester Two HSFY papers.

Therefore, if you fail one (or both) of these papers, you cannot do HSFY in Semester Two.

You'll need to choose a different programme to enrol in.

Course advisors can discuss options with you.
