Should I enrol in ECO100Y or ECO105Y?
Students who intend to pursue a minor, major or specialist program in Economics should take ECO100Y. ECO105Y is an introductory course for students who do not intend to take further courses in Economics. It may also be used for some programs, such as International relations and Peace & Conflict Studies. A grade of 80% or higher in ECO105Y does allow students to continue in some, but not all, Economics programs.

I had a low grade in ECO100Y/105Y. Can I enrol in upper year ECO courses or subject POSts?
Students who pass ECO100Y or ECO105Y but do not obtain the required minimum grade to enrol in 200-level ECO courses or in an ECO subject POSt CANNOT enrol in upper year ECO courses or subject POSts. The only way to do so is to obtain the required grade in ECO 100 (or ECO 105) by repeating the course. If students repeat ECO100Y or ECO105Y, it will appear as an "extra course" on the transcript and will not be included in the student's CGPA. The final mark can only be used to qualify for admission to higher level courses and subject POSts.
