• Have completed a minimum of 60 credit units.
• Have an overall Cumulative Weighted Average (CWA) of at least 70%.
• Maintain a minimum average of 70% in their Honours subject area (M4 and M5 courses).

When to Apply:

• Students planning to take the Undergraduate Research course (CPPS 432.6, NEUR 432.6, or BMIS 489.6) must apply to the Honours Program by May of the same year they intend to enroll in the course.

Application Process:

• All Honours Program applications are processed by the Undergraduate Student Office in the College of Arts and Science.
• Students will be notified of their application status via their Usask email, typically by late June, prior to enrollment in the research course.

Course Registration

• Students do not register for the Undergraduate Research course (CPPS 432.6, NEUR 432.6, or BMIS 489.6) during their regular registration window. Students will receive permission to register in the Undergraduate Research course (CPPS 432.6, NEUR 432.6, or BMIS 489.6) once admission to the honours program is confirmed and the BMSC Academic Advisor has been notified of desired supervisor.
• Permissions are typically granted in July and August by the BSMC Academic Advisor.

Deadline:

• The deadline to apply to the Honours Program is May 1st: A&S Honours Application

Students planning to complete an Honours Program must independently secure a faculty supervisor to enroll in the Undergraduate Research course, which is typically completed in the final year of study.

Getting Started

• Start early: Finding a supervisor can be competitive. Begin your search the year before you plan to take the course. On October 15, all students accepted into a major will receive an email with a list of approved potential supervisors.
• Clarify your interests: Identify your research interests and explore the work of potential supervisors in your major.
• Use available resources: Refer to the Tips for Securing a Supervisor document for guidance on writing emails to potential supervisors.

After Securing a Supervisor  

• For CPPS, BMNS, or ID BMSC students enrolling in CPPS 432.6 or NEUR 432.6:
  Email the BMSC Academic Advisor at bmscadvising@usask.ca to confirm your supervisor from the approved list.
• For BMIS or ID BMSC students enrolling in BMIS 489.6:
  Email the BMIS 489.6 course coordinator to supervisor approval. Once approved, the coordinator will notify the BMSC Academic Advisor.

The BMSC Academic Advisor will confirm supervisor approval, verify Honours Program acceptance, and grant registration permission for the research course. Permissions are typically issued in July and August.
