Bachelor of Health Sciences (BHSc) Honours in Bioinformatics

Students in the Cumming School of Medicine are governed by the regulations in this section of the Calendar as well as by the general University regulations in the sections titled Admissions and University Regulations. For the precise interpretation of any statement or regulation, students should feel free to contact the Associate Dean (Undergraduate Health and Science Education), the O'Brien Centre for the BHSc Office, Cumming School of Medicine. The Associate Dean (UHSE) is responsible for all undergraduate BHSc student affairs in the School.

Enrolment Limitations

Enrolment limits may be in effect for some courses in the Cumming School of Medicine and the Faculties of Science and Arts.

Immunization Requirements

All BHSc students are required to meet an immunization standard as outlined on the Student Immunization Form checklist. Documented proof of completion must be provided to the Immunization Co-ordinator or delegate prior to commencement of the program.

Throughout the BHSc program, students are required to ensure that immunizations are current and must provide proof of updates to the Cumming School of Medicine Immunization Co-ordinator. Failure to do so will result in students being removed from course-based research environments, or being placed in an alternate environment until such time as adequate proof has been provided. In the event of extenuating medical circumstances impacting immunization status, students may be accommodated in non-Alberta Health Services-affiliated environments. Please note that requirements may change during the program as determined by Alberta Health Services guidelines.
