How Level II Program Selection Works
Choosing your major happens in Mosaic during the spring of your first year. If you’re considering Honours Social Work, remember that it requires a separate application due February 2 – if you didn’t submit it, don’t select it on Mosaic.
You can verify your choices in Mosaic under My Academics ? My Program while the application is open. Program decisions are released starting in early June. After submitting your choices, take a screenshot for your records. You won’t be able to view your selections once the application closes.
