1999 Science Handbook - Subject quotas

Subject quotas

Due to resource constraints many popular subjects have quotas imposed on them. Quota selection is normally based on academic merit of students and/or candidature in a designated course and is administered by the relevant faculty or department.
It should be noted that financial constraints may make it necessary to reduce the number of subjects and optional units being offered, although the faculty would only withdraw the offering of any listed subjects in exceptional circumstances.
