What this opens up

1 course list CHI103H5 as a prerequisite

CHI104H5Introductory Chinese II

Listing a course here means it names CHI103H5 among its prerequisites — often as one of several ways to satisfy the same requirement, so this is what CHI103H5 makes available, not what it alone guarantees.

Everything above is history. Yours isn’t written yet.

Add CHI103H5 and the Fall 2026 weighting loads with it — Pyko tracks what you've earned and solves for what the final has to be.
