Computer Science FAQ

1. How do I get to study Computer Science at Memorial?
	
	
All students who intend to study Computer Science at Memorial University begin a general B.A. or B.Sc. degree. To apply to become a student, please see the university's Admissions page, and please contact advice@mun.ca if you have any questions about the process.
Once you have been successfully accepted to study at Memorial then you can start taking the courses necessary to apply for entry into the Computer Science major programs.
	
	
2. What computer hardware do I need to study Computer Science?
	
	
There's no formal specification for a computer needed to study Computer Science, and we have machines available in our labs for students to use for coursework and projects. But for online study and collaboration you will need a computer at home, as well as things such as a webcam, headset and microphone. And our courses involve a lot of programming.
So we recommend:
A PC with Windows 10, or a Mac with macOS 11 or higher that is comfortable running modern applications, such as the most recent versions of Microsoft Office, Visual Studio, and IDLE/BlueJ/Eclipse
Processor: quad core Intel i5 or higher, AMD 3xxx series
16GB RAM
256GB SSD
Webcam, plus Headset with microphone for listening to audio/video materials or participating in online activities.
A Chromebook is not recommended.
Some optional third and fourth year Computer Science courses involve the use of technologies such as Unity Engine and CUDA, and students taking those courses usually purchase their own computer capable of supporting those kinds of technology so that they can work on projects at home. However we have computers available in our labs that students can use for such projects, so it's not necessary for your own computer to be that high-level. And right now, given that technonology requirements can change rapidly in the fields of visual computing and gaming, we can't say what a good computer would be for those courses in two or three years' time.
	
	
3. What are the eligibility requirements for the major and minor programs?
	
	
 CS Major: This is the set of courses that must be completed before you can apply to become a CS Major:
Computer Science 1001, 1002:
A minimum of 65% in each course is required.
Six credit hours in Critical Reading and Writing (CRW) courses, including at least 3 credit hours in English courses.
Mathematics 1000 and 1001 (or 1090 and 1000).
Six credit hours in other courses.
CS Minor: This is the set of courses that must be completed before you can apply to become a CS Minor:
Computer Science 1001, 1002:
A minimum of 65% in each course is required.
Mathematics 1000.
Students who fulfill the eligibility requirements compete for a limited number of available spaces. See Frequently Asked Questions #7 and #8 for more details
	
	
4. How do I apply for the major?
	
	
There are two rounds of admission per year, for Fall and Winter.
When applications are open you can apply for the major by submitting an online application form.
For Fall admission: Applications open on March 1st and close 11:59pm on May 31st.
For Winter admission: Applications open on August 1st and close 11:59pm on August 31st.
⚠︎ We do not accept late applications.
Students will be notified of the outcome of their application approximately 4 to 5 weeks after the deadline.
	
	
5. If I start Memorial in January, is there any way to be eligible for Fall admission into the CS major?
	
	
No. The minimum eligibility requirements must be completed before you can apply for the major, and there is no way to complete them before the May 31st deadline. But if you complete the requirements in Spring semester then you will be eligible to apply for Winter admission. See the previous question for how to do that.
	
	
6. What happens if I’m not eligible for the Major by the application deadline, or if I’m not accepted into the program?
	
	
The first thing to note is that you cannot apply for the CS major if you haven’t completed all the required courses.
Some students do not have all the required courses taken by either the May 31st or August 31st deadlines for application. If that applies to you then you can keep taking 1000 level CS courses, and electives, and apply to enter the program in the following year. Several of our current CS majors have done that. Remember, you need to take many non-CS electives to complete a degree, so you can still plan a full workload.
⚠︎ 2000 level and higher COMP courses are reserved for CS majors and minors. Those courses fill with students in the CS programs. Students not accepted into a CS program are not going to be able to secure spaces in those courses.
Students who applied to enter the CS Major but were not accepted should book an appoitnment with an academic advisor about the next steps in their degree.
	
	
7. What is the selection criterion for admission to the major and minor?
	
	
Selection will be based on cumulative average in all courses in all subjects.
	
	
8. What’s the minimum average grade required for acceptance?
	
	
There are a limited number of spaces in our programs, so there is no minimum average grade that can guarantee acceptance.
In recent years we have seen a large increase in the number of students applying for entry into our programs. Many more students apply than there are spaces available, so selection is competitive.
For recent application rounds an 'A' average was needed to be successful. We cannot say what score will be needed in future rounds, because it depends on the scores of others who apply, but it's likely to be at least an 'A' again.

9. What courses should I take in my first year?
	
	
We suggest that potential Computer Science majors take these courses in their first year.
	
	
10. Can I use English 1020 and 1021 to satisfy the CRW requirement?
	
	
Students who started taking courses at Memorial University in 2017 or earlier are permitted to use these courses to satisfy the CRW requirement.  Students who began their studies in 2018 or later must take CRW courses following current regulations.
	
	
11. I noticed that COMP1002 is credit restricted with MATH2320. Does this mean that I can take MATH2320 for the CS Major, instead of COMP1002?
	
	
No. The courses have large overlap, but they serve different purposes. So you must take COMP1002 for the CS Major.
MATH2320 contains content and activities aimed at Math students. It is a 2000-level course that requires MATH prerequisite courses be taken beforehand.
COMP1002 is required for completion of a CS major. It is an entry-level course with no prerequisites, designed to be taken in your first or second semester. It contains content and activities that are tailored for the needs of CS students going into later CS courses.
	
	
12. I might not be able to take COMP1003 until the start of my second year. Am I getting behind schedule?
	
	
Not at all! You're right on track.
Many students take COMP1001 in their first semester, COMP1002 in their second semester (or the other way round) and then take COMP1003 in their second year of studies, to give themselves a balanced load.
Remember, CS students don't just take CS courses. You still need to take plenty of non-CS electives to be eligible to apply for the CS Major programs and to complete your degree.
So you can take COMP1003 at the start of your second year as part of a full course schedule. And then move on to courses such as COMP2001, COMP2002 and COMP2003 in the following semester.
	
	
13. What is the difference between a B.A. in Computer Science and B.Sc. in Computer Science?
	
	
The Computer Science and Math course requirements are the same for both a B. A and B. Sc. in Computer Science. If you pursue a B.Sc. you will be required to take additional courses in a variety of science subjects, if you pursue a B. A. you will be required to take additional HSS courses in a variety of subjects (including at least two courses in a language) and you will need to complete a minor (a group of courses in a particular subject).
Regulations for a Bachelor of Science 
Regulations for a Bachelor of Arts
Regulations for a Bachelor of Science 
Regulations for a Bachelor of Arts
	
	
14. If I’m doing a B.Sc., which courses should I take to satisfy the science elective requirement?
	
	
As part of a B.Sc. you are required to do courses in at least four science subjects (regulation 4.6.2), and you are required to complete six credit hours in a science subject other than CS and math (regulation 4.3.1.c).
The subjects that can be considered science electives are Biochemistry, Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, Earth Sciences, Economics, Geography, Mathematics and Statistics, Ocean Sciences, Physics, or Psychology.
	
	
15. What are the important dates and deadlines that I should be aware of each semester?
	
	
You need to know when registration opens, when fees are due, when the semester starts and ends, the last dates to join and drop courses, and when exams are taking place.
We recommend that you bookmark this page, which lists all those important dates and deadlines, and more.
	
	
16. How can I track my degree progress?
	
	
There is considerable flexibility in the programs offered at Memorial, so please see this page for how to find out what you need to do to complete your degree, and how and when to apply to graduate.
	
	
17. How do I request a formal degree audit?
	
	
It is your responsibility to ensure that you fulfil all the requirements of your chosen program. In your sixth semester or earlier, you should request a degree audit from the Office of the Registrar to determine your program status.
	
	
18. Can you receive a degree in more than one of the streams?
	
	
No, you cannot receive a degree in more than one of the Smart Systems, Visual Computing and Gaming or Data-centric Computing streams.
However, Memorial University can add a further credentials notation if a student has completed the requirements for an additional CS major stream (for example if a student graduates with the Smart Systems then we can add a notation for the Visual Computing and Gaming, and vice versa). The further credentials notation does not change the degree awarded or the parchment received, but is a notation on the transcript under the degree awarded that the additional major requirements have been completed.
If you would like to get this notation you will need to email science_registrar@mun.ca once you have graduated with your degree and ask for verification that the requirements are completed. Once the Registrar’s Office confirms the requirements are completed then the notation will be added.
	
	
19. How do I apply for honours?
	
	
Students who wish to be admitted to the Honours program must have already been accepted into the CS Major and have completed all Computer Science core courses (Computer Science 1001, 1002, 1003, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, and 2008) and obtained in these courses a grade of "B" or better, or an average of 75% or higher.
Admission is competitive and selective. Selection is based on academic performance in the courses listed above.

There are two rounds of admission per year, for Fall and Winter. When applications are open you can apply by submitting an online application form.
More information about the program can be found here.
	
	
20. How does the CICS program work?
	
	
See here for information about the CICS program, including eligibility requirements, competitive admission, examples of work-term employers, and so on.  Also see the University Calendar.
	
	
21. How do I apply to graduate?
	
	
You must apply to graduate, it is not a process that happens automatically. The graduation timeline varies depending on which semester you complete your program requirements. To figure out how and when you should apply to graduate, visit the Registrar’s Offices Steps to Graduate website.
Yes, you can, but only exceptional candidates will be accepted. An endorsement from a prospective supervisor at MUN will be very helpful.
Do you require the GRE test?
GRE test is highly recommended but not required.
Do you require the TOEFL or IELTS test from international students?
Yes. See here ( go to "Proof of English proficiency") for details and exception from this requirement.
Can I contact faculty members before submitting my application?
Yes, you can, but be very specific about your proposed area of research and why you intend to work with the contact person. E-mails of the form "Dear sir [no name specified]. I am very impressed with your research [no area mentioned] and your publications [no specific reference]. It was always my dream to study at your world renowned university. I am interested in doing research in the area of Data Bases, Graphics, AI, Software Engineering, Robotics or Programming Languages [make up your mind]" are left unanswered.
I already hold a Master's degree in Computer Science from another university. Can I still apply for admission to your Master's program?
Yes, you can, but such applications are usually not viewed very favourably.
Can you inform me about the tuition fees?
You can find the relevant information here. Master's students (both thesis and course/project route) select the option A (6 semesters). Ph.D. students pay the regular fee over the period of 12 semesters. If you program takes more than 2 years (M.Sc.) or more than 4 years (Ph.D.), there is an additional continuance fee. 
Will I receive funding when admitted to your program?
Funding is usually available to our M.Sc. (thesis route) and Ph.D. students, but cannot be guaranteed.
If no funding is available, can I still get admission?
Yes, sometimes admission to the M.Sc. (thesis route) and Ph.D. programs is made without funding. Also, admission into the M.Sc. (course/work term route) typically does not involve funding. If you are an international student, you will have to show to Canadian Immigration that you have other funds available to support yourself when studying at Memorial. This might be difficult.
If I accept admission without funding, can I apply for funding after my arrival in St. John's?
Normally no financial package is made available to students who accept admission without funding.
I am interested in area XYZ. Which professor should I contact?
Visit the web pages from our professors and identify their research areas before applying. A good starting point is here.
Can I apply into the Ph.D. program right after completeing my Bachelor degree?
Trully exceptional students with a completed Bachelor degree (but not a M.Sc. degree) have the option of fast-tracking into the Ph.D. program. Such students must apply to our thesis based M.Sc. program. After demonstrating to the satisfaction of the Department their ability to pursue research at the Doctoral level, they may be transferred into the Ph.D. program (after 12 months).
BIOCHEMISTRY FAQ
Admission FAQs
 
How do I apply?
You can complete the  departmental form online. We will then complete and submit the "Declaration/Change of Academic Program" form to the Registrar's Office for you.
You can  complete the "Declaration/Change of Academic Program" form and bring or email it to the Biochemistry Advising Office for signature. 
When should I apply?
We accept applications any time, but...
In general, you should apply towards the end of the winter semester of your first year in University. We will hold all forms until the results of the winter semester examinations are released. We then evaluate them and send them to the Registrar's Office.
You should apply before May 31st so that we can process all applicants before the start of Fall registration.
How will I know if I am admitted?
We will send you an email to let you know when we have processed your application. You should also check StudentWeb to see if your records have been updated.
What courses do I need?
You should have completed 10 first-year courses which should include 6 credit hours in CRW (3 credit hours must be in English), 2 courses in Chemistry, and either 2 courses in Physics or 2 courses in Biology. You also need either 1 or 2 courses in Mathematics (depending on which of our majors you intend to apply for and what level of Mathematics you have completed).
Students who applied unsuccessfully for admission to Pharmacy and who do not have the 6 credit hours in CRW will be considered. If you are admitted to one of our programs, you will have to take the missing CRW(or English) course.
What grades do I need?
You need a minimum overall average of 60% in the eight courses mentioned above. If for the Biochemistry (Nutrition) program you only needed one Mathematics course, then we count an elective as the eighth course.
What do I do if I didn't take Physics in first year?
Not a big problem but you must take it in second year. Physics is required as a prerequisite for the core Biochemistry courses that you should be taking in the Winter semester of your second year. If you are not (yet) a major but (i) we know that you intend to be one and (ii) we see that you intend to register for all of the courses that should take as a major, you will generally be able to register using a drop-and-add form. You will need to speak to one of the advisors in the Biochemistry Advising Office in order to do this.

Honours FAQs
 
Should I do an honours degree?
It depends.
If you plan on pursuing a career in research then you should give serious consideration to completing an honours degree. Many graduate programs require that you have one.
 
If you have good marks and are strong academically, then you should also give serious consideration to completing an honours programme.
 
If you plan on attending professional schools (such as medicine, dentistry) then check the admission requirements. Some schools may give preference to candidates with honours degrees.
 
If you are hoping that an honours degree will enhance an otherwise not-very-good academic record and help you get into professional school, then you should probably think twice.
 
An honours degree programme is demanding and rigorous. There is nothing worse than starting an honours project and then, six months later, discovering that you are bored by the project and can't stand being in the lab any more. The final month of writing, and re-writing, and re-writing, a dissertation will stress you more than you realise. You must be committed to the programme and to your project to the bitter end!
 
Do I need research experience to do honours?
It does help if you do have some previous experience working in a lab.  If you have become familiar with laboratory protocols and procedures, you will be able to get your honours research underway quicker and with less of a learning curve.
 
If you do not have previous experience, you can still do honours.  Your supervisor will probably design a project for you taking that into account.
 
Some ways that you can obtain prior experience working in a lab are through MUCEP positions, summer jobs, or summer placements through NSERC USRAs or SURAs.  Check the links below for information on these programs:
 
MUCEP
NSERC Undergraduate Student Research Awards
SURA
USSIP 
  
When should I apply for honours?
We will accept applications from exceptional students after they have completed their second year - which, in most cases, will be the end of the first year in one of our programs.
 
In most cases, however, students apply at the end of their third year at University. By then, you will have completed half a dozen or so Biochemistry courses and we will have a good basis on which to assess your ability.
 
In some cases, students apply for honours after graduating with a general degree.
 
At present there is no deadline for application. We process applications throughout the year. However, we would encourage students to declare honours standing no later than July 01 each year.
 
What grades do I need to apply for honours?
Simply put: you must have good marks!
 
For early admission to Honours standing in Biochemistry, you need at least 70% in Biochemistry 2200, Biochemistry 2201, Chemistry 2400, and Chemistry 2401. For early admission to Honours standing in Biochemistry(Nutrition), you need at least 70% in Biochemistry 2005, Biochemistry 2200, Biochemistry 2201, and Chemistry 2400.
For early admission to Honours standing in Biochemistry, you need at least 70% in Biochemistry 2200, Biochemistry 2201, Chemistry 2400, and Chemistry 2401. For early admission to Honours standing in Biochemistry(Nutrition), you need at least 70% in Biochemistry 2005, Biochemistry 2200, Biochemistry 2201, and Chemistry 2400.
 
For admission to Honours standing in Biochemistry at the end of third year, you must have either a 75% average or else at least a "B" in every required Biochemistry and Chemistry course that you have taken.
 
For admission to Honours standing in Biochemistry(Nutrition) at the end of third year, you must have either a 75% average or else at least a "B" in every required Biochemistry course that you have taken.
 
How do I apply for honours?
You must complete this form and bring it to the department's General Office (SN4006) for processing. If you meet our requirements for honours standing, we will admit you and send the form to the Registrar's Office. They will change your standing on Student Self-Service.  We will also notify you whether your application has been succesful or not.
 
What marks do I need to stay in Honours standing?
Best advice we can give: Never get a "C" or worse - particularly in Biochemistry or Chemistry courses.
 
In general, it is much easier to get a "B" in all of your required courses than it is to maintain a 75% average in those courses.
 
What happens if you do get a "C"?
You may have to repeat the course. But, you should know that you can repeat or substitute at most THREE courses for an honours degree.
 
How do I get a supervisor?
By asking them.
 
By the end of third year you will have developed a taste for biochemistry, which parts you like and which parts you dislike.
 
You should also start to get to know the types of research carried out by faculty in this and other related departments. Look at our faculty web pages; see what we do; see what you would like to do. Then go and ask a faculty member if they have space for a new honours student. Some will say no; some will say yes.
 
If you are unsure, you might be able to get a MUCEP position in a lab so that you can test the waters to see if you like a particular type of research.
 
When you visit faculty on this type of mission, bring a photocopy of your transcript and a brief resume or CV.
 
If you would like further help with this, please visit the Biochemistry Advising Office.
 
What should I know about Joint Honours programs?
They are very good programs, they are very demanding programs, and they are incredibly difficult to schedule.
 
We offer five joint honours programs with other departments. All are excellent. However, it also true that course clashes are almost inevitable. If you decide to take a joint honours program, you should consult with us early and often so that we can help you navigate through the course possibilities.

We strongly recommend that you also have a fall-back honours option in mind from the very beginning. Know which of the two partners is the program that you will follow if the joint program proves impossible.
 
You apply for honours in exactly the same way as above; the only difference is that you must be approved by both departments of the joint program. It is possible that you would get approved by one department before you would get approved by the other.
 
You must also decide in which of the two departments you will do your honours research.
 
Program FAQs
 
 
What programs can I take?
The department offers TWO different undergraduate Major programs, TWO Honours programs, and a minor program.
 
Can I do a joint major in biochemistry and something else?
No, and yes. There are no official joint majors programs between biochemistry and another subject discipline. However, if you complete the requirements of a second major, you may ask the Registrar to include a note on your official transcript to that effect.
 
What electives should I take?
This is almost impossible to answer.
 
Electives are your opportunity to broaden your own University education in ways that interest you. You may wish to take electives that would allow you to complete a minor. This is easier for some subjects than for others. You may wish to take courses in an area that is completely new to you. You may wish to develop your language skills. Or you may wish to take closely related science courses to increase the breadth and depth of your knowledge.
 
Ask yourself: what else do I want to learn in University? Then plan out your electives accordingly.
 
Can I take Chemistry 2400/2401 in the Nutrition program?
Yes.
 
I didn't do Physics in 1st year - can I still do Biochemistry?
Yes, but you must complete your physics courses in 2nd year. A second physics course is a co-requisite for Biochemistry 2201 Introduction to Biochemistry. As long as you do this in the winter semester of your second year, you should not fall behind.
 
Can I do a major in Biochemistry with a minor in Nutrition?
No. Biochemistry and Nutrition are considered to be the same subject area and you are therefore not permitted to a major in one with a minor in the other. [Regulation 4.1.5]
Specific Course FAQs
 
 
Can I get a prerequisite waiver for Biochemistry 2201?
NO!
 
You must pass one course in Organic Chemistry (either Chemistry 2400 or Chemistry 2440) before you will be admitted to Biochemistry 2201. No pass, no admission!
 
 
 
Do I have to repeat the labs in Biochemistry ####?

Do I have to repeat the labs in Biochemistry ####?
If you are repeating a lecture plus lab course, (example: Bioc3402),  - either because you failed it the first time or because you want to improve your mark - then, IF you obtained a lab mark of 70% or better the previous time that you took the course, you will be excused the labs. We will use your previous lab mark in computing your new mark.
 
There's a time limit, though.  You must repeat the course within 5 years of taking it.
 
If you are repeating a lab only course, (example: Bioc2901, 3906, 3907), lab exemptions are not possible.
 
I have registered for Medicine 310A and it shows 0 credits. Is this correct? Isn't it supposed to be a 3 credit course?
Linked A/B courses, such as medicine 310A and B, give no credit for the first course and 6 credits for the second course. See Regulation 6.9.4 in the University Calendar.
Deferred Exam FAQs
 
 
What are the rules for deferring a final exam?
The regulations for deferring a final exam are published in the University Calendar: Exemptions From Final Examinations and Procedures for Applying to Write Deferred Examinations.
 
How do I apply to write a deferred final exam?
You must complete an application for a deferred examination at the Department General Office. For information and general inquiries please contact biochem@mun.ca. The form is available here. You must also provide supporting documents to verify your request:
 
In the case of sudden illness, you must have a note (Student Health Certificate) from your physician indicating that you were treated on the day of the examination for the illness that caused you to miss the exam. In the case of ongoing illness, your doctor's note must clearly indicate that you have been under their care continuously.
 
NOTE: We do not want or need to know details of your medical history BUT doctor's notes must be sufficiently informative to justify your request. "Mary Brown has the flu. Please excuse her from her exam" is NOT sufficient.
 
In the case of bereavement, an obituary notice from the newspaper or some other statement showing your relationship to a deceased family member should be provided.
 
If you have three exams which from the start of the first to the end of the third is 24 hours or less, University regulations allow you to defer the middle exam.  For requests to defer the middle exam of three in 24 hrs, you must provide us with a copy of your personal exam schedule which you can prepare using StudentWeb.
 
When will the deferred final exam be held?
Deferred exams are usually scheduled before or during the first week of classes of the following semester.
You can find more information about the application process for University Wide scholarships here.
You can find more information about the application process for Faculty of Science scholarships here.
 
In many other cases, the answer is still: you don't!
 
For some University-wide, the Scholarships office will determine who is the best candidate for the award.
 
However, each year, the department does get asked to submit nominations for a number of Faculty of Science or University-wide awards.  Many of these awards are for students who meet specific criteria, such as: 
involved in extracurricular activities
participate in varsity athletics
have demonstrated leadership ability 
have demonstrated financial need
Since the department has no way of knowing which students may be eligible for these awards, it would be helpful for students to self-identify if they are interested in being nominated for a specific award(s).  If you would like to self-identify for consideration for one of these awards, please contact our Advising Office.
 
Expressing an interest in being nominated does not guarantee that the department will put your name forward as typically only one name is submitted in each case.  You must also be in Scholarship standing in most cases.
Registration Questions and Problems
 
I'm trying to register for Biochemistry 2201, I've done all the prerequisites, I'm doing the corequisite, there's space in the course but the system won't let me register.
If this happens to you, it's because you must register for your courses in the proper order. You should register first for Physics 1021 or 1051 (if you haven't already completed the course) then you should register for  Biochemistry 2201.
 
I'm trying to register for Biochemistry 2200 and the same thing happened.
Once again, the order in which you register is important. You should register first for Chemistry 2400 (if you haven't already completed the course) then you register for  Biochemistry 2200.
 
Can I get a prerequisite waiver for Biochemistry 2201?
NO!
 You must pass one course in Organic Chemistry (either Chemistry 2400 or Chemistry 2440) before you will be admitted to Biochemistry 2201. No pass, no admission!
What if I fail Chemistry 2400?
 
How can I complete my biochemistry degree on time if I fail Chemistry 2400?
First, go and ask to review your examination in Chemistry 2400. Discuss the advisability of applying for a re-read with your chemistry professor (a re-read will cost money).
In the event that you still have a failing grade in Chemistry 2400, here are some options:
(A) Take Chemistry 2400/2401 during Winter and Spring semesters
These courses may be offered at Memorial but you will need to check with the chemistry department to be sure.
Also courses are offered at other Universities for which you could get transfer credit for Chemistry 2400/2401. You will need to make sure that the courses are eligible for transfer credit by talking to our Chemistry Department. Yes, these will cost money and may interfere with your plans for summer employment. Which to do is a decision that you will have to make.
If you hope to complete an honours degree in Biochemistry, this might help you to finish on time.

(B) If you plan to complete a Biochemistry (Nutrition) major
Register for Chemistry 2400 in winter and this will act as prerequisite for Biochemistry courses helping you to finish on time.
The following general outline should then see you through:

Ocean Sciences FAQ
1. What are the differences between seals and sea lions?
Although seals and sea lions both belong to the taxonomic grouping Pinnipeds they are very different. Seals belong to the family Phocidae or true seals and sea lions and fur seals belong to the family Otaridae or eared seals. Seals differ from sea lions in 3 main ways. Seals lack external ear flaps or pinna therefore they have internal ears. Sea lions have external ear flaps covering their ears. Sea lions can rotate their hind flippers forward enhancing their ability to walk on land and climb. When seals are on land they move in an inch worm like motion known as galumphing. Sea lions use their powerful forelimbs to propel themselves forward (similar to a penguin) in the water whereas seals swim using their back flippers for power and fore flippers for steering.
2. Why are they called Harp seals?
Harp seals are called harp seals because of the “wishbone” or “harp” shape marking located on their backs.
3. Why do the seals eat ice?
Marine mammals cannot drink the salt water they live in therefore they have to find a way to obtain freshwater. Harp seals eat ice in order to obtain water. Other marine mammals get their freshwater from their food. Harp seals get water from their food as well but they are the only marine mammals known to eat ice.
4. How deep are the holding tanks the seals are in?
Both circular pools are 2½ m deep (8 feet). The satellite tank is approximately 11/3 m deep (4 feet).
5. Will the seals be released into the ocean?
No. Most of the seals have lived their entire lives at the OSC under human care. If they were returned to the ocean they would not be able to survive on their own and would risk the possibility of being carriers of a human related disease that could be transmitted to other seals, infecting the wild population.
6. Why are the seals different colours?
A Harp seals appearance changes according to their stage of life. They undergo six life stages.
Yellowjacket (birth – few days): Newborn pups have white fur that is tinted yellow from placental fluid.
Whitecoats (few days - ~2 wks): The yellowish tint disappears and the pups have a fluffy white coat. During this time the pups are nursing on their mother’s milk.
Raggedjacket (~2wks - ~6wks): After the pups are weaned they start to molt in patches leaving a dense silver-grey fur with black spots.
Beater: At ~18 days the white coat is completely molted. This stage is known as ‘beater’ because the seals cannot swim yet so they are often seen ‘beating’ at the surface of the water.
Bedlamer: This is the term used for a juvenile seal (not yet sexually mature). This coat develops around 14 months of age and remains until the seal reaches sexual maturity which is when the harp pattern begins to form. This coat is silvery in colour with black spots on the back.
Bedlamer: This is the term used for a juvenile seal (not yet sexually mature). This coat develops around 14 months of age and remains until the seal reaches sexual maturity which is when the harp pattern begins to form. This coat is silvery in colour with black spots on the back.
Adult: Males reach sexual maturity at ~7-8 years and females at ~4-6 years. At this time the typical harp coat and black mask around the face will form on the harp seal.
Harp seals also molt annually. They will shed their dead, old skin and fur to make room for a new coat. Each year the coat looks a bit different from the previous year’s.
7. Why are the seals in separate pools/the same are pool/on deck?
The seals are free to move around the enclosure via the ramps and decks as they choose.
8. Do the seals stay outside all the time?
Yes. Harp seals in the wild spend all their time outdoors. They have a thick layer of insulating blubber to keep them warm in the winter.
9. Do the seals sleep?
Yes. Harp seals sleep on land, ice and in the water. In the water they sleep at the surface and often assume a posture known as bottling, their entire bodies remain submerged with just their heads exposed, enabling them to breathe when needed. Harp seals travel long distances. During these journeys they have been observed sleeping in the bottling position for a few minutes at a time.
10. What do they eat & how much?
The harp seals at the OSC are fed Atlantic Herring. They eat anywhere between 2 -6kg of herring a day depending on the time of year (for example the seals don’t eat as much during their molt). They are also fed capelin which they receive in the form of a fish ball.
Harp seals in the wild eat a wide variety of food including capelin, polar and Arctic cod, herring, sculpin, Greenland halibut, redfish and plaice. They also eat such as amphipods, euphausids (including krill), and decapods (including shrimps and prawns).
11. How deep can they dive?
Harp seals can dive up to 330ft (100m).
12. What are the predators of harp seals?
Predators of harp seals are polar bears, orcas, Greenland sharks, and man.
13. Do the seals see under water?
Yes. Harp seals use their eyes to navigate therefore they are very important for their long migratory distances. Their eyes are large proportional to their bodies which allows for better vision. Their eyes are specially adapted for dark and murky waters. They have large rounded lenses adapted for focusing on light that is refracted upon entering the water. Also, their eyes contain a high number of rod cells that specialize for black, white and grey pigments and are sensitive to low light levels. They have a tapetum lucidum, a layer of reflecting plates behind the retina. These plates act as mirrors to reflect light back through the retina a second time, increasing the lights gathering ability of the rod cells.
14. How long do they live?
14. How long do they live?
Harp seals can live anywhere between 20-35 years in the wild. It is uncertain how long they can live in captivity.
15. How big are the seals?
The harp seals weights fluctuate during the year. They are heavier in the colder months when their blubble layer is thicker for insulation and weigh less in the warmer months when more energy is spent on molting and mating and appetite is decreased.
In the wild they are 5.25 to 6.25 ft (1.6 to 1.9 m) in length and on average weigh 180kg (400 lbs).
