All about lovely credits !
So by the end of the school year (i.e April) I will have 21 credits and I need 24 to get into second year. I plan on retaking the courses during the summer so once i get those credits can they be added on to my 21 so i can get my 30 again?

I believe so because every course at Mac you take counts towards your cumulative average.

Yup. You'll also want to make sure that your faculty knows this too, after you took the needed course(s)! Or else you'll be possibly stuck in a program you don't want to be in!

Set up a meeting with an academic advisor. The office is in BSB near the main lobby. When you enter BSB through the main doors turn left.
