Dropping classes and switching pgms
So I'm planning on dropping one of my courses, but I have a problem. I'm also planning to switch from the B.A. program to the honours program in my faculty.

Does anyone know if dropping my class will have any affect on getting approval to switch programs?

Almost everyone here is going to tell you to speak with an Academic Advisor.

Yep, the only person that can give you all the answers you're looking for and advice and such is an academic advisor in your current faculty .

It depends on what year you're in, as well as the number of credits you have completed, your grades etc.

But an academic advisor is your best bet, since they would be aware of changing policies and can pull up your academic profile.

Contact the first year Eng coordinator and ask them what the steps are.
