Engineering going below 33 units
So what will happen if I drop a class and go below 33 units.

I know that if you go over the limit that your program has, lets say taking 40 units instead of 39, you will pay extra. How much do I have to pay if I go below 33?

Your OSAP could be affected. I think the 33 units is every course after that is no charge

There was a chart somewhere for price per credit, and in Management you pay for 30 credits regardless of how many credits you take (as long as it's less than 40) or pay for 33 for regular engineering

That'd be great if it was true, I think I'm still registered in management.

If you had more than 33 units prior to cancelling the course, lets say 35 units, you had paid for only 33 units. And if you cancelled a course yesterday, you'd have to pay for the additional 2 units too.

No i had 33 units, and its 30 now. I didn't get any bills yet, but then again my grade report doesnt say anything about the cancelled course, even thought my timetable changed. So I guess it takes time to calculate how much I own them.

Yeah so basically you will be paying the same but with one less course. I know there was a credit breakdown under the payment agreement but since you cant access that now, I cant remember how to find the exact values
