Getting into level 2?
If your CA is not high enough at the end of the school year to get into a level 2 program, can you use your CA at the end of summer classes to get in?

another q...if my CA is not high enough to stay at Mcmaster University at the end of the school year, can I use the summer school sessions to bring up my CA to get into a program the following school session?

not sure about the second q

Yes u can(to the 1st q ), but it depends on ur program. For ENG, if u have a avg around 3.5 to 4 (4 is the min) you can use summer school to bump ur avg up and get back in.

Also, I believe that there is some date in summer, where in u need to have the min mark to carry on with second term SS courses.

hope that helps

in eng, the answer to ur question is yes and no. ur initial offer for program choice is based on ur avg throughout the year, no summer. u can use ur summer marks to boost ur avg to get into what you are offered

Comp Eng usually has a low average due to a lesser demand, though it can vary year by year.



PROTIP: If you're deadset on Elec Eng but have too low of an average to get in, you can enter Comp Eng for L2S1, and then in L2S2 transfer into Elec Eng by notifying your faculty and enrolling in Math 2ZZ3.
