i already dropped one course, so the total number of courses i'm taking is 8. i'm wondering how many courses must i not fail to stay in school or does my average just need to be above 65 to stay in school?

Your average just needs to be over 3 to stay in university.

McMaster uses a 12.0 scale that may or may not correspond to a percentage. You'll have to translate each course to the 12.0 scale and use them to find an average.

since you are in engineering, you need 12 courses per full year to have enough credits to graduate in the 4 years. unless you plan on taking some in the summer. as for the average, i think you have to keep a 4 to stay in engineering, not sure what it is for other programs
