Program Issues..
Hi, i'm not sure if this is the place i can ask this, i'm sorry if it's the wrong spot!

I just had a few questions. I took 24 credits during my first year and I'm taking the remaining 6 during the summer. Because of this, i didnt make it into any of the programs i wanted and so i'm kind of confused about what I'm supposed to be doing for next year. As well, let's say i end up failing one of the courses and end up with only 27 first year credits...what happens then? Would i have to stay back in first year again?

Sorry for the barrage of questions, my mind's a big mess right now lol, any help would be appreciated!

Unfortunately, I'm not really sure how this would work.

I failed a course in first year and moved on to second year with only 27 units. I got into the "back up" program I put down, but not the one I wanted.

Between second and third year I made up the credit, and was accepted into the program I wanted.

Unfortunately, that's all I can really offer you...for specifics you're going to have to contact a faculty advisor.

Thanks for the help! Really appreciate it I talked to an advisor a while ago and she had told me that if i didnt get into any of the programs I applied for, i'd still be in Science Level 2....is that how it works then? You aren't in a specific program, just part of the science faculty till you apply and get accepted into the program you want?

I guess so. You're missing the requirements so it makes sense I suppose.
