Retaking a course makes me have 27 credits?
I'm retaking math because it is necessary for me to get a certain mark for level 2 programs. Now that I am retaking, I have 27 credits instead of 30 right? And if so, how bad is that? Because I saw the pre reqs for getting into level 2 science programs and they add up to 24 credits... if i do NEED 30, is it possible for me to take 6 courses?

When the university was established back in 1887, they were like "hmmm, maybe we should make a guidance councilor office." so maybe you should walk to BSB and see an advisor.

I don't think it's really that bad. But I'm pretty sure you need 30 units in level I for a whole bunch of programs. I would assume that generally you'll be fine though. You need to make up those 3 credits somehow though (to be able to graduate with 120 credits for your BSc.) If I were you, I would want to get rid of it asap, take it in the summer for example? As for taking 6 courses, you're allowed to but only if your overall GPA is a 7 or above. I'm not too sure if you can overload in level I though =/. Definitely book an appointment with someone at the Associate Dean's office to see them on Monday and ask them about second year programs and how competitive you are for your choices and such (the add/drop date is Tuesday if you're thinking about overloading!).

Sorry Insider agent , I know I sounded rude.

@patela77 Whenever, there is a question regarding such information, the first thing you do is go to the office, because if someone gave you wrong information and you ended up doing that anyway, no body can help you at that time. So look even sarah told you to go to the office, because there information might be different or they might add an extra crucial thing.

@L'Étoile- Haha. I'll admit it did sound a little too "pushy" but I know you didn't mean it that way!
