drop courses like they’re hot

Hey aska,

I’m taking a four credit course load right now in my first year. I’m not doing so well, and have already dropped a full year course. I’m not convinced I’m going to pass film, and am considering dropping it as well. My question is this, if I drop film (a full year course), I’ll end up with only 3 credits. At the end of this year, I’ll only be considered a first year still, correct?? Also, with the whole fixed price with 4-5-6 courses, would I get any reimbursement?

Thanks,

Bumbled

yo yo Bumbled,

oooh the first year dropping spree … many go through this.

A first year is considered someone who:

has completed less than 4 full coure equivalents

 

So yah you’ll still be considered first year.

I personally find this whole program fees a little irrating <shakes fist at the business of university> but I found you some dates,

The Registration Handbook and Timetable states:

October 6 2010: F and Y course load count date for program/per-course fee determination

meaning that you will be charged for any ‘Y’ courses you were enrolled in past October 6th.

love always,

aska
