of COURSE, calendar!

Hello Aska,

It’s me again. It’s really good to ask any kinds of questions, and you can always always answer them clearly. (Don’t mind me paraphrasing a little bit from a previous post),? you must be my guidance angel in u of t!

Okay, here is my question. We have new course calendar every year, and I think there may be slightly chances among those calendars. So I am wondering I should focus on the calendar of the my first year, or my graduating year? You know, I depend on those calendars to decide my subject post and stuff.

Thanks! 🙂

ARE YOU KIDDIN? ME?? Two people think I?m an angel! I think that makes it official. I should call up the Church and ask them about the process of being declared a saint. Saint Aska; I think that has a nice ring to it.

Well, I hate to sully your impression about me as someone who gives clear answers, but the deal with course calendars is a little tricky. When you?re choosing courses, obviously, you should look at the calendar for the year you?re taking them in.

However, if there are changes made in subject POSt requirements in subsequent course calendars, if you?re already in the subject POSt, those changes don?t usually apply to you. They?ll typically say something like ?if you enrolled after 2010,? or whatever the year they made the changes is, “then xyz.” So if you?re looking at subject POSt stuff, look at the calendar for the year you enrolled. Or, if you want to be really safe about it, you can just look on the website of the department your subject POSt is administered from.

I hope that makes some sense.

Best,

aska

    Ah, no, sorry – if you’re not actually in a subject POSt yet, then look at the 2014-2015 calendar, ‘cuz that’s the one you’re entering with. If whatever you’re looking at is related to the upcoming year, then look at the calendar for the upcoming year.
