• CR/NCR,  summer

    YES!

    Hi Aska,

    I was wondering about the 1 FCE we can take as a CR/NCR course (where we’ll get the credit as long as we get 60% or more in the course.)

    Can I use it in the summer also? I don’t see why not… I just could not find any info about this on the site. I just wanna be sure.

    Thanks!

    That sucks.

    Hi askastudent, Do we have class on Monday June 30?
    According to the artsci calendar, the university is closed on June 30.
    However, my prof told me that there will be class on that day.
    Is it even legal for the prof to have class when the univerisity is closed?
    Thanks.

    there’s nothing funny about summer school…unless your prof wears a speedo to class

    hey
    just wondering..
    how do you choose summer school courses and when? do they fill up really quick?

    guess what kids? the arts and science final summer timetable is now listed online! let’s take a look…
    step one: choosing your courses
    to select from a vast array of super-cool courses, please take a look-see at the final course listings by department. at the largest university in canada, there’s gotta be something that tickles your fancy. unless you’re a cinema studies student! then you’re screwed! isn’t academia fun?
    remember to keep an eye out for priority enrolment controls on course listings. those fancy waiting lists will be available for “f” and “y” courses from april 16 to may 16, and july 3rd for “s” courses.
    step two: what year am i? (if you have to ask…) and enrolling online:
    check out the link above to find out what year you are deemed according to course load. here’s a play by play:
    14.0 credits and above – congrats! you’re in fourth year. this is terrifying.
    9 to 13.5 credits – third
    4 to 8.5 – second
    less than 4.0 – first!
    you will enrol for classes on ROSI. (duh.) view your start time on april 5th. the following times of enrolment per school year are as follows:
    4th year – you can start at 6 AM (fun)
    3rd year – 7:15 AM
    2nd year – 11 AM
    1st year – 2:30 PM
    non-degree – 4 PM
    and uh, read all this stuff about waiting lists
    step 3: give up the cash-money
    pay your fees by may 7. after may 11th…interest.
    summer OSAP is also available. ask your registrar for details.
    step 4: go to school (fools)
    anyways – that’s all she wrote. classes do tend to fill up (depending on what they are). but there’s really only one or two good summer classes at any given time.
    cheers, askastudent

    summer school

    hello askastudent! love ur site and advice. just curious about summer school. let’s say one takes a course in the summer, will it weigh as much as the other ones and have the same ability
    to bring down one’s cgpa the same amount as if it was taken during the school year? i think summer school at uni isnt so bad since its 5 weeks long, so they cant teach that much in that limited time and the classes are smaller… whats ur take on summer school????? is it worth it?

    life-sci are self-proclaimed geeks

    Hey aska….
    Im in 1st year life sciences (yes..i know..we’re geeky little kids who whine about stupid concerns)
    Anyway, I was wondering if it would be a good idea to take 5 courses in the fall/spring and then take PHY138 (or another science course) in the summer. Like, does it matter when you take it or what your first year marks are? Does the process work the same way? Does it cost the same?
    Thanx
