• OSAP,  probation

    expect some serious “I told you so”s

    Hi! I have a question about OSAP. Last semester I took 4 courses and I failed one, and this semester I took 4 courses but I dropped 2 because they were too hard for me. I believe I’m on OSAP probation but I only received a letter telling me to start repaying the loans 6 months from now. I plan to take 3 courses (2.0credits) in the summer session. Is it still possible for me to apply for OSAP?

    it’s all those numbers…


    hey.. I am currently in second year. I was on probation and this semester i pulled up my gpa to 1.88 but the problem is that i did not take one final exam. the make up is in feb. I want to know if i will be assessed after taking that final exam or anytime soon as i have completed 4 utm credits now. secondly it says on the site that if you were on probation and deferred an exam you will not be able to enroll in courses unless your status is decided. Although my GPA is above the required GPA and i have also completed 4 credits, i am afraid they will drop me out of all courses as my status is still blank on rosi. Like will i have to waste on semester because of this deferral? t says that students are assessed as soon as they complete 4 utm credits and then i also read about not being allowed to enroll in courses unless you have settled your deferral.
    I also wanted to know that utm students are allowed to enroll in courses downtown after completing 4 credits. but what is the minimum GPA requirement for that.? Please help me out i am really confused. Thank you

    and a happy new year…

    If this is my second semester at uoft (starting in winter semester last year), and I have only taken 4 courses, (one of them which i will fail), does this mean that I will be put on academic probation for next semester, starting in january? or do I have until April t0 get my act together and pull my gpa up. Also, when they look at academic probation, is it cumulative? Or is it just a semester by semester basis? help me!

I have just finished first year in Enginering in UOFT and I have failed and they have put probation on me for one semester which means that I cannot join until Jan 2009. My cumalative GPA was 1.26 and I understand that I need to obtain 1.60 … My Problem is dont know what to do until jan 2009 . I have been told by some friends that I can attend lectures from Sep however they dont consider me for exams.. is that possible ? Can i just simply go and sit in class and take second year courses so I am ready in jan 2009 ? please help me to get some clarification. Thanks

    Can you hear me Major Tom?

    Hi Askastudent

    I am sorry to tell you that my Sessional GPA was 1.20 and CGPA was 0.32 in my 2nd year in UT, I just suspended for 1 year and i would like to strive for the specialist programme of Psychology. I know it is hard to get into the programme, So I may consider Specialist of Behavioral Science as my 2nd major (PSY100 only got 62…)
    Sigh, may you provide some advices to me? Thx

    step away from the sorority girls…put the keg down…

    Location: United States
    I was accepted to UT and I will probably attend. The trouble is I am very bad in large lecture classes. I will go to office hours and take advantage of many of my colleges services, but I was wondering if there was anything I could do on campus such as a smaller advising program or a chance for a mentor. I am afraid I will fail out next year. I was thinking of joining a sorority to make friends. I need help.
