• bad times,  suspension

    my dog ate it… repeatedly.

    February 20, 2009

    soo… i’m feaking out. this past little while has been stressful enough with a lot of family stuff going on and being the idiot that i am…i decided not to “take it easy” like the people at registrars suggested and instead just kept plowing through anyways…. now i have a fear of being suspended for a semester. so now for my questions
    a) if i am suspended for a semester does this tarnish my rep of getting into teacher’s program at u of t?
    b) does the u of t teacher’s program look at all 4 years or the final year.. or what?
    c) be honest with him… with a screwed up past like this and a possible suspension… what are my chances of even getting into a teacher’s program if i pull my marks up high next year?
    d) can an academic suspension be petitioned? and what are the chances of it going through?
    ps. i’m in my third year at utsc

    it’s the 4th dimension

    February 20, 2009

     

    I’m a full IB student and I’d like to get into english at st george, but im becoming quite nervous about my IB scores. I’d say that with a reasonable dose of optimism my predicted scores will probably be in the 30-32 range, including bonus points. Would this get me in? And of course, if i were to be accepted with say a 31, but somehow manage to royally screw up my exams in may, and instead get a 28, would I still have a chance??

    it’s all those numbers…

    February 13, 2009


    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

    February 4, 2009

    i was wondering how/ when one would go about switching from one u of t campus to another. more specifically, i am currently at utm but would like to transfer to the st george campus for fall 2009. i have spoken to a few people who have done this but all have gone about it different ways. is it as simple as filling out a form from the registrar or do i need to go through ouac?

    thank you

    workers of the world, chillax!

    Hey Aska

    Has the potential strike at U of T been averted? Or what’s going on with that?

    Will the 2009-2010 year be affected by this?

    To my knowledge, tutorials and labs go hand in hand with the lectures…. and I wouldn’t want my education to suffer and money go drown the drain.

    Thanks!
