hi aska, i’m a second yr student at uoft st george and i’m currently enrolled in a course for next semester called uni250 , which is health research methods.how ever i just looked at the course calendar and realized that uni250 is a corequisite for a course i have to take next yr for my major. do i have to drop uni250 or can i take it and still take the other course next semester, or will i be kicked out?

hey there,
it depends. best thing to do is to e-mail the department that that offers the course that uni250 is a corequisite for*, and ask if they HAVE to be taken together, or if it would be okay if you took them sequentially.
the departments are ultimately the people who will drop you like a hot potato from any course you don’t meet the requirements for, so they’re the people you should ask about it.
just make sure you e-mail instead of call them , because if you get their permission, you’ll want that in writing. you don’t want to get permission from one person, get dropped from the course by another person, and then have NO PROOF that you got permission in the first place. so get it in writing, always. that’s just good life advice, actually.
cheers,
aska
* that is the most hellish sentence structure i’ve ever seen or written, but it actually makes sense. i think.
