what do i do if i need to take a semester off? do i just only apply for courses in the winter semester? (i need to take off the fall semester). do i have to notify anyone? does the payment schedule change?
???????????????
hey there,
if you only want to take courses in the winter semester, then it’s just as simple as only enrolling for courses in the winter semester. you don’t have to notify anyone – you’re an adult now, and you can do what you want. pretty exciting, eh? or possibly terrifying.
i’d still recommend you sign up for those winter courses at your regular start time in august. even if you have until january or whatever to sign up for classes, there’s no guarantee there’ll still be spots. that’s just a little tip from aska.
as for payment, that’ll depend on how many courses you’re taking. if you only take classes in the winter semester, you’ll likely be taking under 3.0 courses. if that’s the case, then you’ll be paying per course fees, which means you’ll be paying a certain amount for each course you take. if you take 3.0 courses or more, then you’ll be paying program fees, meaning you’ll be paying a set amount of money regardless of how many courses you take.
you can take a look at how these fees broke down this past year in order to get a sense of how it’ll look this year. since you’ll only be taking courses in the winter semester, the deadlines that would be relevant to you are?outlined in table 2 of this chart.
i know that’s a lot of financial gobbledegook i just threw at you, but i hope it makes sense!
cheers,
aska
