dear lord! only 2.5??? you savage!

Is there a minimum to the amount of courses one is aloud to take during their first year at u of t? Im afraid I bombed a course and have no chance of passing it. If I dropped it and passed my other? courses that would mean I would obtain 2.5 credits this year.

Nope. Well you need to take a course to be considered a student, but you can even finish your year with only half a credit, as far as the university cares. As one of my favorite registrars once put it, you can complete a credit a year and graduate in 20. That’s cool too. The only thing is that in order to select a program of study (or programs) you need to complete at least 4 FCEs. Which in your case means that your POSt selection will only be possible next year. No biggy.
