repeating course

If I could turn back time … and get all A’s the first time

PART ONE

Hey ASKA!!!!

I was just wondering if their is any chance of making up for bad marks in a few courses…? What are the u of t policies regarding doing a 2 times? Which marks would be included in the gpa?

Thanks

JJ

PART TWO

Hey aska,

Okay, I am most definitely going to pass my physiology course but not with a very good?
mark. So, I was wondering if I can repeat the course and if yes, which marks will be?
counted?

Thanks
JJ

JJ baby, sorry for the tardy response. Especially if you’re are the JJ from criminal minds because you have lots of better things to do (ie being a babe and solving crimes with Matty Gray Gubler)

U of T recently launched the ‘extra’ credit which sounds cool, but really it’s like a get out of jail free card with a catch.

This is what the course calendar says:

Repeating a Course as an “Extra”

All students (both degree and non-degree-seeking) may repeat up to 1.0 full-course equivalent for which they have received credit (i.e., achieved a grade of 50% or higher or CR) for reasons other than to gain a required mark above passing to qualify for entry into a Subject POSt or a course required for a prerequisite. The repeated course will be designated an “Extra” course: it will appear on the academic record, but will be marked “Extra” and will not be included in GPA calculations or in the degree credit count.

Students may not use this one-time-only Extra provision to repeat a passed course yet again which they have already repeated once as an Extra to qualify for entry into a Subject POSt or for entry into a course for which the repeated course is be a prerequisite i.e., a student may repeat a specific passed course only once.

Students requesting to repeat a course in this way must do so at their college registrar?s office, where they will receive appropriate advising and will be enrolled, provided there is space available, only after other degree students have had an opportunity to enroll”

So pretty much … sure they will allow it but it won’t do you any good unless you are looking to repeat the course to obtain a grade for a prereq. No it won’t erase you’re not-so-hot grade and no it won’t even contribute to your CGPA

Love Always,
Aska
