Hi there 🙂 First off, I think it’s great how you’re answering a billion questions because it makes complicated lives a whole lot?easier. Now then, I was hoping if you could answer one my questions.I’m a first year student currently in the Psych program at UTM. Even though Psych interests me, I’ve had part of my heart set out on Life?Science. I’ve taken all the pre-reqs for lifesci and want to switch programs my 2nd year. Unfortunately, UTM has about 10 or so ‘programs?& specializations’ for the life sci versus the St. George campus which has about 50! I’ve looked at them and there are several that interest?me but sadly, aren’t offered at UTM.As you can see my dilemma, I need to switch to Life Sci AND get into St. George simultaneously next year. What’s the process required to achieve my goals? Do I apply to St.George as a LifeSci student or switch programs before applying to St.George? As you can tell, I have absolutely no idea and I’m dying to figure out how it works. Also, do I even have a chance? I would be really greateful if you could answer my questions. Please feel free to add any extra info that I’ve failed to ask and that would most likely be vital to my understanding. 🙂

yo yo,
Sure we have more Life Sci courses but really it was the Beauty and The Beast style library that won you over, isn’t it? I know your childhood fantasy (creepy, eh?). Wearing a pretty dress (fellows, don’t pretend you’ve never thought about this), Beast walking you into an AWESOME library all for you …sigh that’s true love!
OR even cooler! Picture a dark creepy castle like the Addams family, or Casper and pulling that one book that leads you throught the secret passages of the castle.
Man, does cool shit c0me from libraries …
Woah … sorry, back t0 your question.

- Successful applicants are admitted to a program area. Admission to a specific program is determined by the Faculty/Department once transfer credits have been assessed, and will depend on whether or not program prerequisites and grade requirements have been met.
|

- If you are currently enrolled and have a strong academic record, you may be eligible for a provisional offer of admission.
- If you have completed more than 10 full credits towards an Arts and Science degree, you are not eligible to transfer to an Arts and Science program.

If you are admitted to a different program, you will be considered for a maximum of five credits (one full year) from your previous studies.

JUST WAIT … there’s more (5 bucks says no one has read this far)
Go to this website to apply and it looks like your deadline would be March 1st.
My final suggestion is to go have a little chat with your registrar office and book an appointment with an Academic Advisor, they aren’t scary … well during the day they aren’t.
peace and love baby,
