We Like To Transfer Transfer

Dear Askastudent,

I was wondering if you knew that the CGPA for sociology is to transfer from UTSC to UTSG. i heard that the CGPA now.. is raised up to a 3.5-3.7. is that true? I was wondering if you knew what the CGPA requirement is. I’m kind of afraid. I’m in 2nd year right now. Also, it’s october 15th already, and i still don’t see the application posted up on the uoft website. Also, how will they look upon your first year marks? Cause I’m kind of scared for that.

Anyways, thanks so much for taking your time to read this.

???????????????

Guys … what is going on at UTSC. I’m receiving a surplus of transfer questions. Is Scarborough that scary or is St.George just that awesome?!

Here is the information that the U of T admissions website says about an internal transfer into a social science program. If you don’t want to read all the information below it pretty much says that in order to transfer you will need a CGPA of 2.5 … and higher for more competitive programs. To be honest the 3.5-3.7 sounds like bull.?I haven’t heard that the competition is that high at all. So i wouldn’t be scared. ?
Also if you want to ignore the majority of the info, scroll right to the bottom and there is a link telling you when you should apply.

Information About Transferring:
  • Transfer credits are assessed after admission has been decided. Credits are considered for degree courses taken at recognized degree-granting institutions. More information will be provided at the time of admission.
  • 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.
Additional Information:
  • Every Faculty of Arts and Science, University of Toronto St. George student is a member of one of seven colleges. You must indicate your college preferences when you apply. Selecting a college is a personal decision unrelated to program choice. For information about what to consider when choosing a college, and for some quick facts about each one visit the colleges website.
  • 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 already hold a degree from the Faculty of Arts and Science (University of Toronto, St.George Campus), University of Toronto Mississauga or University of Toronto Scarborough, you may complete a second degree only of an alternate type (e.g. if you have a B.A. degree then you may not complete a second B.A. degree). 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.
  • 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 have completed more than one year of university level study, your application will not be considered for the Journalism program at the University of Toronto Scarborough.
  • If you wish to take courses to qualify for a graduate program or other professional programs, you may want to consider applying as a Non-degree applicant. For information about Non-degree studies, please go back and select ?none of these apply to me? and then select ?I want to be a non-degree student?.
What if my first language is not English?

How and when should I apply for Full-time or Part-time studies?

If you are still a little concerned, you can give your registrar’s office a shout and make an appointment with an academic advisor. They are just bursting with information and need able-persons to spew it out on to. Its really not as gross as we just made it seem.

Happy transferring,
aska
