Hai. C:We can repeat courses so we can get the required grades for our POSTs right? D: Do we need to go to the registrar for that? I read what they said on the calendar but the wording is just a tiny bit confusing.
And do you know when and how we apply for the summer session? Also are the academic advisors scary? I know I should be asking an academic advisor these questions but I’m too afraid to go. Thanks aska! |

Hay,
So lets just dive right in there!
This is what the course calendar says on repeating a course (just to make sure we are on the same page … and so it looks like I’ve written more than I have)
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 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, yes you can repeat it, but it doesn’t get included into your CGPA.
For summer school, you can see your enrolment time on April 2nd, and you enrol on April 9th. The final course calendar will be released the week of March 19th.
Nah! Academic advisors aren’t that scary. There’s probably a rule about making them scary. I suggest you make an appointment and just go chat with them about your academic plan. If they?freak you?out for some reason,?just run away (but they won’t, trust me).
