Hello Aska!Heading into my second year in September at UTSG (life sci), but I’m already planning to transfer out to another institution in December (since my May plan has been rejected and foiled). However, what would happen in December if I am halfway through a year-long history course? Would I get credit if I transfer halfway out the course?If no credit will be given, is it advisable to transfer out at the end of second year to another university (back home? 🙁 )?Love, distressed UofT student.

Hi Distressed U of T Student (… well one of them),
No … simply no. In order to receive a credit for a course you must complete it in its whole … completeness.
You actually made me ponder there for a second (which doesn’t really happen all that often with intention)?of things that you can complete partially and still receive the full outcome … it didn’t work? sooooo
Side Bar Ted – 5 things that you cannot complete partially and receive the full reward for
1) Ordering Medium Regular at Tims (yes? … that is what I order, so feel free to bring a me a cup of joe) and giving them 80 cents when it’s worth $1.60 outside of Toronto… or $1.65 within the city (yes I think the price difference in bull)
2) Running a marathon: you are first at the 21.1km mark and then just stopping … I assure you they will require you to finish in order to get your gold.
3) Only completing half a roller coaster: you will not be paid for your work and in the likelihood that the incomplete nature of the coaster leads to a death, you will most likely end up with less money then when you started
4) Only making one leg in a pair of pants: one leg will be naked … although you might make a new fashion trend
5) Courses: If you sign up for a 1.0 and attend 50% of the course: you will not receive 0.5 FCE despite how awesome that would work out
The only way around transferring out after the fall session would be if you only took ‘H’ courses (i.e half a credit). Was your May plan rejected because you did not meet the grades required in order to transfer? If this is the case, and you did not take any courses in the summer, then your Fall credits will not have been completed at the time you are trying to apply for a transfer … and thus your grades will remain the same and will be inadequate if they were prior.
Good luck matey.
forever in your heart … and mind,
aska
