Hi, I am a UTM student, but thought you could also provide some helpful information to me.
I’m pretty close to graduating, but due to a complicated situation, got in trouble with the school and might possibly get suspended for a year. It’s
unfortunate, cause I love my psych course and study hard and don’t have anyone else writinh my essays for me. 🙁
So, I’m trying to put a plan into motion just in case I do get suspended.I want to take courses at Guelph or Athabasca (online uni) and have them
transfered over to UTM. A lady at the office of Dean said that I am welcome to take courses at other non-UofT universities during suspension. However one of your online posts said that courses taken while under suspension are not allowed to count as transfer credits, even though in a non-suspension
situation they probably would.
I need clarification.

Hello there UTM one,
All the information, although contrasting, is accurate.
What the Dean office lady is referring to is that you are allowed to pursue a degree at another university if you so choose to (and the other university allows it).
Buuuuutt, your degree at UTM has essentially been hit by a pause button if you are suspended. This means that you are not allowed to take courses to contribute towards your degree. This means that any courses, taken at any school, cannot be contributed to your degree. So, any courses taken during this time cannot be transferred back to U of T to go towards your degree.
What U of T is getting at is that they want you to chill out and reflect on what you want in life and sort any complicated situations that are holding you back from excelling at your academics.
Stay calm and suspend on.
