Dear Aska,
I am a second year student currently enrolled in the Criminology Major program. I really don’t want to do it anymore, I would like to switch my program this April to Women and Gender studies. BUT, I am enrolled in a Criminology course for next semester. Can I drop that course while still enrolled in the program to make space for courses I’ll use in my new program once I change? Should I drop it if I’m still in the program? Also, when can I delete the Criminology subject post? Should I wait until I hear back from my other programs?
Sincerely,
Lyssa

Hey hey!
Okay so to be clear on any matters of switching programs, that can only happen between April and September at the end of an academic year. So there will be no leaving ditching your Criminology POSt until April. Likewise, there will be no enroling in Women and Gender Studies until then. However, Women and Gender Studies is a Type 1 POSt, meaning ywhen you enrol you get in assuming you have all the requirements, so you can definitely drop the Criminology major once the time comes.
As for your course issues, you can definitely drop the Criminology one to take a WGS one. I mean I don’t see why not… You didn’t sign any weird contract binding you to Criminology courses did you?
Just make sure to enrol in your WGS courses as soon as possible if you’re sure that they’re what you want. Lectures might already be full considering the fact that second semester is looming — which is depressing to say on the second last day of first semester.
Cheers!
