courses

if it doesn’t count towards your degree, it doesn’t count toward anything really

Hey !

On the site for subject posts it says, “No more than six courses may be 100-series.” Does the six courses include a failed course?

Thanks,

Hey Janet,

This is one of those questions that put me in a moment of doubt of my own basic knowledge because I’ve never been asked that before.

But no, that doesn’t include failed courses. So you can have 8.0 FCEs worth of 100-level courses, but as long as 2.0 of them are failures, you’re good.

Or to word that better: a failed 100-level course does not count towards that 6.0 FCE limit.

    You don’t need to fail any course, the extra courses (above 6 FCE) will be denoted as Extra on your transcript and not count towards your GPA or total number of credits to graduate. You can take as many as you like but the point is they stop counting towards the 20 FCEs you need. But they can still be used for subject PoSTS and as prerequisites, just not for your total degree. That way they force you to take upper year courses too.
