Hey,
I am coming back as a non-degree student. I was wondering if the course exclusions still apply to me? i.e. Can I take PSL201Y1 in my non-degree year when I have taken PSL300/301H1, which are exclusions for PSL201Y1, in my undergraduate years. Also, does the max of 6.0 credits first year courses still apply?
Thanks!

Heyo
Exclusions apply to everyone, non-degree or not. Basically if you went into PSL201Y when you have an exclusion already, you may very well be automatically removed from the course, the department will do so themselves early on, or your college registrar will call you in really late into the term and tell you that you’re in an exclusion.
So can you take an exclusion? Not really.
You can appeal to the department and make sure everything is okay, in which case the course will be designated “extra” and won’t affect your cGPA.
But if there’s a lot of pressure from the faculty saying we need room in PSL201Y for the students who are actually still completing their degrees… well, I’m sure you can imagine what’ll happen to you.
Unfortunately, I have nothing to cite for you since there’s basically no written information for non-degree students.
I had to bother a bunch of sources for this question. 😉
As for taking another 100-level course — now that’s a different situation. Since that whole “you can only take 6.0 FCEs of 100-level courses” rule was a degree requirement, you can certainly take another 100-level course and have it contribute to your cGPA and not fear any removal.
Cheers!
