Extra, extra, read all about extra courses!

Hi there,

I’ve a question about the “no more than six 100series courses” policy at UofT. I already took 7 of 100level courses, and the last one was PSY100H1. I know that the grade for it won’t be calculated in my GPA and I’m fine with it, but I need this half course for my science distribution requirement(1FCE). I’ll be taking another “science” DR course next term (ast201H, 0.5 FCE), but I was wondering if the PSY100 will be counted towars DR as well.
That’s what they show in the degree explorer
Req7) Distribution requirement of 1.0 Credit from “Science Courses”
Courses used: AST201H1(IPR), PSY100H1(Extra)
Credits 1.00/1.00 (including 0.50 in progress)
The requirement is marked as “pending”
Does it mean it will be counted towards DR? If not, can you kindly let me know my options (for e.g. if I can request to “cancel” one of those six 100-series courses and exchange it for PSY100H)? Thanks a lot!

hey there!

alright, the super confusing rules page?was probably the culprit here for confuddling the bejesus out of you. basically, there’s usually no way to fiddle around with which courses are made extra – it’s pretty much always a chronological thing and the registrar’s fairly inflexible about that except in very specific cases.

HOWEVAH. if a course is extra, it still counts towards your subject post and or/breadth requirements. so both PSY100H1 and AST201H1 will count, they just won’t be included in your overall GPA because they’re considered extra.

comprende? cool.
