Hi, my name is [redacted]?and I am currently pursuing a major in Computer Science at UofT: St. George. It is going to be my first year but I am currently debating on whether or not I want to major in Computer Science. I am thinking on majoring in Mathematics or Actuarial Science. What would the process be in switching into one of these courses? Please and thank you.

hey there,
i’m not certain on the wording of this, but?from what i understand, you’ve either just finished first year and are in the process of choosing subject POSts now, or you’re going into first year this coming september.
doesn’t really matter either way, i guess. subject POSts can be added, deleted and changed between april and september every single year you’re in school.
(brace yourself: uoft administrative jargon ahead).
computer science is a type 2L subject POSt, meaning only a limited number of applicants who meet the requirements get in. actuarial science is a type 2 POSt, meaning that as long as you meet the requirements, you’re eligible to enrol. finally, math is a type 1 POSt, meaning that as long as you’ve completed 4.0 credits when you request the POSt, you’ll be instantly enrolled.
the process for trying to add POSts is slightly different depending on the type. you can see the timeline and enrolment process for each type?here. also, keep in mind that just one major is not enough?- uoft needs you?to do two majors (or one specialist, or one major and two minors).
cheers,
