Hey aska,
I go to the downtown campus and I’m starting my third year as an English\/ anthro double major. One small problem. When I enrolled, ant 372 wasn’t categorized as group a b or c within the anthro department. This year, however, it’s in group c. Nonetheless, degree explorer keeps telling me it’s not a group c credit, and that I’m short a group c credit.
Log story short, is this happening because I have to stick to how the course was catagorized in my first year calendar?<\/p>\n

\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n

degree explorer should be sticking to what the POSt requirements were in the year you entered the POSt. however, things can get head-achingly confusing<\/a>\u00a0when the department shifts courses around too much. so there’re a few things i’d advise you to do:<\/p>\n

1) never take what degree explorer says at face value. though it should recognize the year that you entered the POSt (and it should list that year, actually), there is a possibility it hasn’t been updated, or some bit of data was input incorrectly, or a million other things that could’ve messed up the system.<\/p>\n

2) ultimately, the people who decide whether or not you’ve completed the requirements for a POSt are the department. so\u00a0contact anthropology<\/a>, explain which credit you have and when you entered the POSt, and ask where you stand in terms of POSt requirements. they’ll be able to tell you if you’re still ok, or if there’s another course you need to take.<\/p>\n

good luck with it,<\/p>\n
