Hey Aska,<\/p>\n

I am currently taking 4 courses, one full year and three half year courses, for a total of 2.5 FCEs. I would like to drop one of the half year courses but if I have only 2 FCEs will I become a part-time student? I am on OSAP so will this affect that as well?<\/p>\n

I wouldn’t mind being a part-time student but only for this semester- I want to take 3 courses in the summer so if I do end up going for part time, how difficult would it be to do that then change back to full time in May?<\/p>\n

Thank you!<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n

if i could have one wish in all my life, it would be that people told me what campus they were on before they asked a question. alas, there seems to be no genie in sight for me<\/a>.<\/p>\n

in any case, on all<\/a> three<\/a> campuses<\/a>, you need to be taking at least 3.0 FCEs in the fall\/winter terms to be full-time (it’s articulated slightly differently on each campus, but that’s what it boils down to).<\/p>\n

so if you’re in 2.5 credits, then you’re already a part-time student. that may affect your OSAP, and i would recommend talking to the financial counsellor at your local registrar’s office<\/a> about it.<\/p>\n

applying for OSAP and registering for courses in the summer term is a completely separate process from registration and OSAP in fall\/winter, so if you’re a part-time student now, that shouldn’t at all affect any future semesters. all you have to do to be full-time in the summer is sign up for at least 1.5 FCEs.<\/p>\n

cheers,<\/p>\n
