So, things went kinda bad for me last year, I ended up dropping a couple?courses and landed on academic probation. I know you’re only allowed to?take 3.0 credits on probation, but my question is, will there be any?consequence if I don’t stick to the 1.5 each semester suggestion? I know?the suggestion is to ease stress and make it easier to do well in the?courses so you can get off probation, but three of the 0.5 credit courses I?want to take are only available in first semester, along with the one 1.0?credit course I would be taking all year and one 0.5 credit course in?second semester. Will I be blocked from doing that? Or will me academic?adviser just discourage it? Because I really see no other way.<\/p>\n
Thanks so much.<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n
either i’ve<\/em> missed something major, or you<\/em>?have, because i can’t find any rule – on any of the three campuses – that says you can only take 3.0 credits\/year while on probation.<\/p>\n on the downtown campus, the maximum number of courses you can take per semester is five (see “Academic Standing<\/a>“). at UTSC, the limit is four per semester<\/a>.<\/p>\n i can’t figure out what the limit is at UTM – it seems like it’s 5.0 per year<\/a> but they’ve got some finicky wording going on that’s confusing me. in any case, i don’t see anywhere that the limit is 3.0.<\/p>\n so either you’re just MAKING STUFF UP<\/a>, or you’re WRONG<\/a>, OR this is a special circumstance that falls outside the regular rules.<\/p>\n i’m gonna give you the benefit of the doubt and assume the latter: if?your course restrictions are part of a special limitation from your?faculty that is specific to you, then there’s not much advice i can give you. your college\/faculty registrar’s office has gotta be much more dialled in about your situation?than i am – so you’d better talk to them about it.?and if they do advise you against a lopsided?course load, then?listen to them<\/em>, for goodness’ sake.<\/p>\n if you DON’T have any special limitations,?then you’re just wrong. haha.
