I’m going into my second year, and already have 5.5 100-level credits, but I really want to take LAT10H1 and LAT102H1. Since LAT102H1 will be designated an “extra” course, can I take 6.0 courses in the second term and LAT102H1 on top of it, or does it still count as part of the maximum 6.0 FCE per term? If it does, is there a specific process to asking my registrar to let me take an extra course (I’m pretty sure I read you can take 7 with permission)? Thanks!<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n

“extra<\/a>” courses don’t count towards your degree credit and GPA, but they still exist<\/em>. you still have to take them once you enrol in them, you still have to pay for them, you still have to pull all-nighters for them (ugh). so unfortunately they wouldn’t allow you to bypass the 6.0 limit.<\/p>\n

if you want to enrol in over 6.0 FCEs, including extras, you’ll have to talk to your college registrar’s office<\/a> and request a course overload.<\/p>\n

good question, though. that’s a first. you have a special knack for creatively bypassing rules – i’m sure it’ll serve you well in the work world<\/a>.<\/p>\n

cheers,<\/p>\n
