Hi there,<\/p>\n

I am alumni at U of T (having completed a BA in political science specialist). I am wanting to return to complete a BSc in psychology and human biology. I have already completed the petition to A&S. I was just wondering if you knew anything about success rates or if they are prone to not letting students come back and, if so, for what reasons?<\/p>\n

Thanks.<\/p>\n

Hey Aska,<\/p>\n

I submitted a petition to return to complete a second degree (BSc – right now I hold a BA) almost a month ago. I called A&S and they said Woodsworth would let me know. I called Woodsworth and they said A&S is handling it. So, seems like neither is handling it? Do you know how long it will take to hear back about the petition and what the success rate is? My GPA in my BA wasn’t fantastic but I also now have no clue how or when I will hear back as I can’t seem to get an answer.<\/p>\n

Help! Lost, frustrated and entirely confused!<\/p>\n

Thanks!<\/p>\n

hey there,<\/p>\n

well, seeing as this answer is obscenely late (how did a month go by so fast?) i’m hoping that you’ve heard back from them at this point. if you haven’t, i would call the office of the registrar at the faculty of arts & science<\/a>, let them know you’d like an answer, and tell them woodsworth isn’t giving you one. somebody should be able to let you know when you can expect to hear back from them.<\/p>\n

i honestly don’t know the success rate for second degree petitions. lots of people are ineligible because they want the same degree (e.g. another B.A. when they already have a B.A. from uoft), so that’s not an issue for you. i imagine that if you didn’t do terribly in your first degree (no academic probations, suspension, that kind of thing), then you should be eligible, but i honestly don’t know what the rates of success are.<\/p>\n

definitely keep in touch with the office of the registrar at arts & science, as well as the registrar’s office at woodsworth until they can give you an ETA.<\/p>\n

cheers,<\/p>\n
