Dear aska,<\/p>\n

I’m a fourth year student and I want to take an extra semester of courses to improve my gpa for Masters applications. I’m an Education and Society minor and I need to finish 0.5 credit internship before I can graduate. I’m planning on doing it in fall 2017, not taking winter courses and graduating in June 2018. You answered a question (entitled: i have LOTS of problems) that basically encapsulates my situation as well. But what I’d like to know is that if I am a full-time student in the fall (probably taking 3-4 courses) and I don’t take any courses in the winter term, would I still be a full-time student. And do I still have to pay full year’s tuition?<\/p>\n

Regards,<\/p>\n

glad to know someone’s reading our wee li’l blog!<\/p>\n

arts and sciences will assess your status by looking at the full session (both fall and winter), meaning that if you are only enrolled in 3-4 courses in one semester, you’re still considered a part time student.<\/p>\n

let’s assume that by taking 3-4 courses, you mean 1.5-2.0 FCE’s.\u00a0according to the faculty of arts and sciences<\/a>, you’re still considered part time and you’ll be able to pay per course fees.\u00a0the link above explains everything in excruciating detail ^<\/p>\n

you will also be paying reduced incidentals, which are specific to your college<\/a>:\u00a0<— select which college you are part of and you’ll be able to see what fees you’ll be paying.<\/p>\n

basically, as long as your course load is 3.5 credits or lower, you’ll pay course fees.<\/p>\n

hope this helped!<\/p>\n

peace and love,<\/p>\n
