<\/p>\nhello! if i transfer from york biomed to utm life sci, I understand not all of my credits will transfer, or will either transfer as half a credit. I read somewhere that i may need to take an extra year to compensate for my missing credits, however i really want to avoid doing so and would love to complete my undergrad in just 4 years! are there ways i can complete all my credits in time?<\/p>\n

hi there,<\/p>\n
thank you for your patience with this answer!<\/p>\n
unfortunately, it’s a bit tough for me to gauge your situation because i don’t have access to your academic history. i don’t even know what year you’re transferring out of!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
i’d recommend that you try getting in touch with both an academic advisor at york and an admissions officer at UTM.<\/a> they’d likely be better able to answer your questions \u2014 i’m sure other prospective students have been in your situation.<\/p>\n but in terms of strategies to keep your degree within four years, you can always take summer classes if that’s something you’re open to. at u of t, you can take a maximum of 2.0 FCEs over the summer<\/a> (four courses). if you have a high enough CGPA, you can also petition for a course overload<\/a>, which will allow you take more courses than the usual limit (6.0 FCEs in the fall\/winter, 2.0 FCEs in the summer). i can’t say for sure whether these strategies will allow you to complete your degree within four years, though \u2014 that’s something you’ll need to do the math on yourself.<\/p>\n i hope this provided a bit of clarity! good luck with your decision.<\/p>\n be Boundless,<\/p>\n aska<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" hello! if i transfer from york biomed to utm life sci, I understand not all of my credits will transfer, or will either transfer as half a credit.
