Hi there!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

I am an incoming 105 first-year who has applied to Psychology at UTM, and is hoping for guaranteed residence as I\u2019ve submitted my residence application before the deadline. I\u2019d like to switch my program to Social Science at UTSG instead, and I was told by the Faculty of ArtSci that switching admission categories was not going to be a problem.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

If I am admitted to Psych, what are the chances I could request\/apply for a switch or internal transfer to UTSG Social Science before<\/em> starting in the fall? Would I also be allowed to switch my residence application\/admission to UTSG, and could I still retain my theoretical guaranteed spot, or would it be considered a rolling admission and I may not be offered residence? I understand I can apply as an Internal transfer with OUAC in November, but I am hoping to avoid having to take my first year in a completely unrelated program, and campus.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Hope that makes sense. Thanks so much for your time and much love.<\/p>\n

hi bestie,<\/p>\n

much love right back at you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"I<\/p>\n

yes, it\u2019s true that switching admission categories once you\u2019ve been admitted to the Faculty of Arts and Sciences isn\u2019t a problem \u2013 you don\u2019t really need to do anything. the only thing to note is priority enrolment<\/a> for classes, which just means you sometimes have to wait an extra week or so to enrol in certain classes offered by a program you’re not in. but, this is definitely not anything to worry about.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

so what you want to do is called an internal transfer<\/a>, which y<\/span>ou\u2019d need to go through another admissions process to do. y<\/span>ou seem aware that you\u2019ll just have to make sure you meet all the prerequisites<\/a> and then fill out an internal application by the deadline for your faculty (arts & science for you). but <\/em><\/span>generally, you can\u2019t do an internal transfer at this time of year.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sesame<\/p>\n

you can reach out to the UTM registrar<\/a> to see if they\u2019ll tell you differently, but as far as i know internal transfers are only done through OUAC, and you would have to do this during the normal application period (which is more than a few months past<\/a>). so unfortunately, you might need to take your first year at UTM, as it may be too late. and, i guess if you can’t transfer right now, this also answers the<\/span> residence part of your question.<\/p>\n

i hope this was helpful and not too discouraging. best of luck!!<\/p>\n

over and out,<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
