So the best thing I can do is advise you to see your college registrar about your question and book an appointment. You can&#8217;t really &#8220;ditch&#8221; transfer credits after they have been assessed. They go towards your Subject PoST (which is&#8230;?) but do not count towards your GPA. If they aren&#8217;t helping you finish your degree, then maybe at least one can be used for a distribution credit or something? If you are even more confused, here is additional info from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.artsci.utoronto.ca\/current\/undergraduate\/tc\" target=\"_blank\">transfer credit office.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Whomp, whomp, whomp.<\/p>\n<p>xoxo, Askastudent<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey Aska!
