Hey,<\/p>\n

Is it possible to declare a political science major at the end of third year? The academic calendar only outlines the requirements for students applying at the end of second year. I was wondering if there really is a difference between enrolling after second year or third year.<\/p>\n

The reason why I haven’t enrolled in the political science major just yet is because I have yet to fulfill the requirements. I will have fulfilled them by the end of third year though. Can I still apply then?<\/p>\n

Yo Gee,
\nYou betcha! It seems that this is just a confusion of sneaky wording. Let’s break it down now:<\/p>\n

“Limited Enrolment”\u00a0<\/strong>–Students enrolling at the end of first year (4.0 credits) must obtain a CGPA of at least 2.00 and a mark of at least 65% in 1.0 POL credit. Students applying to enrol after second year (8.0 credits) must obtain a CGPA of at least 2.30 and a mark of at least 70% in each of 2.0 POL credits. ”<\/p>\n

So you can apply at the end of first year or “after” 2nd year. If they had said at the end of 2nd year, then I don’t think you would be able to apply but because 3rd and 4th year are all after 2nd, then you can for sure apply!<\/p>\n

Happy political sciencing,<\/p>\n

forever watching Bill Nye … the science guy,<\/p>\n
