Hey I was just wondering, if I want to switch into a different program?second year, so if I were to switch from Psychology in first year to Life?Sciences in second year, how does that procedure work? Thanks in advance!<\/p>\n

?????????<\/p>\n

Howdy!<\/p>\n

…yeah I’m never opening with howdy again lol.<\/p>\n

Anyway, how things work at this lovely university is that in first year, you start off in a stream<\/a>. You can be in Humanities, Life Sciences, Social Sciences, blah blah blah. There’s quite a few, but they’re veeeery general. Next, you take a whole load of 100-level intro courses<\/a> to things that interest you\/are relevant to your life choices! You can, for the most part, take whatever you want — assuming you have the prerequisites needed for them.<\/p>\n

And then after this first year of testing the water, you come down with the classic case of “what the actual eff are Subject POSts?”<\/a> confusion, a common problem that can be remedied by attending your college’s little seminar-y thing offered around March about POSts.<\/p>\n

But in short, they’re your programs of study<\/a>. At that point, after taking whatever 100-level bio is offered and meeting the program requirement, you can enter the bio program. Or the psychology. Or bioethics. Whatever.<\/p>\n

tl;dr = you don’t have to “transfer” from “psychology” to “life sciences.”<\/p>\n

Really, you’re probably starting off here in some science-y thing, you’ll take your courses, and then at the end of first year, you enrol in the program you want and throw away any unwanted dreams about psych.<\/p>\n

Make sense?<\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n
