Hello!<\/p>\n

I’m on the precipice of my fourth year (of five) at U of T. And now, during course selections, I want to change my POST. Specifically, I want to trade my general anthropology major, my diaspora and transnational studies minor and my biology minor, for a double major in biological anthropology and socio-cultural anthropology. I believe I can do this and still respect the 12.0 distinct course rule.<\/p>\n

Can I hold two majors offered by the same department? And, will I be able to continue enrolling in classes normally if I delete my current POST in order to make these changes?<\/p>\n

Thanks for your time<\/p>\n

Hey hey<\/p>\n

“Precipice” sounds like an awkward word choice right there. Why not “cusp”? Or “brink”? Something more “edge”-esque?<\/p>\n

Anyhow, yes, yes you can enrol in those two majors together.<\/p>\n

I’m going to be honest with you, my first reaction was “Lol no.” I asked another person who said “Lol no<\/span><\/span> but maybe double check with anthro.” Then I emailed anthro — be tea dubs, the anthro undergraduate administrator is such a sweet woman! — and well… apparently you can certainly do a double major in anthro and anthro!<\/p>\n

Naturally, of course, heed the 12.0 distinct credits rule<\/span><\/a><\/span>, and remember that you can’t have more than 15.0 credit with the same three letter code.<\/p>\n

But your ability to function on ROSI (e.g. enrolling in new courses if they suit your fancy) is based on you being in a proper subject POSt combo, so if you suddenly drop the three you have and linger in a state of “requested” for the other two majors, that’ll be a problem.<\/p>\n

So for now, stick with the POSts you have and request the two majors — there’s no limit to what you can request. And then when you get invited to the new majors in September, THEN you delete the old ones.<\/p>\n

Make sense?<\/p>\n

Cheers!<\/p>\n
