Ss123toy Posted August 23, 2019 Report Share Posted August 23, 2019 Not sure if I need to fill out the additional information box that says "If applicable, please explain why: A) Your education has not been continuous B ) Your college or university education includes one or more part-time terms C) You are not currently attending college or university." I took 30+ credits in first and second year but only 27 credits in third year. Would that year count as a "part-time term" that I need to explain in this box? UBC admissions say they consider full time terms to be 5 courses/term or 30 credits/year. In third year, I did take 5 courses in first term and 6 courses in second term but they added up to only 27 credits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could make a note if you feel it’s necessary, or have a reason you want to share. But it’s probably fine if you don’t. That box is really more for explaining gaps or more significant part-time terms, and you don’t really fall into that category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stressedtoimpress Posted September 11, 2019 Report Share Posted September 11, 2019 Hi! I hope to apply in the future but I am also in the same situation as you, I am technically taking 11 courses in 2nd year but it only adds up to 29 credits. For the rest, I have 30+. I wish you luck with your application! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
