lctb Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 I have to complete 1 chemistry and 2 physics courses to open some doors applications wise. Would taking courses online be an appropriate way to approach this? Specifically I'm wondering if UofA accepts online physics courses (do they care about lab?) any help appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DentalExplorer Posted February 26, 2020 Report Share Posted February 26, 2020 Its always better to contact the schools with specific questions! Admissions should give you an idea of eligible courses (although often they require a lab component, this is a question better answered by the school itself).

lctb Posted February 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 I've asked but some of them straight up say they can't do an unofficial evaluation of documents which essentially implies its your problem haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genetics123 Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 This was a major problem for me as well. Some institutions have classes that they’ve evaluated in the past for transfer credit (UofR, UofS, etc) as well some provinces have a transfer evaluation (bctransferguide) but sometimes you can’t tell beyond comparing the two course outlines. As a general rule of thumb almost all institutions require you to take labs with science courses (excluding biochem, anatomy, etc). If none of the above works for you then the best thing you can do is apply and get an evaluation. Hella understand the frustration though. I applied to UofS this year with an online biochemistry class but they deemed it insufficient despite the other four institutions I applied to having no problem with it , AND the course outlines were virtually identical.

Fentist Posted February 27, 2020 Report Share Posted February 27, 2020 I took biochem as an actual course from my university but USask deemed it insufficient while the other institutions has no problem with my biochem course. Each school is different, highly suggest that you contact the school so that you don't run into any problems later on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
